Ming Yun, desperate to escape capture by the Youfeng Zhang Family, throws out all the stolen spiritual objects. However, the pursuers reveal they are not after the items, but his head, seeking to restore the Zhang Family's honor. To survive, Ming Yun consumes a special pill to recover from his injuries and creates a chaotic storm to cover his escape, but the pursuers use a compass artifact to continue tracking him.

"His sudden complete recovery just now must be due to taking the Immortal Ascension Pill. He won’t be able to maintain it for long, and once the effect wears off, he has no choice but death!"

"Although this is the case, we’ve been away from the family for a long time. If we don’t hurry back, there might truly be changes in the family." Another Profound Immortal shared his opinion.

Zhang Daotong pondered for a moment and said, "Keep pursuing for a while. If he can escape in this situation, let him live a bit longer."

Although they couldn’t use Ming Yun’s head to assert dominance, the family was still more important than that.

Since the massive theft of Spiritual Objects, the Zhang Family has been targeted by many forces, exposing severe issues in their presence, so everyone wants a hefty piece of them!

Perhaps some forces are already secretly probing, just waiting to act once they get answers.

...

Meanwhile.

Ming Yun appeared, extremely disheveled, in a vast unknown chaos, reflecting on how far he had fled, murmuring, "I should have shaken them off, right?"

Actually, he wasn’t very confident about that. Previously, he exhausted every means without shaking off their pursuit. Could a Chaotic Storm truly make him safe?

So he didn’t stop but continued flying in a certain direction, trying to escape as far as possible before the pill’s effect faded.

...

The flowers bloom in two branches, each showcasing its beauty.

At this moment, Li Zhirui was walking in The Void with Qing Si, continuing his training journey.

However, probably due to a recent refining Gu experience that caused heavy casualties to the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, their chances of encountering Fierce Beasts were significantly reduced.

During this time, they discovered a Fierce Beast.

Moreover, its strength was quite formidable, and after a fierce battle, Li Zhirui was not its match and had to choose to flee to narrowly escape disaster.

"Alas! I didn’t expect the training in The Void to become exceptionally difficult." He sighed helplessly.

Qing Si was understanding and comforted, "Jiu, isn’t this a normal development? With the elevation of Realm and cultivation, training conditions also become higher and more dangerous."

"Indeed..."

So, the deeper one’s cultivation in the Realm, the more crucial comprehension and opportunities become, whereas training and combat methods gradually lose effectiveness.

Yet, in the next instant, Li Zhirui crushed all these negative emotions before they could affect his Mental State.

At present, he didn’t need to consider such matters; only a Golden Immortal would ponder them.

Time silently passed by unnoticed.

Li Zhirui and Qing Si experienced a tranquil Void Chaos journey, during which they obtained few Spiritual Objects.

However, he used this time to comprehend various Methods from the previous encounter with Profound Immortal Ming Yu, mainly to broaden his horizons and see if there were any Methods or certain Cultivation Techniques useful to him.

Regarding this matter, Li Zhirui’s harvest was relatively abundant.

For instance, he mastered the Pill Recipe for the Immortal Ascension Pill, initially attracted by its effects.

Being able to instantly suppress all injuries and fully restore one’s state was extremely tempting.

After all, anyone might encounter a dire life-or-death situation, and taking an Immortal Ascension Pill at that moment could save one’s life!

As for the negative effects, he could understand them.

As an Alchemist, naturally, he was eager to master this Pill Recipe.

If the negative effects could be mitigated or entirely resolved, the value of the Immortal Ascension Pill would be unparalleled!

Therefore, Li Zhirui spent some time theoretically mastering the refining method for the Immortal Ascension Pill.

But without Spiritual Objects, even the most resourceful cook can’t prepare without ingredients. He had no way to experiment with refining.

As for substituting other Spiritual Objects? It was indeed a good idea; he had considered it.

However, he only knew the names of those Spiritual Objects, knowing nothing about their effects or properties, so how could he use other Spiritual Objects as substitutes?

So he had to temporarily abandon the idea, waiting for future opportunities to gather those Spiritual Objects.

Boom—

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion sounded ahead, jolting Li Zhirui from his thoughts.

Judging by the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, it definitely wasn’t something that two Profound Immortals could cause, unless they were at the pinnacle of Profound Immortals.

"Jiu, should we go take a look?" Qing Si was somewhat eager; past benefits made him keen to reap the fishermen’s gains.

Li Zhirui seriously contemplated for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Better not. This battle looks complicated; it’s best not to get mixed up in this chaos."

"Alright." Qing Si had no choice but to reluctantly agree, as the decision wasn’t his to make.

Following this, the pair journeyed in a different direction.

However, certain predicaments cannot be evaded simply by altering one's course.

"Damn it all!"

While engaged in cultivation within another chaotic territory, Li Zhirui suddenly perceived a beam of Spirit Light hurtling towards them from a distance, carrying a figure. He couldn't help but utter a soft curse as it drew nearer.

The very situation he wished to avoid had materialized; trouble had arrived uninvited!

Upon recognizing the individual, his annoyance only intensified.

He had only conducted a single transaction with this person, yet found himself entangled once more?

The Spirit Light conveyed none other than Ming Yun, an acquaintance from a previous encounter.

In truth, from their initial meeting, Li Zhirui had surmised that Ming Yun's injuries were not the result of a Chaotic Fierce Beast, but inflicted by fellow cultivators.

Consequently, there was a high probability that Ming Yun was being pursued, which prompted Li Zhirui's decision to depart and steer clear of conflict.

This strategy had proven effective initially, but who could have foreseen such a reunion amidst grave peril?

"Esteemed Daoist, I implore you to save me and preserve my life." Ming Yun, startled by this unexpected encounter with Li Zhirui, transitioned from shock to a surge of excited joy.

Yet, after a moment's consideration, his expression faltered, freezing instantly. He was merely at the early stage of Profound Immortal, whereas Zhang Daotong and his two companions were significantly stronger, surpassing him in both Realm and cultivation.

Therefore, encountering Li Zhirui did not guarantee his safety and might even draw them into the danger.

Nevertheless, facing an immediate threat to his life, Ming Yun could not afford to dwell on such concerns.

"Begone with you!"

Li Zhirui produced a long staff, directing it at the approaching Ming Yun, determined to minimize contact and hoping to repel him outright.

"If you will kindly save me, Esteemed Daoist, I am willing to reveal the location of the Tao Spirit Realm!"

Maintaining a safe distance from the staff's reach, Ming Yun pleaded earnestly, his eyes conveying a sense of desperation,
