An ancient ruin that could make an Immortal Emperor Elder take it so seriously was clearly not simple.

At the very least, it was an ancient sect ruin of the Immortal Emperor level, and its foundations were absolutely extraordinary.

Since it was an ancient sect ruin, it was highly likely to contain treasures left behind by ancient Immortals.

Perhaps it was a lost Dao Law secret art, or a high-grade Dao Artifact, or even rare immortal herbs and pill formulas.

It might even contain the materials needed for the Dao Condensation Pill, which he urgently required at this moment.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong’s anticipation grew even stronger, and he was full of yearning for this ruin expedition.

Just as Fang Hong was contemplating the relevant matters of this expedition, he received another message, sent by Su Shan.

The message was very simple, asking him if he wanted to participate in this ruin expedition in the Burial Demon Mountain Range.

Fang Hong didn’t hesitate at all, immediately extinguished his Dao Fire, stopped alchemy, and with a flash of his figure, instantly left the alchemy room.

In the next moment, he appeared in an elegant pavilion.

At this moment, two people were already waiting inside the pavilion; one of them was Su Shan, who was sitting on a stone chair.

And on another stone chair beside Su Shan, sat a woman dressed in green, with an elegant temperament.

This green-robed woman was Qing Ying, also known as Azure Emperor, Su Shan’s master from the Lower Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, it’s truly been a long time!" Fang Hong greeted her with a hearty smile.

Fang Hong’s gaze swept over Qing Ying, and he could clearly see her Cultivation base; she was also at the peak Immortal King Realm, with a stable and profound aura.

Upon closer perception, he could also detect three distinct elemental forces of wood, metal, and fire flowing within her body.

Clearly, Qing Ying only Cultivated three great Dao Laws, which was far less than Fang Hong and Su Shan.

"It’s been a long time. To meet my disciple and Fellow Daoist Fang in the Immortal Realm is truly one of the great fortunes of life."

Qing Ying looked at the two familiar faces before her, her eyes filled with emotion.

The three of them had been old acquaintances since the Lower Realm, considered old friends with deep affection.

Now reunited in the Immortal Realm, they naturally felt exceptionally close.

"Husband, are we going on this ruin expedition?" Su Shan stood beside Fang Hong, her beautiful eyes holding a hint of anticipation, and asked softly.

"Yes, of course, we’re going."

"Even Immortal Emperor-level Elders have been alerted; there must be a huge opportunity hidden within this ruin. Wouldn’t it be a pity to miss it?" Fang Hong nodded without hesitation.

Su Shan and Qing Ying also nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

They shared the same thought; such a rare opportunity should naturally not be missed.

Afterward, the three of them said no more and headed together towards the direction of the Book Sea peak Plaza.

Before long, the three of them took a teleportation array and arrived at the Book Sea peak Plaza.

At a corner of the plaza at this time, many figures had already gathered.

Upon closer inspection, there were Immortal King Elders as well as Grand Unity Inner Sect Disciples.

They stood in groups of two or three, conversing in low voices, clearly all here for this ruin expedition.

Fang Hong and the other two found a relatively quiet corner to stand, patiently waiting for the moment to depart for the Burial Demon Mountain Range.

Speaking of the Burial Demon Mountain Range, Fang Hong had heard of it.

It is located at the border between Azure Cloud Province and Sword River Province, a notoriously dangerous place.

Within the mountain range, countless Vicious Beasts that have existed since ancient times are entrenched.

These Vicious Beasts are all immensely powerful and possess violent, bloodthirsty temperaments.

Even Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses dare not easily venture deep into the mountain range, fearing unforeseen dangers.

As time passed, more and more Immortal King Elders and Inner Sect Disciples gathered in the plaza.

By the eve of departure, when the numbers were counted, it was found that there were as many as fifty Immortal King Elders and over two hundred Grand Unity Inner Sect Disciples who had arrived.

These Immortal King Elders were almost uniformly at the peak Immortal King Realm, just one step away from the Immortal Emperor realm.

They clearly wanted to use the opportunity in the ruin to break through their bottleneck and advance further.

And those Grand Unity Inner Sect Disciples were all at Peak Grand Unity strength, eager to obtain Heaven And Earth Treasure in the ruin and break through to the Immortal King Realm as soon as possible.

Just as the Everyone were patiently waiting, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the plaza without any warning.

One of them was a Blue-robed strongman, tall and robust, standing like an iron tower in mid-air, exuding a powerful and domineering aura.

The other was a Gray-robed Old Man, with a kindly face and deep eyes, seemingly ordinary, yet giving off an unfathomable feeling.

As soon as these two appeared, a majestic and vast pressure slowly spread from high in the sky, like an invisible giant wave, sweeping across the entire plaza!

Even Fang Hong, who had already reached the Peak Immortal King, couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart under this pressure!

Fang Hong was secretly astonished; the auras of these two Elders were several times stronger than those of Sun Cheng and Elder Huang Da, whom he had met during the last entrance examination.

Without a doubt, these two must be Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, and it was even possible that they had reached the Late Stage Immortal Emperor, or even the peak Immortal Emperor realm.

"Greetings, Elders."

All the Cultivators in the plaza, whether Immortal King Elders or Inner Sect Disciples, all looked solemn and bowed in unison. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Hmm, no need for formalities." The Gray-robed Old Man nodded slightly.

"I am Bao Yong’an, and this is Elder Niu Guanghao."

"This ruin expedition to the Burial Demon Mountain Range will be led by the two of us. Now, let’s depart immediately." The Gray-robed Old Man first introduced himself and the Blue-robed strongman beside him.

As soon as his voice fell, Elder Bao Yong’an took out a palm-sized bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror was simple and unadorned, with some patterns carved on its edges.

As soon as it was taken out, it emitted waves of spatial fluctuations, clearly a spatial Dao Artifact of no low grade.

Elder Bao condensed a brilliant golden light on his fingertip and gently struck it towards the bronze mirror.

In an instant, the palm-sized bronze mirror rapidly grew against the wind, becoming taller than an adult in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the mirror’s surface.

Within the golden light, a deep spatial passage slowly emerged, and powerful spatial energy emanated from the entrance of the passage.

After the spatial passage completely stabilized, Elder Bao Yong’an and Elder Niu Guanghao exchanged glances and simultaneously waved their hands.

Two majestic immortal forces, like invisible giant hands, swept up all the Immortal King Elders and Inner Sect Disciples present.

"Whoosh!"

With a soft sound, the Everyone transformed into a golden light, like a meteor, and drilled into the spatial passage.

Immediately afterward, the bronze mirror flashed and disappeared from the sky above the plaza, as if it had never appeared... Inside the spatial passage, it was a chaotic blur, surrounded by twisted spatial turbulence.

Elder Bao Yong’an and Elder Niu Guanghao, the two Immortal Emperor Elders, one in front and one behind, released powerful immortal force shields.

They protected all the disciples and Elders within, isolating them from the violent spatial energy inside the passage.
