503: Descend into the world of living beings!

This person was none other than Nether Left.

"I understand."

Her voice rang out, clear and melodious, yet undeniable:

"You did well. As for the remaining three… I will handle them personally. You may withdraw."

Nether Left's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated greatly. After a battle of thoughts, he still struggled to ask his question:

"Nether... Nether Immortal, my brother... I don't know..."

Nether Immortal's gaze was cold, falling upon Nether Left, scanning him indifferently.

This gaze, though not intentionally exerting pressure, made Nether Left feel his Soul tremble slightly under that invisible scrutiny.

"This Supreme does not need you to remind me of what I once promised. Once I successfully retrieve the Soul Summoning Banner, I will fulfill my promise and reunite your brothers," Nether Immortal said indifferently.

"Thank you, Nether Immortal! Thank you, Supreme! Your subordinate withdraws!"

Upon hearing Nether Immortal's words, Nether Left was immediately overjoyed, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and awe. He kowtowed in worship, then, without the slightest hesitation, his body swiftly retreated, quickly disappearing from the hall.

The empty hall was once again left with only Nether Immortal.

She still leaned against the throne, but the lazy majesty from before instantly dissipated, replaced by a burning desire!

Her slender, jade-like fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne. In the depths of her Colored Glaze-like eyes, there was long-suppressed ambition and excitement.

"Lu Hao..."

Nether Immortal's red lips parted slightly, silently uttering the name:

"Finally... I've found you!"

"The Soul Summoning Banner, a Supreme sacred object rumored to command billions of Souls in the Netherworld. If she could obtain it, she might even be able to unify the vast territory of the first layer of the Netherworld!"

With this thought, Nether Immortal no longer hesitated. She sat upright, forming incredibly complex hand seals in front of her.

The completion of each hand seal caused the dormant Nether Qi within the hall to let out a silent roar, and the space began to violently twist and fold.

A terrifying pressure began to emanate from Nether Immortal's body. Her dark robes fluttered without wind, rustling, and her long hair danced wildly in the invisible force.

Before her, the space of the Netherworld was torn open like fragile paper, but clearly, Nether Immortal's goal was not simply to tear open a spatial rift; she wanted to directly pinpoint the location of the Living Realm through the Void Realm.

After a long while, a massive Chaos-colored rift appeared out of thin air. In the depths of the rift were violent spatial turbulences and a lifeless Void Realm, which ordinary Cultivators would never dare to step into.

However, Nether Immortal merely glanced at it indifferently, then slowly rose. With her skirt fluttering, she stepped in!

Her figure, along with the spatial rift, instantly vanished from the hall.

Within the Feng Ling Ancient Realm, above the Nine Heavens, the strong winds were like knives.

This was a height beyond the reach of ordinary Cultivators. Clouds rolled beneath their feet like a white ocean, and the sky displayed a deep, pure azure, appearing incredibly beautiful, like a painting.

Suddenly, within this beautiful painting, a Void Realm rift appeared, and then a graceful figure in dark robes emerged from it, adding a touch of Life Qi to the painting.

This person was none other than Nether Immortal, who had crossed Realms!

She pondered for a moment, looking around as if to determine her direction. Then, Nether Immortal's eyes lit up, and her figure flashed, directly transforming into a blurry black stream of light, heading towards the Southern Continent of the Feng Ling Ancient Realm with incredible speed.

In the depths of her Colored Glaze-like eyes, an undisguised longing and excitement burned. The thought of soon obtaining the legendary Soul Summoning Banner made her heart swell uncontrollably, and the dormant Nether Immortal power within her body faintly boiled.

The Southern Continent is one of the five major continents of the Feng Ling Ancient Realm. The climate here is mild, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the Spiritual Qi is much denser than that of the Eastern Domain.

Following the location information left by Nether Left, Nether Immortal almost instantly locked onto a Spiritual Mountain shrouded in mist and imbued with rich Spiritual Qi.

At the peak of the mountain, the ancient and grand Immortal Cave entrance was wide open. A middle-aged Cultivator in a green Daoist robe with a gaunt face sat cross-legged on a bluestone beside the Immortal Cave. His aura was perfectly harmonious, subtly merging with the surrounding mountains, rivers, and vegetation.

His Realm had already reached the Supreme Realm, and he was even a Five-fold Supreme. Such a Cultivator was already extremely terrifying in the Lower Realm.

This person was the first target named "Lu Hao" in Nether Left's intelligence.

Nether Immortal's figure appeared silently above the Immortal Cave, without causing the slightest disturbance. The Cultivator named Lu Hao below did not detect her at all.

She looked down from above, her Colored Glaze-like eyes coldly observing the green-robed Cultivator below.

Without words, without testing, a vast and hidden Divine Thought, like an invisible tide, instantly enveloped the entire Spiritual Mountain, meticulously sweeping over every inch of the green-robed Cultivator's body, every wisp of his Qi, and even the fluctuations deep within his Soul.

She was searching, searching for a trace of Karma connection with herself.

Even if this Karma connection was incredibly faint, as long as it existed, it would absolutely not escape her perception.

At this moment, the green-robed Cultivator seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an extremely wary expression. Who could possibly investigate him without disturbing the Formation he had set up? When did such a terrifying powerhouse appear in the Feng Ling Ancient Realm?

The green-robed Cultivator looked towards the seemingly empty space around him, and his powerful Realm instantly erupted, attempting to counter the invisible invasion.

However, in the face of Nether Immortal's Divine Thought, his resistance was so feeble. Almost in the next instant, his Realm was suppressed, rendering him unable to move, and his eyes were filled only with extreme shock and fear.

He felt the scythe of death constantly approaching him, as if he would perish in the next moment.

Time passed bit by bit.

Nether Immortal's Divine Thought swept over all traces of the green-robed Cultivator again and again. However, she could not find that crucial trace of Karma Qi belonging to the Netherworld.

None! Not a single trace!

This Cultivator named Lu Hao, his life trajectory and Soul imprint, had no intersection with the Netherworld, with the Soul Summoning Banner, or with her, Nether Immortal!

This meant that this person could not be the Lu Hao she was looking for.

A hint of disappointment appeared in Nether Immortal's eyes. She then withdrew her Divine Thought, and the space rippled like water around her. She stepped into it, instantly traveling thousands of miles away, as if she had never been there.

Not finding the true Lu Hao, she was unwilling to expose her existence. After all, a Nether Immortal coming to the Living Realm already violated the agreement between the two Realms, and the three thousand Ancient Realms of the Living Realm were not lacking in True Immortal powerhouses.
