Chapter 413: Avada Kedavra!

Xuan Ying Continent, East Sea.

A tall figure stood on the sea, dressed in a black robe and wearing a menacing Buddha mask.

The man in the black robe descended slowly, and the vast sea automatically parted on both sides as he landed, allowing him to reach the ocean floor without getting wet.

From the sea bottom, the voice of the Boundless One resonated,

"So, you've finally come, Ji Yan!"

The man in the black robe, addressed as Ji Yan by the Boundless One, glanced downward. The sea floor beneath his feet collapsed with a thunderous roar, forming a deep abyss.

Ji Yan fell into the abyss.

At the end of the abyss was the underwater cave where the Boundless One concealed himself.

Seeing Ji Yan descending from above, the Boundless One remarked, "This excellent cave was ruined by you."

"I did it on purpose," Ji Yan said. "It took me quite some time to find you. Why did you leave the Nether Domain without informing me?"

"I've been disliking people who wear masks recently, so I didn't want to see you for a while," the Boundless One replied to Ji Yan.

The Boundless One's aversion to masked individuals was due to Qin Xuexi, who, like Ji Yan, wore a mask. The injuries Qin Xuexi inflicted on the Boundless One during their last encounter had yet to heal, and the Boundless One held a grudge.

If one day the Boundless One achieved the second peak realm, his first target for revenge would undoubtedly be Qin Xuexi.

"However, since you managed to find your way here, it seems this place isn't safe. Since you've already ruined it, I might as well find another location," the Boundless One said.

Ji Yan sneered, "You seem to be enjoying these days of hide and seek."

"Enough of these sarcastic remarks. Why did you go through so much trouble to find me?" the Boundless One asked.

Ji Yan raised both hands and said, "I have a piece of enormous good news to tell you. Soon, you'll be able to have your own physical body, reach the second peak realm, and become a truly invincible existence in this realm."

The Boundless One said, "These words sound strangely familiar. You seem to have said something similar over three hundred years ago. Be honest, what dirty work are you trying to trick me into doing this time?"

"I know, Boundless One, you've always wanted to use the undying powers of both me and Wei Ying, along with the blood of many mortal beings, to activate the Profound Desolation Formation, open the entrance to the second layer of the ancient Profound Desolation realm, and comprehend the second realm of the peak," Ji Yan said.

"According to the inscriptions on the Hengqin Clan stele we've read before, it mentioned that since the beginning of the world, no one has successfully comprehended this second peak realm."

"But later, I found out that the people who wrote those inscriptions were lying. In fact, someone had already comprehended the second peak realm."

The Boundless One interrupted Ji Yan, saying, "Why do I feel like you're the one lying to me?"

Ji Yan smiled, "Be patient and listen to me. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"In recent years, I've been searching for more relics of the ancient celestial race Hengqin Clan. Finally, in the Xinlan Forbidden Domain, I discovered a tomb of the Hengqin Clan people."

"In that tomb, I found an inscription. It was actually the biography of a man, and his name, expressed in the language we currently use, is 'Feng Qi.'"

The Boundless One's face, embedded in the tree like a mask, seemed to show a slightly solemn expression. "Is there really such a person?"

The Boundless One seemed to be starting to believe that Ji Yan wasn't lying.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Yoyi Mountain and ask Wei Bulei. Of course, she might not tell you the truth." Ji Yan said.

The Boundless One helplessly said, "You know I dare not go there."

"Then don't interrupt me and listen to me finish," Ji Yan said. "This person, Feng Qi, somehow entered the second layer of the ancient Profound Desolation realm, probably also using the Hengqin Clan's formation. He successfully comprehended the second peak realm and returned alive."

"The inscription said that before him, no one had ever returned alive from that place."

"So, Feng Qi transformed himself into an existence comparable to a god at the time. He founded the Demon Sect and became the founding ancestor of the Yoyi Mountain."

The Boundless One couldn't help but ask, "Is he still alive?"

"Climbing to the second peak realm grants a lifespan of several million years. Naturally, he is still alive. It's just that he has been sealed. Such an existence cannot be killed by anyone but can only be sealed," Ji Yan said.

"Later, after many hardships, and by coincidence, I finally found the location of his seal. He is actually sealed within the Xinlan Forbidden Domain. If we want to unseal him, we need to gather four artifacts—"

"Wait a moment," the Boundless One interrupted Ji Yan again. "Why would I want to unseal him? What benefit does it bring to me, even if he remains sealed for another few million years?"

"Don't you want to break free from this demonic tree and obtain a powerful physical body?" Ji Yan said. "By seizing Feng Qi's body, you can have the strongest body in this world, and at the same time, you can attain the cultivation of the second peak realm."

"Hahaha!" The Boundless One laughed. "Ji Yan, you, who have lived for over a dozen lifetimes as a cultivator, still believe in such cultivation stories. Taking over someone else's body only exists in cultivation novels and is impossible in reality."

"Fine, the inscription in the tomb also stated that as long as you gather those four artifacts, you can achieve the

 possession. Moreover, at the moment when Feng Qi's seal is broken, he will still be in a completely dormant state for a very short time. By using this opportunity and the four artifacts, you can seize him."

Although the Boundless One was somewhat skeptical of Ji Yan's words, he still asked, "What are those four artifacts?"

"Qilin Cup, Phoenix Cauldron, White Ze Ring, and Bifang Seal," Ji Yan said.

"I already have the Phoenix Cauldron and White Ze Ring, and I've also found the whereabouts of the Bifang Seal," Ji Yan said.

"As for the Qilin Cup, it has always been in the hands of the Yu Fu Sword Immortal Li Changyi. You can go get it. You can't expect to gain something without doing anything."

The Boundless One said, "Taking the Qilin Cup from Li Changyi is not difficult for me. However, I'm starting to doubt whether you just want to use me to help you get the Qilin Cup."
