After parting ways with the bearded man, Su Mu leaped into the air and sped for several hours. Soon after, he saw a colossal mountain, thousands of feet high, standing tall between heaven and earth in front of him.

This mountain is majestic and precipitous, entirely formed from massive rocks of blue and black hues, with steep slopes that pierce the clouds.

Even more strangely, the entire mountain split in two from the very center, with the crack running from top to bottom, reaching the base of the mountain and forming a huge, naturally formed canyon.

On the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon, red and blue lights flickered and swirled, enveloping the left and right halves of the mountain respectively, creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.

Su Mu slowly descended his escape light, landing at the entrance of the Grand Canyon. More than thirty cultivators had already gathered there, most of them meditating and regulating their breathing.

Compared to the bustling scene at the first checkpoint, the number of people here has decreased by more than half. It is clear that many cultivators chose to turn back after collecting the spiritual herbs, unwilling to venture any further into the danger.

He glanced around casually and spotted Han Li in the crowd.

At this moment, Han Li was sandwiched between the Extreme Yin Old Monster and Qingyi Hermit. The Extreme Yin Old Monster looked at Han Li with a kind and benevolent expression. Su Mu saw this and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

At the edge of the crowd, Yuan Yao, dressed in a black robe, was eagerly waiting, her beautiful eyes frequently glancing towards the entrance of the canyon. Whenever a cultivator arrived, she would hurriedly look up, her expression full of anxiety.

However, Su Mu had already disguised himself and transformed into a pale-faced scholar. When Yuan Yao saw that the person who came was not the one she was waiting for, a hint of disappointment appeared on her pretty face.

Su Mu slowly walked to Yuan Yao's side, and under her wary gaze, he quietly transmitted his voice through divine sense: "Miss Yuan, it is me. I, Xiao, have deliberately changed my appearance and am currently using the alias Tang San. Please do not reveal any flaws."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yuan Yao's eyes, but she quickly lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions and responded with divine sense: "Brother Xiao? Your disguise technique is truly amazing. Yuan Yao couldn't detect anything amiss at all. I thought Brother Xiao had already left."

Su Mu chuckled lightly, naturally knowing that the woman was still wary.

"I made an appointment with you, young lady, to retrieve the Soul-Nourishing Wood and use the Jade Soul Pill to heal your senior sister. How could I possibly break my promise?"

Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, looked Su Mu up and down with her beautiful eyes, then smiled slightly and moved closer to Su Mu, adopting an intimate and affectionate posture, her voice soft and slightly reproachful.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, why did it take you so long to arrive? We've been waiting for you for ages."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and gave him a resentful look, her tone full of coquettishness.

Su Mu thought to himself that this woman's acting skills were indeed remarkable, but he smiled indulgently on his face, stretched out his arm, and naturally put his arm around her slender waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

"It was my fault for keeping you waiting, young lady. I will make it up to you in the future."

He felt the delicate body in his arms stiffen slightly, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Then, a soft, slightly clenched voice entered his ears: "Then this little lady will truly remember it."

Su Mu chuckled softly, pulled Yuan Yao to a secluded spot, his smile fading and his expression becoming serious.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Teleportation within the Ice and Fire Path is random, and the dangers this time will definitely be even greater. Be extremely careful once you enter. I will leave a mark on you, and once I sense your location, I will find you and reunite with you."

Yuan Yao quickly broke free from his embrace, her cheeks slightly flushed, and glared at Su Mu with a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes before letting out a soft snort.

"Fellow Daoist, please proceed with your actions; this humble woman will cooperate."

A flash of light appeared in Su Mu's palm, and a tiny, crimson fire python, about an inch long, coiled out and landed obediently in Yuan Yao's hand.

"This is a secondary flame formed from my natal flame. Keep it close to your body, and you will be able to face most of the dangers on the lava path without fear. Moreover, with this flame, I can sense your location at any time."

Yuan Yao was slightly taken aback. Looking at the small and exquisite fire python in her hand, she felt a surge of pure and vast fire-attribute spiritual power rushing towards her, and she couldn't help but be startled.

Before she could speak, Su Mu took out three more slender, white crystal bottles and placed them all in her palm.

"This is a special elixir I concocted. After taking it, it can quickly restore magical power and is extremely useful in times of crisis."

What Su Mu gave her was the premium MP potion he had extracted earlier, which he had never used before.

[Superior MP Potion * 99 (Green)]

[Note: From the world of Undead Overlord, consuming this will instantly restore 60% of your mana.]

Yuan Yao looked at the two precious treasures in her hands, remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, gripped the items tightly in her hands, and when she looked up again, a captivating smile appeared on her face.

"The debt of gratitude I owe you, fellow Daoist, is growing ever heavier. I truly do not know how I will ever be able to repay it."

Su Mu shook his head, looking at her calmly.

"I admire your kindness and loyalty, young lady. This is just a small favor for me, please don't worry about it."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will certainly not disappoint you."

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming slightly romantic, a piercing howl suddenly came from beyond the sky. The howl was like a raging storm, one wave higher than the next, which shocked all the cultivators present, causing their expressions to change drastically and revealing expressions of horror.

Su Mu looked up and saw that the newcomer was indeed the bearded man. At this moment, he had already activated the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art, his body was covered in golden light, and his whole body was covered in golden scale armor. His murderous aura was overwhelming and his power was awe-inspiring. As soon as he appeared, he shocked the entire scene.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu's gaze became slightly strange. He clearly remembered that when he parted ways with this bearded man, the other party had already dispelled his demonic powers. He never expected that he would make such a grand entrance now.

As soon as the bearded man landed, he first gave Su Mu a wink, then strode towards the group of the Extreme Yin Old Monster.

Su Mu understood immediately and whispered a few words of advice to Yuan Yao. Then, under her surprised gaze, he calmly walked up to the old monsters who were Nascent Souls of the Demonic Path.

"Oh dear, I thought I was seeing things, but it really is Fellow Daoist Tang. What? Could it be that you've already dealt with Fellow Daoist Man?"

As soon as Qingyi Jushi saw Su Mu approaching, he immediately stood up, a smile spreading across his face, his gaze shifting back and forth between Su Mu and the bearded man. He had already taken in the brief exchange of glances between the two men.

"Indeed, I have personally witnessed Fellow Daoist Tang's prowess before, and his strength is in no way inferior to ours. Therefore, I specifically invited him to join us. Fellow Daoist, you should have no objections, right?"

Before Su Mu could speak, the barbarian spoke first, while patting the Extreme Yin Old Monster's shoulder.

From the moment Su Mu arrived, the Extreme Yin Old Monster's gaze remained fixed on him, wondering if this Fellow Daoist Tang who had possessed another body and was now cultivating again was actually the Profound Bone Old Demon.

Seeing that the other party dared to stand so openly in front of him, and that there was no trace of the Xuan Yin Technique on his body, he could only forcefully suppress his suspicions and squeeze out an ugly smile.

"Since Fellow Daoist Man has said so, I naturally have no objection. Fellow Daoist Tang, please take a seat."

Han Li, who was standing obediently to the side, took in the whole scene and was greatly surprised.

To my utter surprise, three Nascent Soul stage demons would treat a Core Formation cultivator with such courtesy, addressing him as "fellow Daoist." Could this person, like the Profound Bone Demon, be someone who has possessed another body and begun cultivation again?

Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, he suddenly saw the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Tang and the bearded man turn around together, their gazes falling on him at the same time.

The bearded man frowned and blurted out:

"What's this kid doing here?"
