Chapter 577 The Tomb of the Qiongqi Clan

The invisibility talisman that the third senior sister took out was of extremely high grade and had no level restriction for the user. Lu Yang burned the talisman, his body became invisible, and he shuttled through the Qiongqi branch tribe as if no one was around.

It is said to be a branch tribe, but it is equivalent to the Qiongqi tribe. These branch tribes are also worshipped by the demon tribe in the outside world. Just after walking for such a distance, Lu Yang encountered a patrol team.

The captain of the patrol team was actually a foundation-building cultivator, and all of his team members were powerful beings at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training.

This is still a team leader. The squadron leader is probably either a Jindan ancestor or a half-step Jindan ancestor.

"The chief of this tribe is at the initial stage of fusion, which is enough for him to have a seat in the group of elders of the Qiongqi tribe. He was injured in his early years and cannot act rashly." The third senior sister reminded that this tribe has the strength of a first-class sect. Although it is the weakest one, it still cannot be taken lightly.

The two of them nodded at the same time, telling the third senior sister not to worry. Although the two brothers had no other advantages, being cautious and careful in doing things was definitely one of them.

Lu Yang also saw a young mixed-blood Qiongqi practicing martial arts, jumping around in the small yard, its hair wet with sweat, but it still did not stop.

"I must evolve my bloodline into a pure-blooded Qiongqi to bring honor to my family!"

The young half-blood Qiongqi's eyes were sparkling and full of hope.

The demon race has a unique method of cultivation that can purify their blood and realize the possibility of making the leap from a carp to a dragon, but only very few can achieve this.

"The method of bloodline evolution has been passed down to this day." The Immortal Fairy has been dealing with monsters for a long time, and recognized the origin of the actions of the young half-blood Qiongqi at a glance. It was a set of bloodline evolution methods compiled by the Qilin Fairy.

There were methods of bloodline evolution before Qilin Immortal, but they were too inefficient.

"Fairy, can he evolve into a pure-blooded Qiongqi?"

"This little tiger has a mixed bloodline. His ancestors are from six or seven different kinds of monsters. His talent is considered a genius in a branch tribe. If he practices like this, he can indeed be upgraded to pure blood, but that's all. When he reaches pure blood and enters the Qiongqi tribe, he will find that there are a lot of geniuses like him. He can't stand out in the Qiongqi tribe."

"So miserable?"

"It's not miserable, this is reality. The talent gap is there. If this little tiger were in Daxia, he wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the finals and wouldn't be able to make it."

"The Qiongqi tribe has many geniuses like him, and they work just as hard as he does. These geniuses previously enjoyed better resources than he did. How did he succeed?"

"To become the strongest, talent and resources are both indispensable. Your talent is strong enough, right? Let alone placing you in a second or third tier sect, even if you were placed in a first tier sect, would they be able to fully utilize your talent? No way."

Lu Yang nodded. He was not bragging. His talent could definitely not be fully utilized in a first-class sect. Even in the Five Elements Sect, it might not be fully utilized.

“So, hard work does lead to success, but no matter how hard you work, you can never be better than someone who works just as hard as you and is more talented than you.”

"Fairy, you told me so much, are you trying to encourage me to practice hard?"

"No, what I mean is that Yun girl is talented, willing to endure hardships, and has practiced for hundreds of years longer than you. You probably can't catch up with her. When our immortal lineage fights her, I will be the main force and you will assist."

Lu Yang: “…”

The three of them safely passed through the side tribe and arrived at the Qiongqi tribe. Five Qiongqi were organized into a team, patrolling the sky and the ground. Every ten minutes, another team would come over.

"It's strange, why are the Qiongqi tribe on such tight alert? Are they going to fight with the Xiaoyue Tianlang tribe?" Third Sister muttered.

"Want to change places?"

"No, it's not targeting us anyway."

"How did you know, Senior Sister?" Meng Jingzhou asked curiously.

"If they are targeting us, it must be that the elders of the Qiongqi tribe are out on patrol. What use are these minions? The security is so strict, probably just to keep up appearances."

“…That makes sense.”

"Every noon, there is a three-breath gap in the clan protection formation. We must take this opportunity to go in." The third senior sister is familiar with the place and has a deep understanding of the Qiongqi clan's formation. I don't know how many times she has come here.

A quarter of an hour later, the third sister gave a look, and the three of them seized the opportunity and successfully entered the Qiongqi tribe.

Qiongqi is accustomed to living in jungles and caves, so hollowed-out tree holes and mountains with hollowed-out interiors can be seen everywhere in the Qiongqi tribe.

When traveling around the tribe, Lu Yang would occasionally come across a few Qiongqi gathering together to communicate. He vaguely heard words like "envoy visiting" and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Is this why the Qiongqi tribe is on high alert? An envoy is coming? What level of envoy is worthy of the Qiongqi tribe making such a big fuss? Lu Yang secretly asked the third sister.

"Emissary? A visit of the same level would not involve a large army. It must be a race that is more powerful than the Qiongqi tribe, a race at the level of dragon and phoenix."

"Third Sister, where are we going?"

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou followed the third senior sister and walked further and further away. They didn't see a single Qiongqi for a long time and it felt eerie.

"The tombs of the Qiongqi tribe, if you want to do archaeology and dig out the secrets hidden in history, you have to go to places like this. Whether it's murals or burial objects, they are all cultural relics worth studying."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Didn't I ask the senior sister to send someone who knows ancient history? I found these strange things in the tomb of the Qiongqi tribe."

"Strange things?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words, you'll know once you see it."

The Qiongqi tribe attached great importance to their own tombs and sent a Qiongqi in the fusion stage as the gravekeeper. Unfortunately, the gravekeeper was of no use to the third senior sister, and she even had enough energy to bring the two little ones in.

When they saw the tomb of the Qiongqi tribe, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were severely shocked.

It was a Qiongqi statue that was huge enough to fill the field of vision. It was carved from three mountains and joined together using great magical power.

The statue of Qiongqi is lifelike, with a tiger with wings on its back and majestic eyes, ready to take off, as if it will fly high at any time.

Just looking at this statue is intimidating.

The tomb of the Qiongqi tribe is right below this huge statue.

“It is said that this is a tomb built in ancient times. This style of tombs was very popular among the demon tribe in ancient times.” The third sister explained, signaling them not to make a fuss.

Suddenly Meng Jingzhou stopped and pointed at the Qiongqi statue above his head, not daring to look up.

"Why do I feel like this statue is alive and has been watching us? Is this an illusion?"

Lu Yang was shocked and horrified. He actually had the same feeling. If two people had this feeling, it would not be an illusion.

The third sister sent a message to the two of them, revealing a secret: "I also feel like I'm being targeted."

"There has always been a legend within the Qiongqi tribe that the thing above our heads is not a statue, but an ancient Qiongqi that has been petrified and sleeping until now, accumulating strength and may revive at any time!"

The two of them became even more nervous, swallowing their saliva, their hearts pounding, as if the ancient Qiongqi above their heads had awakened, opening its bloody mouth towards the three outsiders, saliva dripping...

The Immortal Fairy was well-informed and gave an explanation: "You said you felt someone was watching you. This is a formation. It was developed by Ying Tianxian. He advocated that everyone should set up this formation when building their own tombs. It can scare people and is not bad as a legend."
