You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Ye Ling?

Following the direction pointed by Old Sun, he heard a rustling sound at the other end of the bamboo forest. He quickly summoned the shadow of the Human Emperor Seal and hung it over his head.

Then he raised his left hand and pressed down the mask on his face, and took a few steps back calmly, waiting until Ye Ling's figure disappeared nearby.

Liu Yuntian then began to move, following behind slowly, with the shadow of the Human Emperor Seal on his head, perfectly concealing his own aura.

As long as he is not discovered in person, no one can detect his existence thanks to the cover-up of the Human Emperor Seal.

“This scene seems familiar.”

Elder Sun stroked his chin, a look of nostalgia on his face, and said softly: "Thousands of years ago, I, an old man, also relied on the characteristics of the Human Emperor Seal to sneak around the treasure houses of various sects like this."

Hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was sneaking around because he was afraid of scaring Ye Ling away. How could that be the same as being a thief?

But he ignored Elder Sun and followed Ye Ling with full concentration. He followed Ye Ling until he came to a lake and stopped.

Ye Ling looked around cautiously for a while, and when he found nothing unusual, he dived into the lake without hesitation.

Liu Yuntian narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion: "The secret realm is in the lake?"

The traveler was silent for a while, as if he was communicating with the swordsman. After a while, he replied: "It should be around here. There was no lake here tens of thousands of years ago."

"Tens of thousands of years ago?!" Liu Yuntian was horrified, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart, "After such a long time, can the secret realm still exist?!"

This situation made him feel helpless and disappointed, as if he was being teased. After all, so much time had passed, and this place had changed dramatically. What was the difference between this and looking for a sword on a boat?

If Ye Ling had not already entered the lake, Liu Yuntian might have turned around and left cursing.

However, since Ye Ling chose to enter, it means that there must be precious treasures hidden here!

After all, every son of luck is an excellent treasure hunter.

Seeing the waves disturbed by Ye Ling gradually calm down, he quickly came to where Ye Ling had stood before and dived into the lake without hesitation.

With a "splash!", Liu Yuntian dived into the lake like a nimble fish.

The lake bottom was not deep, and he could vaguely see the bottom of the lake as soon as he entered the water. However, what surprised him was that the lake was not big, but after he got down, he could not see Ye Ling at all, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Just when Liu Yuntian was puzzled, the traveler hurriedly reminded him: "That green stone tablet is the entrance, just put your palm on it!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuntian immediately held his breath and swam towards the green stone tablet with one hand in a doggy paddle. The moment his palm touched the green stone tablet, the whole world suddenly changed.

The surroundings that were originally filled with lake water disappeared without a trace in an instant, and were replaced by a wide cliff platform.

What was even more surprising was that there wasn't even a trace of water stains on his body, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

What appeared before my eyes was a cave dug out on the cliff. It was pitch black inside and I couldn't see the environment and layout inside at all.

But there was always close combat, and the sound of weapons clashing came from inside. It was obvious that Ye Ling was breaking through the level.

"Besides this cave, are there any other valuable things anywhere else?"

After a while, the traveler replied, "No, there is something only in this cave. After the great man passed away, he sealed himself and his servants here. If there is something, maybe they are carrying it with them."

"Maybe?" Liu Yuntian frowned and asked doubtfully, "Hasn't the swordsman come here once?"

The traveler nodded, "He was indeed here, but the master inside did not leave any legacy. Instead, it was his servant, a slave who used a spear, who left behind the legacy of spearmanship."

"A swordsman is someone who uses a sword. It's useless for him to inherit the spearmanship after going through so much trouble. So he just watched from outside for a while and then left."

The traveler's voice suddenly stopped, and after a while he continued, "But the tomb owner wields a knife. If you can get his arm, it can just replace your previous arm."

At this point, the traveler added, "The owner of this secret realm was a powerful person at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage. Are you surprised?"

Liu Yuntian sneered and said disdainfully: "The one I used before was also at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. What's so surprising about it?"

The traveler smiled and said nothing.

But Elder Sun interrupted and said, "Kid, you may not know that this is the Spiritual Transformation Stage from 100,000 years ago."

Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched, and he asked helplessly: "What's the matter? Did it marinate for too long?"

Elder Sun shook his head, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes, and said: "One hundred thousand years ago, the swordsman was the enemy of the whole world. He destroyed the world with one sword and cut off the inheritance of the entire cultivation world. There were almost no immortal cultivators in Qiyang Continent, which also led to the loss of many powerful skills."

He sighed and continued, "Only those who left their inheritance in advance have been able to survive."

"A peak Spiritualization Stage warrior from 100,000 years ago can beat two current Void Refinement Stage warriors with one hand! And it's effortless!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuntian opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, and said, "Is it so exaggerated? He beat two people of a higher level? And with one hand? It's just a generational break. Since there is still inheritance passed down, how could there be such a big gap?" There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.

Old Sun pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Liu Yuntian the truth: "It wasn't just once..." He took a deep breath and said slowly: "The swordsman also did it once..." After that, he shook his head helplessly.

Liu Yuntian widened his eyes, too shocked to speak.

"So the current generation of immortal cultivators is getting worse than the previous one?"

Elder Sun nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, the immortal gates and holy places were spread all over the Qiyang Continent, and there were many people in the Refining Stage and Mahayana Stage. But now, the six holy places have taken over the entire Qiyang Continent, and there are only a handful of people in the Mahayana Stage."

"..."

As expected, there is no normal person who can get into the Human Emperor Seal.

Liu Yuntian estimated the time and felt that Ye Ling should have finished cleaning up, so he walked slowly towards the cave.

The sound of fighting inside had completely disappeared, and there was no sound of anyone rummaging around.

Liu Yuntian curled the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace, thinking to himself that now should be Ye Ling's time to reap the rewards. Since he was not looking for anything, he must be accepting inheritance or entering some stage of enlightenment.

That’s how it’s played out in TV dramas!

As long as we go in now, chopping off Ye Ling's head will be as easy as taking something from a bag!
