Many cultivators were roaming about in the desolate outskirts of Li City. They were all here for the Nine Secrets.
Once the Nine Secrets were revealed, the entire northern region was shaken. All the sects could not remain calm, and even the Clan of the Huanggu clearly wanted to fight for it.
"Caw!"
The old crows cried out miserably, making people's hair stand on end.
This was a desolate graveyard. There were only a few withered trees and old vines. The rest of the place was bare and filled with broken tombstones.
"These people are too much. They won't even let the tombstones go. I really don't know what to say." Ji Ziyue was fuming. She had a somewhat pure temperament.
They didn't know how many tombs they had seen, but they had all been turned over. Each tomb was cracked open, and some bones had even been dug out.
Duan De said, "It's all because of a bronze bell. It revealed the heavenly secrets of the Nine Secrets, so the cultivators of the northern region rushed over."
"Caw, caw, caw …"
In the desolate graveyard, a few old crows flapped their wings and lingered among the skeletons, transmitting an ominous feeling.
"They've already been dug up, so why are we still wasting our energy?" Ji Ziyue was dissatisfied.
"Who do you think I am? I know 5,000 years in the past and 500 years in the future. Just listen to me." Duan De boasted shamelessly. Although his body was bloated, he was very agile. He walked back and forth in this ancient tomb as if he was measuring something.
"Daoist, are you sure you want to dig again here?" Yao Xi's pretty face was full of confusion.
"What I want you to dig is not the surface, but the deeper underground cemetery. More than 10,000 years have passed, the real ancient tombs are buried deep underground, the mausoleum above is nothing." Duan De acted as if he had everything under control.
Ye Fan had already expected this. These people sent him here most likely to use him as a laborer. His cultivation was not high and could not compare to the people before him.
As expected, the task of digging up the tombs fell to him. He didn't mind since it was nothing for the Nine Secrets.
Unfortunately, their luck was not very good. They did dig up an ancient tomb, but it had nothing to do with the ancient clans from 15,000 years ago. There were no Nine Secrets.
At this moment, it was already nighttime, and the world was pitch-black.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the horizon lit up. Someone was fighting.
Two figures tore through the night sky like two small suns. They fought until the sky trembled. The battle was incredibly intense.
"It's Alkaid Saint Child. Who is the other person? He's actually strong enough to contend against him!" Ji Ziyue was astonished.
At this moment, Ji Haoyue's Godly Monarch Physique shone brightly as his battle intent soared. He looked at the night sky and mumbled to himself, "Golden hair, unparalleled battle prowess, could it be the Little Peng King of the demon race?"
Ye Fan had a profound look in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Little Peng King would meet with the Alkaid Saint Child so soon. The two of them were like two deities as they fought and shook the heaven and earth. Then, they disappeared into the horizon.
Ji Haoyue was about to soar into the sky, but Ji Ziyue grabbed his arm and said, "Don't go."
She was worried for her older brother. She knew that those two were both heaven warping geniuses, comparable to the Divine King Body. She didn't want him to participate.
Duan De said, "Fairy Yao, aren't you worried for the Alkaid Saint Child?"
Yao Xi smiled sweetly and said, "You're asking why I didn't go over to help, right? If I helped, he would definitely refuse. In a sense, the Great Emperor Qualification Battle has begun. He won't need my help."
"Great Emperor Qualification Battle …" Ji Haoyue's eyes became even more resplendent. The divine light on the surface of his body burned like a raging fire.
"My blood is also boiling. Unfortunately, my talent is average and I can't compete." Duan De shook his head.
"Little Daoist, why are you silent?" Ji Ziyue asked.
"The Great Emperor Qualification Battle is too far away from me. It's useless to think about it now …" Ye Fan shook his head.
In the next few days, Duan De led the others to dig up hundreds of ancient tombs, but they still found nothing. There were no clues about the Nine Secrets.
Only now did they understand why Duan De cooperated with them. It was a worthwhile trade to find a Godly Monarch Saint Child and a Alkaid Saint Child to do hard labor.
"Duan De, you've been instructing us to dig up tombs everywhere these past few days. We're almost going to turn over these ancient tombs. Are you confident?" Ji Haoyue asked in a low voice.
He couldn't stand the future Divine King doing this all day. He felt that Duan De was tricking them.
"Don't you have an important clue left behind by Gai Jiuyou?" Yao Xi was also a little dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, I can definitely find it. The clue left behind by Gai Jiuyou is very precious. I'm currently searching along this line. Otherwise, do you think that we can still find the ruins of Li City after fifteen thousand years? "
Five days later, Duan De revealed an excited expression and said, "I found it!"
"Did you find the tomb of that ancient family?" Ji Ziyue asked.
"No, I found the ruins of Li City from fifteen thousand years ago!" Duan De answered.
It was a desolate plain with nothing but rubble everywhere. It was more than two hundred kilometers away from the current Li City.
"What's the use of finding the ruins of Li City? It's not the tomb of that ancient family."
Duan De's face was flushed and said, "We can use this city to determine their tomb area. It shouldn't be too far away. The range is much more accurate."
"The world is so big. Don't tell me you want us to turn the surrounding area upside down?" The few of them revealed murderous gazes at him.
"Don't worry. The ancients were very particular about tombs and wouldn't bury people randomly. I have some experience in this field and can determine a few main locations."
On this day, Duan De determined 54 places with good feng shui around the old Li City. However, on this day, other people rushed over from this area.
"We met an expert. Someone made the same judgment as me!" Duan De cried out in alarm.
The number of people multiplied on the second day. This area was filled with figures and cultivators.
"Oh no, the Nine Secrets is indeed world-shocking. Many eccentric people who know about tombs have been invited. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find this place." Duan De frowned.
"So, Taoist priest, you are also an eccentric person?" Yao Xi smiled.
"To put it bluntly, I am indeed an expert in the field of tombs. You guys should know that even the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb didn't trap me."
The few of them knew that he wasn't lying.
In these two days, they dug up 18 selected places with good feng shui. In the end, they were either empty or the tombs of other ancient people.
"Oh no, we chose 54 places and 27 were dug up by others. As expected, we met an expert." Duan De's expression was uncertain.
There were only nine burial areas left and nine tombs to be dug up. If there were no accidents, the mausoleum of the ancient aristocratic family would very likely see the light of day again.
"Let's hurry up and get ahead of them. Otherwise, others will get there before us!" Duan De was anxious. He determined that an expert had arrived.
On this day, more and more people came. Almost all the cultivators smelled the scent and rushed to this old site.
Suddenly, Duan De wiped some dust on his face and used the Bone Shrinking Technique to change his appearance. Changing his appearance like this couldn't change the source of things like the secret technique recorded in the Book of Origin, but it was enough to confuse ordinary people.
Only now did Ye Fan discover that Wu Zhongtian had appeared not far away. He, Li Heishui, Liu Kou, and Jiang Huairen had arrived at this area.
Duan De had dug up someone's ancestral tomb before and naturally felt guilty. If he was discovered, Wu Zhongtian would definitely come and fight him to the death.
"Little Peng King!" Ji Haoyue's eyes were like lightning as he looked toward the horizon. A golden light streaked across the sky and the Little Peng King landed in the distance.
"Brother, don't fight him today!" Ji Ziyue hurriedly pulled him back.
"Could it be that Yao Guang lost?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
"They probably didn't have a true life and death battle that night." Yao Xi looked into the distance because he sensed Yao Guang's aura. His divine power was still as vigorous as the raging fire in a divine furnace.
"The people of the Jiang family are here too!"
Wild beasts roared in the horizon as hundreds of strange beasts rushed over. Powerful knights sat on top of them and their iron clothes flickered. The sky dome rumbled from the trampling of the wild beasts.
"The divine body of the Ji family is here, I can sense his aura!" Ji Haoyue's body was dazzling like a divine rainbow. A bright moon hung high above his head.
In the sky, the hundreds of knights rushed over and landed on the horizon in the distance.
Everyone felt a pair of blazing eyes sweep over them as if they could penetrate into their bones. It was definitely the divine body of the Jiang family!
The top experts of the younger generation could sense each other. Once a battle started, it would definitely be earth-shattering. They all had the qualifications to walk the path of the Great Emperor.
Melodious music, mist, and flower petals danced in the air. A group of white-clothed girls appeared in this world like fairies.
"I didn't expect the people of the Jade Lake to come too …" Yao Xi's beautiful eyes emitted a strange luster.
Ji Ziyue was astonished and said: "The Jade Lake has always stood aloof from worldly affairs and almost never participated in disputes. This time, they actually sent people for the nine secrets. The saintess of the Jade Lake personally came."
"Oh no, I feel that something is wrong. I don't want to stay here any longer." Duan De wanted to retreat.
"What do you mean, Daoist?" Yao Xi asked.
Duan De said to Ye Fan: "Let's run. They are all people with powerful backgrounds. We are poor second generations. Even if we get something here, we can only help others."
"Daoist, you worry too much. We are allies. How could we harm you?" Yao Xi smiled.
"Forget it. The younger generation has appeared. Those old guys must be here too. They are watching in the dark and will jump out at the crucial moment." Duan De's expression was very ugly.
"There are only nine big tombs left. Daoist, are you going to give up just like that?" Ji Haoyue said: "Don't worry. With me here, your life will be safe."
It was almost certain that one of the nine big tombs belonged to that ancient family. Duan De was hesitant.
"Boom!"
It was as if there were thousands of horses galloping. Dozens of ancient chariots rolled across the sky, rumbling and causing the sky to tremble.
"Another holy land, and they are all young experts!"
"Woo …" The horn was deafening.
The clouds in the sky were scattered. A huge golden battleship flew over. It was hundreds of meters long and dazzling with golden light.
Duan De sighed: "Will all the lands of the Great Sage come?"
Ye Fan also spoke, saying, "Why are they all from the younger generation?"
"This is probably arranged by all sides. They want the younger generation to have a real battle to see who is stronger and who is weaker," Yao Xi analyzed.
"Yes, it's not that the old people didn't come. They just didn't show up. I'm afraid the battle for the nine secrets will start among the younger generation first!" Duan De cursed his bad luck.
"Brother, is that so?" Ji Ziyue asked worriedly.
Ji Haoyue's fighting spirit was high. Divine power surged all over his body. A divine moon rose up and intimidated all directions. He nodded: "Yes, it seems like today is the day to decide who is stronger. Let's see who will be invincible in the Eastern Wilderness in the future!"
At the same time, many cultivators of the Jiang family also erupted with fighting spirit. The Jiang family's divine physique had finally come into being.
On the other side, the Yao Guang Saint was like a sun god. He stood alone and shone with tens of thousands of rays of light.
In the distance, the Little Peng King let out a long cry. His golden hair danced in the wind. His tall and sturdy body had an incomparable demonic nature. Terrifying waves shook out, and he looked like he was the only one in the world.
