Perfect Double Agent

“Actually, whether or not I go to the Inscription Realm is meaningless to me.” Bai Ye also spoke up, but the moment everyone looked at him, he raised his index finger and pointed at the man in blue.

At that moment, countless symbols surged forth, like a flood bursting its banks, pouring out in an overwhelming torrent that enveloped the entire sky.

At this moment, many people were horrified to discover that they were bound, as if they were in a frozen moment in time, and no one could escape.

When they came to their senses, they discovered that a finger had pierced through the man in blue's forehead.

"If you dare not fight me here, the outcome will be the same in the World of Inscriptions." Bai Ye withdrew his hand, his expression calm and composed, showing that he had never taken the other party seriously.

Those who can beat him are those he can't beat for now, but those who can't beat him will never be able to beat him in the future.

The city wall was completely silent; no one dared to speak. Not everyone could remain calm in the face of the two founding emperors.

"What do you want?" Bai Ye asked. "If it's a challenge, forget it. But a friendly spar is fine."

“Then let’s have a spar. I gained quite a bit from that battle,” Li Yuncong nodded.

"Sparring partners will have to pay extra."

Li Yuncong: "..."

Chapter 43 Heavenly Meteor Mountain

Deep in the wilderness, before a campfire.

Two young figures sat facing each other on the ground. One of them was holding a large piece of fragrant roasted meat and eating it heartily. Every now and then, he would raise his glass and drink heartily. Although they were silent, there was an unspoken understanding between them.

Heroes cherish each other; geniuses will only be friends with other geniuses, because ordinary people cannot understand their thinking or keep up with their pace.

Just like the two of them now, although they weren't exactly enemies before, perhaps because they had just fought, they ended up sitting together eating and drinking.

“You are very powerful… one of the strongest I have ever seen!” Li Yuncong continued without even raising his head, “There are many terrifying people in our generation. I once saw the successor of the Immortal Palace. That person’s terror is unimaginable. He is probably already in formation now, and I am no match for him.”

"The successor of the Immortal Palace? That Di Chong?" Bai Ye was surprised. He had heard of him, but had never met him. The other party should be two or three years older than him. In the current situation where many ancient freaks are hiding, whether it is talent or combat power, he is indeed one of the most terrifying people in this era. The first generation is indeed not good enough compared to him.

"It was him. A year ago, he went into a dangerous place with Yuechan from the Patching Heaven Sect. To be honest, I also found a good place in a certain area. I wonder if Brother Bai would like to go there together?"

As he spoke, Li Yuncong looked up, his pale face showing sincerity and earnestness.

However, such an invitation is a test for anyone, because it involves many things, not just having enough trust.

Bai Ye remained silent. He had never underestimated anyone. In this Upper Realm, opportunities were everywhere and countless. Li Yuncong was only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet he dared to run around everywhere. His courage was truly astonishing.

"It's dangerous there, but it's extremely beneficial for those at the Inscription Realm and Array Realm. It's a natural place governed by laws, so Brother Bai, there's no need to rush your reply."

Bai Ye glanced at the other party. This simpleton was actually quite shrewd. He had already mentioned all the benefits, yet he still said there was no need to rush. "I believe Brother Li won't ambush me!"

"I also believe that Brother Bai wouldn't stab me in the back!"

Their eyes met, they laughed heartily, and everything was understood without words.

"See you at Tianyun Mountain in three days!"

……

……

"What?! You're going to Tianyun Mountain alone?!"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Right now, the sect leader and your master are spreading the fame of our sect in the Ten Thousand Sacred Mountains. Let's talk about it after they return from their raid." In the Intercepting Heaven Sect, the Second Elder directly rejected the idea, his snow-white beard trembling wildly, his attitude unbelievably resolute.

He's very similar to the First Elder; they're both incredibly domineering.

“Overprotection is not good for me. My future cannot be confined to Tianhu Mountain forever. I will eventually venture out into the world on my own.”

"That's when you reach the Venerable stage. When you've achieved perfection and your supernatural powers have reached their peak, we naturally won't let anyone follow you, nor will we object."

This is also true. In the early stages, these beings mostly lived in the Spirit Realm and spent most of their time cultivating without ever showing themselves. Once they began to appear in the eyes of the world, they were basically all at the Venerable Realm.

"Alright, I'll bring one teleportation portal. Also, get me ten or eight forbidden artifacts. That's what my master always does." Bai Ye remained calm and composed, his attitude unchanged, which made the Second Elder's eyes widen instantly.

"You think forbidden artifacts are as common as cabbages? You're talking about ten or eight of them!"

The Second Elder snorted coldly, and seeing Bai Ye's resolute attitude, he couldn't help but sigh, "Are you really going?"

"Go."

In the end, the Second Elder left behind a pile of miscellaneous items with a smile on his face, took a receipt with black and white writing on it, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

There are forbidden artifacts, killing formations, talismans, and healing pills.

He went out in secret this time, and he couldn't even bring anyone with him, but the Second Elder's generosity still made Bai Ye nod in approval.

So, he's definitely not the one paying off the debt. As for whether the Grand Elder will be furious when he returns, that's not a big deal. At most, his share of the looted items will be confiscated.

Bai Ye secretly plotted his secret stash. Over the years, he had accumulated many valuable items, and he decided to take them all with him on this long trip.

As an undercover agent, although no one asked him to do anything, he still had to go down to the mortal realm once to see when the Hundred Broken Mountains would open.

This would determine when he could contact the old demon who wasn't quite dead, to see the other's attitude, and incidentally, to see what that immortality had planted deep within his soul.

Although it was dangerous, there were some things he had to do.

……

……

Tianyun Mountain is located in a primeval mountain range in Tianyun Prefecture. The mountain is tall and covered with snow all year round, making it look like a sacred and pure white snow mountain.

But few people come here, not because it is a holy place, but because it is a very famous forbidden area, known as the forbidden zone of the gods.

Legend has it that in the ancient times before the dawn of time, this state was not called Tianyun State at all.

Later, a continent resembling a celestial realm fell from beyond the realm and crashed onto a boundless ocean, forming this continent. Therefore, later generations called it the Fallen Continent.

Some say that Tianyun Prefecture is actually related to a female immortal, especially Tianyun Mountain. A female immortal once lived here, and Tianyun Mountain was her place of practice. However, a great war broke out in the ancient immortal realm, and all the immortals perished, so this place became a dead end.

No one knows whether it's true or false, not even many old cult leaders.

The snow was silent and pure white. From the dilapidated ruins, a slender young figure appeared. His clothes were stained with blood, his face was calm, and he carried a pot of wine. He stood quietly at the foot of the mountain, his eyes bright and clear as he gazed at the Tianyun Mountain that pierced the clouds.

"You didn't just fight your way all the way from the Great Wilderness, did you?!"

Suddenly, a strange voice came, causing the boy to slowly turn around.

Bai Ye nodded, took a sip of wine, and looked at the newcomer. The other person was much taller than him, and although his face was still young, his physique was no different from that of an older teenager.

Li Yuncong revealed his true appearance. He had delicate features, a sickly pale complexion, and a somewhat thin figure. However, his aura was exceptionally strong, indicating that he had reached the late stage of the Inscription Realm, and his cultivation speed was truly remarkable.

Bai Ye took out a flask of wine and tossed it over, saying seriously, "The place you're talking about isn't on the mountaintop, is it?"

"Come with me."

Chapter 44 Going to Hell

Snow-capped peaks stretch to the horizon, the vast wilderness is boundless, the whole world seems deathly silent, eerily quiet, as if devoid of any life.

Li Yuncong led Bai Ye around the foot of the snow-capped mountain, turning left and right, before jumping into a deep pool about seven or eight zhang in size.

Li Yuncong didn't say where they were going, and Bai Ye didn't ask either.

Seeing Li Yuncong's decisive demeanor, he followed him inside. At the same time, he felt that this guy was strange, with an indescribable feeling.

The deep pool resembles a mirror, and the ancient well is still, but upon entering, one discovers that it contains the laws of space, a hidden world within.

Looking up, there was a huge platform, at least a thousand meters in diameter, like a felled wooden stake, standing alone in this space, devoid of life, a chaotic and hazy place, as if it had been separated from its original world.

"This is where?"

Looking at the eerie and deathly silent platform, Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine. The platform resembled wood, was as hard as iron, and was entirely black, as if it had been drenched in blood and then dried up. It exuded a chilling and terrifying aura, and its stillness alone was enough to make one shiver.

“It was discovered by chance, and it should be related to the small world.” Li Yuncong stood in front of an altar about three zhang in size and gestured for Bai Ye to follow.

"A coincidence?" Bai Ye walked over, glancing at the altar out of the corner of his eye. He could clearly see an ancient inscription on the ground in front of the altar: "The place where immortals fell. Descendants must be devout and perform the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows in order to obtain the supreme inheritance!"

However, none of them performed any rituals.

Moreover, Bai Ye always felt that this altar and this platform were from different time periods. If the ironwood under his feet came from the Immortal Ancient Era, then this altar was at most a relic from the ancient times. Due to his sensitivity to time, he seriously suspected that this was the work of later generations.

"How did you find this place, kid?"

"Thanks to you, after I was disheartened, I left the family and traveled alone. Perhaps it was fate, but that day I wanted to calm down, so I came here."

"Thank goodness, I thought you were going to commit suicide." Bai Ye twitched his lips, speechless.

"You're overthinking it. You think I'll commit suicide just because you defeated me? How naive! Sooner or later, I'll rise again, conquer Tianyun Continent, become king, and then venture into the Immortal Ancient Realm to kill that ancient freak!"

Indeed, the young man is full of vigor, has lofty ideals, and is full of fighting spirit—this is a good thing.

but.

"How could you be so kind as to think of me, the culprit, when something good happens?"

Li Yuncong remained silent, taking out a piece of divine energy and pressing it into the dent in the altar. He grinned silently, his entire face extremely eerie and chilling. He mouthed, "Of course... I'm... taking you... to hell..."

"boom!"

The altar suddenly trembled, then emitted an unprecedentedly dazzling light, too dazzling, too bright. The Great Dao of Space surged, and the laws intertwined, enveloping them.

The next moment, they disappeared from the scene, but when they reappeared...

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?!"

Bai Ye cried out in surprise and dodged instantly.

"You can lose your composure too? Hahaha, just don't die here!" Li Yuncong skillfully knocked away a flock of thunderbirds, clearly much more relaxed, and even had the mind to gloat on the sidelines.

Bai Ye was indeed shocked. He looked at the human figures in front of him and his face turned green.

These creatures appeared in an instant, all in the form of teenagers, with three eyes and no ears, dragon horns on their heads, hands like dragon claws, bone spurs on their backs, wings on their sides, and their entire bodies covered in disgusting green slime. When they opened their mouths to roar, rows of sharp teeth appeared, and saliva sprayed everywhere, making anyone's heart tremble.

"Buzz!"

A silver sword light surged forth, sweeping across the battlefield with unparalleled sharpness and overwhelming force, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

“You really do have more than one method!” Li Yuncong said while fighting a flock of thunderbirds.

The two were not far apart, on a boundless, gray continent, where they fought each other.

But what they faced were all ancient ferocious races. Bai Ye did not know which race he was facing, but Li Yuncong was facing what appeared to be an ancient ferocious bird, the Thunder Sky Sparrow!

It was an exceptionally terrifying creature, comparable to a pure-blooded Suanni. Both were Heavenly-rank ferocious beasts, born with the power to control thunder and lightning. Legend has it that in this realm, its treasure technique was second only to the Thunder Emperor's treasure technique!
