The young boy was ignorant but very obedient.
He quickly bent down, "Thank you, brother."
"It's nothing."
A hint of paleness appeared on Chen Fan's face.
This meeting gift was absolutely not small.
Washing his physical body with rules consumed a lot of physical body path rules.
He didn't want to waste any more time on these trivial matters.
Chen Fan directly asked, "City Lord Yifu, may I know why Wuji summoned me here?"
Yifu said, "Senior asked me to bring you to see him."
"Hmm?"
"Senior cannot come out for the time being."
A hint of solemnity appeared on Yifu's face, "Senior is locked in a certain place after a gamble with someone."
"Wuji is gambling with someone?" Chen Fan was surprised.
In this world, besides the Five Heavenly Emperors, was there anyone else who could gamble with Wuji?
That man was a legend.
A hint of reverence appeared on Yifu's face.
Gone was the aura of solitary existence he had in the City of Freedom. Now, he looked like a fanboy.
Wuji's fanboy.
"That's right."
Yifu nodded solemnly and said, "You'll understand when you see Senior later."
"Alright."
Without Yifu to guide him, Chen Fan wouldn't be able to find that place.
Even with coordinates, it wouldn't work.
"Let's go."
Yifu produced a Dharma disk in his hand.
As energy was injected, the Dharma disk immediately glowed.
A familiar force of rules spread out, enveloping the three of them.
"City Lord Wuji's Dao of Sealing?" This was not difficult to discern.
Back in the lower realm, the three seals were controlled by three factions, and Chen Fan controlled one of them.
He encountered it again here.
Yifu's nod proved he was not mistaken.
"Boom."
The Dharma disk enlarged, tearing open the Chaos.
A passage forged from rules appeared beneath the Dharma disk.
Rules flowed within the passage.
"What a grand gesture." To be honest, Chen Fan was truly shocked.
To forge a passage using the power of rules, how many people would have to be killed to strip them away?
In any case, these rules could not possibly belong to City Lord Wuji.
It was too wasteful.
Even Chen Fan, who walked the path of all daos, would not be willing to expend so many rules to forge a passage.
Yifu beside him said with admiration, "These are the rules Senior obtained by killing in the Chaos."
"Chaos?"
Chen Fan paused, "City Lord Wuji is not in the Immortal Realm?"
"Of course not."
Yifu looked at the young man beside him with confusion, "If Senior were in the Immortal Realm, why would he ask you to meet him in the Chaos?"
Huh, that makes sense.
It was quite reasonable.
Chen Fan fell silent.
Rules flowed in the passage. There was no need to actively step forward; the rules, as they washed over them, would naturally carry them downstream.
As they flowed along the long river, there was a feeling of disorientation.
"Chen Fan."
Yifu, holding his grandson, spoke, "Are you planning to become an Emperor through all daos?"
"Yes."
Facing Yifu, Chen Fan did not hide anything, "I plan to lead the long river with life and death for now and enter the Emperor realm."
Yifu was not surprised.
From their first meeting, he had sensed the difference in this visitor from the lower realm.
That arrogance ingrained in his bones was almost identical to Wuji's.
Yifu continued, "If you wish to become an Emperor through all daos, you should gain considerable insights when you meet Senior later."
"Is Senior Wuji also an Emperor through all daos?"
"No."
Yifu shook his head, "Senior primarily walks the path of suppression."
Suppression, Chen Fan was very familiar with it.
"Then why did you say..."
"You'll understand when you see him."
"Alright."
The two continued their conversation.
As they talked, the rules continued to flow.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a strange Dao charm spread along the passage.
The feeling was as if it was about to suppress Chen Fan within the passage.
"We're here."
Yifu suddenly spoke.
"Yay, we're home," the young boy said with a naive smile.
Saying so, he actually stepped out of the passage of rules.
"This child..." Yifu smiled dotingly.
Afterward, the Dharma disk was put away.
The passage of rules gradually dissipated, and the Chaos dispersed.
What appeared before them was a great mountain.
"This is a divine mountain floating in the Chaos," Yifu explained from the side.
The young boy had already run far ahead, clearly familiar with this place.
Chen Fan remained silent, his gaze sweeping across the area.
This mountain was immense. Although there was only one, it was vaster than continuous mountain ranges.
It was worth mentioning that the rules on the divine mountain were no longer chaotic.
They had clearly been tidied up by someone.
As for who…
"There."
Yifu looked up, towards the mountaintop.
Chen Fan's eyes were like the sun and moon, and he saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the summit.
A back, an unfamiliar back.
"Hoo."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and strode forward.
Dao patterns flowed beneath his feet. With a single step, he was on the mountaintop.
Before him was the back.
"You've arrived."
Everything here was beyond the perception of the figure with his back turned.
The voice carried a hint of vicissitude, as if he hadn't spoken in a very long time.
Chen Fan bowed respectfully, "Senior Wuji."
It was this back that had once suppressed an era.
The figure spoke, "How is the lower realm?"
"Very good."
Although he didn't know why the other party was asking this.
Chen Fan answered truthfully. After a moment's thought, he retorted, "Are you homesick, Senior?"
"Home?"
The voice was full of helplessness, "Where is home?"
"Where the heart resides is home," Chen Fan said.
"..."
The figure fell silent.
Perhaps he was reminiscing, perhaps he was contemplating.
After a long while, he spoke, "Look ahead..."
Chen Fan looked up, and his pupils instantly contracted.
"That is..."
"Familiar?"
He nodded.
How could it not be familiar?
Ahead was a dry riverbed, and on the riverbed stood a person.
"Do you know who he is, Senior?" Chen Fan asked.
Ever since he first saw that figure, he had wanted to know his identity.
"Immortal Lord."
"What?"
The simple two words stunned Chen Fan, "You said, he is the Immortal Lord?"
"Mm."
The figure nodded.
He added, "Shortly after I entered the Immortal Realm from the Immortal Gate, I found the Immortal Lord, and we have been fighting until now."
"Senior means, the Immortal Lord is still alive?"
"He is alive, yet he is dead."
What did that mean?
"His soul is extinguished. His physical body has been resurrected from death, and it has developed consciousness, but it is no longer the Immortal Lord of the past."
After speaking, he chuckled, "Fighting against the heavens is endlessly enjoyable. Fighting against the earth is endlessly enjoyable. It is a great honor to be able to spar with such a powerful being."
"Then why did you call me here..."
"There's a small matter that requires your help."
"Please tell me, Senior."
There was no ambiguous answer. If Wuji made a request, Chen Fan would do it.
"I need you to help me kill the other four Heavenly Emperors besides Chu Heidi."
Chen Fan: "..."
This was called a small matter?
Chen Fan felt completely flustered.
He didn't refuse, but he asked, "Do those four Heavenly Emperors have any enmity with you, Senior?"
"No."
Wuji's voice was still calm, "Back then, I fought with the Five Heavenly Emperors. Besides Heidi, the remaining four were all manifestations of the origin of the Dark Realm."
"..." Chen Fan.
This news was rather significant.
