The Immortal Demon Grotto was not famous in the nine worlds. Few even knew of its existence. The ones who were aware of it had, more or less, something to do with Li Qiye.
In fact, even the privileged few couldn’t find it for a visit. The reason was very simple. After escaping the grotto’s control, Li Qiye and an emperor worked together to banish the spatial location of the grotto. Thus, even if people managed to find the entrance, they would come to find that it was a dead end.
The grotto’s area was banished into deep s.p.a.ce. Unless one was able to find the exact coordinates from Li Qiye, it was impossible to enter.
In fact, ever since the banishment, there had only been two instances of people arriving.
The first was the Ancient Ming, tricked by Li Qiye with the story of Gong Yang. The Ancient Ming didn’t only use several overlords to make their way in. They even directly drove their Corporeal Zone inside, wis.h.i.+ng to suppress the grotto.
Li Qiye was the one who purposely leaked the coordinates to the Ancient Ming. Unfortunately for the Ancient Ming, they weren’t ready for the existence they found inside. The confident overlords didn’t prepare enough and only got away with grievous injuries due to the Corporeal Zone. This artifact suffered damage as well.
The second intruder was Immortal Emperor Ta Kong, tricked by Gu Zun. He was the leaker of the coordinates this time.
The emperor’s expedition alarmed the Black Dragon King’s group. Meanwhile, Li Qiye, as the Dark Crow, was very unstable at the time. The Black Dragon King waged war furiously against the emperor before leading his legion inside.
He had unstoppable generals accompanying him. This allowed for him to seize Li Qiye’s body from the grotto. However, they paid a grave price as well. The third body of the king fell in this battle along with his generals. The entire legion was virtually annihilated. This once amazing legion from Heaven Suppression was in-name-only henceforth.
It wasn’t so easy to steal Li Qiye’s body. It required sacrificing the Heaven’s Will of Immortal Emperor Ta Kong before obtaining a complete body. Otherwise, his souls and true fate would have been stuck in the crow forever.
In fact, Jian Wenxin exhausted her means to come up with a different method to obtain a complete body without sacrificing the Heaven’s Will. Empress Hong Tian also agreed with this plan and felt that she could kill her own way inside. Alas, Li Qiye rejected this method.
He stood before the grotto with old memories resurfacing and stirring his emotions. He didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
His youthful-self entering this place by accident has changed his whole life and the nine worlds. The river of time had s.h.i.+fted due to this event.
In the end, he smiled wryly while shaking his head then stepped inside the entrance. It was an empty crater, a scene of destruction.
This was the result of the spatial banishment. The grotto was indeed in front of him. If one didn’t have the exact coordinates, they would never be able to enter even if they were to destroy this whole location.
“Whoos.h.!.+” Li Qiye raised his finger. A spatial disc emerged instantly with innumerable coordinates that stretched out as wide as an ocean. Finding a banished set of coordinates was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Qiye quickly locked on to a coordinate and activated his method. With a buzz, he was teleported to a different sphere.
The grotto wasn’t actually a type of cave. It was an independent world that was quite large with its own celestials. Continents and oceans could be found here.
Li Qiye was too familiar with this place because he had involuntarily flown back several times as the Dark Crow. He knew the place like the palm of his hand.
However, it was a different scene now with no semblance of the past.
