Lingxu Cave Heaven lay in the Yan Kingdom, adjacent to the Azure Emperor's ruins. Strictly speaking, Lingxu Cave Heaven was part of Qing Emperor's Tomb, but human cultivators had later occupied it and broken away from the Demon Race's territory.
Near Qing Emperor's Tomb lay the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, with a female Heavenly Emperor within it. Such was the charm of the Eastern Wasteland.
That distance was a single step even for a Great Saint, let alone a Great Emperor. They could hardly have been closer.
"Tigers and leopards hide in deep mountains; qilins lie buried in the fields."
"Who could have imagined that this tiny Yan Kingdom housed two Heavenly Emperors, with Immortal Artifacts such as the Desolate Pagoda hidden away?"
Lin Xian's sigh filled everyone with reverence. Even the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor clicked his tongue. This speck of land actually seemed more terrifying than the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginnings. The great universe truly held every imaginable marvel.
"The Azure Emperor lives in seclusion in this cave heaven?"
The Phoenix Emperor raised his head and studied the little cave heaven with interest. Its mountains and rivers were beautiful, and its spiritual energy abundant, but compared with a true pure land, it was a remote backwater. There were no divine mountains piercing the starry sky, no circulating chaos energy. On the surface, it looked inferior even to Blood Phoenix Mountain's cellar.
Yet if the Azure Emperor wished to hide, even Supreme Beings would find no trace of him. As the saying went, a mountain need not be high to be sacred if an immortal dwells there; water need not be deep to be numinous if a dragon inhabits it.
"The Azure Emperor isn't here, but a third Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Zun Ye, once cultivated here."
