Seeing Gu Biyue take out the Life Immortal Liquid, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Indeed, what ordinary Spirit Pills could Li Cheng have on him?

Every pill he dispensed was either King Grade, Emperor Grade, or an Immortal Elixir.

“Even mortals can be saved just by smelling the Life Immortal Liquid. It seems I need to acquire some more from the Five Elements Elf Tribe when I return to the Southern Domain,” Li Cheng muttered to himself.

“Gone?”

Li Cheng nodded, “The Life Divine Tree only yielded a hundred drops. With so many disciples, it was not enough to share. It’s all used up.”

Just as Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was about to say something, he saw Gu Biyue opening the jade bottle and slowly pouring its content into the mouth of the young arrest officer.

“Uh? Li Cheng, should we stop her? Although that child is from the Chaos Spirit Tribe, he has not yet cultivated and might not be able to withstand the Life Immortal Liquid entering his body. At most, he could only smell it,” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng shook his head, “If just a tiny bit of Life Immortal Liquid enters his body, he should be able to handle it, given that he is from the Chaos Spirit Tribe.”

“Moreover, since he hasn’t begun cultivating, he will not be refining it, and most of its power will dissipate.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan thought it over for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

However, in the next moment, both of them were stunned by Gu Bikong’s actions!

They saw her actually pour all of the Immortal Liquid from the jade bottle into the young arrest officer’s mouth, murmuring, “This is the Immortal Liquid bestowed by our Master, sufficient for cultivators to rejuvenate flesh from bones. It’s a pity there’s so little, but it should be enough for you!”

Seeing this, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was somewhat flabbergasted, “No wonder you didn’t take her as a True Disciple, how can your registered disciple be so foolish?”

Li Cheng gave a wry smile, “How can I blame her? I didn’t tell them about the wonderful uses of the Life Immortal Liquid, I only warned them to use it sparingly.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan glanced at Li Cheng speechlessly, “You really did a number on them. Coming from a humble background, you didn’t bother to properly explain such an important matter.”

Li Cheng pondered that the knowledge about the Cultivation World he had given them…indeed did not include the Life Immortal Liquid.

“Not right, that child took in ten drops of Life Immortal Liquid, but not a bit was wasted; he absorbed it all!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly exclaimed.

Both were closely observing with their Immortal Sense, and they saw that after the young arrest officer ingested the Life Immortal Liquid, a torrential life force surged through his body, yet not a trace leaked out!

“It’s the cloth’s issue, the cloth wrapped around his entire body has patterns similar to those found on the Ascend to Immortal Platform,” said Li Cheng. Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s pupils contracted, “Where did they find that? That’s a deity’s corpse-wrapping cloth!”

Li Cheng was taken aback and hastily looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “A deity’s corpse-wrapping cloth?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded firmly, “No mistake, that cloth has been nurtured by a deity’s corpse and is no longer a mundane object.”

“If it weren’t for the impact of the Life Immortal Liquid, we wouldn’t have discovered it and would have thought it a common item.”

“Observe closely, the Life Immortal Liquid entering the body is not without dissipation, but the cloth is absorbing the moment it disperses!”

Li Cheng also noticed, “Such an eerie corpse-wrapping cloth, capable of absorbing life force; could it have become an Artifact Spirit?”

“It’s not impossible, what I want to know most is where they found it!” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

If there was a deity’s corpse-wrapping cloth, then where was the deity’s corpse that had once been enshrouded by it?

Li Cheng nodded, “We’ll find out when we ask.”

The two didn’t hold out much hope for the deity’s corpse; after all, if there were a divine corpse in the world, it would have already been seized by others.

After all, no deities had been born for hundreds of millions of years; a divine corpse had become a stepping stone to reaching the God Realm.

From a divine corpse, many secrets could surely be unveiled.

Gu Bikong had already led the arrest officers away, and inside the ruined temple, the corpse-wrapping cloth, having absorbed the life force dissipating from within the young officer, was now unexpectedly returning the powerful life force, furiously infusing it back into the young officer’s body.

Under the overwhelming force of life energy, the young arrest officer’s recovery was miraculously fast, but the look in his eyes clearly showed he was in unbearable pain.

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were both examining the young arrest officer, only to see that his shattered bones were rapidly healing and the originally chaotic meridians in his body had now all become clear, each one as thick and powerful as a dragon.

Li Cheng was astonished, “Is this the advantage of the Innate Spirit Clan? All the meridians of the Chaos Clan are open, comparable to those of ordinary cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!”

With such meridians, cultivation must be as swift as the passing of a single day —how could anyone compare?

“More than that, the greatest strength of the Chaos Clan is their physical body, ‘one force breaks ten thousand laws’!” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

No sooner had he spoken than the Corpse-wrapping Cloth unraveling itself from the young arrest officer’s body, slithering away like a dragon, contracted into a cloth strip about a zhang long and disappeared in a flash!

“Hmm?”

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were simultaneously stunned, yet within the range of their Immortal Sense, they could no longer locate the whereabouts of the Corpse-wrapping Cloth!

“Senior, did you see where that Corpse-wrapping Cloth went?” Li Cheng asked suspiciously.

His Immortal Sense was powerful, yet he was unable to detect which direction the Corpse-wrapping Cloth had fled!

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s expression shifted slightly, “I didn’t notice, but I thought of a possibility, the Corpse-wrapping Cloth is being controlled by someone!”

The very possibility had caused his complexion to change, for if the Corpse­wrapping Cloth was being controlled, then the one controlling it might very well be the Divine Corpse!

Being able to control the Corpse-wrapping Cloth indicates that the deity is not entirely dead!

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, “Senior means to say, some deity controlled this divine Corpse-wrapping Cloth to rescue the boy? Could it be a deity of the Chaos Clan?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered for a long time before saying, “Do you know what the Tower of Chaos, mentioned by Blunt Empty Venerable, is all about?”

Li Cheng shook his head; he hadn’t inquired about it before.

“It’s crafted by deities; it’s said to be a Divine Artifact!” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan with certainty.

Since it was ‘said’ to be so, and yet he was so sure, it left Li Cheng quite puzzled —what had he thought of?

“I suspect that the Tower of Chaos has already birthed an Artifact Spirit, and that a Divine Corpse may be entombed within it, hence the Artifact Spirit controlled the Corpse-wrapping Cloth to come and save this scion of the Chaos Clan,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan continued.

Li Cheng searched with all his Immortal Sense’s might, “If what the senior says is true, then the Tower of Chaos shouldn’t be far from us.”

“Correct! Since the Tower of Chaos has taken an interest in the boy, using him as a clue will surely lead us to it!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan declared, looking at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng shrugged, “Since we are going to take him as a disciple anyway, let’s continue to watch!”

In the dilapidated temple, the young arrest officer looked at his own hands in disbelief, and then, raising his head slowly, he bowed to Gu Biyue, “Your humble servant Jiang Fan thanks the Upper Immortal for saving me!” “Upper Immortal?” Gu Biyue was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth with a light laugh, “I am just an ordinary cultivator, and I am about your age— where does this Upper Immortal come from?”

Jiang Fan was somewhat stunned and took a few seconds to recover, “I did not expect that at such a comparable age, the miss could casually bring people back from death’s door. Such a feat, I admire!”

“It’s my master who is formidable. But speaking of which, how did you get hurt like that? And with arrest officers coming after you, it doesn’t bode well,” Gu Biyue asked.

Jiang Fan subconsciously clenched his fists, “I’m an arrest officer from the Yamen of District Seventy-Three. Recently, many children have gone missing in our district. While investigating the matter, I didn’t expect to find that it was our arrest officer who was responsible.”

“He brought those children here and used their blood to practice Evil Skills. He has embarked on the path of cultivation, and I am no match for him…”

Without him continuing, Gu Biyue already understood the ins and outs of the matter; clearly, Jiang Fan had been turned into a scapegoat!

Those arrest officers were certainly here to apprehend him and bring him to justice.

“So many children went missing—why didn’t you seek cultivators to deal with this? Isn’t your Yamen managed by cultivators?”

Jiang Fan shook his head, “The affairs of mortals don’t concern cultivators; we can only rely on ourselves.”
