Chapter 6341: Evasion



At this moment, almost no one in this world could detect his presence.

"Hmm?"

Jian Wushuang, who was continuously sinking, noticed that the deeper he went, the larger the space below became.

After descending several hundred feet, the water temperature also began to rise.

He cautiously used his thought power to probe the direction of that peculiar aura. Once he pinpointed the exact location, he began to quietly move towards it.

The closer he got to the source of the aura, the faster his heart began to beat.

An unsettled heart?

Ever since he had entered this world, his physical body was gone, and his soul had been reduced to the level of a mortal. However, his state of mind remained untouched.

Yet now, something in that direction was disturbing his inner peace.

This was beyond his expectations.

"What could be hidden there that can affect my state of mind? Could it be something beyond the level of a Universe God?"

This thought quickly flashed through his mind, but he dismissed it immediately-it was simply impossible.

He then considered that his current physical body, formed from spatial crystals, might be particularly sensitive to space, which could explain why his heartbeat was so rapid, causing his state of mind to become slightly unstable.

Without dwelling on it further, he calmed his heartbeat and swiftly moved towards the location.

The reason he had been so cautious earlier wasn't that he feared the opponent's strength surpassing his own, but rather that he was concerned that being discovered by the opponent might have adverse effects.

It would be troublesome if his plans were ruined.

After swimming for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a cave mansion appeared in the depths of the dark water.

The entrance to the cave was small, barely wide enough for two people to enter side by side. This time, Jian Wushuang was exceptionally cautious. He disassembled his physical body, just as he had done when he emerged from the Nine Prison Pagoda, transforming into a stream of water that seeped into the cave mansion, clinging to the cave walls. This way, even with the naked eye, it would be difficult for anyone to detect his presence.

Once inside the cave mansion, he realized that its internal structure resembled that of a well -the deeper he went, the larger the space became.

"Almost there!" Jian Wushuang's eyes gleamed with excitement. He could even hear the breathing of the person inside, though he had not yet seen them.

However, he quickly discerned that there were three distinct auras within the cave mansion. Or rather, three and a half.

One person was barely alive, with only a trace of breath remaining.

Among the three, there was one he was very familiar with. It was this aura that had led him to this place.

"Immortal Jiu Chen!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After reaching the depths of the cave mansion, Jian Wushuang finally saw the person clearly. As he had sensed, it was indeed Immortal Jiu Chen.

The original owner of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

He had thought that Immortal Jiu Chen might have perished, but unexpectedly, he was still alive and had orchestrated such a grand scheme.

Not only had he slaughtered all the Golden Core stage cultivators of the three major forces, but he had also created a being like the Ghost Emperor.

And there was also the Soul Ascension Array.

This made Jian Wushuang view Immortal Jiu Chen in a new light. He had once thought of him as a frog at the bottom of a well, but now it seemed that he truly possessed some remarkable abilities.

Otherwise, he would never have obtained such a mysterious treasure as the Nine Prison Pagoda.

That was a treasure that could drive even the most powerful of Great Immortals mad.

And now, even though he had not unlocked the first layer, the world within the first layer alone could rival a medium-sized world.

It was far from an ordinary treasure.

Some of the most heaven-defying treasures in the universe could nurture cosmic secret realms.

While the space within the first layer of the Nine Prison Pagoda was vast, it was still a far cry from a cosmic secret realm. However, with eight more layers remaining, he couldn't make a definitive conclusion yet.

If his true self were here, he could forcibly unlock it and fully understand the true power of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

He moved along the wall, carefully observing the three people inside the cave and the woman in white lying on the stone bed.

The old man with white hair was Immortal Jiu Chen. Although his physical body had changed, his aura remained the same as before.

There was also a middle-aged man in a black robe, who should be none other than Emperor Li Miao of the Tang Dynasty. His strength was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. However, it was Immortal Jiu Chen's power that startled him. He had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Aspect realm, comparable to the Zhen Xian within the city.

No wonder he was able to plot so deeply.

He must have some method of control, which is why he wasn't worried about the Ghost Emperor outside.

Aside from these two whose identities had been revealed, there was also a stern-faced middle-aged woman. He had neither seen nor heard of her before, but her strength was extraordinary, already at the mid-stage of the Divine Aspect realm.

Next, he cautiously used Thought Power to probe the woman in white on the stone bed. There was no need to ask; this was undoubtedly the Empress Yi.

Her body still harbored a wisp of soul energy.

This was not surprising. He had previously calculated that she must have used a secret method to preserve Thought Power, and now it seemed she had stored it in the Empress's body, keeping this wisp of soul energy intact.

"This physical body?" When he used Thought Power to examine her body, his expression changed slightly.

Because within this body, there was a hidden, powerful force of all things, and the source was

a force of life.

He was all too familiar with this aura.

In the past, he first mastered the Great Way of All Things and eventually elevated it to the Way of Life, hoping to use it to break through and become a Universe Master.

However, he later found that this path seemed unsuitable for him and instead focused on the Sword Way, creating the Nine Swords.

Even now, he could only unleash the first six swords, but one of them was named after life

itself.

It was clear that his mastery of the power of life was second only to the God of Life.

"This force of life is not innate; it was definitely injected by a powerful being capable of refining life force. But in this world, the strongest beings are only at the Divine Aspect realm. How could anyone here condense life force?" Jian Wushuang was puzzled.

If he were to suggest that beings who transcended the Heavenly Dao, such as Ancestors or Great Immortals, had descended here, it didn't seem plausible. After all, the Empress had only been attacked three years ago, and during these three years, there had been no reports of

any super-powerful beings appearing.

Even the Divine Aspect realm was considered extinct at first.

"Wait!" Jian Wushuang's mind suddenly stirred as he thought of the Wanliu Totem behind

Jiang Shang.

Her mother, Jiang Shang, must have mastered a divine ability that allowed her to condense life force. If that was the case, then everything made sense.

The reason the Empress didn't die back then was because of Jiang Shang. Moreover, that force of life was very similar to the life force of the Wanliu Divine Tree.

In the past, Dan Bao had saved him many times using the life force of the Wood Way.

As for the life force Jian Wushuang himself had mastered, it was the counterpart to death, pure life force. But such life force could only be controlled by the true God of Life in the Starry

Sky.

That was a deity that transcended time and space, a starry sky deity.

To reach that position, he would have to first kill the deity and then inherit their power.

But since even Miesheng couldn't accomplish that, it was naturally beyond his reach as well.

Therefore, Miesheng had sought to devour the four Starry Sky Gods of Life. If he succeeded in gathering pure life force, he would become the God of Reincarnation, bypassing the Starry Sky's true God of Life.

The more one saw, the more directions one could analyze. This was the terrifying power of experience, a rare form of wisdom.
