Unfortunately, Ye Xuan ignored the woman. Instead, he looked deeply at Patriarch Blood River and said calmly, "You and Yuan Ling have been plotting in the Blood Sea Battlefield for ten thousand years. Now, you dare to appear in front of me. Aren't you afraid that Yuan Ling will suspect you?"
As Ye Xuan's words faded, Patriarch Blood River held his breath. He looked at Ye Xuan with a look of horror.
"Ye Daoyou has seen me before?" Patriarch Blood River probed. However, if one listened carefully, they would discover that his voice contained a slight tremor. Clearly, he was extremely shaken by Ye Xuan's words.
"Heh!"
Ye Xuan smiled contemptuously. He looked at Patriarch Blood River's eyes and said calmly, "I believe you should know that there is a taboo chapter in the Undying Immortal Sutra. And this taboo chapter contains a secret technique called 'Soul Void'."
"This technique allows one to escape into the void. When cultivated to perfection, one can peek at all things in the world. How can I not know of your existence?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Sovereign!"
Ancestor Blood River's face was deathly pale. His pupils dilated at this moment, and he unconsciously cupped his hands. A trace of fear clearly flashed through his eyes as he looked at Ye Xuan.
Patriarch Blood River had long guessed that Ye Xuan might have obtained the taboo chapter in the Undying Immortal Sutra. However, this guess had never been confirmed. But today, he learned that Ye Xuan had already grasped the taboo chapter. How could he not be horrified?
One had to know that the Undying Immortal Sutra had been passed down since the creation of the world. Countless people had cultivated it, but without exception, no one had obtained the taboo chapter. And this taboo chapter was the most important part of the Undying Immortal Sutra.
Ye Xuan was still smiling, but there was an inexplicable look in his eyes when he looked at Patriarch Blood River. "As the saying goes, there are only eternal benefits and no eternal enemies. Fellow Daoist Blood River, for you to appear in front of me, I believe you wish to leave yourself a way out, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Patriarch Blood River's expression changed as though he was considering something.
Clearly, what Ye Xuan said was indeed what Patriarch Blood River was thinking. However, he could not completely decide if he should stand on Ye Xuan's side.
If he made the wrong choice, not only would Ye Xuan die, but he would also be buried with Ye Xuan.
"Ye Daoyou, why don't we make a deal?" Patriarch Blood River remained silent for a long time before probing Ye Xuan.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan lightly smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with me?"
"If you kill Yuan Ling and help me take back the Origin Pearl, I'll give you a great opportunity. Even if you enter the Earth Immortal's World, you'll be able to transform into Daluo Jinxian in less than ten thousand years and become a revered ancestor," Patriarch Blood River said with narrowed eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Blood River, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
Ye Xuan's eyes gradually turned cold as killing intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Patriarch Blood River. "You want me to trust you with your empty words? Isn't that the greatest joke in the world?"
"Ye Daoyou, do you think that Yuan Ling is Yuan Mo's remnant soul?" Patriarch Blood River did not answer Ye Xuan's question directly.
"Is that not the case?" Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed.
"You're absolutely wrong. Yuan Mo died ten thousand years ago, and the person who killed him was Yuan Ling."
Patriarch Blood River's face was deathly pale as if he had sunk into a distant memory. The fear in his eyes was extremely strong.
"Ye Daoyou, I can solemnly tell you that Yuan Ling will never let you go, just like how he did not let Yuan Mo go back then. Even if you have the Heaven-Destroying Halberd and become an immortal in the mortal world, you can't imagine how terrifying Yuan Ling is."
"He's plotting against the world, and you're the most important chess piece. I'm just a puppet in his hands."
Ye Xuan's face darkened as he listened to Patriarch Blood River's explanation. He did not think that he had guessed wrongly. The so-called Yuan Ling was not Yuan Mo's remnant soul at all. Then who was Yuan Ling?
"I'm very curious. Since you said that Yuan Ling is so powerful, why did he appear before me? Aren't you afraid that he'll kill you?" Ye Xuan said darkly.
"Because I don't want to be a puppet. Only by killing Yuan Ling can I truly control my own fate."
Patriarch Blood River's face flushed red as his voice trembled. Clearly, he had a long history with Yuan Ling.
"Tell me, who is Yuan Ling's true self?" Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Patriarch Blood River slowly shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist, you might not believe me, but This Penniless Priest really doesn't know who Yuan Ling's true self is. After interacting with him for ten thousand years, I only know that he's a remnant soul that exists in this world. But according to my guess, he should be a …"
Bang!
Suddenly, without waiting for Ancestor Blood River to finish his words, the winds and clouds in the area changed. The face of the original spirit appeared in the sky, and the demonic light that shook the world raged. Its cold and emotionless voice came from all directions.
"Blood River, you've said too much."
Hum!
The world shook as the universe reversed. The Tongtian demonic light enveloped Patriarch Blood River, instantly causing him to vanish.
"My dear disciple, since you wish to know my true identity, I'll be waiting for you in the ancient battlefield. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Yuan Ling's voice resounded in the world as the face in the firmament vanished. As for Ye Xuan, he watched this scene silently. However, when he opened and closed his eyes, the surrounding void shattered.
"Regardless of who you are, the only outcome you will face is death!"
Ye Xuan said calmly as the blood-colored immortal light around him shimmered. He waved his sleeves and pulled Celestial Moon into his Meru Space. When he took a step forward, he suddenly vanished from the world.
…
Heartbreak Mountain was extremely tall as it towered into the clouds.
However, the Heartbreak Mountain today was devoid of birds and ferocious beasts. The undulating mountain range was blooming with Tongtian blood light. The vast and boundless mountain range had actually left the ground and was floating between heaven and earth.
A blood-red door opened halfway up the mountain, and the sound of ghosts crying and gods howling could be heard from the door. It made people feel as if their souls were about to be destroyed.
Rumble!
Blood energy surged for thirty thousand kilometers as blood lotuses bloomed all over the sky. Blazing immortal light blotted out the sky and blotted out the sky. In the distant horizon, crimson immortal light bloomed around Ye Xuan. He strode across the sky, step by step, the blood lotuses behind him exploding one after another.
Thump — thump — thump!
It was like the beating of the war drums of slaughter, like the nine heavens and the rivers of stars rolling in reverse. With every step Ye Xuan took, the world trembled and showed faint signs of cracking.
"My dear disciple, congratulations on ascending to immortality in the mortal world. Today, we will have an end as master and disciple!"
Within the Blood Sea Battlefield, the endless sea of blood was overturning the sky, and millions of souls were wailing. The Origin Spirit held the bronze scripture in his hand as he stood above the sea of blood. He looked at Ye Xuan through the Blood Sea Battlefield, and his voice was ancient and hoarse.
