Xu Rui and the other two took turns steering the spirit vessel and left the forest, moving in a single direction continuously. Day and night alternated and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Strange enough, when Xu Rui and the other two went to the Ascension Altar, they passed through more than ten states and met with endless danger.

When the three of them arrived at the Ascension Altar, they were all injured.

However, their return journey was relatively smooth without much danger.

According to Chen Qianhe, there were a total of 108 states in the Southeast Region of the major chiliocosm and they were originally occupied by experts of the Flora race.

After the turmoil more than six billion years ago, the Chaos Sanctuary was destroyed and the southeast territory was in chaos. The experts of the other races gradually rose and the Flora race declined day by day.

As of now, the 108 states were considered first-rate factions of the major chiliocosm and were mostly ruled by powerful living beings of other races.

As for the human race, their status was extremely low among the ten thousand races of the major chiliocosm.

Humans were born weak and had ordinary bloodlines. They were at the bottom of the ten thousand races and could not even compare to the Flora race.

Such a situation was similar in the minor and medium chiliocosms.

However, there would often be peerless experts of the human race who shone through the ages and surpassed the ten thousand races!

Chen Qianhe also mentioned something. In the Northwest Region of the major chiliocosm, there were a total of 33 Heavens ruled by a powerful race called the Heavenly Being race.

Legend had it that the Heavenly Being race was abnormally powerful. From birth, they had a close affinity to the Great Dao and their cultivation speed was extremely fast.

That was only what Chen Qianhe had heard from her ancestors. She did not know the exact details either.

The three of them had never left the Southeast Region of the major chiliocosm and had never come into contact with the Heavenly Being race personally.

On this day, the four of them finally entered the territory of Baldachin State.

Su Zimo sat upright on the spirit vessel and could not help but laugh when he looked down.

Everywhere he looked, there were many beings from the Mushroom race. They were colorful and covered entire mountains.

Large mushrooms soared into the skies like a gigantic canopy that blotted out the skies. Colored butterflies danced and anacondas coiled around them. There were also many poisonous spiders forming nets in the corners…

Many living beings resided under them and they were each like a world of their own!

Su Zimo and the others passed through below. Compared to them, they were as insignificant as ants.

Some of the mushrooms were only the size of a finger but their shapes were similar. Looking down from above and looking around, they were really like colorful roofs standing on this vast land.

Of course, there were other types of plants in Baldachin State. However, the Mushroom race occupied the majority.

Chen Qianhe said, “These mushrooms in Baldachin State are not aggressive and usually won’t take the initiative to attack other races. However, you have to be careful. Some mushrooms are poisonous and can’t be touched.”

“I heard from the ancestors that back when the Chaos Sanctuary was still around and the Flora race was at its peak, a Dao Supremacy expert came to Baldachin State and ate a poison mushroom by mistake. He did not make it out alive.”

Su Zimo nodded to himself.

The fact that a single poison mushroom could kill a Dao Supremacy expert was indeed impressive.

“Fellow Daoist Su, after arriving at Chaos Palace, don’t walk around casually or stay too far away.”

Chen Qianhe reminded again, “There are many types of poisonous mushrooms in Baldachin State. Some of them can be recognized at a glance, but some are good at disguising themselves. They look harmless, but they’re actually extremely poisonous.”

“Even if you touch them by accident, your life will definitely be in danger!”

Su Zimo nodded and gave a casual reply.

When Xu Rui saw that Su Zimo did not seem to think much of it, he could not help but frown internally and reminded him, “Fellow Daoist Su, let alone the fact that you’ve just ascended to the major chiliocosm, even for us who stay here all year round, we can’t differentiate between the species of the poison mushrooms.”

Su Zimo smiled and did not explain.

Although he had no knowledge of the poison mushrooms, he had the Green Lotus Body and the Green Lotus bloodline—no poison mushroom could poison him!

Therefore, all he needed was a single glance to sense which mushroom was poisonous.

After entering Baldachin State, the spirit vessel was handed over to Xu Rui.

He had a grim expression as he shuttled carefully through the mushrooms, trying his best to avoid the colorful poisonous mushrooms and advance slowly.

A few days later, they arrived at Chaos Palace.

The so-called Chaos Palace was not an actual palace. It was made up of hundreds of simple straw huts scattered in the mountains and looked extremely shabby.

“Senior Brother Xu and the others are back!”

When they saw Xu Rui and the other two, a few shouts sounded from the crowd below.

Some cultivators stood up one after another and welcomed them.

Su Zimo swept his gaze through the crowd. There were only 3,000-odd people below and almost all of them were sentient plants that transformed into human forms with different cultivation levels.

Some had low cultivation realms and were only Black and Earth Immortals. Some had cultivated to become Grotto-heaven Kings or even advance to the World realm.

Apart from Xu Rui and the other two, there was only an honest-looking middle-aged man who had advanced to the Dao Manifestation realm. His main body was an ancient pagoda tree and he was at the Second Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm.

“Senior Brother Pan, there are fewer people again?”

The moment Xu Rui and the others descended, Meng Shi asked with a frown.

The honest Senior Brother Pan rubbed his palms. “We don’t occupy any Source Mines and lack cultivation resources. Some people couldn’t hold on and left to find another way out.”

“This is…”

Senior Brother Pan looked at Su Zimo who was walking down slowly from the spirit vessel and asked.

“He’s an ascender we brought over. His name is Su Zimo.”

Chen Qianhe said, “Fellow Daoist Su, this is Senior Brother Pan Mu.”

Su Zimo cupped his fists towards Pan Mu and greeted.

Pan Mu smiled awkwardly before looking at Meng Shi with a puzzled gaze, not understanding why the three of them brought over such an old man who was at the end of his rope.

“Hmph!”

Meng Shi harrumphed angrily.

They experienced danger on this trip. Not only did they not gain anything, they even brought back a burden.

Pan Mu seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly, “Recently, we’ve been targeted by Black Rat Sect. Who knows, those rats might come knocking at our door at any moment.”

“We don’t even occupy any Source Mines, why are there people finding trouble with us?”

Meng Shi was indignant.

“Why don’t we leave so that we don’t clash with Black Rat Sect?”

Chen Qianhe surveyed her surroundings and her eyes darkened as she said softly, “We only have these people left in Chaos Palace. We can’t deal with any more fights.”

“But if we continue to escape like this, when will it end?”

Pan Mu sighed.

Xu Rui clenched his fists and a look of determination flashed through his eyes. “Black Rat Sect is only a third-grade faction. It’s just that they have more Supremacy experts. If they dare to come knocking on our door, I’ll take them on!”

In the major chiliocosm, factions with Dao Supremacies would usually be called first-rate factions.

Those with Heavenly Supremacies were called second-rate factions.

For those like Chaos Palace that only had Supremacies, they were called third-rate factions.

“Senior Brother Xu, but your injuries…”

Chen Qianhe frowned slightly.

“It’s fine.”

Xu Rui took a deep breath of air and looked at everyone around him. He raised his voice. “As long as we survive this period of time, we’ll have a chance to see the light! When I take another step forward and advance to the Dao Comprehension realm, our Chaos Palace will have the strength to stand firmly on this ground and our situation will definitely improve!”

There were very few people who responded.

In fact, many followers no longer had much hope for Chaos Palace.

Without sufficient cultivation resources, how could it be so easy to advance to the Dao Comprehension realm?

The so-called Sanctuary might really be just a legend.
