"How could there be such an immortal scene within the Poison Marsh Pond?"
Mu Jinyu looked at the scene ahead, which resembled an immortal realm, with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, he vigorously stimulated his Life Source Energy, wanting to ascertain whether he had unknowingly fallen into an illusion due to the poisonous miasma.
Soon, Mu Jinyu realized that he had not been poisoned and thus hallucinating; the immortal scene before him was likely real.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The bald little phoenix struggled endlessly in Mu Jinyu's arms, wanting to jump out and dash into the immortal realm ahead.
But because Mu Jinyu held onto it tightly, it couldn't break free no matter how hard it tried, so it eventually began to emit mournful cries.
Mu Jinyu snapped back to reality from his shock, looking down at the bald little phoenix, pondering if it kept wanting to enter because there's something inside it needed.
But why would such a beautiful scene of palace-like landscapes appear within this Poison Marsh?
Could it be... this is the yin giving rise to yang, life growing from death?
Mu Jinyu suppressed his inner shock, then held the little phoenix and stepped forward toward the immortal realm.
As he stepped from the Poison Marsh Pond into the green land where the fairy grass was blooming, he remained very alert, afraid that this Immortal Land contained even more terrifying poison gas.
However, as half of his body reached this Immortal Land, the green light on the right side of his body stabilized, and no longer emitted the sound akin to mosquito extermination, while the left side of his body that was still in the Poison Marsh flickered with green light, constantly emitting sizzling sounds, still resisting the encroaching Poison Marsh.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth and stood entirely in this Immortal Land.
Suddenly, the brilliant green light bursting from his body stabilized, no longer reacting fiercely against the Poison Marsh.
Mu Jinyu gazed at the beautiful scene ahead, feeling dreamy and surreal, unable to resist glancing back at the Poison Marsh, which remained sinister, emanating infinite fierce and evil energy.
Clearly, it's just one foot away, yet ahead is as splendid as heaven, while behind is like boundless hell, a wrong step, and it would lead to a bottomless abyss!
Taking a deep breath, Mu Jinyu then retracted his gaze, holding the little phoenix, stepping forward.
Soon, Mu Jinyu saw numerous Spiritual Medicines along the way, mostly at the Second and Third Stage, occasionally encountering Rank Four Spiritual Medicines.
Rank Four Spiritual Medicines are exclusive to Unity Realm Stage experts. Seeing them, Mu Jinyu, except for initially cautiously trying to pick them, then frequently stopped to pick them, gaining immensely along the way.
The only pity is that he didn't find the remaining seven Spiritual Medicines he needed among them, not even the Soul Shatter Grass.
"Is the Soul Shatter Grass here, or did I go to the wrong place?"
Mu Jinyu somewhat suspected he might have come to the wrong place.
But even so, this journey wasn't in vain.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
All the way, the bald little phoenix chirped, urging Mu Jinyu to hurry.
Now seeing Mu Jinyu stopping again to pick Spiritual Medicines, it, which had just quieted, started struggling in Mu Jinyu's arms again, expressing protest and dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu was equally worried about Wen Rou and the other two outside the Poison Marsh Pond.
After all, the Bi Fang Cauldron had been refined through his Blood Refinement, Elemental Refinement, and Soul Refinement, belonging to his exclusive weapon, others would find it difficult to control.
Initially, the vast amount of True Yuan he left could enable the Bi Fang Cauldron to operate automatically, likely protecting them, but with time, once the True Yuan he left runs out, they might be in danger.
Thus, seeing the little phoenix urging, Mu Jinyu hesitated, decided not to stop and pick Spiritual Medicines anymore, prepared to quickly explore this place, find what the little phoenix was looking for, and then hurry back.
Hurrying all the way, Mu Jinyu finally released the bald little phoenix, letting it lead the way ahead, then followed the little creature, bypassing the numerous Immortal Halls standing on the mountains, arriving at a subsequent valley.
The valley before his eyes wasn't large, probably as big as two football fields, the temperature inside was pleasant, Mu Jinyu walking inside felt warm.
Unlike the outskirts of the Immortal Land, perhaps due to being too close to the Poison Marsh Pond, the air became somewhat chill.
But as he approached the inner valley, the temperature inside gradually rose, as if reaching the top of a volcano.
Even Mu Jinyu began to feel overly hot, sweating profusely, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Mind you, with Mu Jinyu's physique, even if he arrived at an actual volcano, he wouldn't feel any discomfort, yet coming here, he started feeling unwell.
"Could it be... there's a Demon Phoenix with more intense Phoenix Bloodline inside?"
Mu Jinyu speculated in his heart.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be hard to understand why he began feeling overwhelmed.
After all, how terrifying Phoenix True Fire is, coupled with him coincidentally cultivating the Wood Element Technique, forming the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Body, rightly restrained by the other.
If he hadn't consumed a Phoenix Saliva Grass, which subtly allowed his physique to circulate with a kind of Fire Spirit Power, he arguably wouldn't have been able to come here.
"If it's indeed the case, should I continue following the little one inside?"
Mu Jinyu thought hesitantly and apprehensively.
The little phoenix lost the memory of being refined by him, still regarded him as a kin, but ultimately, he consumed the Phoenix Saliva Grass, still carrying the Phoenix Nest and Phoenix Tree, if there really is an ancestor-level Great Demon Emperor inside, he's afraid he would leave his life here.
As Mu Jinyu hesitated,
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The leading little phoenix, noticing he hadn't followed, looked back dissatisfied, chirped a few times, urging him to hurry up.
Mu Jinyu hesitated, thinking he probably wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Ultimately, he still stepped forward, catching up with the little one.
Following the little phoenix into the valley, shortly, Mu Jinyu followed the little phoenix, arriving at the valley's end.
There's nothing here, the temperature was extremely high, causing his skin to turn bright red, as if burned.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The little phoenix chirped a few times, bouncing around, drilling into a mountain cave on a cliff.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu could only follow inside.
Walking along the dark cave for about five minutes, finally a trace of light appeared ahead, indicating that the exit should be in sight.
Mu Jinyu became invigorated, having reached this point, he couldn't possibly retreat, hurriedly followed up with big strides towards the exit with the little phoenix!
Step out, and everything is bright, the light is so strong it almost dazzles one's eyes.
Mu Jinyu instinctively squinted his eyes, then his body swayed, nearly fell.
After stabilizing his body, he found that the deep cave led to a cliff.
At this moment, he's standing on the cliff, having just stepped out, almost directly jumped down.
Looking down, Mu Jinyu was suddenly shocked.
He saw below the abyss was actually a Purple-Black Poison Marsh, but unlike those encountered outside, the marsh here boiled like lava!
"Chirp chirp!"
The little phoenix stood on the cliff, dared not jump down, bounced around the mountain wall, chirping anxiously.
"Boom!"
As the little one's cries rang out, two oil-green light clusters suddenly lit up from the boiling purple-black lava below!
Bright and splendid like the blazing sun, defying one's gaze.
Mu Jinyu dared not look more, hurriedly turned away, felt a great shock, it seemed to be...
Two eyes?!
