Su Bai shook off the small team that had managed to survive and continued deeper into Shennongjia.

This perilous primeval jungle, which others see as a terrifying hell, is like a map he knows by heart.

The aura of the [Innate Yin-Yang Dao Body] caused most of the mutated beasts, who acted on instinct, to feel an absolute suppression emanating from the level of life from afar, and they all retreated.

Occasionally, those who are blind to the danger will be silently broken down into the most primitive particles by the protective energy that flows spontaneously around the body before they even get close.

His goal was very clear.

[Shennong Ding]

According to my memories from my previous life, this artifact, which was used by the ancient human ancestor to prove his Dao, is not located in any corner of the outside world.

It is hidden in a secluded realm created by an array set up by an ancient powerful being.

Several hours later, Su Bai stopped.

He came to a vast swamp.

The scene before us was truly a death trap.

A layer of colorful fog perpetually shrouds the dark green mud pit.

That was no ordinary fog, but a deadly miasma formed by the catalysis of spiritual energy from the remains of countless highly poisonous plants and decaying creatures.

Even the current top awakened beings would die within three seconds from internal organ rot if they inhaled just one breath.

The entire swamp area was deathly silent, devoid of any living creatures, and even birds avoided this area.

In his past life, countless expeditions and powerful individuals attempted to force their way through this swamp in search of the legendary opportunities, but in the end, they all became new nourishment at the bottom of the swamp.

This poisonous miasma is the most natural, yet also the most deadly, barrier.

Su Bai looked at the desolate place before him, his expression unchanged.

He knew that this poisonous swamp was just a disguise for the entrance to the secret realm.

The true entrance is hidden within the illusionary killing array that covers the entire swamp.

He did not force his way in.

He lifted his foot and stepped into the poisonous miasma that could instantly corrode steel.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The potentially deadly colored miasma seemed to encounter an invisible barrier when it got within half a meter of his body, automatically parting to make way for him.

His invulnerable Dao body allowed him to disregard the danger at this first physical level.

Immediately afterwards, instead of walking in a straight line, he began to walk slowly across the vast swamp with seemingly chaotic steps.

His steps sometimes veered to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes he took seven steps forward, and sometimes he took three steps back.

Each step was precisely placed on a seemingly ordinary but actually crucial node in the formation.

This set of footwork, which corresponds to the stars in the heavens and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, is the only "key" to breaking this ancient illusionary killing formation.

In the previous life, in order to obtain this set of footwork, a top-level formation master power paid the price of tens of thousands of lives to barely deduce it.

Now, it's just an insignificant piece of information in Su Bai's memory.

As he took his last step, he landed steadily in the very center of the swamp.

"Buzz—"

A soft hum, as if coming from the depths of space, rang out.

The scene before Su Bai's eyes began to distort and blur violently.

That desolate, poisonous swamp, like an oil painting washed with water, quickly lost its color.

Instead, it has become a paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers, a veritable fairyland.

The air was no longer filled with the stench of poisonous miasma, but rather with a rich spiritual energy that was almost tangible, and the refreshing fragrance of herbs and trees.

A clear stream meandered across the ground covered with exotic flowers and plants. Several small deer, which had long been extinct in the outside world and had only one antler on their heads, were leisurely drinking water by the stream. When they saw Su Bai appear, they just blinked curiously and were not afraid.

At the very center of the entire secret realm stands a tall altar made of white jade.

Above the altar, a small, ancient-looking cauldron, about three inches tall, with two handles and four legs, and its entire body in a simple bronze color, floats quietly.

The body of the cauldron is covered with blurred patterns, depicting scenes of ancient people worshipping heaven and earth.

It exudes a magnificent and boundless aura of life, as if it itself is the source of all life in this secret realm, and even in the entire Shennongjia.

It is the very artifact used by the progenitor of humankind to attain enlightenment—the Shennong Cauldron!

Su Bai looked at the small cauldron, and a hint of satisfaction finally appeared in his usually calm eyes.

It came without any effort.

However, just as he was about to set off to retrieve the cauldron.

His eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

He discovered that he wasn't the first person to arrive there.

Around the white jade altar stood seven or eight figures.

The group of people wore matching, simple robes embroidered with intricate cloud patterns, a style of clothing that was completely out of step with modern society.

Each of them exuded a deep, concentrated aura, their temples bulging, and their internal energy as vigorous as a furnace, clearly indicating that they were accomplished ancient martial arts practitioners.

The leader was a young man who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He held an ancient sword with a sheath in his hand. His expression was arrogant and his eyes were domineering. The aura emanating from his body had faintly reached the peak of the "Shackled Realm".

In terms of energy intensity alone, it is not much weaker than Su Bai.

interesting.

A thought flashed through Su Bai's mind.

It seems that the water on Earth is more complex than I knew in my previous life.

In the early stages of the spiritual revival, while awakened beings in the outside world were still figuring out how to control water and fire, these hidden lineages had already produced such powerful figures.

Su Bai's sudden appearance shattered the tranquility of the secret realm.

"Who goes there?!"

Beside the altar, an elder of the Ji family shouted sternly, his eyes filled with vigilance.

The seven or eight ancient martial arts practitioners instantly turned around and formed a combined attack formation, locking onto Su Bai firmly. Each of them had undisguised hostility on their faces.

The arrogant young man at the head, Ji Wuming, scanned Su Bai from head to toe with eyes like lightning.

When he discovered that Su Bai had no true energy fluctuations whatsoever, and that his aura was as restrained as that of an ordinary person, the wariness in his eyes quickly turned into undisguised contempt and disdain.

A mortal who stumbled in by accident?

Or perhaps they just got lucky and are a low-level superhuman who has just awakened their abilities?

He couldn't think of a third possibility.

Ji Wuming didn't even bother to speak himself, but simply gave a wink to one of the elders beside him.

The elder understood immediately, stepped forward, and rebuked Su Bai in a condescending tone: "This is the forbidden area of ​​my Ji family! Who are you, and how did you trespass here? State your name immediately, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

However, Su Bai seemed not to hear him.

His gaze passed over the group of people and calmly landed on the Shennong Cauldron that was floating above the altar.

To him, these so-called inheritors of ancient martial arts were no different from the stones on the roadside.

His disregard for Ji Wuming thoroughly enraged the proud and arrogant Ji Wuming.

In his view, this was not only a provocation, but also a trampling on the Ji family's thousand-year-old prestige!

"Oh."

Ji Wuming let out a cold laugh and finally spoke up himself.

His voice carried an innate, unquestionable domineering quality.

"I'll give you a chance to live."

He raised his chin and looked down at Su Bai with the disdainful gaze one would give an ant.

"Kneel down, cut off your own arms, and then crawl out of here like a dog."

"In that case, I might spare your life."

Upon hearing this, the Ji family members behind him revealed cruel smiles, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Su Bai.

In their eyes, the lives and deaths of ordinary people outside are entirely at their discretion.

Only then did Su Bai finally slowly shift his gaze away from the Shennong Cauldron.

He looked at the self-important young man, his deep eyes remaining completely calm.

Then, he parted his thin lips slightly and softly uttered two words.

"Noisy."
