Frankly, Lin Hao didn't want to pretend, as it might lead to many adverse consequences.

But now it seems there's no other way.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite knowledgeable. Yes, I once was the Supreme Immortal Emperor from the Eternal Life Realm. However, I had some disputes with another Supreme Immortal Emperor, the Mysterious Fire Monarch. He actually tried to kill me while I was undergoing Bodhi rebirth. Hehe, when I return, I'll make him pay."

Lin Hao spoke of this quite casually, giving off an air of nonchalance, as if he didn't take the Mysterious Fire Monarch seriously.

This excited the one known as Sunset Three Laughs to no end, nearly driving him insane.

What does one pursue in a lifetime? The pursuit of eternal life!

And now before him stood a Supreme Immortal Emperor from the Eternal Life Realm. If he could cling to his coattails, then ascending to the Eternal Life Realm one day wouldn't be a dream!

The excitement was overwhelming.

At this moment, even Sunset Three Laughs and the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder, no matter how foolish, finally came to realize.

Lin Hao was not just the leader of Earth's people; he was a Supreme Immortal Emperor who had been reborn through Bodhi!

No wonder he was so impressive. Now everything made sense!

They all felt fortunate that within their lifetimes, they had encountered a Supreme Immortal Emperor!

"Alright, don't get too excited. I've said it before, since you're with me, we're brothers," Lin Hao turned his head, looked ahead. "There's a very powerful presence up ahead. This world is different from the Upper Realm. The Plane Law here is stronger than that of the Upper Realm."

With Lin Hao's solemn tone, Sunset Three Laughs and the others also grew solemn.

A stronger Plane Law than that of the Upper Realm indicated that this place might be on par with the Divine World's Plane Law, meaning that the life forms here could possibly rival Gods.

Of course, they were no match for a God, and as for Lin Hao...

The group, including Sunset Three Laughs, hadn't completely figured out what the state of rebirth through Bodhi encompassed, and they were unsure of the depth of Lin Hao's cultivation. Seeing Lin Hao looking so grave only deepened their unease.

Lin Hao paused for a moment, then continued forward.

The end of the narrow mountain cave came quickly, and ahead the wind was chilling; unexpectedly, it opened onto a range of hills.

The terrain undulated endlessly, without end.

There was also a sky, but it was extremely gloomy, and they could only clearly make out shadows within a hundred or so meters.

There was no grass, but there were mountains and rivers; from far away, the sound of running water could be heard.

"Last time, last time I must have found the Divine Medicine here," Li Tianyu was exceedingly excited, trembling all over.

He found everything around him very familiar, as if he had been here before, yet somewhat strange.

"Even if it's not here, I've been to some place here before," Li Tianyu shuddered all over and quickly added, seeing the unsettled look on the faces of Sunset Three Laughs and the others.

"Let's go."

Lin Hao paid no heed to the others. He stepped out of the cave first.

Behind him stood a towering mountain reaching into the clouds with the dark sky cropping off the peak, its actual destination unknown.

Lin Hao took a deep breath, feeling something peculiar.

This world seemed as if it were watched by a pair of eyes, but who was it? And where was the person?

Lin Hao didn't know and couldn't feel it.

Only that strange sensation was growing stronger.

"Let's go."

His expression solemn, he walked forward, towards the direction where the sound of the river came from.

After all, according to Li Tianyu, the Divine Medicine was on River Heart Island. Naturally, to find River Heart Island, they had to find the river first.

Throughout the journey, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive; no one spoke again, and Li Tianyu felt especially stifled, trembling all over, yet still gritting his teeth to follow Sunset Three Laughs.

Suddenly, the sound of wind rose between heaven and earth.

Lin Hao abruptly halted, his face more solemn than before.

Ahead, there were people!

In an instant, even calculating Sunset Three Laughs and Nine Profound Heavenly Elder were all faces of dread, hands resting on their weapons ready for a desperate fight at a moment's notice.

Waves of mysterious and profound energy emanated from those figures in front, sending chills down spines, while gusts of chilling wind swept up from the ground, carrying with them a faint whiff of killing intent.

The group stood there for a long time, and the figures ahead remained motionless, which was very strange.

Finally, Lin Hao moved again, heading forward.

But with utmost caution, he had already taken out the Divine Cauldron, holding it in his hand.

The figures ahead remained motionless, and gradually, as Lin Hao drew closer, he noticed that in addition to human figures, there were also shadows of many wild beasts.

But these beasts, like the human figures, did not stir, even mingling amicably among the people.

The closer they got, the more tense the likes of calculating life became.

Suddenly, Lin Hao stopped again, a glint in his eye, and he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

He saw clearly now, standing in front of them, were rows upon rows of statues, lifelike, indistinguishable from living creatures, except the statues exuded waves of mysterious and profound energy that was alarming.

The scene was somewhat familiar.

It seemed like something he had seen before when the Ghost Granny was making her soup.

However, it was also a bit different.

Surrounded by an expanse of nothingness, Lin Hao discovered in front of them, stretching endless and densely packed, stood countless stone statues, likely no less than ten thousand.

Cultivators, wild beasts, even demons, everything was present.

"Holy shit, really an eye-opener, are these... are these really sculptures?" Calculating life looked at several statues before him and couldn't help exclaiming in astonishment.

These statues were as lifelike as real people, it was only upon getting closer that one could tell they were actually sculptures.

With no apparent danger, everyone's courage grew.

They wandered among the statues, observing them closely.

"Could these... are these the people who entered Tianxuan Cave and never left?" Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's complexion turned pale, filled with an ominous premonition.

"Are you suggesting that everyone who entered Tianxuan Cave and didn't leave turned into these statues?" Even Sunset Three Laughs was shocked at this moment, fearing he might become one of the statues.

"That's right, look, these few people are wearing Northern Realm attire, and the clothes on this one even bear the emblem of the Qianye Family."

Nine Profound Heavenly Elder walked past several statues, pointing at the clothing on those turned to stone, her eyes filled with terror.

Just as she remembered, a hundred years ago a Great Emperor from the Qianye Family entered Tianxuan Cave, and had never been seen since.

Now, it seemed quite likely that this statue before her was the Great Emperor of the Qianye Family.

A Great Emperor!

Without a single wound, no signs of combat, even as a stone, the facial color was still normal, expression tranquil, and upon closer inspection, Nine Profound Heavenly Elder even discovered a petrified weapon on the statue.

"The Thousand Leaf Umbrella!"

Nine Profound Heavenly Elder cried out, confirming her suspicions.

At the waist of this statue was a small umbrella, the Thousand Leaf Umbrella known for a thousand blades and exquisite craftsmanship, a famously known weapon of the Qianye Family. And this Thousand Leaf Umbrella was indeed the weapon of the Great Emperor from the Qianye Family who entered Tianxuan Cave a century ago!

What on earth is in this world?

Even a Great Emperor who could Ascend to God has been mysteriously turned to stone, even their clothes, their weapon, all petrified, this was far too terrifying!

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Hao.
