Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Deep within the secret realm of immortals.

Outside a valley.

The valley is located in the middle of a large mountain, and because it is surrounded by mist, it can only be found when you get very close.

"Is this the place?" Fen Wuji frowned and asked, looking at the dense, almost invisible fog in front of him.

Cang Jilan nodded beside him:

"That's right, this is the place. Just go through the fog ahead and you'll get here. We were lucky to find this place in the first place."

Fen Wuji looked around:
"Let's go then."

Li Songxuan reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Fen, entering this mist will alert the horde of evil beasts inside. Perhaps we should make some plans first."

Fen Wuji said nonchalantly, "What plan? The two of us will deal with those three evil beasts at the half-step Dao Integration Realm, while the others deal with the other evil beasts."

There were more than fifty cultivators at the Void Refinement stage in the arena. In Fen Wuji's view, with so many Void Refinement cultivators dealing with a group of evil beasts, there was no need for any plan.

Hearing Fen Wuji's straightforward approach, Li Songxuan and Cang Jilan wanted to object, but Fen Wuji had already stepped into the fog.

Left with no other choice, the two of them followed the others inside.

The group quickly entered the foggy area.

As soon as they entered the mist, Fen Wuji looked to the left, and Li Songxuan next to him also looked over at the same time.

Fen Wuji struck out with his palm to the left!

A phantom of a fiery palm instantly slammed into a demonic beast charging from the left.

This evil beast, at the Void Refinement level, was instantly reduced to ashes the moment it touched the Flaming Palm.

Upon seeing this, Cang Jilan felt a chill run down his spine.

Li Songxuan said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist's Fire Dao Seed is probably only one step away from transforming into a Dao Seed."

"It's just a Void Refinement level evil beast, nothing to us," Fen Wuji said, then continued striding forward.

Along the way, the group encountered many more evil beasts, but most of these beasts were at the Void Refinement and Nascent Soul stages, posing no threat to them whatsoever.

In just a quarter of an hour, the group passed through the fog, and their vision became clear.

The first thing that catches the eye is a half-collapsed mountain gate, with the two characters "Zixiao" displayed on the bluestone lintel, although the two characters are so rusted that only the outline remains.

Behind the mountain gate is a suspended jade staircase, many parts of which are broken.

The steps stretched upwards, reaching deep into the clouds.

"The Purple Cloud Immortal Sect? Have you heard of this sect?" Fen Wuji asked the two.

Li Songxuan shook his head: "I have never heard of it. The ancient immortal realm is too far removed from our time, and the various star regions have not collected much information about it."

Cang Jilan, who was standing next to him, said, "Let's go in first. The immortal restriction at the mountain gate is gone, and we can go directly up the steps."

The group then went up the stairs.

As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, they noticed a layer of seven-colored light above their heads.

"This is a forbidden aerial restriction; it won't be triggered as long as you don't touch it," Cang Jilan reminded him.

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed and continued walking up the stairs.

As they walked, several cultivators from the Fire Brahma Star Domain were drawn to the jade steps beneath their feet.

Because these steps were all made of jade.

Although many of the jade stones have lost their spiritual essence, some are still intact.

Cang Jilan said from the side:

"I advise you all not to make any rash moves. Although the immortal barrier at the entrance is gone, these buildings are still shrouded in it."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately put away their strange thoughts and obediently continued forward.

After walking up the stairs for a short while, the group soon arrived at a square.

The square here is filled with stone pillars.

Around the square, a dozen or so golden palaces floated in the air.

Half of these golden palaces are already in ruins, and many of the palace ruins are still floating in the air.

"It really is the ruins of a sect!"

"Could these grand halls be the legendary celestial palaces?"

"."

Many people had a look of fervor on their faces.

But the crowd's fervor didn't last long before the roars of evil beasts echoed from the side. It turned out that countless evil beasts had appeared around the square at some unknown time.

There were over a thousand of these evil beasts.

There are over a hundred evil beasts at the Refinement Void level, and the three leading evil beasts are extremely large, having reached the Half-Step Dao Integration level.

Cang Jilan immediately looked at Fen Wuji and Li Songxuan:

"Seniors, I'd like to entrust those three evil beasts to you."

Neither Fen Wuji nor Li Songxuan spoke; the two of them charged directly toward the three half-step Dao Integration cultivators.

Li Songxuan's eyes shone with brilliant golden light, and the power of the Golden Dao appeared on his body.

Meanwhile, Fen Wuji was surrounded by the auras of both wind and fire, and he single-handedly confronted two of the evil beasts at the half-step Dao Integration level.

Upon seeing the two charging towards them, the three-headed evil beast roared and charged forward as well.

The two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

Cang Jilan shouted to the group of Void Refinement cultivators behind him, "Fellow Daoists, please do not hold back, quickly deal with the evil beasts here!"

With a flick of his right hand, Cang Jilan conjured a trident in his palm and charged forward toward the distant evil beast.

Seeing this, the other cultivators at the Void Refinement stage also unleashed their supernatural powers and treasures, and began to fight against the horde of evil beasts.

A major battle soon broke out in the square.

Such a large number of Void Refinement cultivators would cause immense damage in the outside world, but the buildings here are protected by immortal restrictions.

Even when the cultivators at the Void Refinement stage fought fiercely, they did not cause any damage to the surrounding buildings.

Although the number of evil beasts far exceeded that of the cultivators present, the cultivators present were all as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Everyone gave their all without reservation.

The magnificent palaces here have given everyone a great deal of motivation.

The battle lasted for a full half hour before it came to an end.

It wasn't supposed to be this fast, but Fen Wuji was the first to kill the two evil beasts at the half-step Dao Integration level.

Combining the Fire Path Seed with the Wind Path Seed has a strong restraining effect on evil beasts.

The regenerative abilities of the evil beasts are of little use in the face of terrifying flames.

The square was now littered with the severed limbs of cultivators.

There were fifty Void Refinement cultivators when they arrived, but now there are less than thirty left.

Moreover, most of them were also injured.

The deaths of so many Void Refinement cultivators would be enough to cause an earthquake across the entire star field if this were to happen outside.

However, it is quite common in this celestial realm.

Every ten thousand years, when the Immortal Realm opens, countless cultivators perish there.

Although many died, those who survived all had excited expressions on their faces.

The evil beasts have all been cleared out, which means they can now freely explore this immortal sect ruin.

Cang Jilan walked up to Fen Wuji and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Senior's supernatural abilities are astonishing, I admire you!" Li Songxuan, standing beside him, also looked at Fen Wuji with a wary gaze.

If Fen Wuji hadn't been the first to kill two evil beasts at the half-step Dao Integration level, their casualties would probably have been even greater.

Ignoring Cang Jilan's flattery, Fen Wuji instead looked towards the main hall and asked:

Have you explored these halls before?

Cang Jilan was about to answer when suddenly dozens of figures rushed over from the distant steps.

Upon arriving at the plaza, these people immediately looked towards the floating celestial palaces.

"There really is a celestial palace! Hahaha, I'm rich!"

"I thought the news was fake."

"This must be the most valuable part of the Immortal Realm!"

Upon seeing the sudden arrival of a group of people, Cang Jilan and the others immediately turned grim.

Because the person who came was none other than a cultivator from the Sea Chariot Clan.

There were four people in the group, all of whom were experts at the half-step Dao Integration level. They were the remaining three elders of the Sea Fork Clan and Xu Wuji of the Void Spirit Clan.

Behind the four, a steady stream of cultivators were arriving, almost all of them being Void Refinement cultivators.

An elder of the Sea Fork tribe looked at Cang Jilan and said:
"Sixth Prince, shouldn't you explain what's going on here to me?"

The elder who spoke was Cang Kongbo, the third elder of the Haicha tribe.

As one of the three elders of the Sea Chariot Clan, Cang Kongbo was in charge of coordinating the Sea Chariot Clan's operations within the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

“Third Uncle, what’s there to explain? It’s obvious that he wanted to keep the ruins for himself after discovering them, and even cooperated with outsiders. He has completely forgotten the clan rules.”

The speaker was none other than Cang Yuelan.

Besides her, several holy sons of the Sea Fork Clan also came.

Basically, all the Sea Chaser Clan's personnel in the Immortal Realm have come this time.

Faced with everyone's questions, Cang Jilan's originally unpleasant expression quickly turned into a smile.

"Third Uncle, I only just discovered this place myself. I forgot to inform you beforehand. Now that you're all here, let's explore this place together."

Cang Jilan reacted quickly. Now that the Haicha tribe had arrived, it was no longer possible for him to monopolize this secret realm.

As for cooperating with Fen Wuji, that can only be put aside.

Cang Jilan was extremely angry at this moment. They had finally managed to clear out all the evil beasts here, only to have someone else steal their fruits.

He had already guessed that someone among his men must have secretly tipped off Cang Kongbo.

Cang Kongbo didn't dwell on Cang Jilan's matter; instead, he turned his gaze to Fen Wuji:
"Fen Wuji, shouldn't you give us, the Sea Chariot Clan, an explanation?"

Fen Wuji's expression did not change at all, and he was not even angry about Cang Jilan's betrayal.

"Explain? What explanation do you want from me?"

A half-step Dao Integration expert from the Sea Chaser Clan standing beside Cang Kongbo spoke coldly:
"Naturally, it's about the deaths of Hailong and Cang Qingbo. Don't tell me you didn't know. You were the one who went into the cave with them. They died, but you came out alive!"

The deaths of the two elders of the Sea Fork tribe have been the subject of investigation by the tribe for some time.

When Hai Ji reported to them, she only said that Hai Long and his companion had entered the hidden cave with Fen Wuji, and then Hai Long and his companion disappeared.

Cang Qingbo and the others naturally believed what Hai Ji and the others said.

So they have been searching for Fen Wuji all this time.

Fen Wuji narrowed his eyes: "I don't understand what you're saying."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Sea Chariot Clan glared angrily at Fen Wuji.

"Hmph, since you won't talk, then I'll just have to take you down first!"

The three elders of the Sea Fork Clan locked onto Fen Wuji with their divine senses, as did Xu Wuji and Li Songxuan beside them.

With five half-step Dao Integration Realm experts, even with Fen Wuji's astonishing strength, he was no match for the Sea Fork Clan's lineup.

Fen Wuji turned his gaze to Li Songxuan:
"You're such a fickle person!"

Li Songxuan's expression remained unchanged:
"Circumstances dictate our actions; our cooperation has to end here."

Li Songxuan was also helpless. With the arrival of the Haicha Clan, his cooperation with Fen Wuji had to be terminated, which also meant that he wouldn't be able to get the lion's share of the good stuff in this Immortal Sect ruins.

Unless he chooses to fight the Sea Chariot Clan alongside Fen Wuji now, but that's clearly impossible.

Just as both sides were about to take action.

Another group of people arrived on the steps, but this time there were only about twenty people.

However, when the Sea Fork tribe saw the newcomers, their expressions changed drastically.

Because three of the people who came were also experts at the half-step Dao Integration level.

These three were none other than half-step Dao Integration level experts from the Star Domain Alliance.

They are Chi Yangzi, Fen Wuji's junior brother, Yuan Qingzi from the Qian Yuan Star Region, and Zhao Kong from the Xuan Qiong Star Region.

"It's really lively here. It seems we arrived just in time."

Yuan Qingzi laughed heartily, then led his men directly to Fen Wuji.

Now, the number of people on both sides is roughly equal.

Yuan Qingzi transmitted his voice to Fen Wuji:
"Fellow Daoist Fen, didn't we agree to meet? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

Yuan Qingzi's words clearly carried a hint of complaint.

They had agreed to stick together before entering the Immortal Realm.

But Fen Wuji did not come to join them.

If their people hadn't discovered the Sea Fork Clan's collective action, they probably wouldn't have known that Fen Wuji was also here.

Fen Wuji smiled and said, "Some things have happened, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yuan."

Fen Wuji never expected that Yuan Qingzi and his junior brother would appear.

He wasn't worried at all about the Sea Fork Clan attacking him, because he had already activated the power of the stars within his body to notify Chen Feng.

In his view, once Chen Feng arrived, everyone present was nothing but dirt chickens and clay dogs.

"We can talk about these things later. Right now, let's deal with the Sea Fork Clan first," Chi Yangzi reminded him, but when he looked at Fen Wuji, there was a strange look in his eyes.

As Fen Wuji's junior brother, Chi Yangzi clearly sensed that something was wrong with Fen Wuji.

Unbeknownst to the crowd in the square, while they were confronting each other, someone had already entered the celestial palace above their heads.

Chen Feng was standing in the main hall of a celestial palace.

Before him lay a dense array of celestial barriers, which almost completely enveloped the entire hall, leaving only his position relatively safe.

He had just arrived, and Chen Feng paid no attention to the standoff between the two groups outside.

For Chen Feng, who possesses teleportation abilities, entering this immortal palace shrouded in immortal restrictions was not a difficult task.

Chen Feng was about to continue teleporting deeper into the Immortal Palace when, just then, the jade pendant hanging at his waist suddenly lit up.

"Hmm?" Chen Feng immediately took the jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant was given to him by the eyeball, which told him that it could guide him to a cave.

However, after entering the Immortal Realm, the jade pendant did not respond, so he stopped paying attention to it.

Now that they've arrived at the sect's ruins, the jade pendant has started to react.

"Could the immortal's legacy be located here?" Chen Feng examined the jade pendant carefully.

Aside from emitting light, the jade pendant showed no other changes.

Just as Chen Feng was wondering, a female voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Come, come." (End of this chapter)
