Ancient Son of Heaven's Tomb

Li Weiyi returned to the Mang Mountain Range and gazed into the distance at the end of the mountains, where the battle was nearing its end.

With the Mo Hai Great Priest personally rushing there, no matter how powerful Yi Bu Po's life-saving methods are, she won't be able to survive. Li Weiyi has personally experienced the power of the Seventh Realm expert; the difference in cultivation is too great, and even those wielding talismans crafted by the Transcendent One cannot escape.

The forest was still burning, billowing thick smoke.

Li Songgu picked up Li Songlin and placed him on a moss-covered stone tablet that had fallen to the ground. Beside the stone tablet, a white cloth banner fluttered like a dragon's Yin Banner, supporting a circular array of clouds that isolated the area from the outside world.

Second Phoenix, Three Phoenixes, Four Phoenixes, and Seven Phoenixes are searching through the bags of E Luotuo and the two Ghost Lords, looking for Thousand-Year Elixir and magical artifacts.

With lightning speed, Three Phoenixes swallowed E Luotuo's tower-shaped Black Iron Mace magic weapon and began to refine it using the Golden Crow Flame. Inside her stomach, the Black Iron Mace could be heard spinning intermittently.

Li Weiyi flew down to the outside of the Yin Banner formation and glanced at the four of them.

The protective Light Veil opened, and he strode inside.

"Fourth Uncle, it's me, Wei Yi, I'm back!"

"Old Li, how are you?"

Li Songgu stared at Li Songlin, who lay pale-faced on the stone tablet, then looked into the endless darkness deep within the Mang Mountain Range: "That Old Evil Woman's mental power is terrifying. She placed Death Spirit Fire within Fourth Brother's body. With the array separating them, it should be able to block it."

"Don't worry, the High Priest has arrived and can suppress her on a telekinetic level."

Li Weiyi saw Li Songlin's right hand, severed at the wrist, his sleeves and robes stained with blood, and whispered, "It was I who brought this disaster to Lizhou."

He took out a Life Medicine from his bag.

Use the spiritual flame to refine it into a medicinal liquid.

The Medicinal Fragrance was rich, the droplets of liquid were shimmering and green, and wisps of vital energy emanated from them.

Li Songgu glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense! The struggle against the Taiyin Sect belongs to all living beings and the human race. The more we regard them as a scourge, the more ferocious they become. They want everyone to fear them and dare not provoke them. To deal with such evil people, we must be even more ruthless than them. A single punch can prevent a hundred punches."

"You have done very well. The old man and the Jiu Li Tribe are proud of you. You have no idea how many martial artists from other realms have come to Lizhou to study and visit in the past two years. This is only because you defeated Sheng Wulian, which has made our reputation soar. The martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe can now hold their heads high and make friends with Mega-clan and sects."

After swallowing the Life Medicine, Li Songlin quickly regained his strength, his face flushed, and his eyelids opened.

Such a Life Medicine is considered a treasure even by Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, and its value is extremely high. When given to Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, its effects are naturally immediate.

Li Songlin's gaze fell on Li Weiyi's face. Li Weiyi looked up at the sky, genuinely happy, and smiled weakly, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I know that Weiyi, a martial arts prodigy like you absolutely cannot be timid and hesitant. You must forge ahead bravely. That's what your fourth uncle wants to see most."

Li Songgu retrieved Li Songlin's severed hand.

Li Weiyi knew very well that Old Li and Fourth Uncle didn't want him to feel guilty, so he took the severed hand. He first released his magical energy to explore the subtle meridians in his wrist and the severed hand, and then, while the Life Medicine was still working, he reattached it.

Generally speaking, one must reach the Great Longevity Realm to help martial arts practitioners reattach severed limbs.

Li Weiyi was naturally not among the ordinary.

After reconnecting the arms and immobilizing Li Songlin's entire hand, Li Weiyi said, "The leader has returned. The Taiyin Sect is not afraid of death; they can send more experts. My grudge against them has now been compounded."

Upon hearing the news of "the champion's return," Li Songgu and Li Songlin were overjoyed and their spirits soared, as if they finally had a powerful backer.

In recent years, the Jiu Li Tribe has seemed to be enjoying great success, but they know the truth of their situation. Their Hidden Ancestor remains hidden, and their leader has disappeared without a trace.

Now that the champion has returned, a new atmosphere is sure to follow.

"Swish! Swish..."

The sound of wind breaking rang out one after another as the Longevity Realm experts of the Jiu Li Tribe returned one after another.

A hundred-meter-long Spiritual Light Vermilion Bird hovers atop the mountain, a kind of magical technique for rapid travel.

In Old Zhuo strode over and laughed heartily, "That Old Evil Woman from the Taiyin Sect is truly formidable. Even with the three of us working together, we almost let her escape into the Netherworld of the Departed."

"With the High Priest personally taking action, it would be strange if she could escape. Lizhou is not a place they can come and go as they please," the Shan Li Tribe Leader sneered.

"Were they killed?" Li Songgu asked nervously.

"They have been executed."

The voice of the Mo Hai Great Priest rang out from the back of the Spiritual Light Vermilion Bird.

"Very good!"

Li Songgu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the caster was dead, the Death Spirit Fire could be easily refined.

Mo Hai Great Priest led Li Songlin ahead to the Jiu Li Divine Hall.

The Shan Li Tribe Leader, Shang Nantang, and Old Zhuo rushed back to Jiu Li City to prevent further attacks.

After collecting the four Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and the corpse of E Luotuo, Li Weiyi appeared with Li Songgu at the foot of the mountain where the previous battle had taken place, gazing at the hundred-zhang-long stone wall that had collapsed during the battle.

The stone wall was enormous, covered with Ancient Script inscriptions, and shimmering with light.

"Old Li, what exactly is this place? It's just a stone wall, yet it gives off a magnificent aura," Li Weiyi asked.

Li Songgu had already removed his mask, staring at the text, stroking his beard. "Before this, I only knew that this place was likely the tomb of an Ancient Son of Heaven, with a mysterious and complex formation in the mountains, quite dangerous, and one of the important forbidden zones in the Mang Mountain Range."

"Looking at the sacrificial text on the collapsed stone wall, I am certain it is the tomb of Ancient Son of Heaven. But why is there an array of light appearing? Logically speaking, after countless years, the array should have exhausted its Spiritual Qi, leaving only the Formation Script and its power greatly reduced."

He was extremely knowledgeable in Ancient Script and could understand the contents of sacrificial texts.

"Is there a blood crystal vein underground? Or perhaps, Heaven Law Earth Spring within the tomb?" Li Weiyi speculated.

"The Mang Mountain Range are indeed a major source of blood crystals, but such a dazzling array of light is something I've never seen before."

Seeing Li Weiyi's eager expression, Li Songgu quickly said, "Digging into such an Ancient Son of Heaven's tomb is extremely dangerous. No one knows what's inside. It's better to Coffin Retrieval from the Sea of Blood. Some of the Otherworldly Coffin in the Blood Sea Coffin Dock contain treasures no less valuable than those in an emperor's coffin."

Li Weiyi agreed, after all, treasures of the Immortal Law Star level could be found in the Otherworldly Coffin.

Suppressing his curiosity, he said instead, "I've met Master Yao!"

Li Songgu lit up with joy, and he asked excitedly, "She's back? When did she get back?"

Li Weiyi smiled, glanced at the deep, dark forest in the distance, and then looked at Li Songgu: "Master Yao has confessed everything, and even implicated you. Now, how should we end this?"

Li Songgu slowly wiped away his smile, his expression remaining unchanged, and said solemnly, "I suddenly realized something: the Taiyin Sect is after me. And who knows what other calamities might follow? What should we do?"

Li Weiyi didn't harbor much resentment to begin with, and upon hearing this, he could only mutter "cunning old fox" under his breath, having nothing more to say.

Wearing a veil as white as water, Yao Qingxuan emerged from the forest, bathed in moonlight, her feet casting shadows of branches. Her gaze fell upon Li Weiyi, her heart still pounding, not yet fully calm. "When do we depart?"

"Set off for what? Where to?" Li Songgu asked blankly.

Li Weiyi knew, of course, that Yao Qingxuan had been provoked and had made the decision to rush to the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. She was always proud, and her cultivation speed was among the best in the Lingxiao Shengjing; she would not accept such a setback.

Deliberately ignoring Li Songgu's curiosity and eagerness, Li Weiyi said, "Let's go to the Jiu Li Divine Hall first and discuss the quotas properly. Since we're making a special trip, we should naturally bring more people."

"What quota? I am not air, but the Hidden Lord of this generation," Li Songgu said.

Yao Qingxuan nodded slightly, seemingly not taking the words "Hidden Lord" to heart, but was already thinking about the items and resources he needed to bring.

Li Weiyi released the Great Phoenix, which summoned a swarm of insects to clean up the traces of the battle, not wanting to reveal the secret of his greatly improved cultivation for the time being.

After the three left.

A group of people from a certain Immortal Dynasty in the Central Land stepped onto a bridge of misty clouds and arrived at the foot of a hundred-zhang-high stone wall.

Some people looked at the stone wall and stepped forward to study the formation and Ancient Script.

Someone was watching the direction the three of them left in.

"What an amazing young man! He has actually mastered the fifth level of Emperor Technique. His lightning magic is already quite advanced," a middle-aged man in silver armor exclaimed in admiration.

A young martial artist in a Daoist robe Wooden Sword on his back, said, "Cultivating the fifth level of an Emperor-level technique is no simple feat. But what's even more remarkable is that he has no weaknesses."

"Cultivators throughout the world either focus on martial arts, refine their mental power, excel in escape techniques, possess strong defenses, or temper their bodies a hundred times... In short, they all first cultivate one direction to its peak, while the others become secondary."

"But he seems strong in every aspect. Facing such an invincible opponent, it's very difficult for martial artists of the same level to escape alive. Defeat means death."

Prince Jing Xuan nodded slightly. "To advance in all aspects simultaneously, the speed of cultivation will inevitably be greatly affected. Without a hundred years of arduous cultivation, no matter how high one's talent, it is impossible."

"He must be a prodigy at the Life Realm level who has cultivated for at least two cycles of sixty years," someone said, affirming Li Weiyi's exceptional talent.

"It's the tomb of Ancient Son of Heaven! Moreover, the formation has come to life. This tomb is rooted like a nail into the immortal Immortal Dao Dragon Vein of Yingzhou. As the dragon vein revives, it absorbs the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi, and the formation operates automatically."

The Old Man holding the precious pearl spoke.

His mental power was extremely high; he could see through the mysteries of the Ancient Son of Heaven's tomb at a glance and understand the underground situation.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the stone wall.

The reason they came from the Central Land to the Far South of Yingzhou was because they heard that the Immortal Dao Dragon Vein had been revived, and they came to investigate the situation.

The reason for coming to Lizhou was both to pay homage to the ancestors and to fulfill an imperial order to check whether the Mang Mountain Range had also begun to recover.

The Old Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty never forgot the Mang Mountain Range and the Blood Sea Coffin Dock. He repeatedly mentioned their past connection to the Immortal Dynasty and instructed them to keep a low profile and not to bring disaster upon the Immortal Dynasty.

The young Daoist carrying the Wooden Sword said, "I've inquired. A few years ago, a major event did indeed occur in the Mang Mountain Range. Near the Blood Sea Coffin Dock, the sky was filled with the Immortal Realm clouds, opening up a celestial realm that lasted for a long time, called Immortal Burial Town. Subsequently, the inner lake called East Sea saw the revival of its Immortal Dao Dragon Vein."

The Old Man holding the precious pearl said, "The East Sea, the Huangjiang River, and the Mang Mountain Range are all connected by the earth's veins, originating from the Blood Sea Coffin Dock, a vortex of dragons absorbing energy from all realms. Since this Ancient Son of Heaven's tomb can already absorb the magical energy from the earth's veins, the Mang Mountain Range's revival is only a matter of time!"

"Find a few members of the Jiu Li Tribe and have them take us to the Blood Sea Coffin Dock. Be sure to treat them with respect. A race that can sign a bloodline pact with the Departed Spirit Mist Domain and the Blood Sea Coffin Dock is definitely not simple; they might be the place the Emperor mentioned that should not be provoked."

Only the people of the Jiu Li Tribe can pass through the Departed Spirit Mist Domain and the Sea of Blood to Coffin Retrieval; this is the blood pact of their race. It's as if their Old Ancestor have secured a legacy of wealth and honor for their descendants to be passed down through generations.
