In the grand scene, majestic mountains, lakes steaming with rosy light, and waterfalls cascading from Suspended Island intertwine, creating a magnificent and beautiful spectacle.

A tiger's roar that shook the mountains and rivers came from afar, reflecting the feelings of the white-clothed woman. Her round, pretty face turned so red that it seemed to bleed!

That mortal actually dared to let her carry out such a message!

For a moment, she really wanted to try to break through the curtain, because she had been bullied so badly by a mere mortal today.

This made her feel that it was even more tragic and humiliating than when this person stabbed her in the buttocks with Black Longsword. To this day, she does not want to recall that dark experience.

The other Demon Immortals showed strange expressions. Some laughed, while others greeted Wang Xuan gently, approaching him with ulterior motives.

The moonlight was like water, and the Azure Sea was calm.

On the Golden Bamboo Boat, the Ferryman turned around, and through the darkness beneath his straw raincoat, a blurry face emerged, silently looking at Wang Xuan.

For hundreds of years, no one has boarded the boat. Today, finally, someone has come, and his actions have left the Ferryman in a daze. What kind of era is this? Are people like this nowadays?

"Senior, I am just a mortal, struggling to survive under the gaze of the Transcendent Immortals. I am pitiful enough. Please let me go." Wang Xuan whispered.

Seeing his low-key, serious, and earnest demeanor, the Ferryman somewhat moved. It was quite an act for a mortal to make a Demon Immortals suffer a loss. Was this a typical case of taking advantage of someone and then running away?

"Now you're scared, but why were you provoking her just now?" the Ferryman asked.

Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit; I was just pushed to the limit. The truth is, the weaker and more powerless a person is, the more they want to shout to bolster their courage.

Wang Xuan's directness and frankness made the Ferryman take a second look at him. Was he telling the truth? Not necessarily!

"It's almost over, the secret path is about to end."

Hearing this response, Wang Xuan felt that he was being perfunctory. He still hadn't experienced what the so-called secret path was like, and he hadn't become stronger at all!

"Could this so-called secret path be a dream? You might tell me the dream path is over in a bit?" he couldn't help but ask.

The Ferryman said calmly, "This is the land of the dead."

Sure enough, there is the word "die" in the key words, which is consistent with what Wang Xuan heard outside.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal had not yet appeared, and the other Demon Immortals had repeatedly tested Wang Xuan, naturally with ulterior motives, putting him in a rather passive position.

He now has the opportunity to avoid the situation and earnestly ask the Ferryman about this secret path, giving him a reason not to communicate with the others in the Inner Scenery Realm.

"The Land of the Dead may be the source of the extraordinary, the starting point of cultivation, the Primordial Land that made all things divine, and the most ancient secret path."

He then added that this was just one person's opinion.

Some believe that there are even more ancient secret paths, where in the earliest times, beings had a shortcut to overcome ordinary humans and common birds and beasts and reach the extraordinary.

Wang Xuan only knew about the secret paths to the inner realm and the Heavenly Medicine, and was completely unaware of what the Ferryman was talking about.

The Ferryman said that when the place was first discovered, almost everything that approached it would die.

But there are always exceptions. After their bodies are impacted by the mysterious energy of the deceased, some humans, birds, and beasts that survive will gradually become extraordinary.

"Radiation?" Wang Xuan was surprised and made this connection. Then he worried that his body might become deformed or develop various malignant diseases.

After understanding the modern terminology, the Ferryman shook his head, saying that this transformation process would make the creature stronger, but it would not cause any diseases.

In those Age of Eating Raw Meat and Drinking Blood, the land was a brutal place where the strong preyed on the weak. Some creatures, because of their desolation, became extremely powerful, transcending their circumstances and rising to a position of great power.

"The death of the land mainly begins with changes to the physical body, causing humans and birds and beasts to be either deified or Demon Transformation."

The Ferryman said that he believed that all creatures became stronger starting with their physical bodies, so he guessed that the Lost Land might be the earliest and most primitive secret path.

Wang Xuan muttered to himself, "I thought that the discovery of the inner landscape put humanity at a special point in time, allowing them to win in the competition with various monsters. It turns out that there were already secret paths like the Lost Lands in earlier times, and various races had masters who were either deified or Demon Transformation because of the Lost Lands."

In his understanding, the deceased is Supernatural Radiation!

This is rather mysterious. How did the land of the dead come about?

The Ferryman shook his head; to this day, few people can explain the origin of the place of death.

It is called the Land of the Dead because occasionally one can see the shadows of some species that have long since Vanished and are no longer found in the world.

Therefore, there is also the saying that "the place of the past" refers to the scenery left behind in the past.

"Is such a strange place the only one of its kind in the world?" Wang Xuan asked.

The Ferryman shook his head and said, "Of course not. It mainly consists of the eight great places of death, each with its own unique scenery and renowned reputation. There are also some less famous places of death."

Most importantly, powerful lost territories will shift and will not remain in one place for long.

"Based on my experience, since someone has successfully come here, this lost land will have to leave this planet within a year or two at most."

Wang Xuan was stunned. The deceased was not fixed in one place, and his whereabouts were unpredictable.

According to his latest understanding, the vanished place is a scene that Vanished; it is mobile and possesses Supernatural Radiation!

"Where does its danger lie?" Wang Xuan wanted to know more.

"Don't you feel it yourself? As soon as you first set foot on the land of the dead, your body experienced Supernatural Radiation, and various divine and Demon Transformation characteristics appeared at the same time, almost tearing you apart."

Normally, the moment you step in, nine out of ten people will die immediately. The various supernatural transformations are too intense, and few people can withstand them.

Wang Xuan felt something was wrong; he had only experienced Demon Transformation, not deification.

"That's because you ate a low-grade fruit from a demon, which was probably Blood Grape."

He was speechless when he heard this explanation.

The Ferryman had nothing to hide about this place.

Why is the outer perimeter of this desolate land barren? Because too many living beings have died, and the area is filled with malevolent energy. Ninety-nine percent of any creature that enters it disintegrates.

After learning all this, Wang Xuan was very satisfied; his physical body had survived the Supernatural Radiation without being damaged, proving its resilience.

"Are those high platforms along the coast guarded by various mythical and legendary top-tier creatures, also originally existing in the Land of the Dead?"

"No, all races feel that the Lost Land is too dangerous. It is a supernatural method left behind by the powerful beings of the past after they made an agreement, pointing out some true paths and deification paths for future creatures."

Even so, the mortality rate was ridiculously high, even frightening.

Wang Xuan witnessed firsthand that among the many living beings beneath each platform, only a few survived the Supernatural Radiation.

Even the Ferryman lamented, "The survival rate of this secret path in the land of the dead is extremely low, which is why not many people dare to take this secret path anymore."

At this moment, a change occurred behind the Great Curtain: clouds and mist surged, obscuring the bright sun, and the world suddenly darkened, shrouded in mist and rain.

"Senior, if she doesn't follow the Rules, can you stop her?" Wang Xuan asked in a low voice, knowing that the Red-clothed Demon Immortal had arrived!

"The Old Testament can stop her," the Ferryman said.

Wang Xuan was immediately at a loss. The Red-clothed Demon Immortal had been trying to break through the restrictions of the Old Testament, and she was someone who was specifically challenging the rules of the Great Curtain.

In the grand scene, the Demon Immortals all bowed respectfully upon seeing the graceful figure in the distance, demonstrating the strength and status of the Red-clothed Demon Immortal.

She had an extremely beautiful figure, dressed in red, and walked in the rain without her Oil-paper Umbrella. Her hair was wet with raindrops, and her fair face looked somewhat unreal in the misty rain.

Her eyes were captivating, possessing an alluring charm that made the other Demon Immortals even more humble.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the group retreated, leaving the area in front of the curtain to her. They all kept their distance, not daring to stand with her.

The White Tiger Demon Immortal stood not far away, ready to be dispatched at any time.

"It's been many days since we last met, and your unparalleled beauty is even more captivating than before." Wang Xuan greeted him politely, not wanting to slap him for being so friendly. He tried his best to ease the tension.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal was indeed exceptionally charming. Her composed and alluring demeanor, which commanded respect from other Demon Immortals, set her apart from the rest.

She didn't speak, but her eyes moved with a natural allure. However, her gaze was actually somewhat cold, and she didn't intend to be friendly.

She was born with stunning beauty, and whether she was smiling or had a cold expression, she had a unique charm that was extremely captivating.

She smiled faintly and poked the curtain with her fair finger, instantly causing a small crack to appear there!

This scene made the Demon Immortals who had consciously stood far away even more wary, and unconsciously they lowered their posture even further, all bowing their heads slightly.

The Ferryman's blurry face appeared in the raincoat, staring ahead. The Red-clothed Demon Immortal was clearly violating the Old Testament, and was quite arrogant and conceited.

"Tell me, what will I do with you after I catch you?" she asked with a smile, her bright red lips and beautiful pearly teeth giving her a captivating and alluring smile.

Wang Xuan became alert. Could this woman really break out and pull out a hand? If she really grabbed him, he would be in big trouble.

He looked at the Ferryman, seriously doubting whether this Oath Keeper could guarantee safety here.

"Under the Old Testament, no one is exempt," the Ferryman said solemnly.

Wang Xuan felt that his statement was not very reliable, and he thought it best to be more cautious and not provoke the Red-clothed Demon Immortal.

"Fairy, I sent the White Tiger Demon Immortal to deliver a message to you, and I wasn't just saying it casually. I don't think there's any need for us to clash as soon as we meet. I know your purpose, and it doesn't conflict with my interests. I believe that since we're not enemies, we might be able to cooperate."

Wang Xuan was very sincere and wanted to resolve the conflict.

The Ferryman glanced at him, his blurry face showing an unfriendly expression, as if to say, "This is going too far. You're discussing breach of contract in front of the person who keeps the agreement."

Wang Xuan said, "I truly believe that there's nothing in this world that can't be discussed. We can turn enemies into friends and get along well. For example, you could invest in me, allowing me to grow faster, so that I can better help you get out of this situation. You see, this is much better than you constantly trying to capture me and force me to submit, isn't it?"

"Do you think I'm that silly cat, nurturing the enemy to grow, raising a threat? How naive." The Red-clothed Demon Immortal glanced at him indifferently.

Behind him, the White Tiger Demon Immortal was filled with shame and indignation, glaring fiercely at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan sighed softly, "I came with sincerity, hoping to cooperate with the fairy, but I never expected that you would not give me any chance and would reject me outright."

The White Tiger Demon Immortal, "Liar, return the medicinal soil first, otherwise what sincerity do you have?"

Wang Xuan ignored her and only looked at the stunningly beautiful Red-clothed Demon Immortal.

"Cooperation is not out of the question. You will come into the main curtain and stay by my side for three years," the Red-clothed Demon Immortal said.

"Three years later, my body left outside will have rotted," Wang Xuan made up an excuse.

At the same time, he was thinking, it's another three-year period. If that's the case, the Red-clothed Demon Immortal can't force her way out either, she's also wary of this time limit.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal smiled slightly and said, "I can bring your spirit and your physical body in together."

"Let's forget it. With the patriarch here, we shouldn't travel far," Wang Xuan refused.

Are you kidding me? If you go in, you'll probably never come out again.

The White Tiger Demon Immortal stood at the back, his round face puffed up with anger, sneering, "Damn patriarch, you're kidding me!"

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal smiled, instantly brightening the misty rainy day, and said, "Then let's change the condition. You bring me the piece of bone that the Female Sword Immortal left in the mortal world."

Wang Xuan's expression immediately changed, and he said coldly, "If you say it like that, you're not being sincere."

How could he possibly give away the Sword Immortal's hand bone, which was brimming with vitality? It was most likely related to her future!

"You should think this through. Without you, I'll be leaving soon too. We'll have a beautiful encounter in the real world then. Are you looking forward to it?"

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal was smiling, her beauty and charm were striking, and she was naturally alluring.

However, Wang Xuan was horrified. Did she have other ways to escape from prison?

"Hmm, I vaguely heard last time that you wanted me to perform a Demon Immortal Dance?" The Red-clothed Demon Immortal frowned slightly as she looked at him.

Wang Xuan was speechless. Last time, when he, Old Chen, and Qing Mu took the spaceship to collect the Heavenly Herb, they did shout that when they escaped. Did she really hear it?

The Ferryman was speechless. This mortal boy was really something, daring to make a peerless Demon Immortals dance for him.

Behind the Great Curtain, several Demon Immortals were utterly shocked. They sighed to themselves, "How many years has it been since we've seen such fearless people? Even immortals who had such thoughts were killed!"

Wang Xuan looked at her, initially remaining silent. But he felt that cooperation was destined to fail today, and things would inevitably fall apart, so what was there to care about?

Therefore, he calmly said, "Sooner or later I'll make you perform a Demon Immortal Dance!"
