Opportunities, Treasure, Hidden Tomb Realm
In the Divine Moon Hall, Divine General Qiongyu looked at the conspicuous fourth place on the ranking list with a gloomy expression.
The maids and attendants around them didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of offending Divine General Qiongyu at this moment.
However, the Divine General Qiongyu opened his folding fan and smiled:
"It's a pity, it was just a little short."
"It seems that this time I was just a little short of being destined to meet Fairy Lianyin."
His words revived the atmosphere in the Divine Moon Hall.
"Qiong Yu's sincere feelings will surely be known by Fairy Lianyin, and she may even take the initiative to come and meet her."
"The third one is rather tactless, but fortunately Brother Qiong Yu is very magnanimous."
"I wonder which nouveau riche it is. If Brother Qiong Yu hadn't come in such a hurry, the outcome would have been uncertain."
"Enough talk, let's drink!" Divine General Qiongyu laughed. "There's also encore music, so don't miss it, everyone."
However, in another room.
Divine General Qiongyu's primordial spirit has already found one of the deputy tower masters of the Supreme Truth Pavilion.
"Is it possible to trace his background?"
"Your Highness Qiong Yu." The deputy head of the building's expression changed:
"I've already overstepped my bounds by issuing passes twice. If I dare to check on the guests again..."
If the original poster knows this, they probably won't let me off the hook.
"Don't worry," Qiong Yu said. "Brother Dao is just keeping an eye on things for me. Just let me know which passage he takes after he leaves."
"Even if something happened, it occurred outside the Supreme Truth Pavilion, so how can I blame you?"
"Your Highness Qiong Yu," the deputy head of the building couldn't help but advise, "The third-ranked person on the list possesses such great wealth that they are surely not to be trifled with. Why create more karma for a momentary squabble?"
"Do you think I'm a sore loser?" Qiong Yu said calmly. "Precisely because he possesses a great deal of wealth and has a powerful background, I'm going to investigate him."
"I was ordered to come to the Yellow Silent Extinction World to establish my power, and I know almost everyone in the Supreme Truth Pavilion who has some influence."
"This person is deliberately targeting me today, always winning by a little bit. Of course, I need to find out whether he is friend or foe."
"Brother Dao, if you help me this time, I can take you out of the Great Yellow World to see it."
"Perhaps you have a chance to survive the Great Destruction."
Upon hearing this, the deputy leader's eyes lit up. He was a native being, and even if he became a god, there was still a sword hanging over his head—the repeated Great Destruction that had occurred in the Nirvana Realm.
He knew that Divine General Qiongyu a powerful figure and that there was some possibility that he was saying this, so he immediately agreed.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on things for Your Highness."
"Zhao Xing, come with me to see Fairy Lianyin."
"Can I go too?"
"Why can't we go?" Qing Yuzi remarked, discussing the unusual.
"The more people who know, the more karma Lotus Sound Divine General not mind?"
"She is True God who Heaven and Earth Attainment, and she doesn't care about these things at all," Qing Yuzi said.
"True God?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. The Lotus Sound Divine General was actually Tribulationless True God, not Free God.
No wonder he could be so high-profile in the Yellow Silent Extinction World. No True God is to be underestimated, let alone the Lotus Sound Divine General has a powerful background.
"If you go with her, you must be discussing confidential matters. How can I listen in?" Zhao Xing declined again, showing he was quite self-aware.
The treasure and opportunity that Lao Qing found must have taken a lot of effort and involved a huge investment. How could I, who did nothing, possibly feel comfortable doing anything?
"Why are you being so formal with me?" Qing Yuzi laughed. "If it weren't for you, I would only be decaying in the Profound Yellow World, let alone becoming a god. I still remember this cause and effect clearly."
"You have already given me the World Opening Divine Stone and arranged for me to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm, with the Gu Luo River as my tutor."
"Hahaha, how could my life, Qing Yuzi's life, be so cheap?" Qing Yuzi laughed. "I was poor back then, so this is all I could give you."
"As you know, the World Opening Divine Stone is not particularly rare in the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion. As for the Primordial Beginning Realm and teaching on behalf of others, those are just side tasks and nothing special."
"Besides, regarding that matter, without your tip-off, how could I have achieved such a great gain?"
Qing Yuzi shushed, "At that time, the Bookless Divine King City reacted extremely quickly. The moment I left, it had already sealed off all suspicious spacetime passages."
"I have almost no other means to send the message back to the Third Era of the Desolate Territory."
"Even a second's worth of message transmission each night makes a world of difference."
"Intelligence has a time limit; without you, I wouldn't have received such a high Contribution Points."
"I have benefited from this."
"Although the Human Race's higher-ups gave you Contribution Points reward, that was given by the Human Race's higher-ups, I haven't given you one yet—wait, why have you become so shameless?" Qing Yuzi was a little surprised to see Zhao Xing making excuses.
"Does becoming a god raise one's moral standards? That shouldn't be the case."
Zhao Xing: "
I never expected that my attempt to avoid Bai Lao Qing would result in him giving me a sarcastic remark.
Damn it, is this how I am in Lao Qing's eyes?
"One thing at a time."
Even if you feel I've done you a huge favor, a token gesture is enough.
"Breaking news is my duty in public, and helping a friend in private," Zhao Xing said solemnly. "I don't take advantage of my friends."
The treasure is nowhere to be found yet. Lao Qing has already spent so much money just Lotus Sound Divine General.
Although Zhao Xing was interested, he couldn't just accept Lao Qing's benefits like that.
Qing Yuzi pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, how about you join us?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll drag you down?"
"Hahaha." Qing Yuzi burst into laughter:
"Zhao Xing, the Immeasurable True God dared to let you into the Beautiful Nirvana Realm proves that your strength is definitely not just at the Late Divine Soldier. You have the strength to cooperate with me."
"Besides, your luck is far stronger than mine. Treasure hunting is all about chance. With you by my side, I can turn bad luck into good, and my chances of winning are higher, so my investment won't go down the drain."
"To be honest, my joy at seeing you goes beyond the joy of meeting a friend or relative in a foreign land."
"Even if you don't show up, I'll still be looking for someone to collaborate with."
"I'm not confident at all on my own."
Qing Yuzi pondered and said, "You don't need to contribute money for now; I have plenty more. You just need to contribute your labor. Given our friendship, we don't need a complicated distribution plan. If there's any profit, we can split it 50/50."
Zhao Xing had always wanted to join, since it was a closed-loop process.
Having said all that, Qing Yuzi had no reason to be coy anymore.
"Alright, then I'll join."
Qing Yuzi smiled slightly.
That's more like it!
When he returned to the Xuanling Star Domain from the Profound Yellow World, Zhao Xing played an indispensable role and brought him considerable shock.
Qing Yuzi firmly believed that Zhao Xing was his lucky star.
No one is as reliable as Zhao Xing when it comes to teaming up with others.
In terms of both trust and friendship, there is no more suitable partner than Zhao Xing.
Now that he's joined, Zhao Xing needs to know what's going on.
"We still have some time, let me tell you the whole story first."
"Go into my black ring and say it."
Qing Yuzi took out a black ring and a mechanical puppet that looked exactly like Qing Yuzi.
"Whoosh~"
The two crawled into the ring, while the outside of the ring was swallowed by the puppet.
The World Ring contains a vast landmass.
Besides the standard vitality and common supplies, the most eye-catching thing on land is a black Realm Transmission.
"Hmm? This is... the Hidden Tomb Realm?"
"That's right." Qing Yuzi nodded. "It is indeed the Hidden Tomb Realm created by the True History Faction."
"You actually managed to get your hands on such a good thing." Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.
The Hidden Tomb Realm is a rather unique existence among the Realm Transmission.
Zhao Xing has only seen it once in his life, which was the Realm Transmission where he obtained the Time Page in Moon Luo Cemetery.
It is both a tomb and Realm Transmission, concealing some unknown history.
The Hidden Tomb Realm is one of the strongest means of maintaining secrecy.
To learn a certain secret, one must enter the Hidden Tomb Realm and complete a specific test or meet certain requirements.
Qing Yuzi couldn't tell Zhao Xing the specific truth, because he knew it himself but couldn't bring himself to say it.
The true spirit of the Divine General is so powerful that even it cannot be spoken of, which shows how secretive it is.
"I discovered this Hidden Tomb Realm by chance while exploring a secret realm in the Yellow Silent Extinction World after exchanging an opportunity from the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion."
"Afterwards, I fulfilled the requirements of the Hidden Tomb Realm at a great cost, and then moved it into the black ring, which I carry with me at all times."
"Go inside and you'll see what it is."
"Don't waste your time looking at anything else; much of it is useless information and not worth your time. Just go to the central Grand Historian Palace, find that book, and gain the 'right to know.' You can ask me anything else after that."
"Okay." After all, Qing Yuzi had studied it for a long time, so Zhao Xing nodded and then entered the black Realm Transmission.
Because of the different flow of time, Zhao Xing spent more than ten years inside, but in Qing Yuzi's eyes, he only went for three days before coming out. "You saw it?" Qing Yuzi asked expectantly. "Yes, I saw it." Zhao Xing was also a little excited. "You're really lucky."
Qing Yuzi came to the Yellow Silent Extinction World mainly to hide and escape.
Secondly, one can exchange information about opportunities from the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion and explore the area along the way.
However, by sheer luck, they discovered this Hidden Tomb Realm.
"We were just lucky!" Qing Yuzi corrected with a smile.
"However, in retrospect, the period around the time I broke through to the Divine General level should be considered the time when my luck was at its peak in all my lifetimes."
A person's fortune varies, and not everyone can control it.
Zhao Xing also admired Lao Qing to some extent. Qing Yuzi was definitely the kind of genius who was good at seizing opportunities and maximizing them.
"Now that you know, we can talk about the Hidden Tomb Realm," Qing Yuzi asked.
Zhao Xing listened quietly. He had only gained access to the book that Lao Qing had mentioned.
As for anything else, he didn't explore anything, and didn't even know who the tomb's owner was.
"The Hidden Tomb Realm is a burial-style Realm Transmission, and the tomb's occupant is named the God King 'Zhang Yue'."
"She is a native life form born in the Yellow Silent Extinction World."
"She survived many generations of tribulations and even served as an official in a certain divine kingdom in the Nirvana Realm. I don't know exactly how long she lived."
"Because she is not well-known in the Yellow Silent Extinction World and keeps a very low profile."
"What I exchanged from the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion was a [mysterious tomb] related to her."
Zhao Xing had never even heard of the Divine King Zhang Yue.
However, the Yellow Silent Extinction World is a very special level. Although it is full of destruction, it is not suitable for survival.
But it has given birth to many powerful beings and established many divine kingdoms.
For example, the current Yi Divine Kingdom was established by a God King.
The Yellow Silent Extinction World does not experience only one Great Destruction; it collapses and is destroyed almost every generation.
That terrifying catastrophe was enough to erase all traces; countless races, and even divine kingdoms, would perish in Destruction.
Of course, some powerful individuals were able to withstand it, such as the Lord of the Kingdom of the Yi Divine Kingdom, who experienced five "Great Destruction".
He destroyed it time and time again, and then rebuilt his kingdom time and time again.
However, according to the Immeasurable True God, this Yi God King will eventually die in the final Great Destruction.
That was the moment the world ended, and since then, the Yellow Silent Extinction World has disappeared.
"If Divine King Zhang Yue had established a divine kingdom, it would be easier to investigate her, but she is so low-key that it's really impossible to find out anything about her," Qing Yuzi said.
"Even a dubious tomb related to her cost me a lot of money to exchange for it."
"I never expected that I would actually find this Realm Transmission."
"Are there any other treasures inside the Realm Transmission?" Zhao Xing asked.
"No." Qing Yuzi shook his head. "Throughout the entire Realm Transmission, they are all relatively ordinary items. The most precious one is the book left behind by the Divine King Zhang Yue, whose material has reached the level of a mid-grade divine artifact."
Zhao Xing: "Having this book is enough. If we can find the information in the book, then we will definitely gain a lot."
Throughout the entire Realm Transmission of Divine King Zhang Yue, the only description is of her relationship with a God King named "Yu Heng".
"Divine King Yu Heng is an outsider, not a being from the Great Yellow World."
"When Divine King Yu Heng traveled to the Yellow World, he met Zhang Yue and spent a long time with her, even experiencing the Destruction together." "From Divine King Zhang Yue's records, it can be seen that she admired Divine King Yu Heng."
"After going through three tribulations together, the two developed a very deep bond, but Divine King Zhang Yue and Divine King Yu Heng did not become Dao Companion."
"There are no spells or secrets in the book at all; it's just a record of the little things that happened between the Divine King Zhang Yue and the God King Yu."
"You could even say that it is a memoir of the Divine King Zhang Yue, only it has been made into Preaching Book."
"The reason this book is considered a treasure is primarily because Divine King Yu Heng is dead, and through this book, one can find Divine King Yu Heng body!"
Zhao Xing asked doubtfully, "How can you be so sure that Divine King Yu Heng still has a corpse? Couldn't he have simply dissolved into his essence?"
Qing Yuzi shook his head. "Because the memoirs mention that the powerful artifact that Divine King Yu Heng left to Divine King Zhang Yue still retains its great power."
"Sensing the passing of Divine King Yu Heng, Divine King Zhang Yue turned these relics into a Cenotaph."
Zhao Xing: "Two questions."
Qing Yuzi: "You speak."
"First, how can we find the place where Divine King Yu Heng died using the relics?"
Second, where is the Cenotaph?
Qing Yuzi pondered for a moment and said, "Let me answer your first question first."
According to the book of the Divine King Zhang Yue, the Divine King Yu Heng has almost completely Divine Concealment in order to help her survive the Great Destruction.
"Only the Divine King Zhang Yue knew of his existence, and of course, we know it now too."
"Because of the deep-seated Divine Concealment, it also means that we will not go astray. As long as we find the artifact of power of Divine King Yu Heng, we can follow it straight to Divine King Yu Heng."
Zhao Xing nodded. "Then where is the Crown-and-Clothes House that the Divine King Zhang Yue established for him?"
Qing Yuzi laughed and said, "That's why I'm throwing money around in Stormwind City."
"The Divine King Zhang Yue has set up many decoy tombs. You have dug up tombs in Moon Luo Cemetery, so you should know that many tombs are very well hidden, and there are even tombs where the living moved."
"If it weren't for the numerous pieces of evidence in the Hidden Tomb Realm, I wouldn't have bothered to find Cenotaph hidden by a God King."
"I deduce from the book that this Crown-and-Clothes House is very likely located within the territory of the Yi Divine Kingdom."
"However, I cannot determine the coordinates, nor do I know how much time has passed since the death of the Divine King Zhang Yue."
"Many of the place names and locations she mentions in her book have become unrecognizable after being Destruction multiple times."
"I sought out Fairy Lianyin mainly to obtain some information related to the Divine King Zhang Yue from her."
"I need additional clues to help me find that Crown-and-Clothes House."
After hearing what Qing Yuzi had to say, Zhao Xing was speechless.
Judging from the incident involving the Space-Time Incense Technique, Qing Yuzi and he eventually found the Cenotaph and obtained the Key of Inheritance from it.
But when Qing Yuzi first obtained this Hidden Tomb Realm, the so-called treasure of the God King, it was all a complete illusion.
There are too many problems to solve!
Even now, objectively speaking, it's unlikely that we can get any clues from Lotus Sound Divine General.
However, Qing Yuzi was willing to spend money and gamble on this elusive hope.
"Lao Qing succeeded in the end, but he also died trapped inside the body of Divine King Yu Heng. Judging from his description, there were other people who obtained the Key of Inheritance."
"I wonder if we can save them," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He didn't know why he didn't go in at the last minute, but instead left.
In conclusion, given the current situation, it remains difficult to predict Qing Yuzi's ultimate fate.
Getting in may be easy, but getting out is difficult!
If Lao Qing's situation is similar to that of the Penglai Divine General on the Cosmic Ark, then there's no way he can escape!
"It's almost time." Qing Yuzi suddenly frowned. "There are maids knocking on the door. We should go see Lotus Sound Divine General."
"Hmm." Zhao Xing followed Qing Yuzi and took out the black ring.
On his way to see Lotus Sound Divine General, Zhao Xing was somewhat absent-minded.
If Lao Qing ultimately faces the situation of the Penglai Divine General, then this treasure hunt will have been a mistake.
So, can I change his fate?
"Elder, Elder!"
Zhao Xing diverted his attention to touch the World Core and entered the Internal World.
On the Boundless Continent, Bowei remained in the courtyard, refusing to Realm Transmission.
"Elder, something of life-or-death importance has happened!"
Now that they were no longer in Divine Mechanism City, Zhao Xing felt that Bowei should respond to him.
Sure enough, after calling out several times, Bowei finally emerged from the Realm Transmission.
"Elder, you've finally come out."
Bowei was dressed as a Fate Master, but his expression was rather unpleasant:
"I already know what you want to ask about Ya. I told you not to contact Qing Yuzi, why didn't you listen?"
"You two troublemakers together, the mess you create is just too much!"
Yaqi was taken aback. Bowei knew what he was going to ask.
"So the answer is."
"The answer is no," Bowei shook his head and said, "Qing Yuzi is already trapped, and the outcome of sending the Space-Time Incense Technique to you is Predetermined."
"I won't close the loop; I'd rather suffer the backlash than change anything?"
Bowei laughed and said, "I told you to read more books about time and space, but it seems you haven't improved at all."
"Do you know what a closed loop is?"
"What you're doing isn't a closed loop in time, but Fate Loop!"
"Its ending is unique and Predetermined."
Asian companies were taken aback; Fate Loop?
"Although I don't know what the treasure is, or where he's trapped," Bowei said sarcastically, "Your search for the treasure will be exceptionally smooth from now on."
"To lead you to that ending extremely quickly."
"Of course, you'll suffer some backlash if you withdraw, since you're not trapped."
"The Ring of Fate belongs to Qing Yuzi. In the closed-loop event, you only had a part of your fate's thread Entanglement around its ring."
"What will happen to Qing Yuzi if I leave?" Yaqi asked.
"Qing Yuzi will still enter that place, but the backlash will be more severe," Bowei said calmly.
What if it gets worse?
"Do you remember the situation where you were kicked out of the World Transfer Tower?" Bowei asked coldly. "That was the spacetime backlash simulated by the World Transfer Tower, merely a theoretical simulation of the most minor consequences."
"And that's how I consumed a lot of my Realm Spirit Points."
"The real situation is far more complicated and dangerous than this."
"Assuming you don't complete the closed loop, Qing Yuzi is doomed."
"So stop talking childish nonsense about changing his fate," Bowei sneered. "Now we just have to see what the closed loop point is like. If we can save him, great; if not, we can only blame his fate."
Yaqi communicated with Bowei in the Internal World through her thoughts, while her body, along with Qing Yuzi, followed the maid's guidance to a secluded garden.
In the center of the garden stands a pavilion, known as the Lianyin Tower.
"Your Highnesses, Fairy Lianyin is waiting inside."
After the maid finished speaking, she quietly left the courtyard.
Yaqi and Qing Yuzi then crossed the threshold and entered the attic.
Inside the attic, Grotto-Heaven.
Stepping over, you arrive at a spacious banquet hall.
Inside, there is a jade screen that emits a faint divine light, and the interplay of light and shadow creates figures that demonstrate some ancient dances.
Next to the jade disc was a display case of treasures, ranging in rank from low to high. They weren't necessarily weapons, but they were all ingenious items. Yaqi had broadened his horizons in Divine Mechanism City, but most of the things here were things he had never seen before.
The ceiling is a starry sky, with starlight falling on the two artificial mountains in the living room. The waterfall and starlight blend together, like a galaxy.
After passing through several caves, the Milky Way collided with the mountain walls, creating a unique melody.
As they approached, the river slowed down, and small bamboo rafts carrying food boxes floated by, appearing before the guests. Small flowers Little Grass surrounded the area, emitting a fragrance, but not an overpowering one.
Everything here is expensive, yet it doesn't feel extravagant; the details are also very well arranged.
Both Zhao Qi and Qing Yuzi, the two Agricultural Official, were able to appreciate the principles of harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural order.
However, both of them were worldly-wise and quickly moved away from the light. At this moment Lotus Sound Divine General also stepped out from behind the screen at just the right time.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists. Please take a seat."
"Greetings Fairy Lianyin."
Yaqi and Qing Yuzi returned the greeting and then took their seats.
Lotus Sound Divine General: "The layout of the building is not of interest to you two fellow Daoists. If you don't mind, I would like to get straight to the point and ask you to state your purpose."
The aliases of Qing Yuzi and Yaqi had already been announced, but at this moment Lotus Sound Divine General did not offer any further Guest Qi greetings.
Because she could tell that Han Bing (Yaqi) and Tian Fan (Qing Yuzi) only wanted to achieve their goal quickly.
Qing Yuzi then cupped his hands and said, "Since you are so straightforward, I will speak frankly."
"I am very interested in the suspected tomb of the Divine King Zhang Yue in the Yellow World."
"But I am not very familiar with this information, so I would like to ask the fairy for guidance."
"If you were only interested in the tomb of Ya Suoyi, I'm sure Brother Tian Fan wouldn't have gone to such lengths," said Lotus Sound Divine General a smile.
"But it's quite a coincidence that I just got some clues that happen to be related to her."
"And it's also somewhat special, which should satisfy your curiosity, fellow Daoist."
This is clearly an excuse. There must be a powerful force behind Lotus Sound Divine General, and they probably already have this information!
Qing Yuzi and Qi suddenly perked up. "Oh, I wonder what level of fox it is, and what's so special about it?"
Zhang Yue's suspected tombs were also classified into different levels.
The highest level, of course, is the burial place of the remains of the Divine King Zhang Yue, which is the true tomb.
The next level is divided into seven stars based on the difficulty of opening them.
The Lotus Sound Divine General opened his hand, and an octagonal divination plate appeared.
"The probability of it being a seven-star rating is over 80%."
"What's special is that it's located within the Realm Transmission."
Upon hearing this, Yaqi was somewhat taken aback.
It is a seven-star level and is located within the Realm Transmission.
Is Zhao another Hidden Tomb?
Could it be that they found the Cenotaph of Divine King Yu Heng in one go?
Qing Yuzi calmly awaited the next words from Lotus Sound Divine General.
Because she could tell that the Lotus Sound Divine General given her a Fate Box, which is usually used by Fate Master to preserve the results of their calculations.
It's usually not worth having Fate Master deduce a tomb, because it's designed to lure tomb raiders; there are only some traps inside, no real treasures.
Since the Fate Master is imprisoned, why don't Lotus Sound Divine General and the people behind him go and search for him?
As expected, Lotus Sound Divine General added, "Another special feature of it is that its location is rather complicated."
"The biggest challenge is the difficulty in locating the location and confirming the coordinates, making it easy to get lost."
"And once you get lost, you'll likely encounter all sorts of disasters."
"Its maneuvering is too difficult."
"Even Divine General cannot guarantee safety."
"Fellow Daoists, you may consider carefully whether you wish to examine the remaining contents of the Fate Disk."
Upon hearing this, Yaqi was at a loss for words.
Lost? Unable to confirm coordinates?
This might be difficult for others, but with the panel positioning, it's nothing!
Qi and Qing Yuzi exchanged a glance, then said, "We'll take them."
