"This is it!" Yang Qing said.

With their current strength, if they truly wanted to find something, nothing could hide from them.

Take the Central State Immortal Mansion, for example. It was a hidden world, difficult for ordinary people to discover, but it couldn't escape their eyes.

Conquering the Immortal Ascension Path was no simple feat, especially not at the right time; it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

For instance, the peerless Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, in his later years, forcibly attempted to conquer the Immortal Ascension Path, only to end up with a tragic demise.

Moreover, their main objective in conquering the Immortal Ascension Path this time was not to achieve immortality, but to retrieve the corpse of the Great Yin Human Emperor.

Because of this, the location where they attempted the Immortal Ascension Path was particularly important. Without the correct path, they wouldn't be able to find the Great Yin Human Emperor's corpse.

According to Yang Qing and Ji Xukong's deductions, the Big Dipper Star Domain was the most likely place, which led him to think of the Immortal Mansion World.

As soon as Yang Qing and Ji Xukong entered the Immortal Mansion World, a roar shook the heavens and earth, echoing throughout the realm.

"Undying Heavenly Emperor."

It was a divine sense, as if transmitted from billions of years ago, crossing the vast expanse of time to reach the human world.

Even powerful cultivators like Yang Qing and Ji Xukong felt an inexplicable aura at that moment, their minds trembling.

"Is this place related to the Undying Heavenly Emperor?" Ji Xukong said in a deep voice.

The roar hadn't significantly affected him, but the invincible might contained within it forced him to be cautious.

To possess such might across the ages meant that the owner of the roar was no ordinary expert.

Furthermore, the name "Undying Heavenly Emperor" represented the creator of the Primordial Era, the supreme deity of all primordial races.

"Let's go take a look and find out!" Yang Qing said.

He actually knew very well that the Immortal Ancient World was not only related to the Undying Heavenly Emperor but also to another peerless powerhouse.

The two advanced with high spirits, no danger able to impede their progress. Soon, they arrived at a celestial land.

Before them, vibrant streams of light flowed, a vast expanse of land surrounded by endless brilliance, with immortal energy washing over them.

More striking was a golden pyramid-like platform, constructed from five-colored jade stone and reaching ten thousand feet high.

"Hmph! What a grand undertaking!" Yang Qing snorted coldly.

The ten-thousand-foot-high, five-colored jade platform was incredibly magnificent, surging with power and permeated with immortal energy. Ten thousand great dragons coiled around it, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Clearly, this was an astonishing feat, only achievable by those standing at the pinnacle of the world.

With a single step, Yang Qing arrived on the platform. He saw an ancient coffin lying there, emitting an aura that could crush all ages.

"A coffin made from the trunk of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, truly a grand undertaking!" Ji Xukong remarked.

The ancient coffin exuded vibrant life force, its essence incredibly potent, as if the person buried within were not yet dead.

But this vitality didn't originate from the entombed individual; it came from the coffin itself.

The Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree was an Immortal Divine Medicine. Who could be so extravagant as to use its trunk to craft a coffin?

From this, it was evident that the person buried within was absolutely extraordinary, undoubtedly a past peerless powerhouse.

"Putting on a show!" Yang Qing said dismissively.

Without a word, and utterly fearless, he directly lifted the lid of the ancient coffin. A frozen corpse was revealed.

No, rather than a corpse, it was more like a skin, stained with five-colored blood and emitting an incredibly terrifying aura.

"The Undying Heavenly Emperor was buried here?" Ji Xukong said.

From the roar they heard upon entering the Immortal Mansion World to everything they saw now, they could deduce many things.

However, he felt something was amiss. Things shouldn't be this simple; there might be hidden secrets yet unknown.

"This is just a shed skin of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, left behind after a transformation!" Yang Qing stated.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor, who founded the Primordial Era and was revered as the supreme deity by all primordial races, wouldn't die so easily.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor had not only not died but was also walking the path to longevity, undergoing an extremely terrifying transformation.

He would live nine lives in reverse within the mortal world, constantly transforming, ultimately becoming immune to the passage of time and achieving eternal immortality.

This was the path of transformation for a Mortal World Immortal, allowing one to achieve immortality without entering the Immortal Realm!

The Undying Heavenly Emperor was precisely on this path, striving to undergo various terrifying transformations throughout the long ages.

This place was merely one of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's attempts. Being able to shed a skin proved that he had already completed a terrifying transformation.

Where this formidable powerhouse had reached now was unknown, but it was certain that the Undying Heavenly Emperor was incredibly fearsome.

"Transformation? Is the Undying Heavenly Emperor trying to become an immortal?" Ji Xukong's face was filled with shock.

Throughout the long history of the world, countless experts had made various attempts to achieve immortality.

But to this day, no one had succeeded. Could the Undying Heavenly Emperor be an exception?

The prospect of achieving immortality, a dream for so many, was enough to ignite wild speculation.

"Of course, the Undying Heavenly Emperor wants to become an immortal, but he hasn't yet!" Yang Qing said.

As far as he knew, the Undying Heavenly Emperor's path of transformation was perilous, requiring him to bathe in the blood of Emperors and Great Emperors to be reborn in blood.

Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors are powerhouses standing above the pinnacle of the world. Obtaining their blood is no easy feat.

How the Undying Heavenly Emperor acquired the blood of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors is a matter worth pondering.

Yang Qing and Ji Xukong did not linger on the jade platform for too long. Their objective this time was to conquer the Immortal Ascension Path, not the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

The two continued deeper into the Immortal Mansion Era, soon arriving at a vast battlefield. An inexplicable aura permeated the void.

"Undying Heavenly Emperor!"

An enraged voice echoed again, exactly the same as what Yang Qing and his companion had heard upon entering the Immortal Mansion world.

Gazing from afar, a majestic figure appeared, standing between heaven and earth, as if capable of crushing the nine heavens.

This was the residual imprint of a peerless powerhouse, which even after countless eons, remained difficult to erase, exuding an unparalleled aura.

"Is this the Battle Saint Emperor?"

The figure was overwhelmingly dominant, wielding an iron staff. It didn't resemble a human Great Emperor, but rather a giant golden ape.

Among all the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors throughout history, the only one who fits these characteristics is none other than the Battle Saint Emperor.

"It seems the Battle Saint Emperor was ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor in his later years while conquering the Immortal Ascension Path, hence leaving behind this indelible imprint!"

Yang Qing's expression turned solemn. The Undying Heavenly Emperor was undoubtedly a terrifying individual; even someone as powerful as the Battle Saint Emperor could not escape his schemes.

Existing for millions of years, scheming against one Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor after another, the Undying Heavenly Emperor still lives in this world today.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor is far more terrifying than those Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones of Life. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to clash in the future.

However, these are matters for the future. For now, he must join forces with Ji Xukong to conquer the Immortal Ascension Path!
