Ye Yun and Leng Youyue infiltrated the Corpse Emperor Gate disguised within a funeral procession. They observed the gate's unique enlightenment and immersion rituals, where deceased individuals are seemingly brought back to life with their cultivation intact. As these rituals concluded, a great tsunami sound echoed, signaling the sudden appearance of the Three Immortals Sea nearby, igniting excitement among the Corpse Emperor Gate disciples.

Seeing the disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate so excited, Ye Yun looked at Yu Lingfei and smiled, asking, "What is the Three Immortals Sea?"

Yu Lingfei blinked her beautiful eyes: "Do you remember the Wrong Death River, master?"

"I remember."

Ye Yun nodded.

The God of Death No Face in the Wrong Death River knelt under his feet, addressing him as the Dark Realm King.

"Master, the Wrong Death River is one of the four unknown places of the Ancient Realm, and this Three Immortals Sea is also one of the four unknown places."

Yu Lingfei smiled gently as she spoke.

"Another of the four unknown places?"

Ye Yun looked towards the direction from which the waves rose with surprise. It was tens of thousands of miles away from the Corpse Emperor Gate, shrouded in mist between heaven and earth. In the void, a vast ocean suddenly appeared.

Crash, crash...

This mysterious ocean, under the cover of mist, appeared extremely tumultuous, with huge waves surging into the sky.

This magnificent sea in the sky made even Ye Yun marvel at its grandeur.

After the appearance of the Three Immortals Sea, all the disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate fell into a state of great excitement.

Everyone was busy as if trying to finish their tasks quickly before entering the Three Immortals Sea in search of opportunities.

Looking at Yu Lingfei, Ye Yun smiled and asked, "What’s inside the Three Immortals Sea that makes the disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate so eager?"

"That, I don’t know."

Yu Lingfei shrugged, saying helplessly, "Although the Three Immortals Sea is one of the four unknown places, it is said that over the years, only the Corpse Emperor Gate has had the qualifications to enter it. No one from the other major gates, including the three sects and the six paths, has entered..."

"Why is that?"

Ye Yun curiously asked.

"Inside the Three Immortals Sea, it is said that immortals are buried, and the sea is filled with the aura of the dead, which other cultivators do not appreciate. Besides, the Corpse Emperor Gate is strong, so no one covets the Three Immortals Sea anymore..."

Yu Lingfei explained.

"You mean, the Three Immortals Sea has become the exclusive training ground of the Corpse Emperor Gate?"

Ye Yun chuckled.

"Yes, master..."

Yu Lingfei nodded.

Leng Youyue, standing nearby, sighed: "So that’s the origin of the Three Immortals Sea..."

"You didn’t know either?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"In the last era, there were no four unknown places. In this era, before my original self ascended, there were no such unknown places either. It must have appeared later..."

Leng Youyue thought and said.

"Hmm."

Ye Yun nodded. He wasn’t concerned about the timing of these four unknown places’ emergence. Now he was just curious about what within the Three Immortals Sea attracted the Corpse Emperor Gate.

Buzz, buzz...

Suddenly, an eerie wave spread through the void.

Traces of the God Emperor Territory powerhouses’ aura seemed to seep from the depths of the ground.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Ye Yun carefully counted, finally looking at Leng Youyue in surprise: "There are actually nineteen God Emperor Territory powerhouses within the Corpse Emperor Gate?"

"Pretty much!"

Leng Youyue nodded, saying rather helplessly: "The Corpse Emperor Gate has the most God Emperor Territory powerhouses. Some of them are deceased Divine Emperors, whom they secured through nefarious means, then enlightened and nurtured over long periods, turning them into one of their own. Others were already close to the God Emperor Realm in their cultivation base and joined the Corpse Emperor Gate after their fall, eventually reaching the God Emperor Realm after long cultivation..."

"The Slaughter Emperor Gate has just one God Emperor Realm, but the Corpse Emperor Gate has nineteen. Doesn’t that mean they’re invincible?"

Ye Yun pondered aloud.

"Not necessarily. Though the Corpse Emperor Gate is powerful, it’s impossible to oppose the world. Besides, the people of the Corpse Emperor Gate are the living dead, not favored by heaven and earth. Once they reach the God Emperor Realm, if they go all out, it would also shorten their lifespan, so the Corpse Emperor Gate has kept a low profile for countless years, avoiding conflict with other powers..."

Leng Youyue gave a wry smile.

"I see..."

Ye Yun nodded in understanding, gaining a deeper insight into the Corpse Emperor Gate.

Inside the Corpse Emperor Gate.

In a misty area, nineteen bronze coffins floated.

Each coffin was covered with strange runes, glowing at this moment, unabashedly releasing wisps of the God Emperor Realm aura from within.

At that instant.

All disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate felt it.

"The Nineteenth Ancestor has returned!"

Someone exclaimed in excitement.

The nineteen God Emperor Realm powerhouses, known as the Nineteenth Ancestor, were the Sea Calming Needle of the Corpse Emperor Gate.

Now, as the Nineteenth Ancestor unreservedly released the God Emperor Realm aura, it signified their complete awakening.

And all of this was because of the Three Immortals Sea.

The last time the Three Immortals Sea appeared, the Nineteenth Ancestor also fully woke up, leading all disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate into the Three Immortals Sea.

This time will be no different.

The nineteen bronze coffins slowly opened, and from them emerged powerhouses of varied appearances.

There were the elderly, the young, women, men, and even members of the Demon Clan mixed with demonic aura and the aura of death.

The Corpse Emperor Gate had collected many fallen God Emperor Realm powerhouses’ bodies over the years, transforming them enlightened into their people.

"The Three Immortals Sea has appeared!"

An old man with white hair walked out from a bronze coffin and smiled as he gazed at the distant void sea.

The moment he stepped out.

The huge bronze coffin slightly trembled, floating behind him.

A seductive beauty, with a face like a peach blossom, displayed no paleness nor deathly aura and laughed: "Now is the time for everyone’s progress!"

"Indeed, the Three Immortals Sea is truly a blessed place for our Corpse Emperor Gate!"

A burly man laughed.

"Apart from making progress, don’t forget we have important tasks!"

An emaciated old woman, holding a dragon-headed cane, said sternly.

"We understand."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor, why hasn’t he shown up?"

A big-headed boy looked around and suddenly asked.

Whenever the Three Immortals Sea appeared in the past, as the Nineteenth Ancestor awakened, the Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor would also awaken to join them.

The Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor is naturally the most mysterious and powerful elder of the Corpse Emperor Gate, known to outsiders as the Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor.

"Nineteenth Ancestor, you first lead the disciples into the Three Immortals Sea and search for your own opportunities. I have not healed from an internal injury. I will enter the Three Immortals Sea in three days..."

An old voice suddenly echoed through the mist.

What?

The Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor is injured?

The Nineteenth Ancestor exchanged glances, feeling a sense of absurdity rising in their hearts.

What kind of person in this world could injure the Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor?

Such a person probably hasn’t been born yet?

After the Nine Calamities Corpse Emperor’s voice dissipated, no one knew where he was.

Not even the Nineteenth Ancestor.

The big-headed boy shook his head and murmured, "Could it be that Emperor Ancestor made a mistake in cultivation, causing an internal injury?"

"Impossible, he has cultivated for nine eras, long reaching the peak of the God Emperor Realm’s tenth layer. How could he be injured due to cultivation deviation?"

The old woman shook her head and said.
