The Longbrow True Man’s shout interrupted Ye Qiu’s conversation with Old Nine. Ye Qiu turned his head and saw the Longbrow True Man standing in front of a stone wall.
The stone wall was completely bare, with nothing on it at all.
Ye Qiu ignored the Longbrow True Man and asked Old Nine again, “I once saw Dugu Wudi in the mortal world. He was only a Saint, so how could he appear in the mortal world?”
Old Nine replied, “I do not know about that. But when you meet Dugu Wudi again in the future, you can ask him yourself.”
“I guess it is either because he mastered some secret technique, or he possesses some special treasure.”
“Kid, actually there is another way for you to return to the mortal world.”
Ye Qiu quickly asked, “What way?”
“Help me gather the rest of my physical body,” Old Nine said. “As long as my body is complete, I can take you to the mortal world.”
Ye Qiu was speechless.
He had been in the cultivation world for so long and had not seen any trace of Old Nine’s other body parts. Who knew where they were?
“Finding the rest of your body is probably harder than me proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor,” Ye Qiu said irritably.
“Do not lose heart. As long as you get close to my remains, I will sense it myself,” Old Nine continued. “Let me tell you a more reliable method.”
“As long as you obtain the remaining half of the human race’s destiny, with a single thought you can return to the mortal world.”
“Because the mortal world also belongs to the human race.”
“Moreover, even while you are in the cultivation world, you can perceive everything happening in the mortal world.”
“You can also travel freely between the cultivation world and the mortal world at any time.”
It seemed he really had to make a trip to Central Continent!
Ye Qiu said, “The Demon Emperor said that the remaining half of the human race’s destiny is in Central Continent. Once we get out of the Dragon Burial Nest, I will head straight to Central Continent.”
Old Nine asked, “Kid, there are still several Saints outside the Dragon Burial Nest. Have you thought about how you will escape then?”
Ye Qiu countered, “From the way you are talking, do you have a way to help me escape?”
“No,” Old Nine said. “I am just asking.”
Ye Qiu: “…”
“Alright, I have talked to you enough. I am tired now. I am going back to sleep.” As Old Nine’s voice faded, the vermilion blood coffin shook twice with a clang.
Ye Qiu was about to withdraw his divine sense when he suddenly noticed that the medicine sable and the young qilin were both motionless.
“They fainted?”
As their master, Ye Qiu instantly sensed their condition. With a thought, the young qilin and the medicine sable abruptly woke up.
“You were fine just a moment ago. How did you two faint?” Ye Qiu asked.
The young qilin and the medicine sable both looked towards the Qiankun Cauldron at the same time. Inside that Qiankun Cauldron was the suppressed mysterious egg.
Ye Qiu noticed that the young qilin and the medicine sable looked terrified. They stared at the Qiankun Cauldron with their fur standing on end.
Moreover, they were trembling all over.
Ye Qiu immediately understood.
“Was it the egg that scared you into fainting just now?” Ye Qiu asked.
The young qilin and the medicine sable nodded vigorously.
“Is it really that bad? Just an egg scared you unconscious?” Ye Qiu found it unbelievable.
The young qilin and the medicine sable looked aggrieved. They glanced at the Qiankun Cauldron and retreated backwards.
Damn, that egg was too terrifying.
“Do not be afraid. If it dares to scare you again next time, I will beat it up,” Ye Qiu said. Hearing this, the fear in the eyes of the young qilin and the medicine sable finally lessened a little.
Then they made sounds towards Ye Qiu, as though saying that this place was too dangerous and they wanted to get out.
“The place I am in right now is quite dangerous. If I let you out, you will also be in danger, so you had better stay here.”
“Do not worry. That egg has been suppressed by the Qiankun Cauldron. It cannot get out.”
“If you are hungry, go find something to eat yourselves.”
“There are spirit herbs and spirit pills here. Eat as much as you want. Do not hold back…”
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed someone pulling him. His divine sense immediately withdrew. He saw the Longbrow True Man tugging at his arm beside him.
“What are you doing?”
Ye Qiu shook off the Longbrow True Man’s hand and asked.
“Little brat, what were you doing?” the Longbrow True Man said. “This poor Daoist called you over earlier, but you did not react at all. Were you scared silly by that purple-robed figure?”
The Longbrow True Man had no idea about Ye Qiu’s conversation with Old Nine, nor his communication with the young qilin and the medicine sable.
“What did you discover?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Come with me.” After saying this, the Longbrow True Man led Ye Qiu to a stone wall in the canyon, then pointed at the wall and said, “Little brat, look.”
Ye Qiu looked up and saw nothing on the stone wall.
“What exactly are you playing at?” Ye Qiu asked impatiently.
“Look again,” the Longbrow True Man said mysteriously. At the same time, a trace of smugness appeared between his brows as he thought to himself, “Little brat, you are so clever, yet you did not notice it. This proves that this poor Daoist is better than you.”
Ye Qiu looked at the stone wall again and still saw nothing. Then he activated his heavenly eye.
In the next second, something appeared in his vision.
He saw that the stone wall was filled with densely packed light points, arranged in a chaotic and disorderly manner.
“A formation?” Ye Qiu immediately recognised it.
“Damn, you actually noticed,” the Longbrow True Man said. “That’s right, there is a formation on this stone wall.”
“And it is a sealing formation.”
“I guess there is something behind the stone wall. Perhaps it is the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance.”
Ye Qiu asked, “Can you open it?”
“This formation is not simple. It is arranged in an extremely complex way. Breaking it will be very difficult, but…” The Longbrow True Man changed his tone and chuckled. “Who told you this poor Daoist is a genius? I only observed it for a moment and already found the method to break the formation.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Break it!” After saying this, Ye Qiu turned around, opened his Qiankun bag, and stored the massive dragon skeleton inside.
Although the Dragon Emperor’s treasured bone was thousands of zhang long, the Qiankun bag was boundless. The enormous dragon bone inside it was like a single speck of dust in the desert.
“Goodness, the Qiankun bag that my master gave me is truly an extraordinary treasure.”
“I never thought it could hold so many things and still not be full.”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu suddenly recalled something else.
“That is not right. When my master left the mortal world back then, he was only at the peak of the King realm. How could he possess a treasure like the Qiankun bag?”
“Treasures like the Qiankun bag are probably not even owned by elders of top-tier forces.”
“Where did my master get it from?”
“Or could it be that my master’s cultivation far exceeded my imagination?”
For a moment, the Purple Sun Heavenly Venerable became even more mysterious in Ye Qiu’s heart.
“I have been in the cultivation world for so long and have not heard any news about my master. I do not even know where he went.”
Ye Qiu glanced at the massive Dragon Emperor’s treasured bone.
“I forgot to ask the God Race Lord earlier. He killed the Dragon Emperor, so where did the Dragon Emperor’s head go?”
