Checking in for 100,000 Years

The Big Black Cat suddenly jolted awake, snapping out of his self-satisfied state.

"Uncle Ma, rest assured, if I only get one Eternal Life Immortal Grass, I'll definitely give it to you first!"

The Big Black Cat said sheepishly, grinning.

"Heh heh!" The Big Black Horse nodded in satisfaction.

Helplessly watching this pair of jokers, Ye Yun could only shake his head.

Although Ye Yun planned to house a strand of his Primordial Spirit within the Big Black Cat's mind, he didn't plan to constantly help the Big Black Cat deal with unknown risks.

Ye Yun thought for a moment and decided to give the Big Black Cat a life-saving treasure. He couldn't let him risk his life, after all.

Ye Yun reached into his inventory and pulled out a pair of red boots.

"This is for you. See if it fits..."

Ye Yun threw the pair of red boots to the Big Black Cat.

These were Teleportation Boots, of Emperor Level quality.

Once infused with Mana, they provided unbelievable speed for escaping.

The red leather on the Teleportation Boots was said to be crafted from the skin of an extremely powerful Divine Beast in a certain universe, known for its gifted Spatial Divinities.

"Thank you for the gift, Master!"

The Big Black Cat was overjoyed, quickly standing up and transforming into a young man in a black robe.

He tried on the two red boots, and they fit perfectly!

"Master, what kind of treasure is this?"

The Big Black Cat asked joyfully.

"These are the Teleportation Boots, Emperor Level quality. Once infused with Mana, they provide unimaginable speed..."

Ye Yun said with a smile.

"Wow, it's actually an Emperor artifact!"

The Big Black Cat widened his eyes, suddenly squatting down and gingerly touching the boots on his feet.

After infusing a bit of Mana and feeling the power, a look of astonishment crossed his face.

This was an Emperor artifact for divine speed! In the entire Cangnan Continent, he had never heard of anyone possessing such a treasure.

The Big Black Cat was over the moon.

He hadn't expected to receive such a powerful treasure from the Master even before entering the Nine Soul Underground Palace. The gains from this trip were enormous.

"There are a few days until the Nine Soul Underground Palace opens; refine it well in that time..."

Ye Yun instructed, then returned to the carriage.

The Big Black Horse watched the pair of red Teleportation Boots on the Big Black Cat's feet, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

"Little Cat, take them off and let your Uncle Ma wear them for a couple of days?"

The Big Black Horse flashed his teeth in a grin.

The Big Black Cat immediately jumped away and crouched down defensively like a frightened rabbit, guarding the Teleportation Boots. Sheepishly, he said, "Uncle Ma, these are my life-saving treasures!"

"Look at you, can't even lend them to me for a few days? I won't keep them, you know."

The Big Black Horse grumbled annoyedly.

"This is an Emperor artifact; I need to refine it properly so it will perform at its full strength at the critical moment! Uncle Ma, I'll take my leave. You keep cultivating; I won't bother you anymore."

The Big Black Cat laughed and immediately flew off.

"Such an ungrateful fellow. Just you wait and see how your Uncle Ma deals with you when you return."

The Big Black Horse grumbled and then started his Cultivation.

Although he was a bit jealous, he knew well enough not to mess around with the Master's orders, so he was just joking with the Big Black Cat.

Watching this pair of jokers quarrel again, Ye Yun just laughed without saying a word.

The Big Black Horse still knew his boundaries, and Ye Yun had full confidence in him.

The Big Black Cat dashed all the way to the vicinity of the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

There were already some Cultivators from the Demon Clan gathered there.

Most of the Cultivators from the Demon Clan were in the Divine Bridge Realm, with a very small number in the Nirvana Realm and Destiny Realm.

As for Great Demons in the Life and Death Realm, the Big Black Cat didn't see a single one.

The higher the cultivation base, the more one cherishes their life! The Nine Soul Underground Palace has powerful prohibitions; it's easy to perish there. Hence, sending younger generations to seek the Eternal Life Immortal Grass is a more prudent approach...

The Big Black Cat gave a smirk, quickly finding a less crowded spot to sit down.

He was currently at the Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer, and among the Demon Clan present, he was considered a top-notch great demon.

So no one dared to provoke him.

The Big Black Cat was also relieved to find that his Teleportation Boots, given to him by the Master, seemed to have been treated in some way, not leaking any Super Divine Dragon Breath.

This way, he could comfortably refine them here.

「A few Time Units passed.」

"A big shot has arrived!"

"I didn't expect the Dragon Lord of the Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge to come in person!"

"He didn't bring any followers. Could it be he wants to enter the Nine Soul Underground Palace himself?"

The surrounding Demon Clan Cultivators were in an uproar.

Everyone's eyes were blazing as they watched a man in a yellow dragon robe flying from a distance.

The man had a pair of golden dragon horns on his head, a robust figure, a cold gaze, and radiated the Super Divine Dragon Breath of the Destiny Realm.

Among the present Demon Clan Cultivators, quite a few were from the Heavenly Star Dynasty, so they naturally recognized this Dragon Lord, a great demon from the Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge.

The Dragon Lord descended from the sky, and the smaller demons nearby quickly made way for him.

With hands behind his back, standing indifferently like a crane amongst chickens, the Dragon Lord gazed at the mountain gate of the Nine Soul Underground Palace in the distance.

No one dared to speak.

There weren't many Cultivators in the Destiny Realm venturing into the Nine Soul Underground Palace this time. After all, those who cultivated to the Destiny Realm cherished their lives dearly.

Although there was Eternal Life Immortal Grass in the Nine Soul Underground Palace, it was fraught with danger; the risks would outweigh the benefits in case of death.

However, some Cultivators of the Destiny Realm didn't care, like this Dragon Lord, for instance.

As time passed, more of the Demon Clan gathered outside the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

The number of Demon Clan Cultivators in the Divine Bridge Realm was countless. Those in the Nirvana Realm were also extremely numerous. Even the number of Destiny Realm demons reached hundreds.

But no Life and Death Realm demons appeared.

As for Cultivators from the Eternity Realm, none appeared at all.

Eternity Realm great demons would not be willing to face the unknown risks in the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

The Big Black Cat sat on the ground, like an old monk meditating, quietly refining his Teleportation Boots.

Although he noticed the arrival of the Dragon Lord, he didn't even open his eyes.

This Dragon Lord was not his enemy, and the two he did hold a grudge against, the revered Golden Eye and Silver Eye, were already dead.

「Seven days later.」

The Big Black Cat had refined more than half of the Teleportation Boots.

He heard a loud RUMBLE echo in his ears.

Then, someone shouted, "The Nine Soul Underground Palace has opened!"

The Big Black Cat opened his eyes.

He saw countless figures frantically rushing into the transparent, water-wave-like ripples within the mountain gate.

The Big Black Cat stood up, walking leisurely forward.

Finding the Eternal Life Immortal Grass is a matter of luck. Inside the Nine Soul Underground Palace, dangers lurk everywhere. Entering early is akin to an early death. With his Teleportation Boots, even if he is the last one to enter, he could easily outrun everyone else.

"Big brother, can I accompany you?"

The Big Black Cat had just taken a few steps when he heard a charming voice behind him.

He turned around, only to find a breathtaking beauty in a red dress.

She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen, with alluring eyes and an enchantingly smouldering beauty.

"Are you talking to me?"

The Big Black Cat was taken aback. In all these years, no one had ever called him Big Brother, especially not an attractive woman.
