Ever since an ancient cultivator invented the tombs of cultivators that could move, the ancient treasure-seeking cultivators that specialized in geomancy and geomancy had been very distressed.
At that time, many geomancy cultivators had managed to pinpoint the location of the ancient tomb with great difficulty and were ready to enter the tomb. However, they had no idea where the ancient tomb under their feet had run off to … making them very depressed.
But... even if the tomb of a cultivator could move on its own, wasn't it a bit too far for it to run off to outer space?
The nearby Miss Chu Chu was dumbfounded. What did she just hear? The tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?
Are we going to explore the tomb of a Venerable?
In the past, Chu Chu wouldn't have dared to think of such a thing!
But ever since she met Song Shuhang, she had seen several Venerables. Some were alive, and some were dead.
...
...
After flying for a while, the immortal boat started to slow down.
Venerable Septuagint pointed at a distant meteorite emitting a golden light and said, "We have arrived. It's just in front of us. Do you see that big shining meteorite? That should be the tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue. "
Inside the meteorite?
Song Shuhang ridiculed once again. Just what kind of method did the tomb of a cultivator have to move in order to enter a meteorite in outer space?!
Moreover, this dazzling golden light... were all the cultivators wandering in outer space blind? How come none of them discovered the tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?
The immortal boat stopped next to the meteorite. Only then did Song Shuhang discover that the golden light was actually a defensive barrier that prevented the immortal boat from entering.
"Right. Little friend Shuhang Little Friend, you can already use your true qi, right? Before entering the tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, I happen to have a small technique I want to teach you. Inside the tomb, you will surely need to use this technique, "Venerable Septuagint said with a smile.
"Senior, what kind of technique is it?" Song Shuhang asked.
"It's the 'secret sound transmission technique' that I promised you earlier. I was supposed to teach you after you defeated the hundred giants. I said it was a magical technique. But the secret sound transmission technique is a very simple technique to circulate true qi. You can learn it very quickly, "Venerable Septuagint said.
"Eh? But Senior, I haven't defeated those hundred giants yet, right? "
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue laughed and said, "Ahaha. When Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue adjusts the gravity to five times, you should be considered to have passed. "
Under three times the gravity, Song Shuhang had already grasped the technique of fighting giant creatures. Using the terrain, he could easily slay the giants that had a 'fatal weakness'.
At that time, if the Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue hadn't increased the gravity by five times... Shuhang did have a chance to kill the hundred giants.
…
…
Thereupon, Venerable Septuagint started to teach Song Shuhang how to use the secret sound transmission technique before entering the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
Using Secret Voice Transmission was to circulate one's zhenqi into a single thread and transmit the words one wanted to say directly into another's ears through the zhenqi.
Very hidden, very practical. Especially in space, where sound could not travel, this skill was simply a godly skill.
As the Venerable One said, it was not difficult to learn Secret Voice-transmission.
Under the guidance of Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue... Five minutes later, Song Shuhang had more or less grasped the technique of using the secret sound transmission technique.
When it was used, the sound was a little intermittent, with a bit of the rigidity of a robot's voice. At least the others could understand him.
That was enough.
…
…
After Song Shuhang had learned how to use the secret sound transmission technique, Venerable Septuagint said, "In that case, we have to find a way to break this barrier. Otherwise, we won't be able to enter the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue."
Yu Jiaojiao asked, "How do we break it?"
"It's very simple. Just stare at that golden barrier. Did you discover anything?" Venerable Septuagint pointed at the golden barrier.
Song Shuhang and the others looked at the golden barrier that looked like a nouveau riche.
Soon... Everyone could see the difference in the barrier. Above the golden barrier, a window-like shape vaguely appeared. Inside the window, the silhouette of a woman could be seen sitting upright.
"Hiss ~" Song Shuhang suddenly shivered when he saw the silhouette of the woman. He felt a chill run down his spine.
What's happening? Just looking at the silhouette of the woman made him shiver?
"What's that?"
Venerable Septuagint said, "The shadow of the dead is the most common thing found in the ancient tombs of cultivators. After the death of a powerful cultivator, the aura of death emitted from their body will fuse with the restrictions of the ancient tomb and transform into the shadow of the dead. If we want to enter the barrier of the ancient tomb... The first thing we need to do is to pass through the shadow of the dead. "
At this time, Chu Chu also said, "I feel a chill run down my spine whenever I see the shadow of the dead."
Song Shuhang wasn't the only one who felt a chill run down his spine.
Song Shuhang recalled the dreamland memories of She Lan of the Thousand Hands Sect. There were indeed memories related to barriers.
However, the barriers he saw in the dreamland were covered with mosaics. Moreover, She Lan remembered that they had to use brute force to break the barrier while exploring the tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
According to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's words, the barrier of the nouveau riche metal wasn't something that could be broken by brute force...
...
...
The immortal boat stopped, and the door opened.
Venerable Septuagint used the 'Turtle Breathing Technique' and a defensive formation on the bodies of Song Shuhang and the others to ensure that they could survive in space without worrying about breathing, pressure, radiation, and so on.
Chu Chu, Song Shuhang, Yu Jiaojiao, and Li Yinzhu got down from the immortal boat and landed on the edge of the barrier of the ancient tomb.
How should they open the barrier?
"Do you want to try the secret technique of our clan? My father, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, is very experienced in breaking seals," Yu Jiaojiao said.
While speaking, she stretched out her right claw, and five balls of water appeared on it. "Secret technique, Water of the Black River!"
According to the legends, there was a black river in the ancient Heavenly Palace. The water of the river could wash away all seals and Runes. Even if a powerful magical treasure fell into the river, the Runes on it would be washed away by the water of the black river, turning it into an ordinary tool.
The secret technique developed by True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, the 'Water of the Black River', also had the miraculous effect of breaking seals.
Just as Yu Jiaojiao stretched out her right claw, the 'Shadow of the Dead' on the barrier of the Rich Man Gold seemed to have come to life and teleported in front of Yu Jiaojiao.
Then, she stretched out her palm and stroked forward.
Yu Jiaojiao's secret technique, Water of the Black River, was broken, and her body was sent flying by the Shadow of the Dead...
Venerable Septuagint said from behind, "We can't use brute force. This is the barrier of the ancient tomb of the Venerable realm. It won't be so easy to break it."
"What should we do in that case?" Chu Chu asked.
Venerable Septuagint said, "Why don't we try to communicate with the Shadow of the Dead on the golden barrier? Perhaps we'll get some additional hints."
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Why do I feel that Venerable Septuagint is a guidebook or a guide to an adventure?
...
...
Following Venerable Septuagint's hint, Chu Chu tried to communicate with the 'Shadow of the Dead' on the golden barrier … and she succeeded!
The Shadow of the Dead was surprisingly easy to talk to. After offering a spirit stone of the Fourth Stage as a tribute, the Shadow of the Dead gave a hint: There is a dry well on the edge of the ancient tomb. If you dig this dry well, you can obtain a piece of metal. That is the key to open the ancient tomb's barrier. ]
Song Shuhang stepped forward and handed over a spirit stone of the Fourth Stage. Speaking of which, after handing over this spirit stone, why did he only have 11 spirit stones left?
Strange, one spirit stone was missing?
Could it be that he remembered incorrectly? Impossible! He clearly remembered that there were 12 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage in total, and more than half of one of them had been used.
Where did the missing spirit stone go?
But now was not the time to study the disappearance of the spirit stone.
After thinking for a while, Song Shuhang took the remaining spirit stones out of the 'size-reducing purse' and put them in a zippered sealed pocket of his clothes.
Then, he looked at the dry well.
...
...
Following the hint given by the Shadow of the Dead, they dug up the dry well, and sure enough, they dug up a piece of metal.
The metal piece was engraved with a bird and a fish pattern.
"How do I use this key?" Song Shuhang grabbed the metal piece and reached out to touch the bird pattern curiously.
"Crack, crack, crack ~"
The Nouveau Riche Gold Barrier made a teeth-numbing sound, and finally, a three-meter-high entrance was opened. Not only the barrier, but an entrance also appeared on the large meteorite. This was the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Song Shuhang tried to press on the 'fish' engraved on the metal plate.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The barrier gate and the meteorite passage that had just been opened were closed again.
Two buttons, one on and one off.
"..." Song Shuhang said, "Is this a remote control key?"
A lot of modern technology had been destroyed by the ancient cultivators back in ancient times.
* * * * *
Song Shuhang pressed on the bird pattern once more.
The barrier opened, and the group entered in a single file.
After passing through the meteorite passage, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb.
A tombstone was erected at the entrance, and six ancient characters were written on it: 'Grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue'.
These six ancient characters alone contained a formidable power.
Chu Chu felt a powerful pressure as soon as she got close to the tombstone, and her heartbeat started to accelerate uncontrollably.
Only after arriving at this place did the surrounding environment match the scene in Song Shuhang's dreamland.
The real danger was about to begin. Song Shuhang clearly remembered that 'mister' of the Thousand Hands Sect, She Lan, relied on his exquisite secret skills to eliminate all the traps and enter the ancient tomb. But before he could reach the real area of the ancient tomb, he carelessly triggered a trap and lost all four of his limbs, turning him into a human stick.
But right at this time, Venerable Septuagint said, "Everyone has to be careful from now on. From this point onwards, we will enter the real area of the tomb of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue. There are dangers everywhere. Come, let's enter. Let's truly experience the excitement of the tomb of a cultivator! "
"Miss Chu Chu, wait a moment. There is a trap ten centimeters in front of you to the right. Don't step on it. "
"Little friend Shuhang Little Friend, pay attention to the surroundings. Although it's only the front part of the ancient tomb, there are some pretty good things hidden in the surroundings. "
Senior Septuagint... your understanding of the ancient tomb has already reached the level of 'knowing the back of your hand', right? (To be continued.)
