At that moment, Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei were traveling forward at incredible speed.
Aside from the two of them, many other beings were also advancing, particularly other Earth Immortal experts whose speed wasn't any slower than Su Qingluo's.
Ye Yunfei saw several Earth Immortal experts using their grand supernatural abilities, traveling with a large group of beings trailing behind them. The scene was vast and spectacular.
"Some of these Earth Immortals belong to Tianpo Realm, while others hail from those special worlds, such as the Netherworld, Demon Realm, and Devil Realm. Don't pay them any attention, or you'll cause them to take notice of you in return," Su Qingluo transmitted her voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei promptly withdrew his gaze.
The sensory abilities of Earth Immortal experts were terrifying. If he stared at them for too long or tried to sense them with Soul Power, he would undoubtedly be discovered. Furthermore, it might be considered a provocation, inviting terrifying trouble.
"Hmph!"
In the distance, an old devil shrouded in a monstrous demonic aura turned back to glance at Ye Yunfei, letting out a cold snort. He had noticed Ye Yunfei's Soul Power sensing him just moments before.
"So it's that young girl from the Reincarnation Palace."
However, as soon as this old devil caught sight of Su Qingluo beside Ye Yunfei, an expression of wariness flashed across his face. He mumbled softly and paid Ye Yunfei no more mind.
The Reincarnation Palace's reputation was immense. Not only within the main world, but even experts from special realms like the Demon Realm, Devil Realm, and Netherworld were unwilling to provoke them lightly.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei noticed a man in the distance riding atop billowing gloomy winds, charging forward with a group of beings exuding a surging aura of death.
These were all beings from the Netherworld!
"I never imagined the Devil Realm and the Netherworld both have experts at the Earth Immortal level. In my previous life, I trespassed into the Demon Realm, Devil Realm, and Netherworld. I wonder why I didn't encounter a single expert at the Earth Immortal level back then. Could something have happened in my previous life before I achieved the status of an Emperor, causing all these Earth Immortal experts to disappear? Or perhaps they were actually there, but all of them had withdrawn into seclusion, utterly disdaining to have any contact with beings of the Heavenly Emperor level like me," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
"Hehe…
Palace Lord Su, I believe we will meet again very soon. I really look forward to it."
Suddenly, a cold, sneering voice echoed from behind.
It was the voice of the Qingxuan Sect's Sect Master Li!
"Those fellows are getting closer and closer," Su Qingluo's expression darkened slightly.
"However, we should reach our destination soon." Su Qingluo continued surging forward with Ye Yunfei.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo encountered various dangers.
Within a vast expanse of rocky mountains lay a staggering number of stones. These stones actually possessed life. They belonged to a race called Stone Monsters, somewhat similar to the Saint Spirits Within Stone race, but not the same.
When the Stone Monsters launched their attack, tens of thousands of stones blotted out the sky and covered the earth, capable of annihilating a whole spatial region in an instant.
Then there was a dense forest with numerous ancient trees that could move freely. They were tree monsters that had cultivated into sentient beings, seeking opportunities to attack any creatures passing through the forest. Their offensive power was immensely strong.
However, when these tree monsters tried to attack Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao appeared directly. With the identity of the Chaos World Tree, he instantly subdued all the tree monsters. Not only that, he then recruited them as underlings, each one viewing him with the utmost reverence.
For the grade of the Chaos World Tree was vastly, vastly superior to the bloodline of these ordinary tree monsters. Even a single branch of his was like a divine dragon of the heavens in their eyes.
A group of tremendously powerful zombies, some of which had actually been Earth Immortal experts in their past lives! Fortunately, these zombies had lost the memories from their previous lives, causing their combat prowess to drop significantly. Their current fighting power was only equivalent to that of a True Immortal.
A group of experts from the Netherworld who encountered these zombies were overjoyed. For the Netherworld forces, these zombies were extremely precious treasures.
An Earth Immortal from the Netherworld immediately led his forces to begin forcibly capturing the zombies. A fearsome battle erupted.
And so, Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo pressed forward, finally arriving at the core region of this Small World.
A place akin to paradise.
Here, the scenery was exquisite, sunlight radiant, fragrant grass spreading in patches, and fallen petals drifted gracefully.
Moreover, this place was exceedingly tranquil. Upon stepping foot inside, one's whole body and mind involuntarily relaxed, a sense of profound peace washing over them. It felt as if any desire for conflict or struggle just… dissolved.
Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo, being the fastest, were the first to enter this paradise on earth. They observed the scenery before them in amazement.
In the distance, fawns drank water peacefully beside a lake. Birds in the nearby woods foraged for food, undisturbed by the presence of humans.
Ye Yunfei even spotted a small mountain hamlet nestled at the foot of a distant mountain. All the houses in the hamlet were constructed from stone, wood, and thatch. Under a large tree at the entrance of the village, a yellow dog lay lazily basking in the sun. Nearby, a hen led a brood of chicks foraging on a grassy patch.
Several mischievous children chased each other through the village, momentarily breaking the mountain hamlet's tranquility.
Further away, in a field, several farmers dressed in coarse linen clothes were tending their crops. On a small lake, a wooden boat floated quietly, and an old man wearing a straw raincoat was silently fishing.
"Could the Heavenly Immortal Soul Fruit really be there?" Both Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo felt some doubt. That place truly looked like an ordinary, tranquil mountain hamlet.
"Those people don't seem to have any cultivation base at all!" Su Qingluo extended her Soul Power to sense the several farmers and the old fisherman in the distance. To her astonishment, they had absolutely no energy fluctuations. They seemed to be common mortals who had never practiced cultivation.
"The more ordinary it looks, the more bizarre it is. If the Heavenly Immortal Soul Fruit truly exists, it's most likely right there," Ye Yunfei spoke up.
Throughout their journey here, they had traversed many perilous areas. This Small World seemed fraught with danger at every turn; any beings without sufficient strength would have absolutely no chance of reaching this point. And now, in the very core, there was an utterly ordinary mountain hamlet. That was far too bizarre!
"Yes," Su Qingluo understood Ye Yunfei's meaning.
"Qingluo, hurry. The powerful ones behind us are continuously catching up," Ye Yunfei reminded her.
"Alright." Su Qingluo took the lead, heading towards the distant mountain hamlet with Ye Yunfei following close behind.
"What kind of place is this?"
Just as Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei traversed this tranquil paradise, the pursuers behind them finally arrived, entering the peaceful and beautiful world one after another.
"How strange! It's far too quiet here! Where something is abnormal, there must be something afoot!" An Earth Immortal expert from the Netherworld rushed in with his Netherworld forces, his expression grave.
"Look, there's a human mountain hamlet over there! This is too bizarre. Let's go and take a look!" An old devil barged in with a group of demonic beings. Cautiously, he began making his way towards that small hamlet nestled against the foot of the distant mountains.
