Then he remembered that the Jade Emperor's coffin was empty, so he activated his ethereal ability and began to explore the tombs of other immortals and gods.
The tomb complex, protected by the power of countless ancient immortals and gods, is something even he cannot contend with now, and he can only activate his ethereal transformation.
He walked to the nearest tomb, which was inscribed with some mysterious and profound characters from ancient times. Those characters contained some kind of mysterious power. When you stared at them, you felt that they were alive, like little tadpoles wriggling. But if you shifted your gaze slightly, you would find that they were not moving at all.
This was the second time Fang Xiu had seen these ancient characters. The first time he saw them, he guessed that these ancient characters were all evolved from laws and decrees. This is why there are things like talismans in myths and legends. Just by writing characters on them, they can exert all kinds of incredible abilities, because these characters are the embodiment of laws and decrees.
Back then, he was ignorant of laws and couldn't understand ancient scripts at all, but now things are different. He has become a demigod and created his own laws. He can at least understand some of these ancient laws, if not all of them.
The tombstone reads: Tomb of Venus.
Venus?
Fang Xiu immediately recalled the relevant myths. Legend has it that Venus was the Jade Emperor's special envoy, responsible for conveying various orders. He was also known as the Western Venus Star Lord, and together with the Eastern Jupiter Star Lord, the Southern Mars Star Lord, the Northern Mercury Star Lord, and the Central Earth Star Lord, they were collectively known as the Five Star Lords, or simply Venus Star Lord, also called Venus.
While Venus may not be considered one of the top immortals and gods in ancient times, he was more famous than some of them, thanks to his role as the Jade Emperor's special envoy, who frequently issued decrees and conveyed orders on behalf of the Jade Emperor.
There were many such figures in ancient dynasties. Although they were not high-ranking officials, they were the emperor's confidants, and even high-ranking officials had to give them face.
After exhausting his memories of the legends about Venus, Fang Xiu then plunged headlong into Venus's tomb.
The tomb was empty and bright, unlike a gloomy grave. Instead, it resembled a small celestial palace. Although it was not even one percent the size of the Jade Emperor's tomb, it was still quite spacious. There were no burial objects, only a gold-lacquered coffin with tiny gold stars shimmering on it.
He stepped out and entered Venus's coffin, only to find it completely empty! Just like the Jade Emperor's coffin, it was empty.
This discovery made Fang Xiu frown slightly. Could it be that... all the tombs of immortals and gods are empty?
To verify his conjecture, he left the tomb of Venus and entered another tomb—the tomb of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun.
The name of the tomb's owner was very obscure. If Fang Xiu hadn't already become a demigod and retrieved all his forgotten memories, he really wouldn't have known whose tomb it was.
Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun is also the famous Erlang Shen from the mythological legend of Guanjiangkou!
Although Erlang Shen did not hold a position in Heaven, he was very famous, mainly because of his great strength. He once fought the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, for three hundred rounds without a clear winner. In addition, he had many other illustrious achievements.
Upon entering, just as he had expected, Erlang Shen's tomb was also empty.
He quickened his pace, examining one immortal tomb after another, and without exception, all the immortal tombs were empty!
It seems that the immortals and gods did not die in the Battle of Kunlun Mountain. They died after the final battle in the underworld. But the question is, if the immortals and gods did not die at that time, why did they build tombs?
Could it be... that there's more to the tomb than meets the eye?
Fang Xiu arrived at the tomb of the Jade Emperor.
Once inside, unlike any other tombs of immortals and gods, one is greeted by a vast and boundless starry sky, as if stepping into the universe.
Brilliant stars are scattered throughout the Milky Way, each a different color, moving in accordance with the laws of the celestial sphere, with an unimaginable force of annihilation flowing within them.
At the very center of all the stars, a golden imperial star, resembling the sun, radiates an eternal and inextinguishable light.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen such a scene, but seeing it again was even more astonishing.
Back then, Fang Xiu didn't understand the laws and regulations and was just an outsider watching the spectacle. Now, upon closer inspection, this is clearly the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the Nine Provinces.
The Zhou Tian Star Array protects the entire Nine Provinces, but here it is used to guard the tomb of the Jade Emperor, which shows the power of the Jade Emperor.
Of course, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array here is no match for that of the Nine Provinces. The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the Nine Provinces is divided into Yin and Yang sides. The Yang side has hundreds of millions of living beings plus nine immortals and gods, while the Yin side relies on the underworld that buries countless gods and demons.
He walked straight into the Imperial Star and saw the golden coffin again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Xiu plunged into the golden coffin, lying there quietly like a corpse.
He closed his eyes and pondered deeply.
There's no reason for ancient immortals and gods to build so many empty tombs, so there must be some mystery here.
The True Self Law was activated, and mysterious and profound fluctuations covered the golden coffin. This time, he saw something that was invisible to the naked eye.
The Way of Time!
The golden coffin contained the Dao of Time, an obscure and ethereal Dao that flowed silently across it. Its obscurity was so profound that even Fang Xiu, who controlled the power of time, could not comprehend it.
This surprised him somewhat. The Way of Time is the most difficult path in the world. He thought he was at the forefront of the Way of Time, but he never expected that there was someone in ancient times who was even more skilled in the Way of Time than him.
He pondered it carefully, and although he couldn't fully understand it, he memorized it all to reflect upon later.
Besides the Way of Time, he also sensed another Great Way from the golden coffin, a Way he was very familiar with... it was Nuwa!
The profound secrets of Nuwa's creation!
Creation that transcends the way of life!
Did Nuwa participate in the construction of this tomb complex?
What exactly happened in ancient times?
Fang Xiu couldn't figure it out, but he was certain that this group of tombs must hold a great secret.
Just as he was about to leave the golden coffin, an accident occurred.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound emanated from his body.
The source of that voice was none other than Bei Xuan's Reincarnation Godhead!
"What's going on? The golden coffin actually resonated with the Reincarnation Godhead? Could it be... that the Path of Reincarnation is hidden within the golden coffin?"
Time, creation, reincarnation...."
When these three forces appeared together, even if Fang Xiu didn't know what happened in ancient times, he understood the purpose of the ancient immortals and gods: resurrection!
They want to be resurrected!
This is the place they prepared for their resurrection!
