This place is called Demon Valley. After the crazy Shengsheng Bamboo was destroyed by Chen Luo, his demon legend replaced the original Shengsheng Bamboo and became one of the four great legends in the demon world.

Eight-armed demon.

Seeing Chen Luo coming in, the eight-armed demon turned around and grinned at him.

Chen Luo had a blank expression.

Although the eight-armed demon god statue in front of him was a different demon that evolved from the demon race legend, its origin was with him. To some extent, the two of them were one, so Chen Luo could sense the thoughts of the eight-armed demon god.

"So the Shengsheng Bamboo is gone?"

“Still.”

The eight-armed demon picked up the small bamboo chair next to him and threw it to Chen Luo.

Looking at the bamboo chair woven from live bamboo in his hand, Chen Luo completely lost interest. This legendary world has been occupied by him, and the eight-armed demon god lives a very comfortable life, which is not even comparable to his original body.

When he arrived at the third legendary world, Chen Luo saw Grandma Yan.

She was still making soup. Chen Luo gave her some spiritual fruits and then went to the last area.

“You can actually come here directly.”

The legendary world where Yu Nian was still a small courtyard, with a well in the center of the courtyard. Inside the well were the group of "immortals" she kept in captivity. The last time Chen Luo came here, he went to the world inside the well, but this time he appeared directly in Yu Nian's courtyard.

"Still watching your 'Immortal Realm'?"

"Don't you think this is interesting? Some time ago, the Emperor of Heaven inside offered sacrifices to me and wanted to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven where I live and stay with me forever." Yu Nian's expression was as calm as ever.

Chen Luo walked up to her and looked toward the wellhead.

Inside is a world shrouded in fairy mist, with beautiful buildings and a vast expanse of boundlessness.

A banquet was being held in the fairy palace inside. The so-called 'Emperor of Heaven' was sitting on the main throne, enjoying the respect of the 'fairies' below.

“Maybe we are just like them.”

Chen Luo suddenly spoke.

He remembered what the mysterious man had said to him. This world of cultivation was not a complete world of cultivation, but a cemetery. The cultivators living in this world were actually very similar to the "man in the well" controlled by Yu Nian.

"Is it important?"

Yu Nian asked without any concern.

"No matter what you choose, it's your whole life. Why bother pursuing the illusory immortal path?"

"Those who cannot achieve immortality are all fake immortals."

"This world has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. When have you ever seen a true immortal? In the classics or in the stories?"

Unlike Granny Yan and the big willow tree, Yu Nian has always had her own "Tao", and firmly believes that the "Tao" she practices is the true immortal way. The "immortal" in the mouths of the world has been a lie from the beginning. She feels that as long as she firmly believes that she is an "immortal", then she is a real immortal.

In order to realize this idea, she created this "fairyland in the well" and let many people who believed in her theory live in it.

"If I believe, I will be a true immortal."

"Why can't I define this immortal?"

Chen Luo did not argue with her about this matter again. He had argued with Yu Nian last time, but neither of them could convince the other. In Chen Luo's view, immortality is a state of mind. A true immortal should be immortal and live forever! All the "immortals" who cannot do this are "fake immortals", no different from the fortune tellers holding the "half-immortal" signs on the streets, they all call themselves so.

After a brief chat, Chen Luo left the demon tribe.

Three years passed in a flash.

A meteor streaked across the darkness. Chen Luo sat cross-legged on the more than 20-meter-tall meteorite. The aura around him became more and more condensed.

For three years, Chen Luo did not return to Qionghua Sect, nor did he try to test the Upper Nine Sects. He just wandered outside the realm. At his level of cultivation, the spiritual energy in the realm was of little help to him. If he entered the realm to practice, it might attract the attention of the Upper Nine Sects. After weighing the pros and cons, he simply traveled outside.

In the past three years, Chen Luo has used the projection of his clone to visit several realms.

Comprehending the cultivation methods of different realms has greatly broadened his horizons, and the 'memory bank' of his external brain has also been supplemented.

The practice of the Sutra of Deliverance had come to a standstill, while the progress of the Stars of the Heavens was very fast and close to perfection. The Ancient Sword Sect's Reincarnation Method had become useless. Among the three secret methods obtained through "borrowing from the ancients", this secret technique had become a foil and was of no use to Chen Luo at the moment.

Apart from these, his various supernatural powers have made considerable progress.

The state of the initial stage of Hedao was completely stable, but the Heart Demon Tribulation still did not appear. This made Chen Luo interested in the origin of the Heart Demon Tribulation. Perhaps this world did not have the Heart Demon Tribulation at the beginning, but later someone added a layer behind the Heavenly Tribulation, which is why there is the current Heart Demon Tribulation. After reaching the Hedao state, the body is integrated with the heaven and earth, and the so-called Heart Demon Tribulation can no longer be bestowed on an individual, or there are other restrictions that hinder the arrival of the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Just when Chen Luo was pondering his inner demon tribulation, the token that Ge Xian gave him finally lit up.

"Time is up."

The message conveyed consisted of only four words.

Just as Chen Luo guessed, Ge Xian had already been in contact with the mysterious man. There were only a few of them in the entire cultivation world who had reached this level of cultivation. The Upper Nine Sects and the Immortal Clan were the ones they had to guard against. Apart from these people, there were not many options left. This was also the reason why Ge Xian, who was obviously very afraid of Chen Luo, still left him a token in the end.

Before Chen Luo could reply, the mysterious person on the other side also sent a message.

Chen Luo put the two tokens together, turned the remaining meteorites, and flew quickly towards the direction of the Tianqing Realm.

A few days later.

Guided by the power of the stars, Chen Luo returned to the Tianqing Realm.

As soon as he entered this place, he sensed three auras. One of them was very familiar to him, it was Ge Xian whom he had met before, and the remaining two were very unfamiliar. However, judging from the fluctuations of their spirits, these two people must have practiced for a long time, and they might be old monsters from the same era as Ge Xian.

"Someone is coming."

In the cave, Ge Xian suddenly spoke.

“Let’s get started.”

The mysterious old man glanced at Ge Xian and said something. The two people next to him immediately understood that the helper they were waiting for was the same person. But when did another fellow who had surpassed the Return to Void appear in this world of immortal cultivation?

Walk into the cave.

Chen Luo saw four people next to the iron chain. Not to mention the mysterious old man in the middle who was chained, among the remaining three people, except for Ge Xian, the remaining two were a man and a woman. The man was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with an elegant appearance and fluttering white clothes.

The female cultivator had an ordinary appearance, wearing an algae green gown, with a cold expression, as if she didn't want anyone to come near her.

These two people, like Chen Luo, are at the initial stage of He Dao cultivation.

"Would you like to introduce yourself?"

Looking at Chen Luo who looked unfamiliar, the male cultivator asked the mysterious old man with a smile.

"The rising star of the Qionghua sect, suspected to be the reincarnation of old monster Qiu, Chen Luo." Ge Xian replied calmly. His appearance today was different from the last time he met Chen Luo. He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and looked to be in his forties, giving people a serious feeling.

"It turned out to be Chen Daoyou."

The man in white smiled and bowed to Chen Luo.

They all seemed to know Qiu Yuan, and after Ge Xian mentioned Qiu Yuan, they both let down their guard at the same time. This made Chen Luo interested in Brother Qiu Yuan's deeds before his death.

How did Brother Qiu Yuan, who was in the Tribulation Realm, end up here? And what is the relationship between these people and Qiu Yuan?

"Xue Zhongxing, the abandoned disciple of the Five Elements Sect, Wu Qing, the survivor of Wuqing Mountain. This guy is Kuishan, the traitor of the Nine Tomb Guardians. He was imprisoned here purely for his own fault."

As if knowing what Chen Luo was thinking, Ge Xian introduced the remaining three people, including the mysterious old man whose identity Chen Luo had never figured out.

"Hello, fellow Taoists."

Chen Luo greeted the two of them.

Forget about Ge Xian and Kuishan. These two guys are his partners and there is no need to waste words on them.

"What do you mean you brought this upon yourself? I just refused to go along with them!"

Listening to Ge Xian's words, Kuishan raised something with dissatisfaction.

The remaining two people did not react. I think Ge Xian's introduction can roughly explain their origins. It's a pity that Chen Luo has not been exposed to the world outside the Emperor's Tomb, and does not know about the Five Elements Sect and Wuqing Mountain. The only guess is about the nine clans guarding the tomb behind Kuishan.

These so-called nine clans are most likely the top nine sects in the current world of immortal cultivation.

Afterwards, Ge Xian told Chen Luo about what they were going to do.

The celestial phenomena change, a once-in-a-millennium event!

They planned to take this opportunity to open a passage in the Emperor's Tomb and escape. He and Kuishan had already prepared everything they needed. Chen Luo was the last partner they found. All they needed to do was to activate the formation with them at the last moment.

As long as the channel is opened, the rest is up to fate.

"Okay, enough of the nonsense, let's get started."

Wu Qing interrupted the nonsense of several people and spoke to Kuishan who was trapped by chains.

"You all move back a little."

Kuishan did not delay. After Chen Luo came over, their number was complete. All that was left was to activate the formation and escape from here.

The four of them stepped back.

Kuishan took out a piece of paper from his bosom and spread it on the ground, then took out five black stones and placed them in the corresponding positions on the drawing. He then bit his finger, squeezed out five drops of blood, and dripped them on the five stones.

'Formation diagram, level seven.'

Seeing Kuishan's method, Zhu Chang and Huang He Taoist's mind quickly emerged. These people are all top formation masters, and they have gone very far in the formation, especially Huang He Taoist's master. Even if he did not reach the seventh level during his lifetime, he must have been exposed to the seventh level of formation knowledge.

"Can a seventh-level formation alone break the Emperor's Tomb?"

As the blood dripped in, the formation diagram below immediately lit up, and a circle of pure white light emerged from above the formation diagram. (End of this chapter)
