Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yuxuan looked at Liu Yi and reminded him, "One Yin-Yang Token can only allow one person to enter the Yin-Yang Ruins."

Also, once we enter the secret realm, we will appear directly in the outer area.

"We'll enter from the same place and appear at the location of the Yin-Yang Ruins. It won't be too far away. Let's go in and meet up there."

As soon as she finished speaking, she activated the Yin-Yang Token, and a spatial portal gleaming with silver light suddenly opened before her.

She stepped into the portal and disappeared.

Seeing this, Liu Yi also activated the Yin-Yang Token, and another spatial gate appeared. He entered the gate in a flash.

A moment later, he found himself in a strange and eerie world.

The sky here is gray, and the ground is dark; there is neither the bright and clear sky of the mortal world nor the cold and desolate atmosphere of the Netherworld.

Only a chaotic and oppressive atmosphere lingered between heaven and earth.

Liu Yi immediately examined himself, sensing the connection between his inner world and the Xuanyi World.

Upon discovering that the two were not separated by the Yin-Yang Ruins, he felt a sense of relief.

Even if they encounter danger here, they will have a way out.

He immediately checked the system status and found that its communication with the outside world was unaffected, and even the Spatial Teleportation function was still usable.

This discovery delighted him, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he began to ponder.

Perhaps we could turn Yin-Yang Ruins into a dungeon and let the system host explore it on their own.

In this way, I can both collect Energy Points and enrich the system's ecosystem—isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

However, the Yin-Yang Ruins are extremely dangerous, and only system hosts at or above the Dao Soul Realm (Void Return Realm) are qualified to enter this place.

He then focused his mind to sense the Great Dao Principle of the Yin-Yang Ruins and discovered that the Principle within this secret realm were extremely chaotic and even more difficult to comprehend than those in the outside world.

The energy of heaven and earth is also exceptionally violent and disorderly, making it very difficult to absorb and refine. However, with my own abilities, I might be able to refine it.

With that thought in mind, he reached out and grabbed a ball of energy in his palm, then carefully guided it into his body.

The moment that violent energy entered his meridians, it was firmly enveloped by the all-encompassing True Power within his body.

In the blink of an eye, it was completely melted down and transformed into a part of its own True Power.

He immediately raised his hand and released Little Yellow from his Portable Daoist Sanctum.

As soon as Little Yellow Huang appeared, he looked up and saw that the sky was gray and gloomy, with neither the sun nor the moon in the sky, nor any stars to adorn it;

Beneath my feet lay dark, barren earth, and all I could see was a desolate landscape, not a single green plant in sight.

The chaotic and oppressive atmosphere surrounding it made every hair on its body stand on end, and it wagged its tail in alarm.

"Master, is this the Yin-Yang Ruins? This is terrifying! It feels like the legendary Netherworld."

Seeing this, Liu Yi chuckled and teased it, "Since you're scared, why don't you go back to your Portable Daoist Sanctum? It's much safer there than here."

Little Yellow immediately shook its head and refused. "No way! I want to go explore the secret realm with my master."

Not far away, Su Yuxuan caught sight of Little Yellow suddenly emerging from her Portable Daoist Sanctum, her pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She reacted instantly, her eyes lighting up as she discovered the loophole in the Yin-Yang Ruins.

"Senior Liu, why don't we head to the market ahead and purchase some magical Law Treasure that can protect our Divine Sense and balance the yin and yang energies within our bodies?"

She paused slightly before explaining in detail, "Although there are treasures in the Yin-Yang Ruins that are hard to find outside, the deeper you go, the greater the danger."

Beyond the Yin-Yang Plain lies the River of Forgetfulness, and further in lies the core area, from which very few emerge alive.

Only the Yin-Yang Plain are relatively less dangerous, rich in treasures, and where you can even find Chaos Stone.

Therefore, most cultivators would search for treasures in the Yin-Yang Plain.

However, the Yin-Yang Plain are shrouded in a strange Yin-Yang Mist, which not only disturbs Divine Sense and obstructs vision, causing one to lose their way,

In severe cases, it can even lead to Divine Sense confusion and damage to the very essence of the soul.

Therefore, one should not extend Divine Sense outside the body, otherwise it may damage the soul.

It can also reverse the Yin and Yang energies in the body. Once Yin and Yang are out of balance, it can cause damage to the meridians at best, and severe injury at worst.

Therefore, we must prepare these targeted Law Treasure in advance.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi was somewhat surprised. If even the Yin-Yang Plain, which had the lowest level of danger, was this perilous, one could only imagine how dangerous the deeper parts were.

"Alright, let's do as Fellow Daoist Su arranges."

He nodded in agreement and gestured, "Please lead the way, fellow Daoist, we're going to the market to buy Law Treasure."

Su Yuxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Yi had agreed to her suggestion.

She had previously worried that the other party, being so powerful, might be arrogant and wouldn't listen to advice.

Now it seems that Liu Yi not only possesses profound cultivation, but also has a calm and composed temperament, and is able to listen to good advice.

In this way, when I use my memories from my previous life to guide him to explore those treasures, I will save a lot of explanation work and things will go much more smoothly.

"Senior Liu, please follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she flew forward.

Seeing this, Liu Yi took to the air and followed her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

He secretly placed spatial coordinates along the route.

The reason for secretly setting up so many spatial coordinates was precisely to prevent them from being deliberately erased after being discovered by others.

At the same time, it also prevents the spatial coordinates from being damaged due to other unknown changes.

"Fellow Daoist Su, are there any Chaos Stone for sale in the market?"

Su Yuxuan replied, "There are indeed Chaos Stone for sale in the market. However, those Chaos Stone are not only of poor quality and small in size, but also extremely expensive."

"Why don't we wait and go to the Yin-Yang Plain ourselves to find the Chaos Stone?"

Half an hour later, the two men and the dog arrived at the market, and Liu Yi's gaze fell on the road ahead.

All that could be seen were rows of houses built of stones, varying in height, some over ten meters tall and others only two or three meters, their shapes bizarre and haphazard.

Seeing the curiosity in Liu Yi and Little Yellow's eyes, Su Yuxuan took the initiative to explain:

"This market is not only inhabited by Human Race cultivators, but also by all kinds of demons and monsters, which is why the houses are so strangely shaped."

Furthermore, the market is a trading place for all beings within the Yin-Yang Ruins, so the various forces had long ago made an agreement:

Violence is strictly prohibited within the market. Anyone who breaks the rules will become an enemy of all forces and will be attacked by the entire community.

Liu Yi nodded and replied in a deep voice, "I understand. If Fellow Daoist Su has anything important to discuss later, let's contact each other directly via Microchat. It's safer that way."

Su Yuxuan was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked up at Liu Yi.

She truly hadn't expected that Liu Yi, despite his formidable strength, would act with such caution and prudence.

After a brief moment of surprise, she nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."

Little Yellow, standing to the side, didn't find it strange. Its master was always steady and reliable. Even if he seemed reckless at times, he would only act that way when he was confident.
