"What's buried inside is nothing but my physical body; I have already transcended death and become an immortal!"
The Kunlun Patriarch explained calmly.
"To achieve immortality through corpse dissolution?"
As a cultivator, Bai Mei was naturally very clear about the concept of achieving immortality through corpse liberation.
However, the idea of achieving immortality through corpse liberation has always existed only in legends; he had never heard of anyone achieving immortality through corpse liberation.
In this world, people usually ascend directly to the second dimension, which means they ascend here.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Come and pay your respects to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor."
The Kunlun Patriarch pointed to the two people standing in front of him and said to Bai Mei.
"The Yellow Emperor?"
"Emperor Yan?"
Bai Mei was taken aback and immediately knelt down with a thud, bowing deeply in reverence.
At this moment, the Kunlun Patriarch saw Li Yao standing upright beside Bai Mei, so he frowned and shouted, "Young friend, why don't you bow to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor?"
"Logically speaking, one should kneel and pay homage to the supreme ruler of China!"
"But the fact that you've fallen on such a miserable state makes me very suspicious of your identities!"
Li Yao said calmly.
Actually, he was quite surprised.
The Kunlun Patriarch had no reason to deceive Bai Mei, so the two people in front of him must be the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.
However, these two are having a really tough time in this world. Although they seem to have achieved immortality, he can tell that the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor are just spiritual beings, existing in the form of primordial spirits.
According to the Kunlun Patriarch, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor should also have achieved immortality through corpse liberation.
Therefore, they do not have physical bodies.
Moreover, since they have already become immortals, this place must be the celestial realm.
However, this celestial realm is too shabby; it lacks both abundant spiritual energy and luxurious palaces.
Looking at the houses built around the lake, they resembled thatched huts from a primitive society, extremely rudimentary.
The celestial realm of this world is truly fascinating!
"How dare you question the identities of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor!"
The Kunlun Patriarch roared.
"It's alright!"
The Yellow Emperor, wearing a crown, raised his palm.
Then, he said to the kneeling White Eyebrows, "You may rise as well!"
"yes!"
Bai Mei stood up, bowed deeply, and showed great respect.
The Yellow Emperor looked at Li Yao and asked, "Young friend, what is your name? What school or sect do you belong to?"
"Li Yao is an unaffiliated, independent cultivator from overseas!"
Li Yao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
The Yellow Emperor nodded and asked again, "Did you also ascend to heaven?"
"No!"
Li Yao shook his head and said, "I was just interested in the so-called second space, so I came with Master Bai Mei to take a look."
"Come and take a look?"
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and a group of bigwigs from various schools and sects were all astonished.
This second space isn't something you can just peek at whenever you want!
Moreover, without a certain level of cultivation, it is impossible to come here.
The Yellow Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Do you know that once you come here, you can never return to the mortal world?"
"Know!"
"However, I can go wherever I want, and nothing can stop me!"
Li Yao shrugged, looking very confident.
The Yellow Emperor and the others chuckled, thinking to themselves: This kid is really arrogant, daring to say anything.
However, when they first came here, they all felt the same way as Li Yao: that this godforsaken place couldn't possibly hold them back.
As a result, they were utterly disappointed...
Chapter 632 The Price of Immortality
The Yellow Emperor and others did not take Li Yao's boastful words to heart.
The Kunlun Patriarch asked Bai Mei, "Old friend Bai Mei, how did you suddenly ascend to immortality? Have you already found a successor for Emei?"
"I have indeed found a very suitable successor!"
"However, my ascension this time is due to a very important matter."
White Eyebrows replied.
"What important matter?"
The Kunlun Patriarch asked the question.
Bai Mei's expression turned unusually serious.
He recounted in detail how the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring plotted to enter Chi You's Blood Cave and prepare to destroy Mount Shu.
Finally, he revealed his plan to ascend here to find a weapon to deal with the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring.
"I never expected that someone from the demonic path would actually enter Chi You's Blood Cave!"
"Humanity is about to face an unpredictable catastrophe!"
The Yellow Emperor's expression also became unusually solemn.
"What exactly is this Chi You Blood Cave? Is it related to Chi You?"
Li Yao asked the question.
"good!"
Emperor Yan, who had remained silent until now, nodded and said:
"Back then, I joined forces with the Yellow Emperor to fight Chi You in a great battle at Zhuolu. That battle was extremely fierce."
"If it were a direct confrontation, Chi You would naturally be no match for us."
"Chi You, being a demon, gathered all the most filthy things in the world that he could find in order to defeat us, and forged the Chi You Blood Cave."
Even so, Chi You was still defeated by us.
"After the Battle of Zhuolu, I joined forces with the Yellow Emperor to completely seal Chi You's Blood Cave and hide it in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing."
"I never expected that after so many years, I would be discovered by the demonic cultivators and even have them open Chi You's blood cave."
"Chi You's Blood Cave is extremely powerful, capable of drawing upon the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers."
"Once a member of the demonic path uses the Chi You Blood Cave to absorb the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, they will soon become an invincible demon."
"At that time, the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer. The consequences will be unimaginable!"
At this point, Emperor Yan let out a long sigh.
White Eyebrows hurriedly said, "Emperor Huangdi, Emperor Yandi, I came here precisely to find a weapon to deal with the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring. I wonder if there is a suitable weapon here that can eliminate the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring?"
"this……"
Emperor Yan hesitated for a moment and looked at Emperor Huang.
The Yellow Emperor paused slightly, then said, "We do have weapons, but..."
"Just what?"
Bai Mei got anxious.
The Yellow Emperor hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke:
"You don't know this, but although Emperor Yan and I killed Chi You back then, Chi You did not truly die. Instead, he disintegrated and ascended to this place."
"Later, Emperor Yan and I ascended to this place one after another, only to find that Chi You had already become an immortal."
"In order to deal with Chi You, I joined forces with Emperor Yan again and used the Xuanyuan Sword to suppress Chi You in the Demon Valley."
"Since Chi You has already achieved immortality, he will be eternally ageless, immortal, and indestructible in this space!"
"We also have no way to completely destroy Chi You!"
"Moreover, there is a mysterious force in this space that suppresses our magic power, preventing us from using our full power."
"Therefore, we can only rely on the Xuanyuan Sword to suppress Chi You."
"If we hand over the Xuanyuan Sword to you and send it to the mortal realm, then we will be unable to suppress Chi You..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao said, "I presume you have all achieved immortality, and here you will forever be ageless, immortal, and indestructible!"
"good!"
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
"Whether it's you or Chi You, once you ascend to this place, you can't leave and return to the human world, right?"
Li Yao asked.
"good!"
The Yellow Emperor nodded again.
