First, he was beaten up by Xu Que for an entire morning. Then, he fell for Xu Que's trap and ate sh * t. After enduring for so long, Xu Que managed to escape.
Now, he heard the news that the Imperial Tombs were being dug up. And it was done by the Heavenly Explosion Faction!
The Fire Emperor had suffered a series of setbacks and his mental state was once again injured. His injuries that had yet to heal worsened.
Dig … Dig up my ancestors' tombs?
The Heavenly Explosion Faction dared to dig up my ancestors' tombs?
Was this bastard sent by Xu Que or Xu Que?
The Fire Emperor's vision darkened and he almost fainted from anger.
He glared at the guard, gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you see the appearance of the intruder?"
"I … I don't know. This news came from the Moving Mountains Sect. It's said that they saw it with their own eyes. And today, we felt the Imperial Tombs tremble!" The Imperial Guard knelt on the ground and replied anxiously.
The Fire Emperor was infuriated as his killing intent surged out in all directions.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan received the news and rushed over.
"Father, don't worry about this. No one has ever walked out of the Imperial Tombs alive! It doesn't matter if that Zhang Qi Ling is Xu Que or not. He's destined to never return! "Flaming Sun spoke out.
The Fire Emperor calmed down and thought for a few moments before nodding his head, "That's right. Our ancestors designed the Imperial Tombs so that it's easy to enter but difficult to exit. After so many years, it's not as if no one has ever walked out. Nobody has ever walked out!"
"Hence, father, you should focus on recuperating. As for the rebuilding of the Imperial Palace, leave it to your daughter to handle!"
"En!" The Fire Emperor nodded his head and closed his eyes once again.
The Flaming Sun Princess retreated coldly and left with Zi Xuan.
When they reached the side hall, the Flaming Sun Princess spoke out softly, "He's finally gone in. Now, this huge problem has been solved!"
"..." Zi Xuan pursed her lips, her brows furrowed in worry. She felt uneasy and thought that Xu Que might come out.
Because, that person was Xu Que. That person … meant a miracle!
...
...
The news from the Moving Mountains Sect had already spread throughout the entire Imperial City!
Countless commoners and cultivators were shocked!
"Someone actually broke into the Imperial Tombs?"
"Heavens, after a few hundred years, someone actually broke in again!"
"And it's from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Looks like Xu Que has a helper. He just made trouble in the Imperial Palace, and now someone is going to the Imperial Mausoleum to make trouble!"
"So what? None of the people who went in ever came out!"
"No, it's said that Duan Jiude once went in and stole a luminous cup!"
"That's fake. How could someone like Duan Jiude enter the Imperial Mausoleum just to steal a Luminous Cup?"
"Yeah, it should be fake. Even the Fire Emperor didn't care about this rumor!"
"No one can break the restrictive spells in the Imperial Tombs. Even if a Form Synthesis cultivator were to enter, it would be difficult for him to come out!"
"It seems the Exploding Heavens Faction is going to lose a genius!"
…
Nobody believed that Zhang Qi Ling would be able to walk out of the Imperial Tombs. However, the news of him breaking into the Imperial Tombs had caused quite a commotion in the Imperial City. At least the Exploding Heavens Faction became famous once again!
However, this news was quickly overshadowed by another big news.
"The Fire Empire is about to welcome a distinguished guest!"
"I've heard that it's the Water Empress of the Water Nation. She's coming!"
"Yes, I've heard that it's the last test of the Sky Incense Valley. It's going to be held in the Imperial City of the Fire Empire. The test might be related to fire!"
"Heavens, I never thought that I'd be able to see the legendary Water Empress in my lifetime!"
"It's said that the Water Empress' background isn't simple. She used to be the head disciple of the Sky Incense Valley. Now, she's the Water Empress of the Water Nation. However, there's also a rumor that she's the Holy Maiden of a large tribe from overseas!"
"No matter what, the Imperial City will be under curfew for the next few days. Look at how tight the security is!"
"The Imperial Palace is being rebuilt as well. Looks like the Fire Emperor values the Water Empress a lot!"
"Haha, I've heard that the Fire Emperor has admired her for a long time!"
"Shh, don't talk about such things. Don't let your mouth get you into trouble!"
…
The entire city was talking about the Water Empress. The incident of Xu Que robbing tombs couldn't be compared to the popularity of the Water Empress!
At this point in time, Xu Que was already heading deeper into the Ancient Tomb!
After releasing the Emperor's Energy from the corpses of the previous Emperors, Jin Da Pang and the other spirits entered into a state of cultivation. It was as if the Emperor's Energy was of great help to them!
Xu Que didn't interrupt them and allowed them to cultivate as he went deeper into the Ancient Tomb.
According to the map of the Imperial Tombs, the Dragon Veins were located under the Imperial Tombs. There were also numerous restrictive spells set up along the way. Each restrictive spell was powerful enough to kill an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator. Even a Void Training Stage cultivator wouldn't dare to barge in recklessly!
It was a pity that people like Xu Que, who carried the system with him, were able to break through all the restrictive spells by spending 50 act tough points!
"Ding! A restrictive spell has been discovered ahead. Do you want to spend 50 act tough points to break it?"
"Break!"
"Ding! A restrictive spell has been discovered 300 meters ahead. Do you want to …"
"Break!"
"Ding! Ahead …"
"Break!"
…
Xu Que had transformed into a nouveau riche player. Whenever there was a checkpoint, he would throw money at it and advance triumphantly. He was determined to dig out the Dragon Vein and pluck the Genesis Fire Herb that had absorbed countless essences from the Dragon Vein!
However, when he reached the depths of the Ancient Tomb and spent 500 act tough points to break 10 restrictive spells, he found himself in front of a sea of lava!
"Gurgle …"
This was a natural cave. The surroundings were filled with numerous restrictive spells. The boiling lava was bubbling and bubbling!
Before Xu Que could even get close, he could already sense a dangerous aura.
He frowned and asked, "System, where's the Dragon Veins?"
"Ding! After inspection, the Dragon Veins have been placed under the lava by someone with heaven-defying methods. It has disappeared. The system can sense the existence of the Dragon Veins but is unable to locate it. The system recommends that the host collect the blood and sorrow of the descendants of the Dragon Veins' owner in order to lure it out! "
"Damn!" Xu Que cursed.
After so much effort and spending so many act tough points, he was tricked and the Dragon Veins were hidden by someone? Who else could it be? It must be one of the Patriarchs of the Fire Emperor!
This meant that he had to make a trip out to collect the blood and sorrow of the Fire Emperor …
"Wait, system, are you kidding me? What the hell is sorrow? "
"Sorrow refers to tears. Only when the sorrow and the blood are felt by the Dragon Veins can it be drawn out. There's no other way!"
"…"
Xu Que was stumped. Forget about the blood, why did he even need the tears of the Fire Emperor?
No, the tears of the Flaming Sun Princess are fine too. But … to make that woman cry? Hehe, that's a little difficult. I might as well go for the Fire Emperor!
Xu Que shook his head and was extremely depressed. He had finally made it here but was told that the Dragon Veins had disappeared into the lava.
"Eh? Wait, lava … "
All of a sudden, Xu Que seemed to have thought of something.
Gradually, a bright light arose in his eyes while a wisp of a smile suddenly curled up on the corners of his mouth.
"Hehe, you're hiding in the lava right? Alright, I shall suck the lava dry. Let's see how you're going to hide it then! "
Xu Que sneered. He stood up abruptly and started to use his mind.
"God of Hell's Compulsion, activate!"
Boom!
At that moment, a loud explosion could be heard from within Xu Que's body as his meridians expanded.
With a swoosh, Xu Que activated the God of Hell's Compulsion and jumped into the boiling lava!
