Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Qin Ming and the other had already arrived at a hidden location near the Netherworld Abyss.

This was also the information Qin Ming obtained based on the intelligence from Soul-Searching Profound Nine Yin, directly leading him to the vicinity where the two factions discovered the Demon Ancient Holy Hall.

Upon arriving, Qin Ming did not enter recklessly, as such an important place was surely heavily guarded by the High-Tier Cultivators of the Netherworld Sect.

Therefore, he went to a nearby market, intending to first scout the situation inside.

The Secret Realm capable of causing Divinity Transformation Cultivators to fall clearly wasn’t easy to enter.

His primary goal was still to gather information about the traitor inspector of the Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming retracted Lan Bing Fairy back into the Little Spirit Realm, and he and Baili Hui disguised themselves as two ordinary Loose Cultivators and blended in.

This ’Treasure Harbor Market’ is an industry of the Netherworld Sect, located on the traffic hub of the entire Demon Ancient Wasteland, and its scale is considerably larger, even more so than Qianji Immortal City.

Thus the prosperity of this market is quite unique.

The streets were bustling with people, with shops lined up one after another, and several large docks on the outskirts of the market aiding cultivators traveling to and from the Netherworld Abyss.

Densely packed ships moored along the port, though their materials were somewhat special, with an entirely black style, seemingly having a layer of coating capable of resisting erosion from the Nether River.

Qin Ming adjusted his cultivation to Late-stage Nascent Soul, which was not too conspicuous and deterred some petty criminals, reducing some troubles.

The two of them followed the main road to a rather luxurious inn called the ’Endless Inn.’

Qin Ming learned from Profound Nine Yin’s memory that Endless Inn is a neutral faction within the Treasure Harbor Market.

Anyone who stays will be under its protection.

On the stone statue at the entrance of the inn stood an ancient stone stele with the words: ’Once in Endless, you’ll be safe.’

Qin Ming paid a considerable amount of spirit stones at the front desk and booked a room at the inn with Baili Hui.

Cultivators who could stay here either had considerable wealth or had a background, making it easier to gather information.

Upon arriving in his room, Qin Ming instructed Baili Hui: "Go and inquire about the situation here for me, especially regarding the Demon Ancient Holy Hall."

"Yes! Elder Lii, don’t worry, this is all on me," Baili Hui said as he clung to Qin Ming’s authority, filled with hope for the future and full of motivation.

After giving his instructions, Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, expanding his Divine Thought to scan through the inn.

Yet he discovered the rooms in the inn were set with extremely profound Restrictions, even his Divinity Transformation Perfection Level Divine Thought could not penetrate them.

Though he couldn’t spy, it reassured him greatly, proving that the inn’s claims were not exaggerated.

The boss behind this establishment must be a very powerful cultivator.

Several days later.

Baili Hui, having gathered the intelligence, returned to the inn to report to Qin Ming.

"Elder Lii, this Treasure Harbor Market, located within the Profound Celestial Realm where the Demon Ancient Wasteland and other major regions converge, is not only surrounded by the Netherworld Sect but also other major forces such as the Corpse Yin Sect, Yin Talisman Sect, Hundred Corpses Commerce Association, and Seven Extremes Sword Pavilion, all having Void Refining Great Powers stationed there."

"It is said that the Nether Rift at the deepest part of the Netherworld Abyss is where the interface intersects with the ’Underworld,’ therefore, it’s abundantly rich in resources, attracting these forces to explore for treasures."

"Within the Abyss flows the Nether River carried from the Netherworld, and this crack abyss stretching tens of thousands of miles is a relic formed from the Ancient Immortal Demon Battlefield..."

"Underworld?" Qin Ming fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He had heard Qingyang the Old Demon mention that this interface, like the Ancient Demon Realm and Ancient Demon Realm, was one of the Three Thousand Great Realms, and unexpectedly had a connection with the Spirit Realm.

Baili Hui continued: "Regarding the Demon Ancient Holy Hall, as Elder Lii specifically instructed, I secretly obtained some intelligence through my channels, all of it is here, however, this single piece of information cost me a total of thirty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones..."

Feeling somewhat pained, he respectfully presented a jade scroll.

"The Spirit Stones are not an issue, as long as you can obtain the intelligence, those stones are nothing," Qin Ming said, taking the jade scroll and immediately throwing him a bulging bag.

Baili Hui’s face lit up with joy, thanking profusely.

Qin Ming released his Divine Thought to browse through the jade scroll, the content didn’t deviate much from the intelligence obtained through the Soul-Searching Profound Nine Yin, only it was much more detailed.

The Netherworld Sect had placed defensive forces around the Secret Realm, actually having an Elder of Divinity Transformation Perfection personally guarding, along with two ghost creatures as strong as Late-stage Tier Five, and set up an array above Tier Five to conceal the entrance, showcasing their comprehensive defense, underscoring the significance the Netherworld Sect placed on it.

Evidently, they intended to completely claim it for themselves.

"However, Elder Lii, regarding the Demon Ancient Holy Hall Secret Realm matter, it seems the Profound Celestial Sword Sect also learned of it not too long ago, reportedly having dispatched disciples to investigate this matter at the Netherworld Abyss," Baili Hui remembered and added after happily putting away the Spirit Stones.

Qin Ming asked in confusion: "Wasn’t this Secret Realm jointly discovered by the Netherworld Sect and Netherworld Sect? Could the information have leaked?"

"Not long ago, the breakthrough of the Netherworld Ancestor to the Void Refining Realm caused quite a stir, plus the peculiar appearance of the Nine Dragon Tribulation Seal, it eventually drew the attention of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."
