The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 701 The Formation Made with Bodies and Kept with Souls!

In the center of the city, Lin Sansheng, Ning Lie, and Xiong Liping were lying on the ground awkwardly. Their faces were full of bruises.

Lin Sansheng touched his face, grimaced in pain, and cursed, “You bastards, you are too cruel.”

“Are you not ashamed?” Ning Lie rubbed his nose. The blood had already stopped.

“I didn’t do that.” Lin Sansheng shook his head.

“If it wasn’t you, could it be Old Xiong?”

“Ha... It seems me.” Xiong Liping laughed dryly.

“You bastard, you’re such a sinister person.” Ning Lie cursed angrily.

Xiong Liping widened his eyes. “I did it accidentally. Haven’t you punched me in the face?”

“Uh...” Ning Lie laughed sneakily. It was true.

“You bastards. You scared me to death.” Lin Sansheng sat up and glared at Xiong Liping. “I thought you were dead.”

“Fuck, can’t you expect me to be better?” Xiong Liping scolded with a smile.

“Tell me what’s going on.” Lin Sansheng asked curiously.

“What’s going on? Haven’t you seen everything?” Ning Lie asked.

......

“I want to know about Liu Tianhe. Why did he let you go? Is there any conspiracy?” Lin Sansheng had a deep impression of Chu Xun’s cultivation and strategies.

“No, there is no conspiracy.” Xiong Liping scolded with a smile. “Can’t you think of anything good?”

“I want to, but don’t you think it’s strange that someone from the Immortals is helping us out of nowhere?”

“I don’t think so.”

“It’s not strange.”

Ning Lie and Xiong Liping answered one after another.

“Why does a person from the Immortals help us? Isn’t it strange?” Lin Sansheng widened his eyes as if he had heard something unbelievable.

“Have I mentioned he’s from the Immortals? His name is not Liu Tianhe but Chu Xun. Like us, he’s from Earth,” Ning Lie said.

“How could that be?” Lin Sansheng jumped up in shock. He was stunned for a while before he shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. He came from the outside world. How could he be from Earth?”

“Why couldn’t an Earth people come in from the outside world? Everything is possible. Do you understand?” Xiong Liping asked.

“Don’t be so careless here. Hurry up and tell me what’s going on.” Lin Sansheng’s face was full of anxiety.

“Alright, please sit tight. Let me explain it to you in detail...” Ning Lie even began to gabble nonsense.

Lin Sansheng glared at him. He was burning with anxiety. These two guys still talked rubbish here.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.”

Ning Lie told him the whole story in detail from beginning to end.

Lin Sansheng was stunned and did not come to his senses for a long time. Chu Xun’s way of coming to Earth was weird.

Ning Lie and Xiong Liping were not surprised. When they heard what Chu Xun said last time, their reactions were similar to Lin Sansheng’s.

Especially Ning Lie didn’t believe Chu Xun at all at first.

“Do you think it’s credible?” Lin Sansheng came to his senses after a while. He looked at them and asked seriously.

“Don’t talk nonsense here. He has saved so many of our people and killed a lot of experts in the High Immortal Realm of the Immortals. Is this not worth believing?” Ning Lie scolded with a smile.

“Believe it or not, I believe it anyway.” Xiong Liping said.

More than a thousand of them had been trapped on the mountain at that time. If it weren’t for Chu Xun, they would have died long ago.

“Old Lin, I can understand your worrying, but I hope that you won’t suspect Senior Chu. Think about it carefully. If he had any ill intentions towards us, who would be his match here? I am afraid three of us might not even be a match for his one hand,” Ning Lie said.

Lin Sansheng nodded slightly.

Ning Lie and Xiong Liping didn’t blame him. He had to think for the people in the city, so his worrying was right.

“Senior Chu comes.” Ning Lie looked behind Lin Sansheng.

Lin Sansheng turned his head and saw Chu Xun coming from the other end of the street.

“Nice to meet you, Senior Chu. I am Lin Sansheng.”

When Chu Xun walked in, Lin Sansheng hurriedly saluted him. He was excited. He had been guarding here for tens of millions of years. Finally, he met Earth people from the outside world.

“Please stand up.” Chu Xun raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted Lin Sansheng up. He looked at him seriously and said, “Thanks for your hard work!”

They had been guarding here for tens of thousands of years already. During the time, countless people died. Now, only a few people were left struggling to hold on. In fact, what they had done was far beyond hard work.

“Don’t mention it!” Lin Sansheng’s eyes turned red.

Chu Xun sighed slightly and said, “Don’t worry. I have promised Ning Lie and the others that I will bring you back to Earth one day. I have promised it.”

Lin Sansheng was excited. They couldn’t see the hope at first. In the past hundreds of years, the Chosen Ones from the Immortals having come here were getting stronger and stronger. Some of them even stayed in the folding space for practice. The Earth people here couldn’t hold on any longer.

Chu Xun was deeply touched along the way. The people left here were all the old, weak, sick, and disabled. If he hadn’t come in this time, these cities might not have survived the massacre of the Chosen Ones of the Immortals this time, not to mention the next time.

.

However, Chu Xun had his own difficulties. It was hard for him to protect himself now. His identity had been revealed, so he couldn’t go back to the outside world. He could only cultivate desperately in this folding space, hoping to kill his way out one day.

But what day would it be?

Perhaps, it would be a long way to go.

“By the way, where is the Chaos Stone? Please take me to see it.” Chu Xun thought of this and said, “How can you expose such an important thing like this?”

Ning Lie and the other two looked at each other.

Lin Sansheng gave a wry smile and said, “In fact, there is no Chaos Stone at all. It’s the magic formation left by our ancestors on Earth. It activates every 100 years. But when it activated this time, the Chosen Ones from the Immortals came in.”

“A magic formation?” Chu Xun was curious. “What is it used for?”

Lin Sansheng and the others shook their heads.

“We don’t know either. Our ancestors’ bodies are guarding that place. We have studied it before. However, we still don’t know about it.” Ning Lie said.

“We suspect...” Lin Sansheng was a little hesitant but didn’t finish his words.

“What do you suspect?” Chu Xun asked.

“I don’t know if my guess is right.” Lin Sansheng pondered for a moment and said, “I suspect that it is a Transfer Formation that can transmit people to the earth.”

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Why do you think so?”

“There are only a few big golden words beside the formation — waiting for the predestined person.”

Chu Xun moved and said, “Let’s go. Take me to have a look.”

Lin Sansheng nodded without hesitation. The formation had another function. People not from Earth could not get close to it. Back then, they had caught a Chosen One from the Immortals and tried to let the person get close to it but failed.

Chu Xun followed Lin Sansheng and the others to go out of the city and ran a thousand miles to the east. Finally, they arrived at a mountain range.

Lin Sansheng stepped forward, his aura soaring. With a wave of his hand, a gale sprang up. Countless stones were blown away. A cave appeared.

“It’s inside.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly and motioned for him to lead the way.

After entering the cave, Chu Xun found that there were traces of artificial digging on the wall of the cave.

After walking inside thousands of meters, Chu Xun’s eyes lit up. It turned out to be an empty valley with steep terrain. It turned out that this cave had crossed the mountain range.

Chu Xun looked over and saw eight statues on flat ground. The statues had been eroded by the wind for many years and were somewhat blurred. However, he could still see that they were cultivators.

The eight statues were like giants standing between the sky and the ground, overlooking the ground. There was an empty field In the middle of the eight statues, with only a few protruding huge stones scattered in disorder.

In the eyes of others, this was a mess. In fact, it had rules. The stones were the cornerstones of the formation.

“Wait here for me. I’ll go and have a look.”

Chu Xun rushed out and approached the formation. He looked carefully and saw a huge natural stone in the distance. There were five golden words shining with golden light on it — waiting for the predestined person.

How to be a predestined person?

Chu Xun directly rushed out and to the open space in the center of the eight statues.

However, when he approached, he saw the ground begin to shake violently. In fact, the eight stone statues shook. The grey stone statues began to burst into light.

Rays of golden light spread out and reflected the surroundings into golden. Chu Xun had a feeling that this golden light seemed to be emitted by a survey meter, which had the function of checking the blood lineage.

Chu Xun didn’t move at all, allowing the golden light to sweep over his body.

However, he suddenly felt something strange. These streaks of light were like human eyes. Divine sense swept out, surrounding the eight stone statues.

Gradually, Chu Xun’s face became more and more serious.

“I’m Chu Xun from Earth. Greeting, eight seniors.” Chu Xun cupped his hands and bowed.

At the same time, he activated the Ancestral Dragon bone within his body. A resplendent golden light erupted. The golden light from those stone statues suddenly shrank back as if they were scared of that of the Ancestral Dragon bone.

Chu Xun stood on the huge stone, cupped his hands, and saluted the eight stone statues one by one.

Every stone statue had a sealed people in it. They were seated in a cross-legged manner, looking vivid and lifelike. Their auras were ridiculously powerful.

However, they had long died.

They set up a formation with their bodies and kept it with souls.

Chu Xun knew this kind of magnificent feat. It should seal bodies with diamonds to ensure that the bodies would never decay. Also, it should be done while people were alive, and the people should be willing to do it. Otherwise, souls would have grudges, and the magic formation would be useless.

Chu Xun looked at these people. Although they were dead, their auras were powerful. They had defended here for tens of thousands of years, and their auras were still terrifying. If they were alive, they would definitely be in the Empyrean Immortal or at least in the Prime Immortal.

They must have cultivated for tens of thousands of years to reach this realm. But they were willing to die for setting up the magic formation with their bodies. If this magic formation was not used, their souls would be imprisoned here forever. In that way, they would never reincarnate.

This magic formation was Void Formation.

It could shatter the void and let people enter the chaotic void, just like how Chu Xun returned to Earth from the world of cultivation.

However, he was not an Immortal Emperor now. Without the body of an Immortal Emperor, how could he withstand the storm in the chaotic void? With his current cultivation, if he went into the chaotic void, he would be torn into pieces in a few minutes.

Chu Xun felt a little regretful. Even if he was lucky enough to survive in the chaotic void, he was not sure whether the magic formation could send him back to Earth.

There were too many uncertain factors in the chaotic void. Even Immortal Emperors didn’t dare to try it easily. Back then, when he came back to Earth, he almost died, his cultivation vanished, and he became a mortal, let alone now.

He couldn’t take this risk.
