Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 541: Mastering the Wind Cloud List

The Blackhead Duck was a bit bewildered.

It had genuinely been driven mad by Daoyan’s Emperor Mausoleum. In its many years on the job, it had never seen such an outrageous one.

What kind of layout was this? It had no sophistication at all.

Just a pile of random, messy things stacked together...

Despite studying it for so long, it still couldn’t understand it.

Of course, even if it couldn’t understand, the Blackhead Duck was still very confident, believing that besides itself, no one could find the true Emperor Mausoleum, or even Daoyan’s coffin.

It had never imagined that, after finally struggling its way into this passage, it would see Chen Pingping sitting cross-legged.

"How did you get here?" the Blackhead Duck asked again, showing vigilance.

"I don’t know either! I just somehow ended up in this place." Chen Pingping’s face was full of confusion. "By the way, have you seen Wuxia?"

"No."

"This place is terrifying..." Chen Pingping said. "I’ve been walking for so long, and I haven’t found a way out. What about you?"

Walked for a long time?

The Blackhead Duck’s eyes widened, and it suddenly jumped up, cursing, "Daoyan, that damned bastard!"

It had already guessed. This passage might not actually be the real entrance to the Emperor Mausoleum, it surmised. Daoyan’s Emperor Mausoleum might not even exist. Everything I’m seeing might just be Daoyan’s elaborate setup, or perhaps just a cenotaph—a clothes and crown tomb.

It was dumbfounded.

To think I’ve been trapped for so many years, only to learn this kind of truth!

The Blackhead Duck trembled with rage.

Of course, it still wouldn’t give up. Grabbing Chen Pingping, it marched forward, determined to find Daoyan’s coffin and unearth his Emperor Mausoleum.

Strolling alongside, Chen Pingping was secretly snickering, his eyes narrowed as he constantly sized up the duck.

At the same time, he was also attempting to control the Wind Cloud List.

According to Daoyan’s account, the entire Wind Cloud List was nothing more than a huge Heaven Tao Stone, never forged and still in its primitive stage. Daoyan had simply used "Three Begets All Things" to open up this small world within the Heaven Tao Stone.

Therefore, controlling the Heaven Tao Stone meant controlling the small world of the Wind Cloud List.

He had already received Daoyan’s legacy; now, he only needed time...

His Divine Sense reached out, beginning to connect with the Wind Cloud List.

Before long, the first strand of his Divine Sense touched the depths of the Wind Cloud List. In an instant, Chen Pingping’s Five Senses and Sixth Perception were infinitely magnified, extending out from this passage.

He saw into the depths and also saw Yue Wuxia, who was trapped...

His Divine Sense rushed towards the black cave. Every flower and blade of grass, every piece of wood and sand within the Wind Cloud List, was reflected in his eyes, including the silhouettes of those young talents.

At this moment, he was like a god.

Chen Pingping smiled.

A Great Opportunity...

With the Heaven Tao Stone as my trump card, I’ll have no fear even if a Saint King tries to make a move against me!

"What are you laughing at?" The Blackhead Duck suddenly turned its head. "Human Clan kid, you’re very strange."

"Blackhead Duck, Quasi-Emperor Realm..." Chen Pingping grinned. "You’ve lived for who knows how many years, a professional tomb raider, targeting all the Emperor Mausoleums in all the Heavens and myriad worlds."

"???"

"You’re quite powerful." Chen Pingping looked at it. "Why don’t you join me?"

It suddenly had an ominous premonition.

This Human Clan kid in front of me is too strange, it thought. Smiling so brilliantly in a place like this, so composed and confident, as if he has everything under control.

Without saying another word, the Blackhead Duck immediately fled deeper into the passage.

But Chen Pingping, who had taken control of the Wind Cloud List, was the only god in this small world.

He could easily manipulate everything here, using Dharma Principles, the Power of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements, stars, and the Great Tao to suppress the Blackhead Duck.

It couldn’t escape.

A few minutes later, Chen Pingping’s figure appeared on the other side, blocking the Blackhead Duck’s path.

The latter showed a startled look. "You!"

It was shocked, not knowing what had happened, nor why Chen Pingping had suddenly appeared before it.

Too strange.

I’ve been a professional tomb raider for so many years, and I’ve never encountered anything like this!

This is even more terrifying than when I faced a Great Emperor!

Chen Pingping smiled. "You can’t escape."

Blackhead Duck: "..."

It ran again in the direction it had come from, secretly vowing in its heart: If I can get out of here, I swear I’ll never face Chen Pingping again in this lifetime, nor will I ever go near Daoyan’s Emperor Mausoleum!

However, Chen Pingping was hellbent on capturing it; how could he possibly let it get away?

But now, he had more important things to do. With a wave of his hand, he trapped the Blackhead Duck within the passageway, then headed over to where Yue Wuxia was.

"Wuxia?" Chen Pingping called out.

SOB, SOB...

The terrified Yue Wuxia, finally hearing that familiar voice, burst into tears and threw herself into Chen Pingping’s arms.

"Pingping, where did you go?"

"Pingping, it’s so dark here, I can’t see the path."

"Pingping, don’t you leave me behind!"

At this moment, where was the Demon Emperor’s daughter’s previous composure and grandeur? She was like a frightened little fawn, only wanting to return to her mother’s side.

That was the only way to feel safe.

AHEM! Returning to Chen Pingping’s embrace also worked, it seemed; at least it provided some sense of security.

After sobbing from the injustice for a while, she calmed down and then cursed loudly, "Damn it... where’s that duck? I want to suppress it with the Emperor Weapon!"

That despicable duck! Putting me in such danger, I nearly died here! Unforgivable!

And what’s even more unacceptable is that I actually trusted that morally bankrupt duck!

She gritted her teeth. "Pingping, when we see that duck later, let’s activate the Emperor Weapon and kill it."

Chen Pingping wiped cold sweat from his brow. "Okay, but we should get out of here. This place is too scary. Who knows if there might be more of Daoyan’s traps deeper in."

Thinking of that, Yue Wuxia shuddered. "Let’s go quickly! But... which way?"

Chen Pingping used his Divine Sense to change the direction of a passageway, then pretended to fumble around, leading Yue Wuxia out of this nightmarish place...

Back at their original location, the fierce battle involving Dugu Qingfeng and others had already ended.

He had lost.

The Blackhead Duck’s judgment had been correct; Dugu Qingfeng, when he drew his sword, was indeed powerful. However, the other two were not weak either, and in a prolonged fight, he was bound to lose.

As for the surrounding young geniuses, many were gone.

But the battlefield, which had originally calmed down, was once again inexplicably ignited by their appearance, and the tension gradually rose.

Yue Wuxia’s heart raced, and she subconsciously called out, "Pingping."

I’m a bit panicked... she thought. And I don’t even know why.

Sound, the Alien Race genius, Qin Meng, the Ancient Country’s First Prince, Wen Qingshan, Cang Yun...

Familiar or unfamiliar, almost all the top geniuses who had entered the Wind Cloud List and had not yet been eliminated had gathered here.

They all looked towards the two of them.

There was only one reason:

The Emperor Mausoleum’s passage had just opened, and many had entered, but only Chen Pingping and Yue Wuxia had emerged alive.

What did this mean?

"Wuxia, don’t panic, you have a magical treasure," Chen Pingping offered solace.

"..."

He really shouldn’t have said that! Yue Wuxia thought, now even more flustered. I wasn’t this panicked before.

With many formidable adversaries in front of them, all wary of each other, it was unlikely that they would all attack them at once.

But after Chen Pingping’s words, she became even more flustered, an icy chill gripping her heart. She really wanted to say: Pingping! My magical treasure... it’s not going to be enough!

The most important point was that she had just been brandishing the Emperor Weapon, chasing after a group of geniuses, looking smug and superior.

Now, by mentioning the Emperor Weapon again, aren’t I just reminding them of their recent humiliation? This is clearly courting death!
