In an instant, Li Qingshan traveled several hundred miles and arrived at his destination, seeing the other person.

It was Xia Wuji!

Li Qingshan felt relieved. It was good to see one of his own. Since Xia Wuji was here, it meant everyone was nearby and hadn’t gone too far.

“Li Qingshan, what is going on here?” Xia Wuji asked excitedly upon seeing Li Qingshan. He had just entered and knew nothing, nor had he seen anyone else, thinking he would have to explore alone.

“Hold onto your identity token; I’ll keep looking for the others,” Li Qingshan instructed, without explaining further. He told Xia Wuji to wait for his identity token and continued to search the surrounding hundreds of miles.

On the second search, Li Qingshan adapted a bit more and expanded his range to eight hundred miles.

Sure enough, within an eight-hundred-mile radius, Li Qingshan found the others.

Just as Xia Wuji received his identity token, which was the same as Li Qingshan’s, with their name, Human World Universe, and one point written on it.

“Follow me. Let’s gather everyone first and then talk about other things,” Li Qingshan said decisively. He quickly led Xia Wuji to find the others.

He had a strong sense of danger about this place, and with his primordial spirit unable to spread out, Li Qingshan dared not be careless. This was not the Human World Universe, and he was not invincible here. Caution was necessary.

Xia Wuji dared not delay and followed behind Li Qingshan without saying a word.

Li Qingshan moved quickly, efficiently finding Immortal Northstar, Demon Frog, and Hua Yun, instructing them to take their identity tokens. He then swiftly led them to a cave, set up a formation to conceal their presence, and erased their tracks.

After doing all this, Li Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, still looking outside with a serious expression, feeling the lingering sense of danger.

“What’s wrong?” Hua Yun asked with concern.

“Is there any danger?” Xia Wuji asked.

Li Qingshan did not explain. Instead, he pointed outside. In the ancient battlefield area, several fearsome figures were scanning the area bit by bit.

“This shouldn’t be. There should be some rookies here. Each has one initial point. Killing them would be free points. Where did they go?” A tall figure landed near the cave where Li Qingshan and the others were hiding, speaking with confusion.

In the cave, everyone held their breath.

This tall figure was at the Realm Master level!

This was beyond Venerable, a level unattainable in the Human World Universe.

But now, such beings were here to ambush and kill newcomers to the Supreme Path.

Everyone shivered slightly in the cave, looking at Li Qingshan with gratitude.

Thankfully, Li Qingshan had quickly gathered them. Otherwise, they might have perished as soon as they entered the Supreme Path.

No one felt confident escaping from a Realm Master.

Li Qingshan remained silent, gesturing for everyone to stay calm and not speak.

Not only was Li Qingshan the number one expert of the Human World Universe, but he was also a master of formations.

With his control over the 3,000 Rules, he could set up a formation that could deceive a Realm Master.

Indeed, after a thorough search, the tall Realm Master found no clues and left, thinking Li Qingshan and the others had escaped. He chose a direction and hurried off in pursuit.

Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

“So this is the Supreme Path?” Xia Wuji exhaled deeply, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. They had just entered and already faced a life-and-death crisis.

“The Supreme Path is different from last time,” Hua Yun said softly.

“After millions of years, it’s bound to be different. We newcomers to the Supreme Path each have a jade token with one point. From what that Realm Master said, points are crucial and can be taken from others. So they wait here, specifically hunting us rookies. Although the points are few, it’s safe since we definitely can’t beat them,” Immortal Northstar calmly analyzed.

“Thankfully, we have Li Qingshan. Otherwise, we would have been in trouble,” Demon Frog said with lingering fear.

“The Supreme Path is harsh. It’s a good thing we didn’t let Little Nine and the others come,” Li Qingshan said calmly.

Any additional person would have made it impossible to hide.

“What do we do now?” Xia Wuji asked.

“Find a safe place, focus on cultivation, and adapt to this place. We come from the Human World Universe, and the energy here is incompatible with ours. We need to adjust our energy; otherwise, our primordial spirits are suppressed, making us like blind men,” Li Qingshan said calmly. They needed to adapt first before discussing anything else. At least they had passed the first test.

Li Qingshan’s cautious nature, or perhaps his reclusive tendencies, kicked in once again.
