Chapter 1986: Immortal Emperor’s Remnant Consciousness

Translator: Legge 

In a flash, Su Zimo sped towards the main hall.

At the same time, cultivators from all over the palace noticed the commotion and surged towards the main hall.

The crowd in front of the main hall was getting denser and there were already more than 10,000 people. All of them were excited and rubbed their palms together.

When Su Zimo arrived, he saw Yun Ting standing at the front of the crowd with a deep gaze. Waving his hands continuously, his clothes fluttered in an extraordinary manner!

In a short period of time, Yun Ting’s fingertip emitted at least hundreds of spirit lights that entered the formation in front of the main hall instantly.

The light of the formation suddenly burst forth in a bedazzling manner, engulfing Yun Ting instantly and causing a series of exclamations.

Many cultivators thought that Yun Ting had failed and was devoured by the formation.

But soon, everyone realized that Yun Ting’s figure was motionless against the illumination of the formation and his aura became even sharper!

“Open up!”

Yun Ting hollered and pointed forward.

Like a tide, the light of the formation was split into two from the middle and dissipated immediately.

After a brief burst, all the light vanished.

The formation at the entrance of the main hall was completely dispelled.

As for Yun Ting, his face was only slightly pale and his aura did not weaken at all. He took out an elixir with a rich medicinal fragrance from his storage bag and swallowed it. Before long, his face turned rosy.

With a boom, the door to the main hall collapsed heavily, causing dust to fly everywhere.

When they saw that, many cultivators were invigorated and their gazes burned. After a momentary daze, they wanted to barge into the main hall to check things out.

“Finally, someone is here…”

Suddenly, a sigh sounded from the entire palace, as though it came from the distant past and was filled with the vicissitudes of time.

Against that sigh, everyone in the palace seemed to be frozen on the spot!

It was the same for Yun Ting who was in midair and Su Zimo who was in the crowd.

That power had completely exceeded everyone’s imagination!

Who was this person?

How long had he been here for him to say something like that?

This person was not dead after lingering in the Emperor’s Tomb?

“This palace was one of my palaces back then. The jade talisman is in the main hall,”

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded once more.

Could the owner of that voice be…

The Immortal Emperor of the past!

The Immortal Emperor was not dead?

Many cultivators were shocked at the thought of that.

“Humph!”

Yun Ting had a calm expression and said in a deep voice, “It’s just a remnant consciousness left behind by this Immortal Emperor in the formation. Once the formation is dispelled, the remnant consciousness will be released. It’s not a brilliant method.”

“It’s rare for anyone among you to be able to dispel the formation I left behind. However, I wonder who will be able to obtain the jade talisman in the main hall,”

After saying a few words, the voice turned weak.

It was as though the remnant consciousness did not have much power left after countless years.

“Right, there’s one more thing,”

The Immortal Emperor’s voice sounded once more and became intermittent. “There’s another… treasure hidden in this palace that’s much better than the jade talisman. I wonder who the fated person will be…”

Before he could finish, his voice vanished and so did the invisible power that bound the cultivators.

“It’s indeed the remnant consciousness of the Immortal Emperor.”

“I didn’t hear what he said at the end.”

“It seems like there’s another treasure in this palace that’s even more precious than the jade talisman!”

After the Immortal Emperor’s remnant consciousness disappeared, the crowd exploded into discussions.

At that moment, although Su Zimo was expressionless, his heart was beating wildly.

There was a high chance that the treasure mentioned by the Immortal Emperor was the bronze lantern with the word ‘Soul’ etched on it!

To be fair, the bronze lantern was truly difficult to notice.

It was not in the side hall where the divine weapons and Dharmic treasures were stored. Instead, it was in the side hall where the elixirs were stored.

Furthermore, it was just an ordinary illumination object that was embedded on the walls and filled with rust. Even if anyone noticed it, they would not take a second look.

If not for the strange activity of the Hell Suppression Tripod previously, Su Zimo would not have noticed the bronze lantern even if he searched the side hall a few more times.

Of course, that was only Su Zimo’s guess.

The treasure that the Immortal Emperor mentioned might not be the bronze lantern.

The first thing that caught the attention of many cultivators was the unknown treasure mentioned by the Immortal Emperor.

However, everyone reacted quickly.

Nobody knew what treasure the Immortal Emperor was referring to and it was a probability. However, the jade talisman was right in the main hall before them!

Given the current situation, obtaining the jade talisman was more important!

After a momentary silence, Yun Ting was the first to enter the main hall.

Immediately after, many cultivators swarmed in and squeezed one another.

Some of the cultivators were even pushed against the walls around the main hall, triggering the restrictions and dying on the spot!

The stench of blood had already spread before the jade talisman was even seen.

Summoning Ethereal Wings, Su Zimo flew above everyone’s heads and entered the hall, looking over.

The hall was dark with dust floating around. However, it was extremely spacious and it did not feel crowded at all for 10,000 cultivators to barge in.

A palm-sized jade talisman hovered in midair at the front of the hall. It shone with a beautiful glow and the surrounding void was dyed red.

Everyone caught sight of the jade talisman right away but no one dared to act rashly.

There were more than 10,000 Grade 9 Black Immortals here and anyone who dared to advance would become a public enemy!

Even the brash Fang Xuan retracted his sharpness after his short exchange with Tang Ziyi and Yun Ting and waited for an opportunity quietly.

Su Zimo looked around and released his spirit consciousness, but he could not find any trace of Tang Ziyi.

He knew that Tang Ziyi was definitely in the crowd.

However, there were too many cultivators here and Tang Ziyi’s concealment techniques were extremely brilliant. Even Su Zimo could not find her.

Suddenly, Su Zimo felt a strong hostility and glanced over.

On the other side were experts of the four immortal sects, the bald monk, iron tower man, middle-aged Daoist and the blue-dressed woman.

The four of them could not suppress him even after joining forces earlier on. At that moment, they already viewed Su Zimo as their greatest opponent!

“Fufu,”

Right then, a chuckle sounded from the front of the crowd.

“Since no one dares to step forward, I won’t stand on courtesy,”

There was a hint of mockery in Yun Ting’s laughter as he looked down on everyone.

Before leaving, he even turned around and looked at Su Zimo deeply with an indescribable expression.

It was both a provocation and praise.

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

He did not know Yun Ting nor did he have any interactions with the latter. He did not know why the latter suddenly noticed him.

Yun Ting flew through the air and advanced slowly towards the jade talisman.

Although he was proud, he did not dare to be careless.

Who knew if there were any other dangers in this hall!

Yun Ting had barely taken a few steps when a strange sound echoed in the hall!
