Within the Demon Burying Valley, there were three types of people. One was those that went into hiding to preserve their ranks, and the other was those that went around looking for Lin Xiao to steal treasures. The other was none other than Lin Xiao.

If anyone else wanted a share of the spoils, Lin Xiao would have been able to understand. But why would Hao Zhan want to kill him?

If one were to say that he was fighting over a heavenly treasure, then the heavenly treasure that Hao Zhan possessed would definitely be even more valuable than the one that Lin Xiao possessed. Moreover, Lin Xiao had never provoked Hao Zhan before.

"Whoever provides clues about Lin Xiao will be rewarded with a million demon spirit coins."

This was the voice Hao Zhan had shouted out in the Demon Burying Valley. This sentence caused Lin Xiao to sink into an even more embarrassing situation. He couldn't even rest at night; he was practically fleeing.

Because he could not be bothered, if he were to waste too much time, even if more people rushed over, he would not be able to escape.

Fortunately, after his physique had changed, he had improved in every aspect. Even his speed of escape had increased, and he had managed to escape a few times with his life on the line.

In the following half a month, he was being hunted. Two or three times, Hao Zhan had personally come out to kill him. Only after using all of his trump cards, did he manage to escape.

Thanks to Hao Zhan, Lin Xiao had gathered a massive amount of spiritual medicines to treat his wounds. If he couldn't obtain the corresponding heavenly and earthly treasures then that would be useless. Thus, Lin Xiao's points began to drop bit by bit.

There were several times when Lin Xiao wanted to go to the Fallen Immortal Cliff to test his luck and see if he could obtain a rare heavenly resource. This was because although the Fallen Immortal Cliff was one of the three danger zones, it was at the center of the Demon Burying Valley.

Even though the Fallen Immortal Cliff was a danger zone, it was also a great opportunity.

Lin Xiao had a deep understanding of this point. The so-called 'Jedi' was nothing more than weak cultivators who couldn't eat grapes and called them sour grapes.

The Snow Valley had received the Ice Spirit Flame, and the Phoenix Nest had received the true Phoenix Fire. Which one of them was not a treasure that everyone was fighting over?

However, Lin Xiao was very hesitant about whether or not he was really going to the Fallen Immortal Cliff. If his identity was discovered at the Fallen Immortal Cliff, then he definitely would not be able to escape.

If he did not go to the Fallen Immortal Cliff, Lin Xiao would not be able to find a way to compete with those on the rankings.

He would not let out the Ice Spirit Flame and the Ice Snow Spirit Milk, and he had given the majority of the Spirit Beast Cores to Wu Ling, so he had used up most of the Spirit Medicines in the past few days.

Seeing that another contestant had unlocked his name, he took a look at the rankings. At this time, he was at the bottom, ranked 653rd. The 147 contestants behind him had already been eliminated by the other contestants.

Among them, only one third of the contestants had been eliminated by Hao Zhan. From the very beginning, this contestant had rushed all the way to the top five in a high-profile manner.

It could be said that his reputation was all based on his reputation.

Just as Lin Xiao was hesitating, a piece of news spread out, causing him to make a decision.

Yesterday, at the bottom of the Fallen Immortal Cliff, there was a gate of immortality that opened. It was said that the gate of immortality was an immortal storage area, and there was even the secret of immortality.

When Lin Xiao heard this news, he decided to head to the Demon Burying Valley. Where was the Immortal Graveyard? The Immortal Graveyard was more like it. This place was originally called the Demon Burying Valley. Lin Xiao guessed that there might be some outstanding characters from the demon race within the Demon Burying Valley, at least on the level of Supreme Realm.

The place where the Lord Dragon Emperor had fallen.

Lin Xiao was shocked by this thought. He began to head towards the Demon Burying Valley. He caught a demon on the way and obtained accurate information.

The Celestial Gate will open in two days. It will continue to open for five days. Five days later, the Celestial Gate will close and the trial in Demon Burying Valley will conclude.

When Lin Xiao heard this, his heart filled with anxiety. It seemed like the only chance he had to make a comeback in the Celestial Gate. Otherwise, he could only return home resentfully.

Originally, it was just to fulfill his promise to Mu Qi, but now he had become desperate for power. This was because of Lin Xuan's departure. Without strength, he couldn't even persuade Lin Xuan to stay.

There was also another piece of news that made his heart turn cold. The Celestial Gate had attracted almost all the contestants, and they all wanted to enter and encounter opportunities.

The eight demons, the Beitang Shrine, Jiang Liu'er, and the crown prince of the three flags, the most famous and publicly recognized contestants, had already arrived at the Fallen Immortal Cliff and were waiting for the gate to open.

This made it difficult for Lin Xiao. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was no longer eaten like a piece of meat. It seemed that he had to think of another way to enter the immortal gate.

Lin Xiao wasn't stupid enough to use spirit essence to easily sneak in. It simply wasn't feasible. Those with a higher cultivation could instantly distinguish the truth from the false.

However, what Lin Xiao did not expect was that when he was lurking outside the Fallen Immortal Cliff, he actually met someone he knew.

"Zhuge Ce, what is this guy doing?"

Of course, Lin Xiao still remembered that Zhuge Ce, who had a period of experience with him in the Domain of the Falling Stars, was a disciple of the array master and was chopping trees on the barren mountain behind the Door of Immortality.

Below the Fallen Immortal Cliff was the Door of Immortality, and behind the Fallen Immortal Cliff were a few barren mountains. Zhuge Ce was one of them.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to go around to the back to get closer to the Door of Immortality, but ended up meeting an old acquaintance.

Lin Xiao approached Zhuge stealthily, wanting to see what the latter was up to. However, Zhuge Ce had sensed Lin Xiao long ago. He said, "If you're here, come out. Lin Xiao, why are you hiding? It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao immediately revealed himself. Since others already knew, there was no need for him to hide.

"What are you doing?"

Zhuge Ce smiled mysteriously and asked Lin Xiao, "Do you want to obtain great opportunities?"

Lin Xiao nodded, indicating for Zhuge Ce to continue speaking. The latter then spoke again, "This is a Yin Yang Graveyard, which is hidden from the world. The Yin Yang Graveyard appears before the eyes of the world. It rotates between Yin and Yang for all eternity."

Zhuge's gatha caused Lin Xiao's head to hurt. He had never learned formations, how could he know what it meant?

"In short, the treasures entering from the Door of Immortality are not as valuable as mine. I have a great opportunity here, so this should be the secret to becoming an Immortal."

Only then did Lin Xiao realize that there were quite a lot of traces of spirit essence under his feet. It should be the marks made by the spirit essence, because all the trees that were chopped down had formation marks on the rings of the tree stump.

Zhuge used the tree stumps as the array flag, the earth as the base, and the gate of immortality as the starting point to lay down the Eight Trigrams Formation.

Lin Xiao was somewhat confused as he asked, "What is an array eye?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, he immediately felt Zhuge Ce staring at him with malicious intentions as if he was planning something.

"I have Earth Spirit Stones for the Formation Aperture, but I need the Qi of the Celestial Gate to guide me. So, I need you to go and snatch a strand of the Celestial Gate's Qi to activate the Formation Aperture."

Looking at Zhuge Ce's smiling expression, Lin Xiao really wanted to punch him and make his head explode.

Even though they knew that he would be torn apart by the player led by Hao Zhan, they still let him go.

"Why not you?"

"I've decided to bring you to this opportunity. You owe me one, isn't it normal for you to go?"
