Fang Hong acted immediately, putting away his Celestial Mechanism Disk and exiting the Years Pearl Space.

He raised his hand and waved at the ground, and a dark spatial tunnel appeared.

The sound of spatial turbulence roared through the tunnel.

Fang Hong leaped, jumping directly into the spatial tunnel.

After a few breaths, the light from the spatial tunnel gradually dissipated.

Fang Hong passed through the interface barrier between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Realm, returning to the Human Realm.

Upon returning to the Human Realm, Fang Hong immediately felt that the concentration of Immortal Qi around him had dropped by more than one level compared to the Heavenly Realm.

Fang Hong wasn’t in the mood to care about that. He quickly took out his Celestial Mechanism Disk again and once more performed the Celestial Mirror Technique, wanting to see if there truly was an innate dao artifact in the Human Realm.

As soon as the Celestial Mirror Technique began to operate, the Celestial Mechanism Disk reacted.

A light screen was once again projected, displaying a macroscopic map of the Human Realm.

The map showed countless continents, scattered like stars, varying in size.

Just as Fang Hong was carefully observing the map, a clear small light spot suddenly lit up on a continent in the far west of the Human Realm.

"Excellent. As expected. There really is an innate dao artifact in the Human Realm."

Seeing that light spot, Fang Hong immediately revealed a look of great joy.

Fang Hong immediately put away his Celestial Mechanism Disk, his figure moving as he transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the void and rushing towards the continent where the light spot had appeared!

Generally speaking, the overall strength of the Human Realm was far inferior to the Heavenly Realm, making it unlikely for top-tier experts of the Heavenly Venerate level to exist.

At most, there would only be some Immortal King and Grand Unity Cultivators.

Therefore, if there really was an innate dao artifact there, it was highly probable that it was an ownerless item, lost in some Secret Realm or dangerous place.

This way, Fang Hong could boldly go and subdue it, without worrying about encountering top-tier powerhouses he couldn’t contend with.

However, Fang Hong didn’t dare to be completely careless.

What if some powerful old monster was truly living in seclusion on that continent, guarding the innate dao artifact? That would still be quite dangerous.

So Fang Hong still had to be cautious, preferably investigating the specific local situation before making plans.

Lest he alert the enemy and fall into unnecessary danger.

...

With Fang Hong’s current level of escape technique, his speed was astonishing.

In just ten days, he had traversed more than half of the Human Realm, successfully arriving at the continent where the light spot was shining.

Upon arrival, Fang Hong did not go directly to the location of the light spot. Instead, he found a city that looked very prosperous.

First, he inquired about the local situation in the city, to see if this continent had any special features, or any powerful figures or dangerous areas.

Fang Hong captured the local City Lord and performed a soul Search on him, quickly gaining a general understanding of this continent.

This continent was named Tianxing Continent, and it was also home to numerous sect forces.

Among them, the most powerful and influential sect was called Tianxing Sect.

The Tianxing Sect was only an Immortal King level sect, and its strongest Sect Master was only at the Early Stage Immortal King cultivation.

Such strength, for the current Fang Hong, was not even worth mentioning, and there was no need to worry at all.

Fang Hong also learned an important piece of news:

The most dangerous place on Tianxing Continent was the Tianxing Ancient Forest located west of the Tianxing Sect.

The Tianxing Ancient Forest contained all sorts of Demon Beasts.

Normally, many Cultivators would team up to train in the Tianxing Ancient Forest, hunting Demon Beasts and acquiring various resources from them.

However, in the deepest part of the Tianxing Ancient Forest, there was an extremely bizarre death zone!

It was perpetually shrouded in dense Death Qi, never seeing the light of day, and inhabited by a large number of incredibly ferocious undead creatures.

Therefore, it was also called the "Undead Ancient Forest" by various Cultivators.

The undead in the Undead Ancient Forest were exceptionally fierce, and carried strong corrosive Death Qi.

Even Immortal King level powerhouses, once tainted by that undead Death Qi, would have their Physical Bodies melted in an instant!

Even their souls would be corroded, making them dare not easily venture in.

Fang Hong now suspected that the innate dao artifact was hidden in the Undead Ancient Forest, and the undead there were likely caused by that Dao Artifact.

So, Fang Hong immediately rushed to the Undead Ancient Forest to investigate.

"Undead? Death Qi? Could it be the undead blade?"

Fang Hong speculated in his heart as he flew through the void.

In less than half an hour, Fang Hong saw a stretch of mountains ahead; the Tianxing Ancient Forest had arrived.

Fang Hong originally intended to fly directly towards the Undead Ancient Forest in the depths, to investigate the source of the Death Qi.

But at this moment, a familiar aura suddenly appeared within his perception range, causing him to stop high in the sky and look downwards.

He saw three blue figures fleeing in disarray in a certain forest below, with a large monkey chasing closely behind them.

The monkey looked ferocious, with messy fur all over its body, blood-red eyes, and exuded the aura of a True Immortal peak.

Each time it landed, the ground would tremble slightly, and the surrounding trees were snapped by its collisions.

The ones being chased were three female Cultivators wearing identical blue uniforms.

One of the women had a slightly weaker aura, at the fifth layer of True Immortal cultivation.

The other two had slightly stronger auras, reaching the sixth layer of True Immortal.

But even with the three of them working together, they appeared vulnerable before the True Immortal peak demon monkey.

Their Qi was disordered, and faint traces of blood hung from the corners of their mouths, clearly indicating they couldn’t hold on much longer.

If these three female Cultivators didn’t have any trump cards to save their lives and escape, they would most likely be eaten by this Demon Beast today.

Fang Hong watched the chase scene from above, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I never thought I’d meet an old acquaintance on this remote Human Realm continent."

Roar.

The demon monkey seemed to be provoked, letting out an earth-shattering roar, its voice filled with ferocity and Killing Intent.

It stomped its leg back fiercely, its massive body leaping high, and slammed its huge fist towards the True Immortal fifth-layer female Cultivator, who was lagging behind and had the weakest cultivation.

"Junior Sister Xiao. Dodge quickly."

The other two female Cultivators’ expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly turned back, crying out in alarm.

Wanting to turn back to rescue her, it was already too late, and they could only watch helplessly as the demon monkey’s fist got closer and closer to their companion.

The female Cultivator called Junior Sister Xiao instantly turned pale, her pupils slightly contracting with fear.

The demon monkey’s fist continuously grew larger in her eyes, and the fierce, murderous aura rushing towards her almost suffocated her.

Her Immortal Qi was in disarray, and she had no time to react at all, she could only watch helplessly as death approached!

At this critical moment, a strange thing happened. The howling fist wind and the demon monkey’s roar all came to an abrupt halt.

Everything around them completely froze.

The female Cultivator surnamed Xiao slowly lowered the arm she had held in front of her, her eyes filled with confusion and shock.

She... didn’t die?
