68: I am immortal and can face the powerful Mahayana masters head-on!

These old gho sts in the Blood Core Realm were already here to cause trouble for Li Yan.

Li Yan's Core Formation had triggered a celestial phenomenon, and even dozens of miles away, the clouds formed after Core Formation could be seen.

There would certainly be more and more Cultivators attracted by the phenomenon generated by Li Yan's Core Formation.

If he could trick these greedy Cultivators into the divine tomb and use the ancient god's hand to kill the Blood Core Realm Cultivators one by one, that would be excellent.

Watching the group of people being relentlessly pursued by Bloodline Corpses, Li Yan muttered,

“The more that die, the better; otherwise, if these old gho sts team up against me, the risk is too great.”

He could see a large number of Bloodline Corpses chasing Immortal Master Shouyi and Fellow Daoist Wuwei.

And the explosive power of these Bloodline Corpses was no less than the full-strength attack of a Peak Blood Core Realm Cultivator!

Bang ~ Bang bang!

The vibrations from the explosion, the visible shockwaves, caused Li Yan's chest Qi and blood to boil.

Such terrifying power consecutively killed six Elders from the four great Sects of Mi Mountain City.

Li Yan observed from the shadows, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

“It's a good thing someone is clearing the way for me; otherwise, dealing with these Bloodline Corpses would waste a lot of my potions.”

These corpse groups could be dealt with.

Li Yan could also slowly deal with them using Blood Shadow, but it would be troublesome and easily benefit others.

Rather than force himself, it was better to let Fellow Daoists go first.

Until the sound of explosions grew more distant, it also meant that the group of Elders had been driven into the interior of the divine tomb by the corpse horde.

After Li Yan confirmed there was no danger, he led Corpse Puppet Su Mo onto the flesh-and-blood bridge.

Stepping on the bridge, there was a sticky feeling, like stepping on muddy ground.

Beneath Li Yan's feet were countless twisted faces; this bridge was piled up from the bones and flesh of Immortal Cultivators.

Holding the blood glass treasure lotus lantern, sixteen shadow clones guarded Li Yan from front and back, with Corpse Puppet Su Mo following closely beside him.

When Li Yan walked to the middle of the bridge, he saw the six severely wounded Elders from Tianyan Sect and Huangdao Sect.

They lay on the ground, barely alive, as several scarlet arms extended from the bridge's body.

The six Elders weakly raised their hands: “Sav…save me.”

Li Yan squatted down, watching these Elders being entangled by the flesh-and-blood arms.

These six injured Elders were already on their last breath.

Upon seeing Li Yan, they suddenly became excited, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, their eyes widening.

“You are?!”

“Could it be that you are that Golden Core Cultivator?”

“This is… Golden Core!!”

The six old gho sts, who had only one breath left, were about to die, yet they still showed greedy expressions.

They wished they could disembowel Li Yan and dig out his Golden Core.

“Fellow Daoist, quick, save me!”

They thought Li Yan was there to save them, but what was the truth?

Li Yan silently squatted down, removed the Storage Rings from the hands of these six Elders, then calmly walked away, standing by and watching as the bridge swallowed them.

The six Elders weakly stretched out their hands, but the thousand blood-red hands of the bloody bridge still pulled them into the bridge's interior.

These Elders could not make any sound, silently merging with the bridge.

There must be many valuable things in the rings of those six old farts.

Li Yan chuckled, stepped over their heads, and continued walking into the divine tomb.

The bridge had a total of seven hundred seventy-seven steps, a bridge made of Immortal Cultivator's flesh and blood, spanning the middle of the underground rift valley, connecting to the divine tomb on the opposite side.

Li Yan looked up and saw ancient immortal script he couldn't understand written on the stone pillars nearby.

The Magic Eye at his waist, however, read it out for him.

“The Imperial Dynasty of Fresh Blood, the resting place of ancient gods.”

“This kid is truly bold, daring to delve deeper into the divine tomb. This Venerable One is quite looking forward to him.”

Ember Immortal's inner voice echoed in Li Yan's mind.

Li Yan chuckled inwardly, having such an ancient Great Ascension Stage Immortal to act as his ancient text translator was truly excellent.

At least when others entered the divine tomb to search for treasures, they were completely clueless, unable to understand anything.

But he carried an ancient Magic Eye with him; he could point to anything he didn't understand.

Li Yan again looked around; those Bloodline Corpses had all been led away by the Elders, which instead made it easier for him to explore.

From time to time, he could still hear explosions from afar, and the evil creatures were all attracted there.

But just as Li Yan was about to explore his surroundings, he found a lone Bloodline Corpse kneeling before a tombstone.

Seeing that it was a lone corpse person, Li Yan raised his hand, intending to kill it.

But the corpse person mumbled, “I can't do anything… In the end, I can't save anyone.”

Upon hearing the corpse person murmuring to itself, Li Yan was momentarily stunned.

“Could it be that this corpse person still has some consciousness remaining?”

One must know that corpse people were Immortal Cultivators from tens of thousands of years ago.

Most corpse people had long since become walking dead, only knowing how to prostrate themselves before ancient gods.

But this corpse person was kneeling before a tombstone?

When Li Yan turned his gaze to it, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

【Contacting the corpse person will trigger the illusion side effect, entering the corpse person's illusion!】

Hmm?

Upon seeing 'illusion', Li Yan immediately became excited.

Because entering an illusion meant he could travel to the immortal cultivation era tens of thousands of years ago.

And through the side effect's transformation, things in the illusion would become real, allowing him to obtain treasures from the immortal cultivation era!

No need to say more, he must get it!

As Li Yan prepared to approach this ugly corpse person, Ember Immortal's inner voice sounded in his mind.

“This corpse person? She's still here?”

“I didn't expect the once magnificent Moonlit Sword Immortal to become like this.”

Ember Immortal's tone carried three parts triumph and seven parts melancholy.

Seeing an old acquaintance from yesteryear turn into an ugly corpse person now brought a sense of 'old friends gone, things changed'.

“I remember when Moonlit Sword Immortal single-handedly annihilated the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect; that battle was truly memorable.”

“Recalling that year, Onyx Moon Fairy, dressed in feather robes, armed with only a Moon Radiance Sword, single-handedly wiped out the entire Demon Shadow Sect.”

“This Venerable One was fortunate enough to witness that battle firsthand; the Sword Immortal of that generation truly lived up to her reputation.”

“Tens of thousands of years have passed, and time spares no one; Onyx Moon Fairy's peerless beauty also could not withstand the ravages of time.”

Upon hearing Ember Immortal's inner voice, Li Yan reached out and pressed his hand on the corpse person's shoulder.

Instantly.

His consciousness was dragged into Moonlit Sword Immortal's illusion.

【Host actively touched the illusion, triggering a side effect. You have entered Moonlit Sword Immortal's illusion.】

【Side effect turned positive: the Host is immortal and indestructible in the illusion!】

The moment he entered the illusion, the scene before Li Yan's eyes gradually changed from blurry to clear.

He fixed his gaze and saw a mountain Peak surrounded by Devilish Qi ahead, with several ancient immortal scripts written on the flags planted all over the mountainside.

“The words on these flags look a bit familiar.”

“Wait a minute? This looks like the words I saw in Broken Sword Valley, Demon Shadow Sect?”

In an instant, Li Yan suddenly woke up.

He had entered the illusion and arrived at Broken Sword Valley tens of thousands of years ago!

At that time, Broken Sword Valley had not yet been leveled.

Li Yan's gaze looked into the distance.

“This is Demon Shadow Sect, so that white-robed woman a few miles away is the master of the illusion, Moonlit Sword Immortal?”

“Wouldn't I be able to witness a duel between Great Ascension Stage Immortals and also gain some benefits?”

Speaking of gaining benefits, Li Yan was no longer sleepy.
