Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"First, go to the Nether Immortal Valley and obtain the Netherworld Immortal Grass."

"Second, our Sect Leader needs a scroll of Immortal Technique Body Technique."

"Third, unlock the seal at the back of our Sword Immortal Sect's mountain."

The Sword Immortal Sect Leader smiled slightly and said: "If you can accomplish these three difficult tasks, I will agree to the exchange."

Gu Chenfeng replied without hesitation: "Alright, I agree."

"What? You agreed just like that?" Flame Shadow's eyes widened as he looked at Gu Chenfeng.

The Sword Immortal Sect Leader and the Elders also cast surprised glances.

Did Gu Chenfeng not hear clearly?

The Sword Immortal Sect Leader slightly furrowed his old brows and asked uncertainly: "Little brother, do you know the three things I asked for?"

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said: "First, go to the Nether Immortal Valley and obtain the Netherworld Immortal Grass; second, our Sect Leader needs a scroll of Immortal Technique Body Technique; third, unlock the seal at the back of our Sword Immortal Sect's mountain."

An Elder couldn't help but ask: "Are you so confident?"

Gu Chenfeng replied confidently with a smile: "How will we know without trying?"

"Good." The Sword Immortal Sect Leader's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he laughed happily: "Since you are so confident, then go ahead. I await your good news."

"Farewell." Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists and then left the great hall with Flame Shadow.

They left the Sword Immortal Sect.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow flew directly towards the Nether Immortal Valley.

On the way, Flame Shadow was clearly displeased: "That old man is simply taking advantage of us! The Netherworld Immortal Grass and Immortal Technique Array are precious treasures, and we also have to help him unlock the seal on the mountain back there."

"If they can't unlock the seal, how are we supposed to? Isn't this clearly making things difficult for us? These three tasks are not easy at all; why did you agree so readily?"

"After completing these three tasks for him, we still have to exchange precious treasures to obtain the Time Reincarnation Essence."

Looking at the disgruntled Flame Shadow, Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and said: "Compared to the Spatial Treasure, these are nothing, and how would we know if we can accomplish them without trying?"

Flame Shadow quickly asked: "Even if we give him the Netherworld Immortal Grass and the Immortal Technique Body Technique, what about the seal? Do you have a way to break the seal?"

"Just a mere seal, if they can't break it, it doesn't mean I can't." Gu Chenfeng grinned, not taking it to heart at all.

An hour later.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow successfully arrived at the Netherworld Immortal City.

The Nether Immortal Valley was located in the mountains behind the Immortal City.

Flame Shadow said: "The Nether Immortal Valley is very strange and dangerous. Hopefully, we can find information about the Netherworld Immortal Grass in the Netherworld Immortal City, which would save us a lot of time."

Upon entering the Immortal City.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow began to inquire about the Netherworld Immortal Grass.

They walked into a lively and luxurious inn, hoping to gather some useful clues there.

The eyes of everyone in the inn were drawn to Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow.

"By the looks of these two, they don't seem to be from Netherworld Immortal City. Could they also be here for the Netherworld Immortal Grass?" someone whispered, looking at Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow scrutinizingly.

Someone said softly: "That big guy looks familiar."

"Mind your own business," a companion softly scolded.

Gu Chenfeng remained calm, found a corner to sit down, and Flame Shadow went to ask the innkeeper. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Politely, Flame Shadow asked: "Excuse me, do you know where in this city we can find the Netherworld Immortal Grass?"

The innkeeper sighed and said: "When you walked in, I knew what you were going to ask."

Flame Shadow asked in surprise: "Which eye of yours saw that?"

The innkeeper shrugged and smiled: "Everyone in Netherworld Immortal City, including those who come to the city, wants to get the Netherworld Immortal Grass."

Flame Shadow quickly asked: "Then how can we obtain the Netherworld Immortal Grass?"

The innkeeper smiled wryly and said: "Sir, the Netherworld Immortal Grass is a rare thing, only growing deep within the Nether Immortal Valley; it's not found elsewhere."

"The Nether Immortal Valley is not an ordinary place, shrouded year-round in mysterious dense fog. This fog not only obscures vision but also contains a mysterious and deadly poison. Inhaling too much of it can cause hallucinations and even endanger life."

"Moreover, the terrain in the valley is complex, with deep chasms and hidden traps everywhere, very dangerous, and powerful guardian Immortal Beasts roam around. These guardian Immortal Beasts are extremely ferocious, possessing astounding strength and mysterious Divine Powers, and nine out of ten who venture in do not return."

"Is it that frightening?" Flame Shadow furrowed his brow and returned to sit beside Gu Chenfeng.

At this point, an elderly person at a nearby table spoke up: "Young people, I advise you to give up searching for the Netherworld Immortal Grass; it's not something you can covet."

"Oh? Not something we can covet?" Gu Chenfeng was slightly surprised and then asked: "Why do you say that?"

The elder glanced at Gu Chenfeng and said: "The Nether Immortal Valley is full of dangers. Besides what I've just mentioned, there are also inscrutable restrictions and arrays that have existed since Ancient Times."

"It's said that many cultivation experts have tried to enter, but were trapped by those restrictions and arrays. Some were trapped until they exhausted their cultivation and died, while others were directly torn apart by the Array Power."

"Even if you're lucky enough to avoid those, it's still hard to deal with the valley's terrifyingly changing Attribute Power, sometimes unbearably hot, sometimes bone-chillingly cold, and even an Immortal Emperor would find it hard to endure."

"Once, an Immortal Emperor managed to bring out the Netherworld Immortal Grass, but was severely injured as a result and perished not long after."

"Without powerful enough strength, entering the Nether Immortal Valley to seek the Netherworld Immortal Grass is undoubtedly a mortal path."

Gu Chenfeng's eyes were firm, and he said: "Thank you, elder, for the advice, but we've decided to try anyway."

The elder shook his head and said no more.

Flame Shadow whispered: "Gu Chenfeng, this Netherworld Immortal Grass is not peaceful; they're not entering the Nether Immortal Valley, just waiting to rob others."

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said: "There's no Netherworld Immortal Grass here, let's head straight to the Nether Immortal Valley in a while."

After a simple meal and drink, Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow left the Immortal City.

Above the mountain range where the Nether Immortal Valley is located.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow appeared in a flash.

The entrance to the Nether Immortal Valley was filled with thick fog, obscuring the road ahead.

The fog seemed to have a life of its own, constantly swirling and surging, and eerie howls could vaguely be heard coming from within.

Flame Shadow hesitated, worried: "Are we really going in? This fog looks creepy, and it feels like countless dangers are hidden inside. The old guy also said even an Immortal Emperor would fall."

Gu Chenfeng showed no fear and said: "Of course, we need to go in; otherwise, how can we find the Netherworld Immortal Grass? Since we're here, there's no reason to retreat."

With that said.

Gu Chenfeng descended.

Flame Shadow muttered under his breath: "This bastard always takes me to dangerous places."
