Chapter 1544: Chapter 1544: Starting to Have a Clue

Lord Chen remained silent, watching Jiang Xiaobai’s actions and seeming to understand something–a trace of apprehension flickered in the depth of his eyes.

In the end, he still sighed.

“What’s wrong? Why the sigh all of a sudden?”

Qin Ruonan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lord Chen: “Why do I feel that, ever since the Devil’s Cave was unsealed and the Path to Immortality was opened, you’ve been acting all mysterious? What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s nothing, just unsure whether it’s good or bad for us to explore so many secrets of the era of the Heavenly Court.”

Qin Ruonan curled her lips: “We’re just looking for some information, what are you worried about? They say the more you know, the more despair you feel, but don’t you want to know what exactly happened?”

“What’s the use in knowing? Can it change anything, or are you suggesting that knowing the secrets of Xin might bring some opportunities?”

Lord Chen sighed helplessly.

Qin Ruonan and Gong Yuxin looked at Lord Chen with strange expressions for a moment.

Why did this guy who had always been by their side suddenly seem different?

“You…”

Just as Qin Ruonan was about to say something, another sigh came from Jiang Xiaobai.

“I thought we could uncover the truth, but it turns out you guys don’t know much either.”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, put away the acquired Sky Spirit treasures, and kept turning over the two treasures of merit.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ning put down the jade slip in her hands and came closer. Seeing the two treasures of merit, she was also shocked!

“What level of treasures are these, why do they give me an overwhelming sense of indefensibility?”

Gu Ning was utterly bewildered!

Being a mighty Immortal Emperor, she had seen many treasures and could even suppress and control the Innate Demon-Suppressing Sword in her hands.

Even when facing supreme powerhouses, she never felt such suffocation, yet now, she felt fear in the presence of a treasure?

“These are treasures of merit, forged by the merit of heaven and earth, sacred and inviolable, it’s normal to feel this way.”

Jiang Xiaobai casually said, remembering the suffocation he felt the first time he faced the merit tablet, but it was nothing serious.

“These treasures can clean the edge body space, though slow, the effect is very good; I reckon that using them to clean the edge body space now could even earn heavenly merit!”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, looking towards the grey-robed elder: “You were right, there is indeed a way here to deal with the old troubles of Devil’s Cave.”

The grey-robed elder frowned: “Why mention this now? But why did you just sigh?”

“Nothing much, I just thought I could learn something through the spirit of the device, but it turns out they don’t know much either, yet there’s one thing…”

Jiang Xiaobai’s expression became solemn: “The crisis of the era of the Heavenly Court started from the edge body space; it appears that the different races then are these different races now!”

“It’s just that the different races now are not as formidable as they were then.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

Doesn’t that mean the current situation might repeat the cycle?

“No worries, at least the edge body spaces nowadays are not as tough as before, see I’ve already tackled edge body spaces of two worlds consecutively.”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled: “Once I increase my strength, even the troubles of the Earth Immortal realm can be handled, though it might take a bit longer.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, Jiang Xiaobai’s achievements were evident.

Three thousand worlds, intermediary worlds, even the reboot of the Path to Immortality, all were stirred up by Jiang Xiaobai himself.

As long as he could break through to the supreme tier, perhaps even becoming an Immortal Emperor would suffice, and then he might sweep across the world!

However, no one noticed that after Jiang Xiaobai finished his speculation, a trace of relaxation flickered in the depths of Lord Chen’s eyes, and his whole being seemed as if relieved.

“You’ve been really strange lately!”

Feeling the movement beside her, Gong Yuxin couldn’t hide her surprise, “Are you still the Lord Chen I know, or has someone possessed you? You have sighed at least three times since you entered the room!”

“What’s the matter with you!”

Hearing this, Lord Chen affectionately rubbed Gong Yuxin’s head, “Seeing you like this, I can’t help but worry.”

“Lord Chen, this is the first time you have been so gentle with me. Are you really the Lord Chen I know?”

At this moment, Gong Yuxin revealed her seductive side, which made Lord Chen stare in astonishment. Had he fallen into a trap?

Just as the situation became awkward, Jiang Xiaobai clapped his hands.

“Now that I understand the situation, although the trouble was significant, we have a lead, let’s go.”

“Shouldn’t we seal this secret area first?”

However, everyone shook their heads: “There’s no way to seal this place.”

In the end, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t dwell too much on these issues, using the remaining time to gather all the treasures and resources from the other tents first.

After all, these were resources, and even if he couldn’t use them, someone else would; this has always been his way!

Wherever he passes, not even a blade of grass grows!

Spending half a day emptying all the tents that could be emptied, Jiang Xiaobai finally released everyone from the Pagoda.

“What next? There might be other creature eggs in this secret area, but it will take quite a bit of time to find them.”

Qin Ruonan raised an eyebrow: “Are we just going to ignore them?”

“Can’t manage it; those creatures aren’t that strong, and breaking out of their shells would only yield Sky Spirits… It seems we need to make another trip to the Emperor’s Mausoleum to ask if there’s a better way to handle this.”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, this secret area was no good place.

As always, any site of a battlefield was no good place, capable of spawning all sorts of bizarre entities.

“Forget it, let’s leave. There’s nothing worth undergoing here, I originally thought that the lost souls could provide you with some practice, but now it seems unnecessary.”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Qiongyu and smiled, “Let’s go, let’s head back.”

With that, the group left the secret area. What the cultivators from the Earth Immortal world in this place would do, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t care less.

After all, searching for the creature eggs was impossible, as was sealing the secret area, what could he do?

Was he supposed to spend the remaining year of his life fighting here?

He, Jiang Xiaobai, was no fool!

Just as the group left the secret area and came outside, Gu Ning suddenly frowned and looked into the distance.

There stood three figures, all of them Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses!

“It’s those two again.”

Gu Ning raised an eyebrow: “Let’s not worry about them; we’ll just do what we need to do.”

After she spoke, Gu Ning really did ignore them, and Qin Ruonan directly teleported everyone back to the upper layer of the demon cave world.

After they left, the three Immortal Emperors showed cold smiles on their faces.

“This woman doesn’t seem to have noticed anything, so we need not indulge her. Let’s go in and make our move.”

The leader spoke, and immediately, the three figures dove directly into the entrance of the secret area.

After they entered, several more groups of Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses, disguising their presence, rushed inside.

Soon, the secret area began to tremble incessantly, and many cultivators seeking fortunes inside were screaming as they fled!

“Damn it, why are Immortal Emperors fighting inside? How is anyone supposed to have any fun?”
