Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 20 Beyond the Underworld

The concept of immortals is ethereal and unreal; no one in the world of cultivators would readily believe it. Those who try to feign supernatural abilities often end up being targeted by someone with a sword drawn.

However, since Qi Zhe met Ye Fan, his deliberately mysterious demeanor has caused Ye Fan to lose his composure and become extremely strange.

Ye Fan found it utterly outrageous. Although he had been cultivating for a relatively short time, he knew what kind of supernatural power it took to predict the past and future. Having such an ability was no different from that of a god or a true immortal.

But Qi Zhe remained low-key at this moment. He gave Ye Fan a mysterious smile and said in a low voice, "If I were a true immortal god, I would surely be sitting high in the heavens. What would I need to cultivate? It's just some divination techniques!"

"The Way of Calculation." Ye Fan looked on with suspicion, and couldn't help but feel even more awe for the cultivation world before him, the full picture of which he had not yet explored.

Qi Zhe looked at Ye Fan, who was gradually calming down, and didn't say much. He began to quietly comprehend the other shore realm that he had just broken through to.

"The Other Shore Realm is already the pinnacle of cultivation in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. After reaching the Great Perfection, one can step into the Dao Palace Secret Realm." Qi Zhe looked at the various changes in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm within his body, his joy overflowing.

The Wheel Sea Secret Realm possesses boundless potential. It is located three inches below the navel and is the place where cultivation begins. The Wheel of Life within it is the origin of cultivators, and the essence contained within the Wheel of Life is the source of their power.

The Wheel of Life was enveloped by the Sea of ​​Bitterness and sank beneath its boundless depths. Its surging essence transformed into the life spring within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and as the essence emerged, it reflected a divine bridge. Now, the divine bridge within Qi Zhe's body has crossed the Sea of ​​Bitterness and reached the other shore.

He has completely become a cultivator of the Other Shore Realm, and his path to entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm is smooth. Perhaps it won't be long before he has enough strength to compete with the world's geniuses.

Moreover, strange phenomena are now appearing in his Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Although it is still impossible to determine what kind of phenomena they are, Qi Zhe feels that they should be quite amazing and no less than those strange phenomena.

"Sigh." Just as Qi Zhe was pondering, the sigh beside him made him open his eyes, and he immediately saw Ye Fan staring at him with a hesitant expression on his face.

As Qi Zhe opened his eyes again, Ye Fan, after a moment of hesitation, took a deep breath and suddenly said to Qi Zhe, "Brother, your Taoist magic is profound, and you are proficient in divination. Can you tell whether I will return to my hometown?"

Ye Fan looked on with anticipation. Although he felt that Qi Zhe was being a bit mysterious, he also felt that he might have some real skills. Although it was a test, he also wanted to know the answer, and he was extremely conflicted.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe frowned and looked into Ye Fan's eyes. He knew that Ye Fan had always wanted to return to his hometown after embarking on the path of cultivation, but he was a few years too late and could only remain silent in front of his parents' graves.

After a moment, Qi Zhe suddenly said, "Strive to cultivate diligently, young man. The road ahead is long and the return date is uncertain."

After saying that, Qi Zhe decided not to pay any more attention to Ye Fan. He closed his eyes and continued to cultivate silently, ignoring Ye Fan's calls, which made Ye Fan scratch his head in frustration.

Qi Zhe's answer was somewhat ambiguous, as if he said everything, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like he said nothing at all, which drove Ye Fan crazy.

"What does this mean?!" Ye Fan looked at Qi Zhe, who was sitting cross-legged like a bell, and had no one to answer his questions.

Ye Fan's outburst didn't last long. With a 'plop', the long-silent pool of the underworld resounded, and Duan De, who had been submerged for a long time, finally surfaced.

At this moment, he was completely encased in black ice, and the chill he exuded caused everything around him to frost over. This distracted Ye Fan, who was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and his expression became strange. "Master Duan, you've finally come up. I thought you had jumped into the lake to commit suicide. It seems you've finally calmed down," Ye Fan said with concern, but his words angered Duan De so much that he cursed.

Duan De broke through the ice, shaking off the chill. His already ashen face darkened further upon hearing this. He was furious at Ye Fan's words and couldn't help but roar:
"You little brat, are you doing this on purpose?! I really wish I could kill you!"

Duan De's expression was extremely distorted. He went deep into the Nether Pool to retrieve the green bronze, but unexpectedly, he was mocked by Ye Fan as soon as he came up, who actually said that he was going to jump into the lake.

Upon hearing the commotion, Qi Zhe stood up and looked at the rather disheveled Duan De with a strange expression, which aroused Duan De's suspicion as he had been observing his expression.

Duan Dezi, who was by the pool, saw that Qi Zhe had already sensed something was wrong, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you notice something was off about that green bronze a long time ago, and secretly followed this kid to get there first?"

He has always been straightforward, and even though Qi Zhe is a disciple of Yao Guang, he spoke frankly and was even eager to try, making the atmosphere quite tense.

Qi Zhe revealed a strange smile and said, "Master Duan missed out on a priceless treasure earlier, and now he's taking his anger out on me. That doesn't make sense. Are you trying to take advantage of my youth?"

“You’re obviously not a good person. As a disciple of Yaoguang, walking around here alone, only a fool would believe you don’t have ulterior motives!” Duan De’s expression was firm. He was now certain that this kid might have really taken the green copper.

Qi Zhe smiled slightly and said, "Haha, it's just a piece of green copper. I didn't take it when it was right in front of me. If I wanted it, it would have been in my hands back then. Why would I need to meet you here?"

Qi Zhe's words seemed to have a deeper meaning, leaving Duan De speechless and suspicious for a moment. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Just tell me what kind of trick you're up to, kid. Is it fun to play riddles with me?"

With Duan De's words, the tense atmosphere finally dissipated, and Ye Fan, who had been somewhat nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I had heard that Master Duan's tomb raiding skills were unparalleled in the Eastern Wilderness. He once ventured deep into the Ji family cemetery to explore the ancient tomb of the God King. Now, a large tomb lies beneath this cold pool. Perhaps this is the time for Master Duan to show his skills!"

Qi Zhe's words revealed a lot of information, which startled Duan De. He felt as if his secrets had been exposed, and his expression changed drastically.

But this made Duan De think deeply. After just a moment's thought, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "So that's how it is!"

He pulled out a bunch of geomantic tools from his pocket and used them to outline the terrain of the primitive ruins on the ground. Before long, he had drawn a mysterious topographical map on the ground.

"This primitive ruin has a strange terrain, where the forces of yin and yang coexist harmoniously. The volcano is actually a point of extreme yang, while this cold pool is a point of extreme yin. What a brilliant technique!" Duan De exclaimed repeatedly, his expression moved.

"Huh?" Ye Fan stood by the terrain map, looking at the map on the ground that resembled a yin-yang symbol, and felt inexplicably moved.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at the cold pool and whispered, "I saw it long ago that the Demon Emperor had set up two tombs, one for Yin and one for Yang. The Yang tomb on the volcano was just a decoy; his body and all his possessions are in the Yin tomb!"

"Without a second thought, that desolate tower must be beneath this icy pool, having slumbered alongside the Demon Emperor for ten thousand years!"
