"Elder Merit, let me go with Ye Mo," Duanmu Zi said.
Hearing Elder Merit's words, Duanmu Zi felt a little strange.
"Ah Zi, you angered Elder Taiyi last time," Elder Merit said. "If you see him, I'm afraid he'll flip out again. You should stay here quietly and wait for Ye Mo to report the Dark Soul incident to Elder Taiyi. Then we'll return to the Contribution Hall to confirm the mission and reward you."
Elder Merit said with a straight face.
Duanmu Zi had indeed contradicted Elder Taiyi previously, but that was something that happened five years ago.
"Alright!"
Duanmu Zi nodded and sat down cross-legged. She could use Elder Merit's Immortal Martial Space to cultivate.
"Ye Mo, come with me!"
Elder Merit said. With a wave of his hand, he brought Ye Mo to the plaza of the Deity's Class.
"Something's wrong!"
Ye Mo frowned. The Dark Soul was such a big deal, yet Elder Merit didn't want Duanmu Zi to go with him. His current status wasn't as high as Duanmu Zi's.
From what had just happened, it was clear that Elder Merit was trying to send Duanmu Zi away.
"Let's go!"
Elder Merit said when he saw Ye Mo stop in the plaza.
"Elder Merit, why must we go see Elder Taiyi?"
Ye Mo frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss, especially when they mentioned that Zhou Hong was a Nether Soul of the Nether Soul Clan. The expression on Elder Merit's face changed. It wasn't shock, but panic.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with this Elder Merit.
"Elder Taiyi is the master of the Contribution Hall," Elder Merit said. "He's in control of all intelligence. Everything you know will eventually be passed on to him. The Dark Soul incident is of great importance. Elder Taiyi is a highly respected elder in the Elder's Hall, second only to the ten great elders. I'm bringing you to see him, but you're unwilling?"
Elder Merit said in shock.
"Of course I'm going. But I've never seen Elder Taiyi before. I think it's better if I go with Sister Duanmu."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Ye Mo, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me? "
Elder Merit could tell that Ye Mo was doubting him, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Truth be told, Elder Feat-Virtue, I'm not afraid of offending you. Zhou Hong is a nethersoul, and he can disguise himself as a student of the institute. If there are other nethersouls, it's not impossible for them to disguise themselves as scholars or elders."
Ye Mo's words implied that he suspected Elder Merit was also a Soul of the Nether.
"Hehe, do you really think that the Immortal Martial Academy is a place where dragons and snakes mingle? Even though the Nether Soul is able to disguise as a human and is unable to detect it at first, once one attains the Immortal King Realm, it won't be so easy to continue disguising oneself. "
The Merit Elder smiled.
"Why is that?"
Ye Mo asked in confusion.
"To reach the Immortal King Realm, one's Origin of Will has to be combined with the 10 Divine Marks," Elder Merit said. "The Nether Soul's Origin of Will is in the Nether Soul Realm. The moment he uses his strength, his identity will be exposed. Now that I'm a First Stage Immortal King, do you think I'm a Nether Soul?"
As he spoke, Elder Merit's body trembled. In an instant, an image of a space appeared behind him. There were towering mountains, dense forests, gurgling streams, and the sky was filled with light green Deity Qi. From the green Deity Qi alone, one could tell that Elder Merit's Origin of Will was in the Fourth Heaven of the Immortal World.
Upon reaching the Immortal King Realm, when the Origin of Will and the 10 Divine Marks were combined, the Divine Marks would be able to borrow the Source Power of Space endlessly. It could be said that if a warrior whose Origin of Will was in the Ninth Heaven reached the Immortal King Realm, their strength would be terrifying.
"Elder Merit, I've wronged you."
Ye Mo clasped his hands together. Perhaps he had been overthinking. He knew that to reach the Immortal King Realm, he had to combine the 10 Divine Marks with the Origin of Will. In the future, when he reached the Immortal King Realm, once he activated the Divine Marks, the image of the Dragon Realm would appear. Something like that couldn't be faked.
"It's reasonable for you to suspect me," Elder Merit said. "Let's go."
Elder Merit nodded. Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Taking Ye Mo with him, they walked toward the Elders' Palace. Soon, the two of them arrived at the palace that was as majestic as a mountain. The two of them walked up the stairs and stopped in front of the Elders' Palace.
"I'll go in first and see if Elder Taiyi is in the Elders' Palace," Elder Merit said.
After a while, he walked out of the Elders' Palace. Looking at Ye Mo, he said, "Elder Taiyi isn't in the Elders' Palace. Let's go to the Immortal Martial Space to find him."
Elder Merit tore open the space, and an ancient tunnel appeared. This tunnel led directly to another Immortal Martial Space. As long as one knew the coordinates, they could enter.
"Alright."
Ye Mo nodded and entered the tunnel. Since Elder Merit wasn't the Dark Soul, he didn't have to worry.
"The Dark Soul is very important. When you see Elder Taiyi, you have to explain everything to him."
When Elder Merit saw Ye Mo enter the tunnel, he followed behind him.
But the moment they entered the tunnel, Ye Mo sensed that something was wrong. Although there were spatial storms in the tunnel, there was also a dense black aura around the tunnel.
If Ye Mo was still a First Stage Immortal Sovereign, he might not have been able to sense it. But he was already an Eighth Stage Immortal Sovereign expert. When traveling between planes in the Immortal World, the black aura shouldn't appear in spatial tunnels.
"Elder Merit, are we really heading to Elder Taiyi's Immortal Martial Space?"
Ye Mo's suspicions rose again. He didn't move. Instead, he stopped in his tracks. The spatial storm around him swept over, but it was blocked by Elder Merit's spatial laws.
"That's right. Elder Taiyi's Immortal Martial Space is different from ours. It's a space he created himself."
Elder Merit's expression didn't change as he said, "We'll arrive in the space tunnel in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn."
Hearing that, Ye Mo's expression did not change, but his heart started to become cautious, his eyes constantly looking around.
Boom!
At that moment, the spatial laws that Elder Merit had placed on their bodies started to fluctuate. Elder Merit's expression changed as he said, "This is bad. We've encountered a spatial whirlpool that's rarely seen in 10,000 years. This kind of spatial whirlpool is dozens of times stronger than the spatial storms. Even I don't have the confidence to deal with a spatial whirlpool like this."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of gigantic black vortexes that resembled a whirlpool were twisting and twisting. The black vortexes were emitting a sinister, powerful, and violent aura at all times. Any Immortal Sage that was sucked in by them would be shredded into pieces immediately.
The black whirlpools were like the mouth of a giant beast. They swept toward them, as if they were going to devour the two of them.
