Let me explain, it's not what you think.

Lu Chen and the other man worked together so well that no one noticed that the fairy milk had already been taken away.

I don't know if it's because of Lin Tian's protagonist halo.

The two quickly arrived at the weak point of the spatial rift in the southeast. Lin Tian took out a jade talisman, crushed it, and a white light enveloped the two of them, instantly teleporting them hundreds of feet away.

By the time they regained their footing, they were already far from the core battlefield.

Not long after, Yunshang also broke free and caught up. Several tears appeared on her scarlet dress, but her aura remained calm.

A few breaths later, Tantai Qingxue, Yue Qinglan, Li Fei, Tang Qianqian, and Lu Nianshang arrived one after another, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you get the Immortal Milk?" Yunshang asked.

Lin Tian handed her the jade gourd, and Yunshang took it, weighed it in her hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

She divided the magic milk in the gourd into several portions, one for each person.

When it was Lu Nianshang's turn, the little girl held the jade bottle, her eyes sparkling, and couldn't wait to uncork it and pour it into her mouth.

Then, in less than three breaths, her hands were empty.

As everyone looked at her, their expressions slowly shifted from relief to confusion.

Lu Nianchang herself was also stunned for a moment. She looked down at the empty bottle, then looked up at everyone, blinking uncertainly.

"Why... can't I feel anything?"

Yunshang took the empty bottle from her hand, looked at it, then checked her meridians, sighed, and put the bottle aside, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and pride.

"You little rascal, your talent has already reached its peak! The Heavenly Elixir is meant to replenish what's lacking in your innate constitution, but you don't have any deficiency, so there's nothing it can replenish. Therefore, this stuff is like drinking water to you!"

"..."

The crowd remained silent for a long while.

Especially Tang Qianqian.

She looked at the bottle of fairy milk in her hand, then at Lu Nianchang's innocent little face, and suddenly felt that all the beatings she had taken along the way had been for nothing, and that she was even... somewhat superfluous in this team.

Li Fei and Lin Tian also fell silent. The things they had just managed to snatch from a group of Transcending Tribulation Mahayana cultivators through a desperate scheme turned out to be of no use to them at all!

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

"Who did Nian Chang inherit her talent from?"

All eyes turned to Lu Chen at the same time.

Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "Don't look at me. I have five elemental roots, so my cultivation is very slow. I obviously take after her mother."

"It's because the child is determined to succeed."

Yunshang didn't say much, but simply reached out and tucked the stray hairs from Lu Nianshang's forehead behind her ear.

"Alright, keep your immortal milk safe. We can't stay here any longer. Once those people realize their immortal milk is gone, they'll probably go crazy. We need to leave quickly."

"Um!"

Everyone nodded, choosing not to absorb or refine it.

"Father, are we still going to the core depths to retrieve the Primordial Void Dao Seed?"

"Of course, this is the most important thing here, we still have to give it a try!" Lin Tian immediately said.

"Oh, then I won't go. I have my own path and won't need it," Lu Nianchang said.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, Nian Chang, you're still young. There's no need for you to take any more risks. You can take risks when you're stronger."

"Well then, I'll go and disband the Joyful Union Sect!"

"Good, what a good child!"

"Since Nian Chang isn't going, then we won't go either. Our cultivation isn't strong enough, so we won't be a burden to you."

Yue Qinglan and Tantai Qingxue also came over.

"Alright."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Nianchang, Yue Qinglan, and the others left together.

"We'll go see the kids off, you guys just wait here for me!" Lu Chen said, taking Yunshang's hand and chasing after them.

When Lu Chen returned, he was the only one left.

He took the three women into the Shenyu Realm, while Lu Nianchang went out into the outside world to prepare to disband the Hehuan Sect.

"Let's go, let's go see this so-called Tai Xu Dao Seed!"

"Um!"

……

the other side.

Lu Nianchang quickly returned to the Hehuan Sect's temporary base.

Niu Meier and He Jiu and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Sect Master, you're back! Where is the Sect Master?"

"Yes, my mother... has lost interest in the sect's affairs, so from now on, I am the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect!"

"??!"

Although the two were shocked, the young sect leader had already seized power many years ago, and whether the sect leader was still in the sect or not was no longer up to him. They had also gotten used to Lu Nianshang being in charge.

"So, should we evacuate now?"

"That's right, but this place is too dangerous. I'm a little worried about Father's safety!"

"What does the sect leader mean?"

"Call over those aunties who are at the Tribulation Transcending stage! Tell them my father is here!"

Niu Meier: "..."

Are you sure you're not just after the rewards they have? So you can sacrifice Lu Chen?

She was so filial, truly filial.

No wonder the young sect leader... the sect leader's resources are increasing. So that's how they are obtained. Could this be the legendary saying that filial piety leads to power?

"But... the former sect leader is still here, won't she get hurt?"

"Don't worry, my father will protect her. Don't ask any more questions. While you're at it, go find out where there are bounties on my father's head in other places, and provide all the clues. I want all the rewards!"

The girl's eyes shone brightly.

The two: "..."

……

After leaving the Immortal Milk area, Lu Chen and his companions continued their journey towards the deepest part of the valley.

The further in you go, the thicker the white fog becomes, until it becomes so thick that it almost solidifies.

This forced everyone to activate the Five Elements spiritual light to create a thin protective shield on their bodies, otherwise even breathing felt difficult.

The spiritual energy in the air was so dense that it was unbelievable. Every breath felt like swallowing scalding hot spiritual liquid, and the meridians were stretched and swelled slightly.

However, this spiritual energy was mixed with other ancient powers, which prevented them from using or transforming it.

In contrast, there is spiritual pressure.

A vast and ancient pressure descended from all directions, varying in strength, layer upon layer, like an invisible ocean, firmly enveloping the four of them.

Tang Qianqian walked beside Lu Chen, her complexion much better than before, but her brows remained furrowed.

"The spiritual creatures here are far stronger than those in the outer areas. I can sense at least a dozen of them with auras superior to ours."

"Yes, this is a top-level secret realm. We are only at the Mahayana stage. We must be even more cautious after we go there!"

The four continued forward, and the ground beneath their feet gradually changed from jade to a kind of pitch-black rock with a smooth, mirror-like surface. A dark red light could be faintly seen flowing slowly beneath, like the veins of this valley.

The further you go, the brighter the glow of the "vessels" on the ground becomes, and the temperature in the air also rises, as if something is burning deep underground.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen subconsciously frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In the original story, Lin Tian obtained the treasure very easily.

But now, looking at these things, he always felt that there was a "big hand" behind them!

"I hope it's just my imagination."
