He steadied himself and looked around, discovering that this was a vast underground cave, covering at least over twenty li.

The walls of the cave emitted a faint white light, surprisingly made entirely of large, milky white boulders, with a texture smooth and delicate, akin to jade stone.

And in the deepest part of the cave, a massive, pure white unknown structure jutted out from the mountain body, revealing a corner.

But even this small portion revealed already took up most of the cave space, imagining the true size of this structure was truly gigantic!

At this moment, noises suddenly came from below a huge sloping surface ahead.

Zhao Sheng retracted his gaze and walked quickly down the slope.

He walked at a brisk pace, yet silhouettes occasionally flashed past him, eagerly jumping to the bottom of the slope, blending into the crowd.

A few breaths later, Zhao Sheng arrived at the crowd's periphery and joined up with Sha Jiutong, the Black Monk, and the other four who had arrived earlier.

"...Everyone can freely choose a crack to enter. After entering, any treasures found along the way belong to you. If you encounter a dead end that cannot be passed, you can return at your own discretion..."

At this time, Fengfengzi floated above the crowd, explaining to them.

"Additionally, I remind everyone that the inner layer of the Immortal Palace is full of Immortal Law prohibitions described as one step ten deaths, extremely dangerous. If anyone enters the inner layer of the Immortal Palace, please promptly crush this pill. My two junior brothers and I will rush over at the fastest speed. Otherwise, if risked and perished then, don't blame me for not warning in advance."

As he spoke, Fengfengzi waved his large sleeves, scattering dragon-eye-sized vermilion pills.

The vermilion pills automatically flew towards everyone, and then were caught and put into their chests.

Zhao Sheng glanced over the front, seeing the vast and smooth white giant wall, shockingly cracked with hundreds of large and small cracks.

Among them, the widest part of the largest crack was nearly a hundred zhang. The smallest cracks were less than a palm wide, only a few special people could pass through.

Through the largest crack, Zhao Sheng saw seven or eight corridors exposed outside.

Each corridor was three zhang wide and four zhang high, also built from white stones inside, leading further into the depths.

Looking again into the other cracks, indeed more corridors could be seen.

After Fengfengzi finished his explanation, he walked to a clearing and sat cross-legged. The other two Taoists did the same, only their positions were behind Fengfengzi.

Some impatient ones hurriedly selected a corridor and rushed in first.

But most people were not in a hurry to enter, instead carefully observing the situation outside.

Sha Jiutong called Zhao Sheng and the others to one side, asking deeply: "Fellow Taoists, now the situation has changed. Do we choose to split up alone, or do we still enter one corridor together as agreed?"

"Together! If we encounter danger, we can look out for each other." Gong Sanzhang was the first to speak.

"I think so too." Zhao Sheng immediately expressed agreement.

The Immortal Palace relics are full of unknowns, and it's unwise to venture in alone.

"Infinite Immortals and Buddhas! I second that." The Black Monk slightly joined his palms, chanting.

At this moment, only Bo Hua Wanderer among the five remained silent.

Sha Jiutong looked at him, asking: "Bohua, what about you?"

Bo Hua Wanderer hesitated, suddenly as if realizing something, quickly nodded: "I have no objection!"

"Good, since that's the case, let's choose a corridor and go in!"

Sha Jiutong had just finished speaking, when Zhao Sheng suddenly said: "Wait, I have a suggestion."

"Go ahead, Bai Mei."

"Instead of choosing a corridor that no one has entered, why don't we... choose a corridor that someone has already entered. After all, the Immortal Palace relics have been out for seven or eight years, but no one has entered the inner layer yet. The dangers inside must be immense, so we should be cautious and prudent." Zhao Sheng explained the rationale to the four in a low voice.

"Alright, I second!"

"What Bai Mei said makes sense!"

"Indeed, with someone paving the way ahead, it will certainly reduce at least half the risk."

Sha Jiutong and the others quickly nodded in agreement, and five people soon reached a consensus.

Thus!

The five of them lingered outside the Immortal Palace for a while, until most people had entered the corridors, they then chose a corridor where three people had entered before, and filed in.

In fact, there were quite a few "smart people" like them, even the three Fengfengzi did not intervene to stop such actions.

Once everyone had entered, Fengfengzi suddenly opened his eyes and chuckled lightly: "Junior brothers, do you think anyone will come out alive this time?"

"Difficult, too difficult! The space-time is endless, the corridors are also limitless! If they cannot take that step, how could these mortals see the end of the road!"

"Cloud Boat Junior Brother, don't speak too soon. After all, anyone who can reach the Burial Immortal Ruins has one or two special qualifications related to the space-time Tao, more or less. Perhaps among these people, there are one or two with heaven-defying Qi Fortune, who smoothly traverse the Endless Corridor, entering the True Immortal Mansion."

"Not much time is left for us! Although Gray Mountain is the lowest-level space-time node, blocking the news here for ten years is already the limit. If dragged on further, it will surely attract the Immortal Ruins Wanderers."

As Fengfengzi spoke, he took out a crystal-clear Jade Plate from his chest, observing it before his eyes.

The Jade Plate seemed like a three-dimensional light screen, projecting an extremely complex three-dimensional maze, hundreds of red dots moving within the maze, outlining one red line after another.

At this moment, at the innermost part of the 3D maze, there was a small blank area, surrounded by dense lines, tangled like a ball of string, almost impossible to see the beginning or end.

...

Tap, tap, tap!

Zhao Sheng and the other four quickly marched along the corridor, their speed so fast that they almost left afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, the five of them darted dozens of zhang forward. Their foot strength far surpassed the Innate Grandmaster.

Zhao Sheng, while pursuing, looked around on both sides, seeing that the six walls of the corridor were all made of white jade stone, seamlessly natural, without any gaps visible.

The corridor was completely empty, spotlessly clean, not even a trace of dust could be seen.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng was quite surprised.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The five of them ran an entire distance of over two thousand li, yet the surrounding corridors were still identical to before, and they hadn't seen a single person.

Clatter!

An ear-piercing sound came from behind.

Zhao Sheng quickly turned his head and saw Gong Sanzhang holding a small knife, scraping hard against the corridor wall.

However, the corridor wall remained smooth as before, without any scratches visible.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng had a flash of thought, immediately exerting energy to force out a drop of Blood Pearl, flicking it to the ground.

With a snap, the blood flower splattered, leaving a small bloodstain on the ground.

Inspired by this, Sha Jiutong and the others also used various methods to leave unique imprints within the corridor.

Meanwhile, the group did not stop their steps, quickly rushing forward.

Time unknowingly slipped away!

"Damn it! I'm not running anymore!"

At a certain moment, Bo Hua Wanderer suddenly burst with a curse and stopped abruptly.

Zhao Sheng and the other four, seeing this situation, also promptly halted.

Sha Jiutong gasped slightly and said: "Guys, you all noticed something was off too!"

Gong Sanzhang fell silent and sat down cross-legged, beginning to meditate and regulate his breath.

"Infinite Immortals and Buddhas! I also felt something amiss!" Bo Hua Wanderer panted, chuckling coldly.

"Exactly, I'm not the only one!"

Zhao Sheng wasn't greatly affected; after all, his body was not only immensely strong but also had an abnormal level of recovery power. He consumed energy quickly, but his recovery was extraordinary.

"It's not surprising that this place is part of the Immortal Palace relics, with some special prohibitions. I'm just surprised we didn't see any markings left by the people ahead."

Bo Hua Wanderer taunted, gasping: "Maybe they forgot about it! Or maybe they made markings, and you just couldn't see them."

Sha Jiutong and the others all reported not seeing any marks.

Zhao Sheng nodded thoughtfully, suddenly walking over to the others.

Sha Jiutong slightly breathless, said: "Alright folks, let's rest here for a moment and then continue our journey."

Gong Sanzhang quietly sat cross-legged and started to meditate and adjust his breath.

Bo Hua Wanderer sneered and gasped: "Heh, heh, it seems I'm not the only one, you all noticed something off too!"

All around, indicating that there was something not quite right.

After a short rest, everyone resumed their journey forward again at full speed.
