"Junior Brother, could it be that you want me to praise you or shed tears of gratitude before you feel better?" Qing Xuan asked with a strange smile, his back still facing Xiao Lingyu.
"That's not it. I'm not the kind of person who likes to take credit and ask for rewards. I'm very honest and don't like to cause trouble. However, Senior Sister, you really shouldn't have dragged me into the fire pit," Xiao Lingyu said pointedly.
"Your attitude has always been unclear. You're not a member of my faction, so I naturally had to keep dragging you along."
Qing Xuan said matter-of-factly, "Facts have proven that my choice was correct. If I didn't drag you along, I'm afraid I would have died by now."
Xiao Lingyu said resentfully, "I'm still alive now, but we're trapped in this place. God knows when we'll die together!"
Qing Xuan didn't reply, but Xiao Lingyu continued, "However, to be able to die together with a beauty like Senior Sister and be buried in this place where the gods are buried, the heavens have treated me well."
"I know you're afraid of death …"
"Everyone is afraid of death." Xiao Lingyu didn't wait for Qing Xuan to finish speaking before continuing. Although it was rude, he didn't need to be too polite to Qing Xuan in this situation.
In Xiao Lingyu's opinion, if Qing Xuan hadn't been so impatient and eager to obtain the treasure, the two of them wouldn't have been trapped in this situation.
Xiao Lingyu viewed this place as a hopeless situation. It would be harder for the two of them to escape than to climb to the heavens.
"Junior Brother, you'd better think of a way to escape from this place."
Qing Xuan turned around and saw that Xiao Lingyu was already dressed properly. His expression returned to normal, and it was only then that he began to look around carefully.
"Senior Sister, think carefully. I'll continue to recuperate," Xiao Lingyu said with a shrug.
"This might be useful to you," Qing Xuan said as he tossed a jade bottle containing two pills to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu threw it back and said, "It's useless."
Qing Xuan frowned and gritted her teeth with a hateful look. After letting out a cold snort, she put away the jade bottle.
What Qing Xuan didn't know was that her elixirs were indeed useless for Xiao Lingyu because they were immortal elixirs and Xiao Lingyu was a devil cultivator.
After a few more days, the stone coffins above their heads once again flew out of the small cave and fluttered about the space in the belly of the mountain. From below, the two of them could hear the miserable screams of the cultivators after they were hit.
It was obvious that someone else had found this place.
Not long after, the stone coffins flew back, and all the cultivators who entered this time naturally lost their lives.
Xiao Lingyu stroked his chin and said, "If this goes on, all the cultivators from Nan Hua Immortal School and Feng Long Sect will die here, except for the two of us."
"I didn't expect that I would personally lead most of the experts from my own sect to a dead end."
Qing Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "This is good too. I don't have to think about the fight between the sects anymore."
"What's the use of fighting for those things? As long as you cultivate and work hard to pass the tribulation to become a god, everything else is fleeting. "Xiao Lingyu looked very disdainful.
Qing Xuan shook her head and said, "There are some things that you don't know. If you knew, you would probably fight for them too and be more enthusiastic than anyone else."
"Can you tell me in detail?" Xiao Lingyu seemed to be curious.
Qing Xuan pondered for a moment and seemed to be hesitant. After a while, she sighed and said, "Sigh, since I don't want to do it anymore, there's no harm in telling you. After all, we might not be able to get out. The reason why we are fighting is not for the position of Sect Master, nor is it to become famous. It's just that once we become Sect Master, we can obtain the ancient divine artifact, Nanhua Bowl. If we can refine the Nanhua Bowl, our chances of passing the tribulation will increase by thirty percent. "
Xiao Lingyu could imagine that only the Sect Master was qualified to possess the Nanhua Bowl. That was why the Nan Hua Immortal School had a tradition of fighting for the position of Sect Master.
"Right now, the Nanhua Bowl should be with Sect Master Senior Brother Qing Pingzi, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Haha, of course. However, only when you reach the Immortal Venerable realm and possess divine power can you completely refine the Nanhua Bowl and use part of its power. Now, the Nanhua Bowl is almost useless in the hands of that old fox, Qing Pingzi, "Qing Xuan said with a smile.
"If Qing Pingzi reaches the Immortal Venerable realm, you guys won't have a chance. No wonder you guys are in a hurry to cause trouble." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"Yes. Only when the Sect Masters reach the Immortal Venerable realm can they be considered as the Sect Master. The strength of an Immortal Venerable who possesses the Nanhua Bowl should be extremely terrifying. In the history of our Nan Hua Immortal Sect, no Sect Master who has reached the Immortal Venerable realm has ever lost the position of Sect Master or the Nanhua Bowl. They will only pass the Nanhua Bowl to their descendants after passing the tribulation, "Qing Xuan replied.
"Senior Sister, don't be too depressed. There are many ways to pass the tribulation. You don't have to rely on the Nanhua Bowl." Xiao Lingyu comforted.
"Junior Brother, you ascended from the Cultivation World, right?" Qing Xuan suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu answered honestly.
"Junior Brother must know how powerful the Immortal Tribulation is, but no matter how powerful the Immortal Tribulation is, there are only ten to twenty percent of the cultivators who can successfully transcend it. Most of the late Immortal Venerables who possess divine weapons wouldn't dare to face it. Many late Immortal Venerables are suppressing their cultivation progress so that they can face the God Tribulation later. "Qing Xuan said bitterly.
Xiao Lingyu had just ascended not long ago, so he had never thought about the God Tribulation. Hearing Qing Xuan's words, he was more or less worried about himself.
The tribulation he was about to face was the Chaotic Divine Tribulation, which was three times more powerful than the God Tribulation. If the late Immortal Venerables who possessed Divine Weapons were afraid of the God Tribulation, then the Chaotic Divine Tribulation must be even more terrifying.
It was true that Xiao Lingyu possessed a Divine Weapon, but after meeting many experts in the Immortal and Devil Worlds, he realized that Divine Weapons weren't rare treasures in the Immortal and Devil Worlds. Many Emperor Realm cultivators had them. His magical treasures and equipment were superior to those below the Emperor Realm, but they wouldn't be superior to those at the Emperor Realm or Venerable Realm.
After all, the worlds used to be together in the ancient times. Although the worlds were separated, it was impossible for the ancient experts to bring all their Divine Weapons to the Divine World.
"Unless one possesses a Supreme Divine Weapon or a High Divine Weapon of high quality, no late Immortal Venerable can guarantee that they can pass the God Tribulation successfully. Even in ancient times, supreme-grade Divine Weapons were considered high-end magic treasures. Even if there were supreme-grade Divine Weapons left behind by ancient experts, many cultivators who had survived the Divine Tribulation had brought them to the God Realm over the years. Today, except for some treasures that must be passed down, there are almost no Supreme Divine Weapons left in the Divine World. The Nan Hua Bowl of our Nan Hua Immortal Sect is a High Divine Weapon of high quality. Cultivators like us who have reached the late Immortal Venerable realm have less than ten percent chance of passing the God Tribulation, but the Nan Hua Bowl can increase our chances of passing the God Tribulation by thirty percent. It's easy to imagine why everyone covets it so much, "Qing Xuan explained in detail since she had nothing else to do.
Xiao Lingyu's heart sank. He thought to himself, "It seems that I have to make more preparations before facing the Chaotic Divine Tribulation."
While the two were talking, the sarcophagi above moved again and screams were heard again.
Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly at the sight of the dancing sarcophagi. I don't even know if I can leave this place alive. Why should I think about the distant Chaotic Divine Tribulation?
In the following days, Xiao Lingyu and Qing Xuan didn't talk much. Occasionally, the cultivators who came in from the outside would trigger the sarcophagi, making them feel more and more helpless and hopeless.
The news that an exit had appeared on the Godly Tomb Continent quickly spread. The cultivators who were warned by the Nan Hua Immortal Sect and Feng Long Sect to leave the Godly Tomb Continent cursed the two sects for their shamelessness while teleporting back to the Godly Tomb Continent. Without hesitation, they dove into the deep whirlpool at the center of Jade Light Lake.
The cultivators who came later wouldn't be trapped in the maze. Even if they didn't find anything in the maze, they would run to the place where the real Divine Tomb was hidden.
It was better if they didn't come. Anyone who entered the mountain passage of the huge tomb would die.
Even if none of the cultivators who went in before came out, it didn't stop the cultivators who came later. They still rushed in and were smashed to death by the sarcophagi.
The legend of the Divine Tomb had been around for a long time. It was said that there was an ancient divine artifact in the Divine Tomb. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even some of the big sects were scrambling for it. Only a few experts who heard about the opening of the Divine Tomb Continent could remain calm and didn't go in.
Xiao Lingyu and Qing Xuan, who were trapped at the bottom of the mountain, were numb to the flying sarcophagi and the screams of the cultivators. However, they didn't feel good seeing others die here. It wasn't sympathy, but worry about their own situation.
The two of them were trapped here for a full two months. After another wave of cultivators were smashed to death by the stone coffins, the stone coffins did not return to their small caves like before. Instead, they continued to dance in the space inside the mountain. The hexagonal star diagram at the top of the mountain and the mysterious runes on the stone walls of the mountain all sped up their circulation. A powerful and evil aura surged in the entire space inside the mountain.
What was even more terrifying and strange was that the sarcophagi collided with each other while flying, as if they wanted to help each other break the shackles of the sarcophagi.
"Our peaceful days are coming to an end," Xiao Lingyu said with a wry smile.
"Haha, it's better than being trapped here forever," Qing Xuan said with a faint smile. He didn't seem to be afraid.
The entire belly of the mountain was shaking, and at some point, the tombstone that was originally standing outside the tomb had actually appeared in the belly of the mountain.
The names engraved on the tombstone left the tombstone and entered the sarcophagi.
Boom!!!
When all the small characters disappeared, the tombstone suddenly exploded, and then the sarcophagi stopped flying. The runes on the stone walls of the belly of the mountain also gradually disappeared. Only the hexagonal starlight pattern at the top of the mountain was still releasing a terrifying aura and radiance.
Then, something happened that made Xiao Lingyu and Qing Xuan's scalp tingle —
The sarcophagi that were quietly floating in the air opened at the same time. Then, the heads of the cultivators were exposed.
