Qin Feng landed outside a cave at the foot of the mountain, his expression shifting between light and dark.

The faint aura seemed to be emanating from the cave in front of them.

Moreover, he suddenly realized who this aura resembled: Ling Xueyan, the Holy Maiden of the Blue Star Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, one of his maids.

But Ling Xueyan is far away on Earth, how could she possibly be here?

He took a deep breath and started walking into the cave.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he sensed a terrifying restrictive force.

However, this restrictive force can neither defend against nor harm anyone.

It's just a divine sense restriction that can prevent divine sense from probing.

No wonder he didn't discover this cave when he used his divine sense to investigate.

The cave was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Qin Feng could only rely on his senses to move forward.

A moment later, Qin Feng saw a glimmer of light ahead and immediately quickened his pace.

The further he went, the brighter and larger the light became.

"A hidden paradise?"

Qin Feng muttered something to himself, then flashed to the exit of the passage.

Sure enough, it was a hidden paradise.

This is an enormous cavern, its walls shimmering and illuminating the entire cavern.

Qin Feng immediately spotted the source of the aura, who was lying on the ground a dozen meters in front of him.

It was a woman dressed in Blue Star clothing, who was in a coma.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, quickly walked up to the woman and looked down, and it really was Ling Xueyan.

He was completely stunned!

Why would Ling Xueyan, who is far away on Earth, appear here?

Could it be related to the white beam of light from before?

Qin Feng looked around but didn't see any teleportation arrays or anything like that, so it was clear that Ling Xueyan hadn't come here through a teleportation array.

Without thinking too deeply, he immediately squatted down to check Ling Xueyan's injuries.

Ling Xueyan's injuries were extremely serious; her internal organs were severely damaged, and even her primordial spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, she met him; otherwise, Ling Xueyan would have surely died.

However, physical injuries are easy to heal, but the primordial spirit is not so easy to heal.

It would require rare and precious materials like the Awakening Pill or the Yuanling Fruit to cure him, but at present he can only stabilize his primordial spirit to prevent it from collapsing.

Qin Feng healed Ling Xueyan's injuries and stabilized her spirit before carrying her away.

Qin Feng carried Ling Xueyan out of the cave and immediately fled. He sensed that many powerful magical beasts and poisonous beasts were rushing towards them.

Not long after he left, tens of thousands of magical and poisonous beasts arrived near the 10,000-meter-high mountain.

...

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Qin Feng used a communication magic item to contact Zi Yun to ask if she had any Awakening Pills or materials for refining them.

There's also news about rare and precious materials like the Yuanling Fruit?

To his great disappointment, Ziyun provided no useful information whatsoever.

Zi Yun and Hao Yue have summoned Lin Qingyin and the others back to Tianyuan City, where they have re-established the sect under the name of Beiming Immortal Sect.

Currently, over 80% of the Immortal Emperors in the entire Xuantian Immortal Realm have perished during the Blood Sea Journey.

Of the Immortal Emperors who survived by chance and those who did not participate, there were only about two hundred people on the surface.

The Southern Immortal Domain suffered the most severe losses, with all those who participated in the Blood Sea expedition perishing, and fewer than ten people remaining who did not participate.

Therefore, re-establishing their sect in the Southern Immortal Realm is the best choice for Zi Yun and Hao Yue.

With their combined strength, they are capable of sweeping through the current Southern Immortal Domain, making them the undisputed number one sect in the Southern Immortal Domain.

Qin Feng looked at Ling Xueyan, who was sleeping in his arms. It seemed that the only thing he could do at the moment was to send Ling Xueyan back to the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect in Tianyuan City.

He not only had to find the elixir to refine the Awakening Pill, but also had to find a way to get rid of the bloodthirsty aura on his body.

It wasn't very convenient to always have Ling Xueyan by my side.

One month later.

Qin Feng arrived in Tianyuan City, but now the city's control has changed hands and is controlled by the Beiming Immortal Sect.

As soon as he entered the city, Qin Feng saw many people dressed in the attire of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect.

Judging from their attire, these people were all outer disciples of the Beiming Immortal Sect.

The Northern Underworld Immortal Sect occupies the Holy Spirit Mountain Range, the area with the most abundant spiritual energy in Tianyuan City.

Previously, the Holy Spirit Mountain Range belonged to a first-class sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect!

During the journey to the Blood Sea, the Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Sword Sect mobilized en masse, but ultimately all perished in the Blood Sea.

Without a Celestial Emperor overseeing it, the Heavenly Sword Sect naturally no longer has the ability to possess the Holy Spirit Mountain Range.

After Zi Yun and Hao Yue revealed their intention to re-establish the Beiming Immortal Sect, the leader of the Tianjian Sect voluntarily relinquished the Holy Spirit Mountain Range.

Furthermore, it was merged into the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect, retaining the name "Heavenly Sword" and occupying Heavenly Sword Peak.

When Qin Feng arrived at the gate of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect, he was stopped by two Nascent Soul Realm disciples guarding the gate.

One of the round-faced men looked at Qin Feng arrogantly and asked, "What do you want?"

Qin Feng glanced at the round-faced man and frowned. How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the mountain gate be so arrogant?

If he were only at the Golden Core stage, it would be fine; after all, it's normal to be a little arrogant in front of someone of a lower cultivation level.

Although the round-faced man couldn't discern his cultivation level, he didn't conceal his aura, believing the round-faced man couldn't sense his power.

However, Qin Feng did not react. "I am Qin Feng, a direct disciple of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect!"

The round-faced man paused for a moment, then looked at the gray-robed man beside him and asked, "Have you heard of it?"

The gray-robed man pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It seems there's no such person among all the sect's direct disciples!"

Upon hearing this, the round-faced man looked at Qin Feng again and sneered, "You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"

"What audacity!"

"I'm giving you two choices: hand over your storage ring to us, and then get lost!"

"Either I contact my senior uncle in charge immediately and let you know the consequences of impersonating a disciple of the Beiming Immortal Sect."

Qin Feng frowned slightly. How exactly did Zi Yun and Hao Yue handle things?

These two mere Nascent Soul Realm disciples guarding the mountain gate are so arrogant that they dare to extort money from people with higher cultivation levels than them.

Wouldn't those inner disciples and personal disciples be even more arrogant?

"Smack!"

Qin Feng raised his hand and slapped the round-faced man across the face.

"You mere ant, who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant?"

"Did Haoyue and Ziyun give you the courage?"

The round-faced man stared in disbelief. "You...you actually dared..."

"Smack!"

Qin Feng slapped the round-faced man across the face again, coldly saying, "Stop talking nonsense and call for help!"

"I'd like to see if everyone is as arrogant as you!"

The round-faced man was furious, but dared not speak out. He glanced coldly at Qin Feng and immediately took out a sound transmission talisman and sent it out.

The gray-robed man next to him was pale and trembling.

He suddenly felt that Qin Feng was very likely a direct disciple of the Beiming Immortal Sect, otherwise why would he be so arrogant?

"Could it be...you really be a direct disciple?"

Qin Feng glanced at the gray-robed man but didn't reply. He carried Ling Xueyan, who was still unconscious, to a stone platform and sat down.
