Dear readers, please help by following the account.

"Could it be that my family, the Poison Demon, is right inside?" Gu Qingfeng exclaimed in wild joy. "Heh heh heh... my dear family, this Emperor is coming."

Saying this, he plunged headfirst into the cave, paying absolutely no heed to any formations or traps that might be present.

Don't ask why; the answer is simply concern for one's family.

One hundred zhang, one thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang... this cavern seemed like a bottomless pit, its depths unfathomable.

As he ventured deeper, the poisonous fog inside became increasingly dense, rolling like billowing smoke signals. Let alone being poisonous, just the thickness of it was enough to choke a person to death.

Yet, upon entering this environment, Gu Qingfeng felt like a fish in water, becoming increasingly carefree and spirited.

Finally, at a depth of one hundred thousand zhang! He reached the bottom!

The scene before his eyes instantly changed.

It transformed into an underground world, immensely vast, stretching beyond what the eye could see.

What was eerie, however, was that the area was densely packed with graves, standing in great numbers like a forest. Before every grave stood a tombstone.

Wisps of poisonous fog circled around the graves, adding an extra layer of gloom and horror to the atmosphere.

"Is this an underground mausoleum?"

Gu Qingfeng walked toward the nearest grave. He saw carved upon it: Grave of Luo Bi, Twenty-Seventh Generation True Disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect.

He withdrew his gaze, strode forward, and looked at another grave.

"Grave of Fu Zimin, Twenty-Eighth Generation Inner Sect Disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect."

He continued walking and looking.

"Grave of Ge Zishi, Twenty-Sixth Generation Inner Sect Elder of the Flying Immortal Sect."

"Grave of Kang Wenshan, Twenty-Eighth Generation Outer Sect Disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect."

"Flying Immortal Sect Twenty..."

Gu Qingfeng looked all along the way and discovered that these disciples were basically from the twenty-sixth to the twenty-eighth generations. Furthermore, the calligraphy on the tombstones all came from the hand of a single person.

From this, it was not hard to imagine that the Flying Immortal Sect met its demise during the period of the twenty-sixth to twenty-eighth generations. They suffered a sudden calamity and were completely wiped out. However, there was one survivor who gathered everyone's corpses and erected monuments for them.

Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng's gaze narrowed slightly. Deep within the graveyard, he discovered a skeleton—a pitch-black skeleton.

It was somewhat jarring; everyone else had a tombstone, yet this skeleton alone did not. The corpse lay exposed in the open.

Moreover, the arm of this skeleton was resting upon an unfinished tombstone.

Written upon it was: Twenty-Fifth Generation Sect Leader of the Flying Immortal Sect... The writing came to an abrupt halt right there.

Behind the tombstone was a large pit, which contained no skeletal remains.

Gu Qingfeng stepped forward to examine the skeleton. He discovered that the Heavenly Poison power contained within it was extremely rich, simply dozens of times more potent than the Immortal King bone outside.

This secretly startled him. For this skeleton to withstand Heavenly Poison dozens of times stronger than an Immortal King's capacity—and judging by appearances, without having entered the Dao through poison—and still preserve the bones, it indicated that this person's strength in life far exceeded that of an Immortal King.

Combining this with the unfinished tombstone and the empty pit, he speculated that this person was likely the Sect Leader of the Flying Immortal Sect.

He had probably relied on his formidable strength to survive until the very end, personally erecting monuments for his disciples. However, because the poison had run deep, after carving tombstones for everyone else, when it came time to erect his own, he only carved halfway before his breath was cut off and he died. In the end, he didn't even leave behind a name.

He built graves for everyone, yet he was the only one without one.

Gu Qingfeng sighed slightly with emotion. "Those who carry firewood for the masses must not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow."

He decided to show some kindness and do a good deed by laying this nameless Sect Leader to rest. It was evident that the other party's dying wish was to be buried together with his disciples.

Thus, he reached out his hand and absorbed the Heavenly Poison power from the skeleton until it was exhausted.

The originally pitch-black skeleton turned into jade bone.

In an instant, a golden light flashed across the jade bone.

Dense, golden runes emerged on the jade bone. These runes were like the patterns of the Great Dao, mysterious and profound, flowing quietly over the jade bone like ripples of water.

"This is..." Gu Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

Just as he was marveling, the golden runes actually drilled into his body along his arm like tadpoles.

He was greatly shocked. Before he had time to react, there was a sudden boom in his mind, as if something had exploded.

A mysterious and profound technique surged into his heart.

For a moment, Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned golden, with endless Great Dao runes flowing within them.

Several hours later, Gu Qingfeng came back to his senses, a flash of joy passing through his eyes.

This technique was actually a divine ability, an escape technique divine ability named: Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

The opening passage stated that the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens represented the ultimate speed. Cultivated to grand completion, one could even fly beyond the heavens and roam upon the River of Time. It was the untold secret of the Flying Immortal Sect.

"Heh heh heh... indeed, good people are rewarded."

After Gu Qingfeng buried the skeleton of the Flying Immortal Sect's Leader, he thought for a moment, then pulled out that Immortal King skeleton from his Universe Ring. He erected a grave next to the leader and buried it inside as well.

"A family ought to be all together, neat and tidy."

Subsequently, he continued walking toward the depths.

In the extreme distance, there was a black, illusory gateway connecting heaven and earth, resembling the door to another world, incredibly vast.

And all the poison gas was emanating from this illusory gate.

Looking at this gate, Gu Qingfeng smiled. "Heh heh heh... is my dear family sealed in there? Don't be afraid, this Emperor is here to save you!"

As he spoke, he sacrificed six Immortal King weapons and smashed them ruthlessly toward the gateway.

Boom!

Endless divine light erupted; the entire cavern shook as if the earth were moving and mountains were swaying, sending soil and rocks flying.

However, what greatly surprised Gu Qingfeng was that the gateway was actually smashed open—broken in a single strike.

It wasn't even as durable as the Heaven-Ascending Stairs outside.

"What kind of tofu-dreg project is this?" he complained.

However, after seeing the rich poison gas spilling out from inside, Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood.

Having undergone the washing of eons of time and the dual corrosion of the poison gas, this gateway's power was likely long past its prime, which was why it shattered in one blow.

In the end, it was still his family that was impressive.

This made Gu Qingfeng look forward to it even more.

Without another word, he charged directly into the gateway. Then, he was dumbfounded.

Where is the family?! Where is this Emperor's dear family?

Behind the gateway was a narrow, small cave. It was empty of people, containing only rich poison gas.

And the source of the poison gas was distinctly a drop of black blood.

Like a drop of ink, it floated quietly in mid-air.

"You've got to be kidding me. Is this Emperor's family just a drop of blood? Or has the family long since been slain by the Flying Immortal Sect, leaving only a drop of blood?"

It shouldn't be the latter. If the Flying Immortal Sect could truly kill the Poison Demon, then why leave a drop of blood sealed here?

"Could it be that the family really is just a drop of blood? Then why call it Poison Demon? Might as well call it Blood Demon. Eh! Wait, why does the name Blood Demon sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Qingfeng couldn't recall who the Blood Demon was, but it didn't matter anymore.

A name that sounded like a third-rate evil spirit had no future.

He cast his gaze toward the pitch-black blood in front of him and attempted to communicate a couple of times. The result was that the other party acted like a dead object, giving no response whatsoever.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that in the corner of the cave's stone wall, there seemed to be a painting carved there.

It was even a comic strip.

The first scene depicted a cataclysmic upheaval of heaven and earth. Countless living beings raised their heads, gazing toward the sky in terror. In the depths of the firmament, two indistinct, transcendent figures appeared to be locked in combat.

The second scene revealed a strange blood descending from the heavens; a single droplet, pitch-black as ink, dripped down.

In the third scene, this alien blood struck the earth. Billowing mist surged outward, leaving absolute desolation in its wake where not a single blade of grass remained. The crowds were seized by panic; countless people were poisoned to death, while those who survived the toxin descended into madness, unleashing a frenzy of slaughter.
