Did You Think Master Gave You That on a Whim?
Xu Tiancheng.
Zhu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the area where he had spoken earlier.
In an instant, his mind swept across the surroundings.
Unfortunately, no signs were found.
"If this really is his grave..."
Zhu Sheng withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and finally took out an item:
"Then we really need to alarm the Emperor."
Xu Tiancheng someone that most cultivators in the Mystic Yang Realm might not know much about.
Those who know more will know that he had achieved remarkable success in body refinement, possessing a powerful physique that was once said to be unharmable even by imperial weapons.
But only by going far enough on the path of cultivation can one understand the truly extraordinary nature of one's achievements.
Back then, Xu Tiancheng's act of becoming emperor in his physical body shocked the world and also spread an idea to the world.
The concept is not complicated.
No matter how advanced one's skills or knowledge in arts and sciences, the final and most crucial step is to return to oneself, or more precisely, to one's physical body.
This concept is understandable to anyone who understands the path of spiritual practice.
Just like at the beginning of cultivation, before guiding the spirit into the body, one must strengthen oneself through various means to lay the foundation for the spiritual power to enter the body.
However, for those who have reached a certain level of mastery...
I can understand it, but I might not be able to do it.
The physical body, from the very beginning, requires a tremendous investment, both in terms of time and energy.
And the further along the journey, the more exaggerated and astonishing this investment will become.
Everyone knows how extraordinary Xu Tiancheng was in forging his physical body with the Four Sacred Beasts, but few know the helplessness behind it.
At certain stages, the available resources become increasingly scarce.
In contrast, this applies to everything from magical techniques and artifacts to the soul.
Although there was some investment, the level of investment was far less than that invested in body refinement.
Furthermore, the cultivation in these areas has a kind of inertia. Just like the understanding of the power of heaven and earth, the rules Order, and even the way of heaven and earth, once a certain foundation is established, one can still deduce and deepen it on one's own, even without resources.
In such a situation, most people would know which option to choose.
It's possible that some people want to have it all, but the final result is often that "only this path leads to success, and one must borrow fifty thousand years from heaven."
Of course, this does not mean that body tempering has an overwhelming advantage over other methods.
The problem is that only after their Zhu Clan's ancestral emperor reached that point did he understand the true meaning of the statement Xu Tiancheng left behind.
Body refinement isn't necessarily good, nor is weapon cultivation, magic cultivation, or soul cultivation necessarily bad.
However, those who choose the latter may find themselves trapped if their physical training doesn't keep up.
This so-called "catching up" is far from the kind of situation where an improvement in one's realm leads to an improvement in one's physical body.
However, the path of body cultivation emphasizes taking things one step at a time and starting from a young age.
His Zhu Clan's ancestral emperor is now so old that he can no longer be grasped in one hand.
After realizing the problem, I tried many methods to solve it.
However, the results were clearly unsatisfactory.
Otherwise, the Zhu Clan wouldn't have suddenly shifted from not emphasizing body refinement to prioritizing it.
He remembered that the Emperor had mentioned Xu Tiancheng back then.
His method of refining the body with the Four Sacred Beasts seems to be able to solve the predicament faced by the Emperor Ancestor.
In other words.
If they can obtain what Xu Tiancheng created or inherited, and find the Four Sacred Beasts to refine their bodies, the Zhu Clan's ancestor can hope to reach even greater heights!
In fact.
At this point, Zhu Sheng wasn't the only one who realized this problem.
Besides the Zhu Clan, the Huang Clan and Shen Clan also realized this at this moment.
Let's not even talk about how to solve the problem of the Four Divine Beasts.
The most important thing right now is that if it's true, we must take it if we can.
If you can't get it, you must at least destroy it and prevent it from falling into the hands of other forces!
"This is no longer something we can control."
The Huang Clan expert spoke:
"Our ancestor is far more skilled in formations than we are. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, report it back first."
On the other side.
Inside the formation, Liu Xun listened to the shouts and discussions of the people from the Mystic Yang Realm outside, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
Liu Tianming, who was standing to the side, had a similar reaction.
" With the Aptitude of a Great Emperor, if one could supplement it with the body-refining techniques of the Emperor Realm expert..."
Before Liu Xun could finish speaking, Liu Duanyuan shook his head and interrupted him:
"Judging from their reaction, this tomb is probably beyond our reach."
He saw it clearly.
Ever since the name Xu Tiancheng came out...
There have been noticeable changes in all three aspects of the Mystic Yang Realm.
Their initial attitude was by no means anything less than this serious.
It is unclear whether any of these three parties had an ancestral emperor still alive.
However, the Liu Clan can be assumed to no longer exist.
"Have the clansmen prepare to cooperate with the ancestor and prepare to withdraw."
Liu Duanyuan gave a reminder.
Beside him, Liu Tianming's expression shifted slightly, and he suddenly said:
"We can't get the Emperor's Tomb, but Lin Xie is worth digging deeper into."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xun's eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, Liu Tianming continued:
"The dragon that appeared in the Emperor Dao earlier has reappeared, and Lin Xie's first action was to sever its dragon whip, presumably for body tempering. Moreover, Father, you once said that you had displayed extraordinary abilities in the Emperor Dao before?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, followed by a resolute expression on his face.
"Let's go back to the Misty Clear Realm!"
The new changes occurring outside the Emperor's Tomb were unknown to Lu Changzhi inside the tomb.
At this moment, the group had followed the map and arrived at a huge statue.
This is an extremely large statue, towering between heaven and earth, with ordinary mountain peaks bowing down before it.
But it is also a rather strange statue.
Ordinary statues, whether sitting or standing, or depicting a certain action or posture.
But the statue is positioned at a very angle, almost lying on its side in the ground.
At first glance, the statue is missing a leg, which is why it cannot stand properly.
Looking at the area where the leg was supposed to be missing, you can see that it wasn't missing at all; the leg was carved out in the same way.
However, these legs were far too short and too small, less than one-fifth the length and thickness of a normal proportionate leg.
Therefore, although both feet are on the ground, the body is unable to stand upright.
"That's interesting."
Lu Changzhi said softly.
Statues are generally created to leave a good image in the world.
But this statue is different.
My gaze fell on the spot where the statue met the ground.
The position of both feet will allow you to reach the doorway.
According to Lin Xie's memories, Xu Tiancheng's legacy is contained within the statue, and can be obtained upon entering.
As for opening this door, there are no traps or obstacles; one can simply push it open and enter.
The only thing to be careful about is which door to enter.
According to Lin Xie...
Between the two doors lies a third door, and that is the correct entrance.
Ahead, Gu Chen and his group were also looking at the statue.
Where is the third door hidden?
Gu Chen looked left at the main gate, then right at the side gate, and murmured softly.
The sound reached Mu Fan's ears, and he saw Mu Fan's expression change slightly, raising his head slightly to look upwards.
At the same time, he spoke to Gu Chen:
"Senior Brother Gu, do you still remember the reminder Master gave you back then?"
"A reminder?" Gu Chen was taken aback, slightly puzzled.
"Right."
Mu Fan nodded, put his hands behind his back, and adopted the air of a superior being:
"Otherwise, do you think Master just sent you these things because he was bored?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression changed. He took out the Long Yang Whip, then looked up and stared incredulously at a certain spot on the statue.
"Go... go where?!"
