Eternal Tale

Upon hearing this, Yao Yue’s face suddenly lit up with a radiant and enchanting smile.

Only killing truly piqued her interest; cultivation was merely a means to kill more people, and if they were prodigies, all the better.

If one day she could stand on equal footing with Crossing the World and then slay him, wearing his clothes afterward, that would be perfect...

Thinking of this, Yao Yue’s eyes became misty, and a blush appeared on her face. She really wanted... really wanted to kill Crossing the World.

This was also the promise Chen Xun had given her. Just because it wasn’t possible now didn’t mean it wouldn’t be in the future. Unity, Great Ascension—could she remain this strong forever? Those realms were not just about physical strength.

Yao Yue was quite excited after hearing this. To dare to keep someone who wanted to kill you by your side—such a man was truly captivating, even if it meant perishing together.

Suddenly, a gaze as cold as a venomous snake’s came her way. Yao Yue, still lost in her fantasies, felt a flash of anger as this gaze pulled her back to reality.

It was Ji Yan, who turned his head and softly said, ”Fellow Daoist Yao Yue, be mindful of your path; this place is not like the Immortal Prison.”

”Hehe, Fellow Daoist Ji is right.” Yao Yue’s angry expression suddenly blossomed into a smile.

Ji Yan nodded and smiled, then turned back, his smile instantly vanishing into a calm demeanor.However, a murderous intent had already taken root in his heart, but she still had some use, so he would let her live a bit longer.

Killing her would be too easy; he could even use the rules to kill her without lifting a finger.

Qian Shan glanced at Ji Yan from the corner of his eye, a hint of wariness flashing in his gaze.

Ji Yan was too calm after leaving the prison. He wasn’t afraid of the madman in the Immortal Prison but feared this calm and rational madman now. No one knew what he was thinking.

The group continued towards Chengfeng Villa, moving further along the wide road.

……

At the Immaculate Immortal Ridge, the mountains stretched endlessly, filled with boundless spiritual qi, vast beyond sight.

In one part of the mountains, there was a stream beside a large tombstone inscribed with the name Gu Lisheng!

A chubby Daoist, his face full of sorrow, held a Treasure-Seeking Compass in his right hand and a stick of incense in his left, crying out, ”Brother Lisheng, may your journey~~ be smooth~~~”

The mournful voice echoed through the mountains, accompanied by ghostly wails, sending chills down one’s spine!

Song Heng muttered incantations, and lines of black energy slowly emanated from the tomb.

But this was entirely different from death energy; it was tomb energy, not even close.

At this moment, the tomb was filled with yin energy, with filthy talismans pasted everywhere to suppress the tomb energy!

A figure, eyes wide with rage, was filled with fury. He had been ambushed!!!

”Fat Song, I will remember this grudge forever!!”

Gu Lisheng let out a furious shriek, his hair flying wildly, unable to move under the suppression.

He had just entered the Divine Transformation phase, and at the moment of his breakthrough, a mass of fat charged at him, releasing a noxious gas that knocked him out cold!

When he awoke, he found himself here, realizing they had prepared a tomb for him. After hundreds of years of vigilance, he had finally shown a flaw at the moment of breakthrough.

”Hahaha...” Song Heng laughed heartily, his cultivation now completely suppressing him, ”I, Master Dao, am a late-stage Transformation cultivator. Brother Lisheng, what do you have to contend with me?!”

”Ah!! Fatty, don’t let me out!!”

Inside the tomb, Gu Lisheng was furious, feeling his clothes slowly being corroded. He shouted in alarm, ”Fatty, my clothes are gone! My clothes!!!”

”Call me Master Dao, and I’ll spare you. With the tomb’s demonic energy upon you, how will you escape?”

Song Heng’s small eyes narrowed to slits, his belly protruding, speaking with exaggerated flair, ”If I light three more sticks of soul-burning incense, you’ll sleep with the tomb forever~~ If someone forcibly digs you out, you’ll become a vengeful ghost~”

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream that nearly pierced the sky came from the tomb: ”Master Dao!!!”

”Hahaha...”

Song Heng laughed, shaking the surrounding flowers and grass, ”As expected of my brother Lisheng, I’ll spare you today.”

After speaking, the laughter in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

These words were naturally meant to scare him. What he did today was to forcibly find out where Gu Lisheng’s two souls and seven spirits were.

However, the tomb’s demonic energy seemed ineffective, unable to penetrate Gu Lisheng’s divine soul, only able to corrode his clothes.

Though this plan failed, another major goal was achieved: trapping him in the tomb.

Who told him that his true self had once scared him so badly that Sky Dragon and Earth Tiger nearly blasted him out of the entire Mengmu Sea Region with a shout?

Today, his mind finally cleared. He pointed forward with two fingers, and the tombstone shattered instantly. He swiftly kicked it away.

Boom!

The tombstone turned to dust, scattering into the distance, and he felt a rush of satisfaction!

No matter how he looked at Gu Lisheng, he found him displeasing, even less pleasing than that Rengar.

However, Rengar’s cultivation was clearly progressing slowly. In the future, when he was in control, he would destroy all those Image Stones!

Though this seemed trivial, in countless years, when Song Heng’s name spread far and wide, those Image Stones would surely make him a laughingstock of the grand world!

But Rengar had been too quiet these years, and knowing its inner pain, he had pointed fingers at it with Gu Lisheng in secret, deciding not to provoke it for now.

”Hehe, the factory owner is finally out of prison, and today I’ll suppress this kid harshly, a double celebration...”

Just as Song Heng was feeling smug, a massive claw suddenly appeared in the sky!

The claw shimmered with fiery light, gathering the world’s energy madly, flames spreading in all directions, its power immense!

Song Heng’s eyes widened, his words cut off, his divine sense and internal mana completely suppressed, ambushed by Void Refinement Rengar!!

”Rengar! Ah!!!”

Boom!

The earth shook with a thunderous sound, the massive claw unstoppable, slamming down on Song Heng, dust and leaves flying everywhere, birds taking flight, the commotion immense.

Song Heng’s eyes shifted between dazed and unfocused, his face ashen, his cheeks puffed up, clutching his chest as if holding back a mouthful of old blood.

He was struck into the ground, coincidentally landing in the very tomb he had set up, and even more coincidentally, right next to Gu Lisheng, sitting heavily on the ground.

The two exchanged a glance, the atmosphere becoming subtly awkward. Song Heng glanced at Gu Lisheng again, the tension growing.

He spoke in a trembling voice, ”Lisheng... no... Young Master Gu, I am gravely injured today, please don’t... don’t take advantage of me...!”

Gu Lisheng, half-closing his eyes, took a deep breath, a twisted smile gradually forming at the corner of his mouth:

”Fat Song, hehe... hahaha! Today, I will surely cut you down!! Scoundrel! Die!!!”

”Ah~~!! Ah!!!!”

From within the tomb came a blood-curdling scream, echoing in all directions.
