395: Re-entering the desolate wasteland! A bizarre discovery!

After hearing Ye Chuxue's words, you were suddenly stunned where you stood.

Your mind was still lingering in the Canglan Realm from long ago, forgetting that the current you was no longer the weak person you used to be.

The current you is a Cultivator who possesses the Chaos Body and has achieved a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The current you is a Prodigy who possesses an ultimate dao emperor weapon and controls the Bloodline Divine Ability of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon.

"You are right, Chuxue, what you said makes perfect sense!"

"Let's go, let us meet that Peerless War King again!"

At this moment, you suddenly recalled your encounter in the Barren Deathland during a previous simulation.

You recalled the bright red heart and the words that heart had spoken.

Weiyang Immortal Domain, one of the strongest War Kings under the Human Emperor, the Peerless War King!

Back then, you were very far from the Weiyang Immortal Domain, so you ignored this matter.

But now, you have established your own power in the Vast Immortal Domain, bringing you one step closer to the Weiyang Immortal Domain.

"Peerless War King?"

Upon hearing this name, Ye Chuxue looked at you blankly.

"Who is the Peerless War King?"

Hearing Ye Chuxue's question, you were momentarily unsure how to respond.

You told Ye Chuxue that when you were still in the Canglan Realm, you accidentally strayed into the Barren Deathland and met the Peerless War King inside.

You told Ye Chuxue that you were also unclear about who the Peerless War King was; he merely kept proclaiming himself the Peerless War King, hailing from the Weiyang Immortal Domain.

"Weiyang Immortal Domain?"

"Why would a War King from the Weiyang Immortal Domain appear in a Forbidden Ground in the Canglan Realm?"

Ye Chuxue was completely baffled, unable to figure out what connection existed between the Weiyang Immortal Domain and the Canglan Realm.

...

A few days later, you arrived at the outskirts of the Barren Deathland.

"Think carefully, once we enter, there will be no turning back!"

You looked at Ye Chuxue and spoke solemnly.

Hearing this, Ye Chuxue responded with a confident smile.

"Let's go!"

As her voice fell, you rushed into the black mist.

When you opened your eyes again, you found that you had already arrived inside the Barren Deathland.

Looking at the familiar scene before you, you felt momentarily dazed.

Despite so many years passing in the outside world, the interior of this Barren Deathland remained completely unchanged.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, you discovered that your Realm was suppressed to the Immortal Realm, not the Nascent Soul Realm.

Beside you, Ye Chuxue also cast a doubtful look your way.

"Didn't we agree it would be the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"When I came in before, it truly was the Nascent Soul Stage!"

You told Ye Chuxue that after so many years, coupled with the recovery of Immortal Qi in the Canglan Realm, the Law of the Barren Deathland might have changed.

"The Immortal Realm is fine too; at least many of our methods won't be restricted."

"Follow me!"

You led Ye Chuxue and headed toward a direction deep within the Barren Deathland.

You remembered that the bright red heart was held by a Seal inside a bronze ancient coffin, and that bronze ancient coffin was atop a dead mountain.

As you and Ye Chuxue walked across this desolate land, you quickly realized something.

You were shocked to find that, up until now, neither you nor Ye Chuxue had become lost in the Barren Deathland.

You remembered clearly that when you first entered the Barren Deathland, you quickly became lost within it, turning into a walking corpse, until you reached the front of the bronze ancient coffin and were startled awake by the sound of the heart beating inside the coffin.

After much thought, the only thing that could explain all this was the increase in your strength.

Over the years, you had not only seen a great improvement in your Realm, but also significant advancements in your Divine Soul and Physique.

After an unknown amount of time passed, you saw a tall dead mountain in the distance.

You pointed toward the dead mountain in the distance and spoke.

"That's the mountain; that heart is right there!"

Hearing this, Ye Chuxue looked toward the dead mountain you were pointing at.

"It doesn't look far; we should arrive quickly!"

Subsequently, you walked toward the dead mountain.

However, to Ye Chuxue's shock, while the dead mountain looked close, the actual journey was incredibly long.

As you walked, you seemed to lose the concept of time.

You didn't know how long you had been inside the Barren Deathland—perhaps a year, perhaps ten years.

In this numb state, you finally arrived at the dead mountain.

Soon, you saw the bronze ancient coffin.

"Why does this feel familiar?"

Ye Chuxue looked at the bronze ancient coffin before her, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

At the same time, you carefully examined the bronze ancient coffin before you.

You saw that the bronze ancient coffin was firmly locked to nine surrounding bronze pillars by nine massive bronze chains.

Suddenly, Ye Chuxue's eyes widened, and she spoke in shock.

"Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm!!!"

"The configuration of this bronze ancient coffin is very similar to the bronze ancient coffin in the Heavenly Emperors Mausoleum within the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm!"

Hearing Ye Chuxue say this, you finally realized it.

In the Heavenly Emperors Mausoleum, that bronze ancient coffin was also locked by nine bronze chains and suspended in the Void Realm.

You looked at the bronze ancient coffin before you, your mind racing.

You wondered if there was any connection between the bronze ancient coffin in front of you and the one in the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

"Could it be that the heart you mentioned belongs to the Heavenly Emperor?"

At this moment, Ye Chuxue suddenly voiced a bold conjecture.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed by you.

"That's wrong!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is a person from the Vast Immortal Domain, and the Peerless War King is a person from the Weiyang Immortal Domain; they are not from the same Immortal Realm!"

"Furthermore, the Peerless War King likely died during the period of the Weird outbreak, while the Heavenly Emperor likely died before the Weird outbreak!"

After you stated your opinion, Ye Chuxue immediately refuted it.

"Not necessarily. The Heavenly Emperor was from the same era as the Lord of Taiyin."

Ye Chuxue told you that the Lord of Taiyin ultimately died at the hands of the Eerie Clan!

Hearing Ye Chuxue say this, you suddenly felt a jumble of thoughts in your mind.

You felt that these matters seemed difficult to connect, yet there was a faint thread of connection between them in the dark.

Dong!!!

The next second, a powerful heartbeat emanated from the bronze ancient coffin.

Dong!!!

Dong dong!!!

...

Following the first sound, heartbeats rang out continuously afterward.

"Immortals have died, demons have perished, yet I still exist!"

"Me? Who exactly am I?"
