Chapter 105 Who Dares to Claim Invincibility

"Covering the Nine Netherworlds"

Qi Zhe was familiar with the name, but when the other person actually said it, he was somewhat puzzled and could only stand there in silence.

Gai Jiuyou stared at Qi Zhe for a long time, his eyes revealing little emotion, but with a divine light that seemed to see through all things.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Zhe finally spoke up: "I have heard of Gai Jiuyou, the invincible ruler of Zhongzhou, who swept across the mortal realm more than eight thousand years ago without an opponent."

"It's truly astonishing that our senior has survived to this day."

Qi Zhe did not doubt the other party's identity, because no expert would pretend to be Gai Jiuyou in front of him, and he had no connection with the other party at all.

"Haha. Who dares to claim invincibility?" Gai Jiuyou laughed, his expression wistful.

The title of invincible was merely a burden to him. At the height of his life, he was defeated by Heaven and Earth and the Azure Emperor, and he could never escape that fate.

Now, as detached as he is, he has long seen through everything and believes that no one in the world can claim to be invincible, and no one can claim to be undefeated.

Qi Zhe was speechless. Looking at Gai Jiuyou, he felt that the other party's realm was truly extraordinary. Ordinary people could not say such a thing.

Suddenly, Gai Jiuyou's expression changed, and he gave Qi Zhe a meaningful look, a half-smile appearing on his aged face.

Then, he said in a low voice, "Everyone says you have the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor, but seeing it today, it's all a lie. I don't understand why you don't practice it?"

News of Qi Zhe obtaining the Devouring Demon Jar lid spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness. Many people claimed that he had obtained the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and that he would have been surrounded and killed if he hadn't had the imperial weapon.

This question surprised Qi Zhe. After thinking for a moment, he met Gai Jiuyou's gaze and said, "The demonic art is indeed wondrous, but it is not suitable for me."

Qi Zhe phrased it tactfully, but Gai Jiuyou understood and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems you do indeed know the Great Emperor's secrets and haven't dabbled in demonic arts."

"Very well, now that this matter is settled, I should depart."

Gai Jiuyou originally came for Qi Zhe. He was worried that Xia Jiuyou would face off against the inheritor of the Ruthless Man. Now that he saw her, he realized that the rumors were wrong.

Although Qi Zhe was very bloodthirsty, he was a person who understood his true nature and did not fall into demonic possession as rumored. On the contrary, he had attained some enlightenment.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Gai Jiuyou disappeared from Qi Zhe's sight, leaving no trace, like a ghost.

"Huh? He's already gone?" Qi Zhe didn't even have time to stop him before Gai Jiuyou's figure disappeared into the wilderness, leaving him somewhat astonished.

"It's such a pity. If we could have made some connections, we could have done whatever we wanted not only in the Eastern Wilderness, but also in the entire Beidou region," Qi Zhe said with some regret.

However, Gai Jiuyou's appearance also reminded him that in two hundred years, a dark upheaval would sweep across the heavens, and how to deal with it was something to consider.

It was a truly chaotic event, far greater than any dark upheaval in the ancient history of the Eastern Wilderness. Even sages perished en masse, and the chaos affected the entire starry sky.

"Sigh, how can one survive without strength?" Qi Zhe scratched his head, his steps toward the Yaoguang mining area halted.

He longed for the realm of Gai Jiuyou and couldn't help but have the idea of ​​going into seclusion. With this thought, he walked down the earthen hill and left.

He knew that even if he went into seclusion and devoted himself to cultivation, he would not be able to prevent the turmoil from happening, simply because two hundred years was too short a time.

In such a short time, to become a Great Sage is already considered an unparalleled genius, let alone possessing heaven-defying strength to stop the turmoil from happening.

But Qi Zhe knew he couldn't be afraid of the turmoil, because if he was, he would lose his life and never have a chance to turn things around.

"This world is full of worries." Qi Zhe sighed and prepared to return to Zishan to go into seclusion, ignoring Xia Jiuyou's challenge.

He knew he had to do something. Even if he didn't defy fate, he had to think about how to walk his path and what kind of path he should cultivate.

But Qi Zhe hadn't gone far when he saw several white shadows flash across the horizon, streaking through the air at incredible speed, like celestial beings in flight. "What is this...?" Qi Zhe exclaimed in surprise, chasing after the white shadows with some doubt.

The legend of the fairy flying to the Jade Pool has been circulating near the Primordial Forbidden Zone for a long time. Many people have seen it, but they can't figure it out.

Many cultivators speculated that it was a celestial shadow, but Qi Zhe, who knew the inside story, knew that it was a peculiar sight left behind by the ancient Yaochi.

In the ancient times, Yaochi Holy Land was the closest holy land to the Primordial Ancient Mine. Its mountain gate was located tens of thousands of miles outside the ancient mine, blocking the forbidden zone.

However, tens of thousands of years ago, a calamity occurred within the sacred land of Yaochi, forcing it to move away from its former mountain gate and thus leave the ancient Taichu mine.

Since then, the forbidden area of ​​the Primordial Beginning has often witnessed the wondrous sight of immortals flying from the Jade Pool, all of which are remnants of the former Jade Pool Holy Land.

Now that Qi Zhe has witnessed the scene of immortals flying to the Jade Pool, it is the first time he has seen it in the past month, which naturally gives him some ideas.

"Now that I've seen it, there's no reason to miss it. Perhaps I can even get a glimpse of the Western Emperor's Scripture and receive a great fortune before I leave."

Qi Zhe chased after them for a long time while whispering to himself. Although the several white figures were fast, he caught up with them and carried them for a long time outside the desolate Primordial Ancient Mine.

As the white figures disappeared into the red sand, Qi Zhe slowly landed in this special area.

This place is less than 10,000 miles from the Primordial Forbidden Zone. The surrounding area is filled with red sand and gravel, and even the temperature is higher than in other places.

Qi Zhe squinted and scanned his surroundings. He could clearly see something in the red sand absorbing the essence of the sun and gathering all the nearby fire energy together.

“That’s right, I remember it was an ancient well.” Qi Zhe murmured, and began to search for the ancient well that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon in the red sand.

The ancient site of Yaochi was sealed beneath the earth by an unparalleled figure, leaving only a dry well as the entrance to the outside world.

After searching for a while, Qi Zhe finally found a dry well under the red sand. It was more than ten feet wide and a huge rock was pressing on it.

It is covered by red sand that is tens of meters deep, and ordinary people may not even notice it when they pass by. You will definitely not find this place if you do not look carefully.

With a clang, Qi Zhe slapped the boulder away and peered into the well, where he saw that the bottom was pitch black, like a bottomless black hole.

"We were lucky, you could say." As Qi Zhe spoke, he rushed into the dry well, suspended in the well, and pressed the large stone down on top of it, allowing the quicksand to bury it again.

He then fell for seven or eight hundred feet and landed in a dry underground riverbed, with leaves and mud under his feet.

As he continued to venture deeper, he traveled for dozens of miles and finally passed through the faint seal left by the ancient master of Yaochi and entered the cave.

"Desolation and decay"

The essence within the ancient site of Yaochi was incredibly rich, far surpassing that of the outside world. It was once a blessed land, but now it is utterly desolate.

Most of this area has long since become wasteland, with only a few places still retaining vitality, where flowers, grass, and trees grow.

Everywhere there were collapsed palaces; Qi Zhe could hardly see a single intact building as he traveled.

"Jade Pool Fairy Lake"

Before long, he crossed dozens of mountain ridges and arrived at the center of the old Yaochi site, where he finally saw the complete palace and a fairy lake.

However, he didn't care much about these things. Now that he had entered this place, he only had one goal: the Western Emperor Scripture on the cliff behind Yaochi Mountain.

"The foundation for enlightenment is understanding the path ahead!"
