After entering, the old Dao first pointed out a path to Lu Ling, letting her settle down on her own, and then he continued to lead me further inside.

The cavern was initially spacious, but it became narrower and more cramped as we went deeper.

With the faint light from the old Dao's candle, I could barely see the scattered passages within the cavern. It seemed that the extended areas had different functions.

"After you stay here for a long time, even without the need for a visible flame, you'll be able to come and go freely within this cavern."

Freely come and go, huh?

I actually don't want to come, I just want to go.

If I had the choice, I wouldn't even want to see this eerie place.

After about half an hour, we arrived at a deep pool.

Calling it a deep pool is not quite appropriate because all I could see was churning, viscous black mist.

Yes, it looked like a tangible mist that constantly changed its form...

It appeared even darker in the midst of darkness.

Right at the edge of this dense fog stood a person dressed in white, exuding an immortal aura.

"You have arrived," he said.

He turned his head, and I saw hundreds and thousands of dark red eyes.
