Chapter 21 Entering the Underworld

The Desolate Tower, known as the supreme treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race, has left behind countless legends. Now, Qi Zhe and Duan De have mentioned it to Ye Fan many times, which aroused his curiosity and made him want to learn more about it.

However, before he could speak, Qi Zhe continued, saying, "The Desolate Tower was lost in the Divine Ruins and was secretly controlled by an unparalleled being. If the Azure Emperor hadn't taken it away, it would never have been born!"

Although the Desolate Tower is revered as a treasure by the Eastern Wilderness Humans, its origin is shrouded in mystery. Some have claimed that it first appeared in the ancient mythological era, and that it appeared in the Eastern Wilderness in the early Desolate period.

This period was incredibly long, spanning millions of years, beginning in the ancient mythological era, and witnessing the rise of generations of celestial emperors and human emperors.

Its legend has spread throughout the heavens and the earth, and anyone with a little knowledge knows that it is a true celestial artifact.

Throughout history, countless supreme figures have fought for the Desolate Tower, resulting in a divine war that shook the heavens and myriad realms. Now, it has been lost along with the Azure Emperor, and even a mere glimpse of this news has driven the holy lands into a frenzy.

Even if Qi Zhe hadn't said anything, Duan De was already quite excited. Compared to that mysterious piece of green copper, the legend of the Desolate Tower was undoubtedly more appealing to him, and just thinking about it made him restless.

"If we could obtain the Desolate Tower, it would be enough to sweep through the Eastern Wilderness Tomb, and perhaps we could even make a trip to the Cloud Broken Mountains!" Duan De's round, chubby face was full of anticipation, and he was rubbing his hands and stamping his feet excitedly.

Although Duan De had an extraordinary background, he had no memory of his past. Although he could vaguely see his past life in his dreams occasionally, he was still eager for everything underground.

Now that the desolate tower is located beneath this icy pool, it's already extremely restrained of him not to go down and dig a hole directly, given his temperament.

Ye Fan was also puzzled by Qi Zhe and Duan De's conversation. He was very sensitive to what the two had just said and his mind was full of questions. He wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.

Finally, he hesitated and said, "If the Desolate Tower is so precious, what about that piece of green copper? Master Duan previously said it was a priceless treasure, but why didn't it sleep with the Demon Emperor in the Yin Tomb?"

The piece of green copper had previously caused Duan De immense regret, and now, with just a slight mention of it, Duan De's face darkened again. He couldn't help but glare at Ye Fan and say, "You're deliberately bringing up the sore spot, aren't you?"

He was very unhappy, feeling that if the green bronze had fallen into the Tan Di, it might have already sunk into the Yin Tomb. The Demon Emperor left it outside and didn't want to take it underground, but they, the later arrivals, had sent it in.

Just thinking about it made Duan De's head throb, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "That's outrageous! You bastard, how could you just throw it down like that! That's a treasure of the Central Plains!"

Ye Fan was speechless. He really didn't mean to mock Duan De this time. Seeing this, he couldn't help but shrink back, which made Qi Zhe's expression change.

"The origin of the green copper is mysterious, but it is not accurate to say that it is the most precious treasure of the Central Plains. It does not belong to any of the strong people in the Central Plains. It was originally a personal item of the Azure Emperor." Qi Zhe's voice was soft, but it startled the two people in front of him.

Even Duan De was unaware of these rumors. After traveling for many years, he only knew that the green bronze was a burial item of the Azure Emperor. What Qi Zhe said was indeed quite secretive.

"How do you know everything, kid? Could it be that you have inherited the Yao Guang legacy and are the Yao Guang Holy Son of this generation?" Duan De was extremely shocked, feeling that Qi Zhe seemed to know a lot.

Whether it was the fact that the Desolate Tower had been lost in the Divine Ruins, or his understanding of the Azure Emperor, these were rare secrets in the world, and even he only had a vague understanding of them, but Qi Zhe felt as if he knew them all by heart.

His words caused Ye Fan's expression to change, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, could you really be the Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

Ye Fan had some understanding of the Yao Guang Holy Land, after all, his own Lingxu Cave Heaven was affiliated with the Yao Guang Sect, and he had heard of the Yao Guang Holy Land's various exploits in commanding the Eastern Wilderness. "Heh," Qi Zhe couldn't help but grin upon hearing this, shaking his head and saying, "I've only just stepped into the Other Shore Realm, how could I possibly be a Yao Guang Holy Son with such a low level of cultivation? I'm just an ordinary disciple!"

Upon hearing Qi Zhe's words, Duan De also came to his senses and nodded, saying, "That's true. Most of the disciples of the Holy Lands, as old as you, have already reached the Dao Palace Perfection stage. I imagine that the Holy Son of Yao Guang is the same."

However, Duan De didn't care about any of this. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and began to stare at the cold pool with a frown. He couldn't help but say, "If this is the Yin Tomb of the Demon Emperor, there are probably some deadly methods he left behind. It won't be easy to get in!"

Duan De knew exactly how dangerous the Emperor's mausoleum was; even he dared not set foot there casually, as his current cultivation level was far from sufficient.

Qi Zhe shared the same thought. He knew the Demon Emperor's Tomb was dangerous, but he also knew that entering it wasn't impossible; with sufficient cultivation, it was definitely possible.

But such a person is extremely rare, not to mention the Eastern Wilderness, even in the entire Big Dipper. Not to mention the several Great Sages of this era, with Gai Jiuyou's unparalleled cultivation, entering the Demon Emperor's Tomb would be absolutely not difficult.

"Sigh, after thinking it over, the only way to get deeper in is to gamble, gamble that there might be an entrance outside that Yin Tomb." Qi Zhe's expression was somewhat solemn. He was willing to go deep into the cold pool, but he felt that it would be difficult to gain anything.

Duan De frowned upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "Indeed, we can only gamble. If it doesn't work, we might really be unable to enter!"

During their conversation, the two finally found some common ground. After exchanging a glance, Duan De said, "We can take the gamble, but you've only just entered the Other Shore Realm. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the icy pool for long!"

Qi Zhe was naturally aware of this, but he still had some tricks up his sleeve and was confident that he could withdraw in time when danger came.

"It's alright, going down there will make me give up!" With these words, Qi Zhe began to shake his sea of ​​suffering, and surging divine power, glowing with golden light, began to emanate from his body.

Qi Zhe used the Primordial Holy Light Technique to resist the astonishing cold air in the cold pool. A precious mirror floated slightly on his life spring, with countless Dao patterns intertwined and a faint divine light illuminating a corner of the Bitter Sea.

The precious mirror left to Qi Zhe by the old cultivator when he descended the mountain is now the most valuable treasure he possesses and his last resort for venturing deep into the icy pool.

Duan De gave Qi Zhe a strange look, knowing that the kid must have something to rely on, otherwise he wouldn't take such a big risk. He then said, "In that case, let's give it a try."

"Thump. Thump!"

With two splashes as Qi Zhe and Duan De disappeared into the icy pool, Ye Fan looked on with longing and couldn't help but whisper, "If I had such cultivation, perhaps I could also rescue Pang Bo!"

Whether it was Qi Zhe, who had just entered the other shore, or Duan De, who was somewhat unfathomable, their cultivation levels were far beyond what he, who had just begun his cultivation, could compare to; in fact, they were worlds apart, making him somewhat yearn for them.

Meanwhile, the two underwater were rapidly descending, soon reaching a depth of a hundred feet in the deep pool. An astonishing chill enveloped them, causing Qi Zhe to begin to feel the pressure.

"Boy, this place isn't deep yet. If we were to go a thousand feet into the water, even someone at the peak of my Dao Palace would have a hard time. Don't be reckless!" Duan De transmitted his voice from underwater.

"This level of difficulty is nothing to scare me." Qi Zhe trembled, golden light emanated from his body, and dozens of golden divine halos appeared around him, giving him an aura of invulnerability to all magic.

It's getting late, that's all for today. I'll add the missing chapter tomorrow.
