With so many forked tunnels, Qing Xuan was more or less relieved.
If the Tomb of the Primordial God was really hidden here, and it didn't seem like it was open to anyone, the treasures in the Tomb of the Primordial God were not completely defenseless. In that case, the Feng Long Sect cultivators who entered first might not be able to get the treasures first.
Fortunately, the Feng Long Sect and the Nan Hua Immortal Sect had worked together to scare the experts of the other sects out of the Tomb of the Primordial God. Now, only the experts of the two sects were here to search for treasures. Otherwise, once the news of the Tomb of the Primordial God spread, it would attract a large number of experts from all over the Immortal World, and the situation would become even more complicated.
After about an hour of walking along this path, Qing Xuan, Xiao Lingyu, and the other Nan Hua Immortal Sect cultivators came across another cave with more than ten entrances.
Should they continue to split up or stay together and choose a random cave?
Qing Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not split up. Since it's like this, let's bet on our luck. If we make the wrong choice, we can just go back and choose again."
They chose a random cave, entered it, and continued to move forward slowly with high vigilance.
Every cave had strong divine power fluctuations, and it was impossible to tell which one was the right one. Xiao Lingyu felt that Qing Xuan's suggestion was correct.
According to the situation here, if they continued to split up, they would have to split up in the end.
After splitting up, their ability to resist danger would be reduced by a lot.
Just like that, every hour, they would come across a cave. There were bound to be many cave entrances in the cave. Qing Xuan insisted that everyone stay together.
However, Qing Xuan was a little worried. If his team could stay together, he didn't know what the other four teams would choose.
After repeating this process for dozens of times, a full day had passed. Not only had they not encountered any Feng Long Sect cultivators, but they had also returned to the first cave they had encountered, which was even more depressing.
It was obvious that this was a maze, and it was very advanced. Even though Qing Xuan had purposely left a mark every time they entered a cave, it was inevitable that they would come back again.
Qing Xuan didn't hesitate for long before he chose another cave to enter.
As a result, after a day, everyone returned to their original positions.
"If we continue to delay like this, more and more experts from the Immortal World will arrive," Xiao Lingyu said worriedly.
"Don't worry. Even if there are other experts, it's only one or two of them. If they gather their forces, who knows how long it'll take. Right now, both Feng Long Sect and us have the absolute advantage."
Qing Xuan was not worried about what Xiao Lingyu said. She just felt that it was not a good idea to go on like this, but there was no better way.
If they wanted to quickly determine which cave was the right choice, they would have to split up.
Qing Xuan was a stubborn person. She insisted that they shouldn't split up, so she continued to lead everyone down the cave.
The Nan Hua Immortal School cultivators were trapped in this maze, and so were the Feng Long Sect cultivators.
Although the cultivators of the Fenglong Sect had accidentally received news of the Divine Tomb hidden here, they had only accurately found the entrance and opened it. They didn't know what lay beyond the entrance. Facing this maze, they were both anxious and at a loss.
Both sects had entered this place in large numbers, but they were also like headless flies. Naturally, they would run into each other.
In the beginning, when they met, they would fight to the death. But later, they realized that the conflict between the two sects was not the main point. The main point was to pass through this maze and reach the true location of the Divine Tomb. Therefore, when they met again, they would symbolically exchange a few blows and then retreat.
Qing Xuan was not like this. If the Feng Long Sect cultivators were unlucky enough to run into her, they might lose their lives if they retreated a little slower.
Gradually, Xiao Lingyu also witnessed Qing Xuan's power. He estimated that if he fought with Qing Xuan, unless he immediately hid in his Divine Manor, he would be pierced by the divine sword.
Qing Xuan didn't hate the Feng Long Sect cultivators that much. It was just that being trapped here made her very impatient and temperamental. Naturally, the Feng Long Sect cultivators became her only choice to vent her anger.
In fact, many of the Feng Long Sect's true experts would show no mercy if they encountered the Nan Hua Immortal School cultivators.
The walls of these caves were very hard. Even with Qing Xuan's divine sword, she could only cut off a few small rocks each time. It wasn't a good choice to use them to pave the way.
"The cultivators from our two sects have spent so much time searching through almost all of the caves. However, we failed to find anything. I suspect that none of the caves lead to our destination," Qing Xuan said angrily. "That's right.
"I have the same feeling. And I think we should go back and take a look," Xiao Lingyu said, pointing in the direction they came from.
"Although I think your suggestion is probably useless, there's no harm in going back and taking a look."
Qing Xuan then followed Xiao Lingyu's suggestion and led the Nan Hua Immortal School cultivators back.
Soon, the group of Nan Hua Immortal School cultivators reached the bottom of the whirlpool at the center of Jade Light Lake, where they first landed.
What everyone did not expect was that, just as Xiao Lingyu had expected, there was indeed a problem here. Originally, there was a blocked mountain rock facing the maze, but now, there was a deep and dark passage.
"Oh no, the Feng Long Sect is one step ahead of us again."
After Qing Xuan spoke, she directly rushed into the passageway, and the people behind her followed one after another.
When they first landed, they didn't think there would be anything behind them. They all focused on the front and plunged into the maze.
The cultivator who designed this place was very good at manipulating everyone's thoughts, so he placed the real entrance in a place where no one would notice.
When Xiao Lingyu thought of this, the cultivators of Feng Long Sect were also smart. They also thought of this and reacted faster than the cultivators of Nan Hua Immortal Sect.
"If you had such a guess, why didn't you say it earlier?" Qing Xuan said impatiently as she led the group.
Xiao Lingyu could only smile bitterly at this. He secretly cursed Qing Xuan for being too unreasonable. She actually forgot that when he suggested it earlier, she said it was most likely useless.
There was no maze in this passageway. Although it was also winding, it only took them an hour to reach the end of the passageway.
The passage was very dark, but the end was very bright and spacious.
Standing at the end of the passageway and looking up, there was a scene of paradise in front of him. In the distance, there were flowers and grass, and there was also a gurgling stream. However, in the center of this world, there was a towering mountain that looked like a sharp cone.
When Qing Xuan flew into this world, she could clearly feel that her body had passed through a layer of invisible restriction. Thus, after Qing Xuan flew in, she turned around and walked a few steps. When she discovered that the layer of restriction didn't prevent her from returning, her heart relaxed slightly. She then called for everyone to enter.
Then, everyone flew toward the mountain under Qing Xuan's lead.
At the mountainside, everyone could clearly see the entrance to a cave. They could also see that there were two cultivators guarding it.
The two cultivators were probably left outside by the Feng Long Sect experts. When they saw a large group of Nan Hua Immortal School experts coming, they immediately entered the cave.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge stone tablet that was thousands of feet tall. There were many small words on the tablet.
Xiao Lingyu and the others carefully looked at the small words on the tablet and found that there were names written on it. It was like the martyrs' monuments on Earth, recording the names of countless heroes and martyrs.
"It seems that this is indeed the location of the Tomb of the Gods. However, the Tomb of the Gods doesn't only have one ancient deity like in the legends. There are many of them," Qing Xuan said with narrowed eyes.
They weren't in a hurry to enter the cave. Instead, they turned to the back of the tablet and saw four large words — Death to all trespassers!
These four words were written with bold and forceful strokes. Xiao Lingyu, Qing Xuan, and the other Nan Hua Immortal School cultivators took a second look. However, after a moment, they felt as if countless sharp swords were slashing toward them with unstoppable momentum. They couldn't help but take a few steps back.
They originally thought that this was a trap left behind by the ancient experts to scare them. However, after taking half a step back, they felt their sea of consciousness churning as if countless sharp swords were slashing deep into their heads. Their blood surged and they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Even Xiao Lingyu, who hid her soul in the Chaos Demonic Nascent Soul, was no exception.
Everyone then flew far away with fear lingering in their hearts, not daring to look at those words again.
"Senior Sister, should we hurry in? Feng Long Sect's people have been in there for a long time," an Immortal Emperor suggested.
"Don't be too hasty. The four words on the tablet are enough to hurt our minds. The Godly Tomb must be even more dangerous. It might not be a good idea to go in first."
Despite saying so, Qing Xuan still flew toward the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain.
This mountain looked like a mountain, but in fact, it was a tomb where countless ancient gods were buried. It was just that it was a bit bigger.
The cave in the belly of the mountain seemed to be the real entrance to the Godly Tomb, but it was so obvious that no one would think that it was a safe passage.
"You guys stay here first. I'll take a look around."
After Qing Xuan said this, she flew away from the entrance of the cave and circled around the huge tomb to check it out.
About ten minutes later, Qing Xuan flew back and said, "There's nothing out of the ordinary."
After thinking for a while, Qing Xuan said to Xiao Lingyu, "This time, I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Xiao to lead the way with me."
