[In the core area, a large amount of dense Spiritual Energy rushed towards his face, and countless Spiritual Medicines grew within the Spirit Fields.]


    [However, with your current level of alchemy, you were still unable to refine these medicines.]


    [So, you bypassed those Spirit Fields and removed all the Spirit Stones from the Spirit Gathering Array.]


    [You didn''t disturb True Person Wan Mu in the bronze sarcophagus; before leaving, you looked back longingly at the Spirit Vein Dragon.]


    [After leaving the ancient tomb, you took out Damned Zong''s diary and found the location of Five Elements Mountain.]


    [Before the Formation of the Five Elements Mountain ruins, your brow felt a slight pain.]


    [This indicated that if you were to step into the ruins of Five Elements Mountain, you would be in mortal danger.]


    [Out of caution, you decided to temporarily put aside the exploration of the Five Elements Mountain ruins and continued to collect more Spring Dew Pure Water.]


    [In the twentieth year, you returned to the real world and continued to amass Spring Dew Pure Water.]


    [That year, you accumulated a total of one hundred ninety drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]


    [Afterward, you collected Spring Dew Pure Water yearly on the day of Awakening Insects, while also practicing diligently.]


    [In a blink of an eye, another four years passed.]


    [In the twenty-fourth year, after the day of Awakening Insects, you had gathered two hundred thirty drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]


    [Although you had enhanced the practice of the Li Fire Technique, you found that there was still quite a distance to achieve its Great Perfection.]


    [The biggest issue was that your current Spiritual Power was insufficient to let the Li Fire Technique burst forth with the utmost high temperature.]


    [Perhaps after reaching the Return to Void Realm and having a surge in Cultivation Level, you could better activate the Li Fire Technique.]


    [In the twenty-fifth year, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts broke through Demon-Subduing Pass, and many Human Race warriors died in battle.]


    [A small number of Human Race warriors fled back to the real world, preparing for their last stand.]


    [It was a Living Dead Puppet!]


    [However, this Living Dead Puppet was much stronger than those in the Wan Mu ruins.]


    [In life, this entity was at least in the late stages of the Broken Void Realm, even close to the Great Perfection!]


    [You observed this Living Dead Puppet carefully and noticed that its hair and beard were all white, its eyebrows also white, resembling the White-Eyebrow Priest from a certain movie.]


    [But its current state was extremely pitiful: disheveled white hair, a pale face, and a body bearing endless resentment!]


    [Seeing the Living Dead Puppet about to attack again, you instinctively raised your Protective Gang Qi once more and dashed towards the core area of the ruins.]


    [Fortunately, your escaping speed had increased significantly, and since the Living Dead Puppet seemed to have a disability in its legs, it couldn''t catch up immediately.]


    [With full speed, you desperately ran forward, reaching the core area of the Five Elements Mountain ancient tomb in just a few breaths.]


    [Strangely, the core area of this ancient tomb seemed to have no Formation...]


    [No, it seemed there once had been a Formation, but it had been violently destroyed!]


    [While fleeing for your life, you were filled with doubt: Did Damned Zong once come here?]


    [But you quickly denied that thought. According to Damned Zong''s diary, he never dared set foot in this part of the Five Elements Sect ruins.]


    [Quickly stepping into the core area, you took notice of a huge bronze sarcophagus.]


    [Similar in appearance to the one in the Wan Mu ruins, but instead of a vast forest, this sarcophagus bore images of the Five Elements...]


    [What puzzled you even more was that the bronze sarcophagus was already open, and the cultivator who should have been sleeping inside was nowhere to be found.]


    [An idea immediately surfaced in your mind: the Living Dead Puppet chasing you was the cultivator who should have been resting inside the sarcophagus!]


    [For some unknown reason, the cultivator who should have been in slumber had awakened prematurely and turned into this form of a Living Dead Puppet.]


    [But you didn''t have time to contemplate the reasons as the Living Dead Puppet was still hot on your heels.]
