"Li Xuan, be careful with everything."
Dan Wuxie knew he couldn't persuade Li Xuan to stay, and he was also well aware of Xiaobai's capabilities. Now that there was a way into the ghost realm, Li Xuan would surely not sit still.
Furthermore, Dan Wuxie had seen Xiaobai appear out of nowhere before, indicating that Li Xuan possessed a great treasure. Dan Wuxie was much more relieved about Xiaobai's safety.
Li Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, then with a thought, he took out the cloud boat.
"Elder Dan, after I find Yao'er, I'll come find you for a drink," Li Xuan said to Dan Wuxie.
Dan Wuxie nodded, "As long as you are safe and sound, we'll have that drink sooner or later."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, then with a swift movement, he took Xiaobai and landed on the cloud boat. The next moment, the cloud boat pierced through the void and disappeared from Dan Wuxie's sight.
"Big Brother, how long will we be flying?" On the cloud boat, Xiaobai, holding a candied hawthorn in his left hand and cotton candy in his right, came up to Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan smiled, "It will take half a month, no need to rush."
Xiaobai said "Oh" and then, "Big Brother, then I'll go inside and play with Qinglong and Qingniu first."
Li Xuan nodded, then with a thought, he sent Xiaobai back into the Prison Suppressing Dimension.
"While I have this time, I might as well go take a look at the fifth level," Li Xuan mused, then entered the fourth level of the Prison Suppressing Dimension.
Looking at the entrance before him, Li Xuan stared for a moment before stepping through.
As his vision darkened, Li Xuan felt a strong sense of danger.
"Holy crap, Young Master, this aura is terrifying," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded at this moment, making the already tense Li Xuan feel even more annoyed. When did this guy follow him up?
"Prison Spirit, have I reached the fifth level?" Li Xuan looked around the pitch-black surroundings, then with a thought, he summoned the Prison Spirit.
"Master, this is indeed the fifth level," the Prison Spirit's voice echoed. Like the Heavenly Dao Brush, no shadow could be seen.
Li Xuan was somewhat speechless. This fifth level was so dark. With this thought, Li Xuan waved his hand and shot out a spiritual light.
The next moment, the surroundings instantly brightened.
"Young Master, why does it feel like what you're doing isn't quite right?" As the surroundings brightened, the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice sounded again.
Li Xuan was taken aback and then asked, "Are you planning to grope your way in the dark?"
Li Xuan was also helpless. The darkness just now was so intense that even his divine sense couldn't perceive anything. If he didn't do this, how would he find the interlayers of the fifth level?
"Mmm, after so many years, someone has finally come up."
Just then, a chilling voice suddenly rang out. Li Xuan shivered. A sudden utterance like this was too terrifying.
The next moment, Li Xuan's gaze shifted and he saw a stone coffin not far away.
To Li Xuan's surprise, this stone coffin was entirely black, unlike the stone coffins on the lower four levels.
"Young Master, this is Emperor Ye," the Prison Spirit's voice sounded in Li Xuan's ear.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. No wonder the fifth level was as dark as pitch. But Emperor Ye's grandeur seemed a bit too much.
"Junior Li Xuan greets Senior Emperor Ye." Despite his internal grumbling, Li Xuan respectfully bowed towards the stone coffin and called out. To be suppressed on the fifth level, and to be alone, one could imagine Emperor Ye's immense power.
"Little fellow, you are the new master of this Prison Suppressing Dimension. I will not make things difficult for you. Do as you please. Now, if there is nothing else, do not disturb me." After Emperor Ye finished speaking, a black light flashed on the stone coffin, and the entire coffin sank into the darkness and disappeared.
Li Xuan was stunned. Emperor Ye was truly remarkable. Before this, the stone coffins could not move back and forth like Emperor Ye's. It could be said that Emperor Ye, aside from being suppressed in the stone coffin, seemed to have no other restrictions.
"Young Master, I'd better go down and wait for you," said the Heavenly Dao Brush, then with a whoosh, it disappeared from the fifth level.
Li Xuan rolled his eyes at this. This guy was a complete coward. Seeing that the Prison Spirit was still standing by his side, Li Xuan felt somewhat comforted.
"Master, do you plan to go to the interlayer?" the Prison Spirit asked as soon as he saw Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the Prison Spirit walked up to Li Xuan and said, "Master, I will take you there."
Li Xuan was taken aback, but felt a bit displeased.
In this Prison Suppressing Dimension, it seemed that he was the master. Li Xuan felt indignant, and with a thought, the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated. A few breaths later, the entire fifth level was completely illuminated.
The Prison Spirit looked at Li Xuan with some surprise but quickly lowered his head.
"It seems I truly lost that bet with your master back then." Just then, Emperor Ye's voice sounded again. The next moment, the pitch-black stone coffin reappeared before Li Xuan.
Li Xuan frowned slightly, hearing Emperor Ye's tone, he didn't seem to blame Li Xuan for dispelling the darkness of the fifth level. And what was this about a bet with his master?
"You don't need to think too much about it. When your master suppressed me back then, I made a bet with him. If you dared not dispel the darkness upon reaching the fifth level, then I would win. But if you dispelled it, your master would win. This bet has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and I didn't expect it to be settled today."
As if guessing Li Xuan's thoughts, Emperor Ye's voice came out again.
Li Xuan was utterly speechless. Emperor Ye and his master should be important figures, yet they would make such a meaningless bet?
"As the stake, I can act for you three times. However, I have no interest in dealing with petty individuals." Emperor Ye then said, and the stone coffin disappeared. The next moment, a handsome man dressed entirely in black appeared before Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was petrified on the spot. The stone coffin had actually disappeared?
"Don't be surprised. Your master never intended to seal me with that stone coffin back then. But since I was defeated and suppressed here by your master, it's only natural to go through the motions, right?" Emperor Ye stretched and then looked at Li Xuan with a smile.
"Junior greets Senior Emperor Ye." Li Xuan said with a wry smile, then bowed respectfully to Emperor Ye again.
Emperor Ye waved his hand and said, "Go about your business, pay no mind to me. However, one thing is that apart from you, no one else should enter this fifth level."
"Junior understands." Li Xuan nodded, then let out a long sigh and walked towards the interlayer.
Watching Li Xuan leave, Emperor Ye smiled slightly and nodded, "This junior is quite interesting."
