Chapter 6147: I Am Not
“Bam!” The five ancestors summoned a tablet in unison, towering through the sky like a divine blade and taking up the village’s entire area.
Upon closer inspection, it had no runes or diagrams, looking like a mountain being carved down to this shape. Only the keenest eyes would be able to see the indiscernible lines that seemed to be natural.
“Sir, please open the door.” Gold Ancestor asked Li Qiye.
He smiled and sent the ten loops out. They attached to the tablet and formed a special cosmic rune.
“Creak.” The faint lines sank deeper into the rock, allowing the ten loops to fully fuse with it.
“Boom!” Countless runes finally emerged in a flashy manner, seemingly possessing an immortal power and immeasurable weight.
Their rotation created a pulsing gate blessed by an immortal. Primal ancestors weren’t strong enough to walk through.
“Sir, please be careful. This area was created to destroy the world.” Gold Ancestor bowed.
Li Qiye smiled and entered the gate without hesitation.
The five progenitors heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this. Fire Fairy murmured: “I hope the three immortals will be saved.”
The other four sat down next to it, protecting the gate to prevent any complication.

Outside of Enigma Grotto, the woodcutter and the emperors from Enigma waited for Li Qiye’s return.
This region was far from Sin, unreachable by any emperor without the proper guide.
“Come out.” The woodcutter’s eyes suddenly released an overwhelming light.
“Bam!” It shot through the sky and forced out an emperor who was in stealth.
The latter became alarmed and retreated with haste. Just the gaze alone obliterated his defenses and made him vomit blood.
“Incredible, so this is the power of the legendary Hidden Ancestor.” The emperor said in astonishment.
Those from Enigma finally noticed the intruder - an emperor wearing a robe engraved with blood-red rubies. The two shoulder plates had larger blood crystals.
This outfit matched his crystal physique. His flesh and blood were visible beneath. The armor and body combined to form a formidable defense, not to mention the sharp rays emanating from him.
“Clank!” He held a scythe capable of cutting anyone’s throat. It had been imbued with a curse to bypa.s.s any normal defense, always targeting the most vulnerable spots.
“Bloodscythe Emperor!” Those from Enigma had a bad feeling about this.
“Immortal Suppression is here!” Disaster Emperor shouted and everyone stood up.
“Emperors shouldn’t scurry like rats, come out.” Chu Zhu said.
“We waited a long time for this day.” A woman appeared, accompanied by a heatwave evaporating the nearby waters.
“Bloodsparrow Emperor.” The others weren’t surprised to see her.
“Count me in.” A sun rose from the ocean - Yangrune Emperor with his s.h.i.+eld.
“Fellow Daoist Transcendent, what are you waiting for?” Chu Zhu said.
“Buzz.” Transcendent Emperor also appeared, overshadowing everyone.
Not only did he make people feel inferior and unworthy, the world itself was robbed of its brilliance. He always became the focal point regardless of the time and place.
“We meet again, everyone. You must be the famed Hidden Ancestor of Enigma.” He spoke to the woodcutter.
“I am not, but it looks like Immortal Suppression still hasn’t given up.” The woodcutter said.
“Enigma is a seed of discord in Sin, our goal is to destroy it. Today looks like the right opportunity to catch everyone.” Transcendent said.
“You sound confident.” Disaster interjected.
“Certainly. We knew of this island long ago but never acted on it. Now, all of you have gathered so we will destroy you all and this island, permanently putting an end to Enigma.” Transcendent smiled.
“I don’t think you alone can do so.” Chu Zhu said.
