Mortals Wu Ji stopped in front of an opened tombstone entrance. The tombstone was tossed aside, and there were more than a dozen corpses outside, with no one else visible. Dense immortal spiritual energy poured out from the entrance, and even though Wu Ji arrived last, he knew that the tomb was extraordinary.

Hesitating for only a moment, Wu Ji entered through the entrance.

A sloping passage several zhang wide appeared before Wu Ji. If he didn't know this was a tomb, Wu Ji would have thought he was walking on a wide road ramp.

Wu Ji quickened his pace, and after about half an incense stick's time, he stopped in a small plaza. At least a dozen statues stood around the plaza, each with an inscription stone bearing lengthy texts. Around the plaza, there were at least a dozen branching paths. When scanned with divine sense, each path led to an endless depth, appearing like an underground maze.

Wu Ji's divine sense swept to the largest statue. The name engraved on the inscription stone below the statue was Grand Emperor Wusheng, along with some of his deeds as the founder of the Wusheng Dao Sect. From this record, Wu Ji learned that the Wusheng Dao Sect was established next to the Wusheng River, meaning the Wusheng River was even more ancient than the Wusheng Dao Sect.

Wu Ji lost interest in the various deeds depicted later. He merely glanced at the other statues, read some of the textual records, and quickly left the plaza, choosing one of the passages to enter.

The passage narrowed as he progressed, and traces of fighting were visible everywhere. Along the way, there was even a corpse with its skull shattered.

"Boom!" A dull impact sounded to Wu Ji's side. Wu Ji instinctively stepped back, only to find that it was just the stone wall of the passage.

Wu Ji swept his divine sense across the passage walls, but found that it could not penetrate them at all.

"Boom boom!" Two more dull sounds followed, and a crack even appeared in the passage not far from him.

Wu Ji instantly understood that it wasn't a crack, but the seam of a stone door. The stone door had been blasted open because two people were fighting inside.

It seemed he was late. There were many stone doors in these passages, and he had only just realized that the stone doors would be closed if he was late. Wu Ji dashed through the door seam at almost his fastest speed.

"Pfft!" As soon as Wu Ji entered the stone chamber, a spray of blood shot towards him. Wu Ji slightly dodged and avoided the blood. As he landed, the stone door slammed shut again, and a corpse fell down.

It seemed the two had determined a victor. Wu Ji paid no attention to the corpse on the ground, his attention focused on the victorious cultivator.

Immediately, he was stunned. The guy actually had a nine-tenths resemblance to him. If it weren't for the lightning scars all over his face and neck, the guy would have looked even more like him. If this wasn't the Immortal Realm, he might have even thought this guy was his long-lost brother.

Wu Ji subconsciously touched his face. His appearance was already not much different from how he looked on Earth.

"Thump!" The victorious cultivator, seemingly heavily injured, slumped to the ground. He stared at Wu Ji, his face filled with shock. He seemed unable to believe how similar Wu Ji's appearance was to his own.

"Who are you?" the cultivator on the ground asked in a hoarse voice.

Wu Ji said calmly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that if you don't heal, you won't live."

Wu Ji knew that the guy's injuries were severe. Even with his own current strength, it would be difficult for him to recover from such injuries. After saying that, he began to examine the stone chamber.

There was only a shrine and a stone table in the stone chamber, and nothing else.

"You don't need to look, there's nothing here..." Seeing Wu Ji searching around, the cultivator on the ground barely managed to say.

Even without the cultivator saying so, Wu Ji knew there was nothing inside. The shrine and stone table showed no signs of being touched. Although he didn't understand what the guy and the other guy were fighting for if there was nothing here, that wasn't his concern.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Wu Ji turned to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to save the guy who looked so much like him, but he really couldn't. The guy's spirit channels were clearly broken, and his sea of consciousness was damaged. Even if he wanted to save him, it would take all his effort and drain his own Life and God Storage Channels.

He didn't know this guy at all. He wasn't noble enough to exhaust his abilities saving someone in such a dangerous place. If it were someone else, they would definitely take advantage of his misfortune. Not taking advantage of his misfortune already made him one of the few decent people.

"Wait!" The dying cultivator called out to Wu Ji as he was about to leave.

Wu Ji stopped and said, "Your injuries are severe. The pills I have won't have much effect on you. So even if I wait, I won't be able to save you."

The cultivator shook his head. "I'm not asking you to save me. I know I'm about to die. Even if an Immortal Emperor came, they wouldn't be able to save me. Not only have my sea of consciousness and spirit channels collapsed, but my primordial spirit is also beginning to disintegrate. I just want to ask you for a favor..."

Seeing Wu Ji frown, the cultivator quickly explained, "I have something here. See if it's useful to you. If it is, take it..."

With that, the cultivator struggled to take out a jade box.

Wu Ji reached out, and the jade box landed in his hand. He opened the jade box and found that it was just an ancient map. The map was somewhat blurry, and only a few general locations could be seen clearly.

This kind of thing was of no use to him at all. Wu Ji was about to throw the map back to the cultivator when he suddenly saw a bead drawn in the bottom corner of the map, with the words "Wood Origin Bead" written above it.

"This is a map of where the Wood Origin Bead once appeared... If it's useful to you, then do me a favor. If it's not useful, then, then..." The cultivator seemed to want to say "forget it," but the matter seemed very important to him, and he couldn't bring himself to say the words.

Wu Ji put the map back into the jade box and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just take the map and leave?"

Blood spilled from the corners of the cultivator's mouth. He smiled weakly and said, "You don't seem like that kind of person. If you were that kind of person, you would have killed me directly and taken my ring."

"This map is very useful to me. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Wu Ji put away the jade box and took out an image crystal ball.

If the guy's injuries weren't so severe and his primordial spirit weren't disintegrating, Wu Ji would have really wanted to save him.

"My name is Yan Ye. My grandfather, Yan Qi, is the head of the Yan family. My grandfather has seven sons. My father, Yan Yechang, is the eldest son. My mother is Lian Linu..."

Wu Ji interrupted Yan Ye's words, "Yan Dao-friend, I suggest you just tell me what you need me to do, so we don't waste time. You don't need to tell me about your family's situation. I'll help you with this favor anyway. The prerequisite is that I can help. If I can't help, no matter how much you say, it won't make a difference."

To Wu Ji, as long as he promised to do something, he would definitely find a way to help if he had the ability to do so. If he couldn't do it, he would be unmoved no matter how eloquently Yan Ye spoke.

"I know." Yan Ye's voice was even weaker. "I want to ask you to use my identity and go to the Yan family for just three months. After three months, you can go wherever you want..."

Wu Ji was stunned. Pretend to be Yan Ye? Then he thought of his own identity. He shouldn't have an identity. This was something he could do.

Seeing that Wu Ji didn't speak, Yan Ye continued, "After leaving this Wusheng Secret Realm, I will be marrying Ji Yue, the pride of the Ji family. I just want to ask you to do this for me..."

As soon as Wu Ji heard Yan Ye's words, he knew that he couldn't do this. "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this. Pretending to be you is one thing. But I won't go and marry that Ji Yue of the Ji family in your place. Tell me if you have any other requests. By the way, is this the Wusheng Secret Realm? How did this secret realm come to be? How long have I been in here? When can I leave?"

Yan Ye seemed not surprised at Wu Ji's earlier words. But when he heard Wu Ji's later words, he was immediately stunned. Wu Ji didn't even know about this secret realm. How did he get in here?

"Oh, I came in from somewhere else and accidentally ended up here." Wu Ji didn't hide it from Yan Ye. After all, the other party was about to die and couldn't reveal his secret anyway.

"Then that's even better. You can use my identity to get out. Otherwise, you don't have an identity jade token. You're sure to die..." Yan Ye trembled and pointed to his ring, "My identity jade token is inside."

"Thank you then, but I still can't agree to your condition." Wu Ji clasped his fist and said sincerely.

Yan Ye quickly said, "It's not really marrying Ji Yue. It's just helping her. Let her leave the Ji family in this way. As long as she marries into the Yan family, she can leave at any time."

Seeing the tenderness and adoration in Yan Ye's eyes, Wu Ji understood. This guy had a crush on Ji Yue and was willing to be used by her. He was using the means of marriage to let Ji Yue leave the Ji family and then let her go.

"The Ji family owes my father a clan-wide favor. I used this condition to propose marriage to the Ji family. The Ji family had no choice but to agree..." Yan Ye stopped and kept panting.

Wu Ji knew what a clan-wide favor was. It was a favor of saving the other party's entire clan. Don't even mention asking for a woman, even if he wanted more, the Ji family could only repay it.

He took out a few pills and put them into Yan Ye's mouth. After Yan Ye recovered a few breaths, he said, "You used your father's clan-wide favor to help a woman?"

Yan Ye sighed, "My parents are no longer here. My situation is complicated. It's hard to explain."

Wu Ji felt a huge quagmire, and his mind instantly cleared up. He stared at Yan Ye and said, "Yan Ye, tell me the truth. The cultivator you killed just now didn't have the ability to injure you so severely, to the point where your sea of consciousness is cracked and your primordial spirit is disintegrating, right? If you lie to me again, I'll leave immediately."
