"Dad, do you think the Ancestral Elder will succeed this time at the Blood Swamp Mountain Range?"

Qi Yutang asked as he looked at the back of Lu Changsheng.

"Yes! The Ancestral Elder will definitely succeed, and must succeed!"

"This is the most crucial moment for our Qi Family. No matter what, the Ancestral Elder must succeed…"

Qi Guangmao said resolutely.

The fate of the Qi Family soaring to new heights now rests entirely on Lu Changsheng.

…

Three years later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Blood Swamp Mountain Range.

The Heavenly Realm is even larger than the Boundary Sea.

It took Lu Changsheng a full three years to reach the Blood Swamp Mountain Range.

In fact, in the Heavenly Realm, even True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals have to travel slowly.

Of course, once one becomes a True Immortal, they travel much faster.

Definitely faster than the Water Mansion.

If one is a Heavenly Immortal, they are even faster.

By then, three years might turn into three months, or even three days.

Lu Changsheng saw the Blood Swamp Mountain Range, from afar it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood-colored mist.

This is the natural landscape of the Blood Swamp Mountain Range.

It's not actual blood aura.

It's only similar in color.

Upon reaching the Blood Swamp Mountain Range, Lu Changsheng found that people were entering continuously.

There were quite a few of them.

However, each was very vigilant and cautious.

In the Blood Swamp Mountain Range, if one isn't careful and vigilant, they probably won't survive long.

Anyone daring to venture into the Blood Swamp Mountain Range is either ruthless or daring to risk their life.

None were innocuous.

Even Lu Changsheng was exceedingly cautious.

"Blood Swamp Mountain Range, let's send a clone to explore first."

Lu Changsheng pondered and decided to let his clone explore.

After all, a single drop of his blood could become a Blood and Flesh Avatar.

Even if lost, he wouldn't be the least bit distressed.

So, Lu Changsheng swiftly split off a dozen or so Blood and Flesh Avatars.

These dozen or so Blood and Flesh Avatars quickly flew into the Blood Swamp Mountain Range, rapidly dashing in different directions.

"About right, a dozen or so avatars going to places from the intelligence gathered by the Qi Family about the Blood Swamp Mountain Range."

"Each location in the intelligence had Immortal Veins, let the avatars scout first."

"Once they confirm the Immortal Veins, I'll move my true self!"

Lu Changsheng had already formed a plan in his mind.

Thus, he quietly waited outside the Blood Swamp Mountain Range.

However, barely half an hour later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

"Dead?"

"In just half an hour, the first avatar died..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

The strength of his Blood and Flesh Avatars was certainly negligible.

But their decomposition ability was as good as his true self.

Their sensing ability wasn't bad either.

And yet, it only took them half an hour to perish?

Fortunately, the Blood Swamp Mountain Range couldn't sever the link between Lu Changsheng and his avatars.

Hence, whatever the avatars encountered, Lu Changsheng knew clearly.

The first avatar to die encountered a disguised Immortal Beast.

Yes, Immortal Beasts would disguise and ambush.

A dignified Immortal Beast.

Existences comparable to True Immortals.

And yet, it would disguise and ambush an avatar that hadn't even reached the Ancestor Realm?

Simply... treacherous!

The environment of the Blood Swamp Mountain Range is indeed treacherous.

A slight mistake and one wouldn't even know how they died.

Even if Lu Changsheng's true self encountered that disguised Immortal Beast, it would probably be very dangerous.

Stories of the dangers of the Blood Swamp Mountain Range were widespread.

Yet hearing the tales and personally experiencing it are definitely different feelings.

"This path is a no-go, time to switch to another, and send more Blood and Flesh Avatars to scout."

Lu Changsheng became even more cautious.

Moreover, these Blood and Flesh Avatars were exceptionally useful.

Especially for scouting, there could be nothing better.

Thus, Lu Changsheng once again gathered another Blood and Flesh Avatar and continued into the Blood Swamp Mountain Range.

Using avatars for scouting proved very effective, albeit with high losses.

On the first day, Lu Changsheng lost three Blood and Flesh Avatars.

On the second day, the losses intensified, with eight avatars lost directly.

By the third day, Lu Changsheng's Blood and Flesh Avatars were completely obliterated.

And it was only the third day.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng once again gathered more Blood and Flesh Avatars.

If quality failed, then resort to quantity.

Crawling to the destination if necessary.

After about three months, Lu Changsheng's avatars finally reached thirteen destinations one after another.

"Finally reached the destination."

"In three months, I lost close to a thousand Blood and Flesh Avatars…"

Lu Changsheng was at a loss for words.

Three months, a loss of a thousand avatars.

Theoretically, he'd died over three thousand times.

And it was merely for these thirteen destinations.

Lu Changsheng's avatars never actively courted trouble.

Yet, they perished so many times.

Fortunately, these avatars were mere "consumables," and Lu Changsheng felt no remorse.

a mere thousand was nothing.

He could still gather ten thousand new avatars.

No fear of loss, for any death, he could conjure more.

However, the loss of these thousands of avatars was not without value.

At the very least, Lu Changsheng's avatars had arrived at their destinations.

Currently investigating the situation.

Soon enough, Lu Changsheng's avatars uncovered the situation at the thirteen destinations.

Two of them, however, had erroneous intelligence.

No Immortal Veins whatsoever.

Eleven destinations remained with confirmed Immortal Veins.

Of these, the Immortal Veins at five destinations had been destroyed, unable to facilitate Lu Changsheng's breakthrough.

At another four, suspected Immortal Beasts or demonic entities akin to True Immortals made it extremely dangerous.
