195: Chapter 194 Stepping into the Boundary Sea, Searching for the Martial Venerable

"The Western Domain..."

Ye Xiu fell silent.

Compared to the three Immortal Venerables of the Southern Domain, Emperor Teng, who possessed at least the cultivation of a Half-Step Emperor in the Western Domain, was naturally far more dangerous.

But if he did not take the risk to go, he feared his cultivation would never be able to progress.

Moreover, the Eastern Emperor had some understanding of that person back then, and had even said that as long as one found a certain corpse, one could request Emperor Teng to take action and collect the complete Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

Perhaps it was worth a try.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu cupped his hands, bid farewell to the Human Emperor, and returned directly to the Main World.

He entered the Ghost Realm.

"Eastern Emperor, stop playing dead. Speak."

The waters of the Black River churned. A Blood Coffin appeared above the Black River.

"Young man, not bad. My precious daughter is quite beautiful and moving. Have you come to propose marriage?"

"Uh..." Ye Xiu was instantly speechless.

Is this Eastern Emperor a clown? So old and indecent.

After a light cough, he spoke: "I have come this time in the hope that you, Senior Eastern Emperor, could tell me about Emperor Teng."

"Emperor Teng... given your current cultivation, it is indeed time for you to head to the Boundary Sea."

The Eastern Emperor pondered for a long time before continuing: "Regarding Emperor Teng, I do not wish for you to go there now."

"Why?"

"Emperor Teng holds a grudge against our world."

"Huh?"

"After my father entered the Boundary Sea back then, he clashed with Emperor Teng. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and eighty percent of the Supreme Realm experts perished forever during that period."

"Just because of this? That is why Emperor Teng holds a grudge against our people?"

"It is not just that. Although Emperor Teng and my father did not determine a victor back then, both sides suffered far too many casualties, and even those closest to them were almost all wiped out."

"Fighting to such an extent... what kind of grudge or hatred is that?"

"A Dao struggle. Back then, both sides believed that as long as they defeated the other, they could ascend to the realm of the [Taboo Emperor]. Unfortunately, they were wrong."

The Eastern Emperor sighed, clearly recalling that tragic era.

Ye Xiu was silent for a long time before asking: "You said last time that as long as I found a certain corpse for Emperor Teng, he would hand over the Incomplete Manual of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra. Is that true?"

"Naturally, it is true."

"Please, Senior, tell me."

"Telling you is fine, but do you really want to make contact with Emperor Teng? You might die."

"As long as your information is true, Emperor Teng will definitely not attack me before seeing the corpse. Moreover... with my strength, if I want to leave, it should not be difficult."

"Confidence is a good thing in a young man. Very well, that corpse is in the Land of No Law, a cursed Domain. When I returned from The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea back then, I passed by there and nearly died."

The Eastern Emperor did not hide anything and described that area in detail.

"Is that corpse really that important to Emperor Teng?" Ye Xiu frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.

"I do not know. My father told me about it back then. As for the situation with the corpse, I am not too clear on it either, but it is definitely very important to Emperor Teng."

A corpse... Emperor Teng... the Land of No Law... and it was on the way back from The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

Could there be some Karma in all this?

A flash of doubt crossed Ye Xiu's eyes. Matters within the Boundary Sea were gradually becoming clearer as his own strength increased.

But knowing only half of it was truly frustrating.

Looking at the Eastern Emperor, after pondering for a long time, Ye Xiu cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you, Senior, for informing me. Farewell."

"Sigh, young man, do not be in such a rush to leave. I have one more request."

Seeing Ye Xiu making a move to leave, the Eastern Emperor quickly called out to stop him.

"Senior, please speak. If I, your Junior, can help, I will certainly not refuse."

"It is nothing major. When I returned to the Boundary Sea back then, I buried an item in the Land of No Law. If you, my young friend, are going to the Land of No Law, I hope you can take it for me while you are there."

"The Land of No Law is too dangerous. I fear I cannot help you with this favor, Senior."

Ye Xiu refused without even thinking.

What a joke.

Entering the Land of No Law was extremely risky. Even with battle prowess comparable to the Venerable Realm, he dared not step in casually.

The greatest danger there was getting lost.

Without a correct map, one would likely be lost in the Land of No Law forever.

"Hehe... no matter. Young friend, take this. You might find it useful later." The Eastern Emperor did not get angry at Ye Xiu's refusal. As the Blood Coffin vibrated, a blood bead condensed and emerged.

"What is this?"

Ye Xiu took the blood bead, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully for a while, but could not make heads or tails of it.

"A little trinket. It can resist curses. Consider it the dowry I am preparing for my daughter in advance."

The Eastern Emperor laughed heartily. After speaking, he dove straight into the river water, giving Ye Xiu absolutely no chance to refuse.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu said nothing. After casually tucking the blood bead into his robes, he entered the River of Time once again.

At the source of the River of Time, the Human Emperor looked at Ye Xiu, who had returned, greeted him with a smile, and did not stop him.

Ye Xiu also did not say much. After nodding, he continued on toward the direction of the Boundary Sea.

Layer upon layer of Domains were in dead silence.

On the coast of the Eastern Domain of the Boundary Sea, it seemed an unimaginable great war had occurred in the early years.

The Domains near the entire coastline were covered by a power with destructive attributes that lingered for a long time.

Normally, within a Domain, even if heaven and earth were overturned and all living beings were wiped out, as long as the Origin of the Domain remained, new life would eventually be born after countless years.

But this place was different.

The power with destructive attributes was like a maggot attached to bones.

It parasitized these Domains forever. Although it did not destroy the Origin of the Domains, it was constantly affecting the birth of living beings at every moment.

Swoosh...

Ye Xiu's speed was very fast. But compared to the vast and boundless Boundary Sea, this speed was merely a lonely boat in the ocean.

"Last time I came with Xing Mu, Martial Venerable had taken root in the Eastern Domain. It seems I must find a place to learn more about the situation."

As for matters in the Western Domain, he was in no rush. After chatting with Martial Venerable and making full preparations, it would not be too late to go then.

As for whether Martial Venerable would be friendly, judging by the appearance of the other Supreme Realm experts of the Main World when they saw him, it was highly probable that he would be friendly.

After all, he still had the identity of someone suspected to be the Reincarnation of the Lord of Guixu.
