Chapter 40

"Tiger, tiger, tiger..."

As if an eerie sound rang out, like war drums beating, like soldiers wailing, the heavy Yin soldiers and Yin generals scattered, and a humanoid creature actually walked out from among them. He actually had flesh and blood!

That was a demon general in black gold armor, with a wolf head, walking slowly, emitting a heavy aura of death, I don't know how many times stronger than those Yin soldiers.

He slowly raised his head, his head rotating three hundred and sixty degrees, and after circling for a week, he actually stared straight at the three people not far away. Yin fire seemed to be burning in his pupils, and there seemed to be wisdom.

"Mother!"

Lin Xian, Ye Fan, and Duan De all shouted, startled, almost running away.

However, the next second, the three stopped their steps because that wolf-headed Yin god did not launch an attack, had no malice, and just seemed to be confirming their identities.

After seeing Lin Xian, the wolf-headed Yin god knelt down slowly and placed a jade pendant with a green lotus pattern on the edge of the water pool respectfully.

"What is the situation? Is the Green Emperor awake, or not awake?"

"Could it be half-awake?"

Lin Xian hesitated for a while, not daring to step forward for a long time. The wolf-headed Yin god was expressionless, bringing the Yin soldiers and Yin generals and sinking down again.

"Eh, there’s a treasure!"

Just as the three were still in shock, suddenly an unusual sound rang out. A young man with the mark of the Yaoguang Holy Land embroidered on his sleeve walked here, glanced at the three, and stared greedily at the green lotus jade pendant on the edge of the water pool.

"I am a disciple of Yaoguang. My teacher has an order to tell you three to leave quickly." The young man was incredibly arrogant, seeming to have a natural sense of superiority.

"Yaoguang disciple?"

Lin Xian sneered: "Is that very amazing? I am the Heavenly Pivot Holy Lord."

"Bold!" The Yaoguang Holy Land disciple was furious, scolding: "The Seven Saints of Beidou are of one branch. Even if the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land has perished, it is not something that you loose cultivators can insult!"

"Hurry over and kowtow to apologize, and I can spare your lives."

"Apologize?" Lin Xian clicked his tongue and shook his head: "My grandson, you don't kowtow when you see the Holy Lord? You should be the one apologizing!"

"How can such a rude person be a Yaoguang disciple." Duan De said coldly: "Ignorant thing, pulling the tiger’s skin to make a banner. Daoist hates scum like you the most, actually impersonating a Yaoguang Holy Land disciple. Fellow Daoist Lin, let’s go together and finish him!"

Two divine rainbows pressed down, Lin Xian and Duan De captured the Yaoguang disciple from left and right.

"Two seniors, spare my life!" The young man showed fear, begging: "I really am a Yaoguang disciple..."

As soon as these words came out, it intensified Duan De’s murderous intent, and he was about to strike a heavy blow.

"Wait, I have a few questions to ask him." Lin Xian raised his hand to stop him, and then asked: "You said the Seven Saints of Beidou are of one branch—what’s going on?"

That young disciple first showed a look of confusion, and then under Lin Xian’s cold gaze, hurriedly begged: "Senior, if I say it, you can spare my life, right."

"I won't kill you." Lin Xian said indifferently.

The Yaoguang young disciple breathed a sigh of relief, and then poured out everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

The ancestors of the seven holy lands—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang—originated from an ancient land and had deep friendships, having sworn brotherhood back then and gone to the Emperor Road together. Unfortunately, no one became an Emperor later.

But the seven were profound in cultivation, and some even infinitely approached the realm of the Great Emperor, so they opened up lineages on the Burial Emperor Star, waiting for the path to immortality and watching over each other.

As time passed, the ancestors passed away, and several holy lands perished one after another, leaving only Tian Xuan and Yao Guang.

"This senior brother, I’m afraid you are a disciple left over from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land." The Yaoguang young disciple smiled: "Our two families have always had a good relationship. It is said that six thousand years ago, our Yaoguang Holy Land even lent the Emperor Weapon to your Heavenly Pivot for use."

"What? Six thousand years ago, the one who lent the Emperor Weapon to the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land was the Yaoguang Holy Land!" Lin Xian’s pupils shrank suddenly. The original clear truth became more and more confusing at this moment.

Six thousand years ago, the most brilliant Heavenly Pivot Holy Land in Beidou built a Heaven-Connecting Array, held an Emperor Weapon, and killed their way in, hoping to break into the Immortal Gate instantly and ascend at the correct time.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.

There are two paths to immortality in the current world, one on the Beidou Burial Emperor Star, which only allows the current Great Emperor to pass, and the other on the Flying Immortal Star, which only allows creatures below the Great Emperor to pass.

The hope of the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land was on the Flying Immortal Star six thousand years later, but they broke into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land six thousand years ago.

The Immortal Gate did not open. After the prosperous Heavenly Pivot broke in, the Heaven-Connecting Array collapsed. They could not retreat in the first time, and having an Emperor Weapon in hand could not protect their safety.

The power in the Desolate Ancient Abyss destroyed this lineage completely, leaving only a few people to escape dying.

Initially, Lin Xian thought it was a supreme being using the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land as a pawn to test the reaction of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone and lay out the path to immortality in advance.

Now it seems that it is not just that.

The Heavenly Pivot Holy Land miscalculated the time and the location, eventually leading to its own destruction.

A seemingly reckless decision, but if you push it carefully, there are many doubts.

Could it be... behind all this, it was not a supreme being’s layout, but seemed to be led by the Ruthless Emperor’s lineage.

This might explain why the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land had the courage to rush into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land with an Emperor Weapon. The holy land was crazy, but the Emperor Weapon’s god wasn't crazy.

If it were really the Ruthless Emperor who made a move, the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land should have been completely wiped out. How could a few people have escaped by luck?

Those who didn't escape, like the Heavenly Pivot Saintess turning into a Desolate Slave, were not truly dead.

That is a method of longevity, being with the Desolate Lord, existing forever, and one day, can march into the Immortal Domain with the Ruthless Emperor.

Such an opportunity, if known by the Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors in their twilight years, they wouldn't be able to exchange for it even if they broke their heads.

"Is the truth really like this?"

Lin Xian pondered a lot, not intending to get more useful news from this Yaoguang disciple, because his realm was too low. Even if he were a true disciple of the holy land, his status was only a scout, and it was impossible to know too many secrets.

Thus, Lin Xian released the Yaoguang disciple.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, a flash of hatred in his eyes, preparing to run away.

In Ye Fan’s 'as expected' expression, Duan De made a decisive move and shot the young man to death.

Lin Xian doesn't kill, but that doesn't mean Duan De doesn't kill.

"Let’s go." Lin Xian picked up the green lotus jade pendant on the ground and urged: "The Yaoguang disciple can find this place, so those big figures are not far from here."

The two realized, hurriedly running toward the small woods ahead.

Sure enough, not long after the three left, the entire primitive ruins were shrouded in blood light. Here it became desolate and eerie, extremely terrifying.

At this moment, everyone had a feeling of palpitations. Under the cold pool, there seemed to be a heaven-shaking change happening!

The Yang Grave just now was just a small fight, it was the Green Emperor wanting to send things to his descendants, a real game, and Great Powers could also participate.

The Yin Grave now is full of murderous intent, and even a Quasi-Emperor would die if they went in!
