In addition, the Daoist-robed expert had left a mark on Li Yun’s body. Relying on this mark, Li Yun could directly join the Profound Origin Immortal Sect in the Central Mainland.

Just as Southern Martial Domain was only an insignificant small prefecture within the vast Azure Void Region and could even be considered near the bottom, the Azure Void Region itself was only an ordinary region within the entire Eastern Martial Domain.

Within this vast world, the Central Mainland was the true center of the Central Region. It was the gathering place of countless experts and powerful forces.

There, Heavenly Core Realm experts were only the most common existence. Spirit Manifestation Realm experts were numerous, and there were even existences at the Dao Resonance level.

Compared to the Azure Void Region and the Eastern Martial Domain as a whole, the strength of the Central Mainland was far, far greater. The gap between them was even larger than the gap between Southern Martial Domain and the Azure Void Region.

The Profound Origin Immortal Sect was a hegemon-level force even within the expert-filled Central Mainland.

Its status in the Central Mainland, and even in the entire Central Region, was comparable to the status of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the Azure Void Region. It was an absolute overlord-level power.

As for the Daoist-robed expert, he had been a disciple of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect during his lifetime. Moreover, his status within the sect had not been low, since he had mastered the sect’s ultimate technique, the Nine Syllable Mantra.

Even within the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, the Nine Syllable Mantra was an extraordinary technique that only a tiny number of elite disciples could learn. Ordinary disciples did not even have the qualifications to come into contact with it.

In fact, it was not only the Daoist-robed expert. The Buddhist cultivator expert and the scholar expert also came from major powers in the Central Mainland. The three of them had once been close friends who braved dangerous places together, experienced life and death together, and shared a bond that could be called a true life-and-death friendship.

Unfortunately, during an exploration of a secret realm, they suffered a fatal betrayal. They struggled several times, but in the end, all their efforts were in vain.

Ultimately, these three experts wandered to the Azure Void Region and created the Lost Ancient City before their deaths, leaving behind their legacies and imprints within the city.

Those destined ones who could obtain their legacies or imprints would be able to join their respective sects in the future. This could be considered the final deed they performed for the sects they had once belonged to.

After learning all this, Li Yun could not help sighing with emotion.

The path of a cultivator was dangerous at every step. Whether it was an ordinary Acquired Realm or Xiantian Realm cultivator, or a powerful Spirit Manifestation Realm expert, all of them faced the danger of falling.

Even those as strong as these three experts, who had been considered top-tier even within the Spirit Manifestation Realm, ultimately could not escape death. In the end, they died in a foreign land.

The path of cultivation was filled with killing intent and danger at every turn. One could never lower their guard at any time.

Buzz!

At that moment, countless beams of light suddenly descended from the void above, enveloping all the cultivators, including Li Yun.

In the next instant, the many cultivators were actually teleported out of the Lost Ancient City and appeared directly within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"We are out just like that?"

"This time, the Lost Ancient City actually ended early?"

Suddenly appearing in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains took many cultivators by surprise. However, they soon calmed down one after another.

The return of the Ironblood Sect left many people with complicated emotions. Compared to that, leaving the Lost Ancient City early was no longer a major matter.

On the other hand, the cultivators who had not managed to enter the Lost Ancient City were all filled with confusion and dissatisfaction. However, when they learned what had happened inside the Lost Treasury, their expressions also became solemn.

The Ironblood Sect had actually emerged into the world again.

This notorious power had hidden itself for many years, and as soon as it reappeared, it revealed terrifying ambition. Without a doubt, the Azure Void Region would likely know no peace from now on.

Compared to this, the matters of the Lost Ancient City truly did not count for much.

For a time, many cultivators left with solemn expressions to report this important news to their friends, families, and the powers behind them.

Li Yun’s gaze swept through the crowd, but in the end, he did not find Yue Cangshan’s figure.

Clearly, Yue Cangshan had fallen within the Lost Ancient City. Perhaps he had died at the hands of a demonic beast, or perhaps he had been killed by another cultivator. No matter what had happened, he had failed to walk out of the Lost Ancient City.

Regarding this, Li Yun could not help sighing in his heart.

Although he had not interacted much with Yue Cangshan, the two of them could still be considered to have some friendship, and they had seen eye to eye. Even the Seven Slaughter Fist had been taught to him by Yue Cangshan.

Unfortunately, that straightforward and bold man had died inside the Lost Ancient City.

"Li Yun, the return of the Ironblood Sect is a matter of great importance. I must return to the sect as soon as possible and report this to the upper levels."

Mu Cangyang spoke in a deep voice. "Between us, we can be considered friends made through battle. I will leave my word here. If you ever need anything in the future, send word to me, and I will come immediately."

Wine Monk also smiled and said, "Li Yun, if there is a chance in the future, let us drink to our hearts’ content again. When that time comes, you had better prepare some good wine."

"That is easy enough."

Li Yun laughed and agreed at once.
