Seven Cultivations's Ancient Tomb Exploration Guide

The puppets of the Ink Sect require energy to operate. The more powerful the puppet, the more Spirit Stone are needed to operate it.

After absorbing a Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone, the puppet's eyes only lit up slightly before falling silent again.

A single Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone, enough to keep Silver Dragon Puppet flying continuously for a month, couldn't even activate the puppet.

This puppet is very powerful.

It needs more Spirit Stone... In Song Shuhang's Inch-Shrinking Bag, there are still 11 Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone.

The puppet was immobile, but with the intense movements of Song Shuhang and the giant during their battle, the 11 Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone would inevitably collide with it at some point.

As long as it comes into contact with it, the Spirit Stone will be absorbed.

Meanwhile, Song Shuhang, who was fully engaged in fighting the giants under five times the gravity, had not yet noticed the anomaly in the Shrinking Bag.

I wonder how many Spirit Stone Shuhang will have left in his pocket after the training?

Time flies, and half a day has passed. After fighting the giant under five times gravity for most of the day, Shuhang was completely exhausted.

It's 8 PM China time.

In Shuhang's room.

He unrolled the scroll of the "Steel Hand" manual in his hand, intending to learn this ultimate technique during his free time that evening.

Next to Shuhang, Li Yinzhu, Chu Chu, and Yu Jiaojiao were playing cards.

Li Yinzhu had slept most of the morning and was now fully awake. After waking up, she ran to Song Shuhang's Room and refused to leave.

Chu Chu came along to take care of her.

Yu Jiaojiao has always lived with Song Shuhang.

Then, the three women, bored out of their minds, started playing cards—heaven knows where those cards came from.

They weren't playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but a game where players compared point values, and the winner could flick the other two players' foreheads.

This was originally a very normal way of playing the game.

But...

"Hehehe, I won!" Yu Jiaojiao.

Chu Chu's face turned pale, and she painfully touched her bangs.

Then, Yu Jiaojiao curled her claws and flicked her on the head.

A crisp, clear sound.

"Aaaaaah!" Chu Chu screamed as she was thrown back through the air.

Next was Li Yinzhu, her eyes misty, as she brought her forehead close to Yu Jiaojiao's.

Thump...

"Ahhh!" Li Yinzhu was also thrown back. Compared to Chu Chu, Li Yinzhu was in much better condition because she was at the Fourth-Grade Realm and had a stronger physique.

She was thrown back because she gave up all resistance.

"Again!" Chu Chu rubbed her forehead and crawled back.

"Yes!" Li Yinzhu nodded vigorously.

A moment later.

"Aaaaaah~~" Chu Chu screamed again as she was thrown back.

"Hahaha." This time, the other one to be flicked was Yu Jiaojiao —however, even though she voluntarily gave up resisting, she was a descendant of Flood Dragon, and her body's defense was astonishing. Li Yinzhu flicked her hard, but it didn't hurt her at all.

Beside him, Song Shuhang silently put down the <Steel Hand> manual and looked up at the ceiling.

Is this even letting people learn secret techniques in peace?!

******************************

The Limitless Demon Sect is a major Demonic Path sect in the Cultivator World.

The Demon Sect is further divided into three halls.

Each hall oversees numerous peak masters.

Each of the three hall masters possesses the cultivation level of Sixth-Grade True Lord.

At this moment, in the second hall, the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall.

A colossal Nine-Eyed Gama Divine Statue was enshrined in the center of the hall, beneath which burned a dark flame.

Around the golem, more than twenty peak masters sat in a circle, surrounding the statue like stars around the moon.

The master of the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall sat cross-legged in the flames beneath the statue. His figure was ethereal, almost merging with the Nine-Eyed Gama Divine Statue behind him.

The Hall Master of the Demon Hall's eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "All eight Golden Core Spirit Emperors have been captured?"

These are eight Golden Core Spirit Emperors, not just eight golden beans. Even in the Limitless Demon Sect Demonic Path, Spirit Emperor are the backbone of the sect, and each one is extremely precious. If he were to lose eight Golden Core Spirit Emperors at once, his 'Nine-Eyed Gama Hall' would immediately become the weakest of the sect's three halls.

"We must rescue the eight peak masters," the hall master of the Gamo Hall said in a deep voice.

The other party was Venerable Seven Cultivations, a powerful Venerable-Tier figure. If he could, he really didn't want to get entangled with a cultivator of this level.

However, those eight Golden Core Spirit Emperor must be rescued.

The peak masters present began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Then, one of the peak masters replied, "Master, according to our intelligence on the moon, it seems that Venerable Seven Cultivations intends to send eight peak masters there to act as miners. In that case, we can intercept the Immortal Ark transporting the peak masters halfway and rescue them."

The leader of the Gamo Hall nodded and said, "Submit the relevant information in three hours. I will personally participate in the rescue plan then."

"Yes." The many peak masters began to take action, and orders were transmitted out one after another.

In the dim flames, the hall master sighed inwardly.

He needs to prepare for both possibilities.

While preparing the rescue plan, he also needed to raise some Spirit Stone.

If the rescue fails, they will have no choice but to go and ransom the people—and ransoming eight peak masters would definitely come at a heavy price.

Below the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall, atop the sixty-ninth peak, 'Demon Throat Peak'.

On the edge of that Cloudmist- shrouded cliff stood a puppet, a Puppet Clone of Gongzi Hai.

Since obtaining the 'Blood Sea Jade', Gongzi Hai's main body has begun to attempt to break through to the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor Realm. This Puppet Clone, on the other hand, takes over Gongzi Hai's place in seclusion to handle some urgent matters.

The sea of clouds churned, and a wisp of black mist emerged from it—it was Devil Lord Anzhi's clone.

The demonic arts cultivated by Devil Lord Anzhi are very strange. He can have a large number of clones. These clones share the same mind as the main body and are scattered throughout China to collect intelligence for Devil Lord Anzhi.

"I just received news that eight peak masters under our Nine-Eyed Gama Hall have been captured by the 'Venerable Seven Cultivations'." Devil Lord Anzhi's clone paused, then said, "Moreover, it's because of the 'immense pressure from the mountain of books' again."

The Demon Lord used a method of 'Secret Voice Transmission' to prevent others from hearing their conversations.

Gongzi Hai's Puppet Clone stirred slightly, also Secret Voice Transmission: "Is it the pressure of the mountain of books again? Is he related to Venerable Seven Cultivations?"

Devil Lord Anzhi said, "The relationship is closer than I imagined. Shushan is under great pressure and has been living in the cave of the Venerable Seven Cultivations ever since we entered the moon."

Gongzi Hai's puppet remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering some issues.

After a moment, Gongzi Hai asked again, "What does the Hall Master plan to do with the captured Peak Master?"

Devil Lord Anzhi replied, "Naturally, we must rescue those eight peak masters."

Gongzi Hai's Puppet Clone said, "The capture of eight peak masters... this is an opportunity for us. We must seize this opportunity—therefore, we cannot allow all eight peak masters to return."

In the Limitless Demon Sect, once one advances to the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, one can become a peak master of the Demon Sect.

However, the new leader will need to expend their own effort to build their own peak.

This requires a significant investment of energy, manpower, and resources.

Of course, the Limitless Demon Sect would allocate some funds for the construction of the new peak. But that amount was too little, barely enough to lay the foundation for the new peak.

Gongzi Hai's plan was to make himself and the other two become high-ranking members of the Limitless Demon Sect in a short period of time. They couldn't afford to waste a lot of energy and time building a new peak.

Therefore, it would be ideal if one could 'inherit' the peak of another peak master, as it would save a lot of manpower, material resources, and other resources.

If not all eight peak masters who were captured return, several peak master positions will be vacant.

If the three of them can be promoted to peak masters in time, they can replace the old peak masters and take over their existing power and peaks.

Taking over from the old power structure may be troublesome, but it's much easier than building a new peak.

Devil Lord Anzhi instantly understood what Gongzi Hai meant. In other words, of the eight peak masters, at least three should stay with Venerable Seven Cultivations to mine.

"What should we do?" Devil Lord Anzhi's clone grinned wickedly.

"Let me think about it... Perhaps we can start with that fellow Daoist who's 'under great pressure from the mountain of books'," said Gongzi Hai's puppet, stroking his chin.

Devil Lord Anzhi: "How should we proceed? Should we reveal the Hall Master's plan to 'Book Mountain Pressure'?"

"That's not a good idea. Directly betraying our teammates would easily expose us. Moreover, if 'Venerable Seven Cultivations' gets the information and personally takes action to capture the Hall Master and force him to mine, it would be very disadvantageous for us," Gongzi Hai replied.

He had to come up with a safe way to ensure that the hall master could only rescue half of the peak masters...

******************************

China, the Jiangnan Region.

Gao Moumou's fingers flew across the keyboard—his recent trip to the Indigenous Island, where he taught the locals to read, had sparked countless ideas in Gao Moumou mind.

Unfortunately, he couldn't put his inspirations into words because he didn't have a computer while on the island.

The day before yesterday, I took my girlfriend Mei Yi home.

After that, he stayed in his room for three days straight, frantically writing.

When inspiration strikes, writing flows effortlessly, as if guided by divine intervention.

"Great! Twenty thousand words a day, sixty thousand words in three days. Then I can post six thousand words a day for ten days. Hahahaha." Gao Moumou smiled smugly.

He organized the words he had written over the past few days into chapters, saved them in his drafts, and set up automatic updates.

"With so many drafts saved up, I can finally ask Mei Yi out tomorrow. This time, I absolutely won't allow He Ren to ruin our Mei Yi. Zhuge Yue, Zhuge Zhongyang, all of them can go to hell. Hahahaha."

He'd even chosen his honeymoon destination: a three-day, three-night trip to a summer resort. Just thinking about it was exciting—he'd originally wanted to go to the beach, but he'd recently developed a bit of an allergy to the sea. So, they decided to go deep into the mountains instead.

After setting up the draft box, Gao Moumou opened the chat software.

I first sent a few greeting emojis to my three roommates, Song Shuhang, Tubo, and Li Yangde. After seeing that no one replied online, I closed the chat software.

Next, Gao Moumou logged into another chat software account—his author-only chat account, which was very private, only adding readers and not any real-life friends.

When Gao Moumou opened his chat account...

[Beep beep beep~] This is a notification that someone has added him as a friend or added him to a group.

"Another reader has added me." Gao Moumou clicked on the notification message.

[Dragon Girl Yu Jiaojiao (******) requests to add you as a friend.] Additional message: Add me, add me, add me now!

"Yu Jiaojiao, judging from the name, she must be a girl?" Gao Moumou thought to himself.

He doesn't use this account very often, and he's never publicly revealed it. Only his most devoted readers have found this account and added him as a friend. So, he adds any reader as a friend without hesitation.

Gao Moumou casually clicked and accepted the friend request.

However... the other person's friend request was from a few days ago, and they don't seem to be online right now.

Gao Moumou sent a smiley face casually.

Then, he opened his book club group and chatted in the group for a while.

After finishing his chat in the group, Gao Moumou closed the chat software, satisfied.

Then he started calling his girlfriend Mei Yi to begin a new round of dating plans.

******************************

The next day.

July 30th, Tuesday, weather Unknown, as Song Shuhang is currently on the moon. Today's Daoist name is Overlord Blade Song One, provided by Venerable White.

After getting up in the morning, Song Shuhang tried to practice the martial art "Steel Hand".

<Steel Hand> is Second-Grade- grade skill, and it is much more difficult to cultivate than <Vajra Foundation Fist>. Song Shuhang tried more than ten times, but only made a slight progress.

Just as he was cultivating, the voice of the Venerable Seven Cultivations came from afar. "Young friend Shuhang, are you ready?"

"Is there something you need, Senior Seven Cultivations?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled.

"Didn't we agree to explore the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations together today?" said the Venerable Seven Cultivations.

I almost forgot, Senior Seven Cultivations Cultivators made an appointment the day before yesterday to explore the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations today.

He'd been playing Attack on Titan for the past two days, and it'd made him a little dizzy.

"No problem, senior. I can set off at any time," Song Shuhang. Since his battle against the giant under five times gravity yesterday, Song Shuhang's physique has improved once again.

Now, the throbbing pain in his heart has subsided, and the stinging sensation between his eyebrows has also eased considerably.

He can now manipulate his true energy. He can use both the Flame Blade and the Reverse Scale Saber Technique.

My mental strength needs to recover for a while longer. Only after my physical constitution improves further can I practice Meditation Method normally. Therefore, I cannot yet use Daoist techniques like 'Palm Thunder' that require mental strength.

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Then let's set off, taking that Miss Chu Chu and the others with us."

The group boarded the Venerable Seven Cultivations's Immortal Ark, left the moon, and entered space.

On the way, Song Shuhang asked curiously, "Senior, why is the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations in space?"

Because in the Dream Entry I saw, the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations should be somewhere on Earth.

"Because the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations' is not a fixed, dead tomb. It is a mobile, Ancient Tomb that can move at any time. Don't use Mortal World perspectives to limit the ancient Ancient Tomb of cultivators. In fact, this kind of mobile ancient Ancient Tomb was very popular among ancient cultivators," the Venerable Seven Cultivations explained.
