Chapter 697: Peerless Nine Li (1)

697 Peerless Nine Li (1)

The previous Qin Emperors had always been tortured by their predestined lifespan of less than 300 years.

They, who had authority and everything, had only lived for 300 years. They were probably far from having lived enough.

It was understandable to want to live longer.

However, the problem was that they were the Son of Heaven. With a word, they could mobilize the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region back then.

Countless capable people advised them.

Then, a plan that could theoretically achieve immortality in one go was chosen by a certain Qin Emperor.

That was to nurture a divine body and become immortal.

It was really wishful thinking.

When a weak soul entered a powerful divine body, the only outcome was to be completely swallowed.

However, at that time, the cultivation world was still in the era of pioneering.

The strongest might only be a few Core Formation cultivators.

At that time, the knowledge grasped by the cultivation world was not enough for them to come to such a conclusion.

They thought that without a soul in the body, they could directly move over and control everything.

Creation was definitely difficult and slow.

This process had just begun and took a thousand years.

During this period, although the plan was far from successful, the generations of Qin Emperors who had reached the end of their lifespan could not wait to throw their souls into it.

Moreover, there seemed to be a tradition later on.

After every emperor succeeded the throne, they had to hold the soul of the old emperor and throw it into the deep well in hopes of protecting the dynasty.

However, their souls were naturally far from reaching the standard and were swallowed by the power in the stitched creature’s body.

The investment of their souls made this creature even stranger.

As generations of emperors passed on, their original goal might have long been forgotten.

They were not Jiang Li. Although the Earth Immortal Body was powerful, it would be even more troublesome to recover after being damaged.

The consecutive heavy injuries had already made their already tough state reach a very dangerous level.

Their strength in all aspects had already been greatly reduced. If this continued, this group of pillars of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region would probably die again.

Sigh. The current situation did not allow them to hold back.

Space was shattered!

Although it was only a relatively fragile mirror space, if such power landed on a person, who could withstand it?

“It’s that bell! The bell made that monster go crazy!”

“Leave quickly! Take the dragon vein and leave this place!”

The three divine pillars clearly had extremely brilliant probing methods.

They had all seen what had happened to the monster.

Fighting it head-on was clearly not a wise decision. Even the three of them thought so.

Not far ahead was the location where the dragon vein was sealed.

The mirror space was completely compatible with the real space. After shattering, it would not fall elsewhere.

They rushed with all their might and followed the chains on the ground. Soon, they saw the alms bowl that had fallen to the ground.

Previously, they had sealed the dragon vein under this Earth-rank alms bowl.

The dragon vein was related to the foundation of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region. It could not be lost.

That monster ate the dragon vein all year round. If it completely destroyed the dragon vein in its crazy state, at that time, when the Eastern Region became a wasteland, they could consider the matter of everyone migrating.

Clang!

However, whatever they feared happened.

The chain beside them was suddenly tightened by a force.

The alms bowl was pulled by the chain and flew towards the ancient creature.

The collapse of the mirror space just now made most of the people they left on the spot become rootless duckweed. How could they withstand such a pull?
