Li Cheng looked at the Tribulation Loose Immortal bound on the ground and, after a brief contemplation, said, “Just killing him would be the easiest solution.”
Upon hearing this, the Tribulation Loose Immortal’s face underwent a drastic change, “Don’t kill me, I know a heaven-shaking secret, I’ll exchange the secret for my life!”
Who would want to die?
In such a situation, one would try every possible means to save one’s life.
The Tribulation Loose Immortal was very clear that he had only captured the other party’s disciple on orders, which did not constitute a deep and abiding hatred.
Moreover, he had not used torture on Yun Tianqiong during the capture; rather, it was his own arm that had been severed by Yun Tianqiong.
Therefore, there was a chance to save his own life!
“Not interested, please go ahead and die,” Li Cheng said indifferently.
The Tribulation Loose Immortal was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly added, “It’s about the Ascend to Immortal Platform!”
The Black and White Elders brightened up at this, and Li Cheng also revealed a look of astonishment; the three of them turned their attention to the Tribulation Loose Immortal simultaneously.
The Ascend to Immortal Platform was one of the routes for Loose Immortals to reach the Immortal World, and which Loose Immortal wouldn’t want to know the whereabouts of the Ascend to Immortal Platform?
Even Li Cheng’s master had gone out in search of the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road and had not returned for thirty years.
But whether it was the Ascend to Immortal Platform or the Sky-reaching Road, both had been lost without a trace for over ten thousand years.
Many cultivators in the world speculated that this had something to do with Grand Venerable Bai Jie, and many others believed that the supremely powerful in the Immortal World had interfered, but no one knew the true story.
The Tribulation Loose Immortal before them actually knew something?
After a moment’s thought, Black Elder nodded and said, “Speak, and I will spare your life!”
The Tribulation Loose Immortal glanced at Li Cheng and then at Old Bai, the implication was clear: you two haven’t agreed yet!
If he spoke and Black Elder didn’t act while Li Cheng or Old Bai did, that wouldn’t be breaking a promise!
Seeing his hesitation, Black Elder’s expression darkened slightly, “I am in charge here, I spare your life, what else do you want?”
The Tribulation Loose Immortal breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then I’ll speak, ten thousand years ago Grand Venerable Bai Jie slew countless strong beings from the Immortal World, this is not a secret, you all know it, right?”
The three focused on the Tribulation Loose Immortal, remaining silent and waiting for him to continue.
The Tribulation Loose Immortal gave a slight cough and continued, “It was because of Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s actions that the Immortal World was thoroughly enraged, but since Grand Venerable Bai Jie was so powerful, they dared not do much. So when Grand Venerable Bai Jie disappeared more than ten thousand years ago, the Immortal World secretly hid the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road in the void!”
This explanation was understandable to the three of them since, according to the records, Grand Venerable Bai Jie had indeed slain many of the strongest in the Immortal World, and those who remained, how could they not be afraid?
So when the news of Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s disappearance spread, the Immortal World took the opportunity to hide the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road, to prevent Grand Venerable Bai Jie from reaching the Immortal World in the future.
As Grand Venerable Bai Jie was a Loose Immortal and could only reach the Immortal World via the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road, without these two pathways, the Immortal World need no longer live in fear!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng said suspiciously, “Our sect hasn’t had anyone ascend for over ten thousand years, could it also be related to this matter?”
The Black and White Elders nodded in unison, with Old Bai saying, “The timing fits, to say it’s unrelated, who would believe that?”
Black Elder turned to the Tribulation Loose Immortal, “Continue.”
“My master once told me, if I serve him well to his satisfaction, he would tell me the whereabouts of the Ascend to Immortal Platform, so I could use it to reach the Immortal World!”
“My master wouldn’t deceive me, so I am sure that my master knows the location of the Ascend to Immortal Platform!”
The Tribulation Loose Immortal nodded with emphasis.
“Is that all?” the three said in unison, their words filled with disdain.
Wasn’t this a bit too credulous?
To think that merely claiming to know the location of the Ascend to Immortal Platform could turn a Loose Immortal into a servant?
Is this guy too idiotic, or is the old man’s acting too good?
The expressions of the three made the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal very unwilling, for what he had said was the truth!
You actually look at me with disdain?
Grinding his teeth, the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal continued, “My master said that he came to the Kunlun Realm through the Ascend to Immortal Platform, so isn’t it expected that he knows the location of the platform?”
Old Bai’s mouth twitched, “The records state that the Ascend to Immortal Platform is located on a Floating Peak, whose position is ever-changing, and the only way to leave the peak is through its Random Teleportation Array on top.”
“Thus, throughout the ages, no one has been able to pinpoint its location, only waiting for it to appear on its own.”
“Every Loose Immortal should know this feature of the Ascend to Immortal Platform, don’t they? And yet, you are oblivious and naively pledged allegiance to someone?”
The words of Old Bai caused the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal to waver, his expression changing. Had he been deceived?
That shouldn’t be so, for his master is an Immortal, whose methods are beyond the comprehension of cultivators of the Lower World!
With this thought, the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal reaffirmed his belief his master’s words couldn’t be wrong!
“So you’re saying you don’t actually know where the Ascend to Immortal Platform is? Your so-called secret is worthless!” Li Cheng said with interest.
These words instantly panicked the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal!
Indeed, what value did what he said hold?
“Even if your master truly knows the whereabouts of the Ascend to Immortal Platform, he has fled and, not long from now, will dissipate into the heaven and earth. What use is your so-called secret?” Black Elder too spoke up.
The face of the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal shifted slightly—he had witnessed his master’s escape with his own eyes.
Indeed, as Black Elder said, his master was at his last gasp, unable to hold on much longer, unless he encountered a great fortune.
“I am willing to submit!” He struggled for a few seconds before making the difficult decision.
Black Elder sneered and nonchalantly unleashed a blast of True Yuan, directly killing the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal and not even leaving behind a Nascent Soul.
“Hesitating even when wanting to submit? Our sect certainly has no shortage of Double Tribulation Loose Immortals.”
Li Cheng shrugged indifferently. Honestly, he didn’t even regard the strength of the Double Tribulation Loose Immortal highly.
So, killing him was just that, killing him. He brought it upon himself!
“Did that escaping Remnant Soul leave behind anything?” asked Old Bai, accustomed to murder.
Having reached their level of cultivation, whose hands weren’t stained with countless blood?
Even Li Cheng, in his previous incarnation, had killed no telling how many.
However, after his transmigration, he had been in seclusion and hadn’t directly killed anyone, except for bestowing Yun Tianqiong with that Sword Qi which slashed a Loose Immortal.
But with the merging of memories, those killed by his former self and those he killed were no different, all retained in his memories.
“A drop of Sword Essence, a skull, and Spiritual Fire, which I have now subdued,” he replied.
Li Cheng could see that the two elders had been seriously injured for his sake, so there was no need to conceal these small gains.
As he spoke, Li Cheng took out the Sword Essence and the skull, “Do you want them?”
The Black and White Elders merely glanced at them and shook their heads in unison, then curiously asked, “What kind of Spiritual Fire?”
A bluish flame appeared in Li Cheng’s palm, “Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame.”
“No wonder that old man’s Remnant Soul hid here; he had the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame!” Black Elder clicked his tongue. It was the eighth-ranked Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, said to be able to temper the soul and strengthen it increasingly.
“Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires are hard to find; now that you’ve got one, you should cultivate it well,” Old Bai advised, and then looked at the skull, “There seems to be something inside this skull!”
