Chapter 160 The Evil Legend
The path to immortality had severed, marking the Dharma-Ending Cataclysm, an acknowledged common sense among cultivators.
After the dark era, the gods had perished, Immortals vanished, leaving no one able to cultivate beyond the Purple Mansion Realm.
Eternal life had become a legend.
However, within the Tian Yuan Dynasty, there emerged a Real Person Qingye who had lived for over a thousand years.
Li Muyang was eager to meet this Real Person Qingye, to see if he truly had become an Immortal.
Living for more than a thousand years in this Dharma-Ending Age was nothing short of a mythical legend.
Anyone would be irresistibly curious—could it be that the path to immortality had not ceased in the Tian Yuan Dynasty?
But as soon as Li Muyang spoke, Glass Immortal Maiden sighed gently and shook her head.
"My master said, 'Evil beings restrain cultivators, they are the bane of our cultivation.'"
"The higher the cultivation, the stronger the restraint felt."
"If he personally comes to Li Jiang, I fear all the Evil Gods inside the ancient grudge well might erupt."
"Then the situation could spiral out of control, with Evil Gods infiltrating the human world and, consequently, becoming a disaster."
"Thus, this mission can only rely on the Demon Suppression Magus of the Qintian Supervision."
"Nameless Lord…"
Glass Immortal Maiden spoke softly, then looked at Li Muyang, "For the upcoming action, both of us should remain as observers, and not participate too heavily in the battle."
"The ancient grudge well is dangerously unpredictable, and it's said that beneath it lies another world of evil beings, where many Ancient Evil Gods sleep."
"Sealing the ancient grudge well and keeping the evils within from emerging to harm the world will suffice."
Glass Immortal Maiden started, seemingly concerned about Li Muyang's potential recklessness and the harm he might suffer from the evil beings.
Li Muyang smiled and said, "Understood, thank you for the reminder, Immortal Maiden."
Just hanging by the sidelines is enough to clear this level?
This is a high-difficulty system game; when has it ever been so easy?
This time, he was definitely going to take action himself.
But of course, there was no need to explain any of this to Glass Immortal Maiden.
He and Glass Immortal Maiden stood and sat atop the rooftop of the government office in Li Jiang city, waiting for the arrival of a first-class Magician.
Soon, four beams of light flew in under the cover of night.
The four glowing trails, dragging long tails like shooting stars, swiftly descended into the government office of Li Jiang County.
The so-called four Magicians under King Ma Chenming, appeared before Li Muyang.
Three men and one woman, all exuding a daunting and unsettling aura.
Li Muyang unconsciously furrowed his brows.
Ma Zhongyao, Wang Zifu, Tai Ah Chen, Ming Yuanjing.
Four Demon Suppression Magi landed in the courtyard, cloaked in the white divine robes of the Qintian Supervision, each carrying an exceptional presence and a strict countenance.
However, atop their heads, all of them sported red health bars.
Hostility?
Something was not right!
Li Muyang unobtrusively moved behind Glass Immortal Maiden, silently observing the situation and preparing to respond.
But these four Demon Suppression Magi with red health bars did not attack Li Muyang upon their arrival.
They only glanced at Li Muyang, then promptly approached to talk with Glass Immortal Maiden.
After a brief exchange, and introduced by Glass Immortal Maiden, Li Muyang also exchanged a few words with the four Demon Suppression Magi.
On the surface, these four seemed quite friendly toward him.
If not for the red health bars above their heads, who would have thought these beings were hostile?
Upon seeing the blood pupil Li Muyang presented, all four grew serious.
"If so, please, Glass Immortal Maiden and Mr. Guan, lead the way."
"If we can seal the ancient grudge well and prevent the evils from spilling out, it will be an immense merit."
According to the briefings by Glass Immortal Maiden, evil beings occasionally roamed and tainted lives across the lands of the Tian Yuan Dynasty.
These evil beings used bizarre sorcery to contaminate lives, transforming living people into beings just as strange and evil.
And legend has it that these evil beings originated from the evil world beneath the ancient grudge well.
"If the ancient well of resentment could be sealed, perhaps the world would no longer suffer from malevolent beings."
A group of six left Li Jiang County and headed directly into the surrounding mountains and forests.
Li Muyang was holding two blood pupils in his hand, the blood-stained eyeballs spinning in his palm, continually pointing the way.
Soon, the six of them arrived deep in the forest, eventually stopping beside a huge sinkhole.
Moonlight poured onto the sinkhole, its cliffs steep and rugged as if cut by knives and axes.
Within the sinkhole was a massive cave winding downwards, its destination unknown.
"Is the ancient well of resentment located here?" Demon Suppression Magus Ming Yuanjing asked in surprise.
The other three Demon Suppression Magi flew around the sinkhole continuously before finally returning to Li Muyang and Glass Immortal Maiden.
The four Demon Suppression Magi exchanged glances.
"I sense no evil aura..."
"Everything seems normal..."
"It doesn't seem like a place haunted by evil spirits..."
The four Demon Suppression Magi slightly frowned, seemingly doubting whether Li Muyang's blood pupils had led them astray.
But indeed, these blood pupils were pointing directly at the sinkhole.
"Let's go in and check it out."
After discussing with Glass Immortal Maiden, the four Demon Suppression Magi reached a consensus.
Li Muyang still led the way, holding the blood pupils, with the five others protecting him from behind.
The six descended to the bottom of the sinkhole and walked towards the pitch-black cave in front of them.
This was a natural cavern; its entrance was several meters high, and a cold breath emanated from within.
Upon entering the cavern, the ground was slippery, and stalactite columns hung from the ceiling, constantly dripping water.
The entire cavern was muddy.
Fortunately, they could all fly, directly soaring through the air towards the depths of the cavern.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Initially, the interior of the cavern was vast and deep.
However, the farther they went, the narrower the paths became.
There were even several spots where one had to fly to reach high cave openings.
As they flew further, the space in the cavern became increasingly narrower.
Until they could no longer fly and had to squat awkwardly on the ground, squeezing their way forward with difficulty.
The blood pupils in Li Muyang's hands were still spinning, indicating the way ahead.
The path was so challenging that even Li Muyang began to doubt whether they had found the right place. Just then, a faint mist suddenly surged through the narrow passage.
[You have entered the ancient well of resentment]
[Mission Accomplished - Entering the ancient well of resentment with the blood pupils]
[New Mission - Find General Zhong within the ancient well of resentment]
The system notifications that popped up in his vision left Li Muyang quite astonished.
Could it be that they had taken the right path?
Why is the entrance to this ancient well of resentment so strange?
He quickly turned around, ready to speak to the others following behind.
However, once he turned, Li Muyang was stunned.
The passage behind him was empty, neither Glass Immortal Maiden nor the four Demon Suppression Magi were in sight.
The six of them had been squeezing through the same narrow passage, and yet, as they moved along, only Li Muyang was left.
"Could it be that this blood pupil can only bring one person in..."
Doubts began to arise in Li Muyang's mind.
Could it be the beginning of a solo journey once again?
Li Muyang walked forward a little longer, suddenly the space in the passage widened, and he no longer needed to crouch.
At the same time, the mist in the air dispersed, and Li Muyang saw himself standing among crisscrossed ridges.
In the distance, houses were distinctly visible, interwoven by lanes, indeed a serene little village.
