"These damn Night Demons, attacking me while I'm taking a dump, truly no martial ethics!"

Zhang Menglong tossed aside his underwear, smeared with some mysterious yellowish substance, by the roadside. "Luckily, I was vigilant and alert, otherwise these Night Demons would have succeeded!"

Not far away lay the two unlucky Night Demons, now in pieces. After all, Zhang Menglong was very angry, and the consequences were dire.

"Gou Dan, aren't we there yet?" After dealing with the two Night Demons, Zhang Menglong quickly made his way through the darkness. Occasionally, a few Night Demons passed by, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Zhang Menglong's taillights.

"Almost there, almost there, we'll be there soon," Gou Dan said leisurely.

Zhang Menglong had initially been heading towards the direction with the most abundant energy. According to Gou Dan's estimate, that direction should be the core area of this Ancient Cave Heaven, likely the origin site of those superpowers. There, they could certainly find some of their lingering legacies or relics.

However, halfway through the journey, Gou Dan suddenly sensed a very dense life force in this direction. This life force didn't come from animals but from plants. In other words, this might be a very ancient medicinal garden.

As an Alchemist, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be missed.

Zhang Menglong had been popping top-level Saint Grade Elixirs like candies every day. Recently, he hadn't had many opportunities to gather herbs, and his supply of high-grade medicinal materials had almost depleted. Without a quick restock, even maintaining his daily cultivation would become difficult.

So upon learning this news, Zhang Menglong immediately changed direction.

"It's getting stronger and stronger, Principal. That place has at least thousands of Saint Grade high-grade medicinal materials, maybe even Divine Grade ones. I don't have many of these even in my place!"

Although Super God Academy has a massive medicinal garden and abundant energy, after all, it hasn't been established long.

But who knows how long this Ancient Cave Heaven has existed. The age of top-level medicinal materials in this place is very considerable, even surpassing those grown within Super God Academy. If a large batch can be collected, it would indeed be a tremendous aid for Zhang Menglong.

"It seems there are quite a few people there!" Even though Zhang Menglong smelled that dense aroma, he could also sense the presence of many Martial Artist auras, indicating that he wasn't the first one to arrive. "Looks like some people beat us to it."

Zhang Menglong wasn't too surprised. Given the vastness of this space and everyone being teleported to different places, there were bound to be some who got close to this area early on.

Moreover, as time passed, apart from the spread of Zhang Menglong's three products, others also found scattered methods to deal with the Night Demons. As a result, people gradually started leaving those survival bases or the corners where they stayed alive, even roaming freely in the darkness where Night Demons prowled.

However, not long ago, this area suddenly welcomed a burst of daylight. Zhang Menglong quickly saw a large crowd gathered ahead, but oddly, those people were all lingering within a specific area, seemingly waiting for something or observing something.

"There are at least a few thousand people. It seems everyone's information network is quite efficient." Zhang Menglong also joined the back of the crowd.

In front of them lay a dense, lush forest. The forest was not very deep, and one could even see a rather huge nursery existing amidst it. This nursery spanned over ten kilometers, and the strong, abundant life force sensed by Gou Dan was emanating from there.

"Tsk tsk, this aroma, this aura, these are at least Saint Medicines over a million years old!" Zhang Menglong, being an Alchemist, was more excited at these scents than seeing beauties.

If not for the lifecycle and growth cycle limits of ordinary medicines, these could have even reached billions of years, almost becoming sentient!

But even at a million years, this is something Zhang Menglong had never encountered before. Moreover, there were a few medicinal materials that started growing in ancient times—those are the real treasures.

"The value of the medicinal materials in this nursery is simply immeasurable!" Zhang Menglong couldn't even stop himself from drooling.

However, Zhang Menglong noticed that these people were so close to the medicinal materials, yet no one was picking them. It wasn't clear what they were waiting for or observing.

"Hey, brother, why aren't you all going in?" Zhang Menglong casually approached a young man and asked. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The young man was initially very impatient, but upon seeing Zhang Menglong's appearance, his expression became a lot more respectful. Among the billions of Heavenly Prides, offending others would at most get you killed, but if you offended Zhang Menglong, it was like opening a Blind Box—there was simply no good outcome.

Especially since he had driven away over four billion people recently, this matter had spread widely. Although Zhang Menglong was initially a victim, his methods and audacity were intimidating enough to subdue everyone.

"Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, it's like this, we're waiting for this toxic mist to disperse!"

"Toxic mist?" Zhang Menglong instantly understood. No wonder an inherent treasure trove was right in front, yet no one dared to enter. The mist lingering outside was actually toxic mist?

But it's just toxic mist; it shouldn't make such a large number of people unable to move, right?

"Is this toxic mist really that formidable?" Zhang Menglong continued to ask.

"Incredibly formidable, look there," the young man pointed to the entrance of the forest, where several bodies lay scattered across the ground. Those corpses had no trace of flesh, and the once white bones now had a strange purplish-black hue, clear signs of severe poisoning.

After being tainted by the toxic mist, the bones seemed to be immersed in strong acid, continuously corroded. At most, within a few minutes, those bones wouldn't last.

"That toxic mist is extremely lethal," the young man said fearfully. "Some tried enveloping themselves in energy, but they barely took a few steps before the toxic mist penetrated them. Just a trace, and there's almost nothing left of them."

"Can't you fly in?"

"No, the toxic mist envelops the entire nursery, and it even seeps underground. To enter, one must penetrate that layer of toxic mist—no alternative method exists."

"But flying over should be fine?" Zhang Menglong said. "It's only a few hundred meters, passing over should be instant. You can completely dash through when the toxic mist isn't paying attention!"

"That's also impossible," the young man replied, "Some have already tried this method. The toxic mist is so dense it makes the air inside almost gummy; there's no way to pass through quickly. In attempts, hundreds have already died!"

"Is that so? Is it really that challenging?" Hearing this, Zhang Menglong grew even more excited. This pose had to be struck — wasn't this the time to take on an impossible challenge?
