After pledging an oath of heaven, Song Yuxuang finally became Li Changsheng's true followers.
On the side, Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon watched with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Although they also acted subservient on the surface, deep down they were still big villains who had their own pride.
They might be able to bow their heads and try to curry favor with Li Changsheng for a little bit more lifespan, but it was difficult to make them surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
So, it came as a shock to them to see Song Yuxuang abandon their pride and decide to become Li Changsheng's subordinate in earnest.
So, what they should do know?
Their pride or a thousand years of lifespan, which were more important?
They were torn between two choices and couldn't make up their minds in a short period of time.
Seeing the complicated expression on the two men's faces, Li Changsheng laughed heartily and showed a satisfied smile.
He didn't doubt that they would follow in Song Yuxuang's footsteps sooner or later and pledge their loyalty to him.
It was only a matter of time.
Li Changsheng stopped paying them any attention anymore and turned his attention back to Song Yuxuang.
"I've already bestowed on you the lifespan I promised; now hurry up and tell me about the treasure you just mentioned."
As soon as the words came out of Li Changsheng's mouth, Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon hurriedly huddled closer and perked their ears up.
They were also extremely interested in the treasures mentioned by Song Yuxuang. After all, he also mentioned "Emperor Dao Fruit" as one of the treasures among the treasures within the treasury.
There's no way they would miss such important information. The Dao fruit of the great emperor may hide the opportunity to become an emperor.
Song Yuxuang glared at them, and a sarcastic remark spewed out of his mouth. "Don't even think about it. If anyone could get this opportunity, I've already taken it for myself. I trade this information specifically because it'll only work for my lord."
Mo Tiesha coughed in embarrassment and hurriedly defended himself, pretending to be wronged. "Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart! I'm Brother Li's lackey; how could I dare to covet Brother Li's belongings? Nonsense!"
Desolate Demon had already taken a few steps back, pretending that nothing had happened.
Li Changsheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about these two; just keep talking."
Song Yuxuang withdrew his glare and began his story.
"This treasure was discovered by me by chance. Many years ago, I accidentally discovered a strange-looking medicine. When I probed it closer, I realized that it was actually a holy medicine disguised itself as a common herb. If I hadn't accidentally stumbled upon it, I doubt that I could recognize it as a holy medicine."
"After being discovered by me, the holy medicine disappeared immediately. I followed its trace and finally found a ruin."
"The entrance of this ruin was protected by a terrifying formation. But it didn't stop me from trying to force my way in. I somehow succeeded in breaking into the ruin, but as soon as I entered, a dao mark shot into my body, and I was gravely injured and dying. Later, after waking up, I found that my vitality actually lost around a decade of lifespans!"
"I quickly go far away from the ruin, afraid that there might be another trap or mechanism that could kill me. After a few days passed, I finally had the time to study the mark and found that the mark was very similar to the Eternal Emperor's Dao Mark!"
Li Changsheng was a little bit surprised, but the two powerhouses showed a big reaction to Song Yuxuang's revelation; their shocked expression was a sight to behold.
"Are you sure it's a dao mark from the Eternal Emperor?!" Mo Tiesha couldn't hide his agitation and raised his voice at Song Yuxuang while Desolate Demon stared intently at him, waiting for his answer.
Li Changsheng might only know this name from the legend and didn't have much impression of this elusive Grand Emperor due to his inferior cultivation realm, but Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon couldn't be more aware of the significance of this name.
The legend said that he was an Ancient Grand Emperor who had lived for at least 100,000 years. Due to his long-lasting life, he was known as the Eternal Emperor.
No one knew when exactly, but he suddenly disappeared from the world without leaving any traces behind.
There were many theories about his disappearance, but the most prominent and popular one was that he had already lived to the limit of his lifespan and thus assimilated into the grand dao, or, in other words, he had passed away.
But due to his abrupt disappearance, he didn't leave any inheritance, nor did he have any descendants. He was one of the rare Emperors who wasn't affiliated with any powers or groups and remained in solitary seclusion.
Thus, over the years, countless people have ventured into many dangerous places all over the world to seek the chance of the Grand Emperor.
When Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon listened to Song Yuxuang's story, they immediately connected the dot with the Eternal Emperor's legend.
Could it be that the inheritance of the Eternal Emperor was actually hidden in this Eternal Dungeon?
Shrugging his shoulders, Song Yuxuang answered without any confidence, "Might be, might be not. I'm not sure. That place is very terrifying. Once you get close, your lifespan will be dwindling down in no time. I was very similar to the legendary Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone."
The Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone was a perilous and cursed land in which legend said many people who entered it would never return because, upon entering this forbidden place, they would lose their vitality and lifespan inexplicably.
The legend said that tens of thousands years ago, the last Emperor of the human race, Emperor Ye, barged into this forbidden area and destroyed it in his campaign before stepping up into Ancient Starry Skies.
And so far, no one had ever discovered the former location of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.
Hearing this, Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon were extremely regretful and gave Li Changsheng an envious look.
Sure enough, except for him, no one else in this world would be able to enter such a place, right?
"So I'm really the only one who can go in?" Li Changsheng rubbed his chin and showed a thoughtful look. He couldn't help but make a connection between his golden finger with the legend of the Eternal Emperor.
Did they have any connection with each other?
This mysterious place, which was used by the Great Desolate Kingdom, was known as Eternal Dungeon. Was it really a coincidence that it shared the same name as the Eternal Emperor?
Would he get any clue about his sudden arrival in this world if he went there?
Li Changsheng shook his head and decided not to dwell too much on it. Whatever it might be, it didn't change his decision to visit that place.
"Song Yuxuang, you lead the way. I'll go and see what's going on."
Song Yuxuang nodded and was about to set off when suddenly his footsteps halted.
Mo Tiesha and Desolate Demon also seemed to have noticed something and immediately turned their gazes in a particular direction.
"Someone is coming!" shouted Song Yuxuang.
