Not Ripe Yet

No one knew who had invented the Longevity Lamp. Azure Heaven Venerable had brought it into the Glazed Dao Academy.

It could be said that a great part of the Glazed Dao Academy's strength relied on the existence of the Longevity Lamp.

The Immortal World was filled with countless perilous places, many of which contained ancient relics. There were even places where Fruit Status Immortals faced nine deaths for every chance of survival upon entering.
