Li Hong immediately began to investigate the two Purple Curtains. These curtains were actually two treasures, classified as Superior Spirit Artifacts. It was unclear whether the Immortal Emperor was overestimating himself or simply disdainful of cultivation, but Li Hong found that he could fully cultivate these two Purple Curtains.
Soon, the two curtains were completely removed from the top and floated in the air. Li Hong unleashed True Fire to refine the two Purple Curtains.
Not knowing what these items were made of, he burned them with innate flames for a long time before the Purple Curtains showed any signs of shrinking. Following that, the resistance emanating from them gradually faded. Li Hong cut open his chest and dripped six drops of golden heart's blood onto them. Each drop caused him great pain, and after waiting a while longer, the two Purple Curtains finally reacted.
Li Hong placed one curtain at the entrance of the second floor and quickly rushed down to set up the other curtain tightly against the crystal bead curtain.
Next, he began searching for the weakest points in the Restrictions on the treasure wall. He soon discovered that these Restrictions were quite strange; they were all reversed. In other words, these Restrictions were not meant to prevent someone from stealing treasures but rather to imprison these highly spiritual artifacts. If the Restrictions were broken, treasures would surely fly all over the room, and if any other Restrictions were triggered, it would be a huge problem.
Li Hong did not act immediately but instead sensed the Heavenly Torch. However, he quickly realized that this place was also blocking Divine Consciousness, making his mental connection ineffective; he could not connect with the Heavenly Torch.
At this point, Li Hong could no longer hesitate.
He first summoned the Yin Yang Platform and threw up the Eight Formation Flag to set up the Eight Formation Diagram to cover this wall as much as possible, blocking the direction in which the treasures would fly out. In the next moment, Li Hong decisively summoned the Moonlit Spirit Dragon Five Elements Shuttle. The three treasures struck precisely at the connection points of the Restrictions without missing by even a hair.
With three consecutive loud booms, the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall seemed to shake. With anticipation in his eyes, Li Hong watched as countless ice-patterned cracks appeared on this transparent Restrictions at three points before it silently shattered.
In an instant, golden light and iridescence flashed everywhere, and a strong wind began to blow with continuous whooshing sounds.
All the treasures flew out. Li Hong's figure swayed as he activated Ninefold Body, causing all his avatars and his main body to swiftly begin collecting treasures.
Some of the treasures still retained their spirituality and flew away at high speed, trying to escape; this part was particularly troublesome—like catching fish in mid-air, they were incredibly slippery and constantly collided with the Eight Formation Diagram with booming sounds and great momentum. Fortunately, most of them quietly drifted out and came to a halt upon hitting the Eight Formation Diagram.
At that moment, the Immortal Emperor was seated behind a tall White Jade Table in Yingzhou Pavilion, speaking gently to Heavenly Torch below: "Ten thousand years of cultivation is not easy, especially for you dragon clan members; passing through Transformation Tribulation is particularly difficult. Yet you have succeeded; it is truly remarkable. By the way, how did you both ascend at the same time? Did you perhaps undergo tribulation together? This situation is unheard of; I would like to hear more about it."
He believed that as an Immortal Emperor, not only would he host a banquet but also lower himself to converse with Heavenly Torch; surely Heavenly Torch would be deeply moved and easily divulge information. Unfortunately for him, Heavenly Torch had already seen through him and had no intention of speaking truthfully—he was merely stalling for time until Li Hong arrived.
Heavenly Torch scratched his head and feigned an expression of "sincere innocence," saying: "Immortal Emperor's inquiry is an honor for me; however, I truly do not know what is going on. By the way, Immortal Emperor sir, Xu Shiwann mentioned that there are three Immortal Emperors in the immortal realm, each overseeing millions of immortals beneath them. Is this true?"
The Immortal Emperor's expression darkened slightly at this question. Yet Heavenly Torch continued unabated: "Xu Shiwann said that there is also an Immortal Emperor in their Xu Yang Immortal Palace. The rules of this immortal realm are truly strange; in my lower realm, I have always heard that there is only one palace with one Immortal Emperor. To think there are actually three palaces here! It was previously said there were even four! Speaking of which, my brother and I have such bad luck; if we had directly ascended here to your esteemed self or to another immortal palace instead of ending up in that abandoned palace... we had to endure four years of hardship—what bad luck!"
The Immortal Emperor's face tightened as he was about to ask another question when he saw Heavenly Torch continue speaking: "Immortal Emperor sir, who could be so bold as to dare kill that Northern Immortal Palace's Immortal Emperor? They must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall! But speaking of which, being part of an immortal palace lineage—didn't you lend a hand back then? Tsk tsk! Otherwise, if all four Immortal Emperors gathered together, I imagine that scene would be unforgettable!"
At this point, Heavenly Torch seemed to run out of words. The Immortal Emperor saw an opening and was about to ask again when Heavenly Torch picked up the Golden Lantern before him. The Golden Lantern was already filled with milky white Jade Liquid. The Immortal Emperor immediately fell silent, hoping that Heavenly Torch would drink it quickly without further ado.
Heavenly Torch brought the Golden Lantern to his lips but suddenly seemed to remember something else. Underneath the Immortal Emperor's visibly annoyed and disappointed gaze, Heavenly Torch placed the Golden Lantern back down as if unable to wait any longer before starting again: "Immortal Emperor sir, where do those mortals come from? I've never heard of mortals existing in the immortal realm while in the lower realm. How could there be mortals in the immortal realm?" Just as the Immortal Emperor was about to respond, Heavenly Torch slapped his own head and exclaimed as if realizing something: "I’m so foolish! Immortals can marry each other too! The children born from such unions may have cultivation potential but may also not have it. Those descendants without cultivation potential still need to reproduce! After so many years now... their population has only increased!"
Heavenly Torch was still talking non-stop, asking one question after another without waiting for Immortal Emperor to respond, and then quickly answering himself, continuing on. Immortal Emperor found that he couldn't get a word in! He frowned tightly, watching Heavenly Torch's mouth open and close, feeling extremely frustrated, wishing he could strike down with a palm. His patience had reached its limit.
Just as Heavenly Torch was speaking passionately, he suddenly furrowed his brow slightly, unnoticed by others. The next moment, his voice grew louder, booming like thunder in Yingzhou Pavilion, almost deafening.
Listening to this terrible noise, Immortal Emperor endured and endured but finally couldn't hold back any longer. He snorted coldly and swept his sleeve aside, his face dark as he directly exited the hall, intending to return to his chambers.
Just as he flew into the air, he saw a golden light rushing towards him from afar. Immortal Emperor's expression changed; he stabilized himself and looked at the newcomer.
Li Hong transformed into golden light and instantly stopped in front of Immortal Emperor, kneeling in the clouds with a solemn bow. "Chu Hongzi pays respects to Immortal Emperor."
Immortal Emperor's expression changed rapidly; his previously dark face instantly broke into a smile. He extended his hand to gesture for Li Hong to rise. "You may rise. By the way, where is Xiao Da?"
Li Hong raised his head and was about to speak when he suddenly brightened up, pointing to the left of Immortal Emperor and shouting loudly, "Xiao Da! Why did you take so long to arrive!"
Upon hearing this, Immortal Emperor turned to look left. At that moment, five Six Shadows flashed with various colors of light before him, but he saw nothing on his left side—no one was there at all. He immediately understood that Li Hong had set him up! Shocked, without thinking, he pushed Xiao Er forward and fled swiftly.
Xiao Er was instantly reduced to a pile of flesh.
Even though Immortal Emperor reacted quickly, he still couldn't match Li Hong's calculations!
Just as he was about to escape, the trajectories of those lights changed abruptly, surrounding him from all sides and sealing off all his routes of escape.
Immortal Emperor was taken aback; with a flick of his sleeve, a bright yellow object flew out and rapidly enlarged—it was a high-grade Celestial Artifact seal. The seal crashed toward one direction with a loud bang as he transformed into escape light, trying to follow that object in hopes of opening a path to flee.
Li Hong would not give him this opportunity. With one hand forming a spell gesture, the Eight Formation Flag immediately transformed into hundreds and then thousands, enclosing the entire thousand-zhang space within it. At the same time, the Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade struck down on several troublesome immortals, scattering them before swiftly stabbing toward Immortal Emperor's back.
This strike was straightforward; it resembled a rolling dragon of fire that spewed extreme heat. In an instant, the energy manifested as a solid blade tip pressed against Immortal Emperor's golden silk Golden Dragon Robe. A dark mark appeared there immediately.
However, the Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade halted and could no longer penetrate further. Li Hong focused his gaze and realized that Immortal Emperor's Golden Dragon Robe was also a low-grade Extreme Treasure that resisted the Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade; he remained unharmed. The next moment, Immortal Emperor suddenly turned around; the Eight Treasures Glazed Crown flew up from his head and transformed into a dazzling transparent Flying Sword that rushed toward Li Hong while simultaneously blinding Crystal Light filled the area with countless crystal beads raining down like hail toward Li Hong.
In this confined space, Li Hong and Immortal Emperor immediately engaged in an intense battle akin to close combat.
The area was too small for maneuvering; every move intertwined in an instant with extreme speed. In no time at all, Immortal Emperor's bright yellow seal along with thousands of crystal beads and that colorful transparent Flying Sword clashed with Li Hong's Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade, Yue Que, Divine Slaying Monument, Heartless Shuttle, and other Extreme Treasures in chaotic combat.
Everywhere there were rapid fluctuations of Spiritual Energy; the entire space echoed with thunderous sounds. The scorching airflow swirled violently as Li Hong's mortal warrior armor turned to ash in an instant. The next moment, flames erupted around Li Hong as a fiery innate flame illusion covered his entire body.
Immortal Emperor recognized its value; greed shone clearly in his eyes. Under mental command, the seal along with thousands of crystal beads and the colorful transparent Flying Sword launched an even fiercer assault on Li Hong like a torrential storm growing more vigorous with each passing moment. However, he soon discovered with astonishment that Li Hong was evenly matched against him—no matter what technique came close to him, it was blocked by Li Hong.
The Immortal Emperor could not help but take a closer look at the fiery red Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade and exclaimed, "This is the treasure of the Seasoned Master, the Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade!"
"Indeed! I forgot to mention, I am actually the Seventeenth Generation Sect Leader of the Nine Li Sect!" Li Hong declared proudly, his offensive like a torrential storm. However, Li Hong also keenly noticed that the Immortal Emperor had calmed down from his initial panic; he was now in control of both offense and defense. It was clear that he still had strength to spare and was not using his full power.
This puzzled Li Hong. The Immortal Emperor, having been ambushed by him, should be filled with hatred and eager to kill him immediately. Why was he still holding back? Suddenly, recalling the so-called banquet, a realization struck Li Hong: he intended to wait until Li Hong exhausted his spiritual energy before capturing him alive! From the very beginning, his plan had been to capture Li Hong!
However, it seemed that this time he would not get his wish.
Li Hong also had a backup plan. After entering the celestial realm, aside from collecting treasures in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall earlier, he had never manifested a clone.
The clone was his greatest secret weapon.
Seeing the Eight Formation Flag beginning to tremble with signs of instability, Li Hong knew that the time had come; he needed to end this quickly.
