On the ship.

Mu Lao nodded and glanced at the Yunluo Mountains below. After hesitating for a moment, his old voice rang out: "To calculate a Great Emperor through cause and effect is as difficult as reaching the heavens."

He paused and slowly continued, "But this woman named Ruoyu, if she is only a Great Emperor's woman, she can still be calculated."

Jiang Youlong and Hua Hongyi exchanged glances, revealing joy.

Immediately, the ship slowed down and came to a complete stop in the sky. The figures of several people leaped down.

They flew into the Yunluo Mountains.

The Yunluo Mountains stretched endlessly, with winding mountain ranges crisscrossing each other. There were low hills and plains, as well as towering peaks that reached the clouds.

This was a paradise for demonic beasts.

It was also a place for cultivators to explore and train. Many disciples from various sects came here for training.

Six thousand years ago, Lin Feng met Yuan Ruoyu here.

Thus, a series of stories unfolded.

Jiang Youlong and the others entered the Yunluo Mountains, and a primitive and desolate aura rushed towards them.

Ancient trees covered the sky, blocking out the sun.

Occasionally, the roars of demonic beasts that shook the mountains could be heard from afar.

"Two thousand years ago, I also came here to explore for a spiritual medicine. Looking back now, time really flies!" Hua Hongyi's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of reminiscence.

Beside her, Zuo Qingtian laughed heartily and said with a hint of playfulness, "Unfortunately, you didn't encounter a Great Emperor here. Otherwise, you might have had a romantic encounter."

"Giggle..."

Hua Hongyi laughed, causing her chest to tremble, and licked her lips. "If I really met a Great Emperor, I wouldn't mind experiencing a crazy romance."

Zuo Qingtian's eyes flickered with a wicked flame as he watched.

Jiang Youlong turned around and smiled, "Even if you did meet one, how would you know if that person would become a Great Emperor in the future?"

Hua Hongyi was momentarily stunned and said, "That's true."

The group continued to traverse the mountains.

Their footsteps seemed slow, but with each step, they covered a great distance.

Occasionally, they encountered demonic beasts that leaped out from the forest, which they easily killed without even looking.

These low-level demonic beasts had no value to them.

After about half an hour passed, Jiang Youlong stopped in front and pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "If we go further, we will reach the inner region of the Yunluo Mountains. Most of the demonic beasts there are at least at the third stage!"

Jiang Youlong continued, "According to the diary, the Immortal Great Emperor and Ruoyu were not highly cultivated at that time, so they definitely wouldn't have gone too deep. I think their activities mostly took place on the outskirts of the mountains."

Beside him, Mu Lao, who had not spoken since they entered the mountains, nodded approvingly. "Not bad. Let's calculate cause and effect here."

Mu Lao's figure was enveloped in a mysterious fluctuation, making it impossible to see his appearance. His voice was old, "You all protect me here. Remember, I cannot be disturbed during the calculation. And if the other party's cultivation level is higher than mine, I can only calculate three times at most!"

"Whether we can find a clue depends on fate."

Jiang Youlong, Hua Hongyi, and Zuo Qingtian all became serious and nodded solemnly.

They each took up a position.

All three of them were at the early stage of Void Refining, and with the protection of their treasures, there was basically no danger in this outer area.

After everything was ready, Mu Lao began to operate his technique and started the calculation.

"Lin Feng, Ruoyu!"

"About six thousand years ago, one was at the Qi Refining stage, and the other was at the Gold Core stage."

These were the pieces of information they had learned from the diary.

Even when calculating cause and effect, they had some prior knowledge.

Mu Lao's mana surged, his robe rustled, his hair flew, and an extremely mysterious fluctuation erupted from his body.

Boom!

Mysterious fluctuations enveloped him, radiating brilliance. In the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly as he entered a strange space.

He was still in the Yunluo Mountains.

However, the scenery before him began to change subtly, like a dream, undergoing strange transformations.

Strange rays of light appeared before his eyes.

The light was dazzling, interweaving into a dreamlike web.

Mu Lao squinted his eyes, seemingly half-asleep. He reached out and plucked at the rays of light as if playing a musical instrument.

Every time he touched a ray of light, images flashed through his mind.

A middle-aged man with a beard was setting traps to hunt down demonic beasts.

A ragged young boy was being chased and jumped off a cliff.

Cultivators were engaged in fierce battles with demonic beasts, blood splattering in a violent manner.

In a secluded mountain wilderness, young cultivators were passionately kissing each other.

One by one, these scenes flashed through Mu Lao's mind.

Unfortunately, he didn't find what he was looking for. He continued to manipulate the other rays of light.

More and more images appeared.

Sweat beads formed on his forehead, and his complexion grew pale. His energy weakened.

All of these events took place six thousand years ago.

Even with his current cultivation level, if he continued for too long, his mana would be difficult to sustain.

Just at this moment!

Mu Lao's expression changed. The two rays of light before him were much brighter and more solid than the others.

Moreover, they were entangled more deeply.

He reached out and gently touched them, and the images before his eyes changed, becoming blurry, illusory, and elusive.

One figure was completely unpredictable and unforeseeable.

The other figure was shrouded in dense mist, appearing and disappearing, unfathomable and inscrutable.

"Lin Feng, are you really confident?"

At this moment, a clear voice sounded in Mu Lao's ears.

The voice was crisp and pleasant, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

Mu Lao's mind shook, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He burst into laughter, "Lin Feng!"

"Immortal Great Emperor, I found it, finally found it."

At the same time.

Almost at the instant Mu Lao touched that thread of causality, Yuan Ruoyu, who was sitting on the lotus platform in the Jade Pool Holy Land, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Who dares to scheme against this deity?"

This reprimand resounded in Mu Lao's mind like a thunderbolt. Both the images and the voice turned into ashes.

His divine sense was also dragged into the abyss by an immense force.

Mu Lao's mind trembled, filled with extreme horror.

He quickly severed his divine sense and broke free from causality, thus avoiding the risk of being engulfed by the river of time.

"Phew..."

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, the next moment, Mu Lao's mind became excited again, overwhelmed by an incredibly strong sense of crisis.

His whole body shuddered.

"Not good!"

"The opponent's cultivation level is much higher than mine. Following the thread of causality, they have come knocking on my door!"

In a state of urgency, Mu Lao shouted at Jiang Youlong, "Quick! Protect me and ensure my safety."

Jiang Youlong's face turned grave. He immediately flew up and summoned a large shield.

Buzz!

The shield radiated light, dazzling with golden brilliance. Various inscriptions and symbols of the Great Dao lit up within it.

A beam of light descended, enveloping Mu Lao within it.

Boom!

At the next moment, an immensely powerful divine sense attacked Mu Lao from the horizon.

"Poof..."

The shield shattered, turning into countless fragments that filled the sky. Mu Lao's figure flew backward, blood spewing from his mouth...
