Bathing in Dragon Energy
"What? The entire northern region is going to be destroyed? The consequences of opening the stone door are so serious!" Ye Fei broke out in a cold sweat. Was Zhao Yu trying to help him or harm him? He actually sent him to such a dangerous place.
Of course, Ye Fei didn't know that he had completely misunderstood Zhao Yu.
In fact, Zhao Yu only got the map, but he didn't know what was in the tomb. Generally speaking, if anyone got a clue about the tomb, they would subconsciously think that there might be treasures in it, thus ignoring the dangers of the tomb.
Ye Fei clearly made the same mistake. He quickly retreated a few steps with lingering fear. When the old man retreated to a safe distance, Ye Fei looked at the old man unhappily and said, "Old man, since you knew that this place was so dangerous, why didn't you warn me when I came in?"
"Young Master Ye, please forgive me. The Old And Decrepit didn't tell you in advance because he wanted to test you. After all, you were able to open the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Eye last time. The Old And Decrepit thought that you were also a Spiritual Eye Master and finally found a helper."
The old man sighed and apologized to Ye Fei again and again. This way, even if Ye Fei was tricked by the old man, the old man didn't have any bad intentions. He could only suppress his anger and not flare up.
After the old man's explanation, Ye Fei finally understood that the old man had misjudged Ye Fei's identity. He thought that Ye Fei had the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Eye and might be a very powerful Spiritual Eye Master. That was why he sent Ye Fei down to see if he could see through the stone door.
In the end, Ye Fei was a fake. Not only was he unable to see through the stone door, but he was also almost confused by the monster behind the stone door and made a huge mistake.
Only then did the old man realize that he had made a mistake and quickly woke Ye Fei up.
Ye Fei was extremely depressed. He couldn't help but criticize the old man, "I say, old man, this is your fault. You Spiritual Eye Masters have been ordered to guard the stone door for generations. You should be cautious and conscientious. You should be guarding this place at all times. Why are you still running around and opening stones for others?"
This old man clearly left his post without permission. What if that thing came out from behind the stone door when he wasn't around? Who knew what kind of disaster it would cause?
Even if they did not know what was inside, if it was a monster that even Martial Emperors could not deal with, the consequences would be dire if it rushed out of the stone door.
In response to Ye Fei's accusation, a pained expression suddenly flashed across the old man's face. He sighed and said, "Young Master Ye is right. This is all my fault. Back then, I shouldn't have peeked into the stone door out of curiosity. In the end, I made a grave mistake. Not only did my wife and children die because of me, even my Spiritual Eye was dug out by that monster. I lost the ability to continue sealing it."
The old man pushed aside his hair with a pained expression, revealing a deep bloody hole in his forehead. Inside the hole, one could even see the old man's blood vessels pulsing.
Ye Fei was very surprised, "Old man, isn't the thing inside sealed? It actually dug out your Spiritual Eye. This is bad. Without your Spiritual Eye, you won't be able to continue sealing the monster inside. Isn't it very likely that it will break the seal and escape?"
"Young Master Ye, don't worry. Not only is this stone door sealed by the Great Emperor, but it is also sealed by us Spiritual Eye Masters for generations. It won't be able to break the seal in a short period of time. However, without the support of my Spiritual Eye, the power of the seal will continue to decline."
The old man revealed a pained expression. He sighed and continued, "It's a pity that I've lost my Spiritual Eye. I can no longer continue strengthening the seal. The only thing I can do is to head to the nearest Quicksand City and find a suitable successor to become a Spiritual Eye Master. I hope to cultivate a new Spiritual Eye Master and continue this mission."
Ye Fei finally understood why the old man had left the tomb of the Great Emperor. He hadn't left his post without permission. He had wanted to make up for his mistakes.
"Then have you found it?" Ye Fei asked curiously.
The old man didn't say anything. He just stared straight at Ye Fei. Ye Fei suddenly felt like cursing. This old man is so shameless. You made a mistake and you want me to help you settle it!
Ye Fei was not stupid. Although the stone door threatened the entire Northern Region and he could not stay out of it, Ye Fei was determined not to be like the old man and be a tomb keeper for the rest of his life and not be able to go anywhere.
Therefore, Ye Fei simply pretended not to hear the old man's words.
"Sigh!"
The old man sighed again. "It seems like Young Master Ye has no interest in being a Spiritual Eye Master. But thinking about it, if it weren't for the blood oath made by our ancestors, our descendants would have to be tomb keepers for generations to come. Even I wouldn't be willing to die of old age in these ruins."
Seeing how the old man spoke with emotion, Ye Fei silently sympathized with the old man. No matter what, it was the old man and the other Spiritual Eye Masters who had silently guarded the Northern Region. They were undoubtedly great and had made great sacrifices.
"Old man, what do you plan to do? We can't just leave this stone door alone. "Ye Fei was a little worried. Even now, he couldn't forget that evil and terrifying voice in his mind.
The old man said seriously, "Of course we can't leave it alone! Once the stone door is opened, the world will be destroyed! Young Master Ye, I have another presumptuous request. "
"Old man, tell me what it is first." Ye Fei was now very alert. If the old man insisted on keeping him as a tomb keeper, he wouldn't do something that would obviously put him at a disadvantage.
"Cough, cough. Young Master Ye is indeed a sentimental person. Young Master, don't worry. Since you have no interest in being a Spiritual Eye Master, the Old And Decrepit will not force you. The Old And Decrepit just wants to ask you, if possible, to help me find my lost Spiritual Eye. As long as the Spiritual Eye is found, I can reseal the monster inside." The old man looked at Ye Fei expectantly.
Ye Fei was very surprised when he heard this. "Old man, where is your lost Spiritual Eye? Why don't you look for it yourself? "
"It's not that the Old And Decrepit doesn't want to, it's that I can't! Every generation of tomb keepers is cursed by the Great Emperor. If we stray too far from the tomb, we will die. That monster should also know this. Back then, when he tempted me to dig out my Spiritual Eye, he deliberately threw it in a place where I couldn't find it. "The old man's expression was full of pain.
Without waiting for Ye Fei to ask any more questions, he took out a jade talisman and forced it into Ye Fei's hands. "Young Master Ye, as long as you take this jade talisman, you will be able to find my Spiritual Eye. Of course, the Old And Decrepit won't let Young Master Ye help for free. I can make an exception and let you bathe in Dragon Qi once!"
"What? The tomb of the Great Emperor has Dragon Qi?" Ye Fei was very surprised.
"Of course. Back then, in order to suppress this stone door, Great Emperor Wang Qing gathered 99% of the Dragon Veins in the Northern Region here. Otherwise, do you think that just us Spiritual Eye Masters can suppress the monster behind the stone door? How about it, Young Master Ye? As long as you agree to help me, you can bathe in Dragon Qi!"
"I forgot to tell you that the Dragon Qi in the tomb of the Great Emperor is comparable to an Emperor-level Spirit Spring!" the old man casually added at the end.
It was this sentence that made Ye Fei's heart skip a beat. Even though he knew that the old man was tempting him, when he thought about the terrifying amount of Spirit Qi needed to cultivate the Combat God Dao, Ye Fei couldn't refuse.
After all, he was also from the Northern Region. He couldn't just watch the monster behind the stone door come out and destroy the entire Northern Region.
"Senior, don't worry. If I can help protect the world, I, Ye Fei, will do my best to help!" Ye Fei said seriously.
