“Ancient Divine Artifact, Heavenly Emperor Mirror!”

Countless people in the myriad worlds were shocked when they saw the latest magic treasure on the rankings, especially when they saw that the Divine Artifact was ownerless.

However, when they saw the place where the magic treasure was born, they felt afraid. The Burial Earth World was not a place anyone could enter.

“Heavens, the twelfth place is an ancient Divine Artifact, and it’s ownerless!”

“Looks like the remaining ones on the rankings are all Divine Artifact-level magic treasures. I wonder how many of them are ownerless!”

“There are actually so many treasures hidden in this Burial Earth World!”

“No wonder those people from the top factions did not hesitate to go there to seek opportunities. That forbidden area is indeed not simple!”

“But I’m a little worried. If too many people from the Immortal Realm enter there, it will probably bring about ominous and great terror. It’s said that the disappearance of the Lingtian Immortal Realm back then was related to the Burial Earth World!”

“Yeah, there must be a reason why our ancestors forbade us from entering the Burial Earth World!”

The appearance of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror caused a stir in the myriad worlds. Although most people were only interested in watching the show online and were deterred from entering the Burial Earth World, it was not a big deal.

However, many people had already set off for the Burial Earth World. Other than those from the top factions, many from ordinary factions and even some itinerant cultivators headed there.

After all, the temptation of an ownerless Divine Artifact was too great. Many were still willing to take the risk.

…

However, just as countless experts from the myriad worlds rushed towards the Burial Earth World like moths drawn to a flame…

Heavenly Venerable Xuan He, Heavenly Venerable Emptiness, Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming, and the others were preparing to visit Li Yu in the lower realm. Furthermore, Heavenly Venerable Emptiness and Heavenly Venerable Yin Ming had learned about Li Yu’s preferences from him.

Therefore, the few Heavenly Venerables began to prepare various rare treasures and beauties for Li Yu as greeting gifts.

Although Divine Artifacts were attractive, they were not as important as breaking through in one’s cultivation realm and the opportunity to reach the supreme Great Dao.

At the moment, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue had already arrived at the Jingxing Realm and the Great Xia Dynasty under the lead of the Ye family.

Almost at the same time, his divine sense immediately detected a familiar aura. It was an aura that was incomparably powerful and even somewhat incompatible with this world—Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

Of course, at the same time, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming noticed the arrival of Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue.

“So this old fellow suddenly left the Thunder Realm and came here!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened. It seemed that his judgment was right.

It was not only Heavenly Venerable Xuan He who thought of this, but also Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

It seemed that he could indeed find the path of cultivation to a higher realm here.

At the thought of this, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s figure flashed as he flew towards Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

At the moment, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming was chopping wood in the courtyard of a village at the foot of the Nine-tailed Mountain in Luo Water Town.

If one only looked at him from the outside, no one could tell that he was the Heavenly Venerable above the nine heavens, the man standing at the peak.

He looked like an ordinary farmer waving an axe and chopping firewood. There was also a big yellow dog lying at the entrance of the courtyard, fighting with a piece of wood.

The garden not far away was filled with green vegetables.

Of course, he did not grow these vegetables. Back then, he gave the farmer a large sum of wealth, and that farmer became the richest man in Luo Water Town. Well… he might be the richest man in the Great Xia Dynasty, but that was not important.

In short, he replaced that family and became the owner of the big yellow dog and the farm.

‘I’ve actually been discovered by that old fellow Zhong Yue. Looks like my mortal world cultivation isn’t enough. Sigh… The mortal path isn’t that simple after all. If I can become exactly like a mortal one day, I might be able to truly comprehend the supreme Great Dao!’

Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming pondered as he chopped the wood.

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue brought a member of the Ye family over from afar. Their auras and magic power had already been restrained. Other than their clothes and expressions, they were not much different from ordinary people.

Seeing the stranger walk over, the big yellow dog at the door barked, but it was immediately frozen on the spot by some sort of power.

Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue carefully sized up the farmhouse and then looked at Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming, who was chopping wood like a farmer. His eyes lit up as he was secretly shocked.

Indeed, this was supreme cultivation. Returning to the mortal world and hiding in the mortal world, the act of simplification was the path to a higher realm.

“Why are you here?” Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming did not even look up as he continued to chop the firewood in a practiced manner.

“Same as you!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue said with a smile. “Perhaps we’ll become neighbors soon!”

Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming put down the axe in his hand and walked to the water tank at the side. He opened the lid, scooped a ladle of water, and gulped it down.

“Looks like you understand the Heavenly Dao Rankings too!” said Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

“That’s right!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue nodded with a smile. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. After I pay my respects to Cultivator Li, I’ll come and find you. Do you want to have a few drinks together tonight?”

“I don’t think Cultivator Li is here!” said Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

He was not sure if Li Yu was really not in the Qingyun Sect or if Li Yu was unwilling to see him.

Regardless, since he had decided to follow in Li Yu’s footsteps, he would first learn how to truly return to the mortal world.

“He’s not here?” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s expression changed. He had come all the way to visit Li Yu, but Li Yu was not around. This was indeed a little disappointing.

“However, I believe that even if he is here, he might not meet you. Since we’ve decided to come here, we must first learn how to become true mortals. Otherwise, we will never become Fellow Daoists’ kindred spirits!” said Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming.

He had a good relationship with Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue and was considered an old friend for many years, so he had nothing to hide from him.

At this time, he heard a lot about Li Yu and the Qingyun Sect in Luo Water Town.

He knew how ordinary this place used to be. The Qingyun Sect was originally a small Daoist temple, so ordinary that no one knew of its existence.

If not for the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, probably no one would know about this place until now.

It was the same for Li Yu. He had always been unknown. Even some people who knew him thought that he was just an ordinary Daoist priest. They had never imagined that he was so extraordinary.

Therefore, Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming felt that Li Yu might have already trained in this mortal world for a long time and truly reached the pinnacle of mortalization.

It was also because of this that his cultivation might have suddenly obtained a huge breakthrough, allowing him to become as extraordinary as he later saw.

It became an existence like an incarnation of the Great Dao or a god.

Therefore, this confirmed Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming’s intention to return to the mortal world.

“Yes! I understand, but I brought a gift for Cultivator Li. Whether he’s here or not, it’s better to send it over first. Then, I’ll come and find you. Let’s have a few drinks!” said Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue.

“Alright, prepare your own wine. I have food here!”

“No problem! Hahaha…” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue smiled, and then he led the Ye Family member towards the Nine-tailed Mountain.
