Ascension to Immortality through Corpse Liberation

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei subconsciously turned around and glanced at the river of blood that divided the tomb into a nine-square grid.

"I suppose those 990,000 people didn't make it out of here alive?"

Lin Wuchi nodded and said, "This river of blood is formed from the blood of those 990,000 people."

"Tsk tsk." Ma Feifei shook his head and sighed, "That Emperor Chu the Conqueror really doesn't care about human life!"

For some reason, Ma Feifei suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to inquire about these past events anymore, so she urged, "Let's go in quickly."

"Okay," Lin Wuchi replied, and together with Li Beiguo walked to the stone gate and began to study how to open it.

Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang stood at the back, looking at the dragon-shaped imperial tomb with utter boredom.

"Do you think the one alive inside might be Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror?" Ma Feifei asked.

Yun Qingyang thought for a moment and replied, "The aura is terrifying; it must be him."

"So, if you encounter him later, do you think you can beat him?" Ma Feifei asked.

Yun Qingyang tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Probably not."

Goodbye!

Ma Feifei clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned to leave.

"But there's no problem if Transform," Yun Qingyang added from behind.

"Could you please finish your sentence in one sentence next time?" Ma Feifei turned around and said irritably.

Yun Qingyang rolled her eyes and said, "Coward."

"Can you call that a coward?" Ma Feifei was a little unconvinced and was about to argue when suddenly a rumbling sound came. He turned his head and saw that the stone door was opening from bottom to top.

"Shopkeeper, it's open!" Lin Wuchi said excitedly.

"Let's go in." Ma Feifei didn't argue with Yun Qingyang, and waved his hand, signaling Lin Wuchi to lead the way.

And so, the group entered the tomb of Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror, in a grand procession.

After entering the tomb, there was a passageway. After walking about 500 meters, we came to a fork in the road.

Lin Wuchi took out the Formation Cloud Disk, fiddled with it for a while, and then the cloud disk emitted a fluorescent light towards a fork in the road. Immediately afterwards Lin Wuchi took the lead and walked in.

Ma Feifei and the others followed behind.

Then came the second, the third, and so on. Ma Feifei lost Classic of the Way before finally finding himself in a vast expanse, arriving at a grand hall.

"Isn't it a bit shabby?" Ma Feifei said, looking at the empty hall.

The entire hall was empty except for a coffin; it did not meet the standards for an emperor at all.

Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing seriousness.

"Northern Country, let's light a candle and see," Lin Wuchi said softly.

Li Beiguo nodded, took out a candle from his spatial bag, and lit it with a wave of his hand. Li Beiguo then walked to the southeast corner of the main hall and placed the candle down.

"Did you learn this from 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles'?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

In "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," grave robbers would light a candle in the southeast direction of the main hall when they were robbing a tomb. If the candle went out, the grave robbers had to take nothing from the tomb and retreat quickly, otherwise they would be in mortal danger.

Lin Wuchi's expression was somewhat solemn as he said, "Yes, shopkeeper, we found this method in the book interesting, so we wrote it down."

"Phew~"

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the candle that had just been placed went out.

However, the four were not afraid. This was a fantasy world, and the so-called ghosts and gods were nothing more than highly skilled cultivators to them.

"Phew~"

Another gust of cold wind blew by.

Yun Qingyang silently walked to Ma Feifei's side.

Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo also approached them.

"Clang~"

The coffin lid in the very center suddenly moved.

"Inside?" Ma Feifei asked softly.

Yun Qingyang nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.

Suddenly, Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo took out something resembling a fishing net from their spatial bags, tore it open, and threw it directly at the coffin.

"Ding ding ding~"

The fishing net, laid on the coffin, shone with a golden light. The coffin seemed terrified of the net and instantly stopped beating.

"This is a seventh-tier spiritual artifact Soul Suppressing Net, capable of suppressing all evil things in the world," Lin Wuchi said.

"Didn't you want to admire the heroic figure of Emperor Chu the Conqueror? How can you do that?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

"Since things are like this, let's not bother with the pilgrimage," Lin Wuchi said awkwardly.

Ma Feifei frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

However, the system has not yet given any notification that the mission is complete, which proves that the 'Tomb Seizer's' mission is not finished.

Since the mission was not completed, it proves that Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo did not achieve their goal for this trip.

"What exactly is the purpose of your visit here?" Ma Feifei asked with a serious expression.

Upon closer reflection, Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo's reactions were somewhat unusual from the beginning. Both were professional tomb raiders, yet they ignored the numerous burial treasures around them and insisted on coming to this main tomb. Furthermore, although they claimed not to have found the entrance, they seemed extremely familiar with the tomb's layout, managing to navigate all the forks in the road without making a mistake. Also, only Yun Qingyang could sense the presence of a living person inside the coffin, but when the coffin suddenly made noises, Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo showed no fear whatsoever, as if they already knew there was a living person inside.

"Smack~"

"Smack~"

Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo knelt down in front of Ma Feifei, startling her. Ma Feifei, looking bewildered, asked, "What are you doing?"

"Knock knock knock~"

Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo kowtowed several times on the ground, saying, "Please, shopkeeper, kill the person in the tomb."

Now Ma Feifei was even more confused. What was going on? Weren't they here to rob a tomb?

Seeing Ma Feifei's puzzled expression, Lin Wuchi explained, "To be honest, we're very familiar with this place. We come in every now and then, and we've been here over a hundred times so far."

Ma Feifei watched the two of them quietly, gesturing for Lin Wuchi to continue.

Lin Wuchi continued, "Two years ago, we accidentally stumbled upon this Emperor's Tomb and discovered it was the tomb of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon -Emperor Chu the Conqueror of Emperor Chu the Conqueror. Overjoyed, we wanted to dig it up and find some treasures buried with him. Unfortunately, we eventually discovered that Emperor Chu the Conqueror had used an ancient demonic secret technique to Sheer Force prolong his life and designed this Blood River Formation on it, using it to maintain his life and await the arrival of a destined person."

"Waiting for the arrival of the destined person? Why are you waiting for someone to come?" Ma Feifei asked doubtfully. People can only hang their lives in here with the help of secret methods. Is there anyone who can save him?

"We await a powerful being with profound cultivation to break into the Emperor's Tomb, and then we will possess their body," Lin Wuchi said slowly.

"Wow, that's amazing! Possession and rebirth?" Ma Feifei exclaimed in surprise.

Ma Feifei knew a little about possession: it was about a soul entering another body that didn't belong to it, then destroying the soul and taking over the body, thus gaining a new life in this way.

Take Ma Feifei himself, for example. He also entered the original owner's body through his soul when he transmigrated to this world; however, the original owner had already died when Ma Feifei arrived, so it cannot be considered a possession.

Lin Wuchi shook his head, his expression grave, and said, "The lifespan of Emperor Chu the Conqueror has long since ended. Even if he successfully possesses another body, he cannot be reborn. He will die as soon as he steps out of this Blood River Formation. The reason he waits for a destined person to possess his body is that he wants to achieve Ascension to Immortality through Corpse Liberation!"

"Ascension to Immortality through Corpse Liberation!"
