So, all these years, they have been living on graves?

The nine great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Domain are: Yaoguang Holy Land, Sun Moon Divine Cult, Yin Yang Holy Cult, Qiankun Grotto-Heaven, Dao Yi Immortal Sect, Kaoshan Sect, Ghost Nether Mansion (deceased), Sacred Xuan Sect, and Immortal Mansion.

The nine great Immortal Sects are distributed across the three continents of the Eastern Domain, holding significant influence there.

Among them, the Immortal Mansion in Cangzhou has a unique geographical location.

It is situated at the junction of the three continents.

And today, the Immortal Mansion is celebrating a grand occasion for the entire sect.

Thirty thousand years ago today, the Immortal Mansion was founded.

The founding Ancestor established the sect in a mountain range on the edge of Cangzhou, conveniently close to the other two continents.

As it was a birthday celebration, the Immortal Mansion became lively early in the morning, with a grand banquet held for the entire sect to celebrate.

They did not suppress their cultivation realms, allowing alcohol to numb their senses and relax their bodies and minds like never before.

Normally, to maintain their status as one of the nine great Immortal Sects, they trained diligently, not daring to slack off.

But today, the Mansion Lord had personally approved an open bar, and he was paying!

As the celebration deepened, female disciples sang and danced, while male disciples accompanied them, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Even the Mansion Lord personally took the stage to perform the Heavenly Human Realm techniques, igniting the disciples' desire for Heavenly Human Realm power.

However, just as everyone was immersed in happiness...

The stone statue of the Immortal Mansion's founding Ancestor suddenly cracked.

Crack!

Cracks spread from its feet to its head, and the entire stone statue split apart.

A drunken disciple was the first to notice. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Holy crap... Ancestor... you cracked?"

After he spoke, he was punched. A tall male disciple impatiently clenched his fist and said, "Even if you're drunk, you shouldn't disrespect the Ancestor, you unfilial descendant."

He then looked at the Ancestor's stone statue, his mouth agape, "Whoa, it really cracked."

More and more people noticed the anomaly, their faces filled with shock, mouths slightly open.

The Ancestor's stone statue, a symbol of the Immortal Mansion's dignity, had actually cracked.

What... what omen was this?

The Mansion Lord narrowed his eyes, performed a divination, and exclaimed, "An inauspicious omen!"

Rumble!

Before the Mansion Lord could finish speaking, a roar suddenly erupted from beneath the earth.

The sound came from the depths of the ground, deep and powerful, like the ringing of ancient bells.

"Mansion Lord, can you divine the cause of this anomaly?"

A burly elder asked with a serious expression.

The Ancestor's stone statue had cracked, and a rumbling sound came from the depths of the earth.

Something was clearly about to happen!

The Mansion Lord performed multiple divinations, but none yielded results. He then unleashed all his Magical Power to force a calculation.

The cracking of the Ancestor's stone statue indicated that an impending event might endanger the entire Immortal Mansion, so he had to be cautious.

Pfft!

The Mansion Lord calculated with all his might, but he could not divine what was about to happen. Instead, he was repelled by a mysterious force, injuring his heart meridian, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened!

What he was trying to divine was far beyond his realm, and he had touched upon a forbidden matter!

If he hadn't stopped in time, he might have died on the spot!

"Mansion Lord!"

An elder quickly supported the Mansion Lord, his face filled with worry, "Don't push yourself."

The Mansion Lord shook his head, blood at the corner of his mouth. He struggled to look up at the sky, only to see nine-colored auspicious clouds descending from above.

"Quick... quickly go invite the Old Ancestor!"

Rumble rumble!

Before his words could even fall, the earth trembled violently, shaking intensely.

The entire mountain range where the Immortal Mansion was located began to crack, the fissures widening, reaching a hundred miles across.

Golden light, blinding to the eyes, shone from the depths of the cracks.

Accompanying the golden light, a faint yet boundless pressure emerged, terrifying beyond measure.

It was a power that seemed capable of suppressing the universe, the ultimate Great Dao!

"All disciples of the Immortal Mansion, evacuate the mountain gate and get away from here!"

"Retreat quickly!"

From the depths of the Immortal Mansion, three figures shot up into the sky, their terrifying Lin Dao Realm auras unleashed without reservation.

The old man with eyebrows reaching his waist let out an angry roar.

Instantly, everyone in the Immortal Mansion who was drunk was awakened.

"Disciples who can fly and are in the Core Formation Realm or above, lead the Meridian Opening Realm disciples to evacuate. Be quick."

The Mansion Lord shot into the sky, manifesting his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, towering and immense.

He ignored the internal injuries from the backlash and used all his Heaven and Earth power to stabilize the shaking of the area where the Immortal Mansion's mountain gate was located as much as possible.

Immediately, the three Lin Dao Realm Old Ancestors and all the elders took action, working together to stabilize the terrain.

This was to buy time for the disciples to retreat.

Inside the Immortal Mansion, chaos erupted. Meridian Opening Realm disciples, unable to fly, could only search for disciples in the Core Formation Realm or above nearby.

However, Meridian Opening Realm disciples were usually the most numerous in any sect.

It was difficult to evacuate them all at once.

"Sleeve Universe!"

One Lin Dao Realm Old Ancestor abandoned stabilizing the terrain and rushed into the Immortal Mansion, casting a Dao technique, continuously pulling the disciples who had not yet escaped into his sleeves.

After confirming everyone had evacuated, he roared, "Leave the epicenter, retreat quickly!"

At once, led by the old man with eyebrows reaching his waist, everyone rushed into the distance, turning into countless streaks of rainbow light, continuously moving away from the mountain range.

BOOM!

The massive fluctuation expanded again, the earth shook violently, and large parts of the magnificent architecture of the former Immortal Mansion collapsed, falling into the cracks.

The mountain range split open, golden light filled the sky.

Nine-colored auspicious clouds descended from the heavens.

Layers of celestial palaces appeared in the sky, totaling thirty-three layers. Above these celestial palaces were magnificent jade towers, as if inhabited by immortals. Auspicious divine beasts galloped, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The people of the Immortal Mansion who had escaped to a distance stared at the sky in horror, frozen in shock.

The old man with eyebrows reaching his waist had a grim expression as he looked at the awe-inspiring celestial palaces in the sky, his pupils trembling.

The thirty-three layers of celestial palaces exerted too much pressure!

They blotted out the sun and moon, casting down auspicious light from the Great Dao, accompanied by the booming sounds of the Great Dao's heavenly music, which shook the soul.

The mountain range where the Immortal Mansion was located, along with the tremors, completely collapsed, revealing a colossal structure within.

This is...

"A tomb?"

The people of the Immortal Mansion were dumbfounded. Wasn't that colossal structure a burial mound?

Their sect was built on top of a great tomb?

So, for all these years, they had been living on top of a grave?

As the tomb appeared, pale yellow gas began to drift out from underground, filling the air.

The Mansion Lord summoned a wisp of it and examined it carefully, then exclaimed, "Xuanhuang Qi?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and quickly summoned a wisp to examine it, finding that it was indeed Xuanhuang Qi!

Legend had it that Xuanhuang Qi was born at the beginning of creation.

At the beginning of creation, there were two energies!

The heavens had Primordial Violet Qi!

The earth had Xuanhuang Qi!

The old man with eyebrows reaching his waist stared at the tomb again and again, a suspicion he dared not believe gradually forming in his heart.

Such a scale.

Such an imposing aura.

Thirty-three layers of celestial palaces.

Xuanhuang Qi.

A faint Imperial Might in the air.

This is...

An Imperial Tomb!!

He spoke with difficulty, "This might be... the tomb of Great Emperor Xuanhuang!"

Upon hearing the guess, everyone's mouths fell open, unable to believe it.

The Immortal Mansion was built on the tomb of a Great Emperor?

How could this be so preposterous?

"The Eastern Domain is going to be in turmoil. Ancient races have been appearing frequently lately, and now an Imperial Tomb has appeared. I fear it will cause an unimaginable blood calamity!"

A Lin Dao Realm Old Ancestor frowned and said.

The appearance of an Imperial Tomb will definitely trigger a bloody battle among powerful experts.

If one can obtain any relic of a Great Emperor, it would be an astonishing fortune!

And if there were the inheritance of Great Emperor Xuanhuang within the tomb...

A blood calamity would be unavoidable, and an earth-shattering battle would erupt!

Three Old Ancestors were forced to move their Immortal Mansion away from here. Soon, there might be a bloody battle.

Meanwhile, immense fluctuations swept across the land of the Eastern Domain. Countless mortals died from the massive earthquake, and even more cultivators were astonished by the sudden turn of events.
