"Xiao Qin, are you in the Heavenly Chasm?" Yu Gen Sheng called out.

The Heavenly Chasm was vast; this area was exceptionally expansive. He wandered nearby, once again approaching the dangerous boundary, wanting to take a look inside.

"Old Yu, have you found him?" Li Qingyun also turned back.

"Not yet, I must enter the Heavenly Chasm!" Yu Gen Sheng said solemnly.

He instructed Li Qingyun to take care of the group of students from Shanhai Academy. Originally, he and those young people were traveling together.

Li Qingyun's face was full of worry, and he said, "Old Yu, senior, you shouldn't go in. Xiao Qin's fate is tougher than yours. Even though you're now a Great Grandmaster, you're more restricted and shouldn't make a move. Look, just the boiling of your Spiritual Field has already left blood at the corner of your mouth during your search!"

Yu Gen Sheng had sparse hair on his head and appeared very old, but his eyes shone like torches, his determination firm. He said, "It doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm an old man in the twilight of my life, with no path or hope ahead. I want to go in and search, to leave no regrets and no remorse!"

He had heard that a few unfortunate talents who exceeded their limits might be specially marked if they shattered multiple giant debris like destroying dead wood, leading to life-or-death resistance.

"Help me look after that group of young people." Yu Gen Sheng pushed Li Qingyun back, preventing him from following, and himself stepped towards the region of the Heavenly Abyss.

...

Qin Ming had golden threads densely intertwined all over him, covering the three of them, as if trying to form a celestial net, fighting desperately.

At the critical moment, a faint Blood Shadow emerged from within Tang Yushang's body, manifested from her broken chains, and flew out.

With a boom, the pitch-black giant hand was blocked and dissipated with a crash.

"Is this the life-saving technique gifted by the Ancestor Master?" Bai Meng was stupefied.

The three of them soared up, finally escaping from the Heavenly Chasm.

Huge debris no longer pursued; the high-level forces desired to merge into the source of the Immortal Blood Calamity, targeting Yujing.

However, some peculiar figures were shrouded in Yin Fog, following Qin Ming and the other two closely.

Qin Ming's mouth was full of bloody froth, Tang Yushang was coughing up blood repeatedly, and Bai Meng's body was cracked. All three were severely injured, and looking back, they saw that those monsters were all in the Fifth Realm.

"Go, don't worry about it!"

The Golden List Fragments dimmed, carrying them up into the sky.

Yet, those lifelike figures wrapped in special Yin Fog were not slower than them, chasing directly.

...

"Xiao Qin!"

Suddenly, Qin Ming heard a call.

Although this territory was vast, as if a giant axe had sliced an eternal, unhealable wound into the sky, stretching out of sight.

But Qin Ming's Divine Sense was sharp and he captured that kind of spiritual fluctuation.

"Xiao Qin, where are you?"

This time, the voice was clearer. Qin Ming heard Yu Gen Sheng's call, filled with urgency and a sense of unease, his spiritual sound waves trembling.

Qin Ming immediately shouted in a direction, "Senior!"

"Ah?" In the distance, Yu Gen Sheng was overjoyed. Though standing on the Golden List Fragments, he stumbled, mouth full of bloody froth, rushing out from the pitch-black region of the Heavenly Chasm.

"Senior, what is this..." Qin Ming quickly welcomed him.

He immediately understood: this elder had come back specifically to find him, braving the chaotic Heavenly Chasm again, which was nearly a death trap at present.

"Good child, as long as you're okay." Yu Gen Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the wrinkles on his face easing a lot, and his eyes shone brightly, breathing a sigh of relief.

Qin Ming knew that this harsh era was not friendly to Earth Immortals, leaving Ancestor Masters in poor condition. Even Great Grandmasters were like gravely ill patients, their physical conditions worrying.

Yet, Yu Gen Sheng disregarded his own safety, risking his life to find him.

For a moment, his eyes were hot, and he fought hard to hold back, keeping any fog from rising.

"Senior, your body..." Qin Ming found Yu Gen Sheng's armor was shattered. He must have encountered danger when he went in earlier.

Moreover, his arm was twitching slightly, the flesh torn open, bleeding continuously.

Yu Gen Sheng, although enduring, still coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His second step into that chaotic, bloody land truly meant walking the line between life and death, disregarding himself.

Even Tang Yushang and Bai Meng were deeply moved. He was a venerable elder willing to risk his life for Qin Ming, whose devotion and self-sacrifice genuinely stirred their hearts, causing their noses to sting a bit.

"No worries, let's go!" Yu Gen Sheng waved his broken sleeve backward, shattering four of the special monsters following them.

However, he himself staggered, nose and mouth bleeding.

It wasn't that his Taoist practice wasn't profound enough; rather this era was unfriendly to him, the Tao Rhythm backlashing against him.

He pulled Qin Ming along while his body glowed, also protecting Tang Yushang and Bai Meng, using the Golden List Fragments to travel, simultaneously intimidating the pursuers behind them.

"Senior... you shouldn't act again." Qin Ming realized Yu Gen Sheng had acted more than once in the Heavenly Chasm; his body simply couldn't hold on.

He truly feared the elder might suddenly suffer physical collapse, with his Spiritual Field extinguishing.

"I am fine!" Yu Gen Sheng said, looking back sternly.

Qin Ming immediately reached into the broken cloth, pulling out treasure medicine, finding a Jade Box, and retrieving a "Longevity Leaf." This was an immortal treasure won during sword fighting against the Black Tower Civilization in the sky.

One leaf could extend a person's life by about fifteen years, and it was indiscriminate regarding realms, applicable to all Domains, extending life from the essence of being.

Therefore, Qin Ming was reluctant to waste it at a low realm.

Now, he promptly took out four leaves, handing them to Yu Gen Sheng for immediate consumption.

"This is... too precious. I, a useless old man, don't need it!" Yu Gen Sheng refused, feeling it would be too wasteful to use it himself.

Qin Ming spoke sternly, "You must take it, or I will throw it away."

Beside him, Bai Meng was shocked; this is... a Longevity Leaf? During the sky sword fight, this immortal attribute treasure medicine had caused quite a stir. Afterward, all the old monsters were eager to purchase it, the Earth Immortals envious and intensely desiring it.

He could only privately sigh, "Brother Ming... is so wealthy!"

Tang Yushang was also shocked. Such leaves from the Immortal Tree wouldn't even necessarily be recorded in the secret vault of Tai Xu.

...

On the road leading deep into the radiating territory of Yujing, the Golden List Fragments dimmed, and many ultimately fell from high altitude, forced to travel on the ground.

"I never thought... I wouldn't die in the Heavenly Chasm, but end up dying halfway with my sect." Pei Shuyan was mournful, having seen the hope of returning to his homeland, only to encounter an accident on the way.

Not far away, a Grandmaster of the Immortal Road was blasted to pieces, his body shattered alive.

Pei Shuyan had long been torn apart, further shattering, his body disintegrating into dozens of pieces, his Pure Yang Consciousness cracking, disassembling into fragments.

Pei Shuyan sighed, full of unwillingness, saying, "You... outsiders, do you also want to get involved in the conflict between Yujing and the Immortal Blood Calamity?"

He only knew the opponents came from afar, not belonging to any faction near Yujing, but their more specific origins were unknown.

In the night sky, a young man smiled faintly, saying, "We are travelers from afar, with no intention of participating, just wanting to gauge how strong the native Grandmasters of this territory are."

Beside him, an old man said, "You shouldn't have acted. In this outwardly warring territory, we are all travelers, and shouldn't intervene in any incidents, or risk backlash."

The young man humbly accepted the advice, nodding, "Mm, I know, I just couldn't resist my itchy hands, seeing a harmless solitary individual. From now on, we'll carefully observe, needing a sample of the Immortal Blood Calamity to take away, feeding it Blood Meal slowly to see how it turns out."

Then, the young man tilted his head, looking into the distance, saying, "More people are coming, hmm, they seem somewhat skilled, entangled with the golden mark of the Immortal Blood Calamity, worth observing, should capture them." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

In the distant sky, Qin Ming suddenly opened the Newborn's Eye, catching sight of the young man and the old man ahead, as well as the bloody scene on the ground.

"Don't... come over!" Pei Shuyan weakly called out.

The young man smiled, saying, "Your acquaintance? Don't worry, I'll let them accompany you."
