Ye Chen prepared to set off for the Dark Mountain Mine.

Before he took action, he had conducted a necessary investigation. First, he started with some legends, then he consulted others. Finally, he had specially bought various maps that recorded the Dark Mountain Mine and understood it in detail.

It was said that the people working in the Dark Mountain Mine were all humans.

It was not that there were no humans in the Upper Realm.

However, those humans in the Upper Realm were all slaves.

Because they were slaves, they were very cheap labor. Therefore, the Spirit Clan let these humans go to the dark mountain mining field to collect concentrates.

Those concentrates contained extremely powerful energy. They could be used as refined iron to forge all kinds of magic tools. They could also be used to set up arrays and cultivate.

After Ye Chen learned of all this, he also wanted to rescue those humans.

However, this time, Ye Chen had to use the right method.

Those human slaves were all marked with slave imprints. If they were not careful, they would detonate the slave imprints, causing them to die an unnatural death.

“Sign in!” After Ye Chen cultivated, he began to sign in.

He signed in almost every day. However, sometimes, he signed in and obtained ordinary medicinal elixirs and other things, so Ye Chen did not care.

However, with this system, Ye Chen made use of it every day.

[Ding, congratulations to host for successfully signing in and obtaining the Great Dao of purification.]

[The Great Dao of purification. After cultivating, one can purify all abilities, detoxify poison, and remove any marks.]

At this moment, Ye Chen’s heart was filled with joy.

He did not expect to sign in and obtain such a useful thing at this time.

Ye Chen immediately began to cultivate. Purifying the Great Dao was not an extremely difficult great dao to comprehend. After Ye Chen cultivated, although he had just started, the current him…could also use this great dao to cure some simple poisons.

As for the slave mark, he did not know if it could be removed.

There were no slaves by Ye Chen’s side, so he was not sure.

After cultivating for a while, Ye Chen prepared to head to the Dark Mountain Mine.

“That place is very dangerous. Although it contains great opportunities, 80% of the people who go there every year die.”

This was the voice of the gray-haired old man who was guarding the teleportation array in a magnificent city. He had a thin face and a dim gaze. He looked at everyone and gave this warning.

However, even so, Ye Chen still had to go.

Ye Chen brought Little Qing along on their journey.

Although the Dark Mountain Mine was within the borders of the Five Elements Prefecture, it was already at the periphery. It was already very far away from the interior. If one wanted to go, they would have to rely on this kind of complicated and huge teleportation formation.

And this kind of super teleportation formation that could allow one to travel across continents was only in the hands of a few great sects.

This one was light green in color, built with a kind of strange stone. It was engraved with all kinds of complicated and mysterious symbols, and it was sacrificed with primitive precious bones, circulating mysterious power.

The altar began to shine. A golden beast bone was the first to shatter, and then two purple bird bones cracked open…the pile of precious bones used for sacrifice burned up, releasing divine power.

It could be seen just how huge the consumption was. An ordinary great sect would not be able to operate it at all!

With a ‘hong’ sound, symbols spread out, and the great formation began to operate. It quickly pierced through the void, creating a pale green path of light that spread out into the distance.

There were several thousand people who stepped into the glowing path together. They were all creatures who wanted to go to the Dark Mountain Mine. Some wanted to explore, and there were also people from large factions who were escorting the ferocious beasts.

The light green path was very stable, and it pierced through the void. It led to tens of millions of kilometers away. These people entered in an orderly manner and disappeared continuously.

Not long after, a huge door of light appeared in front of them. Soon, they arrived at their destination. This was void travel. Crossing space and crossing an astronomical distance, they could arrive in the shortest amount of time.

“There aren’t too many people this time,” someone outside the door of light said. They were guarding this place. This was a fixed-point teleportation. It was to prevent accidents from happening. That was why there were protectors.

“Oh, last time, tens of thousands of people came. Unfortunately, many people entered the island and never came out,” an old man sighed.

This kind of array only opened once every half a month. At least thousands of people had to go on the road at the same time. This way, the rare fee paid was enough to support the operation of the array. Otherwise, even the great sect would not be able to handle it.

If they wanted to travel alone. Unless they directly provided rare treasures, the fee paid by one person would be equivalent to the various heavenly and earthly treasures offered by thousands or tens of thousands of people.

Ye Chen stepped out of the passage and raised his head to take a look. The sky was gray and somewhat oppressive. The Sun could not be seen all year round, and it was always shrouded in mist.

In the Dark Mountain Mine, there were two kinds of people.

One was the slaves who mined the minerals.

The other were the people who went to the mine to trade.

The Dark Mountain Mine was the property of the Spirit Clan, and they often mined some spirit mines.

Moreover, the Dark Mountain Mine was open to the outside world, so people would go to the mine to trade.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen had a chance to enter the Dark Mountain Mine.

“You won’t be able to see it from here. You’ll need to cross 800 meters of the foggy realm before you can truly enter the island,” a boatman said. He came forward to pull business, wanting to carry people over.

“It’s only 800 meters, and you can fly over directly. Why do you need a ferry?” Someone sneered. After saying that, he stepped on the treasured artifact, rose into the air, and quickly left into the distance.

However, he had only been a few dozen meters away when he immediately let out a cry of surprise.

Everyone was astonished. This foggy area was indeed not ordinary. The few people who had flown out just now had all fled back in a sorry state. Each and every one of them had fallen and their faces were swollen. Their bones and tendons were broken and their injuries were serious.

Ye Chen’s gaze was calm. He kept Little Qing into his storage space and stood calmly on the ship.

He disguised himself as a member of the Spirit Clan and headed toward the mine.

Ye Chen was the same. He stood on the ship and paid attention to his surroundings. The fog in front of him grew thicker and thicker until it was difficult to see anything clearly within a few meters. Without a guide, it was easy to get lost.

At this moment, Ye Chen realized that a few gazes seemed to be fixed on him.

That was right. Other than slaves, most of the people heading toward the Dark Mountain Mine were there to trade.

Therefore, many people here were fat sheep.

When everyone saw Ye Chen, a handsome young master, and so young, he was definitely a fat sheep.

Therefore, many people turned their gazes to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen naturally noticed those greedy gazes.

However, he only smiled lightly and looked forward, not caring about anything else.

Ye Chen knew that the True Self Realm was the strength of the elders of the various clans in this Upper Realm. Therefore, Ye Chen’s strength here was practically invincible.

Therefore, no matter who wanted to target him, Ye Chen could kill them instantly.

Ye Chen did not care. He just stood calmly on the ship.

“Eh, what is that?”

Suddenly, someone cried out in shock. In the fog a thousand feet away, there was a pair of blood-red eyes that were like lanterns. They flickered with an icy-cold light and carried a thick killing intent.
