The Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix battles numerous strange creatures emerging from a moving trench. After clearing the trench, the Phoenix returns to Peach Blossom Island, but its demeanor drastically changes. It becomes fixated on the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and laughs hysterically before entering the scripture's internal world, ignoring Fairy Feihua's warnings. Inside, the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix is confronted by Ye Yun and Immortal Monarch Bi Luo, noticing that a statue has shattered.

"Who are you?"

Ye Yun looked at the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix and asked with a meaningful smile.

This guy, upon entering the small world of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, discovered a black Dead Infant Statue broken into two pieces.

It seemed to have a significant background.

Most likely, it was related to the Immortal Domain Lin Family.

The fact that someone could silently possess the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix in the trench, without him noticing any sign, proved the person was exceptionally powerful, definitely not a Cultivator from the Divine Land, but from the Immortal Realm.

The Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix didn’t respond to Ye Yun’s question, as if he disdained answering a question from a God King Realm Practitioner.

He scanned the crowd with bright eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the Immortal Monarch Bi Luo?"

"I am!"

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo stepped forward, scrutinizing the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix with some uncertainty, and said, "Could it be... are you the Immortal Qi Yuan?"

The Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix’s eyes lit up, laughing heartily, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth: "Haha, it’s indeed me. I never expected to reunite with Immortal Monarch Bi Luo in this world of the Divine Land during my lifetime!"

"Alas..."

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo sighed softly.

"The strange creatures in the trench seemed to be controlled by someone, and this Phoenix was silently possessed. With such Great Divine Power over the Primordial Spirit, within the entire Divine Land, only you, Immortal Qi Yuan, could manage it..."

"You flatter me!"

Immortal Qi Yuan suddenly sighed, his expression pained, saying with slight annoyance, "We five Immortal Monarchs were indeed unlucky... Back then, the five of us came to the Divine Land together to hunt the Dead Baby, but we encountered Ye Qingmei’s frantic resistance. She relied on numerous treasures to attack us from all sides and eventually used the Scroll of Creation to seal us all!"

"Indeed."

Recalling past events, Immortal Monarch Bi Luo also sighed, "Actually, the madam was somewhat lenient with us; that’s why she did some work on the Dead Infant Statue, allowing us to send out a wisp of Divine Sense, giving us a slim chance to turn the tide."

"Hmph, who knows what her intentions were?"

Immortal Qi Yuan sneered.

"Little Rabbit, are you familiar with this Immortal Qi Yuan?"

Ye Yun secretly asked.

"Master, this Immortal Qi Yuan is not a good person; back in the Lin Family, I had some grudges with him..."

Little Rabbit replied in secret.

Ye Yun nodded, calmly looking at Immortal Qi Yuan without speaking.

Among the five Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Monarch Bi Luo still held a shred of gratitude towards Ye Qingmei.

In contrast, this Immortal Qi Yuan had no gratitude, but rather harbored resentment.

If the left little finger of the statue hadn’t left a mechanism, how could this Immortal Qi Yuan have seized the chance to possess the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix?

He would have been eternally suppressed by the Scroll of Creation, never to escape.

"Immortal Monarch Bi Luo, now that you’ve broken free, why not help me shatter the black Dead Infant Statue inside the Wordless Heavenly Scripture?"

After taking a deep breath, Immortal Qi Yuan’s eyes burned with determination as he spoke.

"I can’t break the Dead Infant Statue!"

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo shook her head.

Even though she had reached the Tenth Layer of Emperor God State, she did not have the ability to break the black statue.

"How is that possible, then how did you break free?"

Immortal Qi Yuan asked with a shocked face.

"It was the master who shattered the black Dead Infant Statue and rescued me..."

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo looked at Ye Yun, bowed, and spoke in a deep voice.

"What?!"

"Are you saying it was this God King Realm fellow?"

Immortal Qi Yuan looked at Ye Yun in shock and shook his head repeatedly: "When I came in, I felt his facial features resembled the Dead Baby... Does it mean the Dead Baby is truly resurrected, and only he has the power to shatter his own statue?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, master is master, unrelated to the Dead Baby!"

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo rebuked angrily.

Having interacted with the master twice, she naturally knew that the master was extremely dismissive of any mention of the Dead Baby.

"Hmph..." Immortal Qi Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "Immortal Monarch Bi Luo, is it possible for someone just at the God King Realm to break the black Dead Infant Statue?"

"Yes, it was effortless for the master."

Immortal Monarch Bi Luo nodded.

Immortal Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands towards Ye Yun, asking with utmost respect: "Master, could you lend me a hand?"

"I can."

Ye Yun did not refuse; he merely smiled lightly.

Whoosh!

Immortal Qi Yuan opened his mouth and spat out a transparent stone, within which lay a black book.

It was the Scroll of Creation.

The Scroll of Creation emitted a beam of light, turning into a vortex entrance.

At the same time.

A beam of light shot out from the forehead of the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix, morphing into a light figure wearing a Taoist robe, with handsome features and extraordinarily deep eyes.

This person was Immortal Qi Yuan.

"Master, please!"

Immortal Qi Yuan spoke respectfully.

Ye Yun nodded.

Immortal Qi Yuan transformed into a beam of light, first flying into the vortex entrance, followed by Ye Yun and the others.

The body of the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix remained standing there, blankly.

"Strange, what is this place? Wasn’t I just in the trench?"

After a few breaths, the Burning Heaven Ancient Phoenix suddenly shuddered, awakening.

Looking around, he found himself in an unfamiliar pure white world.

The only colored items.

Were the two black infant statues not far away, already broken.

"What’s this?"

His interest piqued, he quickly walked over, squatting down in front of the statues to study them carefully.

...

In another small world.

A group of people appeared beside a black Dead Infant Statue.

Immortal Qi Yuan transformed into a beam of light, entering the statue through the crack in the left little finger.

Ye Yun took out the Heaven-Slaying Sword, looking at the black infant statue, and without hesitation, delivered a cut.

Boom!

The statue split into two, collapsing to the ground with a resounding crash.

A radiant light emerged from the statue, transforming into the shape of Immortal Qi Yuan in front of Ye Yun.

"Alas, there’s no choice, my body is destroyed. Within this small world, I have to rely on this Immortal Source (The Foundation of Immortality) as a body. Later, I can seize another suitable one..."

Immortal Qi Yuan touched his own form, talking to himself with a smile.

Ye Yun gave him a glance.

This Immortal Qi Yuan, even if reduced to merely an Immortal Source, his cultivation base was still at the Tenth Layer of Emperor God State.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life..."

Immortal Qi Yuan walked over to Ye Yun, full of gratitude, bending down in a bow.

"No need..."

Ye Yun smiled lightly; yet before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a mysterious force invading his body, rushing towards his Primordial Spirit.

Meanwhile, Immortal Qi Yuan, who was within arm’s reach, lunged at Ye Yun.

Possession?

These two words surfaced in his mind, and Ye Yun couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Among the five Immortal Monarchs, there really were scoundrels!

Despite having just been saved by him, Immortal Qi Yuan repaid him with betrayal, attempting to seize his flesh.

Ye Yun’s Primordial Spirit was extraordinarily powerful, and having practiced a certain secret technique regarding Primordial Spirits, he was not at risk of possession at all.

Buzz!

A formidable force vibrated from his Primordial Spirit, instantly scattering the mysterious force.

At the same time.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yun, blocking Immortal Qi Yuan’s path.

Immortal Qi Yuan intended to enter Ye Yun’s body but was halted by the sudden appearance of a sword, giving him a dreadful feeling.

"What sword is this?"

Immortal Qi Yuan was taken aback, hastily retreating.

"Freeze!"

Ye Yun pointed his finger, and Immortal Qi Yuan was immediately immobilized.

His eyes widened, staring at Ye Yun in horror.

How could this person be so powerful?

What seemed a flawless possession plan had utterly failed.
