Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon witnessing a Golden Immortal being bitten and swallowed by the Azure Nether Immortal King in a few bites, the immortals present finally realized that they were not facing an ordinary immortal, but a demonic cultivator, or even a Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demons feed on immortals, and they have no right to bargain with them. If they continue to disobey, they will likely suffer the same fate as that Golden Immortal.

The Azure Nether Immortal King's body quickly returned to normal. He licked the blood from his lips, looked at the other Golden Immortals next to the one who had just appeared, and said, "I'm feeling a bit hungry."

"You should know how to choose."

Upon witnessing the fate of their fellow disciples, the Golden Immortals trembled and said:

"I...we...we'll go scout ahead..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining Golden Immortals turned around and ran towards the valley without any hesitation.

Entering the valley wouldn't necessarily mean death, but staying here would likely mean being swallowed whole; they had no choice.

After the Golden Immortals entered the valley, the valley was instantly shrouded in mist, and people could not see what was happening inside. The figures of the Golden Immortals gradually disappeared into the white mist.

This white mist seemed to be able to block all detection; even the Celestial Kings, relying on their own perception, could not sense the aura of those Golden Immortals.

Now they didn't even know that those Golden Immortals seemed to still be alive.

Just then, one of the Celestial Kings couldn't sit still any longer. He led the Golden Immortals behind him directly into the white mist, without even needing the Azure Nether Celestial King to speak.

Although there may be dangers inside, there may also be opportunities. Nowadays, the Great Dao of Life is being eroded by mysterious forces, and the lifespan of immortals has been greatly shortened. Many immortals need opportunities to break through their limits.

Seeing that someone had gone in on their own initiative, the immortals present also began to get restless.

The Azure Nether Immortal King frowned slightly. With this cloud of white mist blocking the way, no one knew what was happening inside. If it was dangerous, that was fine, but if there was an opportunity inside, wouldn't letting this group of people go in first mean that the opportunity would belong to them?

If it's a treasure, that's fine. Even if these people get the treasure, he can threaten them to hand it over. But if it's some kind of immortal technique inheritance, these people won't say anything, and he won't know who has obtained the immortal technique inheritance.

He couldn't possibly search each person's soul individually, could he? That would truly incite public outrage, and those people would probably risk being killed to fight him to the death.

After thinking for a moment, the Azure Nether Immortal King decided to go in with this group. If they encountered any danger, he would simply use them as scapegoats.

Thinking of this, the Azure Nether Immortal King then said to the remaining immortals, "You all come in with me!"

Upon hearing Qingming Immortal King's words, none of the people present refused. They had witnessed the miserable state of the previous Golden Immortal and did not want to become Qingming Immortal King's snack. More importantly, they also wanted to see if there were any opportunities here.

Then all the immortals present headed into the valley, and Lu Chen was no exception.

After seeing everyone go inside, the Azure Nether Immortal King gave a few instructions to the disciples of the Nine Heavens Academy, and then followed them into the valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, the group sensed something was amiss. Although their senses had been blocked outside, once inside the valley, they could clearly detect the presence of ferocious beasts.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue immediately transmitted her voice to Lu Chen and the members of the Beast Alliance, "Be careful, there may be ferocious beasts in this valley." As soon as Immortal Venerable Xiyue finished speaking, some heart-wrenching screams came from the white mist.

The members of the Beast Alliance quickly formed a circle around Lu Chen. They knew Lu Chen's importance; he could inscribe Saint-level array patterns, and if they encountered powerful enemies, they would need Lu Chen to inscribe array patterns to help them escape. Therefore, Lu Chen absolutely could not be harmed.

At this moment, a Celestial King flew into the air, attempting to use his celestial power to dispel the white mist in the valley. However, to the Celestial King's surprise, a dark shadow appeared behind him as soon as he took to the air.

Realizing that someone was attacking him, the immortal king quickly turned around and unleashed a palm strike.

After his palm strike collided with the black shadow, a burst of black blood exploded. The Immortal King said disdainfully, "A bunch of beasts, all they do is play tricks."

As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned his golden body and then quickly made hand seals. In the next moment, tornadoes appeared in the valley.

As the tornado passed, the white fog gradually dissipated.

When they saw that the white mist had actually dissipated, the immortals in the valley were stunned. When they were outside, they thought that the white mist could not be dispelled.

After entering the small world, they encountered many scenes that could not be destroyed by their immortal power. It was clear that there were rules protecting certain scenes in this small world. So when they saw the white mist in this valley, they subconsciously assumed that the white mist could not be dispelled either.

Now it seems they were overthinking things. It appears that the white mist is likely not a product of the power of rules, but rather created by the ferocious beasts within the small world.

The white mist dissipated, and the scene inside the valley came into view. In the middle of the valley, there was a huge stone tablet, covered with dense runes.

Around the stone tablet, there was a blood-red Taoist aura flowing, but this aura was somewhat different from the Taoist aura that people knew.

Normal Daoist auras would resonate with those who cultivate the same Dao, but the Daoist auras flowing around the stone tablet did not resonate with any of the immortals present.

With so many immortals present, even if the Daoist aura flowing in the air was different from the Dao they cultivated, many of these immortals had lived for hundreds of millions of years and had seen all kinds of Daoist auras.

The Daoist aura flowing through this valley is unlike anything any of the immortals present have ever seen before.

At this moment, some people are already suspecting that the fallen person was not a Celestial Emperor, but someone from beyond the heavens.

Before people could even begin to study the runes on the stone tablet, a black door suddenly appeared in front of it. The next moment, countless ferocious beasts at the Immortal Lord level rushed out of that door, heading straight for the immortals present.

This time, without the white mist, people could see the ferocious beasts with their own eyes. They were no longer as passive as before, and they were not as afraid as when they first entered the valley. Some immortals even took the initiative to go forward and fight with the ferocious beasts.

In an instant, the entire valley became incredibly chaotic, with all sorts of spells flying everywhere and the oppressive power of various magical treasures intertwined.

Lu Chen was protected by members of the Beast Alliance, and although he only had the cultivation level of a mortal immortal, he did not suffer any attacks.

At the same time, Chu Zhengyu had already entered the valley and saw that the people of the Beast Alliance had surrounded Lu Chen, seemingly to protect him. This made him even more curious about Lu Chen's true identity.

So many demons protecting a mere mortal immortal? This does seem rather strange; clearly, this mortal immortal holds a high position within the Beast Alliance. (End of Chapter)
