It turns out, they were the main characters.

After a moment, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

They truly deserve to be called 'people of great fortune'. The cultivators here either accidentally triggered the mechanisms and died suddenly, or they are still running into obstacles everywhere, struggling to find the core area of ​​the Abyss.

Only Ye Yu had found the correct route and entered the true core area.

Is this also a blessing from Heaven?

However, Ye Yu's knowledge of the core area of ​​the Abyss also means that he can follow the route taken by the Treasure-Seeking Rat to reach the core area.

……

As Mu Zhi'an continued to venture deeper, the number of cultivators in the vicinity dwindled. Along the way, Mu Zhi'an occasionally spotted groups of cultivators, all of whom were covered in dense, terrifying curses.

Clearly, the deeper one goes, the more terrifying the curse becomes. Without the protection of the treasure map fragments of the Chaos Land, venturing into this core area rashly will quickly lead to a violent death.

Throughout his journey, Mu Zhian encountered no danger whatsoever.

After all, the path he was taking was the same one Ye Yu had taken before, and Ye Yu had already cleared away any dangers along the way.

As time passed, Mu Zhian flew slowly along the path Ye Yu had previously taken, and thick black fog gradually appeared before his eyes.

The deeper Mu Zhian went, the more amazed he became. Ye Yu's luck was simply too exaggerated. He had been suppressed by him several times, yet he still had such incredible luck.

On his way here, he clearly saw that there were extremely dangerous arrays and mechanisms in the surrounding black mist, and he could easily trigger them if he was not careful.

As a result, Ye Yu managed to find the most correct path among so many dangerous mechanisms, and has already gone deep into the deepest part of the Abyss.

But after sighing for a while, Mu Zhian's expression became much more serious.

From the moment he stepped into this black mist, he felt a certain pull within his body.

Something was calling to him from the depths of this abyss!

……

laugh!

With a fierce look in his eyes, Ye Yu cleaved the 'doll' blocking his way with a single sword strike, grabbed the ancient key that had fallen from the doll, and gasped for breath.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the gate of the Abyss Palace, which was just inches away.

"We've finally reached the deepest part of the Abyss!"

At this moment, Ye Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, though he was exhausted, his expression was filled with ecstasy.

Along the way, he overcame numerous obstacles, experienced terrifying beast tides, slew demon cultivators, and even dealt with many Eastern Continent cultivators who were extremely hostile towards him. He also unraveled the secrets of this abyss and finally arrived at his destination.

Outside the palace, a thick black mist hung in the air, creating a chilling and damp atmosphere. The skeletal remains of many fallen cultivators could be seen nearby.

At the far end ahead lies the bronze gate of the Abyss Palace, and the key in his hand is the key to open that bronze gate!

"If I'm not mistaken, the immortal opportunity we're seeking is right here in this Abyss Palace."

The old man's voice echoed in Ye Yu's mind, his tone filled with satisfaction.

To be honest, he didn't think Ye Yu could get this far at first, but as it turns out, Ye Yu is full of potential and has created one impossible miracle after another.

"It's a pity Mu Zhian isn't here, otherwise we could have taken this opportunity to get rid of him," Ye Yu said in a low voice, his tone tinged with regret.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the inheritance in this Abyss is likely left by a powerful Dao-Merging expert from ancient times. Once you obtain his inheritance, dealing with Mu Zhian in the future will be incredibly easy,” Yao Shan said.

"What the teacher says is true. The most urgent matter now is the celestial connection within this palace!"

Ye Yu's face lit up with joy. He gripped the key and walked toward the ancient bronze gate.

He felt increasingly fortunate that he had chosen Yao Shan. Although Ye Qingxin was an ancestor of the Ye family, she favored an outsider. Only his teacher would help him unconditionally.

Ye Yu arrived at the bronze gate, inserted the key into the lock, and suddenly raised his head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "After leaving here, I will make my ancestors regret their past choices!"

If her ancestor had followed him, she could have continued her weakened spiritual consciousness, but by following Mu Zhian, she would gain nothing.

Boom...

A terrifying tremor suddenly came from behind the bronze gate.

As the joy gradually appeared on Ye Yu's face, the scene inside the bronze giant gate gradually came into his view.

……

A light appeared before my eyes.

It was a faint white light.

Bathed in white light, Ye Yu's heart pounded uncontrollably, and his eyes lit up with ecstasy. He almost blurted out, "The Qi of Heaven!"

Yes, the treasure in this Abyss Palace is actually the Qi of Heaven!

He already possessed an aura of the Heavenly Dao, and right now he could clearly sense just how dense that aura was within the palace.

There were three portions of the Heavenly Dao's energy deep within this palace!

Ye Yu quickened his pace and entered the palace almost impatiently; the only sound in the vast palace was his hurried footsteps.

At the end of the palace was a very ancient-looking coffin, and the aura of the three Heavenly Dao emanated from this coffin.

"Be careful, we can't be careless at times like this," Yao Shan immediately advised Ye Yu.

This place is too eerie; Ye Yu could die here if he's not careful.

His current spiritual consciousness is too weak; if Ye Yu dies, he won't fare much better.

"I know, I will be careful!"

Ye Yu quickly calmed down. As he slowly approached, he carefully monitored his surroundings with his spiritual sense, and finally arrived in front of the coffin.

He raised his palm, channeled his spiritual energy, and reached out to grab the coffin.

crunch.

The coffin slowly opened, and the light before our eyes grew increasingly blinding.

With a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, Ye Yu looked into the coffin, eager to take the three portions of Heavenly Dao Qi with him.

However, when his gaze fell upon that spot, the joy on his face slowly froze.

There was nothing inside the coffin except for the lingering aura of the Heavenly Dao.

Inside the coffin, there was also a drop of semen.

The essence blood exuded an extremely terrifying aura. The moment Ye Yu stared at it, he felt as if he were staring into an abyss. His heart trembled violently, and he stumbled backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He stood frozen, leaning against the stone pillar, staring blankly at the ancient coffin, muttering to himself in disbelief, "How could this be...?"

"...Where is my Heavenly Dao Qi?"

At that moment, his eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

There should have been three portions of Heavenly Dao Qi here, but now they are all gone!

"Could it be that someone has already taken away three portions of Heavenly Dao Qi before me? But how is that possible? I should be the first person to arrive here..." Ye Yu murmured to himself.

Moreover, a person can only withstand one portion of the Heavenly Dao Qi at most. He has a magic treasure that can store the Heavenly Dao Qi, but it should be impossible for others to do so.

"Relax your spiritual senses for now. I need to use your body to see the layout here," Yao Shan said solemnly.

Then, his consciousness took over Ye Yu's body, his expression solemn as he stared at the empty coffin.

After a moment, Yao Shan's expression slowly froze, and a rare look of fear appeared on his face: "No... there was once a woman sealed in this coffin. She may have left this palace after she woke up."

“She may have taken those three portions of Heavenly Dao Qi as well!” Yao Shan said with almost certainty.

"After the woman in the coffin awoke, she took away three portions of the Heavenly Dao's energy?" Ye Yu muttered to himself in astonishment, then hurriedly asked, "Teacher, do you know who the owner of this coffin is?"

Yao Shan glanced at the drop of essence blood in the coffin, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "I don't know... However, even in my prime, I have never seen anyone's essence blood possess such divinity."

"Even if I were to touch this drop of essence blood now, I would probably be instantly annihilated."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was shocked, his face turned deathly pale, and he felt goosebumps creeping up his body.

Even the teacher is so wary... Just how terrifying must the identity of the person in this coffin be?

He had been secretly cursing the owner of the coffin for taking away three portions of the Heavenly Dao's energy, but now he could only feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the owner of the coffin is no longer here; otherwise, if they knew that someone had trespassed on His dwelling place, I wonder if they would have punished them.

In a place like this, just surviving is already a stroke of luck.

Ye Yu was secretly rejoicing when Yao Shan suddenly seemed to sense something and whispered, "Someone else has entered this palace."

"How is that possible?!" Ye Yu almost blurted out.

His ability to arrive here so quickly can be attributed to a confluence of favorable circumstances. If given another chance, he might not be able to reach the palace of the Abyss so safely and quickly.

But now someone else has arrived at this palace just like him?

"It seems we're both a step too late."

At that moment, Ye Yu suddenly heard a clear and gentle male voice coming from behind him.

The moment the voice fell, Ye Yu was stunned for a moment. Then, as if in slow motion, his eyes widened and he turned his head sharply.

"Mu Zhian...?"

"How is this possible? How could you have gotten to this palace so quickly?!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes as he stared at the handsome man before him and said in a chilling voice, "You were following me?!"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said gently, "Brother Ye, you misunderstand. I have encountered a lot of trouble along the way, and I didn't know you were here. It was all just a coincidence."

"Mu Zhian, stop pretending. If you weren't following me, how could you have gotten here so quickly!" Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhian, his tone icy, but he forced himself to remain rational.

This palace is too strange. Although the owner of the coffin has left, he may return at any time. Moreover, he has consumed a lot of spiritual energy on the way, so he may not be a match for Mu Zhian.

“Brother Ye, there’s actually been some misunderstanding between us… but now is not the time to explain. Brother Ye, you shouldn’t mind if I also seek my own destiny in the immortal realm, right?” Mu Zhi’an asked with a smile.

Ye Yu's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

The immortal energy in this palace is the Qi of Heaven, but now all three portions of the Qi of Heaven have been taken away by the mysterious owner of the coffin, and there is nothing left here at all.

Who knows, Mu Zhian might even trigger some kind of array mechanism and die suddenly...

Seeing that Ye Yu remained silent, Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes slightly, and held his breath.

From the very beginning, he had felt as if something was pulling him through his body, and this feeling became even stronger as he stepped into the palace.

Almost immediately, Mu Zhian opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the ancient coffin at the end of the palace.

"You stupid idiot who's asking for death."
