Jun Xiaoyao had previously believed that since the master sacrificial token was a ten-star reward, it would undoubtedly have a significant use.
He hadn't expected its usefulness to appear so soon.
He absolutely had to go to the Immortal Altar.
Because it was highly likely he could uncover secrets regarding the Chief Priest there.
Jun Xiaoyao's mind was active, but his expression remained calm.
Probably no one would have guessed that the greatest Opportunity in the Gui Xu Land could only be activated by Jun Xiaoyao.
He would get the meat, while others, like Chang Sheng Emperor, might not even get a sip of the soup.
"Alright, let's go in too."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
This trip was a sure thing.
And just as Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the Gui Xu Land, his Divine Thought sensed that other Prodigies had also entered, and they had clearly concealed their Qi.
"Three Heavenly Princes of the Underworld…"
Jun Xiaoyao sneered inwardly, not wanting to alert them.
Since they were offering themselves up, he would reluctantly accept.
As Jun Xiaoyao took a step into the Gui Xu Land, the scenery before him instantly changed.
When his vision cleared again, he was already inside the Gui Xu Land.
Looking around, it was an ancient, dead silence.
The surrounding Universe Star Domain was incredibly deep, as if frozen, unmoving through eternity.
Time here seemed to slow down, carrying a sense of historical dust and Sense of vicissitudes (Sense of vicissitudes - a sense of vicissitude/desolation).
Many broken celestial bodies floated in the surrounding world.
Ancient Void Realm cracks had not healed for several epochs.
There were also unknown remains, like fossils, still exuding a chilling pressure.
This was a solemn sacrificial land, imbued with an ancient ominousness.
"Is this really where the Gate to Immortality descends?"
Jun Xiaoyao showed a look of suspicion.
Logically, anything related to Immortals should be incredibly transcendent.
Yet, this place resembled an ominous sacrificial ground.
Was what lay beyond the Gate to Immortality truly a path to the Immortal Realm?
Jun Xiaoyao harbored doubts.
Perhaps there was a shocking secret within, one that even the Chief Priest might not fully understand.
After all, even the Chief Priest had never entered the deepest part of the Gate to Immortality.
"The land of Immortal Ascension should be auspicious, yet this place is so strange and eerie."
"And that Immortal Altar, the sacrificial ceremony… I feel like it's not about Immortal Ascension, but about becoming a demon?"
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
These ancient secrets were unknown to ordinary people and could never be recorded in history books.
Therefore, the truth could only be learned when the Gate to Immortality descended in the future.
What Jun Xiaoyao needed to do now was to scour the Gui Xu Land for Opportunities.
Ye Guchen, Kun Xuzi, and others were not by his side.
Apparently, the Gui Xu Land had its own spatial rules.
Everyone who entered would be randomly placed in different locations.
Jun Xiaoyao activated his Divine Thought, trying to perceive the surrounding situation with his Divine Soul.
However, he found that the range of his Divine Thought had been greatly reduced.
One must know that with Jun Xiaoyao's current Ganges Grade Primordial Spirit, sweeping across a Star Domain in a single thought was completely effortless.
Yet, in the Gui Xu Land, he was severely restricted.
"This place is indeed strange, isolated from the Immortal Domain's rules, no wonder it's so mysterious."
Jun Xiaoyao began to advance, relying on his limited perception.
The System's sign-in prompt did not sound in his mind.
Clearly, this was still only the outer area of the Gui Xu Land; he would only be able to sign in after truly entering the core.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind, as he intended to go to the deepest part anyway, for the Immortal Altar was located at that core point.
Jun Xiaoyao's figure moved through the Gui Xu Land.
The surroundings were silent, with a peculiar strangeness.
However, Jun Xiaoyao had ventured through all sorts of places, so naturally, no fear appeared in him.
Suddenly, a scream came from afar.
Jun Xiaoyao looked and saw a Nine Heavens Prodigy had accidentally fallen into a mire.
His Physical Body rotted at a visible speed.
In just a few dozen breaths, he turned into a pool of putrid black water, merging into the mire.
"No wonder cannon fodder and small fries are needed; this place is indeed strange everywhere."
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, with no pity in his eyes.
To gain something, one must always take risks.
Losing one's life was a perfectly normal occurrence.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao encountered more strangeness.
An inconspicuous piece of yellow mud, accidentally stepped on by a Cultivator, turned into blood.
There were withered branches with dried ancient corpses hanging from them, existing for an unknown number of years.
The deeper Jun Xiaoyao went, the more he felt like this was a demonic land.
Did it have anything to do with Immortal Ascension?
"Could it be that the Chief Priest's immense sins from sacrificing all living beings in the Immortal Domain caused the auspicious land of Immortal Ascension to become a demonic land?"
Jun Xiaoyao pondered.
It wasn't impossible.
Karma, such things truly existed.
Yuan Che's Innate great Karma was a vivid example.
However, because the Chief Priest was too powerful, even the resentment, sins, and curses of all living beings in the Immortal Domain combined could not harm the Chief Priest; they could bear this Karma.
But Jun Xiaoyao believed that these accumulated sins would eventually have a backlash one day.
And at that time, it would be the best Opportunity to defeat the Chief Priest.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao's mind was racing, he suddenly felt a faint Law fluctuation.
In the Gui Xu Land, although the range of Divine Thought exploration was greatly reduced, Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Thought far surpassed his peers.
Therefore, his perception range was still wider than others.
"Could it be the Rune Secret Ground?"
Before entering, Kun Xuzi had mentioned it.
Within the Gui Xu Land, there was a Rune Secret Ground.
Although it was filled with strangeness and ominousness, it was an excellent place to comprehend Law.
Jun Xiaoyao's mind shifted, and he immediately headed towards that area.
Upon nearing it, Jun Xiaoyao discovered that it was a sunken basin.
Thick fog permeated it, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, Jun Xiaoyao could feel that in its deepest part, the power of Rune Law circulated, reflecting in the Void Realm, extremely profound.
Without hesitation, Jun Xiaoyao stepped directly into it.
Jun Xiaoyao had casually ventured into even the seven wonders of the Immortal Domain, let alone a place like this.
And just as Jun Xiaoyao delved deeper, a shadow suddenly appeared not far away.
A cold, eerie voice rang out.
"Daring to enter such a place is seeking death, but it's perfect; there's no need for Emperor to act, I can deal with you myself…"
This figure was none other than Celestial Maiden Changsheng!
…
After entering the Rune Secret Ground, Jun Xiaoyao discovered that the vast fog also had the effect of isolating the Divine Soul.
His perception range was reduced once again.
The surroundings were shrouded in dense mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
An ordinary person would indeed easily feel unnerved, a sense of unease.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and found that he stood motionless.
"Your Excellency, you…"
Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand to probe.
The figure immediately stiffened and fell!
"Only the Physical Body remains; the Primordial Spirit has dissipated."
Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
This was a Prodigy who had entered with them, and he had inexplicably perished like this.
Jun Xiaoyao continued to delve deeper.
The corpses ahead became more numerous.
A few were newly entered, clearly disbelieving and wanting to try their luck in the Rune Secret Ground, but instead perished here.
There were even more ancient corpses, some not even from this epoch, having perished here long ago.
"So many corpses…"
Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brow slightly.
And just then, a dark shadow suddenly attacked him!
