An encounter with fellow countryman Ye Tian, the Corpse Driving Sect, and the Heaven Burial Grand Formation!

"Although my father and I escaped the Endless Mountain Range, his story has already become known. Human Clan and Demon Clan are inherently enemies, and meeting them means certain death."

"The world naturally disapproved of my father and mother's relationship, so for my safety, my father placed me in the care of a Peasant School in the Ethereal City."

At this point, Xiao Zining said with a sorrowful expression, "About a few years later, I heard the news of my father's death."

"So, you hate Human Clan cultivators?"

After a long silence, Xiao Zining shook her head. "I don't know. My father once told me that I should never hate the Human Clan, no matter what."

He said that from the moment he chose to stay with his mother, he already knew the ending. He said it was his choice, and he didn't want me to live in hatred.

Ling Yi declined to comment.

But he could tell that Xiao Zining harbored hatred in her heart, and was probably quite conflicted!

"If Human Clan and Demon Clan could coexist peacefully," Xiao Zining murmured.

Hearing Xiao Zining's words, Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood something.

Xiaoming Ming probably already knew Xiao Zining's true identity, and his request to protect her likely stemmed from some ulterior motive.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Can you find your mother?"

Actually, what Ling Yi wanted to ask was whether Xiao Zining could confirm whether her mother was still alive.

But asking directly wasn't a good idea, so I changed the way I phrased it.

Xiao Zining took out a piece of the colorful scale.

The scales are about the size of a palm, with iridescent halos flowing across them, the halos sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if breathing, like colorful jade, very beautiful.

"This was given to me by my father; it's a piece of my mother's unyielding scale. As long as the colorful light on it remains, it proves that my mother is still alive."

"As long as you are within a hundred miles of your mother, you can Perception her Aura."

" Ling Yi, I..."

Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, since I've taken your Spirit Stone, I'll definitely keep my word. I'm just worried about whether my method of saving people will be effective for your mother."

"It will definitely work. My mother's internal organs were injured in basically the same way I was injured that day, but because of the influence of the Thunder power, they are difficult to heal."

"Over the years, Mother has exhausted the power of Thunder, but she has also consumed a great deal of Demon Beast Power. All you need to do is help Mother restore her internal organs; you are sure you can do it."

Ling Yi responded with an "oh".

It seems that these colorful cesium scales can not only monitor the other party's physical condition, but also probably conduct remote communication!

Otherwise, how could Xiao Zining know so much?

Another half day has passed.

As they approached the Endless Mountain Range, they encountered more and more cultivators.

From occasionally seeing just three or five, it's now common to see groups of cultivators riding various flying magical Dharma Artifact, flying towards the Endless Mountain Range.

Most of these people weren't heading towards the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm.

According to the description in the jade slip that Xiaoming gave to Ling Yi, the number of people who can enter the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm is limited.

Only one thousand people are allowed to enter.

Naturally, whoever has the bigger fist and the Li Qiang will advance.

The spots for entering the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm have long been divided up by various cultivation sects.

Cultivators from minor sects or independent cultivators are simply not qualified to enter.

Therefore, most cultivators head towards the Endless Mountain Range.

This was the first time Ling Yi had ever seen so many cultivators. Watching the various special effects streak across the sky, Ling Yi's heart couldn't help but race.

Just then, a human-shaped Thunder streaked across the sky.

It flew directly towards Ling Yi and his group, and before it even got close, Ling Yi sensed a familiar Aura emanating from it.

It's the Aura of Devil Fruit.

Ling Yi has now consumed eighty Devil Fruit, so he is naturally very familiar with their Devil Fruit Aura.

Ling Yi instantly stood up from the Flying Sword.

However, there are no Devil Fruit in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

If, besides himself, anyone else is most likely to possess Devil Fruit, then it's only...

" Ye Tian!" Ling Yi shouted at the humanoid Thunder.

As Ling Yi spoke, the humanoid Thunder suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then landed directly on Ling Yi and his companions' large Flying Sword.

The power of Thunder slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of Ye Tian, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

" Ling Yi, Senior Sister Xiao?" Ye Tian naturally knew Ling Yi and Xiao Zining.

This guy was previously taken in as a personal disciple by Sect Master Jiang Xiaoming, and he calls Xiao Zining Sister, which makes sense.

Ye Tian and Xiao Zining were fairly familiar with each other; she was a genius with an Innate Divine Ability.

It was because he possessed Innate Divine Ability that Jiang Xiaoming took him in as his personal disciple.

Ye Tian was not familiar with Ling Yi; they only knew each other but had never spoken a word to each other.

"Something's not right with you!" Ye Tian said, looking at Ling Yi.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

"Imperial Jade Liquor!"

"One hundred and eighty cups!"

"No, if you're going to use a code word, can you at least make it rhyme?" Ye Tian couldn't help but complain.

"Is that the Lightning Devil Fruit?" Ling Yi asked.

"What Devil Fruit power do you possess?" Ye Tian countered.

"What other Devil Fruit abilities do you have?" Ling Yi countered.

"No, what's the point of hiding this?" Ye Tian rolled his eyes.

He paused for a moment and then said, " Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is all I have right now."

The opponent does indeed only possess the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, but Ye Tian was referring to the present, meaning that he may very well acquire other fruit abilities in the future.

Could it be that this guy also has Farming System like mine?

However, Ye Tian's Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability seems a bit weak!

"What are you doing...?" Xiao Zining next to him, looked at Ling Yi, then at Ye Tian, and couldn't help but ask.

"Senior sister, we're from the same hometown," Ye Tian explained.

Xiao Zining looked at Ling Yi with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask. It's a secret. If you ask again, I'll have to make up lies to fool you." Ling Yi simply didn't explain.

Xiao Zining looked annoyed; she really wanted to beat Ling Yi up.

Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, Senior Sister, you'd better not ask. We'll tell you when the time is right."

He paused for a moment, then asked Ling Yi, "When did you arrive?"

"October 15, 2024, dump truck, you know what I mean?"

"I understand. I arrived here ten years earlier than you. I came on July 2, 2014, to save someone in front of a heavy truck."

Xiao Zining found the conversation nonsensical, but Ling Yi and Ye Tian both understood what the other meant.

"I always thought I was the only person in the world. I never imagined there were fellow villagers. Have you met any other people from your hometown?"

Ling Yi shook his head. "So far, I've only seen you."

"With a system?" Ye Tian asked again.

"And you?"

"You rascal, you only tell me after I tell you first, right? Penguin Farm." Ye Tian didn't hide anything.

"Almost!" Ling Yi nodded.

The two have somewhat similar cheat codes, but Ling Yi's is clearly an enhanced version.

"You're so dishonest! What do you mean by 'almost'?"

"Yeah, it's a little bit better than Penguin Farm, but the functions are similar."

Ye Tian suddenly realized, "Is the Spiritual Field and Spiritual Rice in our Eastern District because of you?"

Ling Yi nodded; it wasn't surprising that Ye Tian could guess that he had a remote one-click function.

"How will we play from now on?" Ye Tian asked.

"Let's each do our own thing, what are we going to do? Fight me, you can't beat me anyway."

"I can't beat you?" Ye Tian retorted.

"Do you know how powerful the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Have you heard of trillions of volts? It can electrify anything."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ling Yi clapped his hands.

Ye Tian rolled his eyes. Damn, this guy is so annoying.

But it's impossible for the two of them to fight.

After a brief test, the two had a general understanding of each other's personalities.

As long as the other party isn't the scheming type of transmigrator, it'll be fine.

But Ye Tian was clearly still wary of Ling Yi. Who knew if this guy was the kind of Old Liu who was all smiles on the surface but secretly plotting against him?

Just then, the Flying Sword suddenly stopped.

Not only did Xiao Zining and her group's Flying Sword stop, but all the other cultivators also stopped in mid-air.

In front of the crowd, rows of coffins formed a wall, blocking their path.

"They're from the Corpse Driving Sect," Xiao Zining said, frowning.

"Are they trying to rob us on the highway?" Ye Tian asked.

"No, they are sand people," Xiao Zining said with a serious expression.

He paused for a moment, then explained, " The Corpse Driving Sect recently joined the Blood Demon Sect. It's said that the Blood Demon Patriarch has returned and has already integrated all the Demonic Sect."

" Blood Demon Patriarch? That name sounds like a villain!"

" The Blood Demon Patriarch was a demon who wreaked havoc on the Immortal Cultivation Realm a thousand years ago. His Blood Demon Art allowed him to devour the flesh and blood of living beings to strengthen himself, making him extremely powerful."

"It is said that the Blood Demon Patriarch alone brought devastation to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, killing hundreds of sects large and small. He was finally killed by the former sect leader of the Ethereal Sword School, who sacrificed his lifespan."

"So, they didn't kill them all?" Ling Yi asked.

"My the Final Master said that he escaped with a drop of demonic blood and was reincarnated to cultivate anew. The current Blood Demon Patriarch is stronger than he was a thousand years ago, and has already reached the Half-Step Spirit Leaving the Body stage."

"What does that have to do with the Corpse Driving Sect?" Ye Tian asked.

"Help the Blood Demon Patriarch refine the Demonic Blood Pill."

"I bet the process of refining the Demonic Blood Pill is incredibly Masai," Ye Tian.

He paused, then looked at Ling Yi: "What are you planning to do?"

"Let's see!"

Just then, all the coffins stood upright, the lids slowly opened, and one by one, pale-faced corpses dressed in armor flew out of the coffins.

"Oh no! They're all Bronze Corpse! Run!" someone exclaimed.

But now the Corpse Driving Sect was clearly prepared; thousands of coffins began to rotate automatically, flying in circles at extremely high speeds in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, these coffins formed a huge spherical area, surrounding everyone in the center.

"Is the Bronze Corpse very powerful?" Ye Tian asked.

" The Bronze Corpse were all Golden Core Realm experts in life. This is the unique Heaven Burial Grand Formation the Corpse Driving Sect. Even Nascent Soul Ancestor trapped inside would find it difficult to Escape," Xiao Zining explained with a solemn expression.

" The Heaven Burial Grand Formation? What a pretentious name," Ye Tian remarked.

Then he looked at Ling Yi again. "What do we do?"

"Young man, the task of saving the Immortal Cultivation Realm and maintaining Immortal Cultivation Realm peace is entrusted to you. Go for it! You can do it!"
