"I will speak."

Ultimately, Great Immortal Yuanling uttered these words. There was no need for feigned anger or emotional displays. Attaining immortality cultivates a pragmatic nature, enabling one to assess circumstances accurately. Great Immortal Yuanling's prior demeanor towards Lu Changsheng stemmed from his status as a Great Immortal while Lu Changsheng was merely a True Immortal, a clear hierarchy where superiority dictated his unkindness. However, the situation had drastically changed. Lu Changsheng, this True Immortal, now wielded power surpassing his own, holding the very key to his survival. To resist would be pure folly, a direct path to self-destruction. Great Immortal Yuanling drew a deep breath and stated resolutely, "Fellow Daoist, my objective in journeying to the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield is regarding the Giant Axe Immortal."

"The Giant Axe Immortal has obtained an Immortal Treasure capable of suppressing Qi Fortune, the Eight Treasures Golden Light Shield, and is currently attempting to flee into the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield. I am positioned at the exit, ready to intercept him the moment he emerges." Lu Changsheng inclined his head. "Is your sole interest the Eight Treasures Golden Light Shield?"

Lu Changsheng's inquiry caused the pupils of Great Immortal Yuanling to constrict almost imperceptibly. It seemed Lu Changsheng possessed prior knowledge. Recognizing this, Great Immortal Yuanling elaborated, "Naturally, it's not merely about the Immortal Treasure itself, but also connected to the original owner of the Eight Treasures Golden Light Shield."

"The Eight Treasures Golden Light Shield belonged to an Ancient Immortal of ages past, known as the Eight Treasures Great Immortal! While he was only a Great Immortal, he was exceptionally remarkable, having weathered eleven Mortal Tribulations. It was only during his twelfth Mortal Tribulation, coinciding with the natural end of his lifespan spanning twelve epochs, that he faced the Immortal Tribulation and ultimately perished."

"Many Heavenly Immortals falter under the Immortal Tribulation, so it's understandable that the Eight Treasures Great Immortal could not overcome it. However, the crucial point is that he faced the twelfth Mortal Tribulation with apparent fearlessness. This strongly suggests he possessed a profound secret or a powerful treasure that granted him such resilience against the Mortal Tribulation."

"Despite much searching over the years, no tangible clues about the Eight Treasures Great Immortal's secret have surfaced. This recent reappearance of the Eight Treasures Golden Light Shield has galvanized the Immortals, leading them to pursue the Giant Axe Immortal relentlessly, driven by the desire to uncover the very method by which the Eight Treasures Great Immortal defied the Mortal Tribulation."

Lu Changsheng felt enlightenment dawn; so that was the underlying reason. The Eight Treasures Great Immortal had indeed survived eleven Mortal Tribulations. Or, to be more precise, he had endured twelve such tribulations. The twelfth Mortal Tribulation had simply manifested concurrently with the Immortal Tribulation. Although he had survived the onslaught of the twelfth Mortal Tribulation, he ultimately succumbed to the might of the Immortal Tribulation and perished.

A Great Immortal surviving twelve Mortal Tribulations. Could there be no hidden secret behind such an feat? Even Lu Changsheng found it difficult to believe. A secret, undoubtedly. Perhaps even a world-shattering one! If one could obtain the secrets of the Eight Treasures Great Immortal, it would not necessarily help True Immortals ascend to Heavenly Immortalhood, but it would grant them the ability to endure Mortal Tribulations repeatedly. This would effectively extend their lifespan to at least twelve epochs, equating to the natural lifespan of a Heavenly Immortal. It was no wonder the mere prospect drove the Immortals into a frenzy.

"Can you grant me freedom?" Great Immortal Yuanling inquired, his voice tinged with hope. "I have divulged all that I know."

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, his gaze falling upon Great Immortal Yuanling. He then continued his questioning, "How long has the Giant Axe Immortal been within the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield?"

Great Immortal Yuanling considered this, replying, "Likely for several months."

"And there has been no news of the Giant Axe Immortal during these several months?"

"None," was the firm reply.

After a period of contemplation, Lu Changsheng slowly articulated his decision, "I will release you. However, you must venture into the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield and ensure the Giant Axe Immortal is safely escorted out. Should the Giant Axe Immortal meet his demise, you will perish alongside him."

Lu Changsheng's decree ignited a surge of indignation within Great Immortal Yuanling. What kind of demand was this? His own life tied to the fate of the Giant Axe Immortal? He was being treated as little more than a subordinate. Yet, anger alone could not alter his predicament. The stark reality was that Lu Changsheng possessed the undeniable power to end his life. Refusal would almost certainly mean death, a deeply infuriating prospect.

But he had no choice but to agree.

Refusal meant certain death!

"Fine."

"I will enter the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield and find the Giant Axe Immortal, ensuring his safe return," the Great Immortal Yuanling declared through gritted teeth.

"Good."

"Even if you don't find him, as long as he safely emerges, you'll be absolved. However, should the Giant Axe Immortal perish, you will be buried alongside him."

"Furthermore, do not even consider escaping; I shall place a mark within your Spirit. Your location will be constantly monitored unless you retreat to a Dao Field and never emerge. Otherwise, death is inevitable!"

Lu Changsheng's threat filled the Great Immortal Yuanling with intense anger.

Yet, he dared not utter a single word.

"Leave."

Lu Changsheng retracted the Void Realm artifact.

Instantly, the surroundings shifted.

The Great Immortal Yuanling found himself back outside the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield.

Lu Changsheng stood calmly just before him.

Numerous Immortals observing from the vicinity appeared utterly shocked.

"My Immortal Treasure..."

Upon returning to the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield, the Great Immortal Yuanling immediately realized his Immortal Treasure was gone.

He understood, however, that Lu Changsheng had taken it.

With the treasure now in Lu Changsheng’s possession, any hope of reclaiming it was extinguished.

"Go."

Eager to escape Lu Changsheng’s presence, the Great Immortal Yuanling immediately plunged into the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield.

As the Great Immortal Yuanling vanished.

For a fleeting moment, all the surrounding Immortals exchanged stunned glances.

"Why did the Great Immortal Yuanling suddenly enter the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Immortal Battlefield?"
