One More Person

"Go deep into the Heavenly Cave? Leave that to me."

Lin Dong nodded slightly. He suddenly remembered the mysterious being hidden in the deepest part of the Heavenly Cave. This time, he should have a chance to meet it.

"Alright, I'm entrusting my father's safety to you. When will you set off?"

The Little Marten leaned forward and asked.

"Now!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Dong conjured up a massive Silver Space Vortex that enveloped the two of them, leaving only two steaming cups of fragrant tea in the room.

The Heavenly Cave, a crucial retreat for many powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe, is located deep within a secluded mountain range in the heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Its enormous entrance is sealed by a black light array radiating overwhelming Origin Energy.

Even worse, five old monsters who had reached the top of the Samsara Stage were lurking in the nearby void, scanning their surroundings with their divine senses again and again.

"Lin Dong, be careful in everything you do."

On a towering peak, two figures appeared and disappeared.

"Don't worry, I will bring your uncle back safely soon."

Lin Dong hurriedly left a sentence, then activated the Space Ancestral Symbol and silently fled towards the Heavenly Cave. Even the five Old Undying responsible for guarding the Heavenly Cave did not notice anything unusual.

"Is this the Heavenly Cave?"

In the dark and dimly lit passageway, a tall and slender figure quietly emerged.

On both sides of the spacious passageway are hollowed-out caves, each about ten feet apart. Inside each cave, there are figures of different appearances sitting cross-legged. The entrances of the caves are covered by transparent Light Barrier, which can only be opened from the inside.

The vast Origin Energy fluctuations, like the ocean, were enough to prove that everyone who was in seclusion here had at least reached the Samsara Stage Realm. However, their current situation did not seem to be very good, and their expressions were all subtly changing, changing abnormally.

"Kid, we think we're in trouble."

Three beams of light flew out of Lin Dong's body one after another, heading towards the nearest stone cave on the left, each looking into the cave with a different expression.

Inside the Light Barrier, on the stone wall behind the gray-robed old man, an Eight-Cornered Demonic Flower with a dark hue was growing tenaciously, constantly releasing waves of fragrance.

"The Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower is a supreme demonic flower cultivated by the Demonic Tribe using the blood of the Demon King. Once a Tianxuan Beings ingests its fragrance, it will be permanently trapped in an illusion until it dies from the exhaustion of its Mental Energy."

"In ancient times, there was Yi Mo Demon King on the side of the Otherworldly Demons, known as the Illusion Demon King. He was a powerful being who had undergone Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation. He fed on the Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower. With every move he made, he could trap countless powerful beings in illusions, which terrified our powerful beings. In the end, he was killed by the Ice Master."

"This is indeed the work of the Demon Prison. I never expected that those beasts would extend their reach into the Demon Domain's Overlord Clan, where there are countless experts. Where in the world is there any safe place?"

The Great Desolation Stele, filled with hatred for demons, spoke fiercely.

"But isn't it also an opportunity? The Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower can pull living beings into an illusion because it can interfere with the Mental Energy of living beings. This kind of influence has both good and bad effects. We should only make use of its good side."

Lin Dong said calmly.

"You mean..."

The Great Desolation Stele, still lost in its sentimental verses, hadn't yet reacted.

"Yan, I will collect all the Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower here later. I would also appreciate it if you could remove their demonic nature and turn them into pure medicinal liquid for me. I need to use it to break through to the Great Symbol Sect realm."

Lin Dong turned his head to look at the rocky path.

"Understood, leave it to me."

Yan nodded slightly; it was an expert in purification and refining.

"Tsk, Yan, the Great Desolation Stele, I finally understand why you two chose him. It was clearly the Demon General extended their claws to the Demon Domain's Overlord Clan, but in Lin Dong's case, it became the Yi Mo providing him with cultivation resources."

The Infant-like Profound Heaven Hall, marveled.

"That's right. Back in the day, my Great Desolation Stele selected him from among hundreds of thousands of the Dao Sect disciples at a glance. Don't you think my judgment is excellent...?"

Upon hearing this Great Desolation Stele puffed out its chest and praised with pride.

"What's the use of keeping you all? In the end, I, your master, still have to do everything myself."

Looking at the Spirits of the Three Great Divine Objects who had fallen into a chaotic chatter mode, Lin Dong shook his head helplessly. With a flash, he passed through the Origin Energy Light Barrier at the cave entrance without any hindrance and appeared beside the gray-robed old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"The first Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower".

With a thought, Lin Dong immediately sent the Space Ancestral Symbol to his right arm, transforming it into a flowing, silvery- Hand of the Ancestral Symbol. He then grabbed the Eight-Cornered Demonic Flower on the stone wall and carefully placed it into a specially made jade box.

"Yan, stop playing around and help me expel the floral scent from the old man's body."

After finishing all this, Lin Dong then transmitted his voice to the outside world.

"Here I am, let me finish this sentence."

After a long while, Yan's unhurried voice finally came from outside.

"Who the hell is the master here?!"

Lin Dong's eye twitched violently.

His heart was completely unmoved; he even had a fleeting urge to slap Yan to death.

Why can they play freely outside while he has to work hard?

"I have completely purified the fragrance of the Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower within his body, but it is unknown when he will wake up. It could be as short as seven or eight days or as long as a month, depending on his individual physique and cultivation level."

Five minutes later, Yan withdrew his hand after driving away the fragrance of the flowers.

"It's alright, let's head to the next cave."

Eager to obtain the flower, Lin Dong quickly led the Spirits of the Three Great Divine Objects to the next cave to repeat the process.

In the subsequent thirty or so caves, Lin Dong discovered that the protective shields of four or five caves were stronger, and the number of Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower growing on the mountain walls had increased from one to three, four, and even six.

Lin Dong knew that these were probably the true foundation and reliance of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe, which had stood since ancient times. They were all old monsters who had entered the Reincarnation Stage.

When he arrived at the last stone cave at the end of the mountain, the blood-red Life Feather that Little Marten had given Lin Dong suddenly moved.

In the center of the cave, a tall figure dressed in a loose black robe with long, dark golden hair draped over his shoulders sat quietly, exuding an indescribable air of dominance.

Gu Gan, the Patriarch the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe!

Okay, actually, the Little Marten shouldn't be called Lin Diao; it should be called Gu Diao.

Well, as more and more people called him that, it gradually became Lin Diao, and Little Marten had no choice but to submit to Lin Dong and the others. It's a really sad story.

"This must be the current Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe. Let's get started."

Lin Dong grasped the constantly pulsating crimson feather in his hand and stepped into the cave. He was responsible for collecting the three Eternal Illusion Demonic Flower on the back wall, while Yan was responsible for purifying the fragrance of the flowers within his body. The division of labor was very clear.

In just over ten minutes, the one person and the three spirits emerged from the protective shield again.

"Now we just have to wait for Patriarch Gu Gan to slowly wake up from the illusion."

At the cave entrance, Lin Dong smiled as he looked at the Dark Gold Figure whose expression was gradually softening.

"There shouldn't be anyone else inside the Heavenly Cave, right? Time to wrap up~"

The light and shadow formed by the rock stretched lazily.

"No, there should be one more."

At this moment, an unusually mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Lin Dong's face.
