Whatever Trouble or Danger Comes, I Can Bear It Myself
While laughing, Mu Fan focused his mind on the system.
There are tasks waiting to be viewed in the system.
The thought crossed his mind, and immediately:
Brush.
[Task Topic: Dig!]
[Task objective: Utilize your acquired knowledge and skills to conduct an in-depth excavation of Xu Tiancheng's tomb.]
[Task Requirements: In-depth.]
[Task duration: One month.]
[Success Reward: You'll get what's coming to you.]
[Failure Reward: You'll regret this!]
"Um?"
After reading the mission details, Mu Fan was filled with disbelief.
"Why does your system talk like that...?"
A strange sense of familiarity.
"Master, the system's word choice and sentence structure are based on your knowledge background," the system said at the opportune moment.
"That makes sense then."
Mu Fan himself, looking at the words "in-depth investigation," and suddenly found it amusing:
"Digging up graves, it feels like they're stealing Zhong Ming's job."
"But it seems like my job, which just involves digging holes, should be simpler."
Thinking to himself, Mu Fan suddenly paused, then sighed inwardly:
"Mu Fan, it's just a mission, why are you so happy!"
On the other side, Gu Chen remained silent as well.
Their attention is also drawn into the system.
At that very moment, another task appeared in his system.
"Shall I take the inheritance from the Emperor's Tomb?"
Looking at the requirements of the task, Gu Chen was slightly taken aback.
"This task looks difficult."
Gu Chen murmured to himself.
Although the content presented by the master just now described the situation of the Emperor's Tomb in almost every detail.
But it was, after all, the emperor's tomb.
Given his current level of cultivation, he could easily estimate the difficulty of taking away the tomb owner's legacy simply by thinking about it.
However, Gu Chen quickly put these thoughts aside.
It all depends on human effort.
"Since Master has provided this information, it means Master also believes in our abilities."
With this thought in mind, Gu Chen turned his attention to something more important.
Since we've allocated some time, the natural thing to do is prepare.
Lu Changzhi, standing to the side, watched the two of them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"As expected of an imperial tomb, it truly serves as a catalyst for further exploration."
Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi glanced at the information in mid-air:
"However, judging from Gu Chen's mission alone, there really is a legacy existing within this Emperor's Tomb."
"Lin Xie gave it so readily; it seems he probably has something even better."
As he thought this, Lu Changzhi's lips curved into an even wider smile.
No rush, no rush, take it slow and steady. Contact me again if needed.
"I just don't know if the owner of this tomb is still alive."
Lu Changzhi glanced at Zhong Ming, who was full of anticipation.
Even Half-Emperor Realm expert, there is still a difference in realm between them and Zhong Ming.
It's estimated that if he can be resurrected, the resulting boost to his cultivation level will raise Zhong Ming's realm by an unknown amount.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi gathered his thoughts and addressed the Human Dao:
"There's still some time, let's go back and make preparations."
After everyone left, Lu Changzhi returned to the stone chair.
"Come!"
"Good!!"
Liu Clan.
Liu Xun walked into an area that resembled a paradise on earth.
"Tianming; there's something I need to do."
After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.
It wasn't until almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea that the boy's voice rang out:
"What is it, Father?"
As the words fell, a figure slowly stepped out, dressed in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He did not deliberately display his aura, yet his extraordinary nature seemed to have long been integrated into his body and soul.
"This is what a peerless genius should look like."
Liu Xun murmured to herself.
Recalling the aura that Lu Changzhi had displayed using the stone chair earlier, it was ultimately nothing more than Xiao Dao.
"The clan has received some information about the Emperor's tomb."
"The Emperor's Tomb?"
Liu Tianming raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of interest:
When? Where?
"There's still some time," Liu Xun said.
"But it won't be long; you need to prepare."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianming suddenly smiled:
"Looks like I still have to go to the Emperor's Tomb. What, they're not objecting to me showing my face in public this time?"
Liu Xun shook his head:
"Tianming, there's another thing you need to know."
Liu Tianming looked at Liu Xun:
"Father, don't tell me I have to keep it a secret any longer."
Liu Xun paused for a moment, then said:
"Tianming, with your intelligence, you should understand how risky this is. The clan has taken all factors into consideration before doing this, and there are merits to it."
"Of course I know." Liu Tianming shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"But I think that constantly avoiding problems will only make you weak."
"To revel in the power of isolation from the world, is it any different from dreaming of becoming an emperor?"
Liu Xun remained silent.
In this respect, he actually agreed with what Liu Tianming said.
For a very long time, it was.
It wasn't until later, when Liu Duanyuan and several other elders of the clan told them that whenever they were too high-profile and didn't restrain themselves, there was a mysterious force that would punish them in various unexpected ways.
At that time, he was skeptical.
Later, he experienced it twice more.
One undeniable fact is that, just as they fabricated the so-called "Heavenly Dao" in the lower realm to establish rules for the people there, regulating their behavior and giving them timely tests.
Within the Misty Clear Realm, it seems that the Heavenly Dao truly exists, restricting their excessively powerful force and maintaining a certain balance.
This is an unavoidable reality.
Being young and talented naturally leads to a desire to showcase oneself, which he sees as instinctive.
However, the Liu Clan's situation is ultimately unique, and conflict between the two is inevitable.
However, it's hard to say which side is right and which side is wrong.
Seeing that Liu Xun remained silent, Liu Tianming continued:
"I absolutely do not want to become a coward. This time in the Emperor Realm, I will not hide my identity; I will appear in my true form."
"Whatever trouble or danger may arise, I can bear it myself."
Their words conveyed an unquestionable tone.
The best way to prove your strength is not just through power, but also by facing the storm head-on!
"Good."
Liu Xun nodded:
"When the Emperor's Tomb inheritance becomes available, you need not hide yourself."
After a pause, Liu Xun changed the subject:
"But before that, you still need a substitute to absorb all that unnecessary trouble for you."
Liu Tianming frowned slightly:
"I don't need a stand-in, and no one is qualified to replace me."
"Of course no one is qualified."
Liu Xun nodded, and then said:
"But a body double has already been found."
Liu Tianming frowned even more deeply, a hint of disappointment in his expression, but ultimately he simply took a deep breath and asked:
Who? What's their skill level? What makes them stand out?
Upon hearing this, Liu Xun raised his hand and pointed, using his mind to transmit the relevant information to Liu Tianming.
Then, Liu Tianming's expression shifted slightly, and he murmured softly:
"That's interesting."
"Having reached the end of the Emperor Dao, I made the stone chair recognize me as its master and regained the Grasp of Return to the Void. Thus, it is qualified to temporarily serve as my substitute."
Liu Xun, who had been watching Liu Tianming closely, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
Although the specifics of Lu Changzhi's skill level in using the Grasp of Return to the Void were not mentioned, it seems that Tianming doesn't seem to care much about it, which is fine.
"It seems the clan has been planning these things for a while now."
Then, Liu Tianming changed the subject and asked:
Where is the stone chair?
