Elsewhere.

In the hands of "Ding Xiaojia," the young master of the Nine-Star Palace in the Jiumang Continent, a talisman turned into flying ash and disappeared without a trace. In front of him, the corpses of hundreds of basin-sized fire red butterflies fell onto the glittering vast Desert of Death.

"Damn it, this treasure hunt in the Divine Heritage Cave is really dangerous!"

"Last time I entered the Divine Heritage Cave, I never encountered so many threats!"

"Right after teleporting in, someone was killed by the Transmission Light Formation. I've only traveled a little over five hundred li, and I've already been attacked by monsters three times!"

"The first wave of attacks, that group of golden scorpions. If it hadn't been for the 'Heavenly Spirit Shield' my father prepared for me, I might have fallen for their tricks! The 'Weird Black Snake' and the hallucinogenic 'Fire Red Butterfly' that followed have already cost me two Battle Talismans!"

"If this keeps up, I'm afraid the treasures I've prepared won't be enough to deal with the dangers of this treasure hunt!"

Gazing at the corpses of the fire red butterflies on the ground, Ding Xiaojia's expression shifted, then he gritted his teeth, and with a flash of light in his hand, a green flute appeared.

"It seems that only by wielding this Divine Artifact can I be somewhat safer, though it will use up some of the Divine Jade needed to activate it in advance!"

Looking out toward the boundless Desert of Death ahead, Ding Xiaojia finally steeled his resolve and instantly flew into the green flute.

Then, this green flute astonishingly transformed directly into a green snake, and began to weave its way through the golden sand!

This green flute, a Divine Artifact, was not only a spatial artifact into which one could fly but could also change shape and move at high speed!

...

"Aunt, thank you for your help just now!"

"I didn't expect the danger of this Divine Heritage Cave to exceed my expectations. Just now, I managed to fend off six rounds of attacks, but in the seventh round, I almost fell for it without being careful."

In a certain area in the western part of the great desert, Huo Mei'er's charming face briefly registered shock before returning to composure. Ten zhang before her, a black rat-like monster lay dead in the desert.

Beside Huo Mei'er stood a woman in green clothing, carrying an ancient sword on her back. This woman's aura was even stronger than that of the Three-Eyed Skeleton at its full burst during the battle with Ye Chen in the restricted ancient grounds!

Hearing Huo Mei'er's words, the woman in green affectionately stroked her head, "Mei'er, this time is different from before. You have to avenge your mother; you can't be the least bit distracted!"

"Yes, I understand, Aunt!" Upon hearing the words of the woman in green, Huo Mei'er's lovely face took on a gravely serious expression, and the faint mark of a flame on her forehead started to shimmer with a strange light!

Seeing Huo Mei'er's demeanor, the woman in green smiled, and with a swift motion, she vanished instantly.

The next moment, Huo Mei'er touched the white belt around her waist and continued on her way.

...

In the northern part of the first section of the Path of Life and Death in the Desert of Death.

The Three-Eyed Skeleton, now in the guise of a young man in the mid-stage of heavenly sanctity, looked out over the endless desert and sneered, "Every three thousand three hundred years, the cycle turns, and indeed, this first section of the Path of Life and Death has presented nine mortal dangers, unlike the mere three minor dangers of the past."

"Heh heh, I wonder how many of those who came this time will be able to make it to the third section of the treasure ground."

"That scourge, he is certainly one who will make it."

In the end, the Three-Eyed Skeleton's eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

Soon after, his sleeves swept up, and he disappeared from the desert altogether.

...

Ye Chen, who was journeying through the Divine Heritage Cave, was unaware of the experiences of others.

Two days after entering the first section of the Path of Life and Death, Ye Chen finally emerged from the endless Desert of Death.

Although it took half a day longer than expected to get out, Ye Chen, who had survived countless perilous attacks, looked at the Transmission Light Formation that appeared at the edge of the great desert with a satisfied smile on his face.

With a flip of his palm, a small grey pouch appeared in his hand.

"Although this first section of the Path of Life and Death was perilous, relying on numerous methods and the help of the nine great Ice Guards, I managed to get through smoothly. But unexpectedly, it was a great haul, allowing me to discover so much 'Warmsun Sand'!"

Ye Chen sent his divine consciousness into the grey pouch and saw tens of thousands of golden red grains of sand shining with the brilliance of the midday sun.

These round golden red grains were the "Warmsun Sand" needed to capture the "Netherworld Ants"!

In the Desert of Death, following the guidance of the Three-Eyed Skeleton's Law-patterned Jade Token, Ye Chen headed to the region where the "Warmsun Sand" mentioned by the Three-Eyed Skeleton was said to be located.

As a result, after digging five feet below the golden sand grains, a pit filled with Warmsun Sand appeared before Ye Chen.

In that pit, Ye Chen directly discovered over eighty thousand grains of Warmsun Sand.

According to the Three-Eyed Skeleton, ten thousand grains of Warmsun Sand were enough to attract a "Netherworld Ant," and the remaining sand could be used to feed the Netherworld Ant once it was truly captured.

Originally, finding over eighty thousand grains of Warmsun Sand had already satisfied Ye Chen.

Unexpectedly, just then, Ye Chen encountered the seventh wave of life-or-death danger in the Desert of Death and was attacked by a black Burrowing Rat!

After battling with the Burrowing Rat, the creature was defeated and fled in panic. After Ye Chen killed it in its burrow, he sensed an even stronger presence of "Warmsun Sand" not far from the Burrowing Rat's cave.

As a result, Ye Chen dug and discovered a pit even larger than the previous one filled with Warmsun Sand, containing as many as seven to eight hundred thousand grains.

This discovery, of course, thrilled Ye Chen immensely!

Ye Chen directly took out a spirit sack from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant and collected all seven to eight hundred thousand grains of Warmsun Sand into the bag.

Adding to the previously found eighty thousand grains, the amount of Warmsun Sand Ye Chen had acquired this time was almost close to a million grains!

This Warmsun Sand was an exceedingly precious item of ultimate Yang nature.

Not only was it very useful for breeding "Netherworld Ants," it was also usable in Artifact Refining. Bing Shisan had even mentioned that it played a significant role in refining Divine Artifacts.

Moreover, this Warmsun Sand could also remove evil spirits and nourish the soul...

In short, it had no small number of uses.

Such a large quantity of Warmsun Sand was found, which of course thrilled Ye Chen immensely!

Having acquired the Warmsun Sand smoothly, Ye Chen became even more confident about the upcoming capture of the "Netherworld Ant."

On the edge of the great desert.

After looking at the magical grains of Warmsun Sand in the bag once more, Ye Chen put the bag back into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Afterward, his figure moved, and he flew into the Transmission Light Formation at the edge of the great desert.

The great desert was the first checkpoint of the Path of Life and Death.

After passing the first segment of the life-and-death checkpoint, the first treasure land would appear!

Passing through the Transmission Light Formation would directly enter the treasure land.

Instantly after Ye Chen stepped into the Transmission Light Formation, he vanished from the edge of the great desert, and in the next moment, as heaven and earth turned, Ye Chen had already arrived in a world of green mountains and clear waters!

"Is this the first treasure land?"

"According to the Sky-shocking Stele, there is only one day of treasure hunting time in each treasure land."

"Once entering the treasure land, after one day, whether or not the treasure is found, the Treasure Cave Key will transport us out of the treasure land. This one day of treasure hunting time must be used wisely!"

"In this first treasure land, since I already have a target in the 'Netherworld Ant,' let's first go find that Netherworld Ant!"

"This place is unlike the Path of Life and Death where there is a ban on flying; here I can freely fly to hunt for treasures without any danger. It's a place specially meant for treasure hunting, much more comfortable!"

"It is rumored that countless treasures in this treasure land are all hidden in various treasure caves. There are caves on mountains, in water, in the earth, and even in the cracks of space, where treasure caves may be hidden."

"First find the 'Netherworld Ant,' if there's extra time, then see if other treasures can be found!"

"The Three-Eyed Skeleton said that the last time he found the 'Netherworld Ant' was more than thirteen hundred years ago. Netherworld Ants, according to legend, are a unique type of Yin Attribute Spirit Insect with a lifespan of only a thousand years. Presumably, after these thirteen hundred years, the old Netherworld Ants have long since died, and many new Netherworld Ants must have appeared!"

Ye Chen surveyed the green mountains and clear waters of this first treasure land, then, determining his direction, he flew towards a northern pile of earth in the treasure land that was said to be over thirty zhang high and a dense cave.

After flying for about three hours, Ye Chen finally saw the small mound over thirty zhang tall on the ground not far ahead in the void.

But when Ye Chen flew down in front of the small mound and found a hidden cave within it, and truly entered inside, what he saw in the treasure cave completely surprised Ye Chen, who was prepared to capture the "Netherworld Ant."
