181: Chapter 181 Immortal Stone is Difficult to Dig

It turned out that not only did Zhao Yi have no Karma behind his head, but it was also pitch black, as if he were carrying a patch of the night sky.

It was as if the entire world was rejecting him.

"This?"

One Who Listens to Emptiness swallowed hard.

"Sins?"

"No, this isn't the sin of slaughter; it's the sin of Heaven and Earth."

"My god, Ancestor Zhao, which Small World did you destroy?"

"Without the sin of world destruction, it's impossible to have such immense sin."

At the same time, One Who Listens to Emptiness breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this was a sin against Heaven and Earth; if it were the sin of slaughter, he would probably be thinking about running away.

He hadn't considered at all that the sin of Heaven and Earth was a deeper sin than the sin of slaughter.

What was killing without blinking compared to destroying a world?

But human psychology is just that strange.

Killing too many people is a sin that makes people afraid.

Destroying a world, on the other hand, is nothing; it only makes people feel that your Divine Abilities are vast.

Zhao Yi's eyes were filled with clear confusion.

Destroying a Small World?

When did he destroy one? How come he didn't know?

Approximate, however, was lost in thought.

It coiled in mid-air, shaking its head as it recited a Merit Mantra.

"Om, Bei, Mi, Da, La, Suo, Ha,"

"Reflect my true heart, reveal my true Karma."

After the mantra, the back of Approximate's head was different from both Zhao Yi's and One Who Listens to Emptiness's.

Golden light and sin were intertwined, like a Taiji diagram, rotating together behind its head.

"As I thought, Karma and sin are intertwined."

"It must be Qing..."

The words 'ling Golden Immortal' hadn't been spoken before Approximate forced itself to swallow them back down.

"Damn it, Master,"

Having followed Zhao Yi for a long time, Approximate had also learned a mouth full of foul language.

"Let's go back and smash the Qingling Realm."

"Son of a bitch, they actually dared to plot against us?"

"The sin of Heaven and Earth, how did it get added to us?"

Zhao Yi was very calm.

"Go back?"

"How do we go back?"

"With our current cultivation, can we transmrate through Chaos?"

"Besides, do you know the location of the Qingling Realm?"

There was one more sentence Zhao Yi didn't say.

He seriously suspected that this sin of Heaven and Earth came from digging up Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao of the Qingling Realm restrict Cultivators from digging up Spirit Stones?

It even gave him the title of Death Cultivator, with a tribulation at every step, and in the end even used a ultimate move like the Hundred Deaths Tribulation Realm to destroy Zhao Yi.

Because Spirit Stones are the Foundation of the Qingling Realm, digging up the Spirit Stones of the Qingling Realm is digging up its Foundation. Thus, it wasn't strange for the sin of Heaven and Earth to descend.

"One Who Listens to Emptiness, there won't be any tribulations for digging up Immortal Stones, right?"

"Tribulations?"

"What kind of tribulations could there be?"

One Who Listens to Emptiness heard every word Zhao Yi said, but he had no idea what they meant. Where was the Qingling Realm?

And transmrating through Chaos? Had Old Ancestor Zhao gone to the outer realms all these years?

One Who Listens to Emptiness lowered his head. Old Ancestor Zhao truly had vast Divine Abilities; he had to cling tightly to this thigh.

"It's fine as long as there are no tribulations."

"That... whoever you are..."

One Who Listens to Emptiness looked up with a fawning smile.

"Who?"

"Yes, you."

"There's nothing left for you to do here."

"Go back to the Lower Profound Sect first."

"Ah—"

One Who Listens to Emptiness was reluctant.

"Ancestor Zhao, this Disciple wishes to serve before the Ancestor..."

Zhao Yi took out the great sumeru treasure hoe.

"Serve what?"

"Serve me while I mine?"

"You're a Sect Head, do you have nothing to do at all?"

One Who Listens to Emptiness...

He withered. The Lower Profound Sect had suffered such a great catastrophe and almost been wiped out; how could there be nothing to do?

Rebuilding the mountain gate, comforting the Disciples...

Each and every matter was waiting for him to make a decision.

"Then this Disciple will head back to Xuan Mountain first?"

Zhao Yi waved his hand.

"Go back."

"The Lower Profound Sect is only a thousand miles from here, you'll be there in an instant. Come find me if there's an emergency."

Hearing this, One Who Listens to Emptiness was overjoyed.

"Yes, yes, yes, this Disciple understands."

What he feared was that "Zhao Yi" would disappear for ten thousand years again like before, almost becoming a legend of the Lower Profound Sect.

Once the Disciples of the Lower Profound Sect had left,

Approximate kept circling around Zhao Yi, three times to the left and three times to the right, nearly making Zhao Yi dizzy.

"Bastard, say what you have to say quickly, don't delay my mining."

Approximate...

"Master, are you really the Ancestor of the Lower Profound Sect?"

"What do you think?"

Approximate was dumbfounded. It had watched Zhao Yi achieve Immortal Ascension step by step in the Qingling Realm; how could he be the Ancestor of the Lower Profound Sect?

"Then why?"

Zhao Yi struck the mountain rock with his hoe, answering Approximate's question with action.

"Holy crap!"

"Master, don't tell me it's just to mine Immortal Stones?"

"Good grief, what kind of hobby is this?"

Zhao Yi...

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Come over here and tell me, which direction are the Immortal Stones in?"

"Master, are you really doing this for mining?"

Approximate hovered in mid-air, its dragon tail whipping with a whooshing sound, its dragon eyes full of disbelief.

Zhao Yi struck the mountain rock with his hoe, and sparks flew in all directions.

"My god, what kind of rock is this? It's actually this hard?"

Looking at the crystal-clear rock, Zhao Yi frowned. These Immortal Stones were harder to dig than he had imagined.

"Wait, this doesn't seem to be a Forbidden Magic Zone."

"But..."

Zhao Yi looked at the crystal-clear rock and fell silent.

After becoming a Human Immortal, he hadn't systematically studied any Immortal Arts, and he didn't even have a Cultivation Technique.

As for the Azure Spirit Scripture, it had reached its limit once Zhao Yi became a Human Immortal and was of no use at all.

Looking at Approximate circling above the Immortal Stone mine, Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.

Even if he didn't have Immortal Arts or Immortal Methods, how could Approximate not have any?

It had devoured most of the Golden Dragon Immortal's memories.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi rubbed his face and put on what he thought was his most gentle smile.

"Yue-ah~"

Approximate~

Its Immortal Art was immediately interrupted, and its face was full of terror.

Heaven help it, when had it ever seen Zhao Yi in this state?

"Ma-Master..."

"You don't really want to eat dragon liver, do you?"

"If it really comes to that, I'll cut some for you,"

"Please don't treat me with this attitude, I'm scared~"

Zhao Yi...

"Screw you!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I won't eat you. I just wanted to ask—"

"Do you have any Immortal Methods or Immortal Arts that can help with mining Immortal Stones?"

"Immortal Methods? Immortal Arts?"

"Just for that?"

Approximate's voice carried a hint of a sob.

"Phew, Master, you really scared me."

"Immortal Methods and Arts are easy to talk about; I have plenty here."

"Master, which one do you want to learn?"

Approximate said boastfully to Zhao Yi.

...

Nine Revolutions Mountain, Netherworld Hall.

Ten black shadows loomed in mid-air, appearing and disappearing.

A figure knelt below, trembling slightly.

"Li Ning, Sect Master of the Blood Slaughter Sect, greets the ten Hall Masters."

The figure looked up; it was the one-eyed old man whose Immortal avatar had been dispersed by Zhao Yi.

"Li Ning, you aren't at the Lower Profound Sect managing the Immortal Stone mine. Why have you returned?"

"Reporting to the Hall Masters, a change has occurred at the Lower Profound Sect."

"What change?"

It was unclear which Hall Master spoke, but their voice carried endless killing intent.

Li Ning immediately kowtowed and said,

"The Immortal Ancestor of the Lower Profound Sect has returned."

"As soon as he returned, he wiped out thousands of Cultivators from the Blood Slaughter Sect. Except for me, not a single Disciple survived; they have all fallen."

"The Lower Profound Sect's Immortal Stone mine is gone."

"What?"

The black shadow on the far right glowed with endless blue light, turning from illusory to solid as it revealed its true form.
