Entering the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum! (4K)
"Greetings, Your Eldest Princess."
At the entrance to the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, a middle-aged man dressed as a general, leading a group of soldiers, paid their respects to the arriving Eldest Princess.
"They are from our Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, responsible for guarding the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum year-round. The Azure Emperor was Primordial Human Race Emperor who made enormous contributions to Human Race. Although no one dares to trespass on the great formation set up by the Azure Emperor, there are exceptions. Hundreds of Ten Thousand Years Ago, someone broke into the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, causing an earthquake within a hundred thousand miles, collapsing countless cities and houses, and resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths and injuries. After that, to prevent the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum from being disturbed again, Father Emperor sent General Zuo to guard the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum so that Father Emperor could be notified immediately."
"General Zuo, this is Lu Changsheng, the Taihua Saint."
"So it's Daoist Lu. I am Zuo Jianqing. Seeing is believing. Daoist Lu indeed as wise and powerful as the rumors say, and has an extraordinary appearance."
Zuo Jianqing greatly admired Lu Changsheng.
After all, Lu Changsheng's victory over the Heavenly Emperor's Son at the Heavenly Court Assembly had spread Immortal Realm, Zuo Jianqing, upon hearing this, was filled with longing.
Who is the Heavenly Emperor?
The strongest being in the Immortal Realm! Possessing the complete Supreme Emperor Body!
Imperial Son Ku possessed the same Special Physique as the Heavenly Emperor and was known as the number one genius in the Heavenly Court. However, he was defeated by people from the Lower Realm, and Lu Changsheng gave the cultivators in the Lower Realm a great deal of face.
Lu Changsheng observed the general named Zuo Jianqing.
Zuo Jianqing was sent by the Immortal Dragon Emperor to guard the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum. He was quite powerful, actually an Eighth-Grade God King.
The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum is rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and contains many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Therefore, Zuo Renqing was sent here to guard the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, which is not considered an exile.
Zuo Jianqing brought his Household Troops to watch over the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, including many experts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal and Immortal Emperor Realms.
Zuo Jianqing asked, "May I ask what brings Your Highness and Daoist Lu to the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum?"
"I want to go into the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum to pay homage to the Great Emperor of the Human Race."
"You can't go in there. The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum has High Antiquity Grand Formation that even Great Expert perish in. Within the Three Realms, you can count the number of people who can enter the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum on one hand."
Zuo Jianqing was startled when he heard Lu Changsheng's purpose for coming.
The grand formation set up by the Azure Emperor draws its energy from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. To rashly enter such a formation is tantamount to suicide.
"I have ways to protect myself. If things really don't work out, I'll back down."
Lu Changsheng believed that with the Human Emperor Cauldron within him, he should be able to enter the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum smoothly.
"Then please follow me."
Zuo Jianqing decided to lead Lu Changsheng and his group into the depths of the outer perimeter of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
The group flew on their swords towards the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
Although the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum Emperor is said to be the tomb of the Azure Emperor, in a broader sense, the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum refers to this endless mountain range and the vast forests.
There are countless Demon Beasts in this place, and Lu Changsheng detected more than a dozen Great Demon auras at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Zuo Jianqing recounted his achievements over the years. "I have guarded the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum for hundreds of thousands of years and have also studied the ancient texts related to the Azure Emperor. This mountain range was originally a desolate wilderness. Legend has it that before the Azure Emperor perished, he dissolved his physical body and merged with the earth, which made this place a Spirit Vein, rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Even many Demon Race migrated here to cultivate."
Yuexi exclaimed, "The Azure Emperor is truly an extraordinary person. Not only did he lead Human Race to prosperity alongside other Human Race Great Emperors when Human Race was weak, but after his fall, he also abandoned his physical body for cultivation and merged back into the world."
Lu Changsheng was also secretly amazed.
Several Primordial Human Race Emperors were truly selfless. After their deaths, they took nothing with them, and there are few records about them. However, the various techniques and Divine Ability Cultivation Method they created have been passed down to later generations.
The Eldest Princess interjected, "I've heard my father say that this place was originally barren because it was once a Remote Antiquity Battlefield."
"Remote Antiquity Battlefield?"
Lu Changsheng, Yuexi, Zuo Renqing, Lin Qingzhi, and others became interested. Was the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum originally Remote Antiquity Battlefield?
The Eldest Princess nodded. "Yes. It is said that several Primordial Emperors once joined forces to kill a very troublesome being here, but this place has since become an ominous place. For hundreds of millions of miles around, not a blade of grass grows, not a drop of water falls, and Evil Spirits haunt it. Before the Azure Emperor perished, he chose to bury himself here, one of his purposes being to suppress the Evil Spirits."
"So there's such a story behind it..."
Everyone admired the Azure Emperor even more.
During his lifetime, the Azure Emperor slew powerful enemies who posed a threat to the Human Race. After his death, he was tasked with suppressing the Evil Spirits of those enemies.
"Is there any record of what beings the Primordial Emperors slew here? Demon Gods?"
Lu Changsheng was curious about the Azure Emperor's enemies.
Just how powerful was this being that could be killed by several Primordial Human Race Emperors working together, and even suppressed after the death of the Azure Emperor?
In the First High Antiquity War, the Primordial Human Race Emperor led the weak Human Race to rise up and resist the Demon Race.
The strongest among the Demon Race is none other than the Demon God.
At that time, the strongest sword cultivator Sects in the Lower Realm, "Heavenly Sect," was wiped out by the Demon God and his Demon Kings.
The Demon God was definitely a formidable enemy of the Primordial Human Race Emperors.
That's why Lu Changsheng asked that question.
The Eldest Princess shook her head. "Father said it's not Demon God, and as for what kind of being it is, he doesn't know either."
That's strange.
As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the only being capable of getting several Primordial Emperors to join forces was the strongest Demon God of the Demon Race at that time.
Could it be that there were other forces besides Human Race and Demon Race at that time?
However, the events of Remote Antiquity are too distant and lack records, and most of the people from that era are no longer alive.
The oldest figure in the Taihua Sacred Ground, and the younger sister of the Taihua Sword Maiden, was just a snotty-nosed little girl following the Taihua Sword Maiden during the Second High Antiquity War.
The current Immortal Dragon Emperor has not yet experienced the two High Antiquity Wars.
Of those who survived from Remote Antiquity, only a handful could be counted on Master; Confucius was one of them.
"I wonder if the Master is aware of this matter?"
Lu Changsheng looked at Mo Huazhi. Mo Huazhi had been studying under Master for hundreds of thousands of years, and perhaps she had heard a lot about Remote Antiquity times from the Master.
Mo Huazhi shook her head. "The Azure Emperor was Great Expert at the very beginning of Human Race's existence, even more ancient than the Master. Back then, the Master was still a weak Xiuzhenzhe, needing to avoid becoming food for Great Demons. There are some even more ancient things that the Master didn't know."
"So..."
It seems that Remote Antiquity were divided into periods. During the period when the Human Race was still weak, probably few people know the details of what exactly happened.
During their conversation, the group flew on their swords and arrived deep within the outer perimeter of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
Take another step forward, and you're enveloped in mist.
"We still need to pass through this mist to reach the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum. It seems close, but in reality, it's an Independent Space with a powerful Barrier." The Eldest Princess took out a map. "Without this map to guide us, venturing into the mist might lead us astray into another dimension and result in our demise. This mist is actually the First Stage barrier to the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum."
With the Eldest Princess's map, Lu Changsheng and his group could enter the mist without any worries.
After Lu Changsheng and his group disappeared into the mist, the Third Prince and the White-Haired Elder appeared on the outer edge of the mist.
"Master, they've gone inside. Should we follow them in?"
"Let's follow them and see what they're up to."
The White-Haired Elder was curious about the purpose of Lu Changsheng and his group entering the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum contains High Antiquity Grand Formation. Even he would Body and Spirit Annihilation if he entered High Antiquity Grand Formation. How could Lu Changsheng, a Ninth-Grade God King, dare to do so?
He decided to follow Lu Changsheng to find out what was going on.
The misty mountains and forests are filled with Space-Time Turbulence; a slight misstep could lead to an unfamiliar and dangerous space.
The Daoist Tuquan transformed back into a Big Yellow Dog and nestled on Shen Xiaoyao's shoulder. "It seems the Azure Emperor doesn't want anyone to disturb his rest."
I don't think so.
Why did Master say that?
"If what Your Imperial Princess says is true, then the Azure Emperor chose this place as his tomb to suppress Evil Spirits, most likely to prevent outsiders from entering and disrupting his plans, rather than simply to avoid disturbing his rest. After all, once one dies, there is no longer any question of rest."
That makes sense.
Both Yuexi and the Eldest Princess agreed with Lu Changsheng's conjecture.
Even after the death of the Azure Emperor, he had to suppress Evil Spirits. If his descendants messed up his plans, he would be so angry that he would come back to life.
Thinking about it this way, it's very likely that the reason the Azure Emperor left behind High Antiquity Grand Formation and misty mountains to protect his tomb after his death was to prevent his descendants from disrupting the feng shui and affecting the effectiveness of suppressing Evil Spirits.
"I hope my intrusion will not disrupt the Azure Emperor's plans."
Lu Changsheng came to the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum under the guidance of the Master, hoping it would not affect the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum's effect of suppressing Evil Spirits.
Lu Changsheng reconsidered.
The Azure Emperor's formidable enemy has already been slain by several Primordial Human Race Emperors working together, and the Evil Spirit has been suppressed by the Azure Emperor for hundreds of millions of years. It should have been completely annihilated, otherwise this place would not have become Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
This put Lu Changsheng at ease.
Led by the Eldest Princess, the group successfully avoided the Space-Time Turbulence in the mist and approached the True Body the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum is a majestic mountain peak, 9,999 feet high, standing amidst the misty forests. The trees are lush, the springs flow, and the Immortal Qi is filled with ethereal mist, making it seem like a fairyland. If it weren't for the Stone Stele at the foot of the mountain, one would not know that it is a mausoleum.
The Eldest Princess stopped, her gaze fixed on the towering mountain peak as if looking up at a deity. "That mountain is the tomb of the Azure Emperor. Although the Azure Emperor's body has returned to the world, it is said that there are still many treasures left behind by the Azure Emperor in the tomb, such as the Law Treasure he used back then."
"What are we waiting for? Let's hurry inside, grab the treasure, woof woof!"
Upon hearing that there was treasure, the Daoist Tuquan jumped off Shen Xiaoyao's shoulder, wagged its tail, and rushed towards the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Eldest Princess grabbed the Big Yellow Dog and lifted it up. "Go inside if you want to die."
The Daoist Tuquan, Immortal Emperor Realm, God King Realm Eldest Princess, and utterly powerless to resist, muttering, "Why not?"
Lu Changsheng used the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles hidden in his sleeve to shoot a silver needle towards the direction of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Azure Emperor's Mausoleum before everyone's eyes began to distort.
Rumble!!
The once sunny and breezy scene was suddenly overcast, and a barrage of divine lightning struck the silver needle!
The Seven-Colored Divine Thunder illuminated the heavens and the earth, containing terrifying energy that was devastating and world -World-Destroying!
The silver needles, forged from Ice-Soul Cold Iron, turned to ashes in less than a breath under the bombardment of the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder!
The Daoist Tuquan was dumbfounded, his dog eyes wide open.
The Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles was Fourth-Grade Dao Artifact, made of extremely hard Ice-Soul Cold Iron, capable of breaking through the defenses of most God King Realm powerhouse. However, even the silver needles forged from Ice-Soul Cold Iron were instantly reduced to ashes by the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder.
If the Eldest Princess hadn't stopped him in time, the Daoist Tuquan would probably have become a roasted dog.
"We appear to be less than ten miles from the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, but in reality, there is a space separating us. This space is likely High Antiquity Grand Formation set up by the Azure Emperor; once we enter, we will be reduced to ashes."
Lu Changsheng was horrified upon witnessing the terrifying High Antiquity Grand Formation of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.
Even if Lu Changsheng cultivates the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art" and has the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda protecting him, he probably still wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder.
The power of the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder has surpassed that of the Great Dao Golden Thunder; it can destroy the heavens and the earth.
I wonder if the High Antiquity Han Clan's defensive treasure, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, can withstand the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder.
Lu Changsheng probably has a tough time.
This is High Antiquity Grand Formation set up by the Azure Emperor, said to be capable of even killing Great Expert. The Mountains and Rivers Diagram should not be able to hold out for long.
"Are you really going to try? I advise you to give up, because... I don't want you to die."
The Eldest Princess knew that Lu Changsheng planned to risk entering the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, and unable to bear Lu Changsheng die, she still intended to dissuade Lu Changsheng.
"I'm fairly confident. If all else fails, we'll sacrifice this one Law Treasure."
Lu Changsheng took out the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.
Based on his judgment, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram certainly couldn't withstand the continuous attacks of the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder, but it should be able to hold out for a breath.
The situation was dire; he would rather sacrifice the Mountains and Rivers Diagram and voluntarily withdraw.
As for Dantai Meng in the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, that's up to Creation.
While Dantai Meng was cultivating within the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, she suddenly shivered. Why did she have a bad feeling?
"Using this item as a price can indeed help you escape, but the price is far too high."
Yuexi guessed Lu Changsheng's intention: in a moment of crisis, sacrificing the precious treasure, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, to escape was theoretically feasible, but the cost was too high.
Lu Changsheng has a system that allows him to acquire Law Treasures, and he also possesses the Azure Emperor's Law Treasure, the Human Emperor Cauldron, within his body. Therefore, even if he were to sacrifice the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, Lu Changsheng wouldn't feel it would be a great loss.
Furthermore, it is not always necessary to use Mountains and Rivers Diagram.
Lu Changsheng was gambling that as long as he possessed the Human Emperor Cauldron, he should be safe and sound.
Amidst the tense gazes of everyone, Lu Changsheng stepped one foot into the range of the High Antiquity Grand Formation.
Dark clouds are gathering, and it looks like Seven-Colored Divine Thunder is about to strike.
"Not good!"
The Eldest Princess, Yuexi, Zuo Jianqing, Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and others were all sweating bullets for Lu Changsheng.
The power of the Seven-Colored Divine Thunder was witnessed by everyone just now.
Lu Changsheng was covered in sweat, ready to unleash the Mountains and Rivers Diagram at any moment, sacrificing the pawn to save the king.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng's body glowed with a blue light, and the dark clouds above his head quickly dissipated, revealing a clear and cloudless sky.
The High Antiquity Grand Formation remained unresponsive.
"How so?"
Zuo Jianqing, who was guarding the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, was stunned. He had never seen anything like it before; the High Antiquity Grand Formation had actually failed.
