Severed limbs and blood flowed like a river. The end of the Path of Light was like the Asura Hell, causing people to tremble in fear.
Even though Ling Xian was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he felt a chill in his heart. Daoist Duobao's face turned pale and his legs went weak.
It was truly too terrifying. As far as the eye could see, there were severed limbs everywhere, and it was ghastly and terrifying.
"Too many have died." Daoist Duobao was terrified and rejoiced.
If he didn't travel with Ling Xian, he would've been buried here.
"Don't forget, this is an emperor's tomb, a tomb with no way out."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The Heaven Protector once ruled the City of Zhi Ge. Even if he didn't ascend to immortality, he was still a powerhouse of humanity.
How could an ordinary person survive his tomb?
"A mausoleum that doesn't have a path of survival. What does that mean?" The Daoist of Duo Bao was startled. He remembered what Ling Xian said when he chose the path of light.
Back then, he didn't believe it. But now, it seems like Ling Xian was right.
"That's exactly what I mean."
Ling Xian sighed, "It doesn't matter if it's the path of darkness or the path of light. Nine out of ten will die and one will survive. What comes next will also be a path of death."
"Wouldn't I definitely die?" Daoist Duobao shivered and wanted to retreat.
"There's no way out, but that doesn't mean we'll definitely die."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "You walk your own path. As long as you have capabilities, so what if there is no chance of survival?"
Daoist Duobao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. His intention to retreat disappeared and was replaced by courage.
He had witnessed Ling Xian's capabilities and naturally, he was more confident.
"Let's go. As long as you block the front and buy me some time, I guarantee that you will be able to escape unscathed."
Ling Xian grinned. It wasn't that he was arrogant, it was that he was confident.
With the inheritance of Taoist Seeking Ghost, even if he were to face the strongest of the Top Ten Terrors in the tomb, he was confident that he could leave with ease.
"Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely do my best." Daoist Duobao smiled obsequiously. He was no longer unwilling.
He led the way and quickly passed through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, arriving at the end of the mausoleum.
The reason why he said it was the end was because there was only a stone wall in front of him.
However, there was a huge Eight Trigrams inscribed on the stone wall.
Divine light flowed, and Daoist Rhymes filled the air. The Eight Trigrams slowly rotated, releasing strange waves.
This made Daoist Duo Bao confused. He shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and revealed a questioning look.
"This is a Teleportation Formation, or rather, eight Teleportation Formations. Every ancient character has the ability to teleport."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. The strange vibrations emitted by the Eight Trigrams were the power of space. Anyone who approaches it will be transported to an unknown place.
"Teleportation Array?" Daoist Duobao was stunned.
"That's right. There is no road ahead. If we want to continue exploring, we have to get closer to the Eight Diagrams." Ling Xian's expression was calm. He was an array grandmaster, so his judgment was not wrong.
"Then which word should we choose?" Daoist Duobao asked.
"Up to you. The eight ancient characters teleport to different places, but there is no difference in essence. They are all equally dangerous."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The Sky Protector Emperor didn't leave a way out, so it didn't matter which choice he made.
"Then let's use the word 'Qian'." Daoist Duobao smiled helplessly and placed his hand on the word 'Qian' of the Eight Trigrams.
Ling Xian was the same.
Instantly, a gentle light appeared and teleported the two of them to an unknown place.
Then, Ling Xian began to frown.
All because there was no Daoist Duobao next to him. In other words, the Teleportation Formation separated them.
"What an interesting Teleportation Formation. Even if I press the same word at the same time, the Teleportation Formation will be disrupted."
"Daoist Duobao, you can only pray for yourself."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He then looked around and checked out this place.
It was a continuous mountain range. As far as the eye could see, it was a majestic mountain range.
Before him, more than 20 cultivators were sitting in a lotus position. There were men, women, young, and old. Every single one of them was carrying a mountain on their back.
Their breathing was heavy and their faces were red. Many of them were bleeding from their mouths.
It was obvious that the mountain on their back was very heavy. Even though they were all extraordinary cultivators, they were about to collapse.
"If this is a test, then it's okay. But, how could this be?"
Ling Xian softly sighed. It was obvious that the Sky Protector wanted to kill everyone who came. How could this be a test?
"Young man, you chose the wrong path."
A white-haired elder spoke, feeling a bit tired, as well as a bit bitter.
"Every single path in the Emperor's Tomb is wrong." Ling Xian sighed. He knew that before long, he will be carrying a mountain on his back.
Sure enough, after a few breaths of time, a towering mountain rose from the ground and landed on his back.
Instantly, Ling Xian's back bent a little and his calves sank into the ground.
However, he did not waver.
Though the mountain was heavy, under the circumstance that he used his Qi, it couldn't hurt him.
"No, you chose the wrong path."
The grey-haired elder looked at Ling Xian, "Do you understand now?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. Then, he revealed a bitter smile.
In a short period of time, the mountain couldn't crush him to death. It couldn't even make him breathe heavily. But what about in the long run?
Once he uses up all his Qi, this mountain will crush him into meat paste!
"Every single path in the Emperor's Tomb is wrong. But if I could choose, I wouldn't have come here."
"The taste of waiting for death is not a good feeling."
The grey-haired elder bitterly smiled, drawing everyone's sighs.
They were all capable cultivators. Or else they wouldn't have been able to get here. They could last 10 days, but they can't last 10 years.
"I don't want to die. I definitely don't want to die like this."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep and his body was emitting light. His Qi poured out in an attempt to crush the mountain.
In the end, he returned empty-handed. Not to mention shattering the mountain, there wasn't even a crack on it.
"Don't waste your energy. If you could crush the mountain, why would we be trapped here?" The grey-haired elder sighed helplessly.
"I can't crush it …" Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
His Qi will run out sooner or later. If he can't leave this place before his Qi runs out, then even if his Qi is on par with the Immortal Physique, he will die for sure.
"We have tried everything we can. We cannot crush the mountain and we cannot destroy this place." The grey-haired elder was regretful and somewhat hopeless.
Everyone else felt the same way.
It was far too difficult to break out of this situation. It was a hopeless situation of certain death!
"There is no way out of this Emperor's Tomb. But I don't believe there is no way out."
Ling Xian's gaze was dark. The enlivener formed a hand seal and searched every corner of this place.
Yet, he found nothing.
"Don't waste your energy. Entering this place is the same as having one foot in the gates of hell. The only difference is when the other foot will step forward."
The grey-haired elder sighed, "If you have the time, why don't you close your eyes and think about the beauty of your life and the regrets of your life."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent.
Scenes from the past quickly flashed through his mind. Then, his conviction became firmer.
The enlivener opened its eyes and created a storm that engulfed the entire mountain range.
This startled everyone. Then, they heard a statement that moved them.
"I have far too many regrets in my life. Therefore, I cannot die."
