The seemingly ordinary statue had actually stirred the heart of the Evil Master of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave!

And with that, the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had affirmed the Evil Master’s identity, how could Li Cheng not be curious?

Narrowing his eyes, the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, “Don’t ask so much, just secretly follow them after they leave Tianyuan City, and then you will know.”

Li Cheng pondered, these two Golden Immortals were sent to find this sculpture, and now that they had found it, they would surely go to report back to the Evil Master!

In that case, he might as well take Ling Xi with him!

The Evil Master was a gift left to Ling Xi by Grand Venerable Bai Jie, and Li

Cheng was curious to see what would happen next.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng nodded slightly, “Senior, there is a person inside that sculpture, isn’t there?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked at Li Cheng with some astonishment,

“How can you tell?”

Li Cheng shrugged, “By leveraging the Life Law, I can sense a faint sign of life inside.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan understood and nodded, “That’s right, this is the consequence of using the Immortal Rampart Technique.

“The Immortal Rampart Technique turns one’s entire body to stone, impregnable, but it cannot be undone by oneself ; it requires another cultivator with significant cultivation to release it. You understand now, right?”

The moment he heard it, Li Cheng understood. This was a sort of life-saving technique, used at a critical moment to prevent the enemy from being able to harm one.

However, the consequences were grave, as without the help of a sufficiently powerful being, one might remain a statue forever, unable to awaken.

“This person, could it be someone you forced to use the Immortal Rampart Technique?” Li Cheng further inquired.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “One could say that. Back then, eighteen Immortal Emperors of the same realm conspired against me, and I killed twelve of them, while the remaining six, five self-destructed their Immortal Infants to die together with me, and one used the Immortal Rampart Technique to end up like this.”

He spoke as if it was nothing, but Li Cheng was left agape at his words—the self-destruction of five Immortal Emperors must have been devastating enough to destroy heavens and earth.

“Senior, what did you do to provoke so many Immortal Emperors into acting against you?” Li Cheng asked again.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan gave Li Cheng an irritated look, “What do you think?”

“Because of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?” Li Cheng ventured.

Without speaking, the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan gave his tacit agreement.

The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was too powerful, and even though it was incomplete, it still made the cultivators of the Immortal World tremble with fear and desire.

That’s why so many Immortal Emperors joined forces, attempting to slay the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and seize the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!

They simply underestimated the strength of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Even with their combined forces, they were no match for him within the same realm!

As one by one the Immortal Emperors were slain by the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, they knew that they could not escape death, so they chose self­destruction instead.

Five Immortal Emperors detonated themselves, successfully taking the

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan down with them.

“Senior, your skull is still in my hands, what about the rest of your parts? We should find them and bury them for peace,” Li Cheng said.

The corner of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s mouth twitched, “We cultivators need not be overly concerned about the physical body, after all, even if the body is destroyed, as long as the Immortal Infant remains intact, the body can be reshaped. Since my Immortal Infant is gone, there’s no need to bury me.”

“I will heed senior’s advice.”

After a pause, Li Cheng continued, “Senior, if that’s the case, perhaps I shouldn’t pass on the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to the few disciples? Or it seems that they shouldn’t be allowed to ascend!”

“Why shouldn’t such a powerful cultivation technique be passed on? If you’re worried that they will be slain by the strong ones in the Immortal World after ascending, then there’s no need to worry about that!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan finished speaking and did not continue.

Li Cheng could only ask, “Why is that? Almost every cultivator would covet the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, right? There can’t be many who can resist attacking over it.”

He had heard from Feng Wanli before that revealing possession of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture would result in an endless chase for one s life.

“This is the top-ranked among the ten great mysterious books; who wouldn’t want it?”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “There’s a very mysterious force in the Immortal World that secretly protects those who cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Otherwise, do you think I could have lived to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm?”

“However, once someone steps into the Immortal Emperor Realm, they no longer care.”

Li Cheng grew even more curious, “What’s the origin of that mysterious force?”

“I can’t say. When you encounter it, you can ask for yourself,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said mysteriously.

Well, at least I can rest easy now!

“Those two will eventually leave the city, get ready!” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said, then his figure disappeared, returning to the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.

Li Cheng focused his gaze; the two Golden Immortals, one holding a statue and the other looking around vigilantly at his side, were seeking opportunities within the city.

The walls of Tian Yuan City were square and each side was a hundred miles long. Naturally, it was immense, and impossible to explore completely in a short time.

Fortunately, those two seemed not to want to complicate matters. After scouting for a day, they gave up and headed for the eastern city gate.

Li Cheng sent a message to his four disciples, then took Ling Xi with him, employing the Immortal Spirit Step as they hurried towards the Devil Abyss.

After waiting for two days at the Devil Abyss, the two Golden Immortals finally arrived!

They headed straight for the second layer of the Devil Abyss, completely unaware that Li Cheng and Ling Xi were following behind them.

“Master, I can sense the presence my father left behind!”

As soon as they entered the second layer, Ling Xi exclaimed excitedly.

“Then it must be the Underworld Dungeon. The Underworld Dungeon was left by the ancestors of the Five Elements Elf Tribe. Grand Venerable Bai Jie made use of it. Where is it?”

The Underworld Dungeon was always moving, and even the people from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave had difficulty finding it. Now, with Ling Xi to guide the way, it was much easier. They could head there first and let Ling Xi try before the powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave arrived.

Following Ling Xi’s guidance, Li Cheng took six steps and, with his Immortal Sense, indeed detected the Underworld Dungeon.

Taking Ling Xi with him, Li Cheng landed on the Underworld Dungeon and said, “Did Grand Venerable leave any methods behind?”

Ling Xi nodded, “My father told me…”

“Grand Venerable? Father? Are you a descendant of Li Baijie?”

“Everyone thought that Li Baijie’s descendant was a son. Who would have thought it was a daughter?”

Just then, the voice of the Evil Master came from inside the Underworld Dungeon.

“There’s a lot you didn’t expect!” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan appeared, his gaze fixed intently on the Underworld Dungeon.

“Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan?” The voice of the Evil Master came with a tinge of surprise.

“Stop pretending, Yan Wuxiang. I know your Immortal Sense can reach a hundred miles out of the dungeon. Show yourself!” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan scoffed.

“Haha, very well, even as a Remnant Soul you’re still so arrogant? I’d like to see what you, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, can do to me!” The Evil Master laughed. A phantom figure emerged a few yards away, condensed from Immortal Sense.

“What of it if it’s just a Remnant Soul? It’s still freer than a shameless thing like you.” immortal Emperor Tian Yuan looked Yan Wuxiang up and down with disdain.

Yan Wuxiang frowned and then regained his composure, “A grand Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, now at someone else’s mercy, still talking about freedom?”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan took a step forward, “Think whatever you like, Yan Wuxiang. I left behind that statue of the Immortal Rampart Technique exactly to find out who’s pulling the strings. I’ve been good to you, never expected it to be you!”

“So what if it’s me? What can you do?” Yan Wuxiang’s face showed a mocking smile, then said, “Don’t forget you’re just a Remnant Soul, while I am about to break free!”
