Participating in the "Art God Trial"

Thus, the guardians' duties did not end with guarding the Seal. They also had to slaughter the creatures corrupted by the aura, preventing them from escaping into the outside world and causing even greater turmoil. After all, evil demons multiplied at a terrifying pace; one careless mistake could trigger considerable upheaval.

Qinghe Heaven and Earth had a total of four such Demon Abyss sites. The Eight Great Powers regularly took turns assigning people to guard them, and when necessary, they would recruit people from smaller factions as well. At minimum, one had to be in the Late True Immortal Realm to qualify.

Each guard duty lasted at least five hundred thousand years. This time, Linlong had been assigned to guard Demon Abyss Number Two, the site under the Myriad Spirits Divine Palace's responsibility during this rotation.

Guarding the Demon Abyss was not entirely a thankless task. Although cultivation near the Demon Abyss was slower, the rewards were plentiful—far more generous than those for guarding ordinary Secret Realms or immortal realms. The only drawback was that one could not "take leave" while stationed at the Demon Abyss.

That was precisely why Jin Feng believed this would prevent Linlong from interfering with your breakthrough, causing your Man-made Disaster to collapse without even being attacked!

Not long after Linlong headed to the Demon Abyss, Yan Lun sent you a message as well. After finding a Formation Master, he discovered that the so-called immortal estate had actually vanished. He bitterly complained that the Medicine Field and Five Elements Soil were all gone.

At that moment, you could completely confirm that the immortal estate had been a trap Linlong deliberately set for you. Otherwise, it could not possibly have been such a coincidence...
