Fang Hong and Su Shan exchanged a smile, not offering much explanation for Qing Ying’s exclamation.

Subsequently, Fang Hong unleashed his Void Secret Technique, causing the bodhi dao tree not far away to slowly rise from the ground, enveloped by a force of space, and transplanted it into the Years Pearl Space.

Such a precious tree, containing endless Dao Rhyme, would truly be a waste to leave behind unattended.

It would be better to use the special environment of the years pearl to carefully cultivate it, allowing it to grow even better.

The bodhi dao tree takes one hundred thousand years to bear fruit, which is undoubtedly an extremely long period for ordinary Cultivators.

Few Cultivators can patiently wait for it to mature and bear fruit.

But for Fang Hong, who possesses the years pearl, the situation is completely different.

He only needs to use the Divine Power of the years pearl to accelerate the growth process of the bodhi dao tree, and in just a short ten years, it can successfully bear the bodhi dao fruit.

In fact, the greatest benefit of this bodhi dao fruit is its ability to help Cultivators consolidate their Dao foundation, providing powerful assistance for breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Whether the Dao foundation is stable or not is directly related to the success rate of a Cultivator advancing to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Many Peak Immortal King Cultivators are stuck at the threshold of the Immortal Emperor Realm, unable to make progress, often because they cannot consolidate their Dao foundation.

However, once the cultivation successfully breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, the value of this bodhi dao fruit will drop significantly.

It won’t be of much use to Cultivators at the Immortal Emperor level.

The reason Fang Hong wants to cultivate the bodhi dao fruit is that he intends to store it away properly.

If there is a need in the future, the bodhi dao fruit can be used as a bargaining chip in trades to exchange for treasures or resources he needs more.

After successfully collecting the bodhi dao tree, the three of them did not linger and immediately left the area, continuing to wander through the vast mountains and forests.

With the thought of treasure hunting, they hoped to find more rare and precious items within these ruins.

After searching in the mountains and forests for another two days, the three of them crossed mountains and ridges, and unknowingly, they successfully passed through this vast forest.

At the end of the mountains and forests, an ancient city suddenly appeared in the sight of the three of them.

In the city, one could faintly see many antique pavilions and palaces, exuding a mysterious and solemn aura.

"There is actually an ancient city ahead! In my opinion, this might be the true core area of these ruins!" Qing Ying pointed to the ancient city ahead, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Susan nodded in agreement: "We have already harvested quite a few treasures along the way. Since this ancient city is the core of the ruins, it must hide even more precious treasures inside!"

"Let’s go, let’s hurry over and take a look to see if we can make even bigger discoveries!"

Fang Hong was also full of excitement and led the way toward the ancient city.

The three of them were rushing towards the ancient city, wanting to explore its mysteries and find more treasures.

But just at this moment, four pillars of light suddenly shot up from the direction of the ancient city, piercing straight into the sky, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated half the sky.

Accompanying the appearance of the pillars of light, four incomparably tyrannical and terrifying auras also spread out!

In just an instant, it had already enveloped the location where the three of them were.

"Such... such a powerful aura! This pressure is too terrifying!"

Feeling the aura rushing towards her, Susan’s expression changed instantly, becoming extremely serious.

Qing Ying’s reaction was similar, her face filled with horror: "These four auras are so familiar; they are being unleashed by those four Elders of the Dao Lineage!"

"Could it be that they are fighting inside the ancient city?"

Even Fang Hong, who had the strongest strength, felt obvious pressure at this moment.

His originally relaxed expression instantly became serious, and a trace of gravity flashed in his eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Fang Hong could clearly perceive that the owners of these four auras were far stronger than ordinary Early Stage Immortal Emperors.

"Husband, the strength of the four Dao Lineage Elders is too terrifying; they are not ordinary Immortal Emperors!"

"Let’s not rashly head to the ancient city, shall we? Lest we get dragged into their fight and lose our lives for nothing." Susan pulled on Fang Hong and quickly advised him.

"My beloved wife is right; although treasures are tempting, preserving our lives is the most important thing."

"Since they are fighting, let them fight; there is no need for us to join in the excitement." Fang Hong felt that what Susan said made sense and immediately nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the three of them turned around without hesitation and retreated back into the mountains and forests, completely abandoning the idea of going to the ancient city to hunt for treasures.

After all, those four Dao Lineage Elders were at least top-tier Late Stage Immortal Emperors, and their strength was unfathomable.

With Fang Hong’s current cultivation, he was simply no match for them. Rather than risking approaching and increasing the danger, it was better to stay far away; this was the safest choice.

Just like that, the three of them gave up on exploring the ancient city and instead continued to search for treasures in other corners of the mountains and forests.

Following the guidance of the immortal settling disk, the three of them traveled all the way, and after passing through a dense jungle, they found a hidden Medicine Valley.

This Medicine Valley had a quiet and secluded environment, and the Immortal Qi was extremely dense.

A large number of rare immortal herbs grew in the valley, with a wide variety, most of which were rare treasures seldom seen in the outside world.

Among them were the main ingredients necessary for refining the dao condensing pill, which made the three of them overjoyed.

"Great, with these immortal herbs, after we go back, I can start refining the dao condensing pill."

"Now that the materials for refining the dao condensing pill have been gathered, the matter of advancing to the Immortal Emperor Realm is finally all set."

Fang Hong looked at the immortal herbs in the valley, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

The three of them picked the required immortal herbs in the Medicine Valley and stored them away properly.

They set off again, continuing to travel through the mountains and forests, hoping to have more gains.

However, just one hour after the three of them left the Medicine Valley, the entire world suddenly began to shake violently, and the surrounding trees also fell one after another.

Immediately following, a powerful force of space descended from thin air and instantly enveloped the three of them.

This force of space came too suddenly and did not give anyone any time to react.

Caught off guard, the three of them could not make any resistance in time and were firmly wrapped by this tyrannical force of space, and the scene before their eyes quickly twisted and changed.

When the three of them regained their senses, they discovered that the surrounding environment had completely changed, and they had actually been directly teleported out of the ruins.

They had returned to the outer area of the Burial Demon Mountain Range.

At this moment, many Cultivators who had heard the news had already gathered around.

These Cultivators were all curiously watching, and at the same time, there were other Cultivators who had been teleported out of the ruins, looking around in confusion.
