Too Much Quiet Is Not a Good Thing!

Sometimes being too quiet isn't a good thing.

And it happened in such a strange place as the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb.

The absence of danger is the greatest danger!

Because there's absolutely no idea what will happen next.

There's no way to deal with it.

Right now, Ye Jing has no idea how to deal with this Prohibition.

There wasn't even an entrance to the next layer of Prohibition.

Do we really have to cut down all the sword grass here?

If it's a slash, then using all your strength is possible.

But with so many here, how long would it take him to kill them all?

"Young Master, shall I descend to the ground and take a look?"

Qiuyue also knew that the current situation had reached a stalemate and that something had to be done to break the deadlock.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer. I'll cut some open first and see!" Ye Jing didn't let Qiuyue go down rashly. They had been flying in mid-air and were unfamiliar with the environment in the grass. If there was any real danger...

It would take him some effort to cut through these sword-like grasses.

The words had barely left his mouth.

The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand shone brightly.

The second move of the Grass Character Sword Art.

Radiant Spring.

The sword intent is like the vigorous growth of spring grass.

Full of ambition!

Slash directly at the sword grass below!

Sensing the threat, the soft sword grass instantly straightened up, beginning to resist Ye Jing's sword intent!

"Clang!"

Another crisp, metallic sound rang out.

This time, the sword grass did not return to its original state; instead, it was severed at the root by Ye Jing's Sword Qi.

The severed sword grass revealed its emerald green stem, just like any other grass.

But both Ye Jing and Qiuyue paused in their breathing.

Because at the base of these sword grasses, there are many skeletons lying on the ground.

It seems that infinite years have been lost.

Ye Jing and Qiuyue frowned, never expecting such a scene to be beneath the grass.

"Young Master, what should we do next? These skeletons look like they've been dead for a long time!" Qiuyue was a little hesitant to go down, not because she was timid.

There must be a reason why these skeletons died down there.

Going down rashly would be no different from suicide.

"Keep cutting!"

Ye Jing continued to swing his sword.

Now that an unexpected situation has arisen, it is even more important to investigate the matter thoroughly.

One Sword Qi after another slashed towards these sword-like plants.

These sword-like plants, much like crops, began to slowly wither and fall!

What was revealed were even more skeletons.

Initial estimates suggest there are already over a hundred bodies!

A serious look flashed in Ye Jing's eyes.

The sheer number shattered one of Ye Jing's suspicions.

Those people might be cultivators who came seeking fortuitous opportunity during the previous major Heaven and Earth Cataclysm.

But such a large number is a bit unusual!

Let alone how many people could enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb, even if they did, it would be impossible for them to get this far!

There's only one Great Evolution Dao Talisman; it's impossible for so many people to enter such a deep Prohibition.

He and Qiuyue were only able to enter this place because of the Great Evolution Dao Talisman.

The Great Evolution Dao Talisman can greatly weaken the power within the Prohibition.

However, the power of the Great Evolution Dao Talisman can only cover a maximum of two people.

Last time it was him and the Sword Sect Master, this time it's Qiuyue.

Otherwise, even with his strength, it would be difficult for him to cut through these sword grasses.

Could it be that all of these hundred-plus people are experts with strength at the God Realm Sixth Heaven or above?

That lineup was terrifying; which Imperial Clan could possibly command such a force?

Ye Jing guessed that he was standing on the sword grass, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and continued to break the sword grass on the spot.

Qiuyue, meanwhile, was using her Spiritual Qi to transport these sword herbs—they were all treasures!

However, Qiuyue tries to avoid touching these skeletons, fearing something might happen.

Before long, Ye Jing had cut off a small pile, and Qiuyue had also filled a Storage Bag.

However, neither of them seemed happy.

Besides large areas of exposed ground, there were even more skeletons.

From the initial estimate of a little over a hundred, it's now going to be over a thousand, or even more!

They were densely packed together!

The stark white bones seemed to emanate a chilling aura, sending shivers down one's spine!

Thousands of people died in this wilderness.

Ye Jing narrowed his eyes; something was definitely wrong here!

"Young Master, what should we do with these sword herbs? My Storage Bag is already full."

Qiuyue, holding the Storage Bag, asked.

"Keep packing, I have Storage Bag!" Ye Jing said casually, then tossed several Storage Bag to Qiuyue from his pocket!

This is what he prepared.

Since the Sage Scholar incident and the Demon Slaying Mountain incident, Ye Jing has realized the importance of Storage Bag.

Having extra of this stuff is definitely not a bad thing!

Then he looked at the sword grass, which was half a person tall, wondering when it would ever end.

However, since no danger is coming, we might as well take these sword herbs.

It's all money!

But Ye Jing soon realized something was wrong.

These skeletons didn't appear to have been randomly laid out on the ground.

It follows a pattern!

Ye Jing then forcefully cleaved forward a distance in each of the four directions.

He understood!

The density of skulls follows a pattern.

There seems to be a mysterious circle; the closer you get to the circle, the higher the density of skulls!

Where is the center of that circle?

Ye Jing looked in one direction, his eyes now fixed on a goal.

"Qiuyue, follow me!"

"Yes, young master!"

Qiuyue didn't know what the young master was going to do, but just following along was enough!

Every now and then, Ye Jing would cut down some sword grass to check the distribution of the skeletons on the ground!

The more Ye Jing thought about the sword, the heavier his heart felt.

Because he had mentally estimated that the death toll would be in the tens of thousands!

This place looks like a mass grave!

Finally!

After another storage box was filled.

Ye Jing finally found the center.

Here, the skeletons are practically stacked on top of each other!

Sword grass can only grow from the gaps between these bones.

Under the skull!

It appears to be a patch of red soil!

This soil Taiyi from that of other places.

"Looks like I still have to deal with these skeletons!" Ye Jing took a deep breath. Finally, a different situation had arisen, and he had to take the risk!

'Radiant Spring!'

Today, the Sword Qi slashed directly at those densely packed skeletons.

Ye Jing had expected there would be obstacles.

But those skeletons instantly turned to dust!

And below the skull.

Some black flowers grow there, and the petals of these flowers, like the stem of the sword grass, are shaped like swords!

However, these flowers lacked any vitality, appearing lifeless as if they were dead.

"That's Sword Flower!"

Ye Jing looked at the black flowers, his eyes initially filled with joy, but then quickly revealed a look of doubt.

Sword Flower, like sword grass, are excellent materials for forging fine swords, and the effect of Sword Flower is much better than that of sword grass!

More importantly, the Sword Flower can serve as a catalyst, allowing people to comprehend the Sword Lotus!

Sword Flower, like sword grass, have become extinct. I never expected to see Sword Flower here!

But Sword Flower's condition is too strange!

It should be full of vitality, just like the sword grass!

But why are these flowers so lifeless, looking like they're not good things at all?

Suddenly, Qiuyue's scream rang out, interrupting Ye Jing's thoughts!

"Young master, the skeleton has moved!"
