Again Visiting Ancient God's Land, Seeking Follow-Ups and Monthly Votes

Starfall Ruins sat within the forbidden zone of the Demon Sea. Even Nascent Soul Stage old monsters who entered this place never returned; only cultivators who had reached the Soul Transformation stage could move through it unhindered.

Yet if they were careless, even Soul Transformation stage powerhouses could still lose their lives.

Lin Che gazed calmly at the Starfall Ruins before him while spreading out his divine sense, perfectly enveloping the space around him. Should the slightest danger arise, he would be able to detect the situation immediately.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Che arrived at the central region within the Starfall Ruins.

There were many massive boulders here, each containing incredibly vast energy. Anyone who touched them—even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators—would perish, body and soul destroyed.

At the very center stood a special teleportation array. As it was an ancient teleportation array, one had to use Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones to enter the Ancient God's Land.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che looked at the ancient teleportation array before him. He then waved his right hand, and several Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones shot from his sleeve, perfectly embedding themselves into the recessed slots at the center of the platform.

"Master, you're actually using Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones to activate the teleportation array? What a terrible waste!"

Xu Liguo watched the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones being squandered and felt his heart ache terribly. Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones were scarce throughout Vermillion Bird Star; even Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses might not possess half of one.

Yet this Fiend Star before him had embedded all these Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones into the teleportation array. Was this guy really an idiot?

"Too noisy."

Lin Che looked coldly at Xu Liguo. His pale red eyes instantly frightened Xu Liguo into dropping to his knees, where he tearfully begged for mercy. "Master, I was wrong. I merely spoke without thinking. Please, Master, be magnanimous and spare my life."

As the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones merged into the teleportation array, several golden pillars of light shot straight into the heavens.

Vast energy gathered within the array, spreading endlessly in all directions like raging waves. The surrounding boulders shattered inch by inch the moment they came into contact with this energy.

The array beneath them also erupted with dazzling golden light, enveloping Lin Che and Xu Liguo within it before transporting them to the true Ancient God's Land.

As one of the few forbidden lands on Vermillion Bird Star, the Ancient God's Land was so dangerous that even Peak Stage powerhouses would surely perish here.

After all, the Ancient God's Land was where Ancient God Tu Si had fallen.

Tu Si had been an Eight-star Ancient God. When pursuing the Nine-star realm, he used a reverse cultivation method and produced Demonic Thought Tuo Sen. In the end, Tu Si fell, and his corpse landed on Vermillion Bird Star, forming the Ancient God's Land.

The place was filled with dangers: all kinds of traps, unknown threats, and special restrictions, such as Restriction Mountain and the Annihilation Realm, as well as a great number of wandering souls.

"Ancient God's Land... I, Lin Che, have returned."

Lin Che looked at the familiar floating stone path before him, a trace of melancholy appearing in his eyes as though his thoughts had been drawn back to scenes from a century ago.

To enter the second trial, one had to advance along the direction of the floating stones to reach its entrance. However, countless demonic beasts would appear along the way, making the journey fraught with danger.

Lin Che stood atop the head of the Bloodfiend Azure Dragon. Having come here once before, he was quite familiar with the environment and mechanisms, so he directly commanded the Azure Dragon toward the entrance of the second trial.

Likewise, this was merely the entrance to the Ancient God's body. Entering the Ancient God's body itself was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

However, at their current speed, they would only need a few years to reach the Ancient God's body and seek the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories within the Ancient God's Land.

He had come for the Inheritance of Memories in the first place. Lin Che did not care about anything else; obtaining the inheritance was all that mattered.

Moreover, if they stayed here for even one extra minute, Demon God Tuo Sen might notice them. That would truly be troublesome.

Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back, coldly watching the floating stones around him as he released his spiritual power.

As his vast divine sense spread outward, every demonic beast it touched fled in panic upon sensing a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Transformation stage.

Even the Desolate Beasts were somewhat wary, which was enough to show how formidable a Nascent Soul Transformation stage powerhouse was.

Furthermore, the Bloodfiend Azure Dragon was itself a Desolate Beast. The power of its bloodline alone suppressed the other demonic beasts, and its aura was enough to fill them with unprecedented terror.

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the surrounding Desolate Beasts. He spoke indifferently, "Keep moving forward. I would like to see who dares stand in my way."

The Bloodfiend Azure Dragon nodded and continued weaving through the air above the floating stones. As for the Desolate Beasts and lesser Desolate Beasts that approached, they all died the instant they came into contact with Lin Che's divine sense.

The Desolate Beasts here were only at the early Nascent Soul Transformation stage. Moreover, their true forms were not particularly powerful, so they were slain the moment they made contact.

Congratulations to the host for killing the Desolate Beast Demon Sky Snow Serpent. The host has been awarded one Peak Stage protective magical treasure.

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Lin Che nodded in satisfaction. He immediately put on the Peak Stage magical treasure, preventing any powerhouse from launching a sneak attack against him.

"It seems the Ancient God's Land is better suited for the system's growth."

Lin Che put away the system panel and raised his head to look at the endless floating stones. At his speed, he should reach the entrance to the second trial in only two days.

According to the normal timeline, Wang Lin would not come to the Ancient God's Land for several more years, and he would spend much time on the journey as well. Lin Che was not worried that Wang Lin would obtain the Inheritance of Memories within the Ancient God's Land.

Xu Liguo landed atop the Azure Dragon's head and said with a smile, "As expected of Master—you truly are formidable. Even Desolate Beasts are like ants before you. Besides, most of these Desolate Beasts are at Nascent Soul Transformation Grand Perfection, while very few possess Soul Formation Stage cultivation."

Lin Che narrowed his eyes. "Go scout the path ahead."

"Huh?"

Xu Liguo's face turned ashen. He collapsed at Lin Che's feet and convulsed. "Master, I think I've been attacked. Let me go back and rest first."

"Go."

Lin Che slowly lowered his head and looked at Xu Liguo, who was still begging for mercy. His icy voice was like a life-reaping demon, leaving Xu Liguo without the slightest will to resist. He could only fly unwillingly toward the distant floating stones at top speed.

This Fiend Star—why should I be the one scouting the way? Why don't you scout it yourself!

Xu Liguo continuously cursed Lin Che in his heart and said resentfully, If I weren't weaker than you, I would have skinned you alive and torn out your bones long ago. I'd make you wish you were dead.

Fortunately, under the oppressive spiritual power of Lin Che and the Desolate Beast Bloodfiend Azure Dragon, all the demonic beasts in the first trial had been suppressed. No threats appeared along the way.
