Chapter 43043 Lake Bottom Tomb
The identities of all the disciples of Xuanyin Xianzong are recorded in the files and guarded by the elders of Wuya Book Pavilion. Except for the sect leader and others, no one else is allowed to see it.
Therefore, only Chi Qingxuan and a few others knew Xie An's identity.
As his master, Shi Hua didn't care much about his identity. The only thing he cared about was the part of the plot mentioned by the system before, which was about Xie An and Xie Wanmian.
Yun Wan looked here and there, but didn't see anything.
"Stinky fox, what do you mean? Is Xie An also a member of your fox clan?"
Tu Yi's fox eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
Xie An didn't think there was anything to hide about his identity.
He is a disciple of Xuanyin Immortal Sect. No matter how noble his status in the mortal world is, it has nothing to do with him. He is just a disciple of Xuanyin Immortal Sect and the apprentice of Shuyu Immortal Venerable.
"Before I joined the Xuanyin Immortal Sect, I was the fourth prince of the Xuantian royal family."
There is a Human Emperor in the mortal world, and outside of the Human Emperor there is a clan of immortal cultivators who live in the Xuantian Kingdom thousands of miles away from the mortal world. They have been practicing immortal cultivation since childhood but have never entered the immortal sect. They are called casual cultivators.
The combination of independent cultivators may give birth to a child with natural spiritual bones.
Xie An is the fourth son of King Xuantian. He was born with a celestial-level spiritual bone and was placed with great hopes by the royal family.
He had two older brothers and a younger sister, and was doted on from childhood. As King Xuantian's fate neared its end and a crown prince was urgently needed, Xie An, unwilling to see his brothers fight each other, voluntarily withdrew and joined the immortal sect, completely eliminating any possibility of succession.
Xie An never mentioned these things in front of others.
"It's all in the past. I have my Master, my senior brothers and sisters, and so many friends now. I'm not sad at all!"
"There's nothing good about being born into a royal family. I'm living a happy life now!"
Xie An threw away all his past with a playful smile.
If he himself appeared so sad, everyone would surely be worried about him.
Xie An knew very well what he was thinking.
"I agree with that." Tu Yi jumped onto him and patted his shoulder with his little paw. "If you ask me, being free is the best. What's the point of being a king?"
At this moment, Xie An actually felt that he had some resonance with this fox.
Mo Qiuyi glanced at the two men who had recovered their breath and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The secret realm has not yet opened. We can only avoid the people of the Fox Clan and try to get as many opportunities as possible. We can't let them snatch them all away."
She took out a jade slip, which recorded several places she had explored that might have opportunities.
Everyone came over.
The fox tribe's cultivation level was generally above the Nascent Soul stage, so they couldn't engage head-on, but needed to outsmart them. After agreeing on a route, everyone stepped on their flying swords and flew low to avoid attracting the fox tribe's pursuit.
The opportunities Mo Qiuyi mentioned were, in the plot, obtained by the male protagonist, who led them there. The encounter with the fox tribe occurred when they were retrieving the sword from the lava volcano. But now, the male protagonist, Wei Shizhou, had a very small presence, remained silent and unprompted, and thus passed these opportunities on to others.
No one knows what he wants to do.
The system is unable to detect, so Shi Hua can only take one step at a time and make sure the plot does not fail in the end.
*
Among these opportunities, the most important one is the thing in the tomb at the bottom of the lake.
According to the records left by the predecessors, it is an elixir of grade seven or above, which is of great benefit to the breakthrough of cultivators above the Lianxu level.
Mo Qiuyi wanted to obtain this elixir for Jin Qing.
Shi Hua had read the plot and knew that this elixir was called Tianyuan Pill, which was indeed above the seventh grade and was also an important item for the male protagonist to break through in the later period.
One is the immortal fruit, the other is the Tianyuan Pill.
But Wei Shizhou obviously had no intention of taking the elixir.
The group flew to their destination.
The lake was dark, reflecting the half-bright moonlight, and a hazy mist drifted slowly. Not a single bird flew across the surface, and it was as clean as a mirror.
There were messy footprints on the shore.
Huo Bu Ran squatted down to check, "The blood around here... has spiritual energy fluctuations."
It seems that a fierce fight took place here before they came.
Tu Yi maintained his red fox form, standing on Shi Hua's shoulder, his little nose twitching slightly.
"There's also the scent of the fox clan."
Shi Hua released his spiritual sense to check the bottom of the lake.
The lake is not very deep, and there is a bronze door at the bottom, which should be the entrance to the tomb.
Yun Wan took out the talisman paper she had prepared and stuffed it into their hands one by one. When she walked up to Shi Hua, she paused for a moment. She hesitated and frowned.
He glanced up at her quickly and stuffed a handful in at random.
No matter what her cultivation level is, in the secret realm, no matter how strong she is, she is only at the Nascent Soul stage, and her talisman paper can still be used!
Yun Wan walked back proudly.
Mo Qiuyi went down first, "Follow me closely."
Only after jumping into the bottom of the lake did I discover a different world.
It looks like a lake, but in fact it is more like a tomb covered with lake water to hide the treasures inside.
The bronze door showed signs of looseness and was pushed open without much effort.
The surroundings were pitch black, with only a few moonlight seeping in, and there was no sign of any living fish.
Miraculously, after they passed through the bronze gate, the lake water was cut off outside the gate.
Qin Xiyan reached out and touched the scratches on the rock wall. "It looks like a move from the Jianchen Sect."
Xie Wanmian also found traces in a place ahead of her, "There is also Bixu Palace."
"Here!" Yun Wan walked quickly and pointed at the corner and called out to them.
Several people followed quickly.
In an instant, the smell of blood mixed with an indescribable stench hit him in the face.
The stench was not like the smell of a rotting corpse, but more like the stench of a dying poisonous insect.
Tu Yi covered his nose and yelled, "It's Tu Ye's breath!"
Only traces of Tu Ye would stink so bad!
Tu Ye's cultivation is unique among them. He feeds on poisonous insects and his whole body is poisonous.
Shi Hua continued to expand the scope of his spiritual consciousness.
"They've already gone in. There are no survivors nearby."
Among these corpses, there were those from Jianchen Sect, Bixu Palace, and Xuanyin Immortal Sect. Mo Qiuyi found the only body of a disciple from Lingyuan Pavilion among the many corpses.
His pupils shrank suddenly.
Huo Bu Ran walked to her side and whispered, "Don't think too much."
Mo Qiuyi calmed down and said, "Keep going."
Shi Hua walked at the back and tapped the system: "Keep an eye on Wei Shizhou."
[Okay, Immortal Venerable, don’t worry! ]
Wei Shizhou was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
She glanced at him vaguely, but saw that his eyes were looking ahead with a gloomy look.
*
This tomb is so large that it is hidden under the lake.
It's hard to get to the end because of the twists and turns inside.
Tu Ye relied on divination by the disciples of Lingyuan Pavilion to reach the deepest part of the tomb.
At first, these disciples of the immortal sect did not cooperate, so he killed a few of them to set an example. There were few disciples in Lingyuan Pavilion, so he would not act easily. However, these people were tough and they had to be killed by him before they would behave.
Tu Ying glanced at the weak Mo Huai, her brows slightly furrowed, "Seventh brother, be careful with this guy."
In order to protect his fellow disciples, Mo Huai took the initiative to step forward and divine for them, because this tomb was the resting place of a powerful person, and he would suffer the most severe backlash if he divined privately.
Tu Ye didn't care at all, his blood-red pupils flashed with contempt, and he twisted a lock of his red hair carelessly, "We have reached the last tomb chamber. He is dead and he is dead."
After entering the secret realm, Tu Ye captured some of the immortal monks he met along the way and killed the rest.
Meeting my sixth brother was an accident.
Everyone was here to fight for the inheritance, and they all knew what they were planning. Tu Ye's willingness to join him was self-evident.
And Tu Ying was also on guard against him.
Among the brothers, apart from the third brother Tu Chen who has a terrifying cultivation level, Tu Ye is the most vicious and will not care about anything just because of his identity as the sixth brother.
Tu Ying walked away from him calmly.
Tu Ye glanced at him with bloodshot eyes, raised his hand and pinched Mo Huai's neck, his eyes dangerous: "How do we break through the last bronze door?"
Mo Huai was no longer able to divine. He moved his fingers and spoke with difficulty: "I... I can't divine anymore..."
There were only five disciples of Lingyuan Pavilion who entered the secret realm this time. After he killed one of them, the remaining three were unable to break the mystery of the bronze door.
If he just exerted a little force, the man would die.
The bronze door was as solid as a rock, and even with his and Tu Ying's skills they couldn't break it open by force, not to mention the danger hidden behind the bronze door.
Tu Ying's ambiguous gaze swept across Mo Huai's pale cheek, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking at the other three people, "Seventh brother, don't we still have them?"
The three men begged for mercy again and again.
"No, no, no, we can't calculate it!"
"I'm afraid that before we can figure it out, it will backfire and kill us!"
Mo Huai's talent and cultivation are superior to theirs. If he hadn't been fortune-telling with the bronze door in front of them, none of them would have been able to last the third day.
Murderous intent flashed in his blood-red eyes.
He looked at Mo Huai, "Either divination or they die!"
The three of them were immediately frightened and fell silent, crying silently for Mo Huai to save them.
They knew that Mo Huai had a secret technique called Pupil Technique, but it had a strong backlash and should not be used lightly. Mo Huai was their senior brother and had always protected them since they entered the secret realm. For emotional and logical reasons, they kept this a secret.
It is a favor that Mo Huai has protected them to this point.
The black demonic power clamped around the three people's necks.
Mo Huai struggled to grab his wrist, "Don't, don't kill them... I have another idea!"
He couldn't just watch his fellow disciples die.
Tu Ye captured disciples from various sects, and it was unknown whether it was to threaten the sect or for some other purpose, but Mo Huai only remembered one thing, that they from Lingyuan Pavilion must return intact, even if they died, they had to bring their bodies back with them!
The owner of this tomb had already gotten a glimpse of this when he was fortune-telling earlier.
This person seemed to be extremely obsessed with alchemy. There was a faint scent of elixir everywhere, almost all of which were the scent of seventh-grade elixirs.
If his guess was correct, his coffin should be inside the last bronze door.
What's the difference between disturbing someone's rest and being punished by God?
Mo Huai spat a mouthful of blood and vowed to avenge this evil!
"Hurry up, stop playing tricks!"
Tu Ye couldn't stand being urged.
Tu Ying on the side laughed strangely a few times, and her black pupils hid an unknown excitement, which disappeared in a flash.
Tu Ying is the sixth son of the Fox King. Unlike his other brothers, he is not born with strange hair and eyes. His eyes are pure black amber. When he puts away his fox ears and tail, he looks somewhat like a human.
Mo Huai was suspicious in his heart, but now was not the time to think too much.
"The sky is dark and the earth is gloomy, peeping through the silk to explore."
"Mysterious pupils open!"
A faint purple light emanated from Mo Huai's eyes.
He concentrated his attention on the scene behind the bronze door.
"roar--"
A deafening dragon roar suddenly sounded in my mind, and in my sight I saw a white dragon rushing towards me fiercely.
Mo Huai felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and he screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed down.
