Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

Yun Yun interjected, "I've heard that even the Abyss Heaven didn't get the truth about the Immortal Realm. Is that true?"

The old man nodded slightly. Indeed, although the Abyss Heaven was powerful (2.8), it seemed that it had failed to break the blockade of the Immortal Realm.

Ye Xiu felt a surge of interest. "Senior, would you be willing to tell us about things that happened millions of years ago?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, your current cultivation level is not enough to understand that history. When you become truly powerful, I will definitely tell you everything that happened millions of years ago."

Ye Xiu nodded, "I will try my best."

Guided by the old man, the three of them exchanged many insights and experiences on cultivating immortality with him.

The old man seemed to have some understanding of them.

Chapter 268

After spending the night in the small town, Ye Xiu and the others decided to split up and search for clues the next day. Worried that the Ruthless One might be with the Demon Lord Chonglou, they decided to find her whereabouts first.

The next morning, the two female companions bid farewell early, showing their genuine concern for Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu then prepared to head to the Dao Tian Sect, the place where the strongest in the holy land resided.

Ye Xiu used the Flying Thunder God Flash to instantly arrive at the Dao Tian Sect, a magnificent island where many cultivators were gathered, listening to the teachings of an enlightened being.

On his way, he suddenly noticed a woman's gaze fixed on him; her cultivation was quite remarkable. This woman, confident and beautiful, strolled slowly towards Ye Xiu.

"Great Emperor, are you also here to listen to the teachings of the 27 enlightened beings?" the woman asked with a smile.

Ye Xiu smiled faintly; he was just passing by and had no intention of listening.

The woman was somewhat surprised. "Oh? The Great Emperor's cultivation should be quite profound, so why isn't he interested in the teachings of those who have attained enlightenment?"

Ye Xiu's eyes flashed. The Daoist masters of Dao Tian Sect might be able to give me some inspiration, but I don't care much about their teachings.

The woman revealed a fierce expression. The emperor was so confident, he must be a divine body of some power, right?

Ye Xiu didn't answer, and walked straight towards the Dao Tian Sect. The woman watched his departing figure, her brows furrowing slightly, somewhat surprised by his calm demeanor.

However, she had no intention of letting Ye Xiu off so easily, and followed him with graceful steps.

"Your Majesty, my name is Zixia. What is your name?" Zixia asked.

Ye Xiu remained calm, refusing to disclose anything. Zixia smiled, "So mysterious, Your Majesty. Won't you say a few more words to this curious young lady?"

Ye Xiu ignored her and continued walking. Zixia was somewhat displeased, but still unwilling to give up. She moved swiftly and blocked Ye Xiu's path.

"Your Majesty, do you hate me?" Zixia asked with a charming smile.

Ye Xiu glanced at her. "I'm just here to find some information. I don't like pointless entanglements."

Zixia, however, was enjoying herself. "Your Majesty, you are so cold-hearted. I have always been deeply curious about you. I wonder if I could become your confidante?"

Ye Xiu frowned. "I have no such intention." A flash of anger crossed Zixia's eyes. "Great Emperor, don't underestimate me."

Just as Ye Xiu was about to continue his journey, suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted from the island. This moved Zixia deeply. "Great Emperor, how could there be such a fierce battle on the island?"

Ye Xiu's eyes sharpened. "Let me go take a look." He then transformed into a streak of light and instantly flew towards the battle site.

Zixia watched him leave with a curious expression, a sly smile playing on her lips. She decided to follow Ye Xiu to see what he had discovered on the island.

Amidst the fierce battle, Ye Xiu transformed into a streak of light, instantly arriving at the battleground. The island was now in complete chaos, cultivators scattered and fleeing, and the aftershocks of the battle filled the sky with thick smoke.

In the distance, Ye Xiu saw a group of cultivators engaged in a fierce battle with a powerful opponent. The opponent's figure was ethereal and mysterious, and a powerful aura caused the entire island to tremble.

It was indeed going to be a major battle. Ye Xiu was secretly on guard, and he focused intently on the fight.

At the same time, Zixia also caught up and quickly approached Ye Xiu when she saw him stop there.

"What's going on?" Ye Xiu asked coldly.

Zixia leaned closer, her expression excited. "Your Majesty, this battle is truly thrilling!"

Ye Xiu ignored him, his gaze remaining fixed on the battlefield. During the battle, the mysterious opponent seemed to sense Ye Xiu's presence and turned to look at them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" the mysterious opponent shouted angrily. 140

Ye Xiu remained expressionless. "I was just passing by and had no intention of interfering in your battle."

A hint of wariness flashed in the eyes of the mysterious opponent. "Just passing by? Do you know that this is the territory of the Dao Tian Sect? Outsiders are not allowed to trespass!"

Ye Xiu remained unmoved. "I have no interest in the Dao Tian Sect, and I won't stay here."

Zixia watched the standoff with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, wondering how this battle would end.

Meanwhile, on the distant battlefield, the battle raged on. It was a duel between emperors, and the aftershocks of the battle were affecting the entire holy land.

The clash between the two emperors caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and energy fluctuations spread wildly. The cultivators on the island quickly moved away from the battlefield, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Ye Xiu pondered to himself that this mysterious opponent was indeed quite strong. He carefully observed every detail of the battle, trying to find an opportunity.

Chapter 269 Is this your wife?

After observing for a moment, Ye Xiu noticed that the two Great Emperors on the battlefield were still locked in a stalemate, each taking turns attacking and defending. He decided to take the opportunity to leave, since he had no interest in the Dao Tian Sect and did not want to get involved in this battle.

Just as he was preparing to set off, one of the two emperors on the battlefield, a cultivator dressed in white robes, suddenly let out a powerful roar. This roar was like a dragon's cry, its surging aura causing the entire holy land to tremble.

At the same time, his opponent also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to defend himself, but he fell into the white-robed cultivator's exquisite sword moves.

"This is the Dragon Sound Sword Technique!" Some cultivators exclaimed in surprise as they watched from afar.

Ye Xiu was also amazed. The white-robed cultivator in front of him had mastered such amazing swordsmanship that even the air on the battlefield trembled because of it.

On the battlefield, the white-robed cultivator's swordplay grew increasingly fierce amidst the roar of dragons, his swordsmanship seemingly imbued with the power of all living beings in the world. Meanwhile, his opponent gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and his defensive line began to crumble.

A glint of light flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes. He could sense a special energy gathering in the air on the battlefield, as if it were preparing for a powerful move.

The white-robed cultivator on the battlefield suddenly stopped his attack, deflecting the blows with his sword. A confident smile appeared on his face. He gently cupped his hands to his opponent, indicating, "I do not wish to fight any longer. You may leave."

The opponent chuckled, stopped his attack, and turned to leave.

The white-robed cultivator smiled slightly as he watched his opponent's retreating figure. His swordsmanship was so exquisite that everyone felt it was beyond their reach. Ye Xiu took a deep breath; he sensed the white-robed cultivator's aura, a familiar, almost déjà vu. He pondered whether to unravel this mystery.

Meanwhile, Zixia was also watching the white-robed cultivator intently. Her heart was filled with curiosity and admiration; the emperor's strength truly left her speechless.

The white-robed cultivator sensed Ye Xiu's gaze. He looked up into the distance, his eyes meeting Ye Xiu's.

"Are you also here to listen to the teachings of an enlightened being?" the white-robed monk asked.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly. "I'm just passing by. I'm not interested in the teachings of those who have attained enlightenment."

The white-robed cultivator nodded. "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer."

With that, he flashed and disappeared into the distance as a beam of light.

Zixia gazed at the white-robed cultivator's retreating figure and excitedly said to Ye Xiu: "Great Emperor, this senior's swordsmanship is truly amazing! It has made the battlefield so exciting!"

Ye Xiu remained silent, but a sense of unease lingered in his mind. He felt that the white-robed cultivator's swordsmanship bore a striking resemblance to someone else's. However, he didn't reveal his thoughts, simply offering a slight smile.

The cultivators on the battlefield dispersed, and peace returned to normal. Ye Xiu decided to continue his journey, searching for clues, while Zixia stayed by his side, her curiosity about Ye Xiu growing stronger.

Ye Xiu and Zixia continued their journey, stopping at a small town on the island to rest and prepare for their search for clues about the Ruthless Empress. Zixia watched Ye Xiu's retreating figure, her curiosity growing ever stronger.

"Great Emperor, what exactly is your identity that has attracted the attention of a Daoist who has attained Dao in the Dao Heaven Sect?" Zixia asked with great interest.

Ye Xiu smiled calmly, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator, searching for answers just like you."

Zixia was somewhat dissatisfied. An ordinary cultivator? I don't believe it. Your performance on the battlefield just now was anything but ordinary.

Ye Xiu looked at her, perhaps, there are some things that you and I cannot understand.

The two rested for a while in the small town. The next morning, Zixia bid farewell to Ye Xiu, deciding to seek her own destiny and no longer follow him. Ye Xiu understood her decision, and the two parted ways at the town gate.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we will meet again in the Holy Land. We can chat then." Zixia waved goodbye.

Ye Xiu smiled and nodded, wishing you all the best on your cultivation journey, and perhaps we really will meet again.

After Zixia left, Ye Xiu embarked on a journey alone to find clues. He was always thinking about Ruthless Man and was also curious about the strength of Dao Tian Sect.

During his journey to find the Ruthless Man, Ye Xiu encountered a woman with alluring beauty and noble bearing. This woman developed a strong interest in Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu's heart belonged only to the Ruthless Man. To escape the woman's advances, he unhesitatingly showed her a sketch of the Ruthless Man.

The portrait depicts the ruthless girl's growth from age eight to adulthood, portraying her refined and elegant appearance and graceful charm. The woman was captivated by the beauty in the portrait, her eyes sparkling with amazement.

"Is this your wife?" The woman stared intently at the portrait, a look of amazement on her face.

Chapter 270 Yes, she is my wife.

Ye Xiu nodded in affirmation, "Yes, she is my wife, and she is also the goal of my trip."

The woman lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking up, advising that there were many quasi-emperors in the Emperor's Hall, and going there rashly might cause offense. Why not wait a while? Perhaps a better opportunity would arise.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly. Everyone has their own path, different from the Great Emperor's. I have my own purpose, and time is very important to me.

The woman felt a slight sense of helplessness, but also a quiet admiration. It turned out everyone had their own 'path,' different from the Great Emperor's. Ye Xiu, without glancing to the side, walked straight towards the Heavenly Sect Hall. Watching his retreating figure, the woman felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

As Ye Xiu stepped into the Heavenly Sect Hall, a powerful aura swept over him. The hall was solemn and dignified, with a large flow of people of varying cultivation levels, ranging from Saint Kings to Quasi-Emperors, demonstrating the unique nature of this place.

Inside the hall, Ye Xiu sensed a mysterious and ancient power, as if time itself had stood still. He meticulously searched every corner, trying to find clues about the ruthless man. As if by fate, a highly skilled cultivator noticed Ye Xiu and approached.

"You're new here, aren't you? I don't think you're from the Heavenly Sect." The cultivator's expression was calm, but a chilling sharpness shone in his eyes.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly. "Yes, I have come from afar. I would like to ask if anyone has seen a woman named Ruthless?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed the cultivator's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "A ruthless person? I've never heard of that name before. Who are you, and how come you're connected to this ruthless person?"

A sense of unease welled up in Ye Xiu's heart, but he calmed himself down and said, "I am Ye Xiu, this is my wife's name."
