Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

"Is this... a fairy?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the beautiful fairy who had suddenly appeared, their faces filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

Lu Chen was also filled with excitement at this moment.

It wasn't because of Weiwei's appearance, but because she was thinking that she was finally about to truly come into contact with cultivation.

"Who are you people, and what are you doing here?"

Weiwei's voice was like a clear spring, crisp yet with a touch of the soft, gentle quality of a woman from Jiangnan.

"We are a group of people in distress. Are you a fairy? Can you save us?"

One of the female students spoke emotionally, her voice trembling with tears.

"Have you entered the ancient forbidden land?"

Weiwei landed and stood in front of everyone, then asked a question.

"Yes, that's where we escaped from."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"You guys are really lucky to have made it out alive."

Weiwei spoke with slight surprise, but stopped abruptly when her gaze swept over Lu Chen, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo.

"Did you eat a kind of red fruit inside? It was bright red and glistening with moisture, almost translucent?"

Weiwei asked, her breathing slightly rapid.

"Yes, when the three of us were looking for food, we saw some small trees with these red fruits growing on them. We were so hungry at the time that we didn't think too much about it and just shared them and ate them."

Lu Chen didn't hide anything and spoke the truth.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded in agreement.

Lu Chen and the others had already discussed this matter and never intended to hide it.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Weiwei's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she scanned Lu Chen and the other two as if examining a precious treasure.

"My fairy, is it possible for our appearances to be restored?"

Li Xiaoman asked with a look of anticipation.

"I'm not too sure about that either."

"But the fact that you managed to come out of there alive is already an incredible stroke of luck."

"Alright, let me take you out first."

With a gentle wave of her hand, Weiwei unleashed a rainbow of light that enveloped everyone in the mountains, lifting them slowly into the air to stand beside her.

Afterwards, Weiwei led everyone and flew for more than an hour before leaving the desolate forest.

During this time, everyone gained a general understanding of the place from Weiwei's words.

The area adjacent to the desolate ancient forbidden land is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom is two thousand miles long from north to south and three thousand miles long from east to west. However, such a large Yan Kingdom is just a drop in the ocean in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Beyond the Eastern Wilderness, there are four other regions of similar size: Central Plains, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, and Northern Plains.

At this point, no one could imagine just how enormous this planet was.

When Weiwei heard everyone mention the ruins of the Heavenly Palace they had seen in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she was also quite shocked.

Not long after leaving the wilderness, Vivi led everyone to a small town.

Upon seeing Weiwei's figure, several streaks of rainbow light immediately flew out from the town, each containing a human figure.

"Weiwei's back?"

"Who are they?"

One of the elderly men asked with a puzzled look on his face.

After hearing Weiwei's introduction, the group of elderly men's eyes lit up instantly, and they immediately came to Lu Chen and the others to take a look.

"Excellent! As expected, the seas of suffering within their bodies have been activated; they are all promising talents for cultivation!"

After the inspection, the elderly men all burst into laughter.

Then the group focused their attention on Lu Chen and his two companions.

After all, the other classmates are now in their seventies or eighties, while the three of them look only thirteen or fourteen years old, so they naturally stand out.

At this moment, Weiwei began to recount the experiences of Lu Chen and the other two, and the elders all showed incredulous expressions after hearing it.

"Sacred fruit?"

"You're saying the three of them ate the sacred fruit?"

One of the elders approached Lu Chen and his companions, scrutinizing them closely, and said with an incredulous expression:

"Within the ancient forbidden land, nine sacred mountains surround the ancient abyss. Legend has it that each sacred mountain has a divine spring and a strange sacred fruit. There are nine divine springs and nine sacred fruits in total. Obtaining one will allow one to be reborn."

"But... how could a few mortals like them possibly get close to that place?"

"Why are you dressed so strangely? What is your origin?"

The old men stared intently at Lu Chen and his companions, their eyes sharp as lightning, and asked.

Lu Chen and the others immediately repeated what they had said to Weiwei earlier.

"Arrived via an array?"

"Judging from the objects in your hands, they all seem to be Buddhist items. Could it be that you come from the Western Desert?"

One of the elders glanced at the items in Lu Chen's hands and made a guess.

"The Western Desert is tens of thousands of miles away from here. For that formation to teleport you such a distance, it must be quite extraordinary!"

Another old man chimed in.

"Alright, it's fate that we met."

"Are you all willing to become disciples of my Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven?"

An elderly man at the head of the group then spoke up.

"this……"

Faced with the old man's question, everyone was unsure whether to agree or not.

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, the old man spoke again:

"My Lingxu Grotto-Heaven is one of the six great grotto-heavens of the Yan Kingdom, and it is backed by a renowned holy land."

"If you perform exceptionally well in the future, you may be selected to be sent to that holy land."

"For example, Weiwei is a rare genius who has not appeared in my Lingxu Cave Heaven for a thousand years. Soon she will be selected as a seedling of immortality and sent to the Holy Land."

"Have you thought it through?"

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside:

"Your Lingxu Cave Heaven isn't strong enough. If you have any talented individuals, feel free to send them to our 'Cave Heaven.' I heard you've discovered dozens of promising cultivators?"

"Why didn't you invite us to see it together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people dressed in various styles walked into the hall.

Lu Chen was naturally aware of the situation: the other five great grotto-heavens had come to snatch people away.

Regarding the matter of entering the grotto heaven, if possible, Lu Chen would not want to enter the Spirit Ruins Grotto Heaven.

After all, the sacred land behind Lingxu Cave Heaven is the most deceptive Yao Guang Sacred Land.

However, given the current situation, it's not up to Lu Chen to decide which grotto-heaven he wants to enter.

The outcome was similar to that in the original story: after some back and forth, the major grotto-heavens finally decided to resolve the matter by force.

After a series of flashy fights, many people were left with some injuries. The blood on the shoulder of Liu Wanshan, the previously domineering middle-aged man, was still wet. Ma Yun, who had a dignified and otherworldly air, had his flowing white beard cut off. The cane in the hand of the white-haired old woman Li Ying was also broken in two.

In the end, Vivi emerged victorious.
