That immortal herb, he wouldn't be interested in it at all, even if it were placed right in front of him, he might not reach out for it.

Yet there are always some courting death.

People nowadays have forgotten far too many things.

A year later, Tao Jiajie's strength recovered to the Eighth Tier, and just as he was about to step into the Ninth Tier, he finally laid down the books and walked out of the Tao Clan.

He traveled westward, arriving at the Wilderness, standing quietly under Dadui's nine-layered eighteen-column archway, looking at the traces on the archway.

Dadui has returned, and now there is no one who can stop him.

Even he couldn't stop him.

He traveled south, reaching the Southern Sea, but just as he took his first step, he withdrew his foot.

He slightly furrowed his brows, gazed at the vast Southern Sea, then glanced at the scattered white clouds in the sky.

Turning around, he walked north.

He hadn't visited for a long time, and no matter how much he knew, it's never better than coming in person.

The Southern Sea is treacherous, just stepping into it feels as though entering someone else's realm.

And yet he couldn't detect at all whose realm or what realm it was.

Traveling north once more, he passed by the Silver Lake Forbidden Land, took a distant glance, and bypassed it.

Continuing north, as he approached Jinlan Mountain, he stopped a hundred miles away.

Again, a sense of crisis sensing arose, going further might lead to his death.

He detoured hundreds of miles from the east, circumventing the west side of Jinlan Mountain, and looking towards Jinlan Mountain from the east.

The giant Devil heads like mountains burned with flames, and he could still see Seven Yin King's arm standing there precariously.

Seven Yin King is also a worthless piece.

The aura of the hungry ghost is excessively vast, so vast that he couldn't sense the situation within Jinlan Mountain clearly.

He could only vaguely feel as if there indeed was an ancient existence asleep within Jinlan Mountain, and it seemed dead, having transformed into the Jade Tomb.

Indeed, it could not awaken for a very long time.

Continuing to the north, he paused again, turning to head east.

Again he sensed a crisis.

This is the reason he needed to come personally; intelligence would never reveal such things.

With his current strength, coming to Jinlan Mountain, there are at least two, if not three, individuals who could repeatedly crush him against the ground.

Similar to what he sensed before, many strong figures, are not mentioned in the Tao Clan's intelligence.

Nor are mentioned in the White Water Egg's intelligence.

After personally experiencing it, he was convinced that the person he was searching for must be related to Jinlan Mountain.

After obtaining what he wanted, he came outside Langya Institute.

Just took a glance from a distance, then turned away, returning to the White Water Egg station.

He took out four stocks of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at once, immediately restoring himself to exert Ninth Tier strength.

He came in front of the Jade Scroll, quietly waiting.

Last time he encountered that person was due to the start of the Refining God Dao being unearthed.

So, he would give him another chance. Once he appeared, he would personally descend this time and find out who it was.

At all costs, he must strangle this person in the cradle, never allowing them to grow, never allowing them to open the Tenth Tier path.

Someone who embodies the three Daos; if this person grows, they will be a major enemy.

The White Water Egg stood in front of the Jade Scroll, the surrounding scene instantly transformed into a sacrificial altar, he extended his hand into the painting.

He took out a golden light orb, within which the words Wen Jun continued to glitter.

The light orb in his hand intermittently released threads that dissipated.

This signified that someone had the power to take these things away.

Wen Jun's sacrificial text had emerged, sooner or later someone would reclaim the name of Wen Jun, so why not use it as bait.

He separated a thread from the light orb and threw it, disappearing.

He stood there, quietly cultivating, quietly waiting for the day the big fish would be hooked.

He believed that the person he sought would not resist looking at the sacrificial text he dared not read.

He also believed that the person indeed knew Wen Jun's name.

And he believed that this person wouldn't just ignore it.

There are only a few qualified to take such bait, and he would identify them one by one.

Then, find that person.

Kill his body, destroy his Dao, erase his name.

...

Yu Ziqing was still in seclusion, while constantly updating the latest news, listening to the broadcast within the Jade Tablet.

Lately, it's all gossip.

The Emperor Kuihou is about to advance, in a way that can't be suppressed.

And the news about the immortal herb is rampant again.

Because eight thousand years ago, a Tao Clan strongman who pursued the Undying Mandala returned after being lost for many years.

This fellow, who had no idea what incredible luck he had, surprisingly still hadn't exhausted his lifespan.

Then there were more and more discoveries about Shi.

Someone in a new Grotto Heaven found stone wall records, and others in the Abyss found different clues.

Yu Ziqing routinely finished listening to the gossip, continuing to research the Soul Record, and while studying Dayan Preface, suddenly a thread of unrest grew in his heart.

The Yin God also opened its eyes, the sage voice within the Earth Deity Origin suddenly amplified.

He closed his eyes, letting instincts capture that faint unrest.

Then it turned into two words, Wen Jun.

Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, slightly furrowed his brows.

What does it mean?

The name Wen Jun automatically surfaced, had someone found something crucial centered around Wen Jun?

Yu Ziqing waited for days without hearing any news.

After waiting for several more days, new Ten passed by Almsgiving Town, bringing a message.

"Just got the news, the search for the shell task is paused, full effort to find the target task."

"What do you mean? Has that being descended?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean by you don't know?"

"All it means is No.1 has sensed intelligence leakage, he doesn't believe only the last person leaked the intelligence."

"Then be careful, if things get tough, don't go back."

"Understood, there's another matter, another person wants to reclaim their true name and face."

"Ensure safety, just tell me his whereabouts, don't directly get involved."

"Alright."

New Ten came hurriedly and departed in haste.

Acting even more cautious than before, this time he didn't even bring a death row prisoner.

Days later, Cece sent in the news, that the Deceitful Ghost received during a trade a piece of Black Stone Tablet, extremely hard and indestructible, containing ancient scripts, hopefully useful to Yu Ziqing.

When Yu Ziqing received the stone tablet, just a glance confirmed that it was excavated from an unknown elder's grotto.

Seeing the first character, he knew immediately it was related to Wen Jun.

Just like when he saw Shi-related contents on the stone walls initially.
