709 Locking the Time River, Binding the Immortals

“Master, was that universe destroyed?” Yan Qing could not help but ask.

A universe suddenly disappeared into thin air. This kind of thing was too unbelievable and difficult to understand.

“No.” Emperor Wu shook his head gently and said, “I didn’t sense any signs of destruction in that space-time. It’s impossible for it to have been destroyed. It’s very likely that it was teleported away.”

“Teleportation?!” Yan Qing said in surprise, “Although the universe is floating in the Chaos Sea, it’s not a simple matter to move it. It’s impossible for an Invincible Immortal King to do it. Master, has a Quasi Immortal Emperor taken action?”

“…” Emperor Wu fell silent. He looked at the Lost Water Treasure Mirror. After a long while, he said very reluctantly, “No, there are no signs of a Quasi Immortal Emperor taking action.”

“Then…” Yan Qing was also confused.

The Lost Water Treasure Mirror was a treasure personally refined by an Immortal Emperor. It could accurately monitor the subtle fluctuations of the River of Time.

As for Quasi Immortal Emperors, they had extremely powerful time power. However, if they attacked, they would definitely cause ripples in the River of Time.

Now, Master said that the Lost Water Treasure Mirror had not detected anything…

How did this happen?

It couldn’t be that something had gone wrong with this treasure mirror, right?

However, how could a treasure personally refined by an Immortal Emperor make a mistake?

Could it be that the person who attacked had exceeded the maximum monitoring limit of the Lost Water Treasure Mirror?

Didn’t this mean that an existence comparable to an Immortal Emperor had taken action?

Junior Brother Feng was only an Invincible Immortal King. To a Quasi Immortal Emperor, he was like an ant. How could he alarm an Immortal Emperor?

No matter what, he could not understand it. It was really unbelievable.

“Even the Lost Water Treasure Mirror can’t find any traces of that universe.” At this moment, Emperor Wu also became tense, and his surprise became stronger and stronger.

“It’s too strange. Whether it’s in the Boundless Chaos Sea or on the Time Spectrum, there’s no trace of that universe. It’s as if it never existed. How can such a thing happen? Could it be… an Immortal Emperor?!”

Facing such a situation that he had never encountered before, a Quasi Immortal Emperor like Emperor Wu could not figure it out at all. In fact, like Yan Qing, he began to wonder if this was done by an Immortal Emperor.

But why was this happening?

Why would an Immortal Emperor make a move?

If it was just for Feng Sheng, it was definitely not worth it.

If it was really an Immortal Emperor, there must be a deeper reason.

Moreover, he was clearly hiding something by hiding the universe so decisively.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Emperor Wu’s mind. He felt that he had finally grasped the key to the problem. His eyes immediately lit up, and a cold smile appeared on his face. “I see, I see. He really revealed his own evil designs unintentionally!”

Yan Qing was confused and did not understand why his master suddenly laughed. He hurriedly asked, “Master, what’s wrong? Did you discover any clues?”

“Were you also guessing that an Immortal Emperor had interfered in this matter just now?” Emperor Wu asked instead of answering and looked at Yan Qing.

“Yes.” Yan Qing nodded and said in a low voice, “Other than an Immortal Emperor, I really can’t think of any other reason for this unbelievable situation.”

“Then our guess should be the same. It’s most likely that an Immortal Emperor has taken action.” Emperor Wu nodded slightly and said, “Do you still remember what I told you before? I wanted Feng Sheng to lure out a Quasi Immortal Emperor?”

“Because there’s news that a Heaven Earth Saint Realm expert has passed away in the Boundless Chaos Sea. You want to use this to verify the authenticity of this news…” At this point, Yan Qing suddenly felt enlightened. His entire body tensed up. “I also know what’s going on!”

“Not bad.” Emperor Wu nodded and said, “This Immortal Emperor suddenly attacked and hid so deeply. He even hid the entire universe. He’s probably hiding the changes in the laws of that universe.

This also means that there must be a problem with the changes in the laws of that universe, and it’s very disadvantageous to them. This is actually the result I wanted to verify. I reckon that there’s really a big problem!”

“Master is right. I guess so too. However, I have another thought,” Yan Qing said very respectfully.

“What thought?” Emperor Wu asked.

“What if this act of hiding a universe was a trap to deceive us?” Yan Qing said in a low voice.

“Yes, that’s indeed possible.” Emperor Wu nodded in agreement with Yan Qing’s words. Then, he said, “However, the possibility is extremely small.

After all, our goal is to investigate if a Heaven Earth Saint Realm expert has really died. As long as there’s no definite news, we won’t act rashly. Such a trap is almost impossible to work.

Moreover, it’s not easy to teleport a universe away, let alone hide it on the Time Spectrum and hide the past and future of this universe.

If they want to achieve such an effect completely, they need at least two experts comparable to Immortal Emperors to make a move with all their might. They most likely need a Heaven Earth Saint to supervise on the side. Otherwise, the Immortal Emperors will suffer the backlash of time.

Even so, after completing this matter, the Immortal Emperors will still suffer a backlash from the River of Time. Their strength will greatly decrease for a period of time, and their combat strength will be severely damaged.

Such a powerful lineup and such a heavy price was paid just for a dangerous situation that’s almost impossible to succeed? This is clearly unlikely, but it’s very normal if it’s to hide the signs of the death of a Heaven Earth Saint Realm expert.

Although this also has the risk of arousing suspicion, as long as we can’t completely confirm if a Heaven Earth Saint has really died, we usually won’t act rashly.
