Lingjian's words were very clear: the Heavenly Emperor that the Heavenly Dragon Demon God had ever seen was only one, and that was the Ancient Sword Heavenly Emperor who was closest to their era.

"You mean the Ancient Sword Emperor? That's impossible. How long has it been since he fell? Less than 20,000 years. How could his tomb have appeared now?" The Heavenly Dragon Demon God thought it was unlikely.

The other gods also felt that the possibility was relatively low, because most of the imperial tombs and demon emperor tombs that appeared were basically because they were too old and the power protecting the tombs was no longer sufficient to maintain them, so they were forced to appear.

The Ancient Sword Emperor has only been dead for less than 20,000 years, so his tomb is definitely the least likely to be discovered at present.

"So that means it must be the tomb of the Divine Firmament Sword Emperor?" someone asked.

But who can guarantee something like that? So the Spirit Sword God shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

While they were talking, the cultivators sent by the holy lands of the human race arrived one after another, and the first to arrive were Ye Liuyun and her cool mount.

A smooth spatial rift was torn open, and a Qilin, its body wreathed in black flames and carrying a woman in white on its back, flew out of the space.

With a Qilin as a mount, it would be hard to ignore him wherever he went, especially given Ye Liuyun's extraordinary status.

"Wow, what a huge spatial rift! Hello, seniors, how's the situation here?" Ye Liuyun was first startled by the enormous spatial rift, then greeted Lin Yuantian and the others with a grin.

In the entire Eastern Continent, probably only Ye Liuyun would dare to treat so many demon gods and celestial beings with such an attitude.

The moment the Heavenly Dragon Demon God saw Ye Liuyun, his eyes were filled with resentment.

As for the other gods, some of them took the initiative to greet Ye Liuyun politely. These gods had had private contact with Ye Liuyun. For example, the Spirit Sword God was a god that Ye Liuyun had saved with pills.

"It's Lord Ye! I didn't expect you to be the first genius to arrive. Are you planning to go inside and take a look?" Spirit Sword God asked hurriedly.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Such a big matter, I definitely have to get involved. Seniors, may we go in now?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God originally intended to say, "Go in if you want," and had no intention of stopping Ye Liuyun at all, because in his view, it would be better if Ye Liuyun died inside.

However, the Heavenly God Lin Yuan spoke first.

“Lord Ye, we have never been inside before and are not aware of the dangers within. I suggest you wait outside until cultivators from other forces arrive before going in. There is no need for you to lead the charge yourself.”

The Heavenly God of the Abyss was being very direct, telling Ye Liuyun not to go in first as a vanguard, but to wait for the cultivators from other forces to arrive.

Ye Liuyun was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Lin Yuantianshen meant.

She thought about it and realized that she was definitely going to wait for Lin Aoxue to come anyway, so there was no rush. Besides, Ye Liuyun never liked to be the first to stick her neck out.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Lin Yuan. I didn't intend to go in now. If I were to obtain some great treasure, I would become the target of everyone's hatred." After leaving these words, Ye Liuyun patted the black ox, and they landed in a quiet place.

After landing, he casually waved his hand, and a chair appeared behind him and a table appeared in front of him, with spirit wine and spirit fruit on it.

"Hehe, Master, give me some too," Black Bull said with a chuckle.

When Ye Liuyun saw Black Bull acting like a lapdog, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Please, you're a Qilin, not a dog. Why do I feel like you've become even more sleazy since you transformed from a donkey into a Qilin?"

But Black Bull looked completely unconvinced.

"Oh, I don't care about any of that," Black Bull chuckled.

Ye Liuyun was generous and waved his hand again, and a pile of spiritual fruits and herbs appeared in front of the black ox. Upon seeing this, the black ox quickly lay down and ate while waiting for the other cultivators to arrive. Just like Ye Liuyun, it was very leisurely here.

The gods and demons all looked at Ye Liuyun with speechless expressions.

"Tch, this little girl is doing this on purpose, isn't she? We're working ourselves to the bone here suppressing the spatial rifts, and she just sits down and eats leisurely. And that Qilin, he's a disgrace to the Qilin clan! That's a Qilin, he looks like a black dog!" The demon god on the demon race's side was very dissatisfied and immediately started complaining.

The demon gods of the beast lineage were already dissatisfied with a donkey turning into a Qilin, and now seeing the black ox acting like a lapdog, they felt even more ashamed of their demonic status.

"Black Bull, can you feel it? They've been watching us the whole time." Ye Liuyun could clearly feel many thorny eyes staring at them.

Black Bull glanced at it, then raised his head and said with a smug look on his face.

"That must be it, this divine donkey, oh no, this Qilin is too divine and powerful."

Seeing Black Bull's arrogant demeanor, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but kick him.

"Shut up, you 'divine warrior'? If you really looked divine, I might have praised you. But all I see is lewdness. I bet those eyes belong to those demon gods," Ye Liuyun said.

"Hey, you think you can control everything, and now you're trying to control me? Just you wait, Master. I'll find a chance to sleep with all the females in their tribe and make them give birth to my little Qilin," the black ox said viciously.

If any other demon god had said this, Ye Liuyun might not have believed it, but now that Black Bull was saying it, he had no choice but to believe it, because the Qilin could combine with any beast to produce a subspecies with Qilin blood.

"Hmm... Besides mating, that's all you're good for. All you think about is mating. If you're so capable, why don't you take down Aoxue's horse first? If you can, I might consider praising you a bit," Ye Liuyun provoked.

Upon hearing this, Black Bull was both anxious and timid. Despite his appearance, he was still thinking about Lin Aoxue's mount.

"Little Red, hahaha, I haven't seen Little Red in so long! No way, I've made up my mind. If we meet again, I'll beg the mistress to marry Little Red to me no matter what." Black Bull couldn't help but roll around on the ground.

Like owner, like pet.

"Then you'd better work hard. Aoxue should be riding her horse over today," Ye Liuyun reminded him.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll have to prepare a bit." The black bull produced a comb from somewhere, and then one of its hooves turned into a human hand, which began to comb its own fur.

This guy is so funny.

Time passed slowly, and after about ten minutes, cultivators arrived one after another. However, those who arrived first were not cultivators from the holy lands of the Eastern Continent, but rather some rogue cultivators, especially those from the Sword Domain, whose cultivation levels ranged from the Transformation Realm to the Nirvana Realm.

Since independent cultivators have no organization, they don't need to make any preparations.

When they arrived, they were also startled by the crack in front of them, but what terrified them even more were the gods and demons sitting cross-legged on the edge of the crack.

Normally, you wouldn't see a single one, but today, there were dozens of them! Their terrifying aura made these inexperienced cultivators tremble with fear.

"Eh? Seniors, when may we enter?" a white-haired Nirvana cultivator asked, bowing.

The human god merely glanced at him without speaking, but the demon god couldn't help but complain.

"Old man, at your age, I'd regret eating you. If you're not afraid of death, you can go in now, no one's stopping you," a short-tempered demon god roared.

He was already annoyed by being tricked by the humans, but seeing an old man on his deathbed only made him angrier.

The old cultivator's face immediately turned red after being mocked by the demon god.

This old man also possessed the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm of Life and Death, which would make him a powerful figure even in the Eastern Continent. However, in this place, he seemed somewhat insignificant.

"Is this... the White Cloud Sword Saint? Does she also want to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb?" a Nirvana cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Holy Land in the distance said.

After all, they were Nirvana cultivators from their Sword Domain, all prominent figures, so naturally they all knew them.

"You are a senior from the demon race, and I respect you. However, you cannot humiliate me in front of so many powerful human beings." The White Cloud Sword Saint couldn't contain his anger and said angrily.

None of them are minor figures; they all have their own pride, and especially in this kind of setting, they definitely couldn't hold back.

The demon god who had mocked the White Cloud Sword Saint immediately became enraged upon hearing this. His eyes blazed with divine light, and the White Cloud Sword Saint found himself out of control, forced to fly towards the rift.

"Old man, since you're so bold, then I'll send you on your way and let you be the first to seize the opportunity of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb," the demon god said sinisterly.

As Baiyun Sword Saint saw himself getting closer and closer to the spatial rift, his face turned pale. He wanted to go in, but he didn't want to be the first to lead the way.

Coupled with the other party's behavior, Baiyun Sword Saint felt that he was doomed.

"Damn it, I'm doomed!" the White Cloud Sword Saint cried out in terror.

However, how could the human gods stand by and watch the demon race toy with their human powerhouse? A Saint of the Life and Death Realm is not something to be taken lightly.

Suddenly, the Spirit Sword God made a move and grabbed the White Cloud Sword Saint.

The White Cloud Sword Saint thus escaped with his life.

"Fire Demon God, you've gone too far," the Spirit Sword God said in a deep voice.

When Baiyun Sword Saint saw that Lingjian Tianshen had saved him, he quickly expressed his gratitude to him.

"Thank you for saving me, senior."

The Spirit Sword God simply waved his hand, and the White Cloud Sword Saint quickly distanced himself from these powerful figures.

"Hmph! Mind your own business. He's just an old codger. Sooner or later someone has to go in and take the lead anyway. What's wrong with letting him go in and take a look?" Thunder Demon God asked unhappily.

"Is that so? Then how about letting the cultivators of your Thunder Beast clan be the vanguard?" Spirit Sword God asked in return.

The Thunder Demon God's face twitched, then he snorted coldly and remained silent.

As for the White Cloud Sword Saint, who had narrowly escaped death, he patted his chest as soon as he got away from the demon god and the heavenly god.

"Phew... That scared the old man to death! That damned monster!" The White Cloud Sword Saint was furious.

His gaze swept across the area, first spotting the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, and then seeing Ye Liuyun sitting leisurely on a hilltop.

This black ox had already concealed its power and divine beast aura. Once concealed, it looked pitch black and had a very strange appearance. Cultivators who did not know the black ox's identity would at most regard it as some kind of exotic beast.

The White Cloud Sword Saint was probably frightened, and then he happened to smell the aroma of Ye Liuyun's spirit wine. Seeing that Ye Liuyun's cultivation level didn't seem high, the White Cloud Sword Saint actually flew over with an air of otherworldly elegance and landed on the mountain where Ye Liuyun and the Black Ox were.

Once the old man came down, he was nowhere to be seen as the pathetic figure he had been before.

"Haha, young lady, may this old man have a drink?" White Cloud Sword Saint asked calmly after landing.

Ye Liuyun was already quite bored, so she certainly wouldn't refuse when someone came up to her and started a conversation. Hei Niu just glanced at the old guy and continued eating.

"No problem, please have some, senior." Ye Liuyun took out another wine cup and gestured for Sword Saint Baiyun to taste it himself.

On the other side, at the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, they naturally saw that the White Cloud Sword Saint ran to the location where Ye Liuyun was.

"What's this old guy up to? This Lord Ye is completely unguarded, and seems quite easy to get along with," said the Heavenly Sword Saint Lord, squinting his eyes.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun knew he was a senior expert, yet still remained so calm and composed, Baiyun Sword Saint couldn't help but feel a sense of scorn.

"Strange, this girl appears to be only at the Spirit Stream Realm, yet she is so calm. She must be hiding something, otherwise she wouldn't be here. But even so, she doesn't seem afraid of me, a Nirvana Realm cultivator. Is this just youthful fearlessness, or does she have some kind of confidence?" White Cloud Sword Saint muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Liuyun proactively filled Baiyun Sword Saint's wine cup with wine.

"Please have some, senior," Ye Liuyun said.

The White Cloud Sword Saint had just caught a whiff of Ye Liuyun's spirit wine from the air, which is why he couldn't resist coming down to ask for some.

"Haha, since the young lady is so polite, then this old man will accept it without hesitation. This wine is obviously of good quality." The White Cloud Sword Saint immediately used his strength to lift the wine cup and took a sniff.

"Hmm...it must be good wine." After exclaiming, the White Cloud Sword Saint drank it down in one gulp.

However, after taking a sip of the wine, the White Cloud Sword Saint visibly trembled, because the medicinal power contained in the wine was quite immense. This spirit wine was Ye Liuyun's latest masterpiece, and its medicinal effects were much stronger than the first wine he had brewed.

"This?" Baiyun Sword Saint was shocked. This was the first time he had ever tasted such a luxurious wine. A single cup of wine could make this cultivator in the Life and Death Realm feel an increase in power.

"Senior, this is good wine. This is my latest brew, called Enlightenment Wine. It's very suitable for cultivators at your level. Why not have some more?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Bai Yun knew from just one drink that this seemingly harmless woman was no ordinary person and must have a significant background.

"Haha, this is indeed fine wine. Young lady, may I ask which of these celestial gods you are a descendant of?" The White Cloud Sword Saint sat down out of thin air and then inquired with a smile.

When Ye Liuyun saw that the White Cloud Sword Saint had asked about her identity, she thought for a moment and decided not to tell him yet.

"Senior, shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking about my identity?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the White Cloud Sword Saint's eyes darted around, and then he slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I was so busy asking for drinks that I forgot to introduce myself."

"Young lady, there's no need to mention my worldly name. My Daoist name is Baiyun, and I'm quite well-known in the Sword Domain, where my fellow Daoists call me Baiyun Sword Saint." Baiyun Sword Saint introduced himself with the air of a reclusive master.

Looking at the old man's smug expression, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What she lamented was that if she were just an ordinary cultivator, under normal circumstances, it would be questionable whether she could still be alive. You should know that even a cultivator at the Dao Palace level can barely live for five hundred years. If they have rare treasures of heaven and earth, they might live longer. Even cultivators at the Four Extremes level only have a lifespan of two thousand years.

She is only a little over a thousand years old. Reaching the Four Extremes Realm at a little over a thousand years old is the norm in this world. If a Four Extremes cultivator, or even a Nascent Soul cultivator, were to encounter this White Cloud Sword Saint, they would be quite surprised and taken aback, because Nirvana cultivators are known as saints.

Currently, most of the divine cultivators in the entire Tianhe Starfield are concentrated on the Burial God Star, but even so, there are less than a hundred of them. These are already the top figures in the world, and they usually don't show themselves. So, on the surface, Nirvana cultivators are the top figures in this world.

Although the demon god mocked the White Cloud Sword Saint not long ago, her aptitude is definitely not bad. Reaching the Transformation Realm already puts her ahead of 80-90% of cultivators in the cultivation world. Reaching the Nirvana Realm puts her ahead of 99% of cultivators. As for the Divine Path cultivator, she is definitely in the 1% or even less.

Different levels of cultivation involve different roles and statuses. With so many divine cultivators present, it's natural that Nirvana cultivators have no right to speak.

"Haha, Senior Baiyun, I am Ye Liuyun from the Flying Immortal Domain," Ye Liuyun introduced himself.

Perhaps the White Cloud Sword Saint rarely left the Sword Domain, or even knew little about other regions, because he didn't immediately think of Ye Liuyun's identity.

"Oh, a disciple of the Flying Immortal Domain Holy Land. As expected of a disciple from a top cultivation area, your knowledge is indeed vast. To be honest, if a young cultivator from our Sword Domain were to encounter me, they would probably be quite startled. This shows that most of Miss Ye's elders are at my level, right?" The White Cloud Sword Saint rolled his eyes and then replied.

Hearing this, Black Bull almost burst out laughing.

"Haha, Master, this old man is amusing. He's never even heard of you?"

Ye Liuyun immediately glared at Black Bull, telling him to shut up.

When Black Bull saw Ye Liuyun's gaze, he immediately cowered and continued eating, watching his master pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, or rather, pretending to be low-key.

Given Ye Liuyun's status, cultivators of the White Cloud Sword Saint's level might not even be qualified to meet him. Those who want to see Ye Liuyun now are either the Holy Lords of other Holy Lands or powerful figures of the Divine Path. In Ye Liuyun's eyes now, the White Cloud Sword Saint might not even be considered a worthy opponent.
