Naimei Xue's black veiled mask had already been torn off by Ye Chen, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. The woman possessed a natural, soft charm and, as a ninja from the island nation, exuded a cool and elegant aura that, upon first sight, would leave one in awe—she truly was a beauty beyond compare.

"I mean, what's the point of keeping you alive, then?" Ye Chen said coldly.

"Don't go too far!" Naimei Xue replied icily.

"I'm giving you some face now, letting you enter the stone cave on your own. If you push me too far, I'll just throw you in!" Ye Chen threatened, showing no inclination to be gallant.

"My master is an Indestructible Vajra Gu, a Land God. You dare to force me like this?" Naimei Xue exclaimed angrily.

"Cut the crap! You have two choices, walk in there yourself, or let me throw you in," Ye Chen said impatiently.

"You!"

Naimei Xue pointed at Ye Chen, her rage mixed with humiliation and a hint of madness brewing.

Hmph!

With that, Naimei Xue leapt into the stone cave, ultimately choosing not to break completely with Ye Chen.

Naimei Xue was a smart woman; she knew precisely her situation—her purpose was simply to be expendable fodder.

Stubborn resistance would only provoke Ye Chen's merciless slaughter!

Moreover, Naimei Xue also realized that there was a great opportunity within this cavern, which even a nine-dragon figure like Yun Xianghan took very seriously! Even if she were to rush in first, if the fortune within fell upon her, not only could she escape from her predicament, but she could even turn the tables and kill Ye Chen!

"With a beauty like Naimei Xue, you're always quick to talk about killing her. You really don't cherish beauty," said Yun Xianghan.

"I almost died at her hands just earlier. Why would I show her any pity?" Ye Chen replied.

"Then hurry up and go in! This female ninja is quite cunning. Don't let her snatch our fortune!" Ye Chen's face was full of bitterness and deep resentment, which caused Yun Xianghan to chuckle lightly.

"Right!" Ye Chen also jumped into the stone cave.

"What exactly is in here? It's so intriguing!" Yun Xianghan said.

"Fang, let's go in too!"

Eventually, Ye Chen and his party all stepped into the cave, venturing deep into its recesses.

The entrance to this cave was very narrow, akin to a doghole, but as soon as Ye Chen stepped through this "doghole," he was shocked.

Vast, expansive, limitless—the "doghole" led to a whole different world!

Ye Chen, walking forward, had an expression of pure astonishment that didn't fade, growing more and more amazed.

Clack, clack.

The sound of footsteps echoed. Yun Xianghan and Fang Ruolan moved deeper into the cave, their faces also filled with boundless astonishment.

"How can it be like this?" Yun Xianghan was somewhat incredulous at the sight before them.

After entering the mountain through what seemed like a "doghole," they had seemingly stepped into a grand and majestic realm.

The mountain was completely hollowed out—it was an expansive realm, a vast plain. However, inside the belly of the mountain was extremely dim, with a strange black fog drifting everywhere, causing disquiet in one's heart.

"The whole mountain has been hollowed out leaving only a shell, it's not a "doghole," nor a mere cave, but a realm in its own right!" Ye Chen said with a hint of astonishment.

"This mountain spans thousands of kilometers. Even figures of the nine dragons couldn't hollow out such a massive mountain range!" Yun Xianghan explained. "Furthermore, even for a Land God to hollow out such a large mountain, it would likely be a tremendous effort and take significant time. This realm must have been left by that Saintly Great Power!"

Yun Xianghan knew the "doghole" was extraordinary, but stepping into this realm, she was still somewhat shocked.

"This is the triple heaven of the cavern, the Eternal Heavenly Realm!" The look in Ye Chen's eyes gleamed amidst the dimness. "Of all the layers, the treasures of this heavenly realm are the most precious!"

"This mountain has been hollowed out to form a cavernous holy land, boundless and vast. What unimaginable treasures do you think such a vast holy land might contain?"

The cave dwelling is divided into three realms: the Self-Contentment Realm, the Great Luo Heavenly Realm, and the Eternal Heavenly Realm!

The treasures of the first realm are the least impressive, the second realm's treasures are decent, and the third realm's treasures are the strongest and most rare!

The cavernous holy land that Yun Xianghan discovered is hidden so perfectly, having been carved out of a giant mountain, that surely a sacred powerful being must have hidden wondrous divine artifacts here!

"At the deepest part of this cave dwelling, there's a kind of breath that's attracting me!" Yun Xianghan pointed towards the very depths of the cave dwelling.

They had just stepped into the cave dwelling when they were stunned, rooted to the spot by a compelling breath emanating from deep within the holy land.

"Then let's go there!" Ye Chen's eyes glinted.

"This cavernous holy land is huge, filled with dark mist. We can see in the dark, but we can't see through this dark mist!" Naimei Xue said.

The ninja woman arrived at the cave and wanted to act alone, to take the chance to escape—or even to claim the opportunities here for herself!

However, the hollowed-out mountain was boundless and shrouded in oppressively dark mist, seemingly concealing monsters and demons, which made Naimei Xue hesitant to act rashly.

"Since we've come this far, even if it's a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, we must venture forth!" Ye Chen said. "Besides, with Miss Yun here, a figure of the Nine Dragons, even if there's a dance of demons inside this holy land, what is there to fear?"

Ye Chen looked towards the deepest parts of the dwelling, as if he could see through the limitless dark mist and glimpse the scene at the very heart of it.

"Fang, be careful!" Ye Chen released the Indestructible Vajra Gu and instructed Fang Ruolan to guard herself.

"Okay!" Fang Ruolan nodded obediently.

Ye Chen exuded an inexplicable charm that made even the saintly Fang willingly follow his lead.

"Let's advance towards the depths of the cave dwelling, countless opportunities await us!"

Ye Chen strode confidently through the dark mist, heading towards the deepest reaches of the cave dwelling, towards the place that had drawn him.

"This kid!"

Yun Xianghan's eyes flickered with a peculiar light as she watched Ye Chen's confident figure, and she couldn't help but let out an enigmatic laugh.

Ye Chen wasn't the strongest among them, but he had a quality of leadership, a power that made people trust him.

Although Yun Xianghan was a figure of the Nine Dragons, with cultivation far surpassing Ye Chen's, she lacked that aura.

Ye Chen had imperceptibly become the leader of the group!

"Let's go!"

Naimei Xue's figure swiftly followed behind Ye Chen, stepping into the daunting dark mist.

The cave dwelling was filled with mystery and unpredictability; one couldn't be sure if danger lurked within, but clearly, great opportunities did exist. It just depended on who had the fortune to seize these opportunities.

"Whoosh!"

Yun Xianghan and Fang Ruolan also stepped into the dark mist, carefully following behind Ye Chen, heading towards the depths of the dwelling.

Ye Chen walked lightly, each step carrying him several meters across the ground, leading the way for the three women following.

The entire mountain had been hollowed out, the ceiling a dull gray, encompassed by dark mists all around.

The black mist within this mountain belly, invisible and odorless, its origin unknown, seemed like it had transformed from specters, manifesting into the world.

"Tread, tread!"

Enveloped in boundless dark mist and eerily silent inside the mountain, nothing dangerous or terrifying emerged, only the sound of Ye Chen and the others' footsteps echoed.
