The summit of Mist Sea Volcano Island.

The martial artists on both sides of the Life and Death Bridge looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

Even middle-stage Human Emperors like Lou Qianzhong and Zong Lian found crossing the bridge difficult. Even Lin Mu, a genius from East Spirit Immortal Pond, couldn't run across the Life and Death Bridge.

But this young one in the Divine Origin Realm, actually used running!

The most terrifying part was Ling Feng brought two people with him!

"Damn it, am I seeing things?"

Lou Qianzhong stared dumbfounded at the scene, unwilling to believe his eyes.

Zong Lian's mouth twitched in disbelief; he felt deceived by his sight as well.

Having personally experienced the difficulty of crossing the Life and Death Bridge, he was shocked by how easily this youngling raced across it.

"Interesting! That girl seems to have met quite an intriguing individual!"

Even Lin Mu squinted thoughtfully at Ling Feng, quickly returning to his lazy and unrestrained demeanor.

It wasn't until Ling Feng easily reached the altar, letting the two women down effortlessly, without even breaking a sweat, that the crowd came alive.

The martial artists yet to cross the bridge glimpsed at each other, suddenly rushing forward to step onto the Life and Death Bridge.

They probably thought the terrifying pressure was gone, allowing Ling Feng to cross so effortlessly.

However, as soon as the first group rushed onto the Life and Death Bridge, they let out a muffled grunt and hurriedly retreated.

The pressure on the Life and Death Bridge had not diminished in the slightest; if anything, it grew worse as the fog from below began to engulf the mountain again.

"How... how is this possible?"

"Damn, is that guy a monster?"

Those Loose Cultivators who narrowly escaped death looked at Ling Feng in astonishment, wondering how someone using no Magic Treasure could simply breeze through the Life and Death Bridge.

What kind of abnormality is this?

As the fog gradually crept up from below, those unable to cross the Life and Death Bridge had no choice but to abandon the endeavor, fearing descent would be even more treacherous come nightfall.

On the other side of the Life and Death Bridge, Lou Qianzhong was completely staggered by Ling Feng's astonishing feat, circling him like finding an invaluable treasure.

After a while, Lou Qianzhong pointed at his own nose and said, "Kid, do you know who I am?"

Ling Feng touched his nose lightly and said, "Senior, aren't you the Qianzhong Building Owner, Lou Qianzhong?"

"Hahaha! That's right, I'm Lou Qianzhong, you're impressive, I've taken a liking to you!" Lou Qianzhong laughed boisterously.

"..."

Ling Feng's mouth twitched, "Um, Senior, I don't have interest in that regard."

"Hmm?" Lou Qianzhong's pupils shrank, suddenly cursing, "Nonsense, what do you mean I have such interests? I like your talent, how about becoming my disciple?"

"Sorry, Senior, I already have a Master."

Ling Feng shook his head, showing no intention of becoming an apprentice.

Lou Qianzhong was a bit taken aback, speaking casually, but he didn't expect Ling Feng to refuse him so bluntly.

For someone like him, one of the Top Ten Human Emperors of the Inner Sea, who wouldn't want to be his disciple?

"Kid, are you saying your Master is more skilled than I am?" Ling Feng's refusal made Lou Qianzhong even more eager to accept him.

"In terms of cultivation, perhaps not. But as the saying goes, 'Master for a day, Father for life.' Senior, can a father be casually replaced?"

Ling Feng looked at Lou Qianzhong and calmly replied.

"This..." Lou Qianzhong's expression changed slightly, staring at Ling Feng for a moment before retracting his gaze.

"Fine, fine! No apprenticeship then! You are quite interesting!"

Lou Qianzhong patted Ling Feng's shoulder, chuckled, "You can't replace your father, so at least call me Brother Lou, alright?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, easily amused by the situation, not losing out by calling him Brother Lou as this man was a Senior Expert.

"Alright, Brother Lou!" Ling Feng shook his head, smiled, and called softly.

"Hahaha, that's the spirit!" Lou Qianzhong laughed heartily, squinting at Zong Lian, "Some people better keep their eyes wide open. This young man is now my brother, anyone daring to touch him can give it a try!"

Zong Lian's pupils shrank, quickly hiding any ill intentions.

Lou Qianzhong was not to be provoked!

Despite his self-labeled position as the Qianzhong Building Owner, he was actually a lone wolf; anger him, and he would retaliate without hesitation.

Hence, there was a widespread saying in the Inner Sea: Better challenge Murong, than provoke Qianzhong!

Murong referred to the Murong Family, while Qianzhong referred to Lou Qianzhong.

Ling Feng smiled faintly; Lou Qianzhong was unexpectedly loyal.

"Hehe!"

Lou Qianzhong grinned, then his expression turned solemn, and he leaped onto the central altar, shouting, "Alright, the hour is upon us, everyone enter the large scope of the Array, hehe, best to keep vigilant, although this Array may lead directly to Miracle Sea, it isn't safe. Who knows what awaits on the other side? To survive, be prepared for battle anytime!"

Hearing this, as the last ray of the setting sun vanished, the night enveloped the sky, changing everyone's expressions. They quickly stepped onto the altar, entering the Formation.

Ling Feng did not delay, taking Tuoba Yan and the two women into the approximately ten-foot wide Formation.

Lan Yuhuang lowered her voice, speaking softly to Ling Feng, "Hey, Fatty, you're lucky this time, having Lou Qianzhong to watch your back!"

Ling Feng chuckled softly. Once in Miracle Sea, who knows who would be supporting whom? As for Zong Lian, he never saw him as a threat from the beginning.

Counting the numbers, aside from Lou Qianzhong, Zong Lian, Lin Mu, Ling Feng, plus two additional Human Emperors who crossed the Life and Death Bridge on their own, alongside Lin Mu and Ling Feng each bringing two, there were ten people altogether in total.

This number, compared to the plethora of Loose Cultivators spread across the mountain earlier, reflected a passage rate of less than one-tenth, underscoring the immense difficulty of crossing the Life and Death Bridge.

The Array was ten feet in diameter, comfortably accommodating all ten.

Ling Feng carefully examined the Formation, noticing some ancient inscriptions. Luckily, having studied ancient languages at Heavenly Position Academy to read ancient texts, he could barely decipher the inscriptions.

"JiuMuu City, cast by the Five Elements Venerable!"

This altar, it seemed, was crafted by a past figure known as the Five Elements Venerable.

"JiuMuu City, what kind of place is that?" Ling Feng murmured.

Beside him, Lan Yuhuang overheard Ling Feng and said, "JiuMuu City was a mysterious island that vanished during the Inner Sea's epic battle over five hundred years ago. Back then, Deserted City was just an ordinary presence among the Inner Sea's Top Ten forces. It wasn't until JiuMuu City's disappearance that Deserted City gradually rose to prominence."
