Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 1767 - 1786: Deep Schemes!
"In thirty million years, that ancient path through the stars will appear."
"If you’re interested, we can go together, but I must remind you that many forbidden figures will emerge at that time. They will also seek the eleventh small cauldron. Think it over carefully." said the ’Heartless One’.
"There’s no need to think about it. I am definitely going to the Ancient Forbidden Land." Ye Xuan made the decision without any hesitation.
"Have you really thought it through?"
The ’Heartless One’ frowned slightly and said, "You must know that even if you safely enter the Ancient Forbidden Land, contending with numerous other forbidden figures for this opportunity might lead to your death. Moreover, there are many risks of falling within the Ancient Forbidden Land. Forbidden figures have perished there before."
The ’Heartless One’ was not just speaking casually. Though he spoke lightly, the threats within the Ancient Forbidden Land are certainly not limited to other forbidden figures. It is a place filled with remnants from the Ancient Times, containing dangers that even forbidden figures tread cautiously around, else their lives would be at stake.
"No need to say more. In thirty million years, I’ll come here to find you, and we can set out together then." Ye Xuan spoke calmly, having already made up his mind long ago.
Whether it was to obtain the eleventh Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, to see how many forbidden figures would emerge, or just to experience the Ancient Forbidden Land, Ye Xuan would inevitably go, without any hesitation.
"Farewell."
Ye Xuan did not linger. He cupped his hands in salute to the ’Heartless One’ and transformed into a beam of light, leaving the Land of No Magic.
The Land of No Magic!
The ’Heartless One’ stood with her hands behind her back, her beautiful face devoid of emotion, quietly watching as Ye Xuan disappeared into the cosmic starry sky.
"Perhaps... perhaps this journey to the Ancient Forbidden Land will allow me to use him to find that legendary Three-Life Three-World Flower!"
The ’Heartless One’ muttered softly, a flash of crimson maliciousness crossed her eyes, mixed with a fervent longing.
Clearly, the ’Heartless One’ had not been honest with Ye Xuan. She had her own motives.
It’s no wonder she’s one of the ancient beings who survived the chaos of the chaotic universe, her scheming is terrifyingly deep, and Ye Xuan is merely a pawn to achieve her unspeakable goals.
In truth, the ’Heartless One’ divulged so many world-shattering secrets today with the primary aim of their journey to the Ancient Forbidden Land.
The eleventh Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron indeed resides within the Ancient Forbidden Land. She did not deceive Ye Xuan about that, and the secrets she revealed earlier were also true.
But one thing was false!
That was her true aim in going to the Ancient Forbidden Land—not for the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, but for the legendary Three-Life Three-World Flower.
Not only her, but other forbidden figures shared this aim, for the mythical Three-Life Three-World Flower could resurrect the dead, truly turning them back into the living, no longer the dead.
Moreover, that is just one aspect of it.
What kind of place is the Ancient Forbidden Land?
It is formed from the remnants of the apocalypse from the Ancient Times.
The Ancient Times are hailed as one of the three most powerful eras of the eternal universe, and within lay not just the Three-Life Three-World Flower, but many astounding opportunities left by the Ancient Times, any of which would be unimaginable fortune.
Of course, the ’Heartless One’ did not disclose these matters to Ye Xuan.
She simply wanted to use Ye Xuan to obtain what she desired.
Furthermore, the ’Heartless One’ intended to use others to kill. With many forbidden figures heading to the Ancient Forbidden Land, if they could kill Ye Xuan at the hands of another, that would be preferable. After all, Ye Xuan was always an uncertain factor, posing a great threat.
The ’Heartless One’s ambition is vast. She seeks the Three-Life Three-World Flower to become truly human again, as well as the eleventh Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron and the unimaginable opportunities within the Ancient Forbidden Land.
She has only one goal, to become one of those rare and remarkable beings, for only then can she truly seek the path of transcendence and be qualified and have the opportunity to push open that grand door.
...
The vast starry sky, the boundless universe.
A great wave of the star sea pushed Ye Xuan forward as he stood with hands behind his back atop it, continuously heading back toward the Chaos Great World.
But Ye Xuan was in deep thought, his expression shifting as if pondering certain matters.
What a joke?
Believe the ’Heartless One’?
Ye Xuan was not so naive as to believe her just based on her words.
These forbidden figures were all deeply scheming and calculating. If Ye Xuan truly trusted them, he would eventually be ensnared by their traps.
In the past, when dealing with the Eternal Shadow, Ye Xuan had suffered from their deception and vowed not to make such a naive mistake again.
Though Ye Xuan hadn’t lived as long as these forbidden figures, he had journeyed step by step from youth to now, also becoming deeply cunning, worthy of being called a supremely cunning old fox.
Through Ye Xuan’s constant analysis, the secrets revealed by the ’Heartless One’ could not possibly be false; indeed, she had not lied to him.
Only when she finally mentioned the Ancient Forbidden Land did Ye Xuan realize her true objective.
She had laid out so many secrets for Ye Xuan just to pave the way for the matter of the Ancient Forbidden Land, to make him truly believe in her, thinking she sincerely wished to form a good bond with him.
Is Ye Xuan stupid?
No, he’s not!
Given that the Ancient Forbidden Land is formed from the remnants of the apocalypse of the Ancient Times, how could it only contain the eleventh Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron?
Moreover, over so many chaotic universes, these forbidden figures had seized this small cauldron before.
The idea that they would gather at the Ancient Forbidden Land to fight over just one small cauldron makes no sense.
Clearly, apart from the eleventh small cauldron, there are unknown opportunities in the Ancient Forbidden Land, and these are the true objectives of the forbidden figures.
Moreover, based on Ye Xuan the old fox’s deductions, since the Ancient Forbidden Land is formed from the remnants of the Ancient Times, there must be unimaginable astounding opportunities hidden within.
After all, the Ancient Times is hailed as one of the three most powerful eras of the eternal universe, and the relics left behind could be immensely astonishing.
"If I can achieve great gains in the Ancient Forbidden Land, perhaps I can unify the twelve Heavenly Gates and even break through my current realm!"
Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep and frightening, as he muttered with excitement.
He was already incredibly powerful, having long surpassed the level of supremacy. To unify the twelve Heavenly Gates, the cultivation resources required were unimaginably terrifying.
Let’s just say, even if he were to devour the cultivation of eleven eternal supremes, he still couldn’t unify the twelve Heavenly Gates, because his body is like an endless abyss, requiring an unimaginable quantity of cultivation resources.
And according to the ’Heartless One’, Ye Xuan was walking the path of the heavenly mighties of the Three Great Eras!
And this, is indeed the most correct path.
