Chapter 42: Join me in rebellion, and I will take you to immortality!
Ningzhou, Heavenly Storm Realm.
The secret of Cangwu Mountain shook the entire cultivation world.
The cultivation family that once rapidly rose and dominated Ningzhou for thousands of years, the An Family, was completely finished.
Now, members of the An Family were suffering from merciless slaughter.
Many sects blamed the d*ath of their elders on the An Family and sent out their elites to hunt down and k*ll members of the An Family.
Anyone over ten years old was executed without mercy.
At this moment, a huge tower ship was sailing above the clouds.
“Ye Xi!”
“It was all his scheme from start to finish. His goal was always to find the mastermind behind the An Family!”
Jiang Youlong’s face turned ugly as he spoke with a grim tone.
He recalled the whole incident; although Ye Xi seemed to never have taken action directly, he actually controlled everything.
Even, the conflict between Ye Qingge and Que Ruyi…
When Purple Paulownia Great Emperor appeared, the An Family had already fallen into the trap.
Because of the appearance of a Great Emperor, the An Family had to risk refining an alien species.
Then, they deliberately exposed the appearance of the three An Family ancestors who had refined alien species to all cultivators.
“In this way…”
Jiang Youlong’s breathing became rapid, muttering, “The Heavenly Punishment Venerable appeared to avoid exposing the alien species, so he chose to appear, killing everyone!”
“But in doing so, he fell right into Ye Xi’s trap, and ultimately, he severely injured the Heavenly Punishment Venerable!”
Thinking here, he couldn’t help but feel deep fear towards this Nicholas Great Emperor.
Respectful, yet fearful!
The tower ship fell into silence again.
Zuo Qingtian and Zhuang Hongyi stood on opposite sides of the deck, their eyes empty, looking far away.
Jiang Youlong scratched his head without any restraint, feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up in him!
He thought of something else and suddenly jolted!
“No, it’s not right!”
“Ye Xi is indeed powerful, but the most terrifying one is still the Eternal Emperor!”
Jiang Youlong paced around the deck, speaking quickly:
“The Eternal Emperor has never shown himself from beginning to end, but everything is under his control!”
“Just by relying on a diary!”
“He stirred up the winds and waves across the land, manipulated the situation, making everything follow his will!”
The deeper Jiang Youlong thought about it, the more he felt a chill run down his spine!
He looked up at the sky.
“The Eternal Emperor even dragged those originally playing chess into the game!”
Jiang Youlong swallowed hard, struggling to say, “Now, who is the prey is uncertain!”
“Everything indicates that the Eternal Emperor has begun to counterattack!”
After saying this, he sighed deeply.
He thought about how the Celestial Court sent them to track the Eternal Emperor, a being so dangerous—could they really handle such a threat?
Jiang Youlong’s heart sank: Could we have been calculated all along too?
And just then!
On the other side, Zhuang Hongyi suddenly went mad. She raised her head to the sky, screaming hoarsely,
“May I ask if there truly are immortals in the heavens and earth?!”
Hearing this, both Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian’s faces darkened even further.
In Cangwu Mountain, the bones of a Great Emperor who had ascended appeared.
This matter wasn’t just a devastating blow to other cultivators, but also to them.
What did the three of them seek by serving the Celestial Court?
Wasn’t it just hoping that one day, the Celestial Court would let them ascend to the Celestial Realm due to their tireless efforts?
But now!
The truth revealed by Cangwu Mountain tells them that ascending doesn’t necessarily mean becoming an immortal.
It could also mean becoming a skeleton devoured.
“Puh——”
Zhuang Hongyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of bl**d, appearing crazed.
Her obsession with becoming an immortal was the deepest.
The exposure of Cangwu Mountain’s secrets hit her the hardest.
Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian were greatly alarmed, about to step forward.
But they saw Zhuang Hongyi suddenly take out something, a pitch-black brush.
Zhuang Hongyi threw the brush at Jiang Youlong, coldly saying, “If these immortals are all like this, then this Immortal Envoy can be discarded!”
Jiang Youlong was stunned, his expression turning serious: “Zhuang Hongyi, have you considered the consequences?”

Zuo Qingtian also advised, “This is to bear the heavenly punishment!”
“Haha——”
Hua Hongyi sneered, laughing maniacally, her chest heaving, but her voice carried a determined tone:
“Divine Punishment? It’s no more than devouring and erasing me.”
Hua Hongyi looked at them with some sarcasm, then turned her words: “Can you guarantee that this won’t be your fate too?”
Zuo Qingtian’s face darkened, frighteningly sinister.
Jiang Youlong opened his mouth wide, realizing he didn’t have much confidence in his heart.
“Perhaps, those Great Emperors were punished because they made mistakes…”
Hua Hongyi didn’t want to listen anymore, saying coldly, “Enough! I’ve made my decision, let’s go our separate ways!”
“Even if it’s divine punishment, I’ll live a few days of carefree life first.”
But just then.
The three of them simultaneously sensed something, turning sharply to look behind them.
Their faces changed dramatically.
At some point, a person had appeared on the tower ship.
A young man dressed in black, with a handsome face and a noble demeanor, was smiling at them.
The newcomer was none other than Nicholas Great Emperor, Ye Xi!
Jiang Youlong’s face changed drastically, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Only now did he realize.
How could Ye Xi scheme without scheming against them?
It wasn’t that the other party didn’t know; it was just that now was the time to net them!
Zuo Qingtian was also frightened and trembling.
Hua Hongyi, after her initial shock, gave a self-mocking smile, not reacting too much.
Jiang Youlong took a deep breath, clasping his hands: “I wonder if Your Majesty’s presence is for any instructions?”
He still held onto the last bit of hope.
Fight?
There was no chance at all.
Ye Xi’s smile remained, lightly saying, “I came here to destroy you.”
“All the dogs of the alien species must d*e, you’re just a little earlier!”
Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian’s faces turned pale.
With d*ath approaching, both of their legs trembled…
“Go!”
Jiang Youlong’s mind was filled with only one thought: no one dared to resist before the Great Emperor.
However, just as he and Zuo Qingtian were about to rise, preparing to use their life-saving magical treasures to flee,
they found their bodies unresponsive.
Even their magic power was completely restrained, unable to move.
Ye Xi had no interest in toying with them, flicking his fingers, a ball of true fire flew out, enveloping the two of them.
“Aaah——”
Immediately, screams of agony came from within the flames, lasting only a moment before ceasing.
Both of them vanished into ashes.
Not even a wisp of spirit remained.
Hua Hongyi did not escape; she closed her eyes and waited for d*ath, but felt nothing from Ye Xi’s actions.
She opened her eyes, seeing him smiling at her.
Hua Hongyi asked in surprise, “You won’t k*ll me?”
After a moment.
Ye Xi smiled and shook his head, reaching out his hand: “Join me in rebellion, and I will take you to immortality!”
“True immortals who live freely forever!”
A glimmer flashed in Hua Hongyi’s eyes, quickly dimming as she said,
“But, I once… ”
Ye Xi spoke again, “That wasn’t your fault; the fault lies with this eating-immortal Celestial Court!”
“I’m just starting out, I need manpower, let’s work together to overthrow them!”
“What we need to do is change the world!”
Hua Hongyi’s body trembled, hesitating for a moment before taking a deep breath and bowing solemnly to Ye Xi!
“Hua Hongyi, willing to follow Your Majesty for life!”
Ye Xi smiled and said, “Good, get up quickly. From now on, we are comrades-in-arms, fighting together for our ideals and light!”
In his heart, he thought, Master once said…
With enemies too strong, every person who can be recruited and every resource that can be utilized cannot be wasted.
Then, Ye Xi left the tower ship, with Hua Hongyi closely following behind!
