Zhong Yu’s change was obvious to Great Immortal Mi Lu, Murong Xingqiao, and the others, not to mention that such a phenomenon had occurred not long ago.
However, no one asked anything.
Seeing that Li Yu and Zhong Yu had no intention of saying anything, they understood tacitly and did not say a word.
“Xingqiao!” Li Yu suddenly walked in front of Murong Xingqiao. “Is there any information about the Heaven Shrouding Sect in your memories?”
Li Yu was well aware that Murong Xingqiao should have experienced at least three lifetimes. In the previous life, it was the Mystic Bird.
She controlled the Mystic Bird Palace and lived in the era before the last calamity of the Ancient Immortal Realm. She also personally experienced the Ancient Immortal Realm in the Cultivationless Age and was destroyed after the arrival of the seven demon gods.
In the end, it collapsed into many immortal realms.
Not only that, but the level of the world seemed to have decreased significantly. Be it the immortal energy or the rules of the world, the power of heaven and earth in the current Immortal Realm was far inferior to the former Ancient Immortal Realm.
To put it simply, it was like a disaster.
However, her first life was the Nine Heavens Dark Lady, one of the immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm’s initial era. However, her memories of this were already very vague, and only a small portion of it remained.
She vaguely remembered that she eventually died in a war between the gods in the Ancient Immortal Realm. It seemed to be the beginning of the end of the Ancient Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Court.
“Heaven Shrouding Door?”
She seemed to have heard of this name before, but that portion of his memories seemed to be blocked by some sort of power. No matter how she thought about it, she could not remember the exact details.
“I think I’ve heard of it, but I can’t remember anything!” Murong Xingqiao shook her head slightly, as if she was still trying to remember something.
Heaven Shrouding Door? She murmured softly.
On the other hand, Great Immortal Mi Lu and the others were puzzled. Clearly, they had never heard of this name. As for Zhong Yu, Li Yu had asked about it earlier, and she knew nothing about it.
“Forget it. You don’t have to be in a hurry to think about it. Once I return from the Burial Earth World, I’ll bring you to see the Heaven Shrouding Door. Perhaps you’ll remember something!” Li Yu said.
He knew that the Heaven Shrouding Door was definitely something from the Ancient Immortal Realm, so only Murong Xingqiao might know about it.
However, he was not in a hurry. Even if Murong Xingqiao could not remember, she would eventually understand where that mysterious door led to.
“Oh yes, Xingqiao, Big Qilin, bring Great Immortal Mi Lu back to the sect later!” Li Yu added.
He planned to head to the Burial Earth World next. Bringing Murong Xingqiao and the others along would be troublesome.
Murong Xingqiao’s current cultivation had not fully recovered to the peak of her previous life, nor had she truly recovered all the memories of the Nine Heavens Dark Lady.
It would probably be dangerous for her and the Qilin to enter the Burial Earth World.
If they were to stay on the Misty Immortal Island forever, they might as well return to the sect to cultivate. After all, that place was more suitable for cultivation.
As for Zhong Yu, her main body was a magic treasure. Even if she had already transformed into a human and possessed a physical body, she was so powerful that she would become Li Yu’s helper even in the Burial Earth World.
Furthermore, she was a magic treasure. Now that her power was unsealed, she could freely switch between her body and the Eastern Emperor Bell. It was more convenient for him to bring her along.
“Yes!” Murong Xingqiao and Guo Qilin replied.
“Cultivator Li, are you going to the Burial Earth World? It’s dangerous there. You must be careful!” Great Immortal Mi Lu advised earnestly.
“Yes, it’s indeed dangerous for me to go to the Burial Earth World. However, it’s not that I’m in danger, but they are!” Li Yu said with a smile.
His words stunned Great Immortal Mi Lu for a moment before she smiled. She was naturally joking with Li Yu, but she did not know that Li Yu was telling the truth.
Perhaps to others, the Burial Earth World was really dangerous.
However, to him, his arrival was the true danger to the creatures of the Burial Earth World.
When Li Yu and the others walked out of the Mi Lu Immortal Palace, there were already tens of thousands of people gathered outside. They were densely packed and filled with people.
These people were attracted by the phenomenon. Although some had already left, more people arrived in droves. They had also heard that the Mi Lu Immortal Palace was Li Yu’s magic treasure.
Knowing that Li Yu might be here, everyone waited here, hoping to see Li Yu’s face with their own eyes.
Therefore, the moment Li Yu walked out of the Mi Lu Immortal Palace, countless gazes gathered on him at the same time, and their eyes revealed surprise.
However, right at this moment, a voice seemed to echo through the world. “All of you may return!”
The moment he said that, everyone felt as if their bodies were enveloped by an uncontrollable force. Then, the world reversed. When they returned to their senses, they had returned to the place they came from.
This was especially true for the ancient city closest to the Mi Lu Immortal Palace. Most of the people here had rushed to the Mi Lu Immortal Palace, causing the city to suddenly become empty.
In the next second, countless figures instantly returned to the city as if time had reversed.
Then, the entire city was in an uproar…
“This…”
“Why are we back?!”
“What happened?”
Everyone was shocked and did not know what was going on.
However, they immediately guessed that this might be a divine power cast by Li Yu.
“Li Yu is really a god. His words carry the power of a god!”
“This is unbelievable. He actually sent us all back with a single sentence!”
“No wonder this person could dominate the rankings time and time again. Seeing him today, Li Yu is indeed extraordinary!”
Although it was only a quick glance, Li Yu’s extraordinary appearance still shocked them.
As everyone in the city sighed, another change occurred on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
The name of the original owner of the Eight-Divisional Furnace, Patriarch Corpse, suddenly turned gray. Then, the word ‘deceased’ appeared behind his name.
This change immediately attracted the attention of many.
“The white-robed Sovereign of the Blood Soul World, Patriarch Corpse, has also died!”
“Could he have been killed by Li Yu too?”
“But didn’t we just see Li Yu?”
“Could it be that he can follow the law and kill across realms?”
“It’s possible. He might just destroy the Blood Soul World with a single sentence!”
“But Old Demon Cang Ying is still alive?”
Just as countless people were making wild guesses, the owner of the Eight-Divisional Furnace became a new name.
Owner of Eight-Division Furnace: Qing
Origin: Burial Earth World, Netherworld Divine Hou
“Gasp!”
Upon seeing this information, countless people were in an uproar, and their fear of the Burial Earth World increased.
“He was killed by a Burial Earth creature!”
“Oh heavens, that’s a Supreme Realm expert. He actually died in the Burial Earth World!”
“The Netherworld Divine Hou. This name sounds sinister!”
“Qing! This name is strange too!”
However, no one knew that the death of Patriarch Corpse was only the beginning.
Just as Li Yu left the Forsaken Heaven Immortal Realm with Zhong Yu and flew to the entrance of the Burial Earth World, some experts on the Heavenly Dao Rankings who had once been on the Physique Rankings, Bloodline Rankings, and Magic Treasures Rankings died one after another.
Some names were replaced by the creatures of the Burial Earth World.
The series of changes gradually shrouded the hearts of the people from the various immortal realms with a layer of terrifying dark clouds.
They had always believed that there were many horrors and inauspicious things in the Burial Earth World. They were afraid that so many people from the Immortal Realm might enter and cause a disaster.
There seemed to be an ominous sign.
At the moment, in the Burial Earth, the gray sky and the white bones were the main colors.
There was no sunlight here. The turbid sky always gave one a suffocating feeling, like a scene from a nightmare.
The entire world was filled with a deathly aura as sinister winds blew. Countless dead trees were like dried corpses that were stabbed into the desert. Countless strange white bones were like stones that lay on the charred ground.
The black and white formed a sharp contrast, making the white bones look even more dazzling and striking.
Many mountains here were piled up with bones. One could even see many towering skulls that were over a thousand meters tall.
The wandering ghosts wandered among the bones, searching for the smell of flesh that fascinated them.
The Burial Earth Beast that was like a giant corpse worm or worm lay dormant in the pile of bones, waiting for its prey to appear.
Giant monsters that looked like dried corpses occasionally flew past in the sky. Some of them had many figures sitting on their backs. They were all creatures of the Burial Land, although they seemed no different from humans from the outside world from afar.
However, they were filled with a deathly aura. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were green. Their lips were black and purple, giving one the feeling that they were zombies.
Some creatures were like corpses, as if they were only wrapped in a human skin bag.
“Hahaha, our Ghost Valley will definitely top the Immortal Hunting Competition this time!” A Burial Earth creature standing on a flying monster said.
He was a Saint King Realm expert from the Burial Earth World’s Ghost Valley—Sha Xin.
Not long ago, he had led the Ghost Valley experts to kill an outside living being at the Holy Lord Realm. He was in a good mood.
The living beings of their Burial Earth used the death energy and baleful energy here to cultivate. They possessed strange and unpredictable abilities, and they were like fish in water in the Burial Earth. As for the living beings of the outside world, they would be invaded and disturbed by the death energy here, and their strength would be greatly reduced. They might even be accidentally infected by some strange sinister curses and get injured.
Therefore, the Burial Earth creatures could cross realms to kill those outside creatures.
This was also the reason why Sha Xin could kill a Holy Lord realm expert.
After the Magic Treasure Rankings revealed that many ownerless magic treasures were in the Burial Earth World, countless people from the Immortal Realm rushed here to take the risk and seek treasures.
Therefore, one of the top factions of the Burial Earth World, the Immortal Soul Emperor of the Ancient Tomb Divine Kingdom, issued an Immortal Hunting Token.
All Burial Earth creatures and factions could participate in the hunt for foreign creatures.
The treasures obtained by the living beings they killed belonged to them. The Immortal Soul Emperor only wanted their soul essences, and they could use them to exchange for the bounty from the Immortal Soul Emperor.
Furthermore, after the Immortal Hunting Competition ended, those who killed the most living beings from the outside world would obtain additional treasures as rewards.
Therefore, countless Burial Earth creatures began to search for living beings from the outside world to hunt, causing many people from the Immortal Realm to be killed.
“Also, if you meet any women, especially young and beautiful ones, remember to capture them alive. Selling them to the Ten Kings Palace will bring you another large sum of money!” Sha Xin continued.
“Yes!” Everyone from Ghost Valley replied in unison.
“Alright, everyone disperse. Report to me when you find prey!” Sha Xin ordered.
At the same time, at the entrance of the Burial Earth World, Li Yu flew here alone. Zhong Yu had already been temporarily kept in the system space.
Li Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the spatial rift that seemed like the door to hell or the enormous scar of the vast starry sky.
Many people were flying into the crack. They were clearly here to take the risk for those ownerless magic treasures.
Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. It was the same in any world.
Li Yu looked at the spatial rift before flying in as well…
…
