The next moment, from the Skeleton Celestial Venerable, a purple light shot up into the sky. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit!" Chu Qin, Xuan Wu Tian Zun, and Long Xue thought immediately.

Within the purple light was a very burly figure, its body filled with destruction and killing intent!

"Who are you to dare intrude upon my abode uninvited!" the figure within the purple light coldly interrogated Chu Qin and the others.

As soon as the words were spoken, the purple light gathered a surge of True Yuan, blasting towards Chu Qin and the others.

However, before the energy of the purple light could touch Chu Qin and his companions, it was firmly intercepted by Xuan Wu Tian Zun’s Divine Power!

"Venerate, you’re actually a Celestial Venerable too!" the purple light expressed slight surprise towards Xuan Wu Tian Zun.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are already dead, why not pass on your strength to the next generation! Of course, I’m not really asking for your permission!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said coldly.

"Have you ever considered, that after your death, someone might seize your last chance of survival?" the purple light seemed somewhat afraid.

"Do you think you still have a chance to live?" As Xuan Wu Tian Zun’s voice fell, a terrifying Divine Power surged upward, directly turning the purple light into nothingness!

Seeing this, Xuan Wu Tian Zun, Chu Qin, and Long Xue were dumbfounded!

The Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit, destroyed?

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun, was that not the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit?" Chu Qin immediately realized.

"Indeed, it’s not the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so fragile!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun nodded, "It seems we were happy for nothing."

Chu Qin fell into a slight contemplation.

The System had tasked him with seizing the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit; hence, one must exist within these two Immortal-Rank Cave Mansions!

If it wasn’t here, could it be in the first mansion, the True Flame Celestial Venerable’s abode?

This would be troublesome!

"It seems that the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit is in the first mansion," Chu Qin said, "Xuan Wu Tian Zun, we may have to make a trip to the True Flame Celestial Venerable’s cave abode!"

The most important reason was Chu Qin’s concern for Li Qingcheng, aside from checking if the first mansion had the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit.

"Okay!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun immediately nodded, "Lord Chu Qin, take all three Divine Artifacts."

"Hmm!" Chu Qin did not hesitate, his hand directly grasping the hilt of Kokutō.

However, the moment Chu Qin grabbed the hilt of the sword, his consciousness shook again!

This took Chu Qin by surprise; the Skeleton Celestial Venerable’s final strength had dissipated, yet Kokutō could still deliver such a mental shock!

What came next was even more astonishing!

It was seen that the blood on Kokutō began to crawl up Chu Qin’s arm along the blade.

In an instant, Chu Qin began to howl in agony!

"Venerable Xuan Wu, what’s happening?" Long Xue, seeing the pained Chu Qin, asked Xuan Wu Tian Zun urgently.

"Not good, this blood is actually the flesh of a Celestial Venerable!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun exclaimed hastily, "We were wrong, the one with the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit wasn’t this skeleton, but the Celestial Venerable whose flesh is this blood! The Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit resides within the blood, and now, it’s trying to use this blood to attach itself to Lord Chu Qin and be reborn!"

"What kind of creature is this, truly immortal throughout the eons!"

"Ah? What do we do now?" Long Xue exclaimed in shock.

At that moment, Chu Qin’s eyes suddenly turned blood red. He had heard Xuan Wu Tian Zun’s words and knew that this blood was the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit and that it wanted to seize his body!

However, Chu Qin did not resist; instead, he used his Divine Power to let the mysterious Celestial Venerable’s blood and Primordial Spirit surge into his own body!

"Lord Chu Qin, stop, it’s too rash!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said, while deep down he was very anxious, but he could not think of any solution.

As the mysterious creature’s blood and Primordial Spirit poured into Chu Qin, the aura within him became more and more terrifying and frenzied.

At this moment, Chu Qin seemed to have completely fallen into a world of slaughter and darkness.

Yet, it seemed that the mysterious Celestial Venerable’s blood and Primordial Spirit didn’t increase the harm to Chu Qin; his aura of darkness grew stronger, but it didn’t become too chaotic!

Xuan Wu Tian Zun had also felt it and let out a sigh of relief, "How powerful!"

"What’s so powerful?" Long Xue was puzzled and looked towards Xuan Wu Tian Zun.

"The bloodline of Dragon Venerable, so powerful!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a smile, "The bloodline of the Mysterious Tianzun was directly suppressed by Dragon Venerable!"

"Suppressed?" Long Xue’s beautiful eyes shimmered, "Then Chu Qin, he’s alright?"

"All is well, all is well!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun shook his head, "Not only is everything fine, the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit could never have dreamed that it was actually stepping into the tiger’s den!"

Sure enough, the next second, a blood shadow appeared within Chu Qin’s body, followed immediately by the reverberation of a dragon’s chant and the apparition of the Blood Dragon Venerable.

In the blink of an eye, the blood shadow was devoured by the apparition of the Blood Dragon Venerable!

Chu Qin then sat down cross-legged, and his surging breath gradually calmed down.

"Chu Qin, what did you just do? How has my soul recovered so much in an instant?" The excited voice of the Blood Dragon Venerable echoed in Chu Qin’s mind.

"It was the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "Just now, I absorbed a Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit!"

"Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit!" Blood Dragon Venerable exclaimed with surprise, "No wonder, no wonder I’ve recovered so much!"

"Venerable Dragon Predecessor, just now the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit’s body, a clump of blood, was also devoured by me!" Chu Qin continued.

"Mm, I’ve felt it too." Blood Dragon Venerable replied, "I have never seen such a creature in the Infinite Heavens, a primordial spirit that is a clump of blood. It seems like it’s a creature from Jiuyou Diming. Where are you now?"

"The Ten Immortals Battlefield, which is the location of the former Primordial Battlefield." Chu Qin explained, "Could it be that the creatures invading the Infinite Heavens back then were from Jiuyou Diming?"

"It’s not!" Blood Dragon Venerable replied, "It can’t be Jiuyou Diming; they are not that formidable. Those creatures are the strongest, the most terrifying beings I have seen in my life; I even, somewhat reluctantly, recall that past. The emergence of Jiuyou Diming creatures here must have another reason."

Chu Qin was somewhat stunned!

Even a being as powerful as Dragon Venerable referred to those creatures as the most terrifying existence.

How did the people of Infinite Heavens manage to drive away such fearsome beings?

Could it be that there really was a mysterious and powerful figure in that era?

"Chu Qin, do not be distracted, the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit has not yet been completely refined!" Blood Dragon Venerable said.

"I know, but for now, I don’t want to refine it!" Chu Qin replied, "I need to go to the first cave mansion; Yao Guang Imperial Honor might be in danger."

"You, always so captivated by a woman! However, I do admire this trait in you. Go on, the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit is suppressed by my soul, it dares not act recklessly!" Blood Dragon Venerable said.

"It suits me perfectly!" Chu Qin said calmly with a smile, as he stood up.

"Eh, Lord Chu Qin, why aren’t you refining the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit anymore?" Xuan Wu Tian Zun asked, seeing Chu Qin rise to his feet, somewhat puzzled.

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun, take this Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion for yourself; we’re going to the first mansion." As Chu Qin elegantly drew out Kokutō, he spoke.

Chu Qin had a strong intuition that Li Qingcheng might have run into trouble!

"Alright!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said, as he spread out his palm and a terrifying energy instantly released into a black sphere, separating the Heavenly Venerate’s corpse and the lake from within the Celestial Lord’s Tomb, and immediately compressing it into a small orb.

Following that, Chu Qin, Long Xue, and Xuan Wu Tian Zun hurried towards the tomb of True Flame Celestial Venerable!

Just like the Skeleton Celestial Venerable’s tomb, the True Flame Celestial Venerable’s tomb also contained chaotic ancient air currents. After passing through the currents, they arrived in a world filled with lava flows.

"Considering the situation, it is indeed True Flame Celestial Venerable’s tomb!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said, "But Lord Chu Qin, where should we look for Fairy Li and the others?"

Just now, there was guidance from the Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit, that’s how Chu Qin and the others managed to find the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion so smoothly; here, there was no Celestial Venerable’s Primordial Spirit for guidance.

Chu Qin smiled faintly, and as he spread out his palm, an illusory Compass appeared.

"What is this?" Xuan Wu Tian Zun asked, puzzled.

"Little Tree’s World Compass; I’ve placed a leaf from Little Tree on Yao Guang Imperial Honor!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "The leaf will be indicated by the Compass, and this isn’t constrained by time and space!"

"Lord Chu Qin, it’s just like you to be so well-prepared," Xuan Wu Tian Zun said, smiling.

"Let’s go!"
