Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Above the plains, faintly visible are several stretches of the Black Stone Mountain Range extending for tens of thousands of miles, majestic and grand.

At first glance, these Black Stone Mountains seem no different from regular Spirit Veins.

But the Black Stone Mountains are shrouded in a gray mist, forming a natural barrier that isolates them from the outside world, making it almost devoid of human presence.

Qin Ming quietly concealed his presence, knowing that the highest peak of the Black Stone Mountains is where the Demon Ancient Holy Hall stands.

However, that place has been hidden by the people of the Netherworld Sect using a Concealing Array.

Due to the strict guards, Qin Ming did not want to alert the enemy, so he summoned the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

He ordered it to dig a Void Passage leading directly to the outskirts of the Demon Ancient Holy Hall.

After several days.

With the diligent efforts of the Heaven-Devouring Rat, the master-servant pair finally sneaked into the outskirts under the nose of the Divinity Transformation Perfection Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

However, upon arriving at the place, Qin Ming suddenly found the patterns carved on the buildings outside the so-called Demon Ancient Holy Hall somewhat familiar...

...

On the other side.

Inside the inn at Treasure Harbor Market.

"What?! You actually lost track?"

"Two junior brothers have fallen in the Devouring Abyss?"

Sword Venerable Qingwei, Ye Lingxiao, looked incredulous, staring at the severely injured Li Cultivator who had fled back in distress.

Li Cultivator of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect had a pale face, missing an arm and a leg, answered miserably: "Yes, Brother Ye, while we were tailing that kid, we suddenly encountered a legendary Erosion Realm Dragon Viper. Its divine techniques are exceptionally formidable, and the ’Soul-Eroding Yin Thunder’ it released took full advantage of the Nether River’s advantages, making it absolutely unstoppable. Thus, the two junior brothers unfortunately perished... Had it not been for a life-saving item bestowed by my master, I wouldn’t have been lucky enough to escape with my life."

After hearing this, Ye Lingxiao’s expression became extremely unpleasant since he was sent by the Sect as the lead for the investigation at the Netherworld Abyss, naturally responsible for the safety of the Sect’s disciples.

And they haven’t even started the investigation, yet merely tracking a late-stage Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator resulted in two same Sect fellows dying, which is rather unbelievable.

If accountability were pursued upon returning to the Sect, he’d undoubtedly bear the brunt and be hard-pressed to avoid blame.

Yet, facing an Abyssal Disaster Beast, one can only blame their own bad luck.

After pondering for a long time, Ye Lingxiao immediately decided: "Junior Brother Li, you should recuperate at the market for now. However, when the Sect inquires about the two junior brothers’ deaths, you should know what to say, right?"

"Uh... Brother Ye, I know how to respond. That those were decisions made by the two brothers who went out privately, encountering misfortune outside, having nothing to do with you." Li Cultivator felt quite ashamed saying this conscience-betraying remark.

"Well said. Thus, I shall immediately take the remaining juniors and sisters to investigate the Devouring Abyss, and you shall await word of reinforcements here."

Upon finishing his words, Ye Lingxiao’s figure vanished.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the inn, watching Ye Lingyun leave, several cultivators who had disguised themselves as merchants stealthily left Treasure Harbor Market.

After leaving the market, these individuals also did not proceed to the port to board a ferry but all employed their Escape Technique, heading directly towards the interior of the Devouring Abyss.

However, apart from them, several other groups also quietly snuck out of the market...

"Elder Gongsun, it seems the Profound Celestial Sword Sect can no longer sit idle, several disciples appear to have died or been wounded."

"With them paving the way, the Secret Realm of the Demon Ancient Sacred Land will sooner or later fall into our Corpse Yin Sect’s hands."

"Hm... But don’t rejoice too soon."

"Aside from Ye Lingxiao and them, there are also the Seven Extremes Sword Pavilion, the Hundred Corpses Commerce Association, and the Yin Talisman Sect competing secretly."

"Moreover, Ye Lingxiao is not an ordinary person, incomparable to those regular Profound Celestial disciples."
