721 Nine Unparalleled?
“Alright, alright! Cultivate well, kid! Well… I’ll set off first! I’ll help you find a Charging Treasure!”

“Are you no longer familiarizing yourself with the Heaven Sealing Power?”

“There’s no need! This kind of strength is easier to familiarize with in actual combat. I’ll leave first!”

With that, he flew out without waiting for Lin Bei to persuade him to stay. He crawled into the crack of the Gate of Fear and disappeared.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Bei’s face.

Little guy, you still want to hit me. Now, you’ve been hit by me, right?

However… he did not expect the Heavenly Emperor to be prepared to attack the Lord of Fear first. However, it did not matter. As long as he could obtain the Charging Treasure, he did not care which one he got first. He had used the Lord of Fear’s the longest and was the most familiar with it. Perhaps it would be easier to get used to it.

“However, the Heavenly Emperor’s previous words reminded me. In the future, it seems that I have to pay more attention to the various ruins. If I want to find more ancient martial arts inheritances, I’m afraid I can’t avoid the ruins.”

Lin Bei muttered, “But speaking of which… this time, the ruins of the Bleak Mountain are an opportunity. However, that Azure Beast Qilin should be very strong. I don’t think I’m its match now. Sigh… troublesome. I don’t know if I can increase my strength enough before the ruins open. Forget it… I’ll take it one step at a time.”

Shaking his head, Lin Bei returned to his pocket space and began to cultivate seriously.

As for the long-haired man from the Hellfire Abyss… he didn’t care for the time being. Anyway, he had already obtained the Purifying Black Flame Lotus. The one who should be having a headache was that fellow. He only needed to…

“No! I forgot something!”

Lin Bei suddenly came back to his senses and said with a pained expression, “I forgot to ask the Heavenly Emperor how to use this Purifying Black Flame Lotus! What’s the use of only knowing its name!”

There was only disappointment in his heart.

Why… did the topic change as they chatted?

“Forget it, I’ll ask in the future. I’ll keep this black lotus first. It won’t run away on its own anyway.”

Lin Bei muttered. Then, he thought for a moment and called Wang You over.

Ever since he came out of the ruins, Wang You had long taken Lin Bei as his master and switched to the Dao of Qi. Now that some time had passed, he was already at the 99th level of Qi Refinement and was very close to the Dao Integration Realm.

At this moment, the little old man was looking smug. His white hair was combed neatly and he looked very energetic.

“Master, why are you looking for me?”

When Wang You saw Lin Bei looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed.

“Yes, I need to ask you about the Bleak Mountain. Can you tell me what exactly you know about the situation inside?”

Lin Bei went straight to the point.

When Wang You heard this, he nodded and replied, “I actually don’t know much about the Bleak Mountain. In particular, I’ve only lived in the periphery of the ruins for a period of time. According to the attitude of the owner of the ruins… that is, Emperor Cang, it seems that the ruins haven’t opened yet, so he doesn’t allow anyone to enter the ruins.”

“However, he couldn’t be bothered to stop it himself, so people like me who live in the periphery of the ruins all year round and follow the rules will be taught some skills to help protect the ruins after his inspection.”

Wang You explained, “Previously, I stopped Master to fulfill this obligation.”

“So that’s what happened.”

When Lin Bei heard this, he nodded and continued to ask, “How much do you know about Emperor Cang? For example… how strong is he? And what’s his attitude towards the ruins? Also… do you know when the ruins will open?”

When Wang You heard this, he fell into deep thought. After a while, he said hesitantly, “Actually… I’m not very sure how strong Emperor Cang is. However, he once met an old friend. That person seemed to be a blacksmith. Emperor Cang once asked him to enter the ruins to help. It’s said that because the remuneration was not agreed, the two of them fought in the depths of the ruins. In the end, it was a draw and nothing was done.”

“It’s just that I heard that before that blacksmith left, he was still cursing. He said that Emperor Cang was also one of the Nine Unparalleled and actually reneged on his debt. It’s the shame of the Nine Unparalleled. I don’t know what the Nine Unparalleled represent. It might be a faction or a title. I think as long as Master can find some records about the Nine Unparalleled, you should be able to know Emperor Cang’s specific faction.”

“However, according to my estimation, Emperor Cang’s strength should at least be at the Perfected Great Dao. Master might not be his match now, so if you want to barge into the ruins, you still need to think about it.”

Wang You analyzed seriously.

Lin Bei listened and felt a toothache.

He had never expected that this Emperor Cang… was actually one of the Nine Unparalleled!

If it was in the past, he really did not know what the Nine Unparalleled represented. However, after interacting with the Heavenly Emperor just now, he already completely knew what the Nine Unparalleled represented!

Those were the nine peerless experts of the ancient martial arts era!
They were three realms higher than a second-rate expert like the Above the Great Dao!

Damn it, Wang You actually guessed that it was a perfected Great Dao. He even said that he wanted to think about it at length?

What’s there to think!

Lin Bei couldn’t even defeat a single hair of such a big shot.

If he went, he would be killing himself!

“I didn’t expect… the ruins of this Bleak Mountain to be so terrifying! No wonder there are dozens of ancient martial arts origin marks engraved in the fishing rod that was casually given to the guards outside!”

Only at this moment did Lin Bei completely understand how terrifying this Emperor Cang was!

He felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately, he was not possessed and didn’t want to enter the ruins in advance. Otherwise, the grass on his grave might be a few meters tall now.

However, according to Wang You, the Nine Unparalleled of the Ancient Martial Era back then… did not die because of the destruction of the Ancient Martial Era.

They… still had people alive!

However, Lin Bei did not know how many people were still alive.

At the very least, there were two people alive. One was Emperor Cang, and the other was the person that Wang You said Emperor Cang regarded as a blacksmith.

“Looks like… I can forget about entering the ruins of the Bleak Mountain for the time being.”

Lin Bei sighed. With his strength, unless the ruins opened on their own, if he entered rashly, he might anger Emperor Cang. At that time… he would be in trouble.

“Sigh… I should think of a way to find other ruins. The level of the ruins guarded by Nine Unparalleled is too high. I really can’t play.”

Lin Bei was extremely vexed.

He waved his hand and sent Wang You away. He poured a cup of Dao Comprehension tea and took a sip. He was extremely depressed.

There was still a long way to go.

…

In the Dimensional Space of the Bleak Mountain, in front of a huge pool, a young man carried a huge hammer on his back. He frowned and looked at the Azure Beast Qilin lying on the ground with snot bubbling in front of him. He said in a low voice, “Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you know is sleep! If you continue sleeping like this, the Heaven and Earth Tribulation will descend! Hurry up and prepare in advance to open the ruins.”
