Chapter 103: Inside the Stone Gate, the Ancient Underground Burial Ground

Chapter 103: Inside the Stone Gate, the Ancient Underground Burial Ground
In the center of the Bodhi Domain, Qing Shenxiu, after leaving behind his inheritance, walked into the stone gate with Hua Tiandu.

Inside the stone gate is a time and space tunnel.

They moved forward in the brilliant divine light, as if standing from the perspective of heaven, and saw many bizarre and chaotic phenomena.

On a vast land, a sky-supporting altar tens of thousands of meters high stands tall.

There were countless large formations carved on the altar, emitting scarlet divine light and revealing something weird.

In the center of the formation, sat a handsome young man with a ruddy complexion.

“That powerful man is holding a grand sacrifice. He is summoning countless fire creatures to come to the altar for sacrifice. Only in this way can he be promoted to the realm of the ancestor.” Qing Shenxiu said.

Ever since she understood her past and future lives, she had come to understand countless secrets of the world of death and other worlds, and her knowledge had been greatly expanded.

In the picture flashing in the time tunnel, countless fire creatures came from all directions of the altar. They were confused, as if they were blinded by some mysterious power, and they only knew to move towards the altar.

Although this picture flashed by only briefly and did not show the end of those fire creatures, they definitely met with destruction.

In the space-time tunnel, a picture appeared again, which was a tall stone city surrounded by demonic clouds.

"The stone city built by the strong men who embarked on the path of stone men..." Qing Shenxiu murmured.

In her future destiny, she also embarked on this path of no return, and eventually died with hatred and failed to avenge her.

……

After watching five magical scenes intermittently, Hua Tiandu and Qing Shenxiu finally broke away from the time and space tunnel and landed in a valley.

The narrow valley seemed a little dark.

At this moment, they were standing on a small transport platform.

Looking at the surrounding environment, one can only see the mountains on both sides and the ancient trees rooted in the mountains.

The ancient trees on both sides stretched out many branches and green leaves, blocking most of the sunlight.

"Whoo~"

A breeze blew by, the branches trembled, and the sunlight filtered through the narrow gaps between the branches and leaves, casting a little light.

"Brother Tiandu, let's go."

Qing Shenxiu flapped his wings and was the first to fly away through the void.

She did not destroy any of the surrounding environment, probably because she did not want to destroy these natural covers, so that the transmission platform here could continue to remain unknown to anyone and avoid being destroyed by other creatures.

Hua Tiandu took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the void. The next moment, he came directly to the sky, side by side with Qing Shenxiu.

They looked down at the mountains below.

"This place is called Shiwan Black Mountain. It is a dangerous place full of fighting and struggle." Qing Shenxiu was like a competent 'tour guide'.

Based on the information she obtained from the future trajectory of destiny, she explained some precautions to Hua Tiandu.

"Brother Tiandu, with our strength, we should be careful now to avoid provoking powerful enemies and getting into danger." Qing Shenxiu suggested.

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Hua Tiandu agreed and then asked, "Where should we go next? Do you have any plans?"

"I have already made plans for my future practice. Brother Tiandu, just follow me." Qing Shenxiu said with a hint of mystery.

"I know where all the treasures of the future will be buried, and I also know several sacred lands full of miraculous creations. At this moment, they have not been found by other creatures, so it's just right for you and me."

Ever since knowing the future, Qing Shenxiu has had a comprehensive plan, intending to take all those blessings into his arms.

"That's great." Hua Tiandu smiled with satisfaction, "Please lead the way, Shenxiu, so that I can see what treasures you have seen in your destiny."

In mid-air, the five-colored divine bird shuttled through the void and disappeared dozens of miles away in an instant, leaving only faint spatial fluctuations.

Following these spatial traces, Hua Tiandu used the Great Teleportation Technique and followed closely.
-
In a slightly desolate valley on the northwest edge of the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains, Qing Shenxiu was the first to appear.

"It's so desolate here, what good things can there be?"

Hua Tiandu, who followed closely, looked around and asked with some confusion.

On both sides of the valley, the two adjacent mountain ranges were no more than a thousand meters high and looked very small.

There are few trees on the mountain, and most of the land is bare. There is no sign of any living creature.

There is only a half-meter-wide stream in the valley, with the water gurgling and flowing slowly along the terrain.

There was nothing in the stream except the floating dead leaves and rotten debris.

This scene of decay and decline makes it hard to believe that this is a treasure land.

"Brother Tiandu, along the way, have you ever seen such a devastated scene in these Hundred Thousand Black Mountains?" Qing Shenxiu asked first.

Then, without waiting for an answer, she explained, “The reason why the vitality of this place is so declining is because there is an ancient burial site buried deep underground.”

"Inside the burial ground, there are the bodies of several kings, as well as some precious inheritances and secret techniques, which are just right for me to use."

"Of course, there are also some burial objects, perhaps Brother Tiandu can use them."

After saying that, Qing Shenxiu performed the earth escape technique and dived all the way down. Until a certain moment, her aura completely disappeared, as if it was blocked by some mysterious force.

"Your Majesty, that is, the corpse of Banzu..." Hua Tian hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow.

He dived under the earth, and after diving tens of thousands of meters, he encountered a huge barrier that was emitting a faint white light.

Silently, Hua Tiandu crashed into the Five Emperors' canopy on his head, but no conflict occurred.

"It seems that this is just a restriction to support the soil layer and shield the induction of qi, and it has no effect of blocking outsiders."

Inside the light shield, it was indeed as Qing Shenxiu said, an ancient burial site that had been opened up, occupying an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius.

There are countless grave mounds and tombstones in the ancient burial ground.

These tombs are big and small. The big ones occupy an area of ​​several miles and are hundreds of meters high, looking like a small hill.

The small one only occupies a few meters of space and is only half a meter high, looking very short.

What is the same is that every grave here exudes an air of vicissitudes.

At the edge of the ancient burial ground, Hua Tiandu saw a stone tablet with a broken corner.

The stone tablet was covered with cracks, but two clear ancient characters were still left.

Although he did not recognize these characters, he captured some charm from the released energy.

"Qiong Guang..."

"Is this the name of the sect that built this burial ground?"

The world of death is the world of fire creatures.

However, throughout history, there have been many powerful people from other worlds who have revived and been reborn here.

These special beings quickly became powerful relying on the accumulation of their previous lives.

In order to facilitate their practice, they created one force after another.

In order to control their subordinates, they relied on their knowledge from previous lives and established some rules and systems to teach and discipline those scattered fire creatures.

Whether it is the city-state system, the sect system, or the national system... In the development of the times, those civilizations with different characteristics were inadvertently spread.

This is also the origin of the major forces in the world of death.

"Brother Tiandu..."

At this time, Qing Shenxiu had already walked to a tall tomb. She noticed Hua Tiandu's abnormality and shouted through voice transmission.

After Hua Tiandu came to his senses and looked over, she continued, "Inside this tomb, there is the remains of a king. Why don't you come with me and take a look?"

Hua Tiandu flew over as he was told and came to the tombstone in front of the grave.

The tombstone is still intact, and is surrounded by a faint fluorescence, which should be a kind of protective divine power.

There is only one simple big word on the front of the tombstone.

Hua Tian understood some meaning from the breath overflowing from the stele.

"Robbery..."

Involuntarily, he read out the ancient characters on the tombstone.

In an instant, the fluorescent light on the tombstone flickered, and there seemed to be a mysterious aura flowing in the void.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Hua Tian seemed to hear countless shouts and see pictures in front of his eyes.

A skeleton rose from obscurity, gathered fire and became powerful. He accidentally recovered his memories of his past life, joined a sect, and made rapid progress. Although he went through countless calamities, he achieved the path to becoming a king, was able to revive in flesh and blood, and restored his original appearance, becoming a mighty man.

But just when he was feeling proud, he heard that a secret treasure had appeared in the world. He went deep into the dangerous place alone, but was besieged by several enemies. In this battle, the big man seemed to have lost the protection of fate and was seriously injured. In desperation, he could only use forbidden techniques to escape.

"It seems that this person finally died, and now his body is buried in this tomb."

The awakened Hua Tiandu jumped over the tombstone and entered the grave with Qing Shenxiu.

The huge tomb has nine interconnected tomb chambers.

In the tomb chamber at the bottom, a sarcophagus lies horizontally in the center, and nine eternal lamps surround the outside of the sarcophagus.

Qing Shenxiu and Hua Tian appeared one after another and came to the side of the sarcophagus.

“Brother Tiandu, please follow me and extinguish these eternal lamps.” Qing Shenxiu said, “This sarcophagus has a restriction, and these eternal lamps are the key.”

"Only by extinguishing them can you and I open the sarcophagus safely."

Looking at Qing Shenxiu, who knew this place very well, Hua Tian was a little surprised and felt it was quite magical.

"I don't know what Patriarch Bodhi showed her. Why is this place so familiar to her?"

As the two of them worked together to extinguish the nine eternal lamps one by one, the entire tomb chamber suddenly became much darker.

In the center of the tomb, the sarcophagus that appeared as pure white as jade in the light now took on a different appearance in the darkness as the eternal lamp went out.

The jade color on the sarcophagus faded, revealing the rough stone texture, exuding a heavy feeling and extremely eye-catching.

Qing Shenxiu flew above the sarcophagus, and as his wings flapped, a ray of five-colored divine light flew out, slowly moving the lid on the top of the sarcophagus down and placing it silently to the side.

Inside the coffin, there lay a mutilated body, more than three meters tall.

"This is the strong man I saw in front of the tombstone!" Hua Tian felt a little surprised when he noticed this.

The big man in the coffin had a majestic figure and was full of dignity, but he was missing his left arm. This was probably a wound left in a past war.

It stands to reason that when one reaches the divine and enlightened realm of a king, it is impossible for him to be unable to recover from his injuries, but this big man never grew a new left arm until his death.

Obviously, there must be something hidden in this.

While he was distracted, Qing Shenxiu took out a halberd broken into three sections from next to the corpse in the coffin.

The halberd is longer than the owner of the coffin and is made of an unknown black metal.

"This halberd is made of a large amount of Netherworld black gold. Unfortunately, it has lost its divinity and is no longer useful." Qing Shenxiu stared at the halberd and sighed.

On the halberd, in addition to the more obvious fracture points, you can also see small characters on it, which is obviously some kind of inheritance.

Five-colored divine light surged out from Qing Shenxiu's body, wrapping the three sections of the broken halberd. He refined the halberd and obtained the secret techniques and inheritance recorded on it.

After a while, she finished refining and shared the three skills she had obtained with Hua Tiandu.

“The Heavenly Tribulation Art… The Art of Resurrecting the Flesh and Blood… The Netherworld Divine Body…”

These three skills were created by the big man in the coffin, who combined what he learned in his previous life and all his experiences after resurrection, to create supreme skills that suit his own needs.

However, although these skills are of great reference value to Qing Shenxiu, they are of no use to Hua Tiandu. They can only be said to be useless, useless to use and a pity to throw away.

"Kakaka~"

In the five-colored divine light, the three broken sections of the halberd made shattering sounds.

Because the soldier spirit inside completely dissipated, it came to an end.

The three-section broken halberd was first shattered into black crystal powder, and then slowly melted away, like evaporating water, completely dissipating without leaving any trace.

"A generation of heroes finally came to an end."

"Practice is always full of hardships. If you are not careful, you will end up dead."

Qing Shenxiu and Hua Tian both looked at the disappeared halberd, then looked at the big man in the coffin, and sighed.

"Since the inheritance has been obtained, we will leave immediately and let him rest here forever."

Hua Tiandu moved his fingers slightly, shooting out a stream of energy, picked up the coffin lid, and was about to put it on the sarcophagus when something strange happened in his arms.

The World Tree, which had been quiet all the time, suddenly flew into the sarcophagus.

"Ok?"

Surprised, Hua Tiandu and Qing Shenxiu both approached the sarcophagus and looked at the World Tree carefully.

The roots of this sacred tree pierced directly into the big man's chest. Countless roots were trembling, and it seemed as if something was surging up inside.

"The World Tree is absorbing the remaining divine power of this corpse!" Qing Shenxiu noticed the changes in the corpse and told the truth.

Hearing this, Hua Tiandu shifted his attention from the World Tree to the corpse.

Sure enough, in his perception, the divine essence within the big man's body was constantly dissipating.

All the essence flowed along the roots of the World Tree and was absorbed and digested by it.

Gradually, the entire body shrank, and in the end only the outer clothes were left, with no remains of the body left.

"Brother Tiandu, where did this sacred tree you cultivated come from? Why does it look so evil now?" Qing Shenxiu silently moved away from the sarcophagus and then asked.

“This…” Hua Tian was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to explain. After all, he didn’t know the inside story.

Under his gaze, the World Tree, after absorbing the "nutrients", flew out of the sarcophagus and stayed in the void.

This sacred tree had obviously undergone some changes. Its trunk had become thicker and had grown a little taller. Although not much, it did not escape the perception of Hua Tiandu and Qing Shenxiu.
