The cultivators initially believed that the little fox had ultimately fallen because it couldn't find the Reincarnation Sea. But how did the Emperor discover this abyssal passage to the Reincarnation Sea?
So many of them had scoured the ancient forbidden grounds without noticing any sign of a passage to the Reincarnation Sea. How could the Emperor perceive it?
Nie Fengyun spoke solemnly, "This is the terrifying aspect of the Emperor. His mind is extraordinarily meticulous, surpassing ordinary understanding. Even the tiniest detail that we overlook can be captured by him."
Hearing this, the cultivators were instantly struck with fear.
The Reincarnation Sea was elusive and almost impossible to trace, yet the Emperor could discern clues they hadn't and reach the Reincarnation Sea.
Such meticulousness left everyone in awe.
A being with such a keen mind would never miss any detail easily.
At this moment, some quick-witted cultivators sensed something strange.
"Wait, if the Emperor has such a meticulous mind, why has he not noticed our preparations for this battle against the heavens? He has never even shown such attentiveness!"
This statement was like a wake-up call, causing all the cultivators to feel a wave of dread.
Indeed, they had been preparing for this battle against the heavens for a long time, plotting for years.
With the Emperor's perceptiveness, how could he not notice anything?
Their assault on the Heavenly Court had gone too smoothly. Especially after witnessing the Emperor's past today, it seemed even more unbelievable.
Given the Emperor's character, he definitely couldn't have missed it.
Something was off, very off.
Unable to figure it out, the cultivators decided not to dwell on the issue.
After all, the Emperor was currently suppressed within the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror. Unless he broke through to the Red Dust Immortal, he couldn't possibly break free from the mirror's suppression.
Suddenly, another cultivator exclaimed, "Wait, we previously thought the Emperor couldn't find the Reincarnation Sea, leading to the little fox's death. Now that the Reincarnation Sea has appeared, why did the little fox still perish?"
Everyone's gaze sharpened. Indeed, with the Reincarnation Sea's mystical nature and the presence of a Red Dust Immortal's soul aura, the bloodline curse of a mere great emperor should be easily resolved.
Yet they were certain that later on, there was no little fox beside the Emperor. This was an undeniable fact.
If the little fox hadn't died, it would surely be by the Emperor's side.
It couldn't have vanished without a trace. The only explanation was that the little fox's fate was still death.
And it was highly likely that it died in this ancient forbidden land.
Otherwise, someone would have seen the little fox.
But if the Reincarnation Sea had been found, why couldn't it cure the little fox's curse?
The cultivators couldn't figure it out, so they stopped speculating.
They turned their attention back to the young man in the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror.
Chu Yang's face was full of joy. Finding the Reincarnation Sea meant the little fox could be saved!
Moreover, the Reincarnation Sea's mystical nature far exceeded his expectations.
Just as he was about to enter the depths of the Reincarnation Sea to search for divine medicine.
Suddenly, a drastic change occurred!
Above the Reincarnation Sea, five extremely powerful auras erupted.
These five terrifyingly powerful auras were like sky-piercing blades, piercing through the firmament, suppressing all ages, as if nothing in the world could withstand them.
Then, five hunched old men in white robes slowly appeared.
Each of their eyes was lifeless, their actions sustained by their divine senses.
Yet their aura and pressure were terrifying, each one a quasi-emperor! Compared to them, even the previous demon ancestor seemed inferior; any one of them could suppress the demon ancestor.
At this moment, the cultivators outside the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror were all filled with shock.
Quasi-emperors!
Five quasi-emperor experts!
What a Terrifying Concept!
In ancient times, great emperors were exceedingly rare, and almost all of them lived in seclusion. Quasi-emperors were even more scarce, with hardly a trace of one to be found across the entire Wanling Continent.
Each quasi-emperor possessed unparalleled divine prowess. In that era, once a quasi-emperor appeared, no one in the world could challenge them.
Even the Nie family, known as the Eternal Family, had no quasi-emperor-level experts openly present during that time.
No matter how profound the foundation of the Eternal Family was, at most, it would house only one quasi-emperor.
But now, there were five quasi-emperor experts right before their eyes!
An experienced cultivator exclaimed in shock, "They are from the Ancient Immortal Clan!"
Hearing this, all the cultivators were stunned.
The Ancient Immortal Clan!
Though there were no signs of the Ancient Immortal Clan in the present day, their power was etched in history.
To be called the Ancient Immortal Clan signified profound foundations, possibly even with a Red Dust Immortal overseeing them.
However, the Ancient Immortal Clan only existed in the Archaic period, an era far removed from the present.
Moreover, the cultivators noticed a terrifying fact: the five quasi-emperors in the mirror had long been dead for countless years. They were acting solely on their lingering obsessions, guarding the Reincarnation Sea.
To achieve quasi-emperor strength merely by relying on obsessions—what did that signify?
All the cultivators shivered in fear. These five quasi-emperors were likely far more formidable in their lifetimes than just being quasi-emperors.
But then someone pointed out another unsettling and illogical detail.
"With five powerful quasi-emperors, there's no way the Emperor could have stood a chance. The little fox might have died because of this."
"But how could the Emperor have survived the combined might of five quasi-emperors?"
Hearing this, everyone was perplexed once again. Their minds were in turmoil; the current situation far exceeded their expectations.
With the obstruction of five quasi-emperors, there was no way the Emperor and his companions could approach the Reincarnation Sea, especially since the Emperor's current realm was only at the Supreme level.
Being able to reverse-kill a quasi-emperor-level demon ancestor was already incredibly astonishing. Defeating five quasi-emperors was absolutely impossible!
Yet the Emperor had already ventured into the Reincarnation Sea, uncovering all its secrets. How could these quasi-emperors let the Emperor leave?
The only plausible explanation was that the Emperor had broken through to the quasi-emperor level and annihilated all five quasi-emperors!
That seemed to be the only possibility.
However, the cultivators shook their heads, finding it too unbelievable. If the Emperor could really break through to quasi-emperor under such circumstances and reverse-kill five quasi-emperors, that would be too monstrous.
