Facing high-level experts like these, any extra strength offers a greater hope of survival.

Fu Chao and the others sat cross-legged to recover their primordial energy, pondering why Li Yunjing had such rich experience.

While they, the three top talents, seemed like novices compared to Li Yunjing, even though they had been through trials arranged by their sects and clans!

Could their performance really be this poor?

It wasn’t until they recovered their mana that they realized the previous trials were far too weak. At their level, their performance was naturally perfect.

Accompanying Li Yunjing involved countless battles, frequently encountering Tier Three Demon Kings and Golden Core Realm figures. These extreme trials exposed the shortcomings of Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

"Yunjing, you truly have extensive experience!"

Yu Yunyi gazed tenderly at Li Yunjing, her eyes gentle as water, and whispered.

Lv Ruoxi and Fu Chao nodded vigorously from the side.

"Haha! Before joining the sect, I roamed the martial world and engaged in battles at least eighty times, if not a hundred." Li Yunjing explained with a smile. Seeing everyone recovered, he commanded again, "Good, continue attacking!"

"Alright!"

Following Li Yunjing’s directive, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao launched another round of full-force attacks, "Boom boom boom," shaking the illusionary restriction before them.

"Stop! Rest!"

Just as success seemed imminent, Li Yunjing ordered everyone to stop and rest again.

This time, without any doubt, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao understood Li Yunjing’s intentions.

Li Yunjing feared breaking the array might signal their presence to Zhao Yibai.

The four sat at the cave entrance to recover. A quarter-hour later, everyone was revitalized, and Li Yunjing said, "Now, strike gently. The restriction here can’t hold much longer."

"Rest assured! We’ll follow your lead!"

Yu Yunyi and the others, fully convinced of Li Yunjing’s command abilities, expressed their willingness to follow his arrangement.

"Strike!"

After another quarter-hour of consecutive attacks, "Boom boom boom!" the entire cave shook, and the thin defense array approached breaking point.

"Break!"

Judging it nearly done, Li Yunjing shouted, his "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" leading the charge, piercing through the air.

A ripple spread in the void with a "pop."

The array at the cave entrance was finally broken by Li Wutian, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao together!

"Boom!"

A surge of dark energy spread from within the cave—demonic qi escaping from the seal!

"Haha! We’ve finally broken the array. Follow me inside!"

Overjoyed at unlocking the restriction, Li Yunjing first activated his Protective Immortal Light and rushed into the cave.

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao followed closely behind and entered as well.

To Li Yunjing’s surprise, the cave was extremely spacious, resembling an underground city!

The Underworld stretched dozens of miles, the entire city in ruins with countless skeletons scattered like an Asura Hell.

"Rustle rustle..."

Sensing the presence of Li Yunjing and the others, tens of thousands of toxic insects emerged from all directions, crawling towards them.

"I’ll handle this!"

Seeing the scene, Fu Chao stepped forward, showing disdain on his face. His fingers moved quickly, causing thick smoke to spew out from his mouth, nose, and ears.

Next, Fu Chao opened his mouth and spewed fire.

The flames transformed into a fire dragon in midair, roaring and flying towards the toxic insects.

In an instant, countless insects were turned to ashes.

This was the supreme divine technique "Samadhi True Fire." Seeing Fu Chao exhibit such a powerful fire element divine technique changed the expressions of Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Samadhi True Fire," all-consuming, seems determined to burn every toxic insect to ashes.

Even the mindless insects feared the divine fire, fleeing in all directions.

"Samadhi True Fire" is an unrivaled great divine technique for fire cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Few techniques in the Immortal Cultivation Realm can counter "Samadhi True Fire."

Judging from Fu Chao’s skillful use of "Samadhi True Fire," he must have worked hard after acquiring this technique from Shen Tuhuo.

Seeing "Samadhi True Fire" in action, even Li Yunjing felt a tinge of envy.

Except for fire cultivators, other cultivators can’t use "Samadhi True Fire" until the Golden Core Realm.

However, Li Yunjing was an exception.

With his top-grade Five Elements Spirit Root, he could cultivate all five element techniques and utilize "Samadhi True Fire" once he learned the method.

Moreover, being one of the Five Spiritual Fires, in Li Yunjing’s hands due to the cycle of the Five Elements, "Samadhi True Fire’s" all-consuming power could reach the limit, far surpassing Fu Chao’s level.

...

At this moment, Zhao Yibai rested at an inn corner in the city, recovering from injuries.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards Xu Mansion, where the demonic qi immediately caught his attention.

As a Golden Core Realm figure, he controlled the entire city, easily sensing such intense demonic qi fluctuation.

"Demonic qi?"

Zhao Yibai paused, muttering to himself, "Could it be the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ brats? They don’t seem to practice demon skills. What’s this?"

"Are other demon cultivators present in the city?"

"Or did some demon treasure appear?"

Unable to sit still at this thought, Zhao Yibai stood up, blurred into motion, and silently headed towards Xu Mansion.

Meanwhile, Fu Chao finally cleared all the toxic insects, and Li Yunjing immediately set up arrays at the entrance, deploying his "Profound Ice Infinite Array" and "Little Five Elements Array" to block the door.

Over the days at the border, Li Yunjing upgraded these arrays to top-tier, comparable to Tier Two in power.

Of course, on their own these arrays couldn’t stop Zhao Yibai, but Li Yunjing had also hidden "Shenxiao Thunder Bombs" within these arrays.

If Zhao Yibai broke the arrays and triggered the killer artifacts to explode, he’d certainly be in a mess, giving Li Yunjing and the others a chance to find an escape route.

Seeing Li Yunjing’s actions, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao admired him deeply. Li Yunjing had taken some killer artifacts from them and hidden them in the arrays. Who could foresee this?

"Quick! Search for the demon artifact!"

Disregarding other concerns, Li Yunjing moved and began searching the ruined city.

With the restriction broken, the pervasive demonic qi had largely dispersed.

"Where could that thing be hidden? We won’t have to turn the whole ruin upside down to find it, will we?"

After some searching, Fu Chao urgently asked.

"Who knows! Just hurry and search! We don’t have much time!"

Li Yunjing responded anxiously, "Stay alert. Once the array breaks, whether we find it or not, gather near me!"

Li Yunjing hadn’t even needed to think to know Zhao Yibai would notice the anomaly and might already be at Xu Mansion.
