Chen Yi Is Captured!

[Many years after the passing of the Ancestor Emperor.]

[Many years after the end of the Heavenly Emperor Era.]

[After countless years of darkness and despair for Human Race.]

[When Contamination reappears.]

[The Emperor, with the last vestige of his power remaining in the world, once again suppressed the Contamination for his subjects.]

The Contamination on Vermilion Purple Star has disappeared!

The Cultivator cheered with joy.

["The Contamination is gone! The Contamination is gone! Finally, I can cultivate normally again! Hahaha!!"]

"What just happened? I felt a strong pressure, and then the Contamination was gone!"

"Who cares what it is? As long as the Contamination is gone, it's finally dawn!"

[Near the Emperor Tomb.]

[You are deeply shaken.]

Is that the Heavenly Emperor? Heavenly Emperor still alive?

[This is the most common sentiment you hear right now.]

[Ji Baiming shed tears.]

"The Ji Family is guilty..."

[Ji Wuqing is open and honest.]

"Now I know why those bastards didn't destroy this place."

You smiled.

"They don't have the guts."

[Even after death, through countless ages, his might still awes all races!]

[You see, the cracks on that Ancestor Emperor statue have become more numerous.]

Unlike the astonished expressions of the Cultivator present, the residents of Longevity Wood Village appeared remarkably calm, as if it were commonplace.

You went up and inquired.

"Fellow villager, does your once-in-a-century Funeral Ceremony always awaken the power of the Heavenly Emperor?"

The fellow villager smiled.

"What do you mean by 'awakening'? The Heavenly Emperor has never left."

The expressions on the faces of these residents were those of pilgrims.

In their hearts, the Heavenly Emperor has always been there.

[It's just asleep.]

The residents of Longevity Wood Village couldn't explain the details of the Emperor Tomb either; their Funeral Ceremony were simply a tradition that had continued since ancient times.

They have passed down this custom through generations, just as their ancestors instructed.

[Before leaving Longevity Wood Village, you and Ji Baiming, father and daughter, bowed before the cracked statue of the Heavenly Emperor.]

[Two hundred and three years, two hundred and twenty-seven years old.]

[A mysterious power from the Emperor Tomb, originating from the Vermilion Purple Star, wiped away all the Contamination from the entire Southern Star Realm.]

[The Cultivator who witnessed the power of the Emperor Tomb spread the news, but few believed that the Heavenly Emperor, now a mythical Legendary, could still possess residual power.]

[Even if such a thing existed, it couldn't possibly be that powerful, possessing the strength to influence the vast universe.]

[The Heavenly River Monthly Gazette only reported on the disappearance of Contamination, without mentioning any mysterious force.]

[They even claimed the credit themselves, saying that the Holy Dragon Society had developed a new type of Spirit Treasure capable of specifically eliminating Contamination.]

[Through the joint efforts of all parties, the Contamination was finally cleared.]

[Now, no one believed a thing the Cultivator who left the Emperor Tomb said.]

[After all, what you're talking about is unofficial history; Heavenly River Monthly Gazette is the official history.]

Once the Contamination subsided, the Peace Bureau once again focused its efforts on arresting wanted criminals.

Unfortunately, you've been arrested.

[This is not your fault.]

[Because some threads are entangled around you, Ji Wuqing, Ji Baiming.]

["This is..."]

"Jin Hai Lao Gui's Interpersonal Index Law!"

"Where is he? This line stretches all the way to the horizon!"

"This isn't Principle, it's a domain!"

["field?"]

"That's right, this is the method of Immortal King. He has already broken through to the Immortal King level!"

"Damn it! Who's the main character anyway?! Uncle Ji, I remember you said that even a thousand ninth-tier Immortal Lord would struggle for a thousand years to break through to the Immortal King, and we're just unlucky enough to run into one?"

"That's normal cultivation. Don't forget, the Peace Bureau is a direct affiliate of the Holy Dragon Society. The Holy Dragon Society Secret Technique to accelerate the birth of Immortal King!"

Is this reasonable?

"Forget about all that. Jin Hai is Immortal King now. Even if there were a hundred of us, the three of us still couldn't beat him. Let's split up and leave the rest to fate!"

[When this thread gets entangled with you, it means the other party is following this thread, tracing back to you.]

The three of you have no choice but to split up and escape, lest you all be wiped out by the enemy.

[Although this might still allow him to catch them one by one, delaying them might create an opportunity for a change in circumstances.]

Even with 33 unique attributes, you'll still feel intimidated when facing Immortal King.

[Although the opponent is a "dragon," the "Dragon Race Bane" must make physical contact with the opponent's body.]

[He's such a powerful Immortal King, there's no way he'd let you get close. You already realized that when you helped Ji Wuqing at the Ji Family last time.]

[You thought Ji Wuqing would be the first to be captured, but unexpectedly, Jin Hai, who chased after you in Four-Wheeled Golden Chariot, captured you first.]

"Chen Yi, long time no see!"

[Jin Hai hangs high above, the Immortal King's oppressive aura makes it hard to breathe.]

[You sensed a clear threat of death, so you took out the Ghost Talisman your Second Sister had left you and immediately activated it.]

[A blurry figure appeared in mid-air; it was a person whose face and form were indistinct.]

[This figure exudes the aura of Immortal King.]

Jin Hai recognized him.

"Red River Underworld King!"

"That's right! The Red River Underworld King is my Second Sister's master. If you harm me, you will bear the consequences!"

[The King of Connections didn't work this time.]

[Because Jin Hai is now Immortal King, his status in the Tianhe Star System has risen significantly, and his influence has increased. He simply doesn't care about a Red River Underworld King who is far away in the heavens.]

[There's no other way; you can only let the Black Wind carry you to safety at full speed.]

"Boss! Hold on tight!"

[Black Wind's hooves were practically smoking, but he still couldn't shake off Jin Hai.]

[He didn't even use the power of a Immortal King; his four-wheeled chariot was enough to keep up with Black Wind's speed.]

Jin Hai waved his hand, and countless Interpersonal Silk Thread wrapped around Black Wind.

"Your Dragon Scale Horse is quite interesting. Why did you choose to serve someone like this? I don't want to kill you. Let's go."

[Jin Hai separated you from Black Wind, then bound you into a rice dumpling with Interpersonal Silk Thread and took you away.]

"Boss!!"

"Black Wind! Let's go! See you in the next life!"

"Boss! I'll definitely save you!!"

This is Haosong City.

The Peace Bureau built an execution platform here.

[Suppressed by layers of array formations, heavily guarded by soldiers, shackled with precious artifacts.]

[You've been kneeling on the execution platform, disheveled, for over a month now.]

Every day, residents of the city pass by the execution platform, pointing and whispering about you as you stand there.

Above your head is a giant guillotine.

[Of course, a guillotine capable of slicing through Cultivator is no ordinary object; it's a Legendary Post-celestial Spirit Treasure!]

"This round is going to be a KO."

You're so calm.

There are advantages to dying young.

[Doppelgangers cannot use any special abilities, so the effect of maintaining youth does not exist.]

[If you die in the form of a young man over two hundred years old, in the next simulation you can become the young Chen Liu, instead of the previous Simulated Clone who were all old and sickly.]

"Next time, I must master a technique that allows me to grow stronger by burning through my lifespan, so I don't end up with a bunch of lifespans that I can't use. Even if I die in the end, at least I'll have a sense of peace!"

[Within your Pot Heaven Space, the Myriad Souls Banner, the Demon Refining Pot, various Cultivation Method Jade Slip, Source Stone, and all your gains from your journey are still there.]

[However, the various shackles and fetters on your neck, wrists, shoulders, and legs restrict the flow of your Divine Power, preventing you from opening the Pot Heaven Space.]

[The good news is that if you can't open it, no one else can either; these items still belong to you.]
