"We're here."
A voice exploded in their ears, waking them up from their trance. They looked up blankly and found that there was a tall mountain in front of them.
"We're already here?"
They were all stunned. It didn't feel like a long time, but they already arrived? Before coming here, they were prepared to die, but they didn't expect that they would arrive in a blink of an eye, and they didn't feel anything at all.
"Climb up from here, and you can reach the peak. It's not difficult." Yi Tianyun walked down from the ship. There were no cultivators here anymore.
Ever since he absorbed the black clouds here, basically all the cultivators who came here could easily climb up, and the difficulty was greatly reduced. Unless they were too weak, they could still climb up.
"You, are you really the Great Emperor of Heavenly Clouds?" Ding Qing shouted at him.
"Mhmm." Yi Tianyun nodded and left after saying that.
He just thought that Ding Qing was a good person, so he decided to bring her along. He didn't plan to go to the Ghost World with them, and even if he went to the Ghost World, he wouldn't go with them.
With his current situation, going to the Ghost World would be a fierce battle, so it was impossible for him to bring others with him.
Looking at the back of Yi Tianyun, Ding Qing wanted to say something, but she didn't. She could only watch his back gradually disappear in front of her eyes.
"Sister Ding, are we dreaming? He is the Great Emperor of Heavenly Clouds … I heard that he is very mysterious. I didn't expect to see him here in the Heavenly Clouds Empire."
"Yes, fortunately, I didn't say anything rude before. Otherwise, I would be thrown into the Netherworld River like Liu De."
"It's so domineering. Who would have thought that he is a Great Emperor at such a young age? It seems that I have to be careful in the future. If I offend the son of a powerhouse, it will be extremely troublesome … "
They all calmed down and didn't dare to be so impetuous. They were very impetuous before, and some of them even thought highly of themselves. When they thought of Liu De being thrown into the water, they couldn't help but tremble. It was a nightmare.
Ding Qing nodded but didn't say anything. Such a person was not someone they could come into contact with. Up until now, she still did not know why she received such preferential treatment.
Other people don't know, only Yi Tianyun knows. To him, it was quite rare for Ding Qing to have a kind heart in such an evil world.
…
Yi Tianyun retraced his steps, but he did not return to the outermost area. Instead, he returned to the Death Fog. Right now, the Death Fog was already shrouded by many other fogs. He turned a blind eye to it and walked in.
However, he did not walk out. Instead, he went around to another place and slowly walked up. Originally, there seemed to be no path, but he forcefully carved out a path. Soon after, what appeared in front of him was actually a huge mountain.
He didn't take the wrong path. Instead, he climbed up with his bare hands. The demonic beasts on the side squeaked, but they didn't dare to pounce on him. They could sense how terrifying Yi Tianyun was. They all felt a sense of danger, so they didn't pounce on him.
Soon, Yi Tianyun climbed to the top of the mountain. There was no Death Fog here. Instead, there was a hut. However, this hut was already dilapidated. Obviously, no one had lived here for a long time, causing it to collapse under the wind and rain.
He walked over and gently pushed open the door. The inside was covered with dust. It was unknown how long it had been since anyone lived here.
"It seems that the guardian has left and didn't choose to guard here …" Yi Tianyun frowned. According to the memory given by the Heavenly Rock Suppression Ancient Tablet, this should be where the guardian lived.
Now that there was no one here, it meant that the person had left. As for where they went, it was not clear.
The reason why the Underworld passage had become so dangerous was largely because the guardian was gone, causing many of the divine runes here to not be maintained. As a result, as time passed, it would become so dangerous.
If the guardian was still alive, it would mean that he had absolutely failed in his duty. According to the oath, he must always guard this place. He must absolutely not leave it at all and guard this place for generations to come.
It seemed inhumane, but other than that, there were no other restrictions. As long as there was no problem here, the Heaven Creating Divine King would not care where they went. He just had to manage the stability of the passage.
Now that the passage was in such a mess, the traces of the transmission array above the Nether Gate seemed to have faded a little. If this continued, the passage would disappear.
If the person died, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty. Yi Tianyun looked around and felt that they were not dead. It was obvious that before they left, this place was still very tidy, and there were no bones.
It meant that they did not die of old age, and it seemed that there was more than one person living here.
Immediately, he walked around the place to see if there were any clues. Finally, he saw a token on the table, engraved with the word "Heaven Essence".
"Heaven Essence, could it be the Heaven Essence Empire?" Yi Tianyun's eyes showed a little surprise. If this was the case, it was really a coincidence.
Although he had obtained their memories, he did not know their names. He only knew where they were. After all, the Heavenly Rock Suppression Ancient Tablet was a weapon, not a person. He only knew the general content, but not the details.
Now that he saw the word "Heaven Essence", he immediately felt that it was a little interesting. If there was a connection with the Heaven Essence Empire, it meant that the guardian was not willing to stay here, and went out to create an empire!
With their strength, creating an empire was not a problem at all. Creating an empire was not important, the Heaven Creating Divine King would not interfere. The point was that the passage to the Nether Gate was about to be destroyed, and he did not come back to maintain it even once.
If he often came to repair it, he believed that when the Heaven Creating Divine King returned, he would not interfere.
But now, he built an empire, immersed in power, and neglected his job. One must know that the Heaven Creating Divine King chose them to become guardians and protect the passage, but now he ran away.
He believed that when the Heaven Creating Divine King returned, he would definitely be furious.
Of course, no one knew whether the Heaven Creating Divine King was dead or alive. This Heaven Essence must have thought that the Heaven Creating Divine King would not come back, so he left here.
Obviously, he was not like Ren De, who was willing to stay in the small village as a guardian, but chose to establish an empire.
"It seems that I have to go to the Heaven Essence Empire …"
