Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang traveled through several cities, with Lu Changsheng displaying surprising skills in both poison immunity and divination. Meanwhile, the Six Paths Demon Consort recognized Lu Changsheng from a past encounter and plotted revenge, though she hesitated due to his companions. Lu Changsheng, aware of a potential child with the Demon Consort, decided to avoid her and focused on his relationship with Yun Wanshang. They ventured into the Forbidden Mountain for a year, depleting their resources, before being engulfed by a mysterious, deathly mist.

"Golden Peng!"

Having learned from the prior encounter with the ghost ship, Lu Changsheng, determined to avoid being separated by the encroaching black fog, immediately clasped Yun Wanshang's delicate, boneless jade hand and Qian Zhuyan's cool, metallic mechanical arm. He called out to the majestic Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng soaring in the heavens.

"Chirp!"

Responding with a piercing cry, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng unfurled its immense wings and descended rapidly. It stayed close to Lu Changsheng, its powerful form working in unison with them as they all strained to break free from the obscuring black fog.

Yet, the vast, nebulous black fog acted like a colossal, unseen net, ensnaring them completely, rendering any sense of direction utterly lost.

Glancing around, the only sight visible was the pervasive black fog, resembling an unending, desolate netherworld, enveloped in a chilling, silent aura of dread.

Lu Changsheng earnestly turned to Yun Wanshang, seeking to know if she understood the nature of their predicament.

However, Yun Wanshang remained ignorant of the phenomenon.

Despite spending over two decades within the Land of Eternal Night, she had never once encountered or even heard of such a bizarre situation.

"This forbidden mountain range, while abundant in spiritual treasures, is also fraught with enigmatic mysteries; it appears we've stumbled upon one such enigma," Yun Wanshang stated gravely.

She shared Lu Changsheng's conviction that the world's strangeness and its hidden secrets were merely a consequence of insufficient power, preventing them from fully comprehending or unraveling its depths.

"Do you see any light ahead?"

At that precise moment, Qian Zhuyan's sharp gaze detected a faint, intermittent glimmer emanating from within the expanse of the black fog. She voiced her observation.

"Let's investigate," Lu Changsheng declared.

A golden luminescence flickered within Lu Changsheng's eyes as he keenly scanned their surroundings. After a brief period of contemplation, he made the decisive choice to advance and explore the source of the light.

The soft scuffing of their footsteps was remarkably distinct, echoing in the profound, silent, and lifeless shroud of fog.

Before long, upon reaching the glimmer, Lu Changsheng beheld an ancient, venerable well standing silently before them.

This ancient well seemed to have witnessed the passage of eons, radiating an ineffable aura of mystery and profound antiquity, with a soft luminescence pulsing from its depths.

"Reincarnation Well..."

Lu Changsheng whispered the words, a name that surfaced in his mind unbidden.

Though he had never laid eyes on this well before, the instant his gaze fell upon it, he inexplicably knew its designation.

The Reincarnation Well possessed the mystic ability to reveal a person's past life, their current existence, and their potential future.

Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed deeply. He had never anticipated encountering such a world-altering artifact within the confines of the Land of Eternal Night.

Reincarnation?

How could such a profound concept be within the grasp of cultivators at the Core Formation or even Nascent Soul stages?

What was the true nature of this peculiar world?

Despite a potent urge to gaze into his own present and future, a future already assured by the immortal path laid out by his System, an innate sense of caution compelled him to retreat, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

However, with desolation and silence pressing in from all sides, and the black fog a suffocating blanket around them, he had no idea which direction offered a path to retreat.

Furthermore, observing Yun Wanshang standing placidly beside the well, her presence there seemingly coincidental, her gaze fixed upon the Reincarnation Well, Lu Changsheng felt an unsettling premonition.

His memories felt fragmented, disoriented...

"What is happening right now?"

Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed intensely as he witnessed Yun Wanshang's expression shift and morph unnaturally. After a moment's hesitation, he instinctively moved forward, his gaze drawn to the luminescent Reincarnation Well.

In that instant, visions surged through his mind with blinding speed, akin to a rapid slideshow, as if he were witnessing his own present and future unfold before him.

He saw himself with Yun Wanshang, navigating perilous trials, ultimately escaping the Land of Eternal Night, and both achieving the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage...

"Lu Changsheng, escaping the Land of Eternal Night this time and achieving the Nascent Soul breakthrough are all thanks to you. Such a profound debt of gratitude, how can I possibly repay it?"

Upon a vast, boundless ocean, a gentle breeze whispered past.

Yun Wanshang's vibrantly colored palace dress rippled, accentuating her flawless and alluring figure. Her eyes, like tranquil autumn water, moved softly, betraying a hint of shyness yet holding a calm sense of anticipation as she spoke.

"Between you and me, there's no need to speak of repayment," Lu Changsheng replied.

Lu Changsheng's gaze fell upon the beauty's subtly rounded belly. The corners of his lips curved upward slightly as he let out a soft chuckle: "Back then, the True Man promised to officiate the wedding for Xi Yue and me but departed abruptly. As compensation, then..."

"Hmph, I knew you had ulterior motives," Yun Wanshang playfully retorted.

Her beautiful eyes twinkled with the depth of autumn waves as she let out a light scolding, yet she still nodded in agreement.

However, as the pair joyously journeyed back towards the Jiang Country, they were met with a devastating sight: Bi Lake Mountain lay in ruins, and Great Dream Immortal City had crumbled into dust...

In that horrifying instant, Lu Changsheng's spiritual consciousness reeled, teetering on the brink of madness.

The greatest fear during his travels had always been an extended absence, fearing that his home might encounter disaster, especially the calamity foretold by a previous divination.

And now, this devastating vision struck him with the force of a physical blow!

"This cannot be!"

Lu Changsheng bellowed, his eyes wide with horror. The blood-red pupils seemed to expand from his eyeballs across his cheeks, plunging him into agonizing pain and overwhelming guilt.

At that critical juncture, a surge of pure Qi mysteriously erupted, stabilizing his convulsing Soul Consciousness.

A violent trembling shook the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror residing on Lu Changsheng's chest, accompanied by a surge of ice and fire Qi that seemed to stir his consciousness back to awareness.

"Master! Master!"

A Wu's dispassionate voice resonated within his mind, clear as a tolling bell.

Lu Changsheng's entire frame jolted as he immediately perceived the peril. His Qi and Blood churned, and the crimson hue that had clouded his pupils noticeably receded.

His gaze swept across his surroundings.

He found himself ensnared within a cramped, suffocating darkness. Eerie, swirling mists pressed in like a pestilence that clung to the bone, yet they were utterly repelled by the protective barrier of the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

"What manner of malevolence crafts such lifelike phantasms, trapping me within them without my slightest awareness..."

A profound dread gripped Lu Changsheng as he grasped that the preceding visions, the ones involving the Reincarnation Well, had been nothing more than deceptions.

From the instant the abyssal, silent black fog had enveloped him, he had been subtly ensnared within a particular illusory realm.

It wasn't merely an illusion.

This encroaching void ceaselessly gnawed at his Physical Body and Soul, attempting to subjugate him and transform him into a mindless automaton.
