Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 165 The Fountain of Youth, the Plan Completed
half a month later.

The journey of the Dragon Emperor and his entourage finally came to an end, and they returned to Shangri-La.

There is a mysterious place here, where the spring of immortality is nurtured in the mountains, and in front of the mountains lies a vast open space.

On the open ground stood tens of thousands of terracotta warriors, neatly arranged by the Dragon Emperor.

The Terracotta Army is immortal and indestructible. They are special life forms enhanced by magic, and even if they are shattered, they can be restored once given enough time.

The strength of each terracotta warrior is related to the Dragon Emperor; the stronger the Dragon Emperor, the stronger they are.

"My beloved ministers."

Inside the cave, before a pool of eternal spring water.

The Dragon Emperor pointed to a spring that was only about the size of a small pool and introduced it with great enthusiasm: "This is my Fountain of Immortality. It takes ten thousand years to condense a single drop, and this is all there is for now."

He turned to face the 'Fountain of Youth', saying, "Although it is little, it is enough for me and my army to use for a hundred years."

“Every drop is a treasure that even immortals would find hard to come by.”

"I will bathe in this spring to achieve immortality and invincibility."

After speaking, the Dragon Emperor turned to Chu Xuan, Imhotep, the man in the golden mask, and others.

"Now, I will bestow a cup upon each of you to enhance your strength."

"Then you will accompany me to the island nation to meet King Izanagi and use the 'Disc Treasure' to revive this world."

Among the crowd, the unorthodox cultivator 'Ziyuan' curled her lip with a frosty expression.

This 'Fountain of Youth' clearly belongs to her, but the Dragon Emperor forcibly seized it and used it as his base. Now, he is using what he stole from her to win people's hearts.

How nice of you.

She then looked at Chu Xuan and thought to herself, "I hope Chu Xuan and his group can successfully assassinate the emperor."

Zi Yuan currently listens to Chu Xuan very much. Just like Chu Xuan said to the Dragon Emperor, Chu Xuan promised Zi Yuan that they would kill the Dragon Emperor.

That's why Shion cooperated.

This is real.

The basis for Ziyuan's trust in 'this matter' is Chu Xuan's ability.

Chu Xuan is a traditional cultivator, while Zi Yuan is a non-traditional cultivator who uses magic and is currently at the Foundation Establishment stage, not even at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, Ziyuan's relationship with Chu Xuan was like that of a mouse and a cat.

Chu Xuan demonstrated his skills, and his powerful knowledge of runes immediately impressed Zi Yuan.

She knew that Chu Xuan and his group would eventually kill the emperor, and that Chu Xuan was a man who possessed a danger and power unknown to the 'Dragon Emperor'.

Furthermore, she would often secretly tell Chu Xuan the pronunciation of the spells on the 'Unorthodox Cultivation Iron Scroll'.

Chu Xuan truly lived up to his reputation as a legitimate cultivator. His intelligence and calculation ability were both top-notch. He could understand something after being told it only once, and he grasped it immediately. In many cases, he would even understand it automatically without needing to be told.

This made Ziyuan overjoyed, and her gaze towards Chu Xuan unconsciously became filled with admiration.

This reflects the fear and longing of non-orthodox cultivators towards their 'natural enemy,' orthodox cultivators.

Chu Xuan ignored her gaze and continued with his usual calm demeanor, doing what he needed to do.

This made Ziyuan even happier.

If Chu Xuan takes advantage of her admiration and tries to curry favor with her, she will instead feel disgusted by him.

If Chu Xuan didn't act this way, she desperately wanted him to act this way, and then she gradually fell for him.

Chu Xuan didn't understand the women's thoughts here, but Zhan Lan did.

Zhan Lan could tell that Zi Yuan was about to fall for Chu Xuan.

Ziyuan's husband died over a thousand years ago. She raised her child alone, remained single for over a thousand years, and experienced life-and-death ordeals. It's normal for her to develop feelings for someone else.

Zhan Lan's expression was strange. Having spent so much time with Chu Xuan, she understood his personality. He was just a humanoid robot, devoid of emotions.

Zi Yuan's feelings for Chu Xuan are destined to be unrequited and will inevitably end without a trace.

Chu Xuan, Imhotep, the man in the golden mask, Zheng Zha, the woman in the black veil 'Izanami', and others stepped forward one by one to receive a cup of 'Fountain of Youth' from the Dragon Emperor.

Under the Dragon Emperor's watchful gaze, everyone drank the small cup of clear liquid in front of them in one gulp.

In an instant, Imhotep's eyes gleamed, the yellow sand around him swirled without wind, and his aura deepened.

The muscular man in the golden mask also roared excitedly, revealing a blissful expression.

Its evolution has always focused on squeezing out the potential of its cells. Now, it has received ample energy, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, which quickly replenishes its missing foundation.

Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and others have all made progress to varying degrees.

"Foundation Establishment... I can sense it! I'm about to establish my foundation soon, I just need the right opportunity," Zheng Zha thought excitedly.

Chu Xuan thought to himself, "A powerful life energy that can be used directly will increase the human body's cognitive attributes."

"Using them like that is too wasteful; they are the best source of energy."

Seeing that Imhotep, the golden-masked man, Zheng Zha, and the others had all grown stronger, the Dragon Emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "My beloved ministers, follow me to the island nation."

He turned and strode out of the cave, with Chu Xuan, Imhotep, and the others following behind.

The cave's exit was halfway up the mountain. The group followed the Dragon Emperor to the halfway point, where they looked down at the neatly arranged terracotta army below.

The Dragon Emperor's voice resounded through the heavens.

"My army, come with me to the island nation, come with me to revive this world, and create an unprecedented imperial empire!"

The terracotta army suddenly became as if injected with chicken blood, shouting the words "Dragon Emperor" in unison. Above the army, black and red battle energy gathered, like a black dragon roaring.

The Dragon Emperor chanted incantations, and countless white clouds gathered at the feet of the terracotta warriors, lifting the tens of thousands of troops into the sky.

The Dragon Emperor also stepped forward and arrived at the forefront of the army.

The terracotta warriors prepared the throne, and the Dragon Emperor turned and sat on it, flying towards the island nation. Imhotep, Chu Xuan, the muscular man in the golden mask, and the others quickly used their abilities to ride on white clouds behind the Dragon Emperor.

The vast army set off, flying away through the sky.

The human eye can see clouds, but it cannot see through them; all they can see is a large expanse of white clouds flying erratically.

Normally, white clouds follow the wind direction, but the white clouds they were in were moving in the opposite direction.

……

Not long after the Dragon Emperor and his party left.

Inside the cave, in a corner, there was a small black flag that had been left there sometime before. The flagpole was stuck in the ground, and below the ground was a purple rhombus-shaped energy stone.

The black flag suddenly swayed, and a haughty young man appeared.

"I am Li Shuaixi. I was left behind by Chu Xuan to carry out a mission. Damn it, I shouldn't have forgotten anything, right?" Li Shuaixi frowned and pondered.

He couldn't imagine which part of his memory he would lose.

Currently, he is the main soul within Chu Xuan's 'Soul Banner'. He will gradually forget his memories over time and eventually become a bloodthirsty soul under Chu Xuan's command who only knows how to fight.

He lived a life of ignominy in order to be resurrected.

But people simply cannot remember what memories they have lost.

Li Shuaixi quietly approached and saw the pool of the Fountain of Youth. A group of terracotta warriors were patrolling inside the cave, and there were also terracotta warriors standing guard at the entrance of the cave.

The security here is extremely tight.

The Dragon Emperor took away most of the terracotta warriors, leaving behind a small number to protect the Fountain of Immortality at his headquarters.

However, Li Shuaixi was already inside the cave, which meant he had overcome countless obstacles, so no terracotta warrior soldiers noticed him.

He had a storage ring on his person. Li Shuaixi avoided the eyes of the patrolling terracotta warrior soldiers and came to the Fountain of Youth. He nervously placed the storage ring into the Fountain of Youth.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." He activated the storage power of his storage ring, and the Fountain of Youth disappeared at a visible speed.

Just then, another patrol of terracotta warriors came by.

The Dragon Emperor highly valued the 'Fountain of Youth' and guarded it extremely strictly.

When the terracotta warriors arrived, they saw Li Shuaixi drain the remaining 'Fountain of Youth', leaving only an empty, dried-up pit.

"Fuck!"

"kill!"

Li Shuaixi quickly put away his storage ring, his body transforming into a cloud of black mist, carrying the storage ring and the small black flag representing his true form as he flew out of the cave.

He didn't know what the terracotta warriors were saying, but he could sense their emotions; it certainly wasn't anything nice.

"Hahaha." Li Shuaixi nimbly dodged the terracotta warriors' swords. "You guys are so weak, I'm leaving!"

As soon as it left the cave, the black mist rose into the sky and headed towards the island nation.

The terracotta warriors who remained in place were in a state of panic.

"This matter must be told to the Dragon Emperor!"

"Let the Dragon Emperor punish this thief."

"Let's go to the island nation!"

……

Half a day later, as dusk approached.

The Dragon Emperor and his entourage have arrived in the skies above the island nation, riding on clouds.

Looking down, everyone saw a translucent blue-white energy wall surrounding the entire island.

It exists both above and below.

This is a closed space, like a cage.

Upon returning to her homeland, the woman in black veil, Izanami, could no longer contain herself and bid farewell to the Dragon Emperor, saying, "Dragon Emperor, I will return to see my king and inform him of your arrival."

"Go then." The Dragon Emperor nodded.

The woman in the black veil instantly transformed into a ball of black energy and flew into the island.

The blue-white energy can only enter but not exit, so there is no obstruction to entering.

"Heh." After the woman in black veil left, the Dragon Emperor sneered, "My beloved ministers, I have no interest in the lives of people in this island nation."

"If they hadn't approached me on their own initiative, saying they possessed a supreme treasure disc that could help me revive the world, I wouldn't have bothered coming here."

Imhotep, sensing something amiss, inquired obsequiously, "What does the Dragon Emperor mean?"

The Dragon Emperor's eyes were filled with domineering power and killing intent. "Come in with me. My terracotta army is not here to simply observe a ceremony."

"You shall obey my orders at any time."

"Destroy the island nation."

"Their ambitions have crossed my bottom line; they are unwilling to serve as my subjects."

"Rest assured, I treat my subordinates very well. As long as you have no disloyal intentions, I will not mistreat you."

"Hahaha, the ultimate winner can only be me!"

Imhotep immediately understood.

……

Within the island.

After Su Bai killed over 100,000 dark creatures, a mysterious change suddenly occurred in the blood core in his brain.
