The dungeon moved fast, comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse speeding across the ground.
Oddly enough, the ground showed no trace where the dungeon passed.
By now, over a hundred Loose Immortals had arrived, all striking with full force, trying to stop the dungeon’s movement, but despite so many mighty beings trying to halt it, the speed of the dungeon had not slowed in the slightest!
It seemed nothing could stop its movement.
“This dungeon is too peculiar, there’s no sign of any power fluctuations, yet so many Loose Immortals can’t stop it from moving!”
“The people of Ten Thousand Evils Cave are seeking this dungeon, which means it contains something they want, or perhaps the dungeon itself is what
they’re after.”
Black and White Elders spoke softly.
Li Cheng nodded, “The origin of this dungeon must be extraordinary, but it completely blocks any Immortal Sense from probing, so it’s impossible to know what’s inside. Have you elders come across any records of such a thing?’
Both Elders shook their heads. The Kunlun Realm’s existence dates so far back that it contains many mysteries, which, in modern times, have become enigmatic.
“Just grab a Loose Immortal and search their soul!” suggested Black Elder.
If Ten Thousand Evils Cave is searching for it, they surely must know a great deal about the dungeon. What Black Elder proposed was the quickest method.
Just at that moment, a sudden burst of strong Immortal Yuan fluctuations erupted from within the dungeon, momentarily affecting the dungeon’s speed of movement.
“Speak, how goes the matter?”
Accompanied by the Immortal Yuan fluctuations, a thunderous voice emerged from within the dungeon, causing the air to tremble continuously.
“What a terrifying entity!” Li Cheng and the two Elders’ pupils shrank; it was their first time experiencing such vast Immortal Yuan fluctuations.
“Reporting to the Evil Master, the matter is resolved; nobody in the Kunlun Southern Region is aware of the location of our headquarters anymore,” said a
Loose Immortal, bowing.
The Evil Master?
Li Cheng and the others exchanged glances. Wasn’t that the founder of the Ten
Thousand Evils Cave?
“The founder of Ten Thousand Evils Cave is an Immortal? And at least a Daluo Golden Immortal, perhaps even an Immortal Monarch or Immortal King? Such a being, how could they have escaped the execution by Grand Venerable Bai Jie back in the day?” Black Elder frowned.
Old Bai shook his head, “Grand Venerable Bai Jie executed those at the realm of Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor back then. Those below such cultivation weren’t even in Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s purview.
“Besides, Ten Thousand Evils Cave was established after the disappearance of Grand Venerable Bai Jie, so we really can’t tell if this Evil Master descended to the Lower World following the Grand Venerable’s disappearance.”
Li Cheng pondered, “Combining the information from the strong individual of the Earth Elf Clan, we can infer that this Evil Master descended while the Grand Venerable was still present. At that time, he likely didn’t act recklessly, and that’s why he escaped the Grand Venerable’s execution.
“It’s also possible that he hid inside this dungeon to escape Grand Venerable
Bai Jie’s perception.”
The three of them exchanged ideas cautiously through voice transmission when the voice of the Evil Master resonated from the dungeon once again, “That’s good, inform the Eight Great Protectors to meet with this Emperor without delay!”
Upon these words, the few Loose Immortals with the highest cultivation became visibly nervous.
“Speakyour piece!” the Evil Master said indifferently.
The Loose Immortal who had spoken earlier bit his lip and, plucking up his courage, said, “Reporting to the Evil Master, the soul Jade Slip of Mountain Protector has shattered not long ago!”
The Eight Great Protectors were inscrutable, and even those within couldn t ascertain the exact cultivation of the Eight Great Protectors, aware only that the weakest among them was a Complete Golden Immortal.
Even the weakest was an existence they looked up to, but who could have imagined that such a being’s soul Jade Slip would shatter!
The shattering of a soul Jade Slip signified death!
Contrary to the expectations of the Loose Immortals, the Evil Master seemed to have anticipated this, snorting coldly, “The protector from the Earth Elf Clan who joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave had other motives for doing so. His demise was only a matter of time. I have already appointed another protector to take his place. You just need to follow orders.”
“Yes!”
“Hmm, business as usual, all of you disperse now, do not secretly follow to the Underworld Dungeon.” The voice of the Evil Master emerged once again.
The Loose Immortals dared not say more, relieved to turn and leave.
Li Cheng slightly raised his eyebrows. “This Evil Master, his Immortal Sense must be bound by the dungeon, he can’t even sense what’s happening outside the dungeon!”
The reason for saying so was the phrase ‘business as usual’ from the Evil Master.
With his level of cultivation, did he still need to specify that no one should follow the dungeon? It had even become standard practice.
The only reason was that he did not want to be secretly followed; moreover, he could not sense the situation outside, or even if he could, the range of perception must not be large.
As for whether that was the case, one would know by secretly following.
It was also a good opportunity to see just what the Eight Great Protectors of the
Ten Thousand Evils Cave were all about.
“Underworld Dungeon? We must investigate thoroughly once we are back,” Old
Bai murmured softly.
“Li Cheng, let’s pull out. This Evil Master is not someone we can handle, and considering the one who self-destructed earlier was just one of the protectors, there are seven others like him. Should they appear together, I’m afraid we stand no chance,” Black Elder said.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of dying, but rather they feared implicating Li Cheng.
Facing a Complete Golden Immortal, they had no power to resist, let alone when they would be up against seven or eight, or perhaps even more.
Although they were not willing to withdraw at this moment, under no circumstances could they drag Li Cheng down!
Li Cheng pondered for a moment before shaking his head with a smile, “Aren t you curious if this Evil Master is trapped in the Underworld Dungeon? And what kind of backgrounds those protectors have?”
“Of course, we’re curious, but curiosity killed the cat!” Black Elder chuckled dryly.
“Curiosity is good. At a critical moment, I can take you into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and those Complete Golden Immortals, they can’t keep me. So, we completely have the ability to continue investigating!” Li Cheng said. “Then let’s continue! This Evil Master is very likely trapped in the Underworld Dungeon. Though he is terrifyingly powerful, he probably poses no threat to us; we just need to be careful of other strong protectors like him,” Old Bai said. The Ten Thousand Evils Cave’s secrets were deeply buried. Despite many powerful beings from the Southern Domain joining forces and finding their stronghold, they had not elucidated the organizational structure of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, nor did they know how many protectors there were under the Evil Master.
Now that they had found the Underworld Dungeon where the Evil Master was located, it presented an excellent opportunity to clarify this and it should not be missed.
“That’s settled then, I’ll go and investigate the dungeon, with the two Elders providing support!”
Speaking thus, Li Cheng carefully flew towards the Underworld Dungeon.
Since the dungeon could block Immortal Sense and the situation inside was unknown, Li Cheng did not dare to rush in directly, but instead planned to land on it and examine the place.
The two Elders, on the verge of speaking, hesitated. If they alarmed the Evil Master, it would not be good.
But they chose to trust Li Cheng and refrained from saying more.
Li Cheng silently landed on the rapidly moving top of the dungeon, and no sound came from inside. There were two possibilities: either the Evil Master indeed could not detect the outside, or he could but was quietly observing. Regardless of the possibility, Li Cheng was unafraid. He sat down cross-legged, keenly sensing the dungeon and began his Enlightenment!
In the state of Enlightenment, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, one could understand everything at its most fundamental. This was the method Li Cheng planned to use to investigate the dungeon.
And as he entered the state of Enlightenment, within Li Cheng’s perception, the Underworld Dungeon transformed into a vibrantly colorful building!
