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

Ye Qingxian and Yun Yun were unfamiliar with this history, and Ye Xiu noticed their confusion, so he explained the importance of the Nine Venerables.

The Nine Venerables were important figures of that era; they were leaders of their respective races and also wielded the power of the Nine Secrets. This period is quite ancient, but it provides important references for our current cultivation. Ye Xiu took a deep breath, and Brother Wang, Cao Yusheng, was one of them, one of the earliest Celestial Venerables of our human race.

All of this made Ye Qingxian and Yun Yun even more curious about Han Paopao's background, and also provided them with more information for their future adventures.

"That's amazing, Brother Wang! You must have been through a lot, right?" Yunyun asked curiously.

Han Paopao smiled and nodded. "Of course, five thousand years has carried countless memories and experiences. But right now, I'm more concerned about our future adventures. What do you think?"

Looking at this group of like-minded companions, Ye Xiu felt a deep sense of emotion. Over the past five thousand years, they had each experienced different fates, yet now they had gathered together to face the unknown future.

Chapter 275 The Heavenly Venerable Who Transcends Tribulation

During their conversation, Ye Xiu and Han Paopao sat in the inn, discussing the concept of immortality. They agreed that everyone's understanding of immortality is unique, depending on their individual cultivation and comprehension.

Everyone's understanding of immortals is different, because the definition of an immortal is determined by one's own cultivation and comprehension. Ye Xiu said thoughtfully.

Han Paopao nodded. Indeed, cultivators at different levels have different understandings and perceptions of immortals. This is part of the joy of cultivation.

The conversation gradually turned to Han Paopao's own background. He frankly stated that he was a Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable, but he wasn't very familiar with the name Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

The Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable—that was millions of years ago. Now, with only fragments of memory, I can barely recall some pieces. Han Paopao smiled slightly.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment, then suddenly mentioned that in his first life, he was best friends with the Demon Lord Chonglou Shi Hao, and that Han Paopao seemed to share the same surname as the King of the Underworld, Cao. This reminder seemed to have awakened some fragments of Han Paopao's deeply buried memories.

The first life... Cao Yusheng... Han Paopao murmured to himself, his expression somewhat complicated.

Ye Xiu caught a glimpse of this scene, and while he was somewhat curious, he didn't delve into it. He then suggested that Han Paopao go find the Demon Lord Chonglou, who might be able to provide some answers about his origins.

Demon Lord Chonglou might be the key to your answer, after all, he and I shared a deep friendship in our first life. Ye Xiu's words hit the nail on the head.

Han Paopao nodded. Maybe...maybe it really is time to go find him.

The reason why the Ruthless Man and the Demon Lord Chonglou were together has been the subject of much speculation.

Perhaps they are allies, or perhaps they have other, deeper motives. Ye Xiu frowned slightly. Although he knew a great deal about his first life, the actions of Demon Lord Chonglou remained a mystery.

They decided to find the Demon Lord Chonglou as soon as possible to obtain more information and unravel these mysteries. In a quiet, open field, Han Paopao used the Qianzi Secret Divination to reveal a scene.

A man stands with his back to the onlookers, facing a deep abyss. Ahead, an eerie light intertwines with a mysterious barrier. This scene might be the location of the Demon Lord Chonglou, or perhaps a place hiding some secret.

Ye Xiu and Han Paopao both knew they urgently needed to unravel the mystery within the image, so they decided to act swiftly. This adventure was destined to be a journey full of unknowns and challenges.

During the simulation, Ye Xiu and Han Paopao watched the screen and saw a white-haired figure and another figure. The appearance of these two people made everyone present feel a powerful and fearful aura.

These two are not only Great Emperors, but may even have surpassed the Great Emperor level. A Quasi-Emperor muttered softly, revealing a look of awe.

Everyone trembled, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the two figures. Ye Xiu recognized the white-haired figure through deduction; it was none other than his beloved wife and younger sister, Ruthless. However, in the scene, she was walking side by side with the Demon Lord Chonglou, which made Ye Xiu's heart sink.

"Ruthless person..." Ye Xiu called softly, a deep sadness welling up inside him.

·· ······Requesting flowers·· ·······

The simulated scene became clearer and clearer, but suddenly, it shattered, and Han Paopao coughed up blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with difficulty, "The former secret has been discovered. Ruthless should have realized that we are simulating her situation."

Ye Xiu's heart tightened. He hadn't expected that the ruthless person had actually noticed their deductions and even made a move.

The ruthless one has noticed us; it seems she's currently facing pursuit from the Abyss. Ye Xiu tried to calm himself; he understood the ruthless one's actions and her current situation. Han Paopao sighed, "The ruthless one's strength is so great; we were almost crippled by her counterattack in the void."

... .... ...

The entire scene was filled with tension and uncertainty. Ye Xiu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

We must find her as soon as possible and help her escape the Abyss's pursuit. Ye Xiu stated his decision.

Everyone expressed their support, understanding that the ruthless man was in an extremely dangerous situation.

Ye Xiu decided to take swift action and personally venture onto this unknown path.

This adventure was destined to be full of challenges, but Ye Xiu was not afraid. He had only one belief in his heart: no matter how dangerous the road ahead was, he had to find the ruthless woman and rescue her from the abyss's pursuit.

When everyone faced the overwhelming power of the Ruthless Lord and the Demon Lord Chonglou, Ye Xiu felt deeply helpless and conflicted.

His heart was filled with longing for the ruthless woman and awe of her strength.

Ye Xiu silently made up his mind that he must find the ruthless person and rescue her from the abyss's pursuit.

Chapter 276 Azure Dragon Holy Land

"Our primary task now is to pinpoint the locations of Ruthless and Demon Lord Chonglou," Ye Xiu said resolutely, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Everyone agreed, shocked by the power of the Ruthless One and the Demon Lord Chonglou, yet filled with anticipation for the unknown adventure. Their deductions revealed that these two mysterious and powerful beings already considered them enemies.

Ruthless... Ye Xiu's voice carried a hint of bitterness, but within that bitterness lay even greater determination.

Han Paopao suddenly interjected: "During the deduction, I felt that the discovery of the 'Former Secret' was because the ruthless person's 'One-Four-Three' strength far exceeded our expectations. Her power almost reached the level above the Great Emperor."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. The ruthless person's strength exceeded their comprehension, which filled them with awe for the upcoming actions.

Han Paopao explained the limitations of the Qianzi Secret: Although the Qianzi Secret is powerful, it can only deduce a part of the picture for beings above the Great Emperor level, such as Ruthless Man and Demon Lord Chonglou, and cannot obtain detailed information.

"So how do we determine their exact location?" someone asked, puzzled.

After pondering for a moment, Han Paopao said, "Regarding the location of the super barrier, I can sense its presence, but it's only a vague feeling. Based on my speculation, the super barrier might be located around the Immortal Realm, because I can't find a similar barrier within the Holy Land."

Everyone fell into deep thought. Ye Xiu frowned and said, "The barrier might be part of the Immortal Realm. Perhaps we can find their traces by exploring the Immortal Realm."

For a moment, the room fell into a brief silence. Then, excitement and anticipation shone in everyone's eyes.

"Exploring the Immortal Realm has always been our dream," Han Paopao said, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

In their excitement, the group prepares to embark on their adventure to find the ruthless villain and the Demon Lord Chonglou. It is a journey full of unknowns, but they will forge ahead without hesitation on this unprecedented path.

On their journey to find the ruthless villain and the Demon Lord Chonglou, the group's hearts were heavy with anxiety. Throughout their travels, they couldn't help but be consumed by worry about the future and longing for the past.

Along the way, Yun Yun couldn't help but confess her feelings to Ye Xiu. She said frankly and sincerely: "Ye Xiu, I've always had a special feeling for you, perhaps because we spent a period of time together. I know you have a ruthless heart, but I'm willing to stay by your side and share everything with you."

Ye Xiu's expression stiffened slightly. He knew he couldn't reciprocate this feeling, because his heart already belonged to Ruthless. He could only softly utter a brief: "I'm sorry." Yun Yun looked at Ye Xiu, a flicker of understanding and disappointment in her eyes. She knew that Ye Xiu only had one person in his heart, and that person wasn't her. Although she felt a little sad, she didn't blame him; instead, she bravely expressed her understanding.

"It's alright, I understand. Everyone has their own destiny," Yun Yun smiled.

Ye Qingxian sighed softly, having experienced this delicate relationship firsthand. She looked at Han Paopao, trying to change the subject, and said, "Han Paopao, your temperament is truly unique, but I find it quite interesting..."

Han Paopao winked mischievously and teased Yun Yun, "I heard our captain isn't very interested. But I have an unparalleled aura, you know. How about it, give it a try?"

However, Yunyun firmly rejected him, waving her hand and saying: "Don't be silly, I don't want such a fickle man."

Amidst a burst of lighthearted laughter, Han Paopao looked helpless and touched his nose.

At this moment, despite the emotional entanglements, the atmosphere was light and humorous. Everyone on this journey has their own story, and these stories intertwine to form a rich and colorful tapestry. They may not be able to predict the future, but at least for this moment, they are willing to face it bravely.

Traversing planets and beyond sacred lands, Ye Xiu and his group arrived at the edge of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land. This sacred land was desolate and uninhabited, with countless stars dotting the depths of the universe. In this mysterious and ancient sacred land, they sensed a powerful energy, as if the entrance to the Immortal Realm was right before their eyes.

"We've arrived at the edge of the Azure Dragon Holy Land. The Immortal Realm lies ahead," Yun Yun said solemnly.

The Azure Dragon Sacred Land is an untouched holy land, with a harsh environment and extraordinary grandeur. In the distance, vast swathes of stars emit a faint, mysterious light, seemingly a passage connecting to the Immortal Realm.

The group stopped at the edge of the sacred land, facing a cosmic abyss, sensing the boundless mysteries it contained. In this silent holy land, the journey to find the ruthless man and the Demon Lord Chonglou became even more mysterious and thrilling.

Chapter 277 The Guardian of the Azure Dragon Holy Land!

Ye Xiu gazed at the distant stars, sensing a strange yet powerful energy. In this sacred land, he felt as if he could glimpse the existence of the Immortal Realm, and a surge of excitement welled up within him.

"We are about to enter the Immortal Realm," Ye Qingxian sighed, her longing and curiosity about the Immortal Realm gradually emerging in her heart.

Han Paopao clenched his fist excitedly, his eyes gleaming with a challenge. He had never imagined that he would one day be able to set foot in the Immortal Realm; for a former mortal, this was an unprecedented feat.

"Let's go, let's go together," Ye Xiu said with great enthusiasm, the purple-gold light around him shining even brighter.

Following Ye Xiu, the group ventured deeper into the Azure Dragon Holy Land. Amidst the stars, they occasionally encountered interstellar storms and energy fluctuations, but Ye Xiu consistently guided them forward steadily.

Suddenly, a blinding light flashed from the depths of the stars, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Within the light, a group of 27 figures gradually appeared. They were a powerful group, radiating an aura of righteousness, as brilliant as the stars themselves.

"This is the guardian of the Azure Dragon Holy Land," Yun Yun reminded everyone, her eyes flashing with vigilance.

The guardians spotted Ye Xiu and his group. Their sharp gazes revealed their hostility towards these outsiders. One guardian led the way, his cultivation unfathomable, emanating a strong aura of the Immortal Realm.

"Mortals, why have you trespassed into the Azure Dragon Sacred Land?" The guardian's voice resounded like thunder across the starry sky.

Ye Xiu's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He said boldly, "We're going to enter the Immortal Realm, so don't get in our way." His voice was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire Holy Land.

The guardians scoffed at this, refusing to believe these people were qualified to enter the Immortal Realm. A confrontation was about to erupt in this mysterious holy land.

As they traversed the sacred land, the group gazed at the colossal star of the Immortal Realm, all awestruck by its mysterious and immense existence. The Immortal Realm's barrier, formed by pink ripples, enveloped the entire star, resembling a mystical fairyland.

"Is the Immortal Realm really that big?" Yun Yun exclaimed, marveling at its immense scale.

Ye Xiu gazed calmly at the Immortal Realm, his eyes seemingly penetrating the barrier and allowing him to see everything within it. He pondered silently, realizing that faith in the Immortal Realm was merely a manifestation of people's yearning for the unknown, while he himself placed greater emphasis on tangible power and conviction.

Faith is a way for people to place their hopes on the unknown, but we must understand that our strength comes from actual struggle. Everyone has their own faith, and only by firmly believing in ourselves can we move forward better. Ye Xiu said calmly, his voice revealing a sense of composure and wisdom.

Ye Qingxian, Han Paopao, and Yun Yun all nodded silently, deeply inspired. They sensed a powerful force emanating from Ye Xiu, a force that transcended the mystique of the Immortal Realm and placed greater emphasis on personal struggle and conviction.

"Emperor Ye, your words have been very enlightening." Ye Qingxian said with a smile, her understanding of faith and power becoming clearer.

"Let's go, we're approaching the barrier of the Immortal Realm," Yun Yun led the group forward, already able to sense the edge of the Immortal Realm.

The group crossed the sacred ground and quickly approached the barrier of the Immortal Realm. Everyone could feel the powerful and mysterious energy within the barrier, as if a gigantic portal was about to open.

Finally, they arrived at the highest peak of a desolate star, gazing up at the edge of the Immortal Realm barrier. The barrier was formed by pink ripples, seemingly gentle yet containing an insurmountable power.

This is the barrier of the Immortal Realm. Yun Yun gazed ahead, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
