The Immortal Emperor's Tomb Opens, Geniuses Gather Like Clouds
Inside the restaurant.
Li Shanshi a banquet for everyone.
Lu Changsheng, Ye Rujin, Golden Crow Crown Prince, Supreme Mysterious, Wang Chuan, and Tianji Zi all gathered here.
Wang Chuan was specially invited by Li Shanshi. Although Wang Chuan was not a peerless genius on the True Dragon Ranking, his family background and status qualified him to be included. Moon Spirit Princess was said to be currently studying the Pill Formula given by Lu Changsheng, so she did not come.
Tianji Zi is a typical example: he'll eat whenever there's food, and he'll take advantage of any opportunity to get by. If he can't gain an advantage, he considers himself to have suffered a loss.
At the dinner table, Li Shanshi raised his glass and toasted everyone.
Everyone gave Li Shanshi face and raised their glasses, but some drank and some didn't.
Supreme Mysterious picked up his wine cup and took a big gulp.
Wang Chuan drank it down in one gulp, the Golden Crow Crown Prince took a small sip, Ye Rujin was more reserved, only taking a small sip, while Tianji Zi had already poured himself a second cup of wine, quite casually.
As for Lu Changsheng, he simply put down his wine glass, since he was wearing a mask.
"Brother Lu, why do you always wear a mask? Logically speaking, with such a good temperament, you should be quite good-looking."
However, at this moment, Li Shanshi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "It's not that no one wears a mask, but usually only ugly cultivators, or those for certain reasons, wear masks."
Lu Changsheng wearing a mask piqued their curiosity.
"Brother Lu must be handsome and extraordinary. I'm afraid even Fairy Ye would be moved and admire him if he took off his mask."
The Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke, making a few lighthearted remarks and praising Lu Changsheng.
However, after thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng nodded and admitted it directly.
Everyone was taken aback.
Especially the Golden Crow Crown Prince, although Lu Changsheng should be pretty good, would he really be that direct?
"Brother Lu must be a handsome god, but I am devoted to the Dao and will not be tainted by worldly desires."
Ye Rujin spoke up. She wasn't as aloof as people imagined; on the contrary, she was quite talkative. It was just that because she looked so much like an ice queen, many people were afraid to chat with her, and she wouldn't take the initiative to chat with others.
"Actually, I was suppressing my own luck."
Lu Changsheng spoke slowly.
Suppress one's own fortune?
What does this mean?
The crowd was somewhat surprised. They had always heard of suppressing one's cultivation level or enhancing one's luck, but they had never heard of suppressing one's luck before.
Everyone was curious and couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng said quite seriously.
"If I were to remove the mask, all the fortune of heaven and earth would gather on me alone. If I entered the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, I might not need to do anything at all. All the treasures would automatically appear before me. The most terrifying thing is that all the women in the world would be infatuated with me, which would bring unnecessary trouble."
Lu Changsheng spoke, his tone somewhat serious, but it surprised everyone.
A deathly silence fell over the dinner table.
It was a little awkward.
"It's true."
Tianji Zi thought for a moment and then said with certainty.
However, no one would believe it.
"Hahaha, Brother Lu, you really know how to joke."
Li Shanshi chuckled awkwardly. Although he believed that Lu Changsheng had a great background, this was a bit too much to say.
Are there really people in this world with such incredible luck?
They don't believe it, they'd rather die than believe it.
The Golden Crow Crown Prince was the most embarrassed. He knew the most, so naturally he thought Lu Changsheng was joking.
Entering a secret realm and easily obtaining treasures?
Are you kidding me?
Even if the Golden Crow Ancestor were reborn, he couldn't possibly have such good fortune, right?
Even if a powerful being from the Chaos Era were to be resurrected, they wouldn't have such good fortune, would they?
But Lu Changsheng was speaking so seriously that he really didn't know what to say.
"By the way, Brother Xuanji, why did you fight with Gu Zhentian?"
To ease the tension, Li Shanshi couldn't help but ask Supreme Mysterious Xuanji why they were fighting with Gu Zhentian out of the blue.
However, when Gu Zhentian was mentioned, Supreme Mysterious's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"That's a madman."
Supreme Mysterious took another sip of wine. He was somewhat frustrated because when he fought with Gu Zhentian, it was entirely because the other party had a problem with his brain.
"I originally planned to go to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb today. If there was no news, I would just go back. But I didn't expect to run into this Gu Zhentian on the way. He insisted on sparring with me."
"I originally intended to maintain a peaceful atmosphere and have a casual spar, but I didn't expect this guy to be so fierce. As the fight progressed, I got really angry, and so did he, which led to this situation."
Supreme Mysterious is really frustrated.
He didn't want to fight at all. To be honest, many people in the world wanted to challenge him, after all, he was a strongman on the True Dragon Ranking. Defeating him would be equivalent to surpassing him indirectly.
Therefore, people often use the guise of friendly sparring to challenge others to fights.
The Supreme Mysterious is something that can be avoided if possible. If it can't be avoided, then a fight will be held. But generally speaking, it's just a friendly spar, a simple way to test each other's strength.
Unexpectedly, the Gu Zhentian, without giving any warning whatsoever.
The battle between the prodigies cannot be taken lightly, but Gu Zhentian is reckless and fights to the death. Supreme Mysterious is no pushover either, and the fight continues until they are both deadly.
If it weren't for the Immortal King's intervention, to be honest, both of them would have been seriously injured. It's impossible to say who would have won or lost, but one thing is certain: both of them would have been severely injured.
"This Gu Zhentian is ranked seventy-first on the True Dragon Ranking. I've heard he's impulsive and frequently challenges the strongest on the True Dragon Ranking, hoping to improve his ranking. However, many of the True Dragon Ranking's prodigies have refused his challenges. I never expected..."
Wang Chuan began to speak, but then fell silent.
The meaning of his second half of the sentence was very simple: he didn't expect Supreme Mysterious to accept the challenge.
"Hmph! He likes to fight. Once we're inside the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, I'll make him my mortal enemy."
Supreme Mysterious is also a ruthless person. As a peerless genius, he cannot be without pride and backbone. The fact that the other party wanted to step on him to rise to the top is already considered an enmity, and it is impossible to let it go.
"Brother Xuanji, don't be angry. You should be used to this kind of situation. When I was ranked fifteenth, I fought seventy-two battles in one day. The greater the fame, the greater the trouble you will face. I envy the top three on the True Dragon Ranking. These three are like dragons, their origins and destinies are unknown, and even their names are fake."
"Knowing nothing about its background or origin saves us a lot of trouble."
When the Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke, he said that he had also experienced this kind of thing. With fame, trouble would naturally follow. In the Immortal Realm, especially among the prodigies, if you want to become famous, you have to fight, and you have to fight those famous cultivators.
This is how you can quickly become famous.
It's like in the mortal world, if someone hangs up a plaque that says "Number One in the World," countless people will immediately come to your house to compete with you.
"Indeed, since that's the case, let's not talk about it anymore. Brother Li, it seems there's some new information about the Immortal Emperor's Tomb. Does Brother Li know anything about it?"
Supreme Mysterious spoke, no longer concerned about Gu Zhentian's affairs, but rather curious, and couldn't help but ask Li Shanshi.
After all, Li Shanshi had access to information about the Ten Thousand Fortunes Pavilion, so naturally, he was always one step ahead in receiving news.
"Yes, there is indeed something going on Immortal Emperor's Tomb. After several Immortal King investigated together, it was found that there should be no Emperor Corpse Immortal Emperor's Tomb. Furthermore, it was discovered that this Immortal Emperor may be related to the stars."
"But more importantly, an Immortal King saw a tree in the Celestial Tomb."
As Li Shanshi said this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but glance at Li Shanshi again.
"A tree?"
Everyone was curious, not understanding what it meant.
"That's right, it's a tree. According to the Immortal King, it should be a High Antiquity divine tree. They couldn't see it clearly, they only saw divine fruits on the tree, but they didn't know what kind of tree it was."
Li Shanshi shook his head at this point; this was all the information he had.
"A divine tree? Divine fruit?"
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
"Actually, one of the Immortal King who went in to investigate was my clan's Immortal King. There was indeed no Emperor Corpse inside. Moreover, judging from the traces on the surface, the owner of this Immortal Emperor's Tomb did not want to be reborn. He simply wanted to return to dust. So this is a stroke of luck."
Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke up and said this.
Within his clan, there was an Immortal King who participated in the exploration. This was because the Golden Crow Race was inherently extremely yang and powerful, especially the Golden Crow True Fire, which was an immortal fire infinitely close to the fire of the Heavenly Dao. It was most effective against these Outer Dao and heretics.
Having a Golden Crow Immortal King protecting you certainly makes you feel much more at ease.
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.
He currently has three things to do: first, to find his master; second, to find the Origin God Tree and obtain the Life Fruit; and third, to become the Six Realms Master.
Although the third thing was added randomly, the second thing is more important.
The Lord of Heaven Abyss God Mountain said that if they couldn't find it, he would perish along with some of the immortal beings. As the Devil Master of the Demon Realm, Lu Changsheng didn't care much, but he was still somewhat interested in that Ancient God King Ring.
After all, he had tested the power of this ring at the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect.
"According to calculations by Immortal King, that ancient tree may be High Antiquity divine tree. Its fruit can help people condense the High Antiquity Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the secret realm is very strange. It does not allow Immortal King to enter. There is a Qi Luck Platform, which can only be entered by people with abundant Qi Luck."
Golden Crow Crown Prince continued, saying that the Immortal King of his clan had already gone in to see what was going on and knew a lot about the matter.
"This is a great opportunity. We can go in and give it a try. If we really succeed, the True Dragon Meet in a few days will be truly spectacular."
Wang Chuan nodded and said this.
"The True Dragon Meet?" Supreme Mysterious pondered for a moment, then said, "This year's True Dragon Meet is said to be held in Heaven Star Ancient City, and it seems that there will also be some kind of Stone Appraisal Meet."
He said that.
"Yes, it's a joint effort of the Ten Great Holy Lands, the Four Great Dynasties, and even the Heavenly Court. Because many of the True Dragon Ranking geniuses were absent from the previous True Dragon Meet, a lot of divine stones were brought in as prizes to attract geniuses from all walks of life."
Li Shanshi nodded in response.
"The True Dragon Meet is indeed getting worse with each tournament. Everyone knows each other very well, and there's never been a real battle. Everyone has become smarter and knows how to hold back and hide their trump cards. Since there's no fighting, it's not very interesting. I haven't participated in the last two tournaments, but I might participate in this one."
Golden Crow Crown Prince nodded and explained why the True Dragon Meet was becoming increasingly ineffective.
"Oh? Brother Golden Crow is also going to participate?"
Supreme Mysterious asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, I might participate this year. After all, the Ten Great Holy Lands, the Four Dynasties, and even the Heavenly Court have all offered a Supreme Divine Stone as a prize. There is one that my Golden Crow Race has always wanted, so I will participate."
Golden Crow Crown Prince answered.
Lu Changsheng had no interest in the True Dragon Meet.
But at that moment, Li Shanshi's expression changed.
He then quickly said, "Everyone, I just received intelligence that the Immortal Emperor's Tomb has been opened and the Divine Tree has appeared in the world."
His expression changed, and he hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.
No one knew that the Immortal Emperor's Tomb had suddenly opened.
However, the Golden Crow Crown Prince soon received a Divine Sense message as well.
"My clan's Immortal King has ordered me to come quickly. Everyone, I will take my leave now. I will certainly extend my warmest welcome to you all next time we meet."
Golden Crow Crown Prince instantly became extremely excited. He disappeared from the spot, transforming into a golden light and leaving.
Not long after that.
Supreme Mysterious and Ye Rujin also received the news and bid farewell, leaving the place.
However, this shows that Li Shanshi's intelligence is indeed terrifying. Although it may seem like he is only one step ahead, this small step is of great significance.
Not long after, Wang Chuan also left, leaving only Lu Changsheng, Tianji Zi, and Li Shanshi in the private room.
"Let me take a turn."
Tianji Zi remained as steady as an old dog, took out a tortoise shell, and began to seriously perform divination.
Li Shanshi watched Tianji Zi intently, wanting to know what he had deduced.
After a while, Tianji Zi said with a look of shock.
"Hiss! It seems the Immortal Emperor's Tomb has been opened!"
Li Shanshi:
Lu Changsheng: ""
"Such good fortune! Let me see if you two have any fortuitous opportunity for advancement."
Tianji Zi ignored their reactions and continued his divination.
After a while, he frowned repeatedly.
"Great misfortune! Great misfortune! This is the worst of misfortunes!"
Tianji Zi frowned, believing that this Immortal Emperor's Tomb was an ominous sign.
Li Shanshi was somewhat surprised at that moment.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
With this ominous sign of Tianji Zi, everything's settled! All set!
"Senior Tianji, please calculate your own fortune again."
Lu Changsheng spoke up and said something.
"Yes, yes, let me calculate it for myself again."
Tianji Zi realized what was happening and quickly performed another divination for himself.
Not long after that.
A burst of laughter rang out.
"Hahahaha! Great fortune! Great fortune! Hahahaha, this Immortal Emperor's Tomb is destined for me, I have great fortune and great fortuitous opportunity!"
Tianji Zi laughed, and laughed very happily, as excited as a child.
Upon hearing what Tianji Zi said, Lu Changsheng immediately felt it was even more appropriate.
With Tianji Zi's appearance, how can he be considered lucky?
Sure enough, his divination result was the opposite of what he expected.
"Brother Lu, aren't you going to visit the Immortal Emperor's Tomb?"
A quarter of an hour had passed, Li Shanshi, seeing that Lu Changsheng was still sitting there calmly, couldn't help but feel very curious.
"Let's wait a bit."
Lu Changsheng is still considering it.
Li Shanshi nodded.
"Indeed, we have to wait. After all, I have received intelligence that there are also many ferocious beasts in the secret realm. When these geniuses enter, it will surely be a bloodbath. They will probably have to use all kinds of unique skills. Otherwise, even without the Emperor Corpse, it will not be so easy for them to pass."
Li Shanshi said that he thought it was good for Lu Changsheng to play it safe.
"Various unique skills?"
Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback.
Then I thought about it for a moment.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
Yes, if these prodigies were to enter the arena, they would probably unleash all their skills. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to refine the Heavenly Emperor Law.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng got up.
Go to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb.
That's all!
Go to sleep!
