The Heavenly Pearl, the Qin Emperor's Secrets, and Entering Mount Wuliang Poison Valley!

" Brother Yi, aren't you being too fickle?" Huang Rong pouted and complained after hearing about Ling Yi and Murong Fu's deal.

"I just said it casually, who knew Murong Fu would agree!" Ling Yi said, shrugging.

Was it really just a casual remark, a spur-of-the-moment decision?

Only Ling Yi himself knows the answer.

"Hmph, you agree just because he said so? Brother Yi is such a womanizer." Huang Rong rolled her eyes.

She didn't believe any of those casual remarks.

"If Rong'er doesn't like it, then we can settle them in Dali City," Ling Yi said.

"Oh, right, two of the three women's fathers are in the Dali Kingdom."

"That old scumbag Duan Zhengchun, tsk tsk!" Ling Yi said.

" Duan Zhengchun? Isn't that the emperor of the Dali Kingdom?" Lianxing asked.

"What does 'scumbag' mean?" Huang Rong asked curiously.

"He's the kind of man who starts a relationship and then abandons it," Ling Yi explained.

Is Duan Zhengchun a scumbag? Who did he start a relationship with and then abandon?

Eight Trigrams is human nature, especially for women.

Ling Yi laughed, "There are many more..."

Ling Yi recounted Duan Zhengchun's romantic history to the women.

"He really is a scumbag!" Lianxing said.

"You old scumbag!" Huang Rong exclaimed.

She paused, then added, " Brother Yi, don't be a scumbag!"

Yaoyue looked at Ling Yi and asked, "If you were Duan Zhengchun, and all these women were infatuated with you, would you be a scumbag?"

"Me? I either want none of it, or I want it all. If I want none, I don't want to hurt anyone. If I want it all, then there's no distinction between big and small, just genuine affection!" Ling Yi said casually.

You're really greedy!

"Hmph, what a scumbag!" Huang Rong said.

"How am I a scumbag? It's starting someone and then abandoning them that makes you a scumbag," Ling Yi argued.

"He's a total jerk!"

Ling Yi touched his nose, offering no argument. Wanting it all was indeed a bit scummy.

But this is ancient times! What's wrong with having three wives and four concubines?

Forget it, women will only slow down my Summon speed of assassins. Ling Yi isn't in the mood for romance for now.

"So, Wang Yuyan and A Zhu didn't know they were Duan Zhengchun's daughters?" Lianxing asked.

"If Murong Fu knew Wang Yuyan and A Zhu's identities, he would probably regret giving them to you, wouldn't he?" Yaoyue said with a smile.

"Yes, he'll definitely regret missing the chance to become the royal consort of the Dali Kingdom!"

"Who goes there!" Just then, Yaoyue stood up, raised her hand, and struck the corner of the wall with her palm.

A dark figure appeared out of thin air, taking the blow from Yaoyue's palm head-on, yet remained unmoved, appearing extremely relaxed.

"Be careful, everyone, this guy is very strong!" Yaoyue warned.

"Calm down, I'm not the enemy." A voice, its tone reverberant and unclear, rang out.

Ling Yi immediately realized that these were people from the Heavenly Secrets Gate.

"Don't be nervous, they're definitely not enemies," Ling Yi said, standing up.

"Young Master Ling, we meet again." The figure in black clasped his hands in Fist Dao to Ling Yi, his attitude much more polite than last time.

"Any news?" Ling Yi asked.

" Di Shitian failed in his attempt to force his way into the Bottomless Abyss and has now returned to the Feng Yun Domain," the shadowy figure said.

"Where's my sister?" Ling Yi asked worriedly.

"Your sister has become a zombie woman, with strength comparable to the Master Realm, and has been taken back to the Feng Yun Domain by Di Shitian."

" Di Shitian probably intends to train Miss Ling Shuang into Drought Demon. If he succeeds, it will surely bring devastation to the land."

"If you want Miss Ling Shuang to return to normal, you must baptize her with the blood of the Azure Dragon before she grows into Drought Demon, thus changing her zombie-like constitution."

Ling Yi frowned, a sense of urgency immediately rising in his heart.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Despite his fear of Di Shitian, he had no choice but to confront Di Shitian and rescue his sister.

As for the blood of the Azure Dragon, others may not know where it is, but Ling Yi, knowing the plot of the Fengyun Riders, knows where to find it.

First, rescue my sister, then go Dragon Slayer.

However, before that, Ling Yi needs to further improve his strength.

"Is the Drought Demon very powerful?" Ling Yi asked.

"Where the Drought Demon passes, the land is scorched for miles, poisonous insects run rampant, and living beings suffer terribly," the shadowy figure said.

Ling Yi grew increasingly worried.

If that time really comes, I'm afraid my sister will become the target of everyone's anger, after all, the whole world will condemn her.

Ling Yi naturally wouldn't allow that to happen.

He clasped his Fist Dao, "Thank you for informing me."

"Young master, just don't forget your promise."

"Of course I won't forget."

Regardless of Heavenly Secrets Gate's true motives, they certainly helped him a great deal.

Without the information from the Heavenly Secrets Gate, Ling Yi wouldn't even know where Di Shitian was.

"May I ask what the Endless Abyss is?" Ling Yi asked.

"Eight thousand years ago, a meteorite fell into the territory of the Great Qin, smashing out a nearly indestructible crater, which is the origin of the Endless Abyss."

"That meteorite, known as the Heavenly Pearl, can emit its own fluorescence that lasts for thousands of years. Moreover, it can grant Longevity. The Qin Emperor was able to live for eight thousand years because of this Heavenly Pearl."

"What? Qin Emperor has lived for eight thousand years?" Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise.

"That's not right. Since unifying the Great Qin State of Great Qin, it has had 337 emperors. Could it be...?"

"Miss Huang's guess is correct. That was just Qin Emperor trying to deceive people. From beginning to end, there was only one Qin Emperor," the shadowy figure explained.

Everyone was incredulous; they never expected such a secret to exist.

Ling Yi sighed inwardly; this world was far more complex than he had imagined!

"Then, Di Shitian's purpose in going to Great Qin must be for that Heavenly Pearl, right?" Yaoyue asked.

The shadowy figure nodded. "Although the Qin Emperor lived for eight thousand years with the help of the Heavenly Pearl, Heavenly Pearl was both made and destroyed by it. Qin Emperor has always been unable to break through to the Body Condensation Realm Body Condensation, and without breaking through, he cannot Shattering the Void."

Body Condensation is the Upper Three Realms of Land Immortal.

The so-called Upper Three Realms are the early, middle, and late stages of Body Condensation.

After Body Condensation, the next step is to Shattering the Void.

"You should know the true identity of Di Shitian, young master," the shadowy figure said, looking at Ling Yi.

"Yes, Xu Fu!" Ling Yi nodded.

"Originally, Qin Emperor Shi Huang discovered the Phoenix's form on Penglai Immortal Island. If he had been baptized with Phoenix Blood and aided by the power of the Heavenly Pearl, Qin Emperor would have had a chance to Shattering the Void."

"But in the end, the Phoenix Blood was stolen by Xu Fu, and this led to an irreconcilable feud between the Qin Emperor and Xu Fu."

" Xu Fu's goal was not the Heavenly Pearl, but to destroy Heavenly Pearl. As long as the Heavenly Pearl was destroyed, the Qin Emperor would surely die."

Ling Yi is becoming increasingly curious about the Heavenly Secrets Gate.

He had previously assumed that the Heavenly Secrets Gate was most likely a force of the Great Qin, because only the Great Qin had the capability to create such a powerful organization.

But now it seems that's not the case.

If it were truly the Qin Emperor's power, the shadowy figure would never have revealed such a secret.

Furthermore, Ling Yi found himself increasingly unable to understand why this dark figure seemed to know everything about him.

What exactly does he possess that the Heavenly Secrets Gate would covet?

Just to ask for a favor? Ling Yi found it hard to believe.

"I don't know, do you know anything about the world after the Shattering the Void?" Yaoyue asked at this moment.

The shadowy figure shook its head. "Without entering the Third Realm, one need not inquire about the Third Realm; without entering the Shattering Realm, one need not inquire about the Shattering. Entering them will reveal all; there is no need to ask!"

Yaoyue nodded thoughtfully, then clasped her hands in thanks to the shadowy Fist Dao, "Thank you."

"If you have any news, please let me know. Farewell!" After saying this, the shadowy figure clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ling Yi, then slowly dissipated until he disappeared completely.

This tactic was incomprehensible to everyone.

" The Heavenly Secrets Gate?" Yaoyue asked Ling Yi.

"Hmm, the Heavenly Secrets Gate."

"Only the Heavenly Secrets Gate could know such secrets, but we don't know the origins of this Heavenly Secrets Gate."

Ling Yi shook his head. "There's no point in thinking about these things now."

"Get some rest, we're going into the ice cave tomorrow!"

The next morning, before dawn, Deng Baichuan brought Wang Yuyan and the other two women to Ling Yi's manor.

However, none of the three women were in good condition at the moment.

A Zhu and A Bi had red and swollen eyes, clearly from crying.

Wang Yuyan, on the other hand, was extremely aloof, her eyes like ice, and her gaze towards Ling Yi was filled with disgust.

Ling Yi was in no mood to deal with any of this at the moment, and seeing the state of the three women, he felt even more that he had made a troublesome deal with Murong Fu.

" Yaoyue, take them to recognize their father later!" Ling Yi didn't look at the three women much, and turned to Yaoyue.

"By the way, see if we can trade the One Yang Finger and the Six Meridian Divine Sword with Duan Zhengchun. But don't force it; if we can, great; if not, then forget it."

"Okay!" Yaoyue nodded.

"Then be careful. If it becomes impossible, then withdraw immediately," Yaoyue added.

"Don't worry!" Ling Yi said, then his Ying Yi into the air and disappeared in another flash.

The ice cave was too dangerous. Not to mention the ice cave, even the Mount Wuliang Poison Valley was fraught with danger for Yaoyue.

Therefore, Ling Yi had to go to the ice cave alone.

The Mount Wuliang Poison Valley is located within Mount Wuliang, and the ice cave of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm is also located within the Mount Wuliang Poison Valley.

Ling Yi had already scouted out the location, so it wasn't difficult to find.

In less than the time it takes for an incense Kung Fu Hustle, Ling Yi had already arrived outside a valley filled with thick fog.

Mount Wuliang is very large, with continuous mountain ranges.

There are two most famous places: one is the Mount Wuliang Immortal Realm Cliff, and the other is the Mount Wuliang Poison Valley.

Of course, there is another place, namely the Mount Wuliang Cave.

That is, the place where Duan Yu obtained the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Graceful Steps upon the Waves.

I just don't know if Duan Yu has obtained this opportunity yet; I'll take a look once I come out of the ice cave.

The inside and outside of this poisonous valley are separated by thick fog, clearly distinct.

This dense fog was no ordinary fog; it was poisonous miasma from the valley.

Let alone ordinary people, even Innate Martial Practitioner wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, none of this mattered to Ling Yi.

He wished the poisonous miasma were even more potent.

Stepping into the thick fog, Ling Yi immediately smelled a sweet fragrance.

After taking a few steps forward, the notification sounds in my mind began to ring continuously.

[Ding, 3 assassins have died, 3 more assassins can Summon, total number of assassins that can Summon is 1,090,103!]

[bite...]

The beeping sound occurs almost once per second, which is quite frequent.

However, this amount of energy expenditure was really not enough for Ling Yi.

As they ventured deeper, the number of assassins consumed increased, and the frequency of their attacks also rose.

Now, it's ringing four times per second, and the number of assassins consumed each time has increased from a few to dozens.

This significantly improved efficiency.

Just then, a cow's moo rang out, followed by a massive, crimson figure appearing before Ling Yi.
