Asura Mad Emperor

"However, what exactly happened between Mo Yu and Ju Qie back then? What drove Ju Qie and the others to hunt down Mo Yu, and why did Mo Yu betray the Ghost Race?"

At this point, Qinchuan had two more puzzles in his heart.

If Mo Yu had not betrayed the Ghost Race back then, the Ghost Race's strongmen should have opened Devil Mountain eighty thousand years ago, and by now, the passage between the two worlds might have been open already.

Thinking of this, Qinchuan was reminded of something else and looked at Wu Xin with a profound gaze.

"Fairy, how did you come to know about the presence of the Undying Bird's soul here, or perhaps you already knew of the Ghost Race's schemes?"

Qinchuan had seen clearly in the void before; judging by Wu Xin Fairy's behavior, her appearance here was no coincidence.

"Give me the Fixed Flame Pearl, and I will tell you!" Wu Xin Fairy stared intently at the Fixed Flame Pearl in Qinchuan's hand.

"Didn't you just hear? If the Undying Bird's Soul Essence is consumed, the entire Divine Wilderness will be in danger," said Qinchuan, his eyebrows raised.

"But what does that have to do with me?" Wu Xin Fairy asked, completely calm, for she was born with a purpose in life.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and as Qinchuan looked at Wu Xin's face, he felt a stirring in his heart.

Although he had always known that Wu Xin and Luo Ling'er were not the same person, subconsciously, he had unknowingly linked Wu Xin with Luo Ling'er.

When he suddenly heard her utter such a resolute statement, he awoke to a degree.

Wu Xin would always just be Wu Xin; she would never be Luo Ling'er.

Luo Ling'er, at the core, was kind-hearted and could never utter such an indifferent statement about the fate of the world.

"Indeed, what does this have to do with you!"

Qinchuan sighed.

Having understood the cause and effect, Qinchuan abandoned the pursuit of the Undying Bird's Soul Essence and prepared to leave the place.

Although he did not absorb the Undying Bird's Soul Essence, he had acquired a sacred Ghost Race artifact—the Fixed Flame Pearl—and he was content.

Through Er Rengu and the other, he learned that this place's Array was called the Five Elements God Slaying Formation.

Initially, the entrances to these Arrays were extremely secretive and fraught with danger.

However, due to a meteor shower raining down, disrupting the powerful Array auras and throwing the Ancient Realm into disarray, all entrances were revealed, leading Qinchuan to inadvertently break into this place.

The Five Elements God Slaying Formation was essentially a Binding Formation, easy to enter but very difficult to exit. Generally, if one stumbled in by mistake, they would be trapped for life beneath the Array because all paths back had been blocked.

However, with the Fixed Flame Pearl in their possession, their situation was different.

The Fixed Flame Pearl could avoid all manners of Strange Fire, allowing them to follow the path of fire to return.

Thus, Qinchuan and his companions followed a fiery red path to leave the area.

Wu Xin coveted the Undying Bird's Soul Essence, but she knew she was no match for Qinchuan.

Plus, she understood that the only way to leave this place was through the Fixed Flame Pearl, so she could only sigh in resignation and follow Qinchuan's party to leave.

Winding along the fiery-red light path, it wasn't long before they arrived in a secret room within Flame Hell, where a passageway emerged behind the room, filled with burning flames and looking extremely dangerous

More than ten days ago, the falling meteor had completely changed the landscape of this part of the Earth Realm, leaving devastation as far as the eye could see.

Apart from the fiery red magma and the black meteorites, there was nothing else to be seen.

According to Er Rengu and the others' instructions, the Great Formation that suppressed the Undying Phoenix was located to the direct west of the Ancient Realm, not far from the entrance to the pathway leading to Devil Mountain.

Another, prepared by the powerful members of the Ghost Race for release, was the Ghost Emperor who suppressed the Azure Dragon, located to the east of this Ancient Realm.

"Wu Xing Fairy, are you coming with us to the east?" Qinchuan invited Wu Xing Fairy to join him.

"No, Young Master Qin is going to prevent those Ghost Race members from absorbing the dragon spirits, while I have the same goal as them," she declined.

Wu Xing Fairy wasn't concerned with the fate of the Divine Wilderness Continent; she only considered her own interests.

However, she also knew that with Qinchuan present, she definitely wouldn't be able to successfully merge and absorb those dragon spirits, so she decided not to go.

"In that case, let us part ways here," Qinchuan said, cupping his hands in farewell.

"Farewell!" Wu Xing Fairy mimicked the gesture, hands clasped in front of her, elegant as jade. Then, as if remembering something of great importance, she said solemnly, "For the matters in the Underground Palace, thank you, Young Master Qin."

She was naturally referring to the incident where Qinchuan saved her life.

Qinchuan didn't respond but transformed into a streak of light and, along with Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi, shot off towards the west.

Behind him, the indifferent voice of Wu Xing Fairy carried on, "The next time we meet, I will surely defeat you!"

Qinchuan was rendered speechless. This person, how quickly she switches faces.

Wu Xing Fairy had always coveted the two Secret Realm Spirit Beads in his possession, and now, he feared, she also lusted after the Searing Soul Bead.

With the Searing Soul Bead in hand, Qinchuan was unaffected by the surrounding Earth Fire and magma, moving as swiftly as the wind.

"There is a teleportation passage in the heart of the mountain ahead that leads directly to the east of the Ancient Realm!"

After traveling for a day, Er Rengu pointed to a large mountain ahead and spoke.

This Ancient Realm was originally the territory of the Ghost Race, and people like Er Rengu had long obtained the regional map of this part of the Ancient Realm from the Ghost Race.

"The Ghost Race even informed you of all this information?" Qinchuan inquired, curious.

"After all, the pillars of the Four Aspects Law are located in all four corners of the Ancient Realm. Without these teleportation passages, who knows how long it would take to travel by foot," he replied.

Qinchuan had no doubt about this and was the first to rush into that ancient peak.

The once-hidden passage in the heart of that ancient peak had been fully exposed due to the meteor's impact.

After passing through a winding and twisting passage and entering the heart of the ancient peak, Qinchuan and his companions arrived at a huge secret room. In front of them was a portal shimmering with moving lights, leading into the chaos beyond and connecting to the east of the Ancient Realm.

"Ah, Huo'er and the others have been here!"

Qinchuan sensed two familiar auras in the heart of the secret room.

"They have broken through to the Holy's Realm right here!"

From the vestiges left in the void, Qinchuan could tell that remnants of the Array used during their breakthrough remained.

"Li Kaitian had also reached this place!"

Apart from the auras of Ji Huo'er, Ling Xian'er, as well as Li Kaitian, Qinchuan also detected the presence of many Great Emperors and Divine Envoys that had passed through this channel.

These individuals must have been drawn by the light of the teleportation passage and headed towards the east of the Ancient Realm.

Without any further hesitation, Qinchuan entered the shimmering portal.
