Yellow Springs Palace Main Mausoleum ago.

Under a huge Bronze Gate, six figures in black robes stood, blocking the scene inside the mausoleum.

The billowing demonic energy lingered in front of them, and from time to time they transformed into images of tigers, leopards, jackals, or outlined the appearance of axes, axes, and hooks.

There were more than ten people lying on the ground, all of them monks trying to attack the mausoleum.

But whether they were casual cultivators or sect disciples, whether they were Demon Slayer Guard of the Spirit Origin Sect or True Disciple of the Azure Sky Sect, they all fell in front of the door without exception.

More than seventy Foundation Establishment Cultivator surrounded the place, but no one dared to continue to attack.

Originally, relying on the numerical advantage, even one Law Technique per person could kill a mere six magic cultivators on the opposite side.

But those six people were hiding behind Bronze Gate. Under the protection of the demonic energy, long-range attacks simply did not have enough lethality to threaten them.

The Bronze Gate has a limited width and can only pass five people at the same time.

Those six demonic cultivators still have magic weapons in their hands. Even the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator is no match for them.

If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground.

Someone originally tried to organize a wheel battle, but there was always an endless debate over who would be the one to wear down the opponent in the first few rounds.

There were also monks who tried to organize five top masters to attack at the same time, but found that they were short of manpower.

Divine Fire Sect planned very clearly. They did not intercept the top Foundation Establishment who arrived here two days ago.

Instead, the entrance to the mausoleum was blocked on the third day after the palace was opened.

This resulted in the late arrival of Righteous Cultivator. Although the total number was greater, there were very few outstanding individuals.

In addition, during this period, there were monks who discovered Law Artifact or Secret Manual in the side hall.

So I simply left here and went to the side hall alone to hunt for treasure.

Gradually, nearly half of the monks left, and two Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monks also lost their patience and followed them to the side hall, further weakening the power gathered on the right side.

Therefore, this confrontation has lasted for two full days.

However, Main Mausoleum's door is still firmly controlled by the Divine Fire Sect.

More and more monks began to waver, thinking about whether to give up entering Main Mausoleum and try to find some gains elsewhere.

After all, so much time has passed, and it seems that no new monks will come later.

However, just when more monks were about to leave, they saw a large group of monks walking side by side from behind.

There were nearly a hundred people.

The person walking at the front was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. If you look closely, he turned out to be Xiao Chen.

"Daoist Xiao?"

Yao Dehai almost thought he had recognized the wrong person; "It's really you, and Daoist Yang is also there. This is really great."

"I thought you had already gone to the mausoleum."

Because he was taking care of the monks he met along the way in the maze, he came out two days late and did not catch up with the previous gap.

As a result, I have been stopped here until now.

In the middle of the process, he tried to organize people, but was unable to reach cooperation.

Because the monks in nearby Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and Azure Sky Sect are not willing to fully believe in his arrangement.

At this time, I saw Xiao Chen and others approaching, and a group of female cultivators in the distance also cast their eyes.

Almost all of them are from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, as if the leader is True Disciple who arrived late.

After seeing the fate of the Azure Sky Sect and True Disciple, she was unwilling to participate in the assault at all, but chose to stay where she was and wait for possible changes.

Yao Dehai was originally very anxious, after all, most of the powerful monks had already gone in.

If you don't give it a try now, maybe all the good stuff inside will be distributed.

Therefore, he was shocked after seeing Xiao Chen. With the opponent's ability, how could he arrive so late?

His idea is not wrong either.

In fact, if Xiao Chen had arrived in time on the first day, he would have been in the mausoleum long ago.

But it doesn't matter, it's not too late.

After all, collecting Sha Qi is very time-consuming. If you arrive early, you won't be able to take it with you. You still have to collect it slowly.

The two parties briefly exchanged greetings, and then Yao Dehai briefly introduced the current situation.

"Daoist Xiao, Daoist Yang, you guys take a short rest."

"We will cooperate with Daoist Huo and Daoist Xu later and try to rush in together."

The Daoist Huo and Daoist Xu mentioned by Yao Dehai are two casual cultivators from Li Province and Ten Thousand Flowers Valley respectively, both of whom are Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Including himself, there were exactly five people in total.

"No need to rest, I'm not tired yet."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and rejected the proposal. "Are those six people blocking the entrance?"

"They are just a few rats hiding in the evil spirit and dare not come out. Leave them all to me."

Yao Dehai heard the words and wanted to speak out to persuade, but saw Yang Huai'an standing still.

He was wondering in his heart, what is going on?

"Daoist Xiao Hello, I am..."

True Disciple from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley saw Xiao Chen coming over and wanted to persuade him, but in the middle of his words, he saw him walking straight over.

He entered into the billowing demonic energy without looking back.

The six demon cultivators inside naturally heard the comments just made.

At this time, when he saw Xiao Chen coming, he immediately urged Secret Method to guide the demonic energy to suppress him.

Compared to the demon cultivators in the maze, their use of demonic energy is obviously more skillful and advanced.

These demonic energies actually gathered together layer by layer, and condensed into a block like substance.

In the end, Xiao Chen was tightly wrapped up like a cocoon.

In this case, no matter what Law Technique is used, the original power will be suppressed to less than 30%.

If the distance between the two sides is slightly further, it will be even more folded.

However, those demonic cultivators were still able to exert 70% to 80% of their original strength, enough to form a decisive crushing force.

Under such favorable conditions, it is not difficult to face one against ten ordinary monks of the same level.

However, the demonic energy can only affect the external Law Power, but cannot weaken the pure Physical Strength.

Xiao Chen used the flow of nearby demonic energy to lock the position of the demonic cultivator closest to him, and rushed forward with a fist.

"No, he is Body Cultivator!"

The demon cultivator pulled back while shouting, "Hurry and help me stop him!"

At the same time, he also took out a special Talisman in his hand to directly activate it.

Of course they also know how powerful Body Cultivator is, so they made preparations before coming.

Each person carries a limited edition Talisman Making with different effects, including Immobilization Talisman, Body Binding Talisman, Ice Seal Talisman, etc.

However, when his Immobilization Talisman hit Xiao Chen, it immediately dimmed and fell to his feet.

At the same time, the other Talismans excited around are like waste paper, without any blocking effect.

"Bang~!"

There was a sound like a watermelon exploding.

The headless demon cultivator slowly fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen was like a tiger rushing into a herd of sheep and pounced on the remaining five people.

.

"Talisman is useless, use Law Artifact to block."

"Use the secret skill quickly!"

"Stop him!"

In the exclamation, Xiao Chen easily smashed the shield in front of him and punched through the demon cultivator under the shield.

"Yellow Springs Nine Secrets·Boiling Blood Divine Curse!"

The leader of the demon cultivator shouted loudly, and a bloody light suddenly appeared in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a long Talisman, with several mysterious inscriptions written on it, surging like boiling magma.

As he performed this secret technique, the surrounding air began to become hot.

The three nearby demon cultivators hurriedly avoided and did not dare to approach.

Even the monks waiting outside felt as if waves of heat were coming, and at the same time the blood in their bodies began to become hot.

The reason why they can be left here to isolate the other monks is because of this secret technique.

Boiling Blood Divine Curse was Yellow Springs Path back then, and Curse Technique was developed specifically for Body Cultivator.

Once activated, it can ignite the blood all over the body, like boiling water churning uncontrollably.

The more prosperous the qi and blood are, the more severe the burning will be and the more severe the pain will be.

"Suffer death!"

As the other party finished speaking, the divine curse rushed directly to Xiao Chen and began to burn crazily.

Suddenly everyone around him felt that the temperature in his body also doubled.

Many monks quickly retreated and at the same time activated Law Power to suppress their own blood.

Yao Dehai hurriedly took out two pieces of Talisman, stuck them to himself, and shouted toward the entrance, "Daoist Xiao, get out quickly."

"I have Spirit Suppressing Talisman here, which can resolve Curse Technique."

Due to the obstruction of the demonic energy, he can't see the people inside at all now, let alone send Talisman directly in.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Xiao Chen First bend down and pick up Storage Bag on the ground to prevent it from being obscured by the evil energy and making it difficult to find it later.

By the way, I replied Yao Dehai to reassure them.

Even though Boiling Blood Divine Curse seems dangerous when attached to his body, in fact, he doesn't feel anything strange at all.

Although this thing looks like it is burning, its essence is Curse Technique, so it is defeated by Divinity Veil.

Then he strode towards the leader of the demon cultivators not far away.

"No, he's here again!"

"Curse Technique seems useless, stop him quickly!"

"A Qiang, what the hell are you doing standing still? Use Soul-Shaking Bell!"

At the reminder of the leader, A Qiang not far away hurriedly took out a small bell from Storage Bag.

He actually doesn't want to use magic weapons, after all, he has to pay a very high price every time.

And he has already used it once before.

But seeing that Xiao Chen was unstoppable, he had to rush to the leader's side.

He still gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and slapped himself hard on the chest.

Under the urging of his palm, he spit out a big mouthful of Essence Blood with a "wow" sound, and instantly activated the magic weapon.

"Dingling bell~!"

Immediately there was a clear ringing sound, as sweet as a wind chime.

However, this is just an appearance.

The moment Soul-Shaking Bell is activated, there will be a real buzzing sound.

Ordinary people's ears can't hear it at all, but it can directly shock the monk's Divine Soul.

Some Divine Soul relatively fragile people will be shocked into dementia immediately.

Even Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monks would be shocked so much that their hands and feet would become numb, their limbs would be weak, and they would stand still for a long time.

However, several magic cultivators around him were already prepared and running specific Secret Method at the same time to protect themselves from being affected.

After all, in this kind of range Law Technique, it is impossible to tell who is the enemy and who is one of our own.

Even Xiao Chen was shaken this time.

This kind of attack directly targeting the Divine Soul level is not within the protection scope of Divinity Veil.

Fortunately, he is Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and Divine Sense is already stronger than ordinary monks. In addition, he later ate a total of sixty-four Mind-Boosting Pill, which greatly increased Spiritual Sense Strength.

He was just stunned for a moment, but returned to normal in less than half a breath.

He kicked his right foot on the ground and rushed in front of A Qiang.

With one stroke, he snatched the bell from his hand.

"This is impossible!"

A Qiang's face was extremely ugly, and the scene in front of him completely overturned his knowledge of the past few decades.

His lips trembled and he asked, "My Soul-Shaking Bell cannot be blocked by any Law Artifact, why can you not be affected?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Do you want to know?"

"But I won't tell you."

As he said this, he moved Black Tiger Steals Heart and killed A Qiang neatly.

Then Xiao Chen bent down to pick up Storage Bag and glanced at Soul-Shaking Bell in his hand.

Although A Qiang was successfully dealt with without any danger, the attack just now gave him a wake-up call.

If you want to live long enough in Cultivation World, you have to take care of all aspects.

Especially some seemingly inconspicuous places must not be ignored.

Since Foundation Establishment, Xiao Chen has almost never encountered obstacles in Divine Sense.

In the entire Southern Domain, there have been almost no cases of attacks against Divine Soul.

But if my Divine Sense hadn't been strong enough today, I would have almost fallen into the magic cultivator here.

In the future, I will have to think of ways to improve my Divine Soul strength, and at the same time, it is best to practice more methods of defense against Divine Sense Attack.

Of course, there is no need to think too much about these issues right now.

Let's get the remaining three Storage Bag first.

The leader of the magic cultivator was very desperate.

Only Talisman Making does not work, Yellow Springs Secret Art does not work, and Blood Sacrifice Demonic Weapon does not work either.

He watched helplessly as Xiao Chen killed another of his men, and then rushed towards him.

So he turned around on the spot and tried to escape, completely forgetting the mission assigned by the sect.

However, he didn't run fast enough, at least not as fast as Golden Light Shrinking Earth.

So before he could even rush into the mausoleum, he was caught by Xiao Chen and killed on the spot.

After solving these six magic cultivators, Xiao Chen turned around and returned to the door, signaling that he was safe. "Yao Daoyou, Daoist Yang, the entrance to the mausoleum has been secured."

"I plan to go inside and check out the situation."

"However, if you go further inside, you may encounter unpredictable dangers."

Xiao Chen said and looked at Du Mingjie and others, "For safety reasons, I suggest that everyone enter separately, or wait for a while before coming in."

After saying this, he turned around and entered Main Mausoleum without staying too long.

Pass through Bronze Gate and walk through a corridor filled with evil energy.

Behind it is a square Underground Palace that is 999 feet long.

As far as the eye can see, Golden Light is everywhere.

The ground is covered with Gold Bricks, the walls are covered with gold foil, and there are statues made of pure gold standing there.

And on the high platform stacked with gold bars in the middle, there is a huge Golden Coffin.

Inside the entire Underground Palace, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine Everlasting Lamp made of pure gold were lit.

It seems to be some kind of Spirit Fire used inside, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight.

However, when I looked around, I couldn't see a single figure.

.

"Strange, where have everyone gone?"

Xiao Chen walked in the mausoleum. There was no evil spirit here, and Divine Sense was able to quickly scan the entire Underground Palace.

However, except for various utensils made of pure gold, there is indeed no trace left by the monks.

It's so quiet that it makes people feel nervous.

Yang Huai'an also followed Xiao Chen in, but strangely, he didn't look around.

Instead, he walked forward in despair and stepped onto the high platform without any protective measures.

Then he jumped up from the top cover of Golden Coffin.

Then the whole person seemed to have stepped on the water and sank directly.

Huh?

What does this mean?

Xiao Chen followed to the Golden Coffin, which was ninety-nine feet long and thirty-six feet wide, and saw an entire miniature city carved on it.

There are many miniature people in the city, distributed in different locations.

Some seemed to be hunting for treasure in the center of the city, some seemed to be exploring in the corners, and some were chasing each other.

These little figures are carved lifelike, just like real people.

Xiao Chen saw in the center of the city, Ye Fei was running away with Miao Yuqing in his arms, followed by Han Zi Yan.

There are five villains chasing him behind him, and there is another villain on the left front who seems to want to outflank him.

In a hut in the lower right corner of the city, there is the light of the law shining.

Lin Ping'an is hiding inside, holding a copy of Cultivation Method's research in his hand, and even made himself a pot of tea.

I don't know why, but Xiao Chen can directly see Formation Flag in six different colors next to him.

This means that there should be six different formations arranged around him.

At the same time, around the hut, you can also see three Law Technique traps composed of Talisman.

These items that should obviously be invisible are now clearly visible.

The problem is that his place is the most remote corner of the city, and there is no one nearby.

I don't even know who he is trying to fight with with so many formations and traps.

The other monks who rushed in early, such as Nine Feet Staff Zhu Hui, Lone Sword Liu Feng.

As well as Song Jingyi and Qi Xingwen, who separated not long ago, including Spirit Origin Sect, chief Ning Haochen, and everyone else are also there.

The main reason is that there are still many faces that I don't recognize, so I can only roughly guess that some of the female cultivators may be from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley based on their clothes.

At this time Qiu Qichen and Yao Dehai also walked in.

Their eyes were also blank, as if they were affected by some kind of illusory formation, and they jumped into the city one after another.

Then Xiao Chen saw two new villains appearing in different houses.

He carefully pulled out Flying Sword and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Good guy, you won't even spare your own people?"

Xiao Chen saw that there were clearly a large number of demon cultivators inside, but they were all trapped in the city.

"They are not our own people."

"Breaking into the palace privately without obtaining the inherited secret skills is nothing more than a group of tomb robbers."

Suddenly a voice sounded.

But the sound seemed to come from all directions, and the location of the speaker was unclear.

"Who?"

Xiao Chen looked around quickly, and Divine Sense looked through this place again.

But still no other monks were seen.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly a golden ball of light descended, condensing into a strange image. "You were not affected by the illusion array. Could it be that you are the real Yellow Springs Successor?"

Huh?

Xiao Chen blinked. "Yes, I am the current successor of Yellow Springs Path, and I have come here to seek the inheritance of my sect."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Huh?

His rhetorical question directly confused Artifact Spirit on the other side.

No, I went all out to look like this Incarnation, and you can't even recognize me?

Then what kind of descendant are you?

As expected, the foreign monks have bad hearts and even deceived Artifact Spirit.

The person who answered the call to Xiao Chen at this time was actually not a living person, but Artifact Spirit, the Golden Coffin.

It was not originally sane, but it accidentally absorbed an extremely tiny trace of Divine Sense Fragment from the Yellow Springs Palace.

This idea had actually been crushed to pieces, but it was precisely this that gave it the chance to be born.

And the image it evolved is exactly the face of Third Dao Lord of the Yellow Springs Path back then.

Xiao Chen claims to be Yellow Springs Successor, but he doesn't even recognize his face, so he is obviously talking nonsense.

If it weren't for Artifact Spirit, who became a monk halfway, there wouldn't be any attack methods at present.

It couldn't wait to take action now and kill this ungrateful guy.

The key is still the question Xiao Chen. I asked Artifact Spirit directly.

How does it answer this?

Next, how does it trick Xiao Chen into obediently becoming a tribute?

Artifact Spirit couldn't help but cursed in his heart: This tomb robber is so unprofessional now.

Before you come to the Yellow Springs Palace, can't you make some basic preparations?

This suddenly disrupted all the plans it had prepared.

Originally, it should have let Xiao Chen lie in the coffin to accept the so-called inheritance in the name of the third Sect Master.

In fact, of course there is no so-called inheritance.

But only with the help of Golden Coffin, Artifact Spirit can we achieve Body Seizure.

But if we continue to introduce it like this now, wouldn't we be betrayed directly?

However, seeing Xiao Chen delaying in waiting for an answer and casting a suspicious look, Artifact Spirit immediately became anxious.

No, you must stabilize the other party.

So it temporarily changed its identity. "I am Artifact Spirit left behind by the master, and I am responsible for guiding the real Yellow Springs Successor on how to obtain the inherited secret technique."

"Since you are here, are you here to get Secret Method?"

"As long as you follow my guidance, the process is not complicated."

There are many inscriptions carved inside Golden Coffin, and Body Seizure is really not complicated to make.

"Oh, that's right."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "But I'm not here for Secret Method, so forget about this guidance."

Huh?

What the hell?

If Artifact Spirit were True Person, they would probably go crazy.

No, you came to the Yellow Springs Palace and said you didn't come here for inheritance?

So what are you doing here, traveling?

It has just absorbed the memories of so many dead monks. Obviously you all came here for the treasures and inheritance.

"Oh, I understand, you want the treasure left by the master, right?"

"This is also not complicated. The master has already made arrangements."

"The best treasures and true secrets are all placed in Golden Coffin."

"As long as you follow my guidance, you can have everything here."

It's just that Artifact Spirit will borrow this body and own everything here.

"Well, I'm not here for the treasure either."

Xiao Chen shook his head again.

Again, the main goal must be clear, and you must not be tempted by these things.

His biggest target is naturally Sha Qi: "Don't be in a hurry with this guide. Is this the only place this big? Is there any other place?"

Huh?

After hearing his answer, Artifact Spirit on the other side finally became numb.

Haven't you already reached the core point?

Why look elsewhere?

Are you really here to travel?
