Returning to the Hundred Emperors Tomb (Part Two)

In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans. It transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky...

The opening of "Carefree Journey" describes the enormous size of the Kunpeng. When Zhuge Xiang first entered the Hundred Emperors Tomb, he was truly shocked to see the Undying Great Roc's massive body, which was as large as a mountain. Although the Undying Great Roc was not a living being but only a manifestation of will, Zhuge Xiang, who had just entered the Nascent Deity Transformation stage, was still deeply shocked by the wonders of the Cultivation World.

Today, Zhuge Xiang, the Golden Body Bodhisattva, and Liao Wufa once again Space Rend and arrived before the Undying Great Roc. Looking at the Undying Great Roc's enormous body, although they were still filled with emotion, they no longer felt the same shock as before.

Zhuge Xiang's cultivation has also reached the Void Returning Stage, and his vision is now vastly different from what it was before.

"Chirp..." Upon noticing the appearance of Zhuge Xiang, Liao Wufa, and the Golden Body Bodhisattva in the Void, the Undying Great Roc let out a sharp cry, and its huge eyes shot out a fierce light.

When Zhuge Xiang first visited the Hundred Emperors Tomb, he heard the powerful figure who opened the Spatial Rift say that although the Undying Great Roc's Undying Great Roc was enormous, any Cultivator cultivation level exceeded the True Essence Realm would attract its attention. With Zhuge Xiang and his companions' strength, they were like torches in the darkness to the Undying Great Roc.

"Truly, the world is Great Thousand World and full of wonders. The will of all living beings can form such a powerful entity..." Liao Wufa said with a sigh, staring at the Undying Great Roc. This Undying Great Roc, whose body was thousands of miles long, was Undying Great Roc even Liao Wufa was not confident he could defeat in terms of pure strength.

"What all beings desire can be created from nothing. The reason this Undying Great Roc roams the Void is that the Heavenly Dao does not allow it to exist in the Cultivation World, like an immortal or Immortal Buddhas. It's just a pity that it is neither an immortal nor a Buddha, neither a demon nor Immortal and Demonic Realms can tolerate it." When it comes to things related to willpower, the Golden Body Bodhisattva is an expert. Looking at the Undying Great Roc, he spoke up, saying that this Undying Great Roc's strength had actually reached the level of Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens.

However, upon reflection, it makes sense. Liao Wufa and the Golden Body Bodhisattva are both comparable to Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens, yet they weren't entirely confident of victory against the Undying Great Roc. Therefore, it's only natural that the Undying Great Roc's strength has reached the level of gods and Buddhas.

In the Void, upon seeing Zhuge Xiang and his companions, the Undying Great Roc Zhuge Xiang out a sharp cry and charged towards them with its enormous body, thousands of miles long...

However, in a pure contest of strength, Zhuge Xiang and his companions were not confident in subduing the Undying Great Roc. But they were only entering the Hundred Emperors Tomb, and did not need to defeat the Undying Great Roc.

Like an elephant, which may be powerful, if a clever monkey wants to get on its back, does it have to defeat the elephant first?

With the combined strength and speed of Zhuge Xiang and his companions, their agility far surpassed that of the Undying Great Roc with its thousands of miles-long body. The three quickly entered the Hundred Emperors Tomb...

Inside the Hundred Emperors Tomb, Zombie, Vengeful Spirits, and vengeful ghosts are everywhere, all transformed from the fallen soldiers of the Six Nations. However, for Zhuge Xiang and his companions, these Zombie and the like are naturally no match for them.

On the contrary, the Golden Body Bodhisattva looked at these Zombie and Vengeful Spirits with some emotion. You see, strictly speaking, he was not much different from these Zombie and Vengeful Spirits.

Hovering in mid-air, the Golden Body Bodhisattva did not continue flying. Instead, it began chanting a magnificent Buddhist hymn. The radiant and holy hymn shone upon the Zombie and Vengeful Spirits, causing them to scream in agony...

"What is he doing?" Zhuge Xiang asked Liao Wufa, puzzled by the Golden Body Bodhisattva's actions.

"What he chanted was the Sutra of Rebirth, which is used by high -Buddhist Sect monks to guide the souls of the dead. When chanted by this Golden Body Bodhisattva, its power is even more extraordinary. However, it is a pity that the soldiers of these Six Nations are too attached to their own desires. Even the Sutra of Rebirth is not enough to easily guide them," Liao Wufa replied upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's question.

"I see," Liao Wufa Zhuge Xiang said, suddenly understanding.

"Sigh..." Looking at these Zombie and Vengeful Spirits, who only screamed pitifully but were unwilling to be reborn, the Golden Body Bodhisattva stopped the Sutra of Rebirth and sighed inwardly.

He deeply understood the obsession of these fallen soldiers. The Sutra of Rebirth was merely meant to offer their souls a path to rebirth, but these souls refused to walk it, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well use Buddhist Dharma to purify them all, could he?

"Alright, let's go see Bai Qi," Liao Wufa said, seeing the helpless Golden Body Bodhisattva. Since there was no way to convert these Vengeful Spirits Zombie, they would just put the matter aside for now.

"Alright, let's go..." The Golden Body Bodhisattva nodded, and the three continued on their way.

As they flew swiftly along the way, both Zombie and Vengeful Spirits, sensing the presence of Zhuge Xiang and his companions, all kept their distance. Even though these Vengeful Spirits and Zombie lacked intelligence, they still possessed the instinct to fear the strong.

Back then, in this Hundred Emperors Tomb, he even experienced Zombie horde's pursuit, facing numerous dangers. However, when he recently returned to the Hundred Emperors Tomb, he encountered no obstacles along the way. This made Zhuge Xiang secretly sigh, "Indeed, strength is important. Even these mindless Vengeful Spirits know to stay far away from you."

The three flew and soon saw the towering Hundred Emperors Pagoda. Pushing open the Hundred Emperors Pagoda's doors, Zhuge Xiang and the others stepped inside...

When Zhuge Xiang first arrived at the Hundred Emperors Pagoda, a new Puppet would appear on each floor he ascended. The Puppet's strength and everything else were exactly the same as Zhuge Xiang's, so Zhuge Xiang had to fight his way up.

Upon entering the Hundred Emperors Pagoda again today, Puppet appeared once more, but their cultivation level was only equivalent to the Golden Core Stage...

"It seems the Puppet replicated in the Hundred Emperors Pagoda can only possess the strongest cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage?" With a casual gesture, Zhuge Xiang the Puppet that appeared on the First Layer and continued upwards. Even with his current strength, destroying this Golden Core Stage Realm Puppet only yielded a mere forty to fifty thousand Experience Points...

A mere 40,000 to 50,000 Experience Points is indeed not much, but the value lies in the fact that a Puppet is added to each floor. Therefore, after fighting his way up to the 51st floor of the Hundred Emperors Pagoda, Zhuge Xiang actually gained more than 6 million Experience Points. Originally, he was only half a step away from the Dao Seeking Realm, but he used these 6 million Experience Points to break through that barrier.

"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained. Current cultivation level: Dao Seeking Realm First Layer." (To be continued...)
