Entering the Azure King's Tomb

When the terrifying Spatial Turbulence disappeared, Lu Changsheng steadied himself, now billions of miles away from the ancient star that had been annihilated by the Evil Spirits.

An ancient, Nameless Star floated in the Void, and in the center of the star was a cluster of palaces covered by Barrier.

"We've actually returned to the Azure King's Tomb."

The palace complex that Lu Changsheng saw was the building inside the Azure King's Tomb.

The Spatial Turbulence deep within the Void is extremely terrifying; even Great Expert can only drift with the current and find it difficult to resist.

"My Disciples, along with those from the Eastern Sea Academy and the Profound Maiden Palace, have all been separated by the Spatial Turbulence. I don't know where they are now?"

"I have Apprentice-Teaching Simulator that can find their place by simulating their future."

Lu Changsheng took the lead in simulating Lu Qinglian's life.

[Ding, you have begun simulating the life of your Disciple, Lu Qinglian.]

[Ding, today's simulation attempts -1.]

[Simulation begins:]

[Five hundred years later, you encounter Lu Qinglian on a nearby Ancient Star brimming with Spiritual Qi.]

[The Evil Spirits attacked this Ancient Star in order to devour the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.]

[You encountered Evil Spirits and were killed by Evil Spirit.]

[Simulation ended.]

The simulation results were very brief, and Lu Changsheng frowned.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Evil Spirit while searching for their Second Disciple, Lu Qinglian.

"Could it be that the Evil Spirit has memorized our presence, and is therefore hunting down me and my Disciple?"

Lu Changsheng realized something unusual was amiss.

Lu Changsheng continued to simulate the future of another disciple, Lin Qingzhi.

[Ding, you have begun simulating the life of your Disciple, Lin Qingzhi.]

[Ding, today's simulation attempts -1.]

[Simulation begins:]

[Lin Qingzhi was trapped on a star devoid of Spiritual Qi for eight hundred years, and due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, his cultivation could not make progress.]

[Evil Spirit attacked this star.]

Lin Qingzhi was killed by Evil Spirit.

[Simulation ended.]

"As expected, the Evil Spirit is hunting down my Disciple. It's very likely that this Evil Spirit doesn't want to reveal its whereabouts and wants to kill everyone who sees it."

Lu Changsheng's guess was confirmed, and he became certain that the Evil Spirit was hunting down him and his disciples.

"My Void Boat has been destroyed; I can only replenish my True Qi using the various Immortal Pill I already possess."

"Fortunately, I have obtained countless Immortal Pill through years of teaching disciples, enough to sustain myself in the Void for ten thousand years without worrying about running out of True Qi."

"As long as you find a Disciple, the system will continuously return top-grade Immortal Pill."

"But the Azure Lotus closest to me will be killed by the Evil Spirit in five hundred years; its time is running out."

How do I kill the Evil Spirit?

Lu Changsheng realized that he only had five hundred years left to fight the Evil Spirit, and he had no Disciples who could help Lu Changsheng use the system to trigger the Disciple-Teaching Rebate. Killing the Evil Spirit would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even with the combined might of seven powerful beings and a God King Realm powerhouse, Lu Changsheng using the sixth form of the "Nine Taichu Forms" created by the Human Race Great Emperor White Emperor, they were still unable to kill this Evil Spirit. The Evil Spirit's level was terrifying beyond measure.

"Lu Changsheng?!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out, and Lu Changsheng came to his senses. It was Yuexi, the Heavenly Prodigy of the Profound Maiden Palace.

When Yuexi saw Lu Changsheng, she was overjoyed, and her anxious heart finally settled down.

Although she was Peerless Genius cultivated by the Profound Maiden Palace, the number of Immortal Pill she carried was far less than that of Lu Changsheng, who had the system at his disposal.

In the Void, there is no Void Boat; one can only fly by consuming one's own True Qi. Once one cannot obtain supplies and Medicinal Pills are exhausted, even Great Expert will eventually burn out.

There are also many dangerous Forbidden Grounds in the Void; even Great Expert mistakenly enter these Forbidden Grounds may perish.

Meeting Yuexi Changsheng gave Lu Changsheng at least someone to rely on, so she wouldn't have to grope in the Void alone.

"You were also brought to this area by the Spatial Turbulence?"

Lu Changsheng's encounter with Yuexi was somewhat unexpected.

Yuexi nodded. "That Spatial Turbulence was incredibly powerful. The Void Fruit extremely dangerous; even Human Race Great Emperor might not be able to easily enter or leave Void. Do you still have Void Boat?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head. "The Void Boat has been destroyed by the Spatial Turbulence."

Yuexi's pretty face paled slightly. "In that case, we can only rely on our own True Qi and all the Medicinal Pills we have, carefully groping our way through the Void to see if we can return to the Three Realms."

"The Evil Spirit has memorized our scent; it's hunting us down."

"What?"

Lu Changsheng's words made Yuexi's heart tremble, and her face turned pale.

This Evil Spirit is extremely terrifying. If it were to hunt them down, neither Lu Changsheng nor Yuexi would be a match for Evil Spirit.

Yuexi asked nervously, "How do you know the Evil Spirits are chasing us?"

"This is the result of my deduction. The Evil Spirit doesn't seem to be a being from this realm. It doesn't want its whereabouts to be discovered by the powerful beings of the Three Realms, and since we encountered it devouring the beings of the stars, it will try to kill us to silence us. Moreover, I suspect that the reason one of the Three Thousand Small Worlds we encountered had a corner cracked might be the work of this Evil Spirit. However, the Evil Spirit underestimated the power of the Three Thousand Small Worlds and was backfired by the World Power, so it was severely injured and is attempting to recover its injuries by devouring the flesh, blood, and Spiritual Qi of the surrounding star beings..."

Using the results of the system simulation, Lu Changsheng deduced the situation again and roughly guessed the Evil Spirit's intentions.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's deduction, Yuexi was greatly surprised. "Evil Spirits are not beings of this world? Could they come from the Netherworld Realm?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head uncertainly and said no more, clearly not entirely confident in determining the origin of the Evil Spirit.

Yuexi said worriedly, "If the Evil Spirit is still in this area of Void, then we need to leave this place as soon as possible..."

"The Evil Spirit's Cultivation Method are extremely strange; it can track our presence in the Void, making escape difficult. Rather than being caught and killed, we should actively seek out the Evil Spirit and kill him while he is still severely injured."

"You... you were just defeated by the Evil Spirit, weren't you? Even if the Evil Spirit was severely injured, the two of us combined were no match for Evil Spirit."

Yuexi was even more surprised when she heard Lu Changsheng's plan.

Not long ago, Lu Changsheng fought against the Evil Spirit and was Evil Spirit crushed. Now, does Lu Changsheng want to go back and fight the Evil Spirit again?

Isn't this suicide?

Lu Changsheng turned his head and stared intently at the Azure King's Tomb.

Two Remote Antiquity Human Race powerhouses, Azure King, One of the Black Emperor's Nine Human Kings, Merak Sword Maiden, the Ninth Sword Maiden of the High Antiquity Profound Maiden Palace, perished here.

"We still have a chance to turn things around."

"You mean..."

When Yuexi saw Lu Changsheng looking at the Azure King's Tomb, she immediately understood his intention.

"The Law Treasure of the Azure King and the Merak Sword Maiden are in the tomb. We, their descendants, can borrow these Law Treasure to eliminate the Evil Spirits. I'm sure the two predecessors, if they are still alive, would not object."

Ignoring the possibility that there might be other traps and mechanisms in the Azure King's Tomb, Lu Changsheng entered the Azure King's Tomb alone.

This is the only way to kill the Evil Spirit.

"Wait for me."

Seeing Lu Changsheng disappear into the Barrier of the Azure King's Tomb, Yuexi bit her lip and followed Lu Changsheng into the Azure King's Tomb.
