“Oh? Is that the cultivator from the Jiang Kingdom?” Immortal Jiu Chen suddenly showed interest.

Earlier, when Jian Wushuang had annihilated so many ghost cultivators in one move, Jiu Chen had already noticed him. However, Jian Wushuang had mysteriously disappeared later on. At the time, Jiu Chen had been busy controlling the grand formation and didn’t have the extra energy to pay further attention.

Now, upon hearing the mention of him again, he remembered that there was still a troublesome person who had yet to reveal himself.

Jiu Chen was quite wary of Jian Wushuang, for two reasons: one, Jian Wushuang could burn Thought power; and two, his Nine Prison Pagoda had fallen into Jian Wushuang’s hands.

“My life is only for resurrecting the Empress. Don’t even think about getting anything else out of me!” Chen Yuan, in that moment, exhibited the same righteous spirit as he had when he was a scholar.

Immortal Jiu Chen sneered, “Do you think you can hide it from me?”

With his strength, he could easily perform a soul search.

Asking questions was merely a formality.

If time weren’t pressing, he would have definitely searched Chen Yuan’s soul.

But right now, there was no need to waste time; advancing the plan was of utmost importance.

Even if that troublesome cultivator from the Jiang Kingdom posed some difficulties, once the plan succeeded, it wouldn’t matter anymore.

Li Miao, on the other hand, was quite curious about Jiang Shang.

His appearance and aura closely resembled that of the woman who had once saved Empress Yi many years ago.

“Alright, let’s begin!” Immortal Jiu Chen urged, then started gathering the spiritual bodies within the formation to begin the resurrection ritual for the Empress.

Outside, there was a Ghost Emperor, and here, there was another one.

However, this Ghost Emperor was different from the one outside.

This Ghost Emperor was a simplified version, with a much weaker aura, just right for a mortal.

“Li Miao, inject the soul body into Yi Ren’s body first, and leave the rest to me!” Immortal Jiu Chen handed the soul body to Li Miao, then walked towards Chen Yuan. With a sinister smile, he said calmly, “Young man, don’t worry. What I need is the karma on your body, not your life!”

At this, Li Miao also nodded, indicating that he wouldn’t take Chen Yuan’s life.

There was no need to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs; taking some karma was sufficient.

After all, he was a seeker of the Dao, not a madman who killed for pleasure. He wouldn’t add unnecessary slaughter.

Chen Yuan, however, appeared calm. Even if they intended to take his life, he didn’t care.

The world worked in mysterious ways.

When you were ready to die courageously, your opponent might just spare you one last mercy—not killing you, but instead taking away your final value, leaving you to face a woman full of guilt.

The main reason Chen Yuan wasn’t afraid of death was because he couldn’t face the Empress. The second reason was that he missed A’Zi.

In this world, there were gods and immortals, as well as vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts. Perhaps, if he died, he would be able to see A’Zi again.

But now, he couldn’t die.

Immortal Jiu Chen struck out with a palm. Chen Yuan showed no reaction, but his soul was forced out of his body.

As a soul, Chen Yuan felt an odd sensation in his body. Before he could get accustomed to it, Immortal Jiu Chen’s claw reached towards his forehead, extracting a strand of golden causality.

This was akin to a mundane version of the Causality Tribulation.

“Li Miao, step back!”

Immortal Jiu Chen held the causality thread and pressed it into the forehead of the imperial consort.

The causality thread, soul body, life force, and the remaining wisp of the imperial consort’s soul began to fuse.

Several forces repelled each other but gradually started to merge in Immortal Jiu Chen’s hands.

Once fully integrated, the imperial consort’s consciousness would be restored.

That was the major part.

The next task was to restore the body.

Li Miao was not idle either. The refined blood of cultivators he had collected earlier was intended for the imperial consort’s physical body.

Not only did he want to revive the imperial consort, but he also wanted her to reach the Infant Transformation level after revival, matching his own realm. Only then could he use her refined blood to break through to the Divine Aspect realm.

“Silence!”

Li Miao called softly.

A blood pool gradually manifested in the cave, finally solidifying.

Jian Wushuang, witnessing this scene, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with shock. “No wonder my thought power couldn’t detect it. The altar wasn’t in this space!”

He immediately understood where the altar had been summoned from.

It should have come from a spatial rift.

The altar did not exist in this space, or more specifically, in the Scarlet Eye Realm.

If he were to search for it, he wouldn’t have found it, even if he scoured all of Mangshan County.

But how did Qianzu Saintess know about it?

This was a point of suspicion.

As for why several major powers had descended here, it was likely due to information deliberately leaked by Li Miao and Immortal Jiu Chen.

In that case, Qianzu Saintess was probably just a pawn, manipulated by Li Miao and Immortal Jiu Chen.

At this thought, Jian Wushuang felt a chill run down his spine. In an instant, he regained his human form.

Because he had been exposed.

If they could locate the spatial rift and even place the altar within it, then either Immortal Jiu Chen or Li Miao must have had profound knowledge of spatial manipulation. No matter how thoroughly he concealed himself, his presence would be detected, even if his thought power covered everything.

So, he revealed himself immediately.

Since the altar had appeared, his goal had been achieved.

He desired both the life force and the sealed power within the altar.

His sudden appearance did not surprise Li Miao and Immortal Jiu Chen. It was as if everything had been calculated in advance.

As soon as he emerged, the altar emitted a beam of blood-red light, directly shining upon Jian Wushuang.

“Haha, we’ve been waiting for you!” Immortal Jiu Chen formed a hand seal and roared, “Bloodlight Technique, absorb!”

Buzz!

A powerful force pulled Jian Wushuang towards the altar.

Chen Yuan, watching this unfold, was also shocked. He hadn’t expected Jian Wushuang to be here, and from the looks of it, Jian Wushuang had clearly been trapped.

“Thought power, ignite!”

Jian Wushuang was unwilling to be defeated. He had come prepared and wouldn’t be captured so easily.

His burning divine power enveloped his entire body as he desperately resisted the bloodlight’s pull.

He had no intention of becoming nourishment for the altar.

However, Immortal Jiu Chen sneered at this moment. “Jian Wushuang, do you think your thought power can block everything? You underestimate me, Jiu Chen. You won’t be able to withstand it!”

“Moreover, the reason I’m called Jiu Chen is because I’ve experienced nine different worlds and know far more than you can imagine. Don’t think that just because you defeated me once, you can do as you please. This time, you’ll lose everything, including your powerful soul, which will become nourishment for the altar!”

Li Miao didn’t know much about Jian Wushuang and simply watched him coldly.

The overwhelming suction power made it impossible for Jian Wushuang to resist, even though he had pushed his thought power to its limits.

Buzz!

His body and soul had already begun to separate.

This time, he was truly done for.

If his soul entered the altar, it would be annihilated.

He wasn’t too concerned about death.

Trapped in this world, he had thought about what would happen if his soul was extinguished. Would he return to the Realm God Continent, or would he reincarnate in this world?

If he returned to the Realm God Continent, then he would immediately return to his true self.

That would, of course, be the best outcome.

If he entered the reincarnation cycle of this world, then he would reincarnate.

But which world he would be reborn in was uncertain.

However, doing so would waste his time.

And he was unwilling to be outsmarted by mere mortals.
