A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"You're not saying that staying here will be a huge help."

Nangong Jiutian looked up at the battle between Emperor-level beings in the sky and said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Ultimately, the outcome of this battle depends on those few at the top, doesn't it?"

These words, though somewhat harsh, are indeed the truth.

No matter how fierce or brutal the battle below, the final decision on victory or defeat still rests with the top experts above.

Ye Yun couldn't refute this, but still coughed lightly to save face.

Even so, I can still help alleviate some of the pressure on the main battlefield.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Jiutian shook his head and said something directly.

"I may very well have found the location of the Ascension Master."

Ye Yun, standing in front of him, was momentarily stunned.

Immediately afterward, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly changed his words.

"That's easy to say, I'll go with you, senior!"

For Ye Yun, finding and eliminating the leader of the Ascension Cult is the most important thing in this battle.

Otherwise, the Ascension Sect will be like weeds, impossible to burn out by wildfires and always springing up again with the spring breeze!

However, in order to avoid problems on the main battlefield.

Ye Yun then spoke to the surrounding allied cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists, I've made some new discoveries. You continue the battle; I'll be back soon!"

He did not mention that he had discovered the location of the Ascension Cult Leader.

The main purpose was to avoid Yue Rushuang and the others worrying about themselves.

Upon hearing his call, some of the allied cultivators nearby responded.

"Please go ahead, Chief, we'll handle things here!"

"That's right, we can suppress these monsters!"

"You just need to go!"

"..."

Thanks to his amazing performance just now, they still have a lot of trust in Ye Yun.

And so, Ye Yun followed Nangong Jiutian and quickly left the core area of ​​the battlefield.

Before long, they arrived at a deserted corner of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

The area around here is very desolate and doesn't look like an important place.

Ye Yun looked around and asked Nangong Jiutian with a puzzled expression.

"Senior, why did you bring me to this remote place?"

For a moment, Ye Yun was worried that the Nangong Jiutian in front of him might be a fake.

For example, could it be the Immortal Ascension Cult Leader in disguise?

If that's the case, then I'm afraid I'm in some danger.

The more Ye Yun thought about it, the more vigilant he became.

All of this was observed by Nangong Jiutian, who simply rolled his eyes at him.

"What are you thinking, kid?"

"If I were the leader of the Ascension Cult, would I need to go through all this trouble to abduct you?"

"They'll just kidnap you or kill you right there in the middle of a massive army."

In the end, he underestimated the strength of Emperor-level experts!

Feeling a little embarrassed after his thoughts were exposed, Ye Yun coughed to ease the discomfort.

"Why would I think that?"

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject.

"Right, let's get down to business first. What exactly is this place...?"

Upon seeing this, Nangong Jiutian let out a soft snort.

Then, she reached out her hand towards the empty wasteland.

"open!"

As her voice fell, a beam of black light flew from her palm and landed in the empty air in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, array patterns appeared on the ground.

A moment later, a formation and a tunnel extending downwards appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, Ye Yun finally reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

"There was actually a staircase hidden here?"

"That's right, it's hidden beneath this illusion array."

Nangong Jiutian nodded slightly and explained it to him.

This surprised Ye Yun, who couldn't help but ask a question.

"It was hidden so well, how did you manage to find it, senior?"

Although I don't know what lies beneath this tunnel.

But since it can be hidden with such an exquisite illusion array, it must not be an ordinary place.

The key point is that Nangong Jiutian actually dug it up!

"It's just a little trick, nothing special."

Nangong Jiutian withdrew her jade hand, turned to look at him, and said something in a nonchalant tone.

Then she walked straight into the downward passage.

"Let's go, follow me down."

Despite his doubts, he immediately followed Nangong Jiutian out of trust.

This downward passage is extremely long; it took a long time to reach the end.

It's hard to imagine how deep underground this leads.

Ye Yun looked at the surrounding walls, which were still damp and showed signs of construction.

It looks brand new.

"Senior, what exactly is underground?"

Ye Yun looked around and couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps they also felt that it wasn't good to keep it completely hidden.

Without turning his head, Nangong Jiutian slowly explained.

"Didn't you want to know what exactly the Ascension Sect is up to here?"

"This is probably the answer you're looking for."

Ye Yun immediately perked up.

"Is that really true?!"

His eyes were full of eagerness.

This is indeed a question he really wants to figure out.

Nangong Jiutian rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.

"You think I have any reason to lie to you?"

"Too……"

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he became excited.

Is this the unveiling of the grand scheme?

Finally, just when Ye Yun was almost numb from walking, the passage ahead came to an end.

Immediately, Ye Yun quickened his pace.

Finally, they emerged from the narrow passage, and everything before them opened up before them.

"Wow, this underground place is truly a hidden paradise!"

Ye Yun looked at the scene before him with astonishment.

Beneath this ground, there was a square space with a diameter of over a thousand feet.

And as far as the eye can see, there is almost nothing decorated.

There were only one after another, layer upon layer of blood-red formations!

They are like intricate components, forming a massive array beneath the earth.

The ground was almost entirely covered with glowing array patterns, enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone who looked at it.

An extremely strong stench of blood emanated from the formation.

It is evident that the construction of this formation absorbed an immeasurable amount of blood power.

Above their heads, on the rock wall, numerous array patterns also appeared.

But what is most surprising is that blood is dripping continuously from the array patterns on the rock wall above.

The dark blood was absorbed by the array on the ground, transformed into streams of power that converged towards the central area.

And at the very center of the entire underground space, there was a huge altar.

A massive amount of crimson power is continuously converging towards the altar.

"Senior, what exactly is this...?"

Looking at the bizarre scene before him, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Nangong Jiutian, who was standing beside him, offered a brief explanation.

"Boy, didn't you want to know the Ascension Sect's purpose?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"Yes, so?"

Nangong Jiutian chuckled and looked at the core of the formation in front of him.

"This is what you see now."

"As for the formation you see above, it's just an extension of this thing on the ground."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately stared at the blood-red altar, trying to discern something.

But with his limited knowledge, he really couldn't discern the purpose of the altar.

So he frowned and asked.

"So, what is the purpose of this altar?"

Nangong Jiutian turned his face and suddenly smiled.

"How about we let the person in question answer you?"

"Huh? The real person?!"

Ye Yun was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize what was happening and quickly looked around, trying to find something.

"You're saying the Ascension Cult Leader is here?"

But after looking around, they couldn't find the other person.

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian glanced to the side and said calmly.

"At this point, isn't it a bit pointless to still be hiding your true intentions?"

Ye Yun immediately followed her gaze.

But there was nothing there except air.

After a while, there was no sound from the surroundings.

If Ye Yun hadn't been familiar with Nangong Jiutian, she would have doubted whether she had made a mistake.

"Senior, this..."

After a while, there was still no movement, so Ye Yun couldn't help but say something.

This angered Nangong Jiutian, who snorted coldly.

"What, do you really want me to beat you out?"

At this moment, she seemed genuinely displeased.

A violent aura had already condensed in his palm, as if he were about to make a move at any moment.

At this moment, the air in front of them, which had been completely empty, suddenly tore open a blood-red spatial rift.

Then, a blood-red figure appeared from within the spatial rift.

Upon seeing this person, Ye Yun immediately became alert.

"The Ascension Cult Leader..."

That's right, the person who just emerged from the spatial rift is none other than the leader of the Ascension Sect.

This was also the person he had been trying to force out.

At the same time, the Ascension Cult Leader who emerged from it was also filled with astonishment.

When she saw Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian appear there, she couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"How did you find this place?"

It was clear that she was quite surprised by Ye Yun and his companion's appearance.

Ye Yun could only look to Nangong Jiutian beside him for answers to this question.

In response to her question, Nangong Jiutian gently stroked his jade-like hand and smiled.

"The concealment barrier you set up outside is indeed quite exquisite; even an ordinary Emperor-level cultivator might not be able to detect it."

"However... in my eyes, there is still a slight flaw."

"After searching around this Nine Netherworld Holy Land, we discovered the anomaly here."

It sounds easy, but it's actually quite difficult.

First, one must be able to infiltrate the Nine Netherworld Holy Land undetected.

Additionally, the entire holy land needs to be searched without being discovered by the Ascension Cult Leader.

Furthermore, one must be able to discover the entrance here, even under the concealment formation.

At that moment, a question arose in Ye Yun's mind.

Why did Nangong Jiutian bring me here?

Ye Yun didn't believe for a second that anything could help him find the true core of the Ascension Sect in this place.

But now, it doesn't seem like the time to ask that.

"Well, since this guy called me here, he must need my help in some way..."

Ye Yun's gaze fell on the Ascension Sect Master in front of him.

The main focus now is on how to get rid of this guy!
