Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Li Tianhao, hearing Ye Ling's threatening words, gave a disdainful smile.

"Do you really think I'd be afraid?"

"I, the heir of Tianji Sect, who can divine the destiny of the world and settle matters of yin and yang, afraid of threats?"

"Cousin, please, save me," he implored with an aggrieved look, his heart thumping wildly.

With a rare awkward smile, Ning Yushan said, "You're joking, right? Is what my cousin said true? You're a calamity-befallen Immortal?"

"Alright, I admit it, I am an Immortal, but not the calamity-befallen type. Who dares to impose calamities on Yours Truly? I'm just here to experience mortal life. How should I put it? It's like a business trip, I guess," Ye Ling replied with a carefree smile.

Ning Yushan was stunned. What kind of business trip for immortals was this?

"Oh, come on, why the act? We're all family here, let's talk nicely," she chided.

"Calamity-befallen Immortals are those from the Immortal Realm who, after surviving a catastrophe, have their souls fortuitously reborn into another person. These are known as calamity-befallen Immortals."

"Such Immortals are rare, and even in the history of the Immortal Realm, they're seldom seen. But I sensed a trace of calamitous aura on you, which is why I was sure you're a calamity-befallen Immortal."

"Also! Stop threatening me with murder; I'm not buying it!"

"The most important thing is, I'm genuinely scared. My gaze may be askew, but my heart isn't!"

Ye Ling gritted his teeth, "You sure know a lot, but so what if I'm a calamity-befallen Immortal? If you can, then eat me up!"

Damnit, having been on Earth for so long, it was the first time someone had seen through his real identity. That feeling was quite unpleasant, but more importantly, it made Ye Ling feel very insecure.

With Ye Ling's current strength, once his identity was exposed, it would take only a few old undying figures from the Cultivation Realm to pose a threat to his life.

From Shen Yue Xin's words, he knew the Cultivation Realm wasn't a place where one could dominate just by reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage. There were also venerable ancestors at the Golden Core Stage – towering figures with the power to pierce through heaven and earth.

"Ye Ling! Do I really count as your woman?" Ning Yushan asked, her expression serious.

Ye Ling was taken aback, "Of course, you do. You've been stamped with my seal, think you can run away?"

"Fine, I won't say anything about you abandoning the others. I know that's impossible, but I also want to be like them. I want to cultivate, to eternally retain my youth, to be forever beautiful!"

By the end, Ning Yushan looked very animated, her hands propping up her jaw, her eyes shining brightly.

"No big deal. What we need to consider now, is whether we need to take out your loud-mouthed cousin." After speaking, Ye Ling gave Li Tianhao a grim smile.

Li Tianhao hurriedly gestured with his hands, "Stop! I called you an Immortal with an ulterior motive. Do you know why Donghai City has been attracting so many foreign forces with special abilities?"

"Go on, if I'm not satisfied, you'd better watch your life," Ye Ling said indifferently.

Li Tianhao clenched his teeth, "It's the grand tomb beneath Lanshan Village – there lies a Dragon Vein!"

Dragon Vein!
Continue your adventure with empire

At that word, Ye Ling was shocked, and Ning Yushan, standing beside him, was also surprised. Even though she was not a cultivator, she had definitely heard of the term Dragon Vein.

Dragon veins emerge from Kunlun. Each one can nourish a region's land and bring blessings to its people, the finest gift from heaven and earth to nature.

Over the course of five thousand years, every dynasty has placed great emphasis on dragon veins. Where a dragon vein lies, dynasties are often founded, as it is a matter of great importance.

For example, Bianjing, now known as Kaifeng, once also had a dragon vein hidden beneath it, but it was destroyed during the Song dynasty by the sorcerers of the Jurchen Jin dynasty, leading to the swift downfall of the once mighty Song dynasty.

It can be said that dragon veins are one of the most mysterious treasures in Huaxia mythology, including history, and they are also genuinely existing treasures of heaven and earth.

"The dragon vein hidden beneath Lanshan Village is one that has nearly exhausted its lifespan. I only found out about this after perusing the secret texts of our sect these past few days; otherwise, I wouldn't have known at all,"

"That dragon vein erupted with endless vitality a few days ago, causing unusual phenomena in heaven and earth, which was noticed by foreign powers with special abilities, prompting them to come en masse to Donghai City."

"And you, once you merge with this dragon vein, your cultivation will..."

Li Tianhao hadn't finished speaking when Ye Ling's eyes suddenly shone brightly, "My cultivation will skyrocket like a rocket taking off!"

"Darn it, it's all mine, all mine! Whoever dares to take my dragon vein, I will knock them all down, not sparing a single one!" Ye Ling said, filled with immense excitement.

Ah, the dragon vein, once obtained by oneself, would significantly shorten one's cultivation time. Moreover, with the dragon vein's aid, one's cultivation would increase, and some cultivators who posed a threat to Ye Ling could then be disregarded.

"Don't get too excited. Do you know about the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves?" Li Tianhao said with a slight smile.

Ye Ling was startled and shook his head; he really hadn't heard of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves.

"The Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves are a true cultivation world. Inside that independent world across the Divine Dragon's ridge, the strongest are only at the Golden Core Stage, but within the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves, there exist beings more powerful than those at the Golden Core Stage."

Hearing this, Ye Ling's expression became serious. Were there really cultivators on Earth who had surpassed the Golden Core Stage?

But the current Earth was almost barren of spiritual power, practically doomed—it was called the Age of the End of Dharma. How could such powerful cultivators be born?

"Why is it called the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves? It's because within them, there are thirty-six dragon veins, which were bound and taken away by thirty-six great powers a thousand years ago,"

Li Tianhao chuckled, his tone mysterious.

Ye Ling's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Thirty-six dragon veins! If he got all of them, gosh! There were no words for it!

It would be like a beggar suddenly becoming the world's richest person, with wealth that was inexhaustible.

"Those thirty-six dragon veins are also mine! Overthrow them, seize the dragon veins!" Ye Ling roared, his eyes turning red.

However, Li Tianhao simply smiled resolutely, "Heh, you're going to need this Daoist's help for those thirty-six dragon veins."

"Let me tell you, those thirty-six dragon veins were taken away by those great powers and have settled in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves for a thousand years. Unless I use a secret technique to lure these dragon veins out, even if you were an Immortal, you definitely couldn't forcibly take the dragon veins."

"Even if you could take them, you'd harm the essence of the dragon veins, so let's discuss terms, shall we?"

Li Tianhao chuckled slyly, appearing just like a cunning merchant.

"The thirty-six dragon veins are mine! Don't even think about wanting them!"

"If you're thinking of splitting the dragon veins with me, I'll finish you off with a palm strike right now!"

"And if you dare suggest any outrageous conditions, I'll slap you to death!"

"Think about it carefully!"

Ye Ling said menacingly, looking as fierce as the leader of bandits.

Li Tianhao was taken aback, suddenly feeling like a fool. Is this an Immortal? More like a shameless bandit!

At this moment, Li Tianhao wanted to cry but had no tears!
