"It's here!" Yang Qing said.
With his and Ji Xukong's current strength, if they truly wished to find something, nothing in heaven or earth could remain hidden from their sight.
Take the Central State Immortal Mansion, for instance. It was a deeply concealed minor world, difficult for ordinary people to discover, yet it could not escape their eyes.
Battling upon the Immortal Ascension Path was no simple matter, especially when it was not the proper time. It was practically harder than ascending to heaven.
For example, Xue Yueqing, the peerless Demon Emperor of a generation, had forcibly battled upon the Immortal Ascension Path in his later years, only to end up dead and annihilated.
Moreover, their primary purpose in battling upon the Immortal Ascension Path this time was not to become immortals, but to bring back the Great Yin Human Emperor's body.
For that very reason, where they battled upon the Immortal Ascension Path was particularly important. Without the correct path, they simply could not find the Great Yin Human Emperor's body.
According to his and Ji Xukong's deductions, the Big Dipper Star Domain was the most likely location, so he thought of the Immortal Mansion World.
The moment Yang Qing and Ji Xukong entered the Immortal Mansion World, a roar suddenly shook heaven and earth, echoing throughout the entire world.
"Undying Heavenly Emperor."
It was a strand of divine sense, seemingly transmitted from hundreds of millions of years ago, crossing the ages to reach the mortal world.
Even experts like Yang Qing and Ji Xukong sensed an indescribable aura at that moment, their minds trembling slightly.
"This place is connected to the Undying Heavenly Emperor?" Ji Xukong asked gravely.
That roar had not affected him much, but the invincible majesty contained within it forced him to treat it seriously.
Even after spanning endless ages, it still possessed such power. One could imagine that the master of that roar was no ordinary expert.
Furthermore, the four words "Undying Heavenly Emperor" represented the founder of the Primordial Era and the supreme deity of the Myriad Ancient Races.
"We'll know once we take a look!" Yang Qing said.
He actually knew very well that the Immortal Ancient World was not only connected to the Undying Heavenly Emperor, but also to another Peerless Expert.
The two advanced all the way without resistance. No danger could halt their steps, and they soon arrived at an immortal land.
Ahead lay a vast expanse of radiant light, surrounded by endless brilliance as boundless immortal energy rushed toward them.
Even more eye-catching was a pyramid-like platform there, forged from five-colored jade and reaching thirty thousand meters high.
"Hmph! What a grand display!" Yang Qing snorted coldly.
The five-colored jade platform soared thirty thousand meters into the air, immensely magnificent and surging with power. Immortal energy filled the air as tens of thousands of great dragons coiled around it, presenting an incomparably spectacular sight.
Clearly, this was an earth-shattering undertaking. Only an expert standing at the pinnacle of the world was qualified to arrange something like this.
With a single step, he arrived atop the platform. There, an ancient coffin lay across the jade dais, emanating an aura capable of crushing eternity.
"A coffin made from the trunk of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree—what an astonishing extravagance!" Ji Xukong said.
The ancient coffin brimmed with vitality, its essence exceptionally vigorous, as though the person buried within had not yet died.
Yet this did not come from the person buried in the ancient coffin, but from the coffin itself.
The Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree was Immortal Divine Medicine. Who could be so extravagant as to use its trunk to craft an ancient coffin?
From this alone, it was clear that the person buried within the ancient coffin was anything but ordinary, and must have been a Peerless Expert of the past.
"Putting on a mysterious act!" Yang Qing said disdainfully.
Without another word and without the slightest fear, he directly opened the ancient coffin. A frozen corpse immediately came into view.
No! Rather than a corpse, it was more like a piece of skin, stained with five-colored blood and giving off an incomparably terrifying aura.
"The Undying Heavenly Emperor was buried here?" Ji Xukong asked.
From the furious roar they had heard upon entering the Immortal Mansion World to everything they had now seen, they could undoubtedly infer many things.
Yet he felt that something was off. Matters should not be so simple; perhaps an unknown secret was hidden within.
"This is merely a piece of skin shed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor after a transformation!" Yang Qing said.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor had founded the Primordial Era and had always been regarded by the Myriad Ancient Races as their supreme deity. How could he have died so easily?
Not only was the Undying Heavenly Emperor not dead, he had also embarked upon the path of longevity and was undergoing an extremely terrifying transformation.
By living nine lives anew amid the mortal world and transforming continuously, he would eventually become untouched by the passage of time, attaining everlasting life and immortality.
Even without entering the Immortal Realm, one could still become immortal. This was the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal!
The Undying Heavenly Emperor was walking this very path, constantly striving through the long ages to undergo all kinds of terrifying transformations.
This place was merely one of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's attempts. The fact that he could transform and leave behind a piece of skin was enough to prove that he had already completed one terrifying transformation.
No one knew how far this terrifying expert had progressed, but one thing was certain: the Undying Heavenly Emperor was bound to be exceedingly terrifying.
"Transformation? The Undying Heavenly Emperor wants to become immortal?" Ji Xukong's face was filled with shock.
Throughout the long ages since ancient times, countless experts had made all kinds of attempts in order to become immortal.
Yet to this day, no one had succeeded. Could the Undying Heavenly Emperor be an exception?
The matter concerned becoming immortal, something countless people dreamed of. It was impossible not to let one's imagination run wild.
"Of course the Undying Heavenly Emperor wants to become immortal, but he has not become one yet!" Yang Qing said.
As far as he knew, the Undying Heavenly Emperor's path of transformation was terrifying. He needed to bathe in the blood of emperors and Great Emperors in order to be reborn through blood.
Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors were experts who stood at the pinnacle of the world. How could obtaining their blood possibly be easy?
How the Undying Heavenly Emperor had obtained the blood of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors was a matter worth pondering deeply.
Yang Qing and Ji Xukong did not remain on the jade platform for long. Their purpose here was to battle upon the Immortal Ascension Path, not to investigate the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
The two continued deeper into the Immortal Mansion World and soon arrived at a vast battlefield, where an inexplicable aura emerged in the void.
"Undying Heavenly Emperor!"
The furious voice rang out once more, identical to the one Yang Qing and Ji Xukong had heard when they first entered the Immortal Mansion World.
In the distance, a burly figure appeared, standing between heaven and earth as though it could crush the nine heavens.
It was an imprint left behind by a Peerless Expert. Even after endless ages, it remained difficult to erase, radiating an unparalleled aura.
"This is the Battle Saint Emperor?"
That figure exuded overwhelming dominance. Holding an iron staff, he did not resemble a human Great Emperor, but rather a golden giant ape.
Among the many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors throughout history, only the Battle Saint Emperor matched these characteristics.
"It seems the Battle Saint Emperor encountered a sneak attack from the Undying Heavenly Emperor when he battled upon the Immortal Ascension Path in his later years, which was why he left behind this undying imprint!"
Yang Qing's expression was grave. The Undying Heavenly Emperor was absolutely a terrifying figure. Even one as powerful as the Battle Saint Emperor had been unable to escape his schemes.
Having endured for millions of years, he had plotted against one Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor after another, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor still remained alive in this world.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor was far more terrifying than the Supremes within the Forbidden Zones of Life. Perhaps they would have a chance to clash in the future.
However, those were matters for later. Right now, he and Ji Xukong were going to join forces and battle upon the Immortal Ascension Path!
