helping the people of Baiyun Mountain attack the Corpse Demon. Qin Sang's gaze narrowed slightly, moving silently to the other side of the hall, urging his Five Elements Breaking Sword, and cooperatin..."Excuse me, Daoist Yin, I apologize. I was momentarily preoccupied with a minor matter and almost missed the appointed time..."

The celestial phenomena has subsided, the secret realm entrance will open soon, Mu Yifeng will arrive shortly.

Qin Sang was astonished to find that Mu Yifeng was actually smiling, as if he had encountered something joyful. In all his time entering the Ancient Immortal Battlefield, this was the first time he had seen Mu Yifeng smile.

At this moment, the river suddenly roared at its end, surging up waves thousands of layers high. The water split into two, crossing each other to form an arch, and all you could see outside the arch was a blinding white expanse.

Yin Xingge didn't mind and said, "Daoist Mu arrived just in time. It's time to leave."

Everyone immediately rushed onto a small boat. Just as Qin Sang was about to board, his figure suddenly paused, and he glanced silently at Mu Yifeng, who gave him a meaningful look.

Qin Sang hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, then nonchalantly boarded the boat.

The wooden boat surged through the waves, swiftly sailing into the archway. Then, everyone felt a sudden shift, and the scenery changed dramatically. They now stood in the heart of a desolate desert.

The previous gust of wind seemed to have never existed. Standing on the sand dune, one could see nothing but endless yellow sand as far as the eye could see, utterly peaceful. The intense heat caused the air to shimmer, making even these cultivators feel uncomfortable.

Yin Xingge took out the map of geomancy and glanced at it, pointing to the northwest direction and saying to Mu Yifeng and Qin Sang: "My sister Yun qiong and I will lead the way in front, please follow us two Daoist friends."

Mu Yifeng and Qin Sang had no objections, so everyone agreed on their formation and dashed off with agile movements.

Over twenty cultivators came out of the secret realm one after another, gathering at the entrance. They all looked at Qin Sang and the others with extreme caution. After all, in the ancient immortal battlefield, it was common to not see anyone for hundreds of miles. Killing and robbing outside towns and markets was commonplace, and celestial omens and cloud beasts helped destroy bodies and cover their tracks, making it impossible for even powerful cultivators to find the culprit.

Even some ambitious cultivators gathered into groups, pretending to search for treasures but actually engaging in banditry. They even dared to rob and kill disciples of the three major sects. The Headsman's Guard killed countless bandits, displaying their severed heads outside the pass, yet this still could not stop them.

Qin Sang and his ten companions formed a formidable force, it was natural for other cultivators to be apprehensive.

Not until their figures disappeared in the distance did the cultivators exchange glances and then disperse.

This desert was unimaginably vast; they walked for five days straight and still didn't see an end to it.

At noon, the sun shone brightly.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the desert. At first, there was only a faint haze of dust and sand, but gradually the gravel began to roll, the sky turned a dull yellow, and the temperature in the desert plummeted, even bringing a hint of biting cold.

A ripple suddenly appeared on a sand dune, followed by the appearance of ten people out of thin air. They were Qin Sang and his companions.

In the desert, their target was too big. They used their escape technique to travel quickly, but when they stopped, they all frowned and looked at the increasingly violent sandstorm around them.

"Five days ago the celestial phenomena just subsided, how come it's here again so quickly"

Yun Qiong's face was full of worry. The mid-level refuge areas were scarce, and they had just left Gu Bei Town. Other towns and markets were far away, and they were now in the desert with nothing but open land around them. There was nowhere to hide, making it easy for them to be surrounded and killed by cloud beasts.

Over these past five days, they encountered cloud beasts more than once. It was obvious that the cloud beasts here were a level stronger than those they had faced before. One cloud beast was even stronger than Yin Xingge. Thankfully, they were quick-witted and managed to avoid it in advance.

Yin Xingge said in a low voice, "The celestial phenomena are inherently unpredictable. Since we've entered the middle layer, it's normal to encounter frequent changes. Everyone, do your best to hurry and find a place to hide. Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to dig a sand den for shelter..."

Before his words could even finish, a Qi Condensation Stage shadow guard suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Yin, the feng shui map shows there's a shelter ahead!"

Everyone hurriedly took out the topographic map and saw that there was indeed a shelter marked not far ahead. However, it wasn't a market town, but a small shelter built by passers-by. It wasn't too far away; they could reach it in five or six hours at full speed.

Yin Xingge pondered for a moment and said, "This shelter may not last long. It's not a bad idea to take a look. Time is of the essence. Mu Daoyou, Qin Daoyou, let the three of us activate the star chart. Yun Qiong Shimei, lead everyone on flying magic weapons as fast as possible."

At a time of urgency, Mu Yifeng and Qin Sang naturally had no objections and readily agreed.

Yin Xingge reached into his pouch and took out a giant celestial disk, measuring a full ten feet in diameter. The circular disk was entirely black, with stars twinkling like fluorescent spots all over it, a breathtaking sight, as if a piece of the Milky Way had been plucked from the night sky.

Having long since mastered the incantations for manipulating the celestial charts, Qin Sang was well-versed in their power.

As Yin Xingge tossed the star disk upwards, Qin Sang and the others immediately sat cross-legged beneath it, chanting incantations and pouring their spiritual energy into the star disk with all their might.

'Boom!'

The celestial disk trembled slightly, and the starlight upon it suddenly brightened severalfold. Then, a strange aura emanated from the disk, identical to that of the Cloud Beast's spirit essence.

This aura enveloped them, completely concealing the fluctuations belonging to cultivators, misleading the cloud beasts, and leaking not even a sliver. The effect was far superior to the silk scarf Qin Sang had bought.

It's a shame that this kind of cloud device is expensive and cannot be used for a long time, otherwise they would have already started mining dry yang quartz.

Yun Qiong, with a flick of her finger, sent a double-pointed shuttle soaring through the air. It grew longer as it caught the wind, shooting out a rainbow-colored streak that enveloped Qin Sang and his companions within its embrace.

The other six people hurriedly boarded the flying shuttle as well.

'Whoosh!'

Yun Qiong scattered and dared not let the flying shuttle fly too high, almost sticking to the sand dunes while flying. Though the speed was much faster than before, she diligently avoided cloud beasts along the way. In just half the time, she arrived at the location marked on the geomancy map.

Someone pointed in a direction and shouted, "There!"

Everyone looked intently. In the center of the desert, a small stone hill had suddenly appeared as if by magic, entirely composed of numerous large, bare stones piled on top of each other.

The Stone Mountain is not high, yet it has not been buried by the sandstorm. It is a very obvious sign.

At this time, the sandstorm swept through, the celestial phenomena became increasingly violent, and the cloud beasts were becoming more and more active. Yun Qiong scattered people did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly urged their flying shuttles to change direction, one flash landed in front of Shishan.

Yin Xingge put away the star chart, his divine sense swept over the stone mountain, and then his eyes lit up: "There is a wave of restriction existence."

>

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and rushed up Stone Mountain. They saw a huge boulder half-way up the mountain concealing a cave that extended deep into the ground.

The cave was deserted. From the entrance, it was layered with dense restrictions, clearly laid down by different individuals. As they walked deeper, they also took the opportunity to reinforce the weaker points of these restrictions, making the shelter more secure, benefiting those who came after them as well as themselves.
