With the battle over, the four of them began to rest.
Wang Chong had suffered the heaviest injuries, but the Evil Emperor, Chief Wushang, and Jili Laozu were also heavily injured. The four of them were severely weakened, and in this place filled with traps, they could lose their lives at any moment.
Moreover, no one knew when the martial artists from the other sects, the mysterious men in black, and the equally cruel and callous Origin Immortal Villagers would come in.
Before that, they needed to recover as quickly as possible so that they could continue their exploration.
Recovering energy underground was no easy task, but with the help of the third-generation successor, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Bang!
A palm pressed down on Wang Chong's shoulder, pouring in Origin Immortal Stellar Energy. The symptoms of Wang Chong's cultivation defect were first suppressed, and Jili Laozu's recovery pills immediately mostly healed.
After treating his own injuries, Wang Chong had the third-generation successor pour his energy into the bodies of the Evil Emperor, Chief Wushang, and Jili Laozu. With the help of a half-step Origin Immortal Art successor, the trio's injuries healed much faster than expected.
"Let's go!"
A few moments later, the Evil Emperor stood up and looked forward. The others were still in the rear, and the earlier they could enter the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury, the earlier they could obtain the world's number one Origin Immortal Art.
"Chong-er, did you find that thing?"
As they continued forward, the Evil Emperor brought up the rear and sent a strand of Psychic Energy into Wang Chong's mind.
"No. His consciousness is in tatters. I only managed to obtain the first layer of the Origin Immortal Art. I didn't get anything else. "
Wang Chong knew what his master, The Evil Emperor, was asking, so he replied using his psychic energy as well.
In this battle, Wang Chong had not only gained control of the third-generation successor, but had also gained some other benefits. A simple scan of Wang Chong's Psychic Energy allowed him to gain a basic understanding of how the Origin Immortal Art worked.
The consciousness fragment of the 3rd Generation Successor was a huge treasure to a Soul Warlock like Wang Chong.
As Wang Chong used the Beast Taming Art to control him, he also obtained his fragmented memories. Most importantly, Wang Chong had obtained the first layer of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art.
This was definitely an unexpected gain.
"The Origin Immortal Lord's plans were flawless. He wouldn't have easily allowed us to obtain the complete Origin Immortal Art from these walking corpses. However, for you to be able to obtain the first level of the cultivation technique is already quite good. At the very least, it will be able to help your internal injuries to a certain extent. "
These last words were the true goal of the Evil Emperor.
The Origin Immortal Art's dispelling abilities were simply too terrifying, and only the Origin Immortal Art could deal with the nearly one thousand kinds of chaotic Stellar Energies in Wang Chong's body.
"Your disciple is already doing his best to comprehend it!"
Wang Chong sternly said.
The first layer of the Origin Immortal Art had more than three thousand characters, each one so profound and cryptic that an ordinary person would find it impossible to understand.
Time was limited, so Wang Chong could only compare the circulation of the Origin Immortal Art with the third-generation successor to speed up his comprehension.
Comprehending the Origin Immortal Art in a single night was impossible. But for Wang Chong, comprehending the Origin Immortal Art was already of great help to his cultivation defect.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the underground palace. Behind the palace guarded by the third-generation successor was a long corridor.
The cyan metal walls were engraved with some mysterious patterns, as well as some complicated patterns. Each of these images depicted a scene from the apocalypse.
All of them exuded a mysterious aura.
Even Jili Laozu could vaguely sense that this underground cave was not as simple as a treasury.
"Careful!"
Halfway through the corridor, Jili Laozu suddenly called out, his eyes looking forward with extreme caution.
"Up ahead is the territory of the second-generation successor. Everyone has seen the strength of the third-generation successor, but the second-generation is even more terrifying. Everyone must not be careless!"
In an instant, all was silent. The entire long corridor was dead silent. An invisible tension was spreading in the air.
"Chong-er, are you ready?"
The Evil Emperor suddenly turned his head to Wang Chong, and at almost the same time, Chief Wushang and Jili Laozu turned to Wang Chong.
"Mm!"
Wang Chong met the gazes of his seniors and gave a solemn nod.
Buzz!
In the next moment, boundless Stellar Energy surged out of the third-generation successor's body like a golden wave, transforming into a golden dome that enveloped an area of several dozen metres around him. At the same time, it also enveloped Wang Chong's group.
The Origin Immortal Art energy of the third-generation successor was used to conceal the group while also doing their best to hide it from the senses of the second-generation and first-generation successors.
This was the strategy that Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and Jili Laozu had devised while recuperating from their injuries. This was the plan that Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Lone Silence Ancestor had come up with while recuperating from their injuries.
Each of the six successors was stronger than the last, and the third-generation successor was already so terrifying. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to fight with the second-generation and first-generation.
Each of the six Undead was stronger than the last. The Third Generation was already so terrifying, and unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to fight against the stronger Second Generation and First Generation.
Hiss!
Under everyone's gazes, Wang Chong took in a deep breath and quickly had the third-generation successor walk over to his side and slap him on the shoulder.
Majestic Origin Immortal Stellar Energy surged into his body, and a moment later, Wang Chong used the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, absorbing the Stellar Energy condensed from the world's number one technique into his body. This Stellar Energy swiftly swam through his limbs and bones.
In the world, the peerlessly powerful Origin Immortal Stellar Energy was probably the only thing that Wang Chong could absorb without worry.
Boom! Not long after the Origin Immortal Stellar Energy entered his body, Wang Chong kept a portion of it while he used the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to send the rest into Jili Laozu, Chief Wushang, and his master, The Evil Emperor.
Upon receiving this Origin Immortal Stellar Energy, the trio's auras instantly changed.
Four living people and one walking corpse, all of their auras blended into one. If one didn't look for them carefully, it would be impossible to notice them.
"Let's go!"
With the walking corpse in the lead and Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor in the rear, the group carefully advanced.
No one knew if this move would work on the second-generation successor or if it could fool his senses, but if it couldn't, all of them would be doomed.
With their hearts in their throats, Wang Chong's group crossed several dozen zhang in the blink of an eye and reached the end of the corridor.
An even more spacious and ancient underground palace appeared before them.
Massive stone pillars so thick that it would take two men to wrap their arms around them appeared before their eyes.
Going up along the stone pillars, above the cyan underground palace, rays of moonlight radiated out. Those were gigantic luminous pearls.
The ground was inlaid with images of the Black Mandate Bird and Kui Dragon.
It's the style of the Western Han! The Origin Immortal Lord's second disciple was from the Western Han.
This thought suddenly flitted through Wang Chong's mind.
However, before they could think about it, in the next moment, everyone heard a cracking sound. It was extremely ear-piercing in the spacious hall.
Everyone turned in the direction of the sound.
On the opposite side of this underground palace, along the Pill Pit, there was a simple and unadorned white jade throne standing above the main hall. Above the white jade throne, a ball of distorted golden light floated in the air like a bright sun.
Through the golden light, one could vaguely make out an armored figure, exuding an extraordinary aura.
As everyone looked at the ball of golden light, the figure in the golden light seemed to turn his neck to look at them. That cracking sound was the sound he made when he turned his neck.
！！！
An indescribably bizarre feeling surged into everyone's mind. No one had expected to see the second-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art in this sort of situation.
The underground palace was eerily silent, everyone holding their breaths. All the pores on their bodies had been sealed off long ago, and not a shred of energy leaked out.
The second-generation successor was still in the air and had yet to reveal his true face, but everyone felt an intense sense of danger as if they were facing a powerful foe.
The second-generation successor's ability to float in the air was already far superior to the third-generation successor's.
No one knew what would happen next, but there was no doubt that if the plan failed, they would be greeted with a thunderous blow.
"Buzz!"
In front of everyone's eyes, the golden ball of light that was like a bright sun slowly descended. When the golden light dissipated, a figure wearing full body armor with a dignified expression appeared in front of everyone, sitting on a white jade throne.
His eyes were tightly shut and his body was motionless. But very quickly, his eyelids twitched. Following which, a pair of incomparably bright eyes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"How could this be!"
In an instant, everyone's hearts jolted. They immediately felt that the living dead in front of them was completely different from any generation they had encountered before.
His eyes were not empty and lifeless like the third-generation successor's, but as dazzling and bright as the stars in the sky.
"His remnant consciousness is much stronger than that of other walking corpses! “
As this thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind, he felt an ill foreboding.
After his battle with the third-generation successor, Wang Chong had basically understood the secret of these walking corpses.
They had been able to preserve such powerful fighting power even after death and guard the palace and the core treasury precisely because their fragmented consciousnesses from when they were alive had been preserved by ancient seals.
By relying on these fragmented consciousnesses, these walking corpses could stand guard within the palace and attack any outsider who entered.
And the stronger their consciousnesses, the better their ability to fight and react, and the more they could respond to the changes in the outside world.
The operation of Wang Chong's group was entirely based on the fact that all the walking corpses maintained a consciousness similar to the third-generation successor's, but the second-generation successor's consciousness was clearly much stronger. This meant that they were in danger of being seen through at any moment.
