Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Chen Fan quickly figured out the reason.

At that time, the two sixth-grade formations self-destructed, and the Fire Source True Body forcibly burned its own essence, unleashing a spiritual pressure at the Void Refinement level. In the end, it even caused the phantom of the mysterious immortal and the nine sealing chains to vibrate!

Such a terrifying commotion could not possibly escape the notice of these half-step Void Refinement old monsters, whose senses were extremely sharp!

"These four old monsters must have been attracted by the aura of immortal power and the fluctuations of the spiritual treasure."

Lost in thought, Chen Fan coldly stared at the four people outside the barrier.

At this moment, the four old monsters were standing outside the barrier, their brows furrowed as they stared at the raging spatial turbulence before them.

"Old Ghost Xuan Gu, are you sure that terrifying fluctuation two months ago came from inside this barrier?" The Thousand Poisons Old Woman slammed her cane heavily on the ground, her voice as piercing as an owl's, "I was tens of thousands of miles away in the 'Poison Dragon Swamp' at the time, and I felt that soul-shaking aura! That was definitely the birth of a supreme treasure that surpassed even the Nascent Soul stage, and even the half-step Void Refinement stage!"

"Hehehe... Thousand Poison Granny, if you don't believe me, you can turn back yourself." The Mysterious Bone Master chuckled sinisterly, ghostly flames flickering in his eyes. "I was hunting nearby that day, and the moment that oppressive force erupted, I couldn't even stand! There's no mistake, there must be a world-shaking ancient ruin hidden within this barrier! Perhaps, it's the exit from this hellish place!"

"Whether it's exported or not, I don't care. I only know that there's an extremely strong fluctuation of physical blood energy within!" The Armored Corpse King spoke in a deep, rumbling voice, like two pieces of raw iron rubbing together. "If I could absorb that blood energy, I would definitely break through my shackles and instantly reach the Void Refinement stage!"

"Fellow Daoists, please calm down."

The masked scholar shook the folding fan in his hand, and a strange smile appeared on his bronze mask. "Whether it's a ruin or a treasure, the most troublesome thing right now is how we get in."

He pointed with his folding fan at the silvery-white spatial turbulence in front of him, "This barrier was naturally formed by the laws of heaven and earth. The spatial turbulence within is extremely sharp; even if the four of us join forces, we absolutely cannot break through it with brute force. If we try to force our way through, we'll probably be shredded to dust."

Upon hearing this, the other three old monsters fell silent.

They had been trapped in this underground space for countless years, and were well aware of the terror of this barrier.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Venerable Xuan Gu sneered. "Are we just going to stand here and watch? I know that this barrier weakens for a very short period every three hundred years. But the next weakening won't come for another hundred years!"

"Wait a hundred years? By then, it'll be too late!" the Thousand Poisons Old Woman said through gritted teeth.

"Actually, it's not like there's no way at all."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the masked scholar's eyes as he slowly said, "I have observed this carefully just now. Although this barrier is violent, the spatial fragments within it seem to operate according to some extremely hidden rules. If any of us understands profound spatial concepts, perhaps we can find a safe gap."

"Spatial conception? You think it's something as common as cabbage?" the Armored Corpse King said coldly. "Of the four of us, who understands that stuff?"

The four were once again at an impasse, and could only pace back and forth outside the barrier helplessly, their eyes filled with resentment and greed.

Inside the golden bowl, Chen Fan took in everything.

As Chen Fan watched these four half-step Void Refinement old monsters frantically pacing around because of the barrier, an extremely audacious and insane plan suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning!

"They want to go in?"

A cold, piercing smile slowly curved the corners of Chen Fan's lips.

He turned his head and looked behind the golden bowl at the dark red altar hidden deep in the dark ruins.

There, a heavily injured old monster in the Void Refinement stage was desperately healing himself.

Before them stood four ferocious beasts, blinded by greed and at the peak of their combat power, who were at the half-step Void Refinement stage.

If these two sides were to meet...

"Shifting the blame eastward, using someone else to do the dirty work!"

A dazzling light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

He knew the nature of these old monsters all too well.

The Fire Source True Body, in order to heal its wounds, would never allow anyone to approach the altar; and these four half-step Void Refinement cultivators, in order to seize the so-called "treasure" and "exit," would absolutely not back down.

Once they meet, it will be a fight to the death!

A severely injured and dying old monster in the Void Refinement stage, suppressed by a seal, faces off against four half-step Void Refinement experts in their prime, each with ruthless methods.

This is absolutely an earth-shattering dog-eat-dog battle!

Chen Fan, on the other hand, only needs to quietly hide in the golden bowl during this process to reap the benefits!

Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Fire Source itself, this major threat, and even gain tremendous benefits from these four old monsters!

"This is a godsend!"

Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

This plan, though insane, is highly feasible. The only challenge is how to get these four old monsters safely across the spatial barrier without revealing their presence!

"The state of mind of stillness..."

Chen Fan slowly placed his left hand on the hilt of the eleventh sword at his waist.

He closed his eyes, recalling how he had found the safe path amidst the spatial turbulence two months ago.

That path is actually pieced together from countless spatial nodes that change instantaneously.

For these four old monsters who didn't understand spatial concepts, the changes at those nodes were too fast for them to catch, let alone step onto.

But what if someone could help them fix those nodes?

"As long as I use the Freeze Technique to freeze those rampaging spatial fragments even for half a breath at the crucial moment, given the reaction speed of these four half-step Void Refinement old monsters, they will definitely be able to seize the opportunity and walk in step by step!"

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated.

It's done!

Fortune favors the bold!

He immediately manipulated the golden bowl, the size of a mustard seed, and silently approached the innermost edge of the spatial barrier.

Meanwhile, the four old monsters outside the barrier were still arguing about how to get in.

"Fine, fine! If I really can't get in, I'll go back!" Master Xuangu waved his hand impatiently.

Just as he was about to turn around...

"Buzz!"

A very faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from inside the barrier!

This fluctuation had no destructive power, but it carried a profound sense of "stillness".

The first thing to be hit was a silver-white spatial turbulence that was originally spinning wildly in front of Master Xuan Gu, which was powerful enough to kill a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

As this wave swept over, the turbulent current seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, suddenly freezing in mid-air!

Immediately afterwards, a vacuum gap appeared in the middle of the turbulence, just wide enough for one person to pass through!
