The Similarity in Style Didn't Seem to Be a Coincidence Either

"Pleasure and application are two different things. It's not simply a matter of choosing between dislike and application, but rather a matter of matching them according to the circumstances. As for dislike, the easiest thing to resolve is simply to ignore it. That's why I didn't go today."

After listening to Liu Xun finish speaking, Liu Tianming didn't argue anymore and nodded:

"I see."

"Let Father and the elders arrange his affairs; I won't interfere."

After saying this, Liu Tianming got up and left.

Liu Xun watched Liu Tianming leave, then glanced in the direction where Lu Changzhi lived.

"I've wasted so much breath on you, it's time to stop here."

After this incident, Lu Changzhi was no longer the kind of person who was neither worth eating nor worth throwing away.

Abandonment is the only way it deserves.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, a group of powerful members of the Liu Clan gathered together.

On the plaza, a massive teleportation array slowly activated.

Lu Changzhi, along with Gu Chen and the others, followed behind a group of core experts from the Liu Clan.

Liu Tianming was protected by the powerful members of the Liu Clan, who treated him like a star surrounded by the moon.

Seeing this scene, many members of the Liu Clan present showed a look of surprise.

"Who is that? Why is he there, while the imperial prince is placed so far back?"

Many people are puzzled by this.

They had all heard about the previous Emperor Dao and knew just how extraordinary this imperial prince was.

But precisely because of this extraordinary nature, there's a sense of following in others' footsteps.

This is quite strange.

However, someone soon showed a look of sudden realization and sighed:

"Indeed, this is, after all, an imperial tomb, not some ordinary matter. It's impossible to put the real imperial prince at risk, so they created a fake and placed it in the center to mislead others."

Those clansmen who understood these things all praised the cautious and prudent approach taken by the higher-ups.

But these were not what he thought, but what he said.

The speaker meant well, and the listener, though unintentional, could not ignore it.

Liu Tianming glanced at the clansman who had spoken out of the corner of his eye, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Our ancestor is truly foolish."

Even these people of their own tribe were kept in the dark. They were the real ones, yet they were being treated as fakes. It was utterly absurd.

But he ultimately said nothing about it.

Time will tell.

There's no need to argue about whether something is true or false in the short term.

Brush!

Brush!!

Brush!!!

He passed through countless teleportation arrays in one go.

Finally, the scene before my eyes changed.

The city, which was generally familiar but had a different style, was now in sight.

"Is this the Mystic Yang Realm?"

After sensing the situation for a moment, Lu Changzhi withdrew his thoughts.

It is not much different from the Misty Clear Realm; in fact, in some aspects, it is even inferior to the Misty Clear Realm.

Just like the workings of the universe, he didn't perceive them as clearly as he did in the Misty Clear Realm.

Putting aside his concern for the environment, Lu Changzhi began to systematically observe the place.

Brush.

Information about the powerful figures in the surrounding area was fully displayed.

"Liu Yuan, Unified Dao Realm Fifth Layer; Liu Xuanyi, Unified Dao Realm Sixth Layer; Liu Ruoyu, Unified Dao Realm Seventh Layer; Liu Qingfeng, Unified Dao Realm Fourth Layer..."

Looking at the group of the Unified Dao Realm experts whose surnames all began with Liu, Lu Changzhi secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The Liu Clan doesn't have nearly as many Unified Dao Realm experts on the surface."

The Unified Dao Realm is a realm built upon the Emperor Realm, and it is the highest level in the Misty Clear Realm.

As an ancient imperial clan, the Liu Clan naturally had no shortage of experts at the Unified Dao Realm.

However, according to widely circulated reports, the actual number of people present today is four times the number known to the outside world.

"That certainly has the air of a sect. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if they've learned it by stealing."

A smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

Mark the locations of these dozen or so powerful individuals surnamed Liu.

Just as Lu Changzhi had predicted, these powerful members of the Liu Clan were distributed in two relatively close locations, forming two groups and hiding in the shadows.

His gaze swept across the Lu Changzhi, then suddenly stopped.

The next moment, Lu Changzhi's lips curled up.

"It seems it's not a coincidence."

Between the two groups of the Liu Clan Ancestors, the one on the right contains an incongruous patch of green, surrounded by lines marking the powerful members of the Liu Clan, like stars surrounding the moon.

Furthermore, this green light... he doesn't have the surname Liu.

"The Unified Dao Realm Eighth Layer."

"Very well, very well, the old ginger is indeed spicier than the shrewd ginger."

With such a green light present, it's not surprising that the Liu Clan's style seems somewhat familiar.

"It seems that this ancestor named Chen Qiuwen came to the Liu Clan for more than just academic pursuits."

Upon closer reflection, it does give one the illusion of spreading advanced knowledge to the indigenous people.

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi didn't continue thinking about it.

Despite having an ancestor, even the strongest can't fight against overwhelming odds; after all, there were more Unified Dao Realm experts from the Liu Clan present.

However, he did not come here today to break ties with the Liu Clan.

The imperial tomb is the main focus of this trip.

Let them make a fuss, as long as it doesn't interfere with my and my disciples' exploration of the Emperor's Tomb.

It would be best to make a big scene.

The muddier the water, the easier it is to catch fish by chance.

My heart yearns for it.

At this moment, the powerful members of the Yue Clan arrived from afar.

Although they arrived later than the Liu clan, their scale was in no way inferior to that of the Liu Clan, and in some ways even greater.

Rows of enormous, majestic cloud boats stretched as far as the eye could see, dominating the area and pressing down like dark clouds looming over a city.

This scene caused the many powerful figures from the Mystic Yang Realm who were staying in the city to frown even more deeply:

"Those rumors were indeed true. The Misty Clear Realm really did mobilize its main force. It seems that the Emperor's Tomb is almost certainly real!"

Some people looked on with displeasure, gazing into the distance.

"Why haven't the top forces of our Mystic Yang Realm arrived yet? Are they really going to let the people of the Misty Clear Realm dig up the Emperor's Tomb?"

Some people even had expressions of anticipation on their faces.

"Give us more, give us more! As a realm, Misty Clear Realm can't possibly have only this much. This is far too little; there won't be enough to fight later."

One of his companions couldn't help but turn around and look, reminding him:

"Calm down. Didn't you sense their presence? We haven't even reached the Dao Realm yet. Are you going to risk our lives to kill them?"

Those who came before, looking back, shook their heads helplessly:

"Stubborn, always picking on the strong?"

"Listen to me, if a fight really breaks out, you go left, I go right, hide as well as you can, and run as fast as you can."

"Take away everything Tongtong —the storage rings on those severed limbs, the treasures scattered on the ground, and even the remains of those powerful individuals!"

Those around were taken aback:

"Weren't we here to explore the Emperor's Tomb? Why are we scavenging again?"

"Ask less, do more!" This is a key principle emphasized by our predecessors.

"These two things definitely can't happen at the same time. Just look at them. Mystic Yang Realm isn't Misty Clear Realm's territory. Don't be fooled by the fact that our powerful figures haven't arrived yet; they might be preparing to ambush us from behind or trap us like turtles in a jar."

"Furthermore, compared to the benefits of exploring an imperial tomb, the gains might not even outweigh the gains from scavenging!"

As he spoke, the man paused, pointed into the distance, and looked satisfied:

"See? It was bound to be this little bit."
