The mystical tortoise harbored resentment, ultimately withering away in melancholy. Its massive body and vast mana, tainted by its grudge, slowly transformed into a pervading miasma that enveloped a large portion of the Northern Continent, persisting through the years.

Since then, the already barren Northern Continent had become a treacherous land, also the prime choice for exiling the tribes of witches and demons.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, people discovered that the poisonous miasma of the Northern Continent had given rise to numerous venomous insects and toxic plants, thereby becoming a breeding ground for many rare and exotic flowers and fruits.

To this day, although the Northern Continent still remains inhospitable for ordinary beings, it is no longer barren and has even been said to show signs of an alternative revival!

Though the mystical tortoise has fallen, its legacy continues to benefit all living beings.

…

"Finally arrived."

As Yu Yuan drew closer to the Northern Continent, the grey-black miasma appeared increasingly thick and heavy.

From afar, it looked akin to a boundless mountain pressing down upon the sea's surface.

Here, common Immortal Gods and cultivators would have to swallow Anti-miasma Pills, affix Evil Avoiding Talismans, and if possible, don a miasma-resistant vestment robe…

The Chasing Sun Chariot comes with a barrier, naturally unnecessary for such precautions.

However, Yu Yuan casually tore a slit in the barrier, allowing the miasmic poison fog to seep into the carriage, then he released the innate defenses of his body and Primordial Spirit.

In the next instant, the transparent information panel flickered.

[Continuous erosion by poison gas: Qi-Blood +1024, Mana +2230, Sight +23, Hearing +22, Soul Power +211, Spirit +421…]

[Continuous erosion by poison gas: Qi-Blood +996, Mana +2195, Muscle and Bone +19, Endurance +66, Essence Qi +111…]

[Continuous erosion by poison gas: Qi-Blood +985, Mana +2048, Constitution +73, Strength +22, Speed +31, Root Bone +56…]

…

"Comfortable!"

Feeling his mana rapidly increasing, Yu Yuan was certain that he had come to the right place!

The venomous miasma should have been corroding his flesh and mana, destroying his vision, eyesight, Divine Soul, Qi-Blood, and many other functions of his Mortal Spirit and body, but with the support of Reverse Action, it instead became a nourishing substance!

Who says the Northern Continent is a place of perils?

This is far better than the Penglai Holy Realm!

Right, in his eyes, this place is now the number one blessed land of the Primordial era!

It's just a pity that his body has grown too powerful. As the miasma continues its relentless erosion, his body has quickly adapted to its toxicity.

The miasma's threat to his body is minuscule, and its damage to his Primordial Spirit is gradually diminishing.

However, as the Chasing Sun Chariot continued to venture deeper into the Northern Continent, the power of the miasmic poisons seemed to be strengthening progressively.

This discovery was rather satisfying to Yu Yuan.

…

Most of the Northern Continent is shrouded in poison mist, year-round without sunlight, with vegetation that mostly thrives in darkness and dampness.

The most common is a type of black shrub with branches but no leaves, resembling charred wood, and with twisted branches growing upwards, looking somewhat eerie.

Several hours later, Yu Yuan arrived at Cui Ping Mountain.

He stored the Chasing Sun Chariot and "Ao Yi" into his Ruyi Qiankun Bag, descended from the clouds, and landed on the ground.

The miasma below was even denser, with many venomous insects and ferocious beasts roaming within it.

Sensing Yu Yuan's arrival, these natives who moved freely through the miasma cast cold glances towards him, as if assessing the strength of this intruder.

Yu Yuan was unconcerned.

On the contrary, he was rather looking forward to encountering some strong poison beasts which could be added to his "zoo."

Besides, he was interested in those highly toxic Spirit Grasses and precious fruits.

However, his true objective was still the Chaos Bell Fragments.

As he released his Divine Thought to sweep the surroundings, he found no trace of those Demon Gods.

Fortunately, along the way, he saw plenty of scenes of landslides and river diversions, stark reminders of fierce battles.

Undoubtedly, these were the marks of magical combat.

There had been many fierce battles here, yet in the end, these Demon Gods had all departed.

Yu Yuan searched for a while, and the forest ahead became even darker.

A smell of decay and ruination spread through the air, swarms of venomous insects buzzed noisily, and predators quietly appeared, struggling to contain their impatience as they tried to pounce several times, but ultimately held back.

Yu Yuan looked back irritably, only to see a brightly colored giant flower preparing to swallow him whole.

Upon seeing him turn around, the ginormous flower stiffened, then abruptly recoiled.

"You're already here, so no running away!"

Yu Yuan reached out and grabbed the stem of the giant flower, then gently tugged, and a mountain-like huge shadow emerged from the thick miasmic poison fog.

This was a Flower Demon that had lived for untold years but had yet to undergo Transformation.

It attempted to resist, but with just one glance from Yu Yuan, it trembled as if struck by thunder and collapsed.

Yu Yuan planned to use it as a medium to perform the Time Retrospection Technique with the Chaos Bell, to see what had transpired at Cui Ping Mountain.

"Be careful! That flower is highly poisonous!"

Just as he was about to summon the Chaos Bell Fragments, an urgent voice sounded.

Yu Yuan followed the voice, seeing a slender woman standing amidst the contorted black woods, staring at him with bright, astonished eyes.

"This place is very dangerous, how did a mere Profound Immortal like you end up here?"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.

This woman had managed to evade his Divine Thought and appear silently within a hundred steps of him.
