Inside the tomb, red fog permeated the air like a beast with its mouth wide open.
Ling Xian's expression turned serious. He didn't think he would run into a mutated fog.
If this was a regular fog, he was confident he could make it disappear. But this mutated fog was 10 times stronger than regular fog. Even if he had a way to counter it, he may not be safe.
"No wonder we didn't run into any terrors on our way here. They were all consumed by the fog." The elder smiled bitterly.
The fog was the number one terrors in the tomb. As long as it is in the tomb, all terrors will be consumed by it.
This was why the fog was able to mutate.
Before, the elder was happy that he didn't run into any terrors. But now, he realized he was happy too early.
The fog itself was terrifying. The mutated fog was even more insane. Even Supremes were afraid of it.
"This is the first time I've seen this fog." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He didn't think his first encounter would be the terrifying red fog.
Luckily, he had a way to counter it and the Swallowing Ying Tooth. Or else he would have to return.
"What should I do? Should I go in or retreat? "The elder couldn't make up his mind.
"Are you willing to retreat?"
Ling Xian grinned. The mysterious power could only be found in the deepest part of the tomb. In other words, if he wants to advance on the path of the undying soul and the undying physique, he must go through the fog.
"No. My biggest dream in this life is not to become an immortal, but to explore all the different tombs in the world."
The elder shook his head, "It is rare for me to run into the undying tomb. If I don't reach the end, I won't be able to rest in peace."
"Then let's go. With the Swallowing Ying Tooth and the way to counter it, we won't die."
Ling Xian grinned and formed a hand seal. Heavenly light lit up the tomb.
It was the Seal of Holiness.
This technique was created by the Ghost Seeker. It can counter both spirits and fog.
Immediately, the red fog rolled and solidified into the silhouette of a beast that fought against the holy light.
"It is no wonder it is a mutated beast. It can counter the seal." Ling Xian sighed. The technique created by the Ghost Seeker was extremely powerful. Even the second ranked spirit cannot defend against the Seal of Holiness.
But the red fog could. It was not hard to imagine how terrifying it was.
"You truly are powerful. However, your secret technique is even better." The elder squinted his eyes, finding it hard to conceal his shock.
He knew Ling Xian was capable, but not even in his dreams did he think Ling Xian would be able to suppress the mutated fog.
"Secret techniques alone cannot allow us to safely pass through the fog. Luckily, you have the Tooth of the Swallowing Yin." Ling Xian softly grinned and summoned the beast tooth.
Suddenly, a mysterious power descended. Although it was not as powerful as the Holy Light, it could still restrain the red ghost fog.
If before, Ling Xian merely had the upper hand, then now, he had completely suppressed the fog.
This made the elder happy. Ling Xian smiled as well.
Therefore, he faintly grinned, "The fog has been suppressed by me. We can pass."
As he spoke, his left hand formed a divine seal, and his right hand held the beast fang as he walked into the mist.
The old man followed closely behind.
Heavenly light filled the air and the strength of the beast's tooth engulfed the area. The red fog retreated and did not dare to approach Ling Xian and the elder.
Therefore, the two of them were unimpeded and after a while, they left the range of the fog.
"Teaming up with you was the right decision. If I was alone, I would have to return home." The elder chuckled, feeling lucky that he knew Ling Xian.
"Don't be too happy yet. The owner of the tomb is the biggest problem." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. Though the red fog was terrifying, because he had a way to suppress it, it wasn't much of a problem.
"I hope the owner of the tomb isn't too strong." The elder peered into the depths of the tomb.
"Normal cultivators cannot build an immortal tomb." Ling Xian softly sighed. Even he, the inheritor of the Ghost Seeker's inheritance, cannot build an immortal tomb. It wasn't hard to imagine how extraordinary the owner of the tomb was.
"Let's go. Soon, we will be able to see the owner." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. He wasn't excited to see the owner of the tomb, he was excited to see the mysterious power.
If he can absorb it, he will be able to take a giant step forward on the path of the undying soul and the undying physique.
Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
After some time, he saw a pile of skulls and the owner of the tomb.
It was a skinny elder. Like a candle in the wind, he could extinguish at any moment.
He was sitting on top of a pile of human bones. Holding onto a knife made out of gold, he was carving a skull.
Ling Xian's expression froze. The elder reacted the same way.
Though the skinny elder's life was no more, the Qi he emitted was definitely one of the most powerful beings in the world!
"You are the owner of the tomb?" Ling Xian's expression was serious. He didn't feel the mysterious power.
"I guess so."
The skinny elder carved the skull, "To be able to get here, you are quite capable."
"You are flattering me. I wonder if you can let me pass?" Ling Xian's gaze was deep. There was no mysterious power here, he had to go deeper.
"No."
The elder spoke softly, "While I am in a good mood, get the hell out of here. If you are late, you will have to leave behind your skull."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. He didn't want to leave just like that.
But there was nothing he could do.
The skinny elder was the most powerful being in the world. Even if the Tooth of Swallowing Yin counters this person, Ling Xian was no opponent.
"It looks like I will have to return home." Ling Xian softly sighed. He could feel that the mysterious power was right before him. Sadly, the elder would not let him pass.
Just then, he suddenly frowned as he sensed three different types of Qi.
"My chance is here." Ling Xian softly grinned and pulled the elder back.
Then, three chariots entered his sight. All of them were heaven-shattering and earth-shattering.
After seeing Ling Xian and the elder, the Supremes from the three forces revealed a look of awe.
When they entered, there were tens of thousands of people behind them. Yet none of them could pass through the fog.
Even Heaven's Favorites like the Sage of Calligraphy couldn't pass.
"Interesting. Two cultivators of the sage realm can safely pass through the mutant fog." The Supremes from the Taichu House smiled.
"The red fog is comparable to Supremes. These two must have a secret technique to counter it."
The Supremes from the Bai Clan stared at Ling Xian and then shifted their gaze to the skinny elder, "Let's leave. This place is ours."
"Leave?" The skinny elder laughed, not hiding his sarcasm at all.
Though the Tomb of the Undying could grant him immortality, it came at the cost of his freedom. The moment he leaves this place, his soul will be destroyed.
The skinny elder mocked, "You are talking nonsense."
"I am not talking nonsense. If I leave now, at least I can die with dignity."
The Supremes from the Bai Clan spoke softly, "If I don't leave, I won't even have a complete corpse."
"How are you so sure you can kill me?" The skinny elder teased, not at all flustered.
"If you are one of us, we will turn around and leave. Sadly, your cultivation level is the same as ours."
The Supremes from the Bai Clan glared at the skinny elder, "If we work together, killing you will be as easy as flipping our palms."
"That is true. But why are you so sure that I am the only owner of the tomb?" The skinny elder teased.
"What do you mean?" The Supremes from the Bai Clan frowned.
"Come out. Someone wants our home. If we don't show ourselves, our home will be gone." The skinny elder teased.
