Chapter 448 The Emperor's Blood Shimmers
Qi Zhe was indeed interested. He had long wanted to visit the Boundary Sea, even if it was just to stand on the dam and gaze at it from afar, he felt he would gain a lot.

As if sensing Qi Zhe's thoughts, Gu Tuo stared at Qi Zhe's face with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Brother Qi, why do you have this idea?"

Inside the stone house, several True Immortals stared at Qi Zhe, wondering why he was interested in the Boundary Sea, since it was not a place they could venture into.

Qi Zhe remained calm upon hearing this, observing everyone's expressions. A hint of worry appeared on his face, and after a moment's thought, he said:
"I have heard that the seal on the Boundary Sea was broken more than 70,000 years ago, and a great war broke out. Although it was quelled, bloodshed and chaos are about to return."

At this moment, Qi Zhe was very solemn, his expression serious. His experience in the Kunlun Mountains years ago had stirred up his thoughts for so many years.

Boundary Sea and Heaven, eeriness and misfortune, a future destined for bloodshed—Qi Zhe knew he was caught in it all and could not escape.

The three emperors reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm together, but they still had to search for a solution along the river of time. One can imagine that even the heavens were powerless to help them at that time.

Finally, they fought their way to the end of the Soul River, where they were met with fierce resistance from powerful figures from the Ancient Underworld, the Four Extremes Floating Earth, and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit. Their efforts were ultimately thwarted, and the battle ended in defeat.

One can imagine what a great battle it would be. Although it seemed far away, Qi Zhe felt it was not far at all, and he had to prepare for it in advance.

Gu Tuo was puzzled by what he heard. He stared at Qi Zhe's serious expression, and his own expression also became serious. What Qi Zhe said was something he had not expected.

"Brother Qi, where did you get this news from?" Gu Tuo finally asked, still unable to believe it, as he couldn't be sure of its authenticity.

“I came from the Nine Heavens and once met the Heavenly Emperor’s master at the foot of a celestial mountain. He told me all of this, and I believe it is all true.”

Qi Zhe remained calm upon hearing this, but his words caused the expressions of these True Immortals to change drastically. Gu Tuo even exclaimed in surprise, "Ancestor Meng?"

"Perhaps it's true. After the chaos of the ancient times ended, Patriarch Meng descended upon this realm and then disappeared. Presumably, he is lying dormant in the Nine Heavens!"

The immortals exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that something was amiss, for the ancient texts of this realm recorded that Patriarch Meng had once visited.

The other party's cultivation was so immense back then that it was impossible for him to have died. It seems that he is now lying dormant in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, perhaps in seclusion in his homeland.

Gu Tuo's expression changed several times. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Brother Qi, why don't you ask Master Meng to come out of the mountains? I believe that if he takes action, he will surely be able to sweep away the blood and chaos."

Unfortunately, Qi Zhe's response disappointed him, as Qi Zhe claimed that Master Meng was suppressing reincarnation and the greatest evil, and was unable to escape.

The Desolate Emperor created the cycle of reincarnation in the past, which involved an astonishing amount of cause and effect. Therefore, it was necessary for the true body of Ancestor Meng to suppress it. Otherwise, how could this world witness the cycle of reincarnation?

He simply couldn't leave; otherwise, how could he have disappeared for so many years, and even in many future eras, he would not have been able to reappear?

The immortals fell silent, a sense of despair washing over them. If everything was true, and bloodshed and chaos returned, perhaps no one in the heavens could stop it.

“In that case, I will go with Brother Qi to investigate!” At this moment, a resolute look appeared on Gu Tuo’s face, and he was going to go to the dam with Qi Zhe to investigate.

In this era, the Immortal Realm has collapsed, and news cannot be transmitted. However, as a corner of the Immortal Realm that was once occupied by an Immortal King, these people know that this era has already ended.

They had heard the Celestial King sigh that the heavens were decaying, many people had disappeared, and only a few Celestial Kings remained. Perhaps a great upheaval would bring about their destruction.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. They all do not want to see the chaos return, and if given the chance, they would like to contribute their share.

“I will go with you, fellow Daoist!” Qi Zhe nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

A few days later, after the two had finished packing, Qi Zhe ignored the others who were still undergoing tribulation to become immortals and went directly with Gu Tuo to the altar leading to the dam.

"The dike forms its own boundary; once crossed, the boundary sea comes into view."

On the altar, Gu Tuo explained to Qi Zhe in advance what the dam was. Although Qi Zhe already knew, he still smiled and nodded.

The two then set off on the Immortal King's Altar. A beam of light shot into the sky from the altar, and a portal of light engulfed their figures.

Dikes are built to prevent the spread of water; they are as long as the sea is wide, and beyond the boundary sea lies an endless dike. A dike is not a physical earthen slope; it forms its own boundary, blocking the expansion of the boundary sea for millennia, reaching an immeasurable extent.

The two who had just arrived here stepped onto the muddy ground. This was the boundary of the dike. They could see the dike as soon as they walked to the end of the world.

“Vast.” Qi Zhe scanned his surroundings. He could see a sandy area in the distance, with a towering dam at the end of the sandy area.

Footprints recorded in ancient books

Gu Tuo also made a discovery: he saw several shallow footprints on the sand, and knew that they were left by the emperor of the past.

"Let's go take a look!"

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this, and at that moment he strode towards the dam, wanting to see what the Boundary Sea was really like.

Gu Tuo had no objections. As Qi Zhe strode across the land, he exclaimed with some admiration, "This place is truly extraordinary!"

They were already immortals, but they could not fly here. The power of this dam was imprisoning everything, and even true immortals could only walk.

"The dam must have been built by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, its power is to restrain the waves of the Boundary Sea, so that they will not rush into this realm and bring disaster to all living beings."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe sighed. The supernatural powers of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were already unimaginable. The dam he built could stop the great waves of the world from rising, but it was not the end of the road.

"Alas, the emperor has departed, and many heroes of the past are no more." Gu Tuo sighed repeatedly upon hearing this.

The two then began to tread on the sand, staring at the footprints on the ground with some confusion. Qi Zhe tried stomping his feet, but no footprints appeared on the sand.

"Looks like it won't work." Gu Tuo joked with a smile, then took the lead and stepped over the continuous footprints, finally stepping onto the embankment.

Qi Zhe shook his head upon hearing this, and then stepped onto the low embankment. At that moment, he looked into the interior of the Boundary Sea, and the next moment, his eyes were filled with horror.

"how so?!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe could hardly believe it, because the world sea before him had become empty. The once boundless world sea had dried up, leaving only ashes.

In the past, the vast world in the Boundary Sea was like waves, and each drop of water was a universe, so vast that it reached the extreme.

But now the boundary sea is empty, and you can see the dark seabed. Many large boundary seas, like reefs, are sunk on the seabed, and ancient temples are submerged in them.

"what is that?!"

The next moment, Gu Tuo shouted, pointing in horror. Qi Zhe followed the direction of his finger and saw a pool of blood shimmering on the seabed.

"A pool of blood! This is a very ominous sign!"

Qi Zhe spoke up at this moment. Before him was a pool of golden blood. Although there was no killing intent coming from a distance, just staring at it made him feel depressed.

"It's not royal blood, it looks like a pool of imperial blood!"

Gu Tuo also exclaimed in surprise. At this moment, he sensed that the aura of that pool of blood was completely different from that of the Immortal King. It carried an imperial aura and was impossible to get close to.

“There are no Quasi-Immortal Emperors in our realm now. It could only have come from the Strange Ones, and it was just a hair’s breadth away from crossing the Boundary Sea!” Gu Tuo’s expression was extremely ugly.

"It collapsed at the edge of the boundary sea!" The next moment, Gu Tuo felt relieved.
