Young Master Xu, please board the palanquin,\" Yin Wuhen quickly replied with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't know Xu Zimo's exact relationship with the ancestor, since the ancestor had specifically asked them to look after him, he wouldn't dare show any disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo then got into the palanquin, which was swiftly carried by four Yakshas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the group followed around the palanquin as they headed toward the Elden Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area surrounding the Elden Lands hadn't changed much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness and dark-aligned plants still covered the land, and the entire world here was shrouded in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway along their route, the sounds of fighting suddenly rang out from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo lifted the curtain and looked out, seeing a group of dark creatures suddenly rushing out from the slopes on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dark creatures weren't very tall and looked somewhat like skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crawled on all fours, moved fast, and were very agile. Their entire bodies were pitch-black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick dark aura radiated from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the skeletons arrived, Yin Wuhen frowned slightly. After all, he had just broken through to the God Meridian Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual wave, he summoned a massive palm that slammed down, destroying all the skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were many of them, coming one after another, their cultivation was simply too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t even withstand a single attack from Yin Wuhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the palanquin passed by, a trail of corpses was left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\" Xu Zimo asked, looking at Yin Wuhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don’t mind it, Young Master Xu,\" Yin Wuhen replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Elden Lands erupt a few times each year, and the undead inside become very aggressive. It’ll pass soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An outbreak in the Elden Lands? Seems like even your Divine Gate can’t find peace,\" Xu Zimo laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You get used to it. Worst case, we go into seclusion again,\" Yin Wuhen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of the Ten Forbidden Grounds are simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the palanquin entered the Divine Gate. Yin Wuhen arranged for someone to look after Ye Feiyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo went alone to meet the God Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through layers of concealed formations, Xu Zimo finally arrived at the palace where the God Emperor resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the God Emperor seemed to have fully embraced a reclusive lifestyle. Without the Heaven’s Will, he couldn’t continue advancing his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he spent his time fishing and gardening, living a leisurely life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look pretty relaxed,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve realized something,\" the God Emperor smiled and replied, \"Without the Heaven's Will, I’ve found peace here, and my state of mind has improved quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’m disturbing your peace,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, not at all. Have you found a clue?\" the God Emperor asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the records in our clan, the Blood Race should be in the Nether Blood Sea,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Nether Blood Sea? One of the Ten Forbidden Grounds?\" the God Emperor frowned and thought for a moment. \"That makes things troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These forbidden places were all extremely dangerous. When he was still at his peak, he didn’t fear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with his current strength, entering any of the Ten Forbidden Grounds would almost certainly mean death, which is why he was so troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Blood Race can survive there, then there must be a way in. We'll take it one step at a time,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Nether Blood Sea is so vast. How do we even find the Blood Race?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Emperor added, \"Not to mention how dangerous it is in there. Even I wouldn’t be confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're lucky. I recently captured a member of the Blood Race. Maybe he can help,\" Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" The God Emperor's eyes lit up. He laughed, \"Why didn’t you say so earlier? I was already prepared to never come back from the Nether Blood Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is being a Grand Emperor really that important to you?\" Xu Zimo asked. \"Even without the Heaven's Will, you could still reach immortality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s different. With the Heaven's Will, I could journey to the Outer Heavens once more,\" the God Emperor said seriously. \"I've never forgotten the hatred of losing the Heaven's Will all those years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were just too reckless back then,\" Xu Zimo said with a smile and a shake of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for a while, Xu Zimo decided to rest for the night and head to the Nether Blood Sea the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, the Nether Blood Sea wasn’t located on the Eastern Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the Eastern and Southern Continents lies the Endless Sky Sea, which actually surrounds the Middle Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Continents are positioned around the Middle Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Blood Sea lies within this Endless Sky Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many legends about the Nether Blood Sea, but no one really knows its origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that back in the Legendary Era, people feared the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Endless Sky Sea, which stretched endlessly to the horizon, few dared approach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, as people began exploring the ocean, they discovered the Nether Blood Sea in a certain part of the Endless Sky Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that no one who entered the Nether Blood Sea ever returned alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, it was listed as one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds, ten of the most terrifying places on the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as people's cultivation levels rose, these forbidden places became less dangerous to the Grand Emperors and those at the peak of martial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Divine Gate rarely saw sunlight and had no concept of day and night, the people here still had a strong sense of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around evening, Xu Zimo didn’t go to rest but continued studying Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he suddenly heard explosions outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of his room, Xu Zimo saw various spiritual energies clashing in the distant sky, turning the black heavens into a swirl of colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the battle sounds, strange roars could faintly be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo casually stopped a disciple of the Divine Gate and asked, \"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monsters from the Elden Lands are attacking our Guardian Formation,\" the disciple quickly explained. \"They’ve been acting crazy lately, attacking almost every day. Previous outbreaks were never this serious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the disciple rush off to help, Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the Divine Gate could handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to his room and slept peacefully through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, when Xu Zimo woke up, the fighting had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the atmosphere within the Divine Gate was very tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Emperor had disguised himself, looking like a completely different person, and came early to find Xu Zimo so they could head to the Nether Blood Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they left, Yin Wuhen gave them a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, the situation outside the Elden Lands is currently unstable. The route we previously cleared is no longer safe. Why don’t you wait until the chaos dies down before leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I want to see what kind of monsters are causing trouble out there,\" the God Emperor replied with a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","332d5468c2d75f871df28c7cd897d5c2e7a6810205f30c8e1b27d7adb9fed2e9","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-525","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-523",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
