Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

The guide also smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that this mission not only allowed them to obtain the precious Netherworld Spirit Fruit, but also elevated their friendship and trust.

"Okay, let's get out of here quickly." The guide reminded, "The extremely dark place is full of dangers, we should not stay here for long."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded upon hearing this.

They knew that what the guide said made sense, so they quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave this gloomy and terrifying valley.

However, just as they were about to leave, a sudden vibration made them stop.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang's face changed and he looked around vigilantly.

"Oh no! It looks like an earthquake!" The guide also looked nervous.

Luo Chen quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the vibration.

However, at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the valley.

"It's the Nether Beast King!" the guide shouted in horror, "How could it suddenly wake up?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt their hearts tighten when they heard this.

They knew that the Netherworld Beast King was the strongest monster in the extremely dark land, and his strength was unfathomable.

If it really wakes up, then the three of them will probably die.

"Hurry! We must leave here as soon as possible!" Luo Chen shouted.

However, at this moment, a strong tremor came again, and the whole valley seemed to be shaking.

Cracks began to appear on the ground beneath their feet, and streams of black gas gushed out from the cracks.

"Oh no! The Nether Beast King is coming out!" the guide shouted in horror.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also realized this.

They knew it was too late to escape.

The only way out is to fight to the death and fight for a chance of survival.

So they quickly adjusted their status and prepared for this life-and-death battle.

However, what happened next seemed to be somewhat beyond their expectations.

The Netherworld Beast King did not rush towards them frantically.

Instead, he ran wildly in another direction.

"What's going on?"

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

The actions of the Nether Beast King were completely beyond their expectations. According to common sense, it should have angrily attacked all intruders if its sleep was disturbed, instead of doing it like it was doing now, as if something more urgent was calling for it.

"Could it be... that it has sensed some more powerful threat?" Luo Chen frowned, trying to find the answer from the strange vision before him.

Qingshuang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either: "Anyway, this may be an opportunity for us. Let's get out of here quickly while it leaves."

The guide also agreed with this suggestion: "That's right, once the Nether Beast King gets angry, the entire Extreme Yin Land will fall into chaos. We have to leave quickly to avoid being affected."

So the three of them no longer hesitated and quickly evacuated in the direction they came from.

Along the way, they carefully avoided the monsters that were awakened by the vibration, and finally returned to a safe area relying on the marks left behind.

Standing on the edge of the extremely dark place, looking back at the valley shrouded in darkness, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in his heart.

Although this mission was difficult, it also brought them great rewards. Not only did they obtain the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, but their friendship and trust were also sublimated.

However, the mystery of the sudden departure of the Nether Beast King still lingers in their minds.

Luo Chen knew that this mystery might become a new direction for their future exploration.

After returning to the market town, Luo Chen handed the Netherworld Spirit Fruit to the person who issued the task.

The other party was an old man with a haggard face and deep eyes. The moment he saw the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, a hint of surprise and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, it is indeed the Netherworld Spirit Fruit. You did a great job."

The old man nodded slightly, took out an exquisite jade box from his arms, carefully placed the Nether Spirit Fruit in it, and then handed Luo Chen a storage bag, "This is your reward. In addition, I have something else to say to you."

Luo Chen took the storage bag and felt the heavy spirit stones inside, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He knew that this mission not only earned him a generous reward, but also allowed him to witness the horror and mystery of the extremely dark land.

He looked at the old man and asked respectfully, "What advice do you have, senior?"

The old man smiled slightly and looked at Luo Chen with deep eyes: "I admire your strength and courage, so I have another task for you to complete."

"I don't know, do you dare to take it this time?"

When Luo Chen heard this, his heart trembled slightly, but then he felt an inexplicable excitement.

He knew very well that being able to receive the task from this senior was not only a recognition of his ability, but also potentially an important opportunity on his path of cultivation.

He took a deep breath and looked at the old man firmly: "Please tell me, senior. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "This mission is related to the Extreme Yin Land, but it is not about going deep into it again, but about an ancient legend about the Extreme Yin Land."

Luo Chen became even more curious after hearing this. He had never heard of any ancient legends about the extremely dark land, but his intuition told him that this legend might be related to the sudden departure of the Nether Beast King.

He quickly asked: "Senior, please tell me what this legend is?"

The old man smiled slightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier of time and space and return to the distant past: "A long, long time ago, the Extreme Yin Land was not as desolate and terrifying as it is now. It was once a vibrant paradise, nurturing countless lives."

"However, one day, an evil force from another world invaded here, bringing endless darkness and death. In order to protect this land, a powerful monk stepped forward and started a fierce battle with the evil force."

"In the end, the monk sealed the evil power in the deepest part of the Extreme Yin Land at the cost of his own life. But even so, the power continued to erode the land, causing it to gradually become what it is today."

"And that seal would reach its weakest moment every thousand years, which was also when the Nether Beast King was at its most violent. But this time, the sudden departure of the Nether Beast King made me realize that there might be a new force trying to break the seal."

At this point, the old man's expression became extremely solemn: "My mission is to hope that you can go to the depths of the extremely dark land, find the location of the seal, and confirm whether there is really a new force trying to break it."

Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this mission was so important and directly related to the safety of the entire Jiyin Land.

But he did not back down, but instead strengthened his determination.

He looked at the old man and said solemnly: "Senior, I am willing to accept this task. But please tell me, how can I find the location of the seal?"

The old man smiled slightly and took out an ancient jade slip from his arms: "This jade slip records the route and precautions leading to the sealed place. You just need to follow the instructions above." Luo Chen took the jade slip and felt the ancient breath and powerful power fluctuations contained in it.

He knew that this was not just an ordinary jade slip, but the key to completing his mission.

He thanked the old man again, then bid farewell to Qingshuang and the guide and embarked on a journey alone to the depths of the extremely dark land.

Along the way, he relied on the guidance in the jade slip and his own strength to overcome countless dangers and difficulties.

He encountered all kinds of monsters and traps, but he resolved them one by one.

Finally, after several days of arduous journey, he came to a valley shrouded in thick black fog.

He knew that this was the entrance to the sealed land.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the black fog.

As he went deeper, the air around him became more and more oppressive, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in secret.

But he did not retreat, but moved forward more firmly.

Finally, in the pitch-black space, he saw a huge altar.

The altar was engraved with complex runes and patterns, and in the center was a black hole that flickered with faint light.

He knew that was where the seal was.

He approached the altar cautiously, observing the runes and patterns carefully.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force surging out from the black hole, instantly enveloping him.

He was startled and quickly mobilized all his spiritual power to resist.

However, the force was too strong and he could not resist it at all.

Just as Luo Chen was about to be swallowed by that power, the blood in his body suddenly boiled, and a mysterious power surged out of his blood, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the evil power.

This power comes from the dormant blood in his body, a power he has never truly awakened.

As the two forces collided, Luo Chen's body seemed to be torn apart, and the pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

But he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to fight against that force with his firm will and strong perseverance.

At this moment, the blood in his body suddenly burst out with dazzling light, completely suppressing the evil power.

After he regained his mobility, Luo Chen quickly fled from here.

The situation has now developed to the point where it is no longer something a mere monk like him can handle.

The only thing he could do was to tell the old man in the market what he had seen.

Luo Chen's figure was as fast as the wind, shuttling through the valley shrouded in black fog, his heart filled with a sense of urgency and mission.

He knew very well that everything he had just experienced was related to the safety of the entire Jiyin Land, and might even affect wider areas and living beings.

After returning to the market town, Luo Chen went straight to the old man's residence.

The door opened slightly, and he saw the old man with his eyes closed, as if waiting for his return.

Luo Chen did not dare to delay and hurried forward, recounting in detail what he had seen and heard in the depths of the extremely dark place.

After hearing this, the old man's expression became extremely solemn.

He stood up, walked slowly to the window, and stared into the distance, as if he could penetrate the heavy black fog and see into the depths of the extremely dark land.

After a long while, he turned around and said to Luo Chen: "I am deeply gratified by your courage and determination. What you encountered is indeed what we are worried about. The sealed evil power from another world seems to be looking for an opportunity to be reborn."

"Senior, what should we do then?"

Luo Chen asked anxiously.

He knew very well that he could not fight against the powerful evil force by himself.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance. We must gather all forces to deal with it together. But before that, we need more information to confirm the specific situation of that force. Since you can get close to the sealed place, it means that you have a certain opportunity and strength. I hope you can go there again, but this time, you need to be more cautious and try to collect more information."

Hearing this, Luo Chen nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, senior. I will try my best, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to go deep with my own strength. Can you get help from others?"

The old man smiled slightly, took out a token from his sleeve, and handed it to Luo Chen: "This is a token of our sect. You can take this token to the nearby major sects to ask for help. They will understand the pros and cons and give you the necessary help."

Luo Chen took the token and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew that this token not only represented the old man's trust and expectations, but also was an important guarantee for him to complete the task.

In the following days, Luo Chen traveled non-stop between the major sects.

With the old man's token and his own sincerity and determination, he successfully persuaded several major sects to send masters to go with him to the extremely dark place.

There are many monks with profound cultivation and talented people who are proficient in formations and talismans in the team.

Led by Luo Chen, they once again stepped into the valley shrouded in black fog.

This expedition was more difficult and dangerous than the last one.

Not only do they have to face various monsters and traps from the extremely dark land, but they also have to be vigilant against the spying and intrusion of the sealed evil forces from another world.

But with the wisdom and strength of everyone, they finally arrived at the huge altar again.

This time, they made more thorough preparations and set up multiple formations and talismans to prevent any accidents.

Luo Chen stood in front of the altar, took a deep breath, and felt the familiar yet unfamiliar evil power.

He knew that he had to be more cautious and decisive this time.

Following the old man's previous instructions and the plan discussed by everyone, he began to slowly approach the black hole.

As he got closer, the evil force surged again, trying to devour him.

But this time Luo Chen did not choose to fight back but instead quickly activated the formations and talismans that he had arranged in advance.

For a moment, the light was so bright that it enveloped the entire altar.

The evil force became violent and powerless under the suppression of the formation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Chen and everyone else went deep into the black hole.

They discovered that there was a huge space hidden inside the black hole, which was full of distorted and chaotic forces.

And in the deepest part of the space, they saw a huge figure bound by countless chains. That was the source of the sealed evil power from another world! (End of this chapter)
