Could it be that the Old Man of Great Desolation was killed by the foreign brother that the toad mentioned?
Ye Chen was shocked.
The native living beings of Yin Xu could actually kill a Tribulation Stage almighty from the Spirit Realm. How could he not be shocked by such a method?
No.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind. If Chu Zhongtian and the rest were Tribulation Stage almighties, how could a mere Yin Xu stop them?
Ye Chen lifted his head to look at Chu Zhongtian as he thought to this point. He suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Chu, if I'm not wrong, I'm afraid you can't unleash your Tribulation Stage cultivation base, right?"
The moment that was said, the surroundings fell silent.
Ling Long, who was standing behind Chu Zhongtian earlier, suddenly had a change in her aura. Then, endless killing intent erupted as she locked onto Ye Chen.
Initially, Ye Chen was just testing her. Unexpectedly, her reaction verified Ye Chen's guess.
Ye Chen was not afraid at all in the face of her monstrous killing intent. He remained sitting calmly as if he was not affected at all.
"Ling Long, step back. Your methods are useless against Fellow Ye."
Chu Zhongtian smiled faintly, "After all, Fellow Ye is Fellow Netherworld's friend. Back then, Fellow Netherworld was famous among the demons in the Spirit Realm. How can his friend be underestimated?"
Hearing that, Ling Long immediately dispersed the killing intent on her body and retreated to the side. She regained her gentle temperament from before.
Meanwhile, the way Ye Chen looked at Chu Zhongtian was different again.
This person was truly extraordinary. He even knew about the Patriarch of Netherworld's background. Thinking to this point, he gradually understood that perhaps this was the reason why the other party valued him so much.
Chu Zhongtian waved his sleeve and poured a cup of tea for Ye Chen. He said while smiling, "Fellow Ye, you're indeed perceptive. In fact, it's not just me. Even Qianqiu Wuhen can't unleash his Tribulation Stage cultivation base.
"Including the one in the Heavenly Tomb and the fallen Old Man of Great Desolation."
He suddenly sighed softly, "To be honest, we're only at the Tribulation Stage, but we can only unleash the cultivation base of a perfected Void Refinement Stage."
"I'm afraid it's because of the Yin Xu Forbidden Area, right?"
Ye Chen squinted slightly and smiled wryly, "To be precise, you guys ended up like this because you coveted the immortal soul and immortal body suppressed in Yin Xu!"
As his voice fell, the entire valley fell silent.
Chu Zhongtian, who was initially calm and composed, had a slightly cold look in his eyes. He stared at Ye Chen for a few seconds before laughing out loud. "Hahaha, indeed, nothing can be hidden from Fellow Ye."
His smile seemed to be bitter. "To tell you the truth, 10,000 years ago, the Spiritual Realm didn't have a passage to the Immortal Realm, and we couldn't sense the Ascension Platform either. We could only watch as our lifespans ran out and our 10,000 years of cultivation turned to waste …"
Ye Chen secretly nodded upon hearing that.
Ten thousand years ago, it was the era of the Ancient Celestial Realm. The master of the Ancient Celestial Realm, Celestial Emperor Daozhen, rejected immortals who ascended from the Lower Realm, so he didn't set up an Ascension Platform. Thus, cultivators in the Lower Realm couldn't sense the Ascension Platform, so it was difficult for them to ascend to the Celestial Realm.
Only a small number of courageous people were willing to use their ten thousand years of cultivation as a bet to force their way into the space-time turbulence to find the passage to the Immortal World.
Later on, after Ye Chen went to the ancient immortal realm and reestablished the order of the Immortal World, he set up the Ascension Platform to open an opportunity for the lower realm to ascend.
Chu Zhongtian did not know what he was thinking and said slowly, "Just when we were in despair, an ancient immortal descended to the lower realm. Moreover, this ancient immortal was injured at that time."
Ancient immortal!
Ye Chen's eyes flickered when he heard that. It was almost the same as what he had guessed earlier.
"Many of us Tribulation Stage cultivators were bewitched by others in an attempt to steal the opportunity to ascend to immortality. We risked our lives to attack this ancient immortal, resulting in a great battle …"
Chu Zhongtian's expression was solemn, "The outcome was that more than half of the Tribulation Stage cultivators in the Spiritual Realm died. We survived, while this ancient immortal was injured. He had no choice but to turn to the lower realm to seek refuge …"
Ye Chen came to a realization, "So, this ancient immortal came to Earth by chance?"
"That's right!"
Chu Zhongtian glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "At that time, we didn't know where the ancient immortal went. However, we were worried that if we gave him a chance to recover, it would be our doomsday. Therefore, we searched for him at all costs.
"In the end, we found out that he came to Earth."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "However, when we came here, we found that an extremely talented expert had been born on Earth. The other party had a great battle with the ancient immortals, and in the end, he suppressed them in the Yin Ruins by himself."
Ye Chen blurted out, "Great Emperor Xuanyuan?"
Chu Zhongtian nodded lightly and said in admiration, "This person is too amazing. When we arrived on Earth, he had already left. He fought everywhere on the ancient starry sky path, sweeping through many stars in an attempt to solve the many hidden dangers for the living beings on Earth …"
"So, you guys entered the Yin Ruins later on."
Ye Chen secretly nodded, "You're trying to destroy the sealed ancient immortal completely? While eliminating all future troubles, you're also trying to steal the opportunity to become an immortal?"
"Haha …"
Chu Zhongtian laughed self-deprecatingly, "That was indeed what we were thinking at that time. However, when we approached this immortal soul, something unexpected happened …"
"This immortal soul actually split his demonic psyche and used it to control many of us, causing chaos in our camp and causing us to fight each other …"
At this point, he seemed to be unwilling to face the past, "The strangest thing was that this immortal soul used some kind of immortal technique to cause our cultivation base to plummet. After so many years, we fell from the Tribulation Stage all the way to the Void Refinement Stage …"
"Beating the Mortal World Technique!"
Ye Chen thought of this immortal technique almost immediately.
He could not help but say, "If that's the case, why don't you guys return to the Spirit Realm? Instead, you guys continue to stay in this world and get worse?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian shook his head and said, "We had the same thought back then. However, Great Emperor Xuanyuan seemed to have set up some kind of barrier in the Yin Ruins. We can only enter but not leave. In addition, there's a Realm Guardian. We can only sit and wait for death."
"Realm Guardian?" Ye Chen was surprised.
Chu Zhongtian glanced at him, "Great Emperor Xuanyuan is suspected to have become a saint. Before he left, he buried his body in the Yin Ruins. It's called the Emperor's Tomb, and the existence guarding the Emperor's Tomb is that foreign Realm Guardian.
"The Realm Guardian is ferocious and likes to eat souls. Anyone who dares to challenge its authority will become its food."
He sighed faintly, "Back then, Fellow Daoist Da Huang was unwilling to be imprisoned in the Yin Ruins, so he charged into the forbidden area to challenge the Realm Guardian without any regard for his life. In the end, his soul was destroyed."
He could not help but glance at Ye Chen as he said that, "I believe you've guessed that this Realm Guardian is that toad's brother!"
