Ancient Murals! (4K)

Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the High Antiquity Grand Formation was not reacting.

The High Antiquity Grand Formation was set up by the Azure Emperor, and the Human Emperor Cauldron was the Azure Emperor's Law Treasure. There was no reason for the grand formation to Offensive Law Treasure.

"Daoist Tuquan, you come in too."

"I?"

The Daoist Tuquan was stunned.

Just because Lu Changsheng could enter the High Antiquity Grand Formation unharmed doesn't mean that the Daoist Tuquan could too.

"I assure you you'll be alright."

Lu Changsheng realized that the High Antiquity Grand Formation had identified him as one of their own, so it stopped operating, allowing the others to enter.

After a moment's hesitation, the Daoist Tuquan decided to trust Lu Changsheng and extended his paw to test him.

The High Antiquity Grand Formation remained unresponsive, and the Seven-Colored Heavenly Thunder also failed to move.

Now, the Daoist Tuquan could finally enter the great formation with peace of mind.

Yuexi and the Eldest Princess exchanged a glance before entering the great formation.

Although we don't know what happened yet, seeing the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum in its True Body is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"It's unbelievable! The great formation set up by the Azure Emperor has failed. How did Daoist Lu manage to do that?"

Zuo Jianqing was also able to enter, but he was still completely baffled.

Countless powerful figures have tried to enter the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum to explore its secrets, only to perish within the High Antiquity Grand Formation. Yet, Lu Changsheng was able to stop the formation from functioning effortlessly.

Lu Changsheng shook his head; the matter of the Human Emperor Cauldron should not be known to outsiders.

They arrived at the foot of the Stone Stele at the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.

The Stone Stele is ninety-nine zhang tall, and on it are two large characters written in vermilion Cinnabar in a vigorous and elegant style, "Suppress Evil".

The vigorous and powerful characters embody Supreme Great Dao.

Lu Changsheng, Yuexi, the Eldest Princess, Zuo Jianqing, Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and others were all deeply involved.

Mo Huazhi, who was proficient in calligraphy, was completely captivated and memorized the scene before her.

She benefited greatly from just understanding the two characters on the Stone Stele.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng finally came to his senses. "This Stone Stele has endured countless vicissitudes, yet the inscription remains immortal, the Great Dao remains unbroken. The Azure Emperor truly shakes the ages."

The two characters "Suppress Evil" (Zhen Xie) on the Stone Stele are almost identical to the handwriting on the Azure Emperor's Manuscript, clearly indicating that they are the Azure Emperor's own handwriting.

"My master is still far from being as good as him."

Yuexi's master is currently the Third Sword Maiden of the Profound Maiden Palace, but she still cannot be compared with Primordial Human Race Emperor like the Azure Emperor.

The inscription on the Stone Stele offers a glimpse into the whole picture.

The Eldest Princess pointed to the cave behind the Stone Stele: "Going in from here should lead to the cenotaph of the Azure Emperor, but I don't know if there's any danger left."

The group looked at each other, but ultimately decided to go in.

Since we've come all this way, there's no reason for us to leave empty-handed.

Outside the great formation, after Lu Changsheng and the others entered the cave, the Third Prince and the White-Haired Elder finally appeared.

"Master, they actually passed through the great formation! What should we do?"

The Third Prince discovered that things had exceeded his expectations; Lu Changsheng and his group had actually managed to enter the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum without incident.

The White-Haired Elder summoned a Flying Sword to test the strength of the formation.

The High Antiquity Grand Formation still showed no reaction.

"If we go in and obtain the Azure Emperor's treasure, our strength will increase greatly. That girl Mo will be completely at your mercy then!"

The White-Haired Elder's Divine Fire. He never expected that standing up for his Disciple and following Lu Changsheng's group to the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum would yield such a reward.

Without the Human Emperor Cauldron, the White-Haired Elder, with his cultivation level, would probably never have been able to enter the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum, even until his death.

Who is the Azure Emperor? He is Primordial Human Race Emperor!

Now the opportunity to obtain the Azure Emperor's treasure is right in front of us; in order to Changsheng Never Dies, we must seize it.

The White-Haired Elder took out a Dharma Banner to conceal his and the Third Prince's auras. The master and disciple passed through the High Antiquity Grand Formation and continued to follow Lu Changsheng and his group.

"Um?"

As the White-Haired Elder and the Third Prince approached, Lu Changsheng frowned.

"That kid's really quick-witted; it seems he's about to figure something out."

The White-Haired Elder was startled and quickly put some distance between himself and the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

Yuexi and the Eldest Princess noticed that Lu Changsheng had stopped, so they asked him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I was just overthinking it."

Lu Changsheng answered like this, but a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

He had already realized that someone was following him.

It is still unknown who this person is.

At this point, there was no turning back; they could only take it one step at a time and see what happens.

Both Ancestral Dragon Blood Pills had already been used up in the battle against Heavenly Martial Devil Lord. His trump cards for survival still included the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, as well as the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.

Both Yuexi and the Eldest Princess are geniuses at the God King Realm. One is the Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy, and the other possesses a portion of the Supreme Emperor Body Bloodline. They are a formidable force.

Lu Changsheng's Disciple can also play a role.

"Master, there are murals here."

A flame appeared in Lin Qingzhi's palm, illuminating the cave passage and drawing his attention to the murals on the stone walls.

"This is a scene from the High Antiquity war between Human Race and Demon Race."

Yuexi carefully examined the murals and saw many tiny figures on the stone wall, wielding various Law Treasure and fighting against the enormous Demon Race.

The murals stretched deep into the ground; though simple, the group could still feel the ferocity of the High Antiquity War depicted in them.

"Eight Desolate Fire Dragons?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes widened.

In the mural, he saw a group of tiny figures riding Flying Swords, besieging a ferocious dragon with several flames surrounding it.

Even with only simple lines, Lu Changsheng recognized it as the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon he had dealt with before!

After arriving in the Immortal Realm and joining the Taihua Sacred Ground, Lu Changsheng learned that the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, along with the Torch Dragon and the World-Destroying Black Dragon, were all High Antiquity Dragon Kings who served the Dragon Emperor.

Later, Torch Dragon was sealed by the Taiyin Goddess in Mount Zhong of the Netherworld Sea, and the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was also exiled to the Void, only able to summon World Projection of the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon through some Law Treasure.

According to the mural, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon once fought a great war with the Human Race. After being defeated, for some reason, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was banished to the Three Realms.

"Master, look! The Daoist Tuquan is on the mural!"

Lu Qinglian shouted and yelled.

Daoist Tuquan trotted over excitedly, and saw that the mural in front of Lu Qinglian depicted a Three-Eyed Divine Hound similar to Daoist Tuquan. This Three-Eyed Divine Hound opened its blood-red maw and devoured the stars in the Void. Some Human Race powerhouses were also swallowed by the Three-Eyed Divine Hound.

"Wow, my ancestors were so amazing?"

The Daoist Tuquan stood tall and proud; its ancestors could Devour Heaven and Earth!

Lu Qinglian exclaimed excitedly, "Daoist Tuquan, show me how you can swallow a star too!"

"..."

Daoist Tuquan rolled his eyes.

It's just a dog cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Realm, how could it devour the starry sky?

Even a single star could burst it apart.

Lu Changsheng and his group continued forward. The murals depicted some major scenes from the High Antiquity War, including the scene of the Taihua Goddess holding an umbrella and fighting alone against the World-Destroying Black Dragon, and the scene of Torch Dragon trying to drive the seawater of the Netherworld Sea to flood the Northern Immortal Realm, but being sealed by the Taiyin Goddess.

"This person looks so much like the Master."

Lu Changsheng saw an inconspicuous little figure on the mural, who was being attacked by several Dragon Kings, including the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, the Torch Dragon, and the World-Destroying Black Dragon.

Although the figure was drawn simply, Lu Changsheng could tell that the little figure on the mural should be the current Master.

The fact that the Master survived being besieged by several Dragon Kings demonstrates Master strength.

It is said that the Master has an exceptional ability to protect himself, and almost no one can kill him.

This is also why Master was able to survive from Remote Antiquity.

The Azure Emperor, the Heavenly Sect Sect Master, the Taihua Goddess, the Taiyin Goddess, the Devil Master... countless experts have perished, yet Master has survived. Isn't this the realm that Lu Changsheng has been pursuing?

Survival is the only priority.

"Heavenly Sect."

Lu Changsheng saw familiar figures in the mural again.

On the mural, a group of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe riding Flying Swords are besieging the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects.

The fact that Heavenly Sect appears in the murals of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum is enough to demonstrate Heavenly Sect's importance.

There are several murals related to the Heavenly Sect.

This is a Sects that highly reveres the Sword Dao, and countless Great Demons have fallen under their swords.

The Eldest Princess stroked one of the murals, her expression reverent. "This is our ancestor..."

Lu Changsheng, Yuexi, and the others looked over curiously and saw a couple who looked like immortals, each holding an Immortal Sword in their left and right hands, while a Kui Phoenix as tall as the sky was splattering blood across the sky.

Behind the couple were two blurry figures.

Those two blurry figures, seemingly just background figures, appeared to Lu Changsheng as the main characters.

This couple were the ancestors of the Eldest Princess and the founders of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty.

The two blurry figures were likely two men.

Two men watched from behind as the ancestor of the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty slew Kui Phoenix.

Who are these two?

Lu Changsheng looked at the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Princess shook her head. "I don't know either."

"Could it be that they..." Yuexi from the Profound Maiden Palace suddenly realized something, "Sister Yusheng, your ancestor was the Heavenly Emperor's brother, could it be that the man behind your ancestor was the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Eldest Princess's eyes lit up. "That's possible. According to the family genealogy, the Heavenly Emperor was the leader of one of the Remote Antiquity Human Race Tribe, and our ancestor was his younger brother. Under the Heavenly Emperor's guidance, he became Great Expert. Could this mural depict the scene of the Heavenly Emperor's guidance?"

"Then who is this person who sits on equal footing with the Heavenly Emperor?"

Lu Changsheng pointed to another figure.

Yuexi's expression turned slightly grave. "It's very likely the Devil Master. It's said that although the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Master are not related by blood, they have fought side by side many times and are very close brothers. However, after the great war between the Human Race and Demon Races, the two parted ways. In addition, that great war led to the fall of many Remote Antiquity powerhouses such as the Azure Emperor and the White Emperor. No one could mediate the conflict between the two, which led to the outbreak of the Second High Antiquity War..."

"I see."

At this point, Lu Changsheng realized that the two blurry figures on the mural were most likely the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Master.

Former brothers turned against each other, drawing their swords against one another, ultimately causing upheaval in the Three Realms, a truly lamentable situation.

"And this mural depicts the scene of Three Thousand Gufo, united by the Cangsheng Yuan, creating Three Thousand Lands of Ultimate Bliss of Ultimate Bliss; it is truly magnificent."

Zuo Jianqing stood beneath a huge mural, utterly awestruck.

This mural depicts Three Thousand Gufo.

The Three Thousand Gufo, by combining the wishes of all living beings, forcibly created the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Void. This extraordinary feat left Lu Changsheng and his group utterly shocked.

Creating a world is infinitely more difficult than destroying the world.

Even the Three Thousand Gufo needed the power of the Cangsheng Yuan to create the Land of Ultimate Bliss, which lies between the Three Realms and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

"These murals, I wonder if they were painted during the Azure Emperor's lifetime or by later generations? I estimate they were mostly painted during the construction of his tomb."

The Eldest Princess muttered to herself, already having found the answer in her heart.

The Azure Emperor probably wasn't so leisurely as to paint a mural ten thousand meters long.

Lu Changsheng and the others continued walking inside, but the further they went, the more unfamiliar the murals became.

The murals in front featured figures that Lu Changsheng was somewhat familiar with, such as the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Taihua Goddess, the Taiyin Goddess, the Master, and the Heavenly Emperor. They depicted a great war between the Human Race and Heavenly Emperor Demon Races. The murals in the back occasionally showed the Immortal Realm, as well as the Void and even the Netherworld Realm. The murals were bizarre and the events they depicted were completely incomprehensible to Lu Changsheng and his companions.

"This was probably before the great war between Human Race and Demon Race, in an even more ancient period, perhaps at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth."

Lu Changsheng guessed that the content of the second half of the mural should be events that the Azure Emperor participated in or witnessed in the first half of his life, but the events of that period are beyond the comprehension of later generations.

The last two murals attracted everyone's attention because they could roughly understand what they were depicting.

The first mural depicts five blurry figures besieging a cloud of black mist.

The second mural depicts a Stone Stele inscribed with the words "Suppress Evil," which suppresses the black mist.

"The five Primordial Human Race Emperors joined forces to slay a formidable enemy that was extremely difficult for them to handle. Before his death, the Azure Emperor used Stone Stele and his own body to suppress the Evil Spirit that had arisen from the enemy's death."

Lu Changsheng recognized that the two murals depicted the origin of the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum.

At the end of the murals lies a massive palace hidden within the mountain.

The sound of a group of people's footsteps echoed inside the mountain.

The Eldest Princess took out a luminous pearl, illuminating the entire mountain palace. The palace was vast, with magnificent halls, carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers—everything one could imagine. Time seemed to stand still here.

In the very center of the palace, a high platform stands, upon which sits a stone coffin, and in front of the coffin stands a Stone Stele.

"Incredible! This palace, seemingly ordinary, is actually meticulously planned in the placement of every building. All the buildings are cast from special materials, forming a grand array that suppresses that stone coffin."

Yuexi was, after all, the number one genius of the Profound Maiden Palace. She came to mid-air, looked down at the entire palace, and saw that the palace was a large formation.

"A formation within a formation; the Azure Emperor's methods are truly unfathomable."

The Eldest Princess longed for the Azure Emperor even more.

"Since the Azure Emperor has set up an array to suppress the stone coffin, then the one inside the coffin is not the Azure Emperor. Let's go see what's written on the Stone Stele."

With a thought, Lu Changsheng drew his Long Sword and flew towards the high platform.

"The Azure Emperor's treasure..."

Behind Lu Changsheng and the others, the White-Haired Elder and the Third Prince also saw the magnificent palace, their eyes filled with fervor.

They might be only one step away from the Azure Emperor's treasure.
