The next morning, Xie Feng appeared in the Imperial Evil Realm, looking radiant.
He walks much faster than usual.
Don't ask, the answer is simply that I'm happy.
He went to Cangming Island to find Imperial Evil Lord. Under a huge ancient cypress tree, Imperial Evil Lord was wearing a white robe, holding a pot of wine, and poured it onto the ground from above, his face solemn.
He offered wine in remembrance of the Seven Heroes.
The clothes and hats of the Seven Heroes are buried under this ancient cypress tree.
Xie Feng walked over and stood silently with him for a while.
The Imperial Evil Lord said with a sorrowful expression, "The war is over, but they haven't returned..."
Xie Feng said, "If one day I can climb the path to immortality and gain the power to save people, I will bring them back to life."
The Imperial Evil Lord shook his head, taking it as a joke. He chuckled dismissively, "Alright, Shuangyan and the others... are waiting for you to revive them!"
Xie Feng's gaze was firm. "Definitely!"
The Imperial Evil Lord continued pouring wine.
After pouring out the entire pot of wine, he turned to Xie Feng and said, "By the way, what brings you here? It's a busy time right now, you..."
Xie Feng shrugged. "What busyness? Didn't I hand over the heavy lifting to Cong Yun and the others? I'm the kind of person who likes to enjoy my freedom! I'm here to tell you that I'm preparing to leave the Origin Realm!"
Are you leaving too?
"Also?"
"I'm also planning to leave in a couple of days!"
"Where you go?"
Xie Feng frowned and asked curiously.
The Imperial Evil Lord remained expressionless. "I'm not suited to dealing with others. With Old Lu returning to the Chaos Pearl, I can't stay in this Imperial Evil Realm for even a day without his help. I plan to hand over the position of Realm Lord to Gu Yuan and go to the Fifth Universe to seek refuge with a friend!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "You're going to the Fifth Universe? Perfect, I'm going too! I've left the Xuanji Sect to Xiao Shang, but before that, I need to make a trip to the Fourth Universe!"
You're going to Fourth Universe too?!
The Imperial Evil Lord was shocked.
Because he also plans to go to Fourth Universe and then to Fifth Universe!
"I've heard that the Fourth Universe has a lot of resources, and I'm planning to seek refuge with some friends. I can't go empty-handed; I should bring some gifts. By the way, why are you going to the Fourth Universe?"
The Imperial Evil Lord laughed.
Xie Feng said, "Do you know about that black meteorite from yesterday?"
The Imperial Evil Lord shook his head.
Xie Feng explained, "It's called the Nether Dao, it comes from the Fifth Universe, and I had a previous connection with it. Also, the little girl Xiangxiang beside me is its city lord. So I have to send them back. As for going to the Fourth Universe... the Nether Dao is injured and needs to find a divine object called the Life-Creating Azure Lotus to restore its human form, and this divine object is in the Fourth Universe!"
The Imperial Evil Lord laughed, "Great! We can travel together!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Okay!"
The two hit it off immediately. Just then, a black stone flew in from a distance. The stone grew larger, and on it sat Gu Yu and Xiangxiang.
With a cloud of dust billowing up, the black stone Nether Dao stopped just in front of Xie Feng's nose. Gu Yu jumped to the ground with Xiangxiang, and he said somewhat anxiously:
"Master, I heard you're leaving the Origin Realm. My mistress said you left Xiangxiang behind, so she sent me to the Imperial Evil Realm!"
Xie Feng looked at Gu Yu. Only two days after Gu Xinglan's death, he couldn't hold on any longer. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he became extremely decadent. He stopped practicing swordsmanship and refining pills, and spent his days lying around like a corpse.
Now his eyes are haggard, his beard is unkempt, and he looks like a walking corpse. Only now, when he shows an anxious expression, does he have a slight hint of life.
Gu Xinglan was very important to him. As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother. Even though she had a fierce temper, she still protected him well when the war came and even specially improved his cultivation.
He knew Gu Xinglan deserved to die.
But he finds it hard to overcome his inner hurdle.
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng knew that Sushang couldn't bear to see him continue to be so dejected, so she deliberately found him a job to keep him occupied and encourage him to cheer up.
Xie Feng's eyes darted around, and he smiled, saying, "Staying in the Xuanji Sect all the time must be boring, right? Want to go out and have some fun?"
Gu Yu shook his head, utterly dejected.
Xie Feng continued, "Aren't you curious about the Fourth Universe? It's rich in resources and full of fortuitous opportunity; you might even be able to improve your cultivation! After that, come with me to the Fifth Universe for some training. Now that I have nothing else to do, I can focus on nurturing you!"
"Master..."
Gu Yu looked troubled.
Xie Feng's gaze turned cold, and he decisively said, "It's settled then!"
Gu Yu took a deep breath and dared not say anything more.
He still respected Xie Feng!
"Everyone, are you ready? If you have nothing to hold you back, I'll be taking you to the Fourth Universe!"
"Nether Dao" shook his head and asked.
Xie Feng said, "Let's go."
Nether Dao flew slightly higher, his thoughts shifted, and endless light shone forth. As the intensity of the light increased, his body also grew rapidly!
It skyrocketed!
It quickly transformed into a colossal, sky-covering rock, sharp and spindle-shaped, with its head resembling a sword, supposedly designed to facilitate its passage through space and to crush potential storms and whirlpools.
"Go!"
The Nether Dao cheered and shouted.
Xie Feng, Xiangxiang, Gu Yu, and Imperial Evil Lord flew up and sat at the head of the group.
They are tiny compared to stones.
Nether Dao led everyone straight into the sky, and with a bang, they flew out of the Origin Realm and arrived in the mysterious and dazzling universe.
To be on the safe side, Xie Feng used the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire to condense a barrier to ensure everyone's safety.
And so it kept flying.
Time is immeasurable.
Because it had been a long time, the Imperial Evil Lord fell asleep leaning against a protruding rock. Xiangxiang beside him, sprawled out, also fast asleep.
Gu Yu squatted in the corner, feeling emo all by himself...
Xie Feng sat cross-legged and took out a scroll from Jin Yue that Xiangxiang had previously "given" to him—the " Qilin King Secret Key Diagram ".
There's a brief introduction at the beginning, which basically says that this scroll is a treasure map, and by following the map, you can find a very ancient treasure!
Apart from the brief introduction, the rest of the page is blank.
These top-tier treasures are usually set with energy-blocking mechanisms, which are like passwords. Either you are powerful enough to violently break the energy barrier, or you are skillful enough to cleverly unlock it.
Xie Feng definitely belongs to the first type...
With a slight focus of his mind, the Chaos Power erupted forth, easily breaking the barrier against the energy blockade with a bang.
The scrolls scattered onto the ground with a clatter.
only...
Even after disabling the energy barrier, it's still empty!
Xie Feng was not in a hurry. Instead, he calmed himself down and stared at the scroll quietly. After a while, several black lines appeared in the center of the scroll, intersecting each other.
A moment later, a red dot appeared next to the route!
The point of light was moving slowly, getting closer and closer to the chaotic path.
Xie Feng stared intently, then suddenly his eyes widened.
The path the light followed was the same path the Nether Dao took them!
This dot of light represents them!
Or rather, it represents the first person to open the scroll!
