Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

"Bang!"

The golden light collided violently with the enormous black vortex.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as imagined, nor any violent spatial tearing.

The terrifying suction force, powerful enough to drain a Void Refinement Old Monster dry, retreated and melted the moment it touched this layer of golden light, as if it had encountered its nemesis, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire!

Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, staring in astonishment at the golden light enveloping him.

"The golden bowl...it actually managed to block the ancient demon's suction force?!"

It should be noted that since obtaining the golden bowl, Chen Fan had only regarded it as a spatial treasure that could be used to grow spiritual herbs and to evade pursuit.

He knew the golden bowl was mysterious and extraordinary.

But he never dreamed that the power of the golden bowl would be so great that it could contend with such a terrifying existence that transcended the common sense of the cultivation world!

The spiritual energy within his body stopped flowing out, and the pulling sensation in his bones disappeared completely.

Protected by the golden light, Chen Fan hovered less than a foot away from the black vortex, completely unharmed.

"Huff... huff..."

He was panting heavily, and the feeling of relief that he had just escaped death made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

"Thank goodness... If it weren't for the golden bowl, our family would definitely be dead and torn to pieces today."

Chen Fan reached out and touched the golden bowl in his arms, which had returned to calm and was only emitting a warm breath. His eyes were filled with lingering fear after surviving the ordeal.

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief...

Another strange change occurred on the golden bowl.

The protective golden light surrounding Chen Fan did not recede after protecting him as usual, but suddenly split into strands of golden spiritual energy.

These thin lines, like tentacles, probed directly into the deep black vortex!

"What is it going to do?"

Chen Fan was taken aback. Then, he felt a powerful and unwavering will being transmitted directly into his sea of ​​consciousness through these golden threads.

Go in!

The golden bowl was sending him a clear signal!

Enter that vortex!

"Are you kidding me!"

Chen Fan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he refused without hesitation.

What is that vortex?

That was a devouring channel created by an ancient demon with nine star-like spots on its body and exuding overwhelming demonic energy!

This place is definitely connected to the core sealed area of ​​this ancient demon!

He was almost drained dry just now, and now that he has barely survived, the golden bowl is actually trying to force him to go in on his own.

What's the difference between this and a lamb entering a tiger's den?

"No! Absolutely not!"

Chen Fan gritted his teeth, trying to control his body to back away.

However, he was horrified to discover that, under the golden light, his body was completely out of his control!

The golden bowl not only protected him, but also temporarily stripped him of control over his physical body.

"tread."

Driven by the golden light, Chen Fan's right foot stiffly took a step forward.

We're one step closer to the vortex.

"Damn it! Stop! Stop it now!"

Chen Fan roared inwardly, cold sweat instantly soaking through the back of his robe. He was an extremely cautious man who never fought unprepared battles, and would never entrust his life to the unknown.

But this time, no matter how he resisted in his sea of ​​consciousness, no matter how he called upon the power of the fusion of immortals and demons within his body.

The golden bowl's light remained as steady as Mount Tai, relentlessly pulling him step by step toward the vortex.

"tread."

Another step.

Chen Fan's body was already halfway into the edge of the vortex.

The terrifying sense of spatial tearing and the roar of demonic energy within the vortex were almost within reach. If it weren't for the golden light protecting him, he had no doubt that he would have been minced into a bloody pulp in an instant.

"What exactly does this golden bowl want? It's been with me all this time, never harming me. Why is it forcing me inside this time?"

Chen Fan forced himself to calm down, his brain racing.

He recalled the excitement he felt when the golden bowl had moved earlier.

That feeling wasn't like fear, it was more like... a reunion?

Or perhaps it's a discovery of something of the same origin, or even something one desires to devour?

"The golden bowl is a supreme treasure of the immortals... and beneath it lies an unparalleled ancient demon..."

"Old Dog Huoyuan said there's a secret of ancient immortals down there... Could it be that he wasn't entirely wrong? Besides demons, is there really an immortal legacy down there? And what the golden bowl sensed was that?"

Various thoughts flashed through Chen Fan's mind like lightning.

At this moment, most of his body had already been pulled into the vortex by the golden light.

Retreat is no longer an option.

Since we cannot resist, we can only choose to face it!

Chen Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and resistance in his eyes. His gaze returned to its sharp and cold intensity, and his left hand gripped the golden bowl tightly in his arms.

"You've saved my life countless times; our family's life was given to us by you."

Chen Fan secretly hardened his heart, a crazy smile curving his lips.

"Since you insist I go in, then I'll risk my life to accompany you and see what kind of monsters and demons are lurking down there!"

Believe in the Golden Bowl!

This is the only and most rational choice he can make at the moment.

Chen Fan stopped resisting the pulling force. He gritted his teeth and even actively cooperated with the golden light, taking the final step heavily with his right foot.

"call!"

The wind howled.

Enveloped in golden light, Chen Fan transformed into a shooting star, steeling himself, and stepped into the enormous black vortex that was capable of swallowing everything.

"Whoosh!"

As Chen Fan entered, the enormous black vortex flickered violently a few times, then suddenly shrank inward and vanished from the underground palace.

The nine bronze pillars still stand silently.

On those nine thick black chains, the humanoid creature covered in black scales and exuding overwhelming demonic energy lowered its head once again.

His long, jet-black hair obscured his smooth, mirror-like face.

The nine purplish-black stars between his eyebrows completely disappeared.

The entire underground palace once again fell into that timeless stillness and oppression.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was swallowed up by the vortex.

I felt a sudden dizziness, and then all I saw was endless darkness.

The deafening sound of space tearing filled his ears, a feeling a hundred times more terrifying than when he passed through the spatial turbulence barrier outside.

If it weren't for the protective glow emanating from the golden bowl, he suspected he would have been torn to pieces inside the teleportation tunnel.

I don't know how much time passed.

It may be a moment, or it may be ten thousand years!

The intense feeling of weightlessness finally disappeared.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan's feet slammed heavily onto a hard surface.

The instant he landed, the eleven swords in his hand were already half an inch out of their sheaths. The gray-white sword energy flickered on the blades, and the intent of the Fixed Word Technique spread out in all directions like a large net.

"here it is……"
