Chapter 54: 【Holy Master Lin Xian, Mist of the Immortal Path】

"Hu hu hu..."

As if a strange sound rang out, like war drums beating, like soldiers wailing, the layers of Yin soldiers and Yin generals scattered, and a humanoid creature actually walked out from among them! It actually had flesh and blood!

It was a Demon General in black gold battle armor, born with a wolf head, walking up slowly, emitting a heavy aura of death, many times stronger than those Yin soldiers.

It slowly raised its head, its skull rotating three hundred and sixty degrees. After circling around, it actually stared straight at the three people not far away. Yin fire seemed to be burning in its pupils, and it seemed to have intelligence.

"Mother!"

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

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

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

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

"Could it be half-awake and half-asleep?"

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 down again.

"Eh, there's treasure!"

Just as the three were still in shock, suddenly an unusual sound rang out. A young man whose sleeve was embroidered with the mark of the Yaoguang Holy Land walked here. After glancing at the three, his eyes looked greedily at the green lotus jade pendant by the water pool.

"I am a disciple of Yaoguang. My master has ordered you three to leave immediately." The young man was extremely arrogant, seemingly having a natural sense of superiority.

"Yaoguang disciple?"

Lin Xian sneered: "Is that very impressive? I am the Holy Master of Heavenly Pivot."

"Bold!" The Yaoguang Holy Land disciple was furious and scolded: "The Seven Holy Lands of the Big Dipper are of one breath and one branch. Even if the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land has been destroyed, it is not something you independent 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 haven't kowtowed even after seeing the Holy Master? You are the one who should apologize!"

"How could such a rude person be a Yaoguang disciple?" Duan De said coldly: "Ignorant things, pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner. I, the Daoist, hate scum like you the most. You actually impersonate a disciple of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Daoist brother Lin, let's go together and finish him!"

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

"Two seniors, spare my life!" The young man showed fear and begged for mercy: "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, then asked: "You said the Seven Holy Lands of the Big Dipper are of one breath and one branch—what is that about?"

That young disciple first showed a look of confusion, then, under Lin Xian's cold gaze, hurriedly begged for mercy: "Senior, if I tell you, you can spare my life, right?"

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

The Yaoguang youth breathed a sigh of relief, then spilled everything he knew like bamboo shoots from a tube.

Heavenly Pivot, Heavenly Pivot, Heavenly Machine, Heavenly Power, Jade Balance, Opening Yang, Yaoguang—the ancestors of these seven Holy Lands originated from an ancient land and had deep friendships. They once swore brotherhood and went to the Emperor Path together, but unfortunately, no one achieved the Emperor status later.

However, the seven were of profound cultivation, and some were infinitely close to the realm of the Great Emperor, so they founded traditions on the Burial Emperor Star, waiting for the Immortal Path and looking out for each other.

As time passed, the ancestors passed away, and several Holy Lands fell one after another. Only Heavenly Pivot and Yaoguang remained.

"This senior brother, you are probably a disciple remaining from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land," the Yaoguang youth said with a flattering smile: "Our two families have always had a good relationship. It is said that six thousand years ago, our Yaoguang Holy Land even lent our Emperor weapon to you 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 instantly. The truth, which was originally clear, became even more confusing at this moment.

Six thousand years ago, the most glorious Heavenly Pivot Holy Land in the Big Dipper constructed a Heaven-Reaching Great Array and killed their way in with an Emperor weapon, hoping to break into the Immortal Gate at the correct time and fly to immortality.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.

There are two Immortal Paths in the current world: one on the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star, which only allows the Great Emperor of the current world to pass, and the other on the Flying Immortal Star, which only allows beings 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-Reaching Great Array shattered. They could not retreat in the first time, and even with an Emperor weapon in hand, it could not protect their safety.

The power in the Desolate Ancient Abyss wiped out their lineage completely, leaving only a few people to escape while dying.

Initially, Lin Xian thought it was a Supreme using the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land as a pawn to test the reaction of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone and lay out plans for the Path to Immortality in advance.

Now it seems, it's more than that.

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

A seemingly reckless decision, but when scrutinized carefully, there are many doubts.

Could it be... behind all this, it wasn't a Supreme's layout, but seemingly 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 Zone with an Emperor weapon—the Holy Land was crazy, but the Emperor weapon's spirit wasn't crazy.

If it were truly 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 Holy Maiden who turned into a Desolate Slave, were not truly dead.

That is a method of longevity, existing with the Desolate Lord, living forever with the world. One day, they can march into the Immortal Domain with the Ruthless Emperor.

Such an opportunity, if known by a Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor in their twilight years, they wouldn't be able to get it even if they broke their heads.

"Is the truth really like this?"

Lin Xian pondered a thousand thoughts. He didn't intend to get more useful information from this Yaoguang disciple, because his realm was too low. Even if he were truly a disciple of the Holy Land, his status was only a scout, and it was impossible for him 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, and was about to run away.

In Ye Fan's "as expected" expression, Duan De decisively took action and slapped the young man to death.

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

"Hurry." Lin Xian picked up the green lotus jade pendant on the ground and urged: "The Yaoguang disciple could find this place; those great figures are not far from here either."

The two suddenly realized and hurriedly ran toward the small woods in front.

Sure enough, not long after the three left, the entire primitive ruin was shrouded in blood light. This place became desolate and eerie, extremely terrifying.

At this moment, everyone had a feeling of palpitation. Under the cold pool, it seemed that a heaven-shaking change was happening!

The Yang tomb just now was just a small scuffle, a house-playing game that the Azure Emperor wanted to give to his descendants, where Great Experts could also participate.

The current Yin tomb is full of murderous intent; even a Quasi-Emperor would die if they went in! ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
