Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

This low building was where the Spirit Realm Inspector was discovered by Profound Nine Yin.

Thus, it was also the most important objective of Qin Ming’s current journey. He began to carefully search the house to see if he could find any clues.

However, after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

’It’s probably been looted clean by the Netherworld Sect,’ Qin Ming thought to himself.

However, the Heaven-Devouring Rat sniffed around and discovered something unusual within the building.

After some time, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it pointed at the stone slab on the ground, saying, "Master, there seems to be a hidden compartment here."

Hearing this, Qin Ming became interested, as the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s sense of smell was extremely sharp and rarely wrong.

After saying this, it spat out a patch of black Forbidden Profound Light and scattered it onto the ground.

Suddenly,

an underground passage large enough for a person to pass through was revealed on the ground.

Qin Ming hadn’t expected there to be such a hidden passage here, which even his Divine Thought, on par with Divinity Transformation Perfection, had not detected.

The Netherworld Sect likely couldn’t detect such a hidden passage either.

He immediately had the Heaven-Devouring Rat break the restriction outside.

A short half-day later,

the restriction covering the hidden passage dissipated like foam.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was panting and said, "I didn’t expect it to be a Tier Five High-Grade restriction, it almost killed me."

Qin Ming immediately released his Divine Thought, probing inside.

He discovered that the passage connected to a hidden chamber, which seemed to have signs of someone having lived there.

After confirming that there was no danger inside, Qin Ming entered with the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

The secret chamber wasn’t very large, only slightly more than ten feet across.

Though small, the furnishings inside were complete, clearly showing that the Spirit Realm Inspector had stayed here for quite some time after discovering this place.

Even various bookshelves, stone beds, and stone chairs were carved out.

After some rummaging, Qin Ming finally found some useful information.

It was also his first time learning the identity of the defecting Spirit Realm Inspector.

This person was named ’Master Yuxuan’, originally a Divinity Transformation Perfection Cultivator. He had initially found this place after learning from the Immortal Mansion Treasure that Master Fire God had spent a long time in the Netherworld Abyss.

He intended to find a method to control this treasure, but after lurking here for several decades, he was unable to crack the cyan light barrier outside and had to leave in dismay...

Qin Ming continued searching through everything again but found no other useful information.

However, just then,

inside the Blood Massacre Spiritual Treasure, Qingyang the Old Demon suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed:

"I remember now, the cyan light barrier outside is precisely the Cyan Nether Realm left by that Venerable Cyan Emperor..."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow at his words, "Are you sure, Old Demon?"

"Of course, this type of barrier was once set up by the Venerable Cyan Emperor in the restricted area of the Cyan Origin Sect. No wonder it felt familiar," Qingyang the Old Demon said with great certainty.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat immediately asked, "Does that mean, you have a way to open that cyan light barrier, Old Demon?"

"Hmm... I suppose... yes..." Qingyang the Old Demon hesitated before replying.

"However, after opening this barrier, who knows what dangers might exist in the core area of the Demon Ancient Holy Hall. Whether you decide to enter is up to you, Friend Qin."

Qin Ming considered for a moment; he had the Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman on him, and Lan Bing Fairy could transform into an Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow and escape through the void at any time.

Since the information was related to the Venerable Cyan Emperor, it naturally couldn’t be missed.

His Cyan Emperor Technique was already perfected at the 18th layer, reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage. If he could acquire subsequent cultivation techniques, he might even unleash more powerful Divine Techniques with the Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror.

So after thinking for a moment, Qin Ming decided to go and investigate.

"Since we’re already here and it’s related to the Venerable Cyan Emperor and Master Fire God, we must investigate," he said.

Qingyang the Old Demon greatly appreciated his response, saying, "Friend Qin, you’re usually low-key and cautious, yet decisive at critical moments. No wonder you’ve made it this far."

Following this,

Qin Ming left the hidden chamber, returned to the surface, and arrived at the Black Stone Square.

"Friend Qin, next, follow the formula I taught you, adjust the runes on the light barrier to specific positions, and you can open the Cyan Nether Divine Prohibition," Qingyang the Old Demon said, transmitting a Spell to Qin Ming through his thoughts.

Qin Ming followed suit, making a hand sign at the light barrier and began moving the runes within.

During this process, he was extremely cautious; if he triggered a powerful restriction, even he might not be able to escape unharmed.

After a short while,

with the last rune in place, a humming sound echoed through the cyan light barrier.

In front of where Qin Ming stood, a twisted void portal appeared, clearly a teleportation restriction of some kind.

A smile appeared on his face as he remarked, "I didn’t expect Qingyang the Old Demon’s Secret Technique to be real; it’s the key to unlocking this Secret Realm..."

In that moment, Qin Ming felt a sense of fate guiding him.

Without further hesitation, Qin Ming immediately placed the Heaven-Devouring Rat into the Little Spirit Realm, then stepped through.

After a dizzying sensation,

when Qin Ming reopened his eyes, he found himself transported to the bottom of the Netherworld Abyss, likely a great distance from the surface.

What lay before him was a colossal cavern a thousand feet in size, with signs of being artificially carved to become a vast Artifact Refining Cave Mansion.

Amidst the cavern, a towering furnace over ten feet high was visible, its base connected to the earth vein fire of the Netherworld Nether River, with dark yellow flames continually erupting, emanating a terrifying aura.

Even Qin Ming felt a sense of trepidation approaching.

This was despite his Body Refining Technique having reached the level comparable to late-stage Divinity Transformation, with physical toughness rivaling that of an Ancient Great Demon.

Otherwise, ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivators would not be able to approach this place.

Qin Ming immediately stepped into the core of the Demon Ancient Holy Hall.

Upon entering, he was taken aback by the sight before him.

At the entrance of the Artifact Refining Cave Mansion, there were four vigorous and powerful seal characters inscribed—’Fire God’s Celestial Art.’

Evidently, this was once Master Fire God’s Artifact Refining Land, though for unknown reasons, it was abandoned and left derelict.

The ruin’s outer hall was known as the ’Demon Ancient Holy Hall.’

Cautiously, Qin Ming extended his Divine Thought to explore.

The next moment,

four or five massive Black-winged Yaksha Ghosts, each a hundred feet in size and exuding an aura comparable to early-stage Divinity Transformation, charged at Qin Ming.

Instantly, the Underworld was trembling amid a sky-stirring tempest.

Qin Ming’s eyes narrowed as he summoned Qingyang the Old Demon and Lan Bing Fairy to engage in combat with the powerful Yakshas.

...

Meanwhile,

several streams of light rapidly approached the mountain range on the plain.

The disciples of the Netherworld Sect stationed outside the Demon Ancient Holy Hall were all on edge, and even the Divinity Transformation Perfection Elder was mobilized.

"This is the Netherworld Sect forbidden ground; who goes there?"

The Divinity Transformation Perfection Elder of the Netherworld Sect called out, seeing the visitors seemed unfriendly and untoward trouble.

However, upon clearly seeing their faces, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, internally declaring the situation dire.

Outside the black mountain range, several white-robed cultivators in uniform had arrived, all standing in the void.

The leader among them was Ye Lingxiao of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

Floating in midair, he spoke in an unquestionable tone, "I, Master Qingwei of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, see that your Netherworld Sect discovered such an important Secret Realm and neglected to report it. You must be up to something!"

"Now, I will enter and investigate. If you cooperate, you will be let off lightly; but if you resist, you know the consequences..."

With that said, he casually flicked his hand, releasing a Profound Celestial Sword Talisman that transformed into a great sword’s shadow in the air.

It was undoubtedly the unique Sword Talisman Command of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

The Netherworld Sect Elder was immediately alarmed upon hearing this, not expecting the secret of the realm to leak, drawing the enforcement cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to personally investigate.

At this moment, he dared not go against the Upper Sect’s intentions, and after several changes in expression, deflated like a defeated balloon.

"Haha! Our sect only recently discovered this place and was about to report to the Upper Sect, and here comes the Upper Envoy... Please, come in..."
