In an instant, the entire Suspended Island's heavenly atmosphere froze like ice, the space seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, even the drifting clouds in mid-air stood still.

Mu Chunqiu, clad in a dark Daoist robe, was surrounded by a terrifying Nascent Soul pressure, each wisp of his aura seemingly capable of tearing space apart. His gaze, sharp like a sword, focused directly on Lu Yan, with unfathomable light flickering in his eyes.

Yet more terrifying was the transformation in the entire world, as if the depths of the earth on the Floating Island, the stars above, and all living beings were gazing along with Mu Chunqiu, as if the world upon which the Floating Island rested was operating in tandem with Mu Chunqiu's will.

"Do you even know what you are talking about?"

Mu Chunqiu demanded, each word carrying an overwhelming pressure, rippling layers of waves in the void.

The aura of the Nascent Soul True Monarch swept through the world, pressing on Lu Yan like an immense ocean, each speck of dust on the Suspended Island crystallized in mid-air, all beings watching Lu Yan, awaiting his response.

Even when facing Mu Chunqiu, who was just a step away from the Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch, and enduring pressure nearly beyond the Nascent Soul Realm's scope, Lu Yan's heart showed not the slightest hint of fear.

Long before coming to the Taiyi Sect, Lu Yan had contemplated how he might gain the opportunity to meet the Taiyi Immortal from Mu Chunqiu.

Lu Yan understood clearly that merely a promise could never exchange for such a precious opportunity, but he had another card in hand, which is the Chang Chun Skill inscribed in the Beimang Tomb in the urban version!

As the first Cultivation Technique in the Spiritual Energy Revival version, Lu Yan spread the technique to promote the revival of Spiritual Qi, and its spread into the Xianxia version was entirely unexpected.

Lu Yan was unsure to what extent the Chang Chun Skill had evolved with the version updates, or what changes the updates had brought.

However, Lu Yan was certain that there must be connections between the Chang Chun Skill across different versions. Additionally, Lu Yan, having personally traversed numerous versions, had an extremely clear understanding of different versions, greatly increasing the likelihood he could analyze the Chang Chun Skill that had evolved into the Longevity Immortal Technique.

It was precisely because of this card that Lu Yan had the confidence to suggest assisting Mu Chunqiu in comprehending the Longevity Immortal Technique.

As thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind, Lu Yan calmly said:

"The Longevity Immortal Technique within the Beimang Tomb does not originate from this world!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Nascent Soul pressure displayed by Mu Chunqiu seemed to loosen, granting Lu Yan a moment to breathe.

Correspondingly, the focus from Mu Chunqiu, whose body was merged with the world, intensified as Lu Yan's words were spoken.

Invisible gazes fell upon Lu Yan, as if intending to thoroughly see through him.

"Continue."

Mu Chunqiu expressed indifferently with a hint of encouragement.

Recognizing that Mu Chunqiu evidently believed him to some extent, Lu Yan knew that the Longevity Immortal Technique was of significant importance, requiring his subsequent actions to prove its value.

With a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth, Lu Yan solemnly said:

"I have some understanding of the origins of the Longevity Immortal Technique, even a faint recognition of its initial essence, all of which is associated with the external sect's demonic beings I once encountered.

If True Monarch Mu can provide the Longevity Immortal Technique for my perusal, I am confident in assisting True Monarch Mu to comprehend the Longevity Immortal Technique and step into the Divinity Transformation Realm. I only hope to exchange these insights for an opportunity to compete for the Taiyi Sect's true inheritance."

Mu Chunqiu did not immediately agree but instead cast a deep glance at Lu Yan.

"External sect demonic beings."

Mu Chunqiu whispered, a trace of sigh and indescribable relief in his voice.

Moments later, the pressure on the Suspended Island dissipated entirely, even the world's scrutiny of Lu Yan vanished, as Mu Chunqiu sat back on the Spirit Pool Lotus Platform and slowly spoke:

"Behind the Beimang Tomb lies that mysterious and unpredictable Underworld, as if they suddenly stepped out of myth and legend, descending upon the Cultivation Realm.

In the history of the Cultivation Realm, there have been several similar occurrences, but ultimately proven to be the methods of external sect demonic beings, eradicated by the Celestial Dao and the Immortals.

Yet the Underworld, with its grand momentum, has not incurred the Celestial Dao's disfavor or provoked any Immortal action.

Even the Underworld Envoy causing havoc in the Southern Region, the Cyan Simurgh Sect only dispatched two Nascent Soul Elders to the Nine Nether Immortal City, with no Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs investigating, nor any True Immortal decrees issued.

It seems that both the Celestial Dao and the Immortals have accepted the Underworld's existence, as if they inherently belong to this world.

This is precisely why I could study the Longevity Immortal Technique emerging from the Beimang Tomb with peace of mind, rather than viewing it as residual evidence of an external sect demonic incursion."

Hearing Mu Chunqiu's explanation, Lu Yan's heart suddenly clenched.

As the creator of the Underworld, he was acutely aware of what a hollow framework the Underworld was, with all its myth and legend tied solely to himself.

In such a scenario, the so-called Underworld possessed characteristics of the Unchanging, capable of crossing various versions, maintaining its consistency, unlike This World's Only One, confined to just one version.

This situation may remain unremarkable in other versions, but in the Xianxia version, where version invasion has become a phenomenon, the mythology behind the Underworld indeed reveals many unusual aspects.

"If they do not actively meddle to alter the version shock value, with the Unchanging traits, they indeed would not provoke the Celestial Dao's hostility.

Coupled with the Underworld mythology causing more disruptions in other versions, transferring to the Xianxia version left only an informational reflection, which spared the Underworld from catching the Immortals' attention."
