Li Yuanqing had already appeared in the huge forest. Beside him, Little Man and Hu Jiujiu followed.

This incomparably huge forest was a maze that Little Man had spent a lot of effort to create. This time, it was used as the main map of the array master competition. It did not disappoint and displayed very powerful abilities.

Li Yuanqing and the others were originally watching the competition as special judges. For some reason, they came to the venue.

“Master, if you want to set up a special checkpoint, I think you can put it in the Blood Vine Swamp in the center.”

Little Man dropped a small terrain map and pointed at the area in the middle that was marked with a special red.

“Is this where you worked with Spirit Child?”

“That’s right. I gave that little fellow a lot of benefits before he was willing to help me. But I’m very satisfied with the effect. It can be said that even a third or fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm expert won’t be able to escape for a while.”

“I’m afraid we won’t need to use that much strength this time.”

“Since it’s a special award, we have to make it more difficult for them.”

It turned out that Li Yuanqing’s competition this time was handed over to Little Man to handle. Little Man had already made her choice regarding the prize.

However, Li Yuanqing was excited when he was watching the competition just now and suddenly wanted to set up a special award himself.

Hu Jiujiu served him with a smile and asked, “Master, you’re in high spirits because you’re studying the Immortal Dao. I believe it has something to do with the Upper Realm?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded. He looked at Hu Jiujiu and praised, “Little Jiujiu understands me the best.”

“That’s right. I’ve been with you for so many years. If I still don’t understand your thoughts, I’ll have followed you for nothing.”

Li Yuanqing suddenly took out a small black square table and placed it in his palm.

When Hu Jiujiu and Little Man saw this, their expressions changed.

“Devil crystal platform?”

This was one of Li Yuanqing’s proudest creations. Back then, he had used a large number of top-notch devil crystals to imitate the altar.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing had always kept the Devil Crystal Platform by his side and kept strengthening it. The power of this Devil Crystal Platform had probably grown countless times. They did not expect Li Yuanqing to be willing to take out such a treasure that he loved.

“Master, this prize is too precious.”

“This Devil Crystal Platform is such a rare item. How can Master take it out just like that? Shouldn’t you think twice?”

Li Yuanqing looked at the Devil Crystal Platform in his hand silently and shook his head. “This treasure is indeed my masterpiece. It has accompanied me to subdue many enemies over the years. However, it’s time to hand it over to my descendants. I already have the altar in my hands, so I don’t need such a treasure that much. It’s fine.”

“Master, did you suddenly have an idea because you had a breakthrough in the path of immortal ascension?”

Little Man’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Li Yuanqing happily.

Li Yuanqing had been in seclusion for so long and had been searching for the path to immortality. The two of them had never asked about their master’s seclusion to seek a breakthrough.

After all, their master was already at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm. It was impossible for him to advance with the spiritual energy of the Demon Realm. The laws of heaven and earth here seemed to have some kind of restriction, binding people like chains.

If he wanted to continue cultivating at a higher level, he could only reach the Immortal World.

The two of them knew that Li Yuanqing had interacted with the Lower Realm many times, but they were not too sure how to go there. Moreover, they had heard that the Immortal World was very resistant to the existence of the Lower Realm.

Would their master leave them behind forever this time?

Hu Jiujiu suddenly said sadly, “I want Master to stay here for the rest of your life and attain the Great Dao in the Demon Realm and reach the Supremacy realm. However, there will always be a time for separation. If Master really finds the path to immortality, you can go without worries. The two of us will take good care of the Lower Realm.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the two little girls who were very happy just now. Now, their faces suddenly dropped. He could not help but joke, “The two of you are mighty figures of the Demon Realm. How can you be so weak?”

Little Man pursed her lips and looked at Li Yuanqing with teary eyes. “Master, you’re laughing at me again. I’ve followed you for so many years. It’s inevitable that I’m melancholic now.”

Li Yuanqing stopped teasing the two little girls when he saw how anxious they were. He took out a simple wooden tablet.

“If I wanted to go to the Immortal World alone, I would have had the chance long ago. However, the energy in the Immortal World is too ruthless for the cultivators of the Lower Realm. I don’t want you to be in trouble the moment you go up. Therefore, all these years, not only have I improved my cultivation, but I have also been searching for the true path to immortality.”

“Does that mean that Master won’t abandon us?”

“Of course not.”

“I knew that, but my sister was still worried often. She said that if I stayed here, she would let me be the City Lord. She went to live freely and said that she was going to find the members of the Heavenly Fox Clan.”

Little Man pouted and complained.

“I don’t want to be the City Lord. I want to be carefree too. However, it would be best if Master brought us sisters.”

“This is the Immortal Ascension Token.” Li Yuanqing had only learned to use this Immortal Ascension Token some time ago.

He used to think that this was just a token to control the puppet, so he did not take it seriously.

However, some time ago, he suddenly saw someone in the Immortal World secretly using this token to send a clone to the Lower Realm. Therefore, he used this as leverage to threaten him. That person obediently told him everything about the Immortal Ascension Token.

This Immortal Ascension Token could provide a fake aura that could prevent the aura of the Immortal World from leaking. This way, the clone sent to the Lower Realm would not leak out too much immortal energy and could even act as a disguise.

Moreover, the reverse was equally applicable. He could form a very mysterious shield on the bodies of the people of the Lower Realm, blocking the intense harmful energy of the Immortal World.

This way, as long as he had the Immortal Ascension Token, Li Yuanqing could bring them to the Immortal World together. Ever since he had that jade token embedded in his body, he could already silently use his true body to travel between the Demon Realm and the Immortal World.

He had also gone to find out more about the so-called human ancient jade, but the human sects in the Immortal World were too powerful. Although he really wanted to go to those sects to collect some ancient books to study, his strength was completely insufficient.

Therefore, so far, he did not know much about this human ancient jade. It was enough to fake him as someone from the Immortal World.

“In that case, Sister and I will be able to reach the Immortal World. Will Sister be able to advance to the Supremacy realm one day? That’s a legendary figure.”

“Of course. There are many Supremacies in the Immortal World. Although there are many difficulties, I will do my best to help you.”

Hu Jiujiu and Little Man hurriedly bowed when they heard Li Yuanqing’s lifetime guarantee. “Thank you, Master!”

“There’s nothing to thank me for. The two of you have followed me for so many years and have contributed to the entire human race.”

Li Yuanqing took out the two Immortal Ascension Tokens and the Devil Crystal Platform.

“After we leave, the human race needs someone who can stabilize the situation. The winner of this competition will obtain this Devil Crystal Platform. I believe that with the help of this half a Dharma treasure, the human race will definitely be able to be safe for the next few hundred years.”

“Master, you have a meticulous plan and are doing it completely for the human race. I believe that the human race will definitely grow stronger.”

As the three of them spoke, they arrived at the so-called Blood Vine Swamp. This place looked like an ordinary swamp, emitting a green miasma everywhere. As long as one touched even a trace of this poisonous gas, their bodies would fester.

Although this swamp was only hundreds of meters long, it was very difficult to pass through unscathed.

As there was a very powerful restriction above this swamp, as long as any living creature appeared above, it would trigger the mechanism below. An incomparably huge blood vine vein could be hidden under the swamp.

Under the nourishment of the huge power, the Blood Vine was very strong. Even the model kept growing after it left the Blood Vine’s body and was fed with huge poison.

Now, not only were these mutated blood vines covered in poison, but they were also abnormally strong. Ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm experts would find it difficult to retreat unscathed under the siege of hundreds of blood vines.

In the center of the swamp, three people stood on a lotus leaf that was incompatible with the environment beside it.

Li Yuanqing placed the Devil Crystal Platform on the lotus leaf in the center. It was very quiet here, and even the miasma could not enter.

This was the last checkpoint that Li Yuanqing had chosen, which was their special checkpoint.

At this moment, there were less than a hundred participants left. These were all the outstanding array masters, the most elite array masters on the entire continent.

Most of them had already arrived at the purple door, the sixth checkpoint. No one broke through at this time. The sixth level was too intense, greatly delaying the participants and gathering most of them here.

Towards the end, there were much fewer fights. Not to mention that most of the array masters at the back were powerful figures who had been famous for a long time, most of them were determined and unwilling to do those sneaky things.

Moreover, the subsequent stages were really too difficult. Most of them could not even take care of themselves and were not in the mood to scheme against others.

This was a garden. The ground was filled with flowers, and all kinds of colors competed with each other.

These colorful flowers were abnormally huge. Each of them was thirty feet tall. Below them were dense bushes that covered the entire land. Looking further, the rotten leaves fell below and were covered in a thick layer of soil.

These rotten substances nurtured many small creatures. They slowly wriggled in the soil and enjoyed the incomparably happy life in the soil.

A very subtle stream of bright blood fell along the roots of the rotten flower. These little fellows hid the fishy blood and let out cheers. They climbed up along the empty space.

Above the flowerbed, a naked man was dripping with blood and tied up tightly by thick vines. His eyes were closed and his face was filled with pain. The vines wrapped around his body were all sharp spikes. They stabbed into his body one by one and kept sucking his flesh and blood. The leaked blood dripped onto the petals below, causing them to tremble in excitement.

The blood that the petals had missed fell into the mouths of the little fellows below. These small creatures had already climbed up the flower and saw the vast sky, and the bloody person.

Yang Tianqi’s entire body kept trembling as if he was enduring extreme pain. However, Hu Qian was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Tianqi’s aura kept weakening. The artifacts he was proud of were all gone. And his skills were completely useless here. He was tied up here and punished.

“Little guy, how long can you last?”

A huge flower at the side suddenly swayed and climbed up. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a beautiful elf.

The little elf swayed back and forth in front of Yang Tianqi. In her hand was a bright flower stamen that emitted a rich fragrance.

“Why do you think you have to last so long? Even if you succeeded, you died. Has your companion never thought about you? Is all of this worth it?”

The little elf kept whispering into Yang Tianqi’s ear, causing his body to tremble even more violently.

“You can’t take it anymore, right? If you can’t take it, then say it. Say where she is and you will be free.”

Just as the elf was about to be smug, Yang Tianqi’s body suddenly stopped trembling and became quiet. His face, which was filled with pain, also restrained itself and slowly replaced it with a very cold expression.

Just as the little elf was feeling puzzled, Yang Tianqi suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at the little elf’s face.

The little elf was shocked by Yang Tianqi’s appearance and could not help but fly back a long distance. Yang Tianqi’s lips curled into a smile and he said coldly, “The only thing I won’t do in my life is betray Xiaoqian.”

“What?”

The little elf looked at Yang Tianqi in disbelief. He should be in great pain, but why?

Just as the little elf was feeling puzzled, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the little elf’s head.

The vast flowerbed in front of them slowly dissipated. Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian appeared in the forest of the mystic realm again.
