The path to immortality is severed, and the Dharma-ending catastrophe is common knowledge among cultivators.
After the dark ages, the gods perished, and immortals vanished, leaving no one able to cultivate beyond the Purple Mansion realm.
Eternal life has become a legend.
However, in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, there emerged a Master Qingye who has lived for over a thousand years…
Li Muyang was very eager to meet this Master Qingye to see if he had truly attained immortality.
Living for more than a thousand years without dying is like a myth in this Dharma-ending era.
Anyone would be curious—could it be that the path to immortality in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty has not been cut off?
But when Li Muyang asked, Fairy Liuli sighed and shook her head gently.
“Master said that evil spirits restrain cultivators, they are the bane of our kind.”
“The higher the cultivation, the stronger the restraint.”“If he were to come to Lijiang in person, I’m afraid all the evil gods within the Ancient Grudge Well would riot.”
“At that time, if the situation gets out of control and the evil gods invade the human world, it would be a disaster.”
“Therefore, for this operation, we can only rely on the Demon-Suppressing Master from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.”
“Lord Wuming…”
Fairy Liuli spoke softly, looking at Li Muyang: “For the upcoming operation, we should remain as observers and not get too involved in the battle.”
“The Ancient Grudge Well is unpredictable and dangerous; legend has it that it is another world of evil beings, with many ancient evil gods lying dormant.”
“Our goal is to seal the Ancient Grudge Well, preventing the evil beings within from continuing to emerge and harm the world.”
Fairy Liuli reminded him, seemingly worried that Li Muyang would act recklessly and get harmed by the evil beings.
Li Muyang smiled and said, “Understood, thank you for the reminder, fairy.”
Just hanging back and observing to clear the level?
This is a high-difficulty system game.
Where in the world is there such a good thing?
He was definitely going to take action himself this time.
But of course, there was no need to explain this to Fairy Liuli.
He and Fairy Liuli stood and sat on the rooftop of the Lijiang County government office, waiting for the arrival of a first-class sorcerer.
Soon, under the night sky, four streaks of light flew towards them.
The four beams of light, trailing long tails, streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, quickly descending into the courtyard of the Lijiang County government office.
The so-called four sorcerers of Ma Wang Chen Min appeared before Li Muyang.
Three men and one woman, all exuding an unsettling and awe-inspiring aura.
Li Muyang subconsciously frowned.
【Ma Zhongyao】, 【Wang Zifu】, 【Chen Tai’a】, 【Ming Yuanjing】.
The four Demon-Suppressing Masters landed in the courtyard, wearing the white divine robes of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, with extraordinary auras and stern expressions.
However, above their heads, all of them had red health bars.
Hostility?
Something was off!
Li Muyang discreetly moved behind Fairy Liuli, silently observing the situation and preparing to respond.
But after these four Demon-Suppressing Masters with red health bars arrived, they did not attack Li Muyang.
They merely glanced at him and then went on to converse with Fairy Liuli.
After a brief exchange, through Fairy Liuli’s introduction, Li Muyang also exchanged a few words with the four Demon-Suppressing Masters.
On the surface, these four Demon-Suppressing Masters seemed quite friendly towards him.
If it weren’t for the red health bars above their heads, who would have thought these four beings would be hostile creatures?
After seeing the blood pupils presented by Li Muyang, all four of them became serious.
“In that case, please lead the way, Fairy Liuli and Mr. Guan.”
“If we can seal the Ancient Grudge Well and prevent the evil beings inside from spilling out, it would be an immeasurable merit.”
According to Fairy Liuli’s briefing, the land of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty occasionally had evil beings wandering, poisoning living creatures.
These evil beings were bizarre and inexplicable, using evil magic to contaminate living beings, turning them into equally strange evil beings.
And legend has it that the source of these evil beings is the evil world beneath the Ancient Grudge Well.
If the Ancient Grudge Well could be sealed, perhaps there would no longer be evil beings harming people in the world.
The group of six left Lijiang County and headed straight into the mountains and forests outside.
Li Muyang, holding two blood pupils, watched as the blood-stained eyeballs rolled around in his palm, continuously guiding the direction.
Soon, the six of them arrived deep in the forest and finally stopped beside a huge sinkhole.
Moonlight spilled over the sinkhole, with steep and rugged cliffs surrounding it, as if an axe had chiseled them.
Within the sinkhole was a winding cavern leading down into the unknown.
“Is the Ancient Grudge Well right here?”
Demon-Suppressing Master Ming Yuanjing asked in surprise.
The other three Demon-Suppressing Masters flew around the sinkhole before finally returning to Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli.
The four Demon-Suppressing Masters exchanged glances.
“No trace of evil qi detected…”
“Everything seems normal…”
“It doesn’t seem like a place of evil spirits…”
The four Demon-Suppressing Masters frowned slightly, seemingly doubting whether the two blood pupils guided by Li Muyang had led them astray.
But indeed, these two blood pupils were pointing towards the cavern in the sinkhole.
“Let’s go in and explore.”
After communicating with Fairy Liuli, the four Demon-Suppressing Masters reached a consensus.
Li Muyang still led the way with the blood pupils, with the other five protecting him from behind.
The six descended to the bottom of the sinkhole and walked towards the pitch-black cavern ahead.
It was a natural cave, about a zhang high at the entrance, with a cold aura emanating from within.
Upon entering the cave, the ground was slippery and muddy, with stalactites hanging from the ceiling constantly dripping water.
The entire cave was mired in mud.
Fortunately, everyone was capable of flight, directly levitating and heading towards the depths of the cavern.
At first, the interior of the cave was vast and deep.
However, the further in they went, the narrower the path became.
There were even several places where they had to fly to enter the higher cave openings.
Flying to the end, the cavern where the six of them were became narrower and narrower.
Until they could no longer fly and had to squat on the ground, squeezing their way forward without regard for appearances.
The Blood Pupil in Li Muyang’s hand was still spinning, indicating the direction ahead.
The path was so difficult that even Li Muyang began to doubt whether they had found the right place, when suddenly a faint mist surged through the narrow tunnel.
【You have entered the Ancient Grudge Well】
【Carry the blood pupils into the Ancient Grudge Well–Completed】
【New Task–Please find the General in the Ancient Grudge Well】
The system notifications that popped up in his field of vision surprised Li Muyang.
Had they actually found the right place?
Why was the entrance to the Ancient Grudge Well so peculiar?
He quickly turned around, intending to speak to the people following him.
However, when he turned around, Li Muyang was stunned.
The tunnel behind him was empty; Fairy Liuli and the other four Demon-Suppressing Masters were nowhere to be seen.
The six of them had been squeezing through the same narrow tunnel, but now only Li Muyang was left.
“Could it be that the Blood Pupil can only bring one person in?”
Li Muyang wondered to himself.
Could it be that he had to start playing solo again?
Li Muyang walked on for a while, and suddenly the space in the tunnel expanded, and he no longer had to squat.
At the same time, the mist in the air dissipated, and Li Muyang saw that he was standing amidst crisscrossing ridges.
In the distance, houses stood in an orderly fashion, intersected by paths, clearly a quiet little village.
