Chapter 491: Chapter 489: The Passage Within the Nether River... Land Immortals of the Northern Territory!

However, Xiao Qingyin couldn’t figure out what there was to fuss about beside the Nether River, most people are scared away before they can even approach.

"What’s he doing?"

Watching Lu Ye diving here and there from time to time.

Even though Xiao Qingyin considered herself well-traveled, this was truly a scene she had never witnessed before.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

No wonder he thought of coming to the Black Tide Forbidden Land; there turned out to be such a unique approach.

On the other side, after a long period of tentative exploration, Lu Ye indeed discovered some slight fluctuations indicating a passage.

Approximately every hour or so, when the Black Tide Nether River arrives at this location, it raises several massive waves, which deter any onlooker.

And at that moment, an invisible passage quietly appears, but the timeframe is very brief.

Lu Ye relied on everything he had learned about Array Dao, circulating for a considerable period.

Additionally, since this passage was no longer in a perfect state, he finally pinpointed this fleeting reveal period.

However, discovering it is one thing, Lu Ye wouldn’t risk entering it himself to test it.

What if it’s a one-way passage?

Wouldn’t he be stuck there, unable to return directly?

"No, although its aura is barely detectable, and most people wouldn’t dare come here anyway, it’s still better to patch it up a bit."

After a moment’s thought, Lu Ye directly took out several array flags, not bothering the main body of the passage, but re-arranged two shielding arrays by the river.

After completing it, even during the special timeframe that occurs every hour, the aura of the passage no longer leaks out.

The main reason for going through these motions was to guard against anyone potentially coming from the Nine Nether Realm.

Perhaps, among them, some had heard stories about the Black Tide Nether River and might know something about it.

Now, with the loophole sealed, unless they are truly also versed in array formations, coming near the Nether River wouldn’t be beneficial.

When Lu Ye returned to Xiao Qingyin’s side, she was already meditating, consolidating her newly advanced realm.

Seeing Lu Ye return, Xiao Qingyin finally opened her eyes.

"You’re back? What were you doing just now, I saw you circling there for quite a long time," Xiao Qingyin asked with some curiosity.

"It’s nothing, I just wanted to see if the Black Tide Nether River had anything special, but unfortunately, after a while, I didn’t discover anything," Lu Ye said.

While there was a passage leading to unknown destinations in the Nether River, the fewer people knowing about it, the better.

So, Lu Ye kept silent.

"The Nether River truly is mysterious and unfathomable below. People have attempted to see what kind of world lies at the bottom, but alas..."

Xiao Qingyin sighed, "Ultimately, no one knows."

In response, Lu Ye nodded as well. The Nether River’s mystique is indeed alluring.

But now being in the Earth Realm himself, Lu Ye couldn’t discern much more, only conceding that this mystery is hard to unravel. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

...

Half a day later, after wandering in various parts of the Black Tide Forbidden Land, Lu Ye indeed found a Tier Six spirit medicine, along with two or three Tier Five ones.

The Tier Five were naturally given to Xiao Qingyin, as he had no use for them. The Tier Six was placed into his storage ring, awaiting use during his next cultivation session.

Additionally, Lu Ye also encountered a few Tier Five fierce beasts within the Forbidden Land, comparable to late-stage Mortal Realm Grandmasters.

But facing Lu Ye, these fierce beasts fled whenever possible.

Whatever fearsome Beast Kings reside in the Forbidden Land that sends shivers down the spine, they seemed less intimidating than this human!

"Alright, let’s head out."

At this point, Lu Ye proposed the idea of exiting.

Overall, the most perilous area within the Forbidden Land remained the Nether River.

Other than that, in other regions, as long as one’s strength is around mid-Earth Realm, safety is roughly assured.

"Yes, let’s go, I feel the Forbidden Land is still too dangerous, those Tier Five beasts are at least comparable to above mid-Mortal Realm."

Contrary to Lu Ye’s experience, Xiao Qingyin felt the Forbidden Land lived up to its reputation and was overly treacherous.

Now hearing that he finally decided to leave, she instantly felt a sense of relief.

This place, she wouldn’t want to come again; whoever desires can come.

After some time had passed, emerging from the depths of the Forbidden Land, they encountered a small team in the outer area with Postnatal Realm strength.

Seeing two people emerge from the apparent depths of the Forbidden Land, the six-member team couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

"No way... They ventured so deep just the two of them?!" A bald member couldn’t believe it.

Venturing deeper, even those in the Innate Realm couldn’t guarantee an entirely safe retreat...

These two didn’t look like experts of the Innate Realm.

Within the team, another man glanced twice, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

"It’s... it’s him?!"

Immediately, this pockmarked-face man gasped in shock, as if seeing an otherworldly being.

Seeing their teammate so shocked, the companions curiously asked, "Yu, do you know these two?"

The pockmarked man took heavy breaths several times before shaking, then nodding, "To be accurate, I know one of them."

"Damn! You know that female cultivator with a good temperament?!" Suddenly, each teammate delivered a punch to the pockmarked man.

With a bitter smile, the pockmarked man said, "You guys think too highly of me. When I say I know, it’s one-sided... I know him, he doesn’t know me, and the one I know is the man."

That man?

The other five took a look, some found him familiar, yet couldn’t recall immediately.

"Who is that?"

"I’ll say it, you should know. It’s that recent figure on Yinmang Mountain, who slew the Earth Realm Grandmaster... Chen Beixuan!"

Upon finishing, the pockmarked man appeared as if he had seen a deity of the day, with intense reverence.

"What?! It’s that senior?!"

Indeed, upon hearing the name, the teammates were taken aback as if hearing about land immortals.

"People say that senior is very young, famous since youth, a prodigy seldom seen over a thousand years in the Northern Territory. Now upon seeing, it’s truly so!"

"If it’s him, entering the depths of the Forbidden Land is no longer surprising..."

Instantly, the team marveled in astonishment.

On the other side, Xiao Qingyin also noticed the team with not very high strength, smiled and said, "It seems someone over there recognizes you, you’re now a first-rate celebrity in the Northern Territory."

After advancing to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, Xiao Qingyin’s senses increased significantly.

Several hundred meters away, with the talk not quiet, she heard it all clearly.
