Since you won’t let me use force to keep him here, don’t regret it later. Right now, the priority is finding the treasure—don’t forget, you’re not the only two here,\" the miniature toad chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course—I’ve already thought of it. Since Master Jialan brought his spiritual beast to set up this secret realm, places saturated with powerful beast qi are likely connected to the treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for sensing beast qi, it’s child’s play for Master Jin,\" Xi Men Mei replied confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll fully cooperate. This body has ingested the Creation Pill—it can only survive three days. When those three days are up, we must leave, whether or not we’ve found the treasure,\" the miniature toad said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Men Mei readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Yu had crossed another ruin and cautiously arrived near the white mist sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the rolling mist and sent out his spiritual sense to scan it—but was blocked by some kind of forbidden array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu frowned, turned back to glance at the distant temple wall barely visible, sighed, flipped his palm, and revealed a white array disc, pouring spiritual power into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A circle of milky-white light glowed across the surface of the disc, faint silver runes flickering within the glow, enveloping his figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stepped carefully toward the edge of the mist—the milky-white light touched the mist, and the vapor rolled aside, revealing a clear path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Yu strode forward without hesitation, quickly sinking ten meters deep into the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the white mist churned and swallowed the area he had just left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu then pulled out a yellow talisman, muttered incantations, and slapped it onto his body—his skin was instantly shrouded in a yellow light barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure silently sank into the ground, then, holding the array disc, rapidly tunneled downward at a depth of several zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the earth, white mist also blanketed everything—but where he passed, the mist rolled away just as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, traveling underground was always more discreet than walking on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest level of the temple ruin’s tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before a yellow-gold copper door, three meters tall, sat a short-haired man, bare-chested, wearing only black shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s eyes were closed; he appeared to be in his thirties, with a refined appearance, his short hair no more than an inch long, his upper body muscular, skin bronze, muscle lines as sharply carved as if chiseled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated before the copper door, his chest showed no rise or fall, no trace of life energy—like a corpse—yet beside him lay a thick iron rod, as wide as a human arm, pitch-black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the yellow copper door stretched a vast expanse of blue stone ground, pockmarked with craters of all sizes, as if countless fierce battles had raged there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the blue stone ground, in a seemingly empty crater, the air suddenly blurred—a nearly transparent figure emerged, rolled swiftly into another small crater farther from the copper door, then twisted again and vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short-haired man before the copper door suddenly opened his eyes, his neck turning slightly toward where the transparent figure had been—his eye sockets were hollow, devoid of pupils, only two strange flickering green flames glowing within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open ground remained silent, no anomaly occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the short-haired man slowly turned his head back, mechanically closing his eyes once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crater, a young man draped in a sheer transparent veil, carrying two purple swords on his back, lay motionless, not daring to move—he finally exhaled deeply in his heart, his back drenched in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he sensed no spiritual energy from the short-haired man, even suspecting he wasn’t alive, some secret technique he had cultivated screamed warnings at him: get as far away as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His “Shadow Veil” talisman had astonishing concealment—but each activation required a half-day cooldown. That day, caught in a dire peril within the ruins, he had been forced to detonate a talisman infused with void energy—only to trigger some forbidden array, which randomly hurled him into this bizarre place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had activated the “Shadow Veil” immediately, avoiding direct notice from the short-haired man—if not, he would be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he only hoped to use the talisman’s power to slowly, steadily move farther from the strange man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the young man with the purple swords thought this, his gaze unconsciously drifted to another blue stone gate at the edge of the open ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was clearly the entrance—if he could slip unnoticed to it, he could escape alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he calculated the next activation time of his veil, his eyes instinctively glanced toward the “entrance”—then his face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the blue stone gate stood, inexplicably, an old monk with a kind, benevolent face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monk smiled warmly at his position—as if the “Shadow Veil” had zero effect on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple, may you travel well. I shall recite the Tenfold Soul-Still Sutra for you,” the monk smiled, flicked his sleeve—and a white light shot forth, vanished in an instant, then slammed down above the young man’s crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man could only reluctantly leap from the crater, barely evading the white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white light struck the crater, spraying shattered stones—then the light faded, revealing a pitch-black Buddhist bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the veil on the young man’s body shimmered with flowing light, and his figure fully materialized in midair—his face unmistakably that of Luo Hao, the chief true disciple of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, famed as “Peerless in Weapon Control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Hao was now both shocked and furious—he shook his shoulders, and the two purple swords blurred into his hands—but when he glared fiercely toward the blue stone gate, he found the old monk had vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, a furious wind erupted behind him—the short-haired man had appeared behind him, eyes wide open, hollow, expressionless, raising one arm—a colossal palm-shaped shadow descended like a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Hao roared in fury—his purple swords instantly dissolved into countless threads of light, whipping backward…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s figure blurred, darting forward like a wind-driven arrow, his crimson-and-blue long knife flashing into a blade of frost—before him, a giant spider, half a person tall, split into pieces and collapsed, green blood oozing across the ground; six or seven more spiders of similar size lay dead nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu flipped his palm—the long knife vanished. His expression darkened as he stared toward a direction in the mist sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had now returned to the surface—but the mist sea churned violently, as if countless demons and monsters lurked within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off in that direction, thunderous roars echoed, and faintly, mushroom-like bursts of brilliant light rose into the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>",1194,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.161Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b14abea29c0bc6f59de7c2e1d5272f69a7ec2bcd3fe16a9268ea7c2c43b7e5c9","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-248","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-246",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
