As Chu Xin fell, Chu Mo found it increasingly strange.
The stone walls surrounding the abyss, though not perfectly aligned, did not appear to be naturally formed.
It looks more like it was dug by humans.
But looking at this deep pit, which spans hundreds of miles and seems bottomless, he couldn't help but want to give up on this guess.
In a place so difficult for cultivators to reach, digging such a deep pit is no easy task.
Besides, why would they dig it up?
Was it merely to bury the Green Emperor?
Thinking about it this way, he wasn't so sure anymore. Although the project was enormous, it might not be a big problem for some beings.
Of course, such beings are far superior to those who have reached the Ninth Tribulation.
But this world doesn't allow such people to exist, so Chu Mo was a little confused.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.
His consciousness followed Chu Xin, continuing downwards for at least several dozen miles before reaching the bottom.
A sense of desolation, loneliness, and darkness instantly enveloped the surroundings.
In this place, even divine sense is suppressed by a mysterious force, and the range of perception is not much farther than line of sight.
Chu Mo's heart sank slightly.
If that's the case, how can we search for it?
The area here is quite large; if you rely solely on your eyes, it would take forever to find it.
Chu Xin didn't care about any of that and happily went ahead to explore.
I don't know how far I've gone.
Chu Mo was suddenly startled, for not far ahead lay a huge corpse.
At the same time, an overwhelming and terrifying pressure, like an impenetrable swamp, surged violently towards Chu Xin, making it difficult for her to move.
The little guy's cheerful forward momentum had to stop, and then he frowned, saying with annoyance:
"Father, I can't walk anymore."
"Be careful, can you sense anything different here?" Chu Mo asked cautiously, his inner joy beginning to fade.
Discovering the location is one thing, but whether you can get the treasure is another. It's too early to be happy now.
"It smells so good here, but he won't let me absorb it."
After saying this with a frustrated expression, Chu Xin pointed at the corpse again.
"Is there anything that's bothering you?" Chu Mo asked again.
"No, it's just... I feel like he's really fierce, and I'm a little afraid of him."
Chu Xin glanced timidly at the corpse in the distance, her small body trembling slightly, a rare occurrence for her.
It is clear that the fear in his heart is completely different from what he felt before.
Chu Mo could naturally understand its feelings.
Let alone a mere Nascent Soul stage kid, even a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator would be intimidated here.
He felt relieved and offered gentle encouragement:
"It's okay, try walking forward a little and see."
Although this place is incredibly oppressive, for some reason, it seems to treat little ones quite well.
Although Chu Xin said that the other party did not allow it to absorb the wood spirit energy, it did not cause any harm to it.
This is already quite remarkable.
You must know that if this place is indeed, as Chu Mo guessed, the location of the Azure Emperor's corpse...
That would be a death trap for many people!
Even in death, the might of an Immortal Emperor cannot be disturbed by anyone.
Chu Xin said "Oh," and then slowly walked towards the corpse with her short legs.
As he got closer, Chu Mo gradually saw the appearance of the corpse clearly.
Contrary to expectations that only bones remained, the corpse was remarkably intact; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it had just died yesterday.
This was a middle-aged man with a unique and ancient face. He exuded an air of authority without being angry, and although his body was slightly thin, he gave people a feeling of being as heavy as a mountain.
The most unusual thing about this corpse was that there was a divine mark on the center of his forehead, which looked like a blue lotus flower.
His body was at least three or four times the size of a normal person's, looking like an enlarged silicone model.
The only wound on his body was on his forehead, or more precisely, in the single lotus seedpod of the blue lotus on his forehead.
There, a simple gray dagger was stuck in the ground, two-thirds of it embedded in the ground.
Although only a third of the dagger was visible, the violent and destructive aura it contained made Chu Mo tremble with fear.
This thing is absolutely incredible!
He manifested the scene he had witnessed before the little Qilin with supreme magical power, and then asked in astonishment:
"Little Qilin, can you recognize this thing?"
The little Qilin was completely dumbfounded. After a long while, it excitedly whispered:
"I can't believe this thing is here! And it's the one that killed the Azure Emperor! It's unbelievable!"
After saying that, it excitedly transmitted its voice to Chu Mo and cheered:
"Young master, this dagger is called the Crimson Sun Heaven-Slaying Dagger. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; it was one of the two divine weapons that Emperor Yan once carried with him."
"It is said to be a primordial divine stone from the beginning of chaos, which was refined over eight hundred years using the Nine Heavens Profound Nether Fire."
"The dagger strikes without a trace, covering thousands of miles in an instant; even immortals cannot evade it. It can kill across realms without incurring any karmic consequences."
After hearing all this, Chu Mo was stunned. After a long while, he asked in shock:
"According to you, wouldn't this dagger be even more powerful than the Godfall Sword?"
"Heh, it's hard to say which is more powerful, they just have different functions. The Godfall Sword is suitable for head-on combat, while the Heaven-Slaying Dagger is more suitable for assassination."
After the little unicorn finished speaking, he hurriedly added:
"Young master, this is a treasure. Even in the immortal realm, it would be something that immortal kings would covet and fight over. You absolutely cannot miss it."
Looking at the bizarre scene appearing in the air, everyone was still in shock and no one noticed anything unusual about the little Qilin.
