Old Man Lin's Guess, Immortal Nether Spirit City

(One more chapter was added to the previous chapter)

"Right."

"Those three great domains are the truly powerful domains."

"There are incomparably powerful Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors presiding over it."

"But I suspect something happened over there, and they've come back!"

The old man spoke with a solemn expression.

"Something's happened? They're here? Who's coming?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang was completely bewildered.

Upon hearing this, the old man continued, "So even a powerful figure like Sect Master Feng doesn't know about what's happening over there."

"That's right, Sect Master Feng, you have been in seclusion for a long time and have just emerged from the world."

"I have some basis for saying this: I can't contact any of my old friends over there."

"The last time this happened was when the Foreign Race invaded our Heavenly Universe Great World."

"However, it was a full-scale invasion at the time, and our Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain and Purple Feather Dao Domain were also affected. Then all the immortals fought together, which led to the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb we have today."

"That's why I'm worried that the Foreign Race might have returned."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang began to ponder.

Even Immortal Emperor Realm risk perishing while crossing the Death Immortal Sea, especially if it's truly an invasion by Foreign Race.

News from that side isn't getting through, and the powerful figures from both regions can't get through either. This is going to be difficult.

"Of course, this is just my guess, and it's not very accurate. I hope Sect Master Feng will forgive my blunder."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have some tea, Sect Master Feng, please."

The old man picked up his teacup and said.

"By the way, Old Man Lin, can the Immortal Tomb be reopened after it's closed?"

Feng Qingyang suddenly thought of this.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to go into the Immortal Tomb yourself and get the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone.

He could also take his newly acquired Fourth Disciple on a trip to gain some experience.

Didn't he say he really wanted to go into the Immortal Tomb together for training?

Now is the perfect time; the Karma force on his body has been removed, and he can enter the Immortal Tomb.

"Hmm? Why is Sect Master Feng asking this?" The old man asked, puzzled for a moment, then replied, "Alright, Sect Master Feng."

"As the Gravekeeper of the Immortal Tomb, I am free to open the Immortal Tomb after the New Era Immortal Tomb Trial begins."

This means that each time the Immortal Tomb opens, the trial period lasts for half a month.

Once the prodigies enter, the entrance to the Immortal Tomb will close, but the Gravekeeper can open and close it at will during this period.

"Okay, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang nodded.

Once Lin Feng has adapted to his Exclusive Cultivation Method, he can begin to act.

Within the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb.

At this moment, after killing Chen Mu and the other two, Shi Hao and his group continued on their way.

The closer you get to the center of the Immortal Tomb, the more sounds of fighting you hear along the way, but the number of geniuses you encounter is significantly less.

Because most of the geniuses who enter know that the closer they get to the center of the Immortal Tomb, the fiercer the competition for immortal treasures and opportunities becomes, most people dare not approach.

Especially the center of the Immortal Tomb, the place where the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone is born, that's considered hellish difficulty.

Every prodigy who competes here is from a Celestial Emperor-level power.

"Senior Brother, we should arrive in a few days, right?"

"We're moving fast enough, but I'm worried that Guardian Stone else might get there first."

Lin Bai spoke with a worried expression.

In this situation, I really want to compose a poem.

Searching for the immortal stone in the Immortal Tomb, only to have it snatched away first, bringing tears to my eyes.

Master raised his staff...

"No, as far as I know, the appearance of the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone also takes time."

"It was probably the sixth day after the Immortal Tomb opened."

"If we calculate the time now, we should be able to get there in time."

Qing Qian spoke up from the side, interrupting Lin Bai's masterpiece that was not yet fully formed in his mind.

"That's excellent."

After Qing Qian explained, Shi Hao and his group were all relieved.

This way, there's no need to worry about someone else getting the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone first.

Time flew by, and the next day arrived.

The news of the killing of Chen Mu, the eldest son of the Chen Clan Immortal Clan, has spread throughout most of the Immortal Tomb.

This news shocked all the geniuses of the Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain.

After all, the Chen Clan Immortal Clan is a top-tier Immortal King Family, second only to the Immortal Emperor level. The killing of their eldest Lineage was naturally a great sensation.

"Have you heard? Chen Mu, the eldest son of the Chen Clan Immortal Clan, has actually been wiped out!"

"I'd heard about it before, and I even know who did it."

According to the geniuses who were present at the time, Chen Mu was killed by a group of geniuses from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect and Qingqian Immortal Fairy.

"What! Qingqian Immortal Fairy? That scoundrel Chen Mu, is he coveting the Fairy's beauty? Where is his corpse? This young master is going to whip it!"

How dare you touch Qingqian Immortal Fairy? Are you out of your mind?

One of the prodigies spoke up in fury.

"No, no, fellow Daoist, please don't get agitated. Besides Chen Mu has already been annihilated into blood mist. Let me explain the reasons in detail."

"Alright, go ahead, wait a minute! Azure Cloud Immortal Sect? If I remember correctly, Chen Mu has a pretty good relationship with this Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, right? How come they..."

One of the prodigies chimed in, "It's simple, a conflict of interest."

"No, that's not it. Their relationship was probably just superficial. It's said that Chen Mu charged towards the group from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect with great momentum and specifically ordered one of their female disciples to stay behind."

"Azure Cloud Sect and his group refused, which is why Chen Mu ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, the assembled geniuses finally understood.

So it all comes down to beauty? Lust truly is a double-edged sword!

But if it's Qingqian Immortal Fairy, what does it matter if my fellow Daoist gets stabbed a few times?

In a desolate ruin.

After a series of indescribable sounds, the curtain fell.

For a long, long time.

A dozen or so prodigies who were already lying on the floor were thrown out of it, and the group from the Joyful Union Immortal Sect also walked out of it.

"Damn it, I've finally recovered my cultivation."

"Those prodigies of the Chen Clan Immortal Clan are quite resilient, especially Chen Mu."

"We didn't get Qingqian Immortal Fairy, and we even lost several trump cards for nothing."

The Divine Child of the Joyous Union Xiao Che, began to complain.

"Haha, I have to say, this Chen Mu is really pitiful."

"I heard that after he escaped from us, he went after those people from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, but he got wiped out. It's really outrageous," said Xiao Qing, the Divine Daughter of the Hehuan Sect, covering her mouth and laughing.

"That's pretty outrageous. I don't know what this kid is after."

The northern half of the Immortal Tomb.

"Divine Child, that Chen Mu has been killed by a group from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."

"Heh, I knew this good-for-nothing was no good. I expected it long ago."

Mo Yu, the divine son of the Purple Feather Immortal Sect, spoke in a detached tone.

He remained unusually calm at this moment, showing no change in expression even after hearing the news of Chen Mu's annihilation.

How far are we from the center of the Immortal Tomb?

The most important thing now is to obtain the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone and the divine object hidden there.

With him, we can persuade the patriarch to take direct action against the Azure Cloud Sect.

By the way, Shi Hao and his men will be going there too, so we can eliminate them all at once.

"Reporting to the Divine Child, it will take approximately two more days to travel."

"Yes, speed up. There will be plenty of time to get the other opportunities and celestial treasures after I obtain that treasure."

Time flies, and two days have passed in no time.

Now, six days after the opening of the Immortal Tomb, the competition among the geniuses within has reached a fever pitch.

Among them are also many prodigies who have obtained powerful inheritances and opportunities.

"Hahaha, I've got it! I'm about to soar to the heavens!"

"Haha! This is actually the sword of a Celestial King! Our Ye Family is about to rise!"

"The Immortal King's sword? Give it to me!"

"Your Ye Family is nothing more than a minor Great Luo level force, do you deserve the Immortal King Sword?"

"Remember this: the weak never deserve what the strong have, because you don't deserve it."

Xianfeng, Thatched Cottage.

"Very good, Feng'er. In just a few days, you have already mastered the first level of your Exclusive Cultivation Method."

"I have to thank my master and Grandfather for their dedicated teaching over the past few days."

Lin Feng respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang and Lin Anye nodded in unison.

Feng Qingyang was quite satisfied with his newly accepted Fourth Disciple.

Extremely talented and with a good temperament, not bad.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'd like to trouble Old Man Lin to open the entrance to the Immortal Tomb."

Feng Qingyang said to Lin Anye beside him, "It's almost time. Today is the day the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone is born."

Once I get the Guardian Stone, I can complete the mission. I'm also very curious to know what's in the mysterious gift pack the system mentioned.

[Feng Qingyang: Realm: Immortal King Realm Eighth Level]

[Talent: Myriad Heavens Divine Body]

[Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills: Too Many to Calculate]

[Celestial Treasures: One hundred Designated Character Cultivation Enhancement Card, Azure Swan Demon Slaying Sword, Immortal Venerable Chariot...]

Disciples: Shi Hao (True Immortal Second Level) Lin Bai (Heavenly Immortal Peak) Hua Qingyu (Heavenly Immortal Peak) Lin Feng (True Immortal Fifth Level)

[Sect: Azure Cloud Sect, a fourth-level sect: Countless powerful individuals and over 100,000 disciples.]

[Current main quest: Ascend to supremacy over the Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain; Current side quest: Obtain the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone from the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb.]

Once this side quest is completed and the rewards are obtained, the strength of your sect will leap forward once again.

I just don't know if they will break the sect's record for highest combat strength again.

The sect's highest combat strength is currently only at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor level, and there is no true Immortal Emperor Realm to oversee it.

Wait a minute, isn't my fourth disciple's Grandfather Immortal Emperor Realm? I just don't know if our sect's deception techniques will work on him.

Seeing that Sect Master Feng was staring at him, Ancestor Lin Anye trembled inwardly. What was Sect Master Feng planning to do?

"Sect Master Feng, opening the Immortal Tomb is no problem for me; it's just a trivial matter."

"I just don't know what you want...?"

The old man guessed that Sect Master Feng probably wanted his grandson Lin Feng to go in and try the trial as well.

"It's nothing. I'm just taking my disciple Lin Feng inside to take care of some business."

Upon hearing this, the old man exclaimed, "So that's how it is! Then I...!"

He froze on the spot before he could finish speaking.

"Wait! Sect Master Feng, you said you want to go in too?"

"What? Is this sect not allowed to enter?"

"Sect Master Feng, that's not what I meant. You should know the rules for entering the Immortal Tomb."

"Only Bone Age of less than ten thousand years are allowed to enter; otherwise, forcibly entering will damage the Immortal Tomb."

Lin Anye quickly explained.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang stood up. "Did I say that I didn't meet the requirements for entry?"

Lin Anye:!!!

Lin Feng:!!!

What?! Does Sect Master Feng mean that his Bone Age is less than ten thousand years?!

To possess such heaven-defying cultivation in less than ten thousand years?!

In comparison, I have been cultivating for several epochs and am only at the Immortal Emperor Second Level. I feel like I have wasted my cultivation time!

Lin Feng, who was not far away, was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

He thought his talent was already extraordinary, having reached the peak of the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm Bone Age the age of eighteen.

But compared to Master, they are worlds apart!

If I am at the void layer, then my master's talent is simply at the cosmic layer!

The center of the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb.

Many exceptional talents were already waiting here.

This place was quite different from the rest of the Immortal Tomb, which was mostly desolate.

A vast and solemn palace complex, along with many magnificent pavilions and towers.

Countless tall and sacred tombstones rise from the ground, and a rich, ethereal Immortal Qi permeates every corner of this place.

This place is like a celestial city inhabited by cultivators and immortals from the outside world.

However, unlike the immortal cities outside, which are inhabited, this is a dead city.

"Immortal Nether Spirit City".

At this moment, Shi Hao and his group arrived in front of the immortal city. Lin Bai looked at the plaque hanging above the immortal city Nan Nan.

"I never imagined that there would be such a magnificent city inside the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb."

"Speaking of which, this should be the center of the Immortal Tomb."

Qin Han spoke from behind.

Shi Hao and his group were all amazed by this immortal city.

"This immortal city is called Immortal Spirit City Immortal Nether Spirit City. Once you enter this city, you must abide by its rules, or you will be lost forever and unable to leave."

Qing Qian solemnly warned him with a serious expression.

She then continued, "Fighting is forbidden in the Immortal City, and no buildings may be damaged, otherwise it will disturb the sleeping immortal Immortal Spirit within."

Upon hearing her words, Shi Hao and his group all became serious.

Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.

"In that case, Miss Qian, what will happen when we fight for the Guardian Stone? There will definitely be a great battle, won't there?"

"The Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone is located in a huge Ancient Ruins behind the Spirit City. Fighting inside will not awaken the Immortal Spirit, but that is the only place where it can."

Afterwards, Qing Qian explained many details about the Spirit City.

After Shi Hao and his group had learned everything, they entered the Spirit City.

Upon entering, they discovered that the bright void had immediately turned a hazy gray.

The city gate they had entered through had also disappeared, as if they had entered another dimension.

"Let's go straight to the Ancient Ruins behind Spirit City. The Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone will probably be born soon."

Unexpectedly, just as Shi Hao finished speaking, the calm void around them rippled once again.

A dozen or so figures appeared not far away.

Judging from their attire, they were clearly a group from the Joyful Union Immortal Sect.

"Hey hey hey, who's this?"

"What a coincidence! Aren't these the geniuses of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect? And Che Di, your beloved Qingqian Immortal Fairy."

Upon seeing Shi Hao and his group not far away, the leading Divine Daughter Hehuan's eyes lit up, and she began to tease them.

"You son of a bitch!" Among Shi Hao's group, Long Aotian, the Core Disciple with the most explosive temper, couldn't hold back any longer and retorted with a friendly greeting.

"You...!"

"What? What? Come and hit me then?"

Seeing this, Long Aotian continued to provoke him.

Anyway, with the rules of Spirit City in place, what am I afraid of?

If this cerebral palsy Divine Daughter really dares to make a move, then things will get interesting.

"Heh, Sister Qing, let's not waste time with them. Let's hurry to the Ancient Ruins and get to the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone first."

"There will be plenty of time to deal with them later."

After Xiao Che finished speaking, he glanced at Qing Qian in front of him, his Qing Qian in his eyes undisguised.

"Brother Che is right, let's go."

"You just wait, I'll deal with you when we get to the Ancient Ruins."

Clearly, she knew the rules of Spirit City, and even uttered a harsh remark before leaving.

After this minor incident, Shi Hao and his group continued their journey.

The closer they got to the city center, the heavier the atmosphere became, and the darker the sky grew.

"By the way, Miss Qian, what is Immortal Spirit?"

"You can think of it as a spiritual being born after the fall of a powerful immortal."

"These things can only be born in specific places. They can not only cultivate, but also slowly recover their memories of their past lives. It can be said that they are reborn."

"So that's another way of saying it."

"We're almost at the inner city. Remember, once you're inside the inner city, whatever you see is all an illusion."

"Absolutely do not talk to anyone, just pretend you didn't see them."

"Otherwise, these Immortal Spirit will pull you into another dimension, and you'll never be able to get out."

Speaking of this, her Qing Qian voice rose considerably as she solemnly warned him.

These were all things that the Lineage elders had repeatedly told me to do before I came.

There have been many instances where talented individuals have been misled within the inner city.

Some were disturbed by the Immortal Spirit and mistakenly thought they had come to the outside world.

Some are bewitched by Immortal Spirit that have transformed into their own family members.

Even more outrageous, a prodigy, upon seeing the lavishly decorated brothels in the inner city, couldn't resist going there to listen to music...

Of course, these incidents never occurred again after the inner city rules were spread.

Since those who come here are mostly renowned geniuses, once they know the rules and are prepared in advance, those Immortal Spirit cannot deceive them at all.

Of course, even so, we still cannot let our guard down.

A short while later.

Shi Hao and his group then arrived at the so-called inner city.

When they all walked in, they were still shocked, even though they were mentally prepared.

The inner city was incredibly prosperous, with luxurious decorations everywhere and monks hawking their wares.

The wide streets were bustling with pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder.

"Oh, welcome to my immortal city, esteemed talents! I have an ancestral, peerless immortal sword here. I wonder if any of you would be interested?"

"I have a few ancestral pills here, which are Immortal King-level pills. If any of you geniuses are interested, I'll give them to you."

"You exceptional talents, come and have a look at my place! I can make you feel like you're floating on air, and you'll definitely want to stay forever."

Many people came up to talk to Shi Hao and his group, either trying to sell them things at very low prices or offering gifts.

Another brothel madam warmly approached them and greeted them.

However, none of Shi Hao's group were moved. They simply pretended not to see or hear anything and continued walking forward.

These people saw that Shi Hao and his group ignored them.

They stopped greeting them, and the cunning in their eyes vanished, replaced by a dull, lifeless look.

"Hao'er, I am your master. Why don't you come and pay your respects?"

"Azure Cloud Sect disciples, return immediately! Something has happened at the sect!"

"Qian girl, what are you doing here? Hurry up and come back with your father."

Along the way, they were constantly bombarded with enticing voices from behind, trying to lure them back.

However, Shi Hao and his group ignored them and continued walking forward until they encountered many passersby blocking their way.

They didn't stop and all walked straight through the crowd.

A short while later, they walked out of the Immortal Nether Spirit City.

The entire scene behind them shattered.

"Phew, I'm finally out of there."

"The scene conjured by the Immortal Spirit is quite realistic. Thank you for the reminder, Miss Qian."

Qing Qian glanced around at her surroundings and then spoke again, "Young Master Shi, we have arrived at the rear of Spirit City."

"The Ancient Ruins are just ahead."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao nodded.

We've been through a lot of dangers along the way, but we've finally arrived.

Once I obtained the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone, the task my master had entrusted to me would be completed.

Then we can go and seek opportunities and treasures, and then we just have to wait for the exit of the Immortal Tomb to open.

Without further ado, let's go.

Within the magnificent Ancient Ruins.

The top geniuses from both major Dao Domain were already waiting here.

The so-called top geniuses are at least geniuses from top-tier Immortal King Family.

It's not that other forces can't come, but that they simply don't have the strength to compete for the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone.

Even if they were lucky enough to get it, they wouldn't be able to hold onto it given the power behind them.

Just like that proud man said, "The weak are never worthy of what the strong possess."

"The Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone will be born in about an incense stick's time."

"Yes, more or less, but this competition will definitely be extremely fierce. Look, even Mo Yu Divine Son of the Purple Feather Dao Domain, has come."

"In addition, there is Huang Yan, the divine son of the Cang Yuan Immortal Sect, and the crown prince of the Heavenly Gilded Immortal Kingdom. The lineup from Purple Feather Dao Domain this time is not to be underestimated."

The prodigies of Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain and Purple Feather Dao Domain split into two groups, and they were wary of each other.

The Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain is led by the divine sons of the two great Immortal Emperor forces, and the Purple Feather Dao Domain is the same.

Judging from the lineup alone, Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain is at a slight disadvantage.

"No matter what, we can't let the people from the Purple Feather Dao Domain take the Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone away, otherwise it would be such a disgrace."

"Remember this: when the time comes, just stop the people from the Purple Feather Dao Domain. There are more than just Immortal Spirit Guardian Stone here; if necessary, we can always find other opportunities."

One of the prodigies directly gave orders to his own clansmen.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the Ancient Ruins grew increasingly solemn.

"Look, someone else is coming, and it seems to be from our Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain."

"It's Qingqian Immortal Fairy from the Qing Clan Immortal Clan and those people from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."
