"Fang Ruolan, you just said the Saintess is flawless, but your mentor was once a Saintess too, so she..." Ye Chen seemed to want to know something.

"Ye Chen, are you looking for death?" Fang Ruolan said coldly, a chill also coming over her.

"My mentor is a Land God, an elder who controls ghosts and spirits and can predict the fortunes and misfortunes of all beings. By speaking of her this way, she will sense it from the great beyond!" Fang Ruolan sneered. "If my mentor finds out that you've been talking about her behind her back, not even the Peak Group would be able to save you!"

Land God Immortals are revered by all. Such characters have transcended the masses and possess unimaginably powerful means; Fang Ruolan wasn't merely trying to scare Ye Chen.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was startled, feeling as if there were needles pricking his back, sending shivers down his spine.

...

In the following days, Ye Chen and Fang Ruolan traversed mountains, collecting countless rare herbs and placing them all into the Qiankun Bag.

Ye Chen had obtained some treasures in the First Layer Heaven as well, but they were of little value.

He and Fang Ruolan also encountered some Grandmasters, but they were mostly early-stage Grandmasters, with very few peak Grandmasters staying there.

Ye Chen exchanged information with these Grandmasters and finally learned some news about the cave dwelling.

The treasures of the First Layer Heaven were mediocre and could hardly attract Grandmaster-level figures. Nearly all of the five hundred Grandmasters who entered the cave dwelling were fighting and treasure hunting in the Second and Third Layer Heavens.

However, there were powerful beings who, weary from the killing in the depths of the cave dwelling, would escape back to the First Layer Heaven, finding a secluded place to heal and gather strength.

The depths of the cave dwelling were extremely dangerous, with Grandmasters fighting to the death, and occasionally, terrifying beasts would emerge and trample over the strong.

Moreover, with the tumultuous killing over the past few days, more than a hundred Grandmasters had perished in the cave dwelling!

That is to say, one-fifth of the five hundred Grandmasters who entered the cave dwelling had fallen!

Upon learning this news, Ye Chen was shocked for a long time; a hundred Grandmasters had already died in the cave dwelling, the battles of the past few days were truly too fierce!

However, among the five hundred Grandmasters, there were those who encountered great fortune; some found precious treasures, others sacred martial tomes, and some obtained ancient divine pills!

These individuals encountered opportunities and received heaven-defying transformations, their cultivation soaring in a short period of time, earning them the right to look down upon their peers!

On the seventh day of the cave dwelling's opening, Ye Chen finally finished gathering the old medicine from the mountains.

Ye Chen, holding a large machete, grasped Fang's jade-like hand—imposing and invincible—as he arrived at the entrance to the Second Layer Heaven.

After seven days of lying low, Ye Chen finally decided to enter the deeper parts of the cave dwelling, to compete with the heroes for chance and destiny!

"Boom!"

Just as Ye Chen and Fang Ruolan were about to step into the Second Layer Heaven, the entrance to the second layer suddenly erupted with supreme power, and a group of people covered in blood were transported back to the First Layer Heaven.

"Too terrifying, that Nine Dragons revered figure seemed to have gone mad, slaughtering dozens of Grandmasters!"

"Such might is almost comparable to a Land God; had we not escaped swiftly, we would have been forcibly slain by that powerful being!"

"What they were fighting over was a small earthen pot—what on earth is inside that could make such a person act so ferociously?"

"When we retreated, it seemed like a fearsome beast had emerged, actually capable of standing up to that peerless individual!"

"Surely there's an earth-shattering secret inside that small earthen pot; the warlords of the chaotic world must have been alerted by now!"

These were transcendent Grandmasters, and among them was mingled a presence as vigorous as that of a dragon; that Qingyun figure had also returned with serious injuries.

These people all bore horrifying wounds, some still bleeding profusely, clearly having been on the brink of death just moments before!

"Hmm?"

This group of Grandmasters, numbering over a dozen, were all momentarily stunned upon seeing Ye Chen holding a large machete and leading a beautiful woman by the hand.

The slaughter in the depths of the dungeon was incredibly brutal. Each emergence of a treasure sparked a terrifying massacre. Countless Grandmasters were bleeding and injured, and even those counted among the peerless elite of Qingyun were in a sorry state!

Ye Chen was dressed in a suit, looking like the young master of a wealthy family, without a hint of dishevelment. He was holding a machete that gleamed with cold light and was casually holding hands with a cool and aloof beauty.

This bizarre scene left the group of Grandmasters dumbfounded.

All Grandmasters possessed an extraordinary demeanor, but after several days of desperate fighting, even the esteemed figures among the Peak Group were somewhat disheveled. Who could maintain their composure?

But Ye Chen did. Not only did he look suave and unrestrained, but he was also holding a beautiful woman's hand.

Where did this guy come from, and how could he be living so comfortably? How had he not suffered persecution by the multitude of strong contenders?

Had it not been for the extremely powerful aura that Ye Chen radiated, these strong individuals would have been unable to refrain from laughing out loud. When had such a pretty boy appeared in the dungeon?

"No, that's the youngster from the Peak Group!" one of them exclaimed as he recognized Ye Chen.

"It's him, I've seen this man before!"

A few of the Grandmasters showed looks of amazement, having lost out at the Peak Group, recognizing this monstrous genius.

"Esteemed seniors, was there a fierce slaughter in the second layer of heaven?" Ye Chen asked.

"Indeed, a soil pot appeared in the third layer of heaven, which a peak Grandmaster obtained. However, the moment he took possession of the pot was witnessed, leading to chaos!"

"Once the news of the soil pot spread, Qingyun powerhouses made their move to snatch it, and as a result, numerous heroes engaged in a bloody scramble for it. In the end, even figures from the Peak Group joined in!"

"Now, many warriors are fighting in the second layer of heaven, and a terrifying beast has descended; it's unknown how many have perished!"

The Grandmasters spoke at length with Ye Chen, openly laying out the whole situation without hiding anything from him.

In fact, even if they hadn't shared this information, Ye Chen would have heard it upon venturing deeper into the dungeon.

"Thank you!" Ye Chen nodded in thanks.

It seems another treasure has emerged in the depths of the dungeon, inciting figures from the Peak Group to take action!

"Are you going?" a Grandmaster asked, visibly moved.

"That place is extremely dangerous. Even without directly participating, one might be affected. You should wait until the situation calms down before going!" someone else said kindly.

"I must go, no matter the difficulties and dangers!" Ye Chen smiled.

"I didn't expect that while I was playing with Fang Ruolan amidst these verdant hills and clear waters for seven days, my first foray into the depths of the dungeon would coincide with such a grand event!"

"The emergence of this treasure seems to be heralding my arrival, I can hardly wait!"

"What could be inside that soil pot? Just thinking about it makes me a bit excited!"

Finally, Ye Chen, mumbling to himself, holding his machete and Fang's delicate hand, stepped into the second layer of heaven.

"..."

Ye Chen's behavior was utterly audacious, making the group of Grandmasters feel the urge to cover their faces.

"Who is this youngster, such a young Grandmaster!"

"Indeed, this man is so young, and the woman by his side too. Who are they?"

"This brash youngster has a terrifying aura that could actually rival Qingyun, truly astonishing!"

After Ye Chen and Fang Ruolan left, those Grandmasters who were unaware of Ye Chen's deeds all began to express their shock.
