142: Chapter 141 The Deal with the Divine Altar Consciousness, The Corpses of the Burial Emperor Star

"Is this what you're talking about?" Ye Xiu took out the golden orb and toyed with it in his hand.

Within this orb, a faint, instinctive consciousness existed.

The entire sphere seemed to be a product condensed from the power of the Dao.

It could indeed be considered a supreme treasure.

The moment the golden orb was brought out, the Altar's consciousness spoke: "That is fake. The real prototype of the Heavenly Dao is still with me."

"Fake?"

Crack...

Ye Xiu applied a little force, and the golden orb in his hand instantly turned into powder.

The Old Emperor, standing to the side, had a momentary look of shock on his wrinkled face upon hearing the words of the Altar's consciousness, then he angrily said: "You lied to me."

"So what if I lied to you?"

"You..."

The Old Emperor was furious.

But even so, he had no way to deal with it. After all, the Altar was indestructible, and the power of the Immortal could not shake it at all.

"Trash."

After the Altar's consciousness cursed, it ignored the furious Old Emperor.

After a few seconds of silence, it continued speaking to Ye Xiu: "The prototype of the Heavenly Dao is extremely precious. It is a necessary item for advancing to the Supreme Realm and is a supreme treasure that only appears in the deepest part of the Chaos."

"In other words, to advance to the Supreme Realm, one must have the prototype of the Heavenly Dao?"

Ye Xiu's expression shifted.

As his cultivation base improved, this world was gradually revealing its mysterious veil to him.

However, having not yet reached the Supreme Realm, that veil covering the world could never be completely lifted.

For example, this Chaos World.

It was extremely mysterious, as if it were the origin of everything.

But how did this endless Chaos come into existence?

Besides that, who passed down the lineage of the Heaven and Earth Law?

Was the first entity to achieve the [Supreme Realm] still alive?

Was it the same person as the Cultivator who created the Main World?

Where did they go?

The Boundary Sea?

Or The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea?

All of this was like a giant web, making it difficult for people to understand.

Seeing that the Altar's consciousness did not answer, Ye Xiu decided to try another tactic: "Xing Mu and Sword Lord Li Si have both awakened. I became their experimental subject, practiced the Incomplete Manual of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra, and my body encountered huge trouble."

The meaning of this sentence was very clear: The Imperial Court is plotting against me, and we have a common enemy.

"As I thought."

The Altar's consciousness spoke, its tone clearly softening: "No wonder there is immortal power in your body. So you practiced that incomplete sutra. It is a pity that the incomplete Heavenly Emperor Sutra cannot lead to true Immortal Ascension."

"It seems you have inherited many of the Human Emperor's memories." Ye Xiu looked at the Altar, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

The Altar's consciousness did not continue on this topic.

It wanted freedom.

And the Altar left behind by the Human Emperor had trapped it for countless years.

In this world that could not conceive anything above the Immortal, this Altar was the most resilient barrier.

It had no time to wait any longer.

The young man before it was its only hope for escaping.

"Besides the prototype of the Heavenly Dao, I can also tell you about other Incomplete Manuals of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra. As long as you break the Altar, I can help you collect the complete Heavenly Emperor Sutra."

"You know about other Incomplete Manuals of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra?"

"Naturally."

"Tell me about it first. What if you are lying to me?"

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

It was likely true that this Altar's consciousness knew about other Incomplete Manuals.

As for collecting the complete Heavenly Emperor Sutra, that was nonsense.

Even the Human Emperor was almost beaten to death by someone.

A remnant consciousness did not have the qualifications to snatch the Incomplete Manuals of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra from the Boundary Sea.

"Cooperation leads to mutual benefit. There are several forces in the Boundary Sea. If you can obtain the support of that person, collecting the Heavenly Emperor Sutra will not be difficult."

"Which person?"

"It cannot be spoken of."

The Altar's consciousness was very wary and did not say the name.

Instead, it explained: "The Human Emperor was severely injured back then by that person's methods. If you can obtain that person's support, you might not need to use force to resolve the issue of the other two Incomplete Manuals of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra."

"Two volumes? In other words, the person you are talking about also has one volume in their hands?"

"Yes. To gain that person's support, you need a bargaining chip, and I have that chip."

"Just you?"

Ye Xiu didn't believe it.

The Altar's consciousness did not prove anything.

After a long silence, it spoke solemnly: "An address, plus the prototype of the Heavenly Dao, in exchange for my freedom."

Ye Xiu was about to speak, but the Altar's consciousness interrupted: "Newcomer, I know you want to trick me into talking, but some things carry Karma. Are you really prepared?"

"Heh... Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Ye Xiu ultimately did not ask further. After all, he hadn't even broken into the Supreme Realm yet. If he knew too much, he might be sensed.

This invisible danger was not worth the gain.

After all, putting himself in danger just for curiosity was very foolish.

Looking at the bewildered Old Emperor on the side, Ye Xiu said: "You should leave first. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

The Old Emperor nodded.

Today had completely subverted his worldview.

The Boundary Sea, the Main World, the Other Shore... Everything felt like a dream. The Immortal Realm, which he originally thought was invincible, was something that might put him in danger of being silenced just by hearing about it at this moment.

With a step, he instantly vanished.

With the departure of the Old Emperor, a golden barrier instantly isolated the underground world.

"Alright, I won't waste words. The deal is fine, but I need to see your sincerity."

"In the Beidou Domain, on the Burial Emperor Star, there is a corpse. This information can be used to trade for an Incomplete Manual of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra from that person. If you can bring that corpse back directly, that person will definitely help you obtain the remaining Incomplete Manuals."

The Altar's consciousness didn't waste words either and directly revealed this secret.

"Burial Emperor Star?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. Immortal power surged in his hand, and he slapped the Altar.

Crack...

The Altar shook.

A small crack split open from it.

"Enough! Stop destroying the Altar."

Seeing that Ye Xiu wanted to attack again, the Altar's consciousness hurriedly stopped him.

Then, it severed its consciousness, separating the part that had self-awakened from the Human Emperor's intent.

Roar...

A silent roar sounded in the Altar.

Clearly, severing consciousness was not an easy thing.

Ye Xiu looked at the situation in the Altar and thought a little higher of the Altar's consciousness.

In order not to be discovered by the Human Emperor, this Altar's consciousness abandoned 90% of its own intent, letting it re-become the Human Emperor's resurrection coin. It could be considered a heroic act of cutting off one's arm to survive.

In the dark red magma world, a phantom slowly drifted out from the Altar.

"Alright, you are free. Give me the prototype of the Heavenly Dao." Ye Xiu looked at the gradually solidifying phantom and demanded it directly.

The phantom did not break the agreement.

A golden orb, exactly the same as the previous one, condensed in its hand.

"This is the prototype of the Heavenly Dao. It is condensed from Chaos Qi and contains countless Dao auras. You can verify it."

After taking the orb, Ye Xiu put it away directly.

He looked at the phantom with a hint of threat in his eyes: "We are in the same boat. If you trick me, it will only make you die faster."

The phantom looked at Ye Xiu.

After a few seconds of silence, it smiled: "From now on, I am called New Life. If you want to find me in the future, go to the deepest part of the Chaos. There are mountains of immortals and birds singing and flowers fragrant."

Having said that, it vanished.

The deepest part of the Chaos? And mountains of immortals, birds singing, and flowers fragrant...

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly. He couldn't be bothered with this guy who called himself New Life. He took a step and returned directly to the lounge in the main hall.

Currently, he had quite a few bargaining chips.

He only needed to use the Immortal Ascension Method and the Heaven and Earth Law to break into the Supreme Realm from both sides, and then he could go to the Ancient Land of Samsara again.

As long as he completed the deal with the Ominous Malice, he could get the method to go to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

After all, The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea was very likely the source of all the turmoil.

If he wanted to figure some things out, he had to go to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea to know.

Besides that, the corpse in the Burial Emperor Star of the Boundary Sea was also a bargaining chip.

The powerhouse who could severely injure the Human Emperor was likely the legendary [Status of the Red Dust Immortal].
