After entering the palace of the Netherworld Concubine, Yi Tian's group unintentionally activated a mechanism and released the soul of the Netherworld Concubine Ning Xuan's spirit pet 'Jia Li'. Then, with a little trick, he cast a Spirit Locking Divine Ability and sealed it in the clay doll.
However, this' Jia Li 'could be considered as a guiding light here. The three of them were outsiders and didn't know much about the situation inside. With someone who knew the inside story leading the way, they could save a lot of effort.
After being punished, this' Gary 'finally calmed down. In short, he would answer whatever Zhang Tie asked him.
He looked around. Although it looked like a main hall, the layout and posture of the surroundings made him feel that something was wrong. Yi Tian turned to the doll and asked, "Do you know how these stone statues were made?"
"They are all old officials who followed the Grand Concubine to the Demon Realm. After their lifespans were exhausted, they were directly turned into stone statues to guard this temple," Jia Li replied.
"They were turned into stone statues after their lifespans were exhausted," Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "I think they were forced. From their expressions, I can see the helplessness and unwillingness in their last moments."
"That's what you think. These attendants who follow the old concubine are all loyal to the dynasty. They won't even frown if the old concubine asks them to commit suicide on the spot," Jia Li argued.
Yi Tian didn't want to argue with him, so after sweeping the area with his Divine Sense, he asked, "Since you've been with Ning Xuan for a long time, why don't you take us to her tomb?"
"You're not grave robbers, are you?" Jia Li's voice suddenly cried out. At the same time, he said with a trembling voice, "It's disrespectful to disturb the tomb of an ancestor."
Hearing this, the corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched. He said with a helpless expression, "Have you ever seen three Unity Stage cultivators working together to rob a tomb?"
"Then the question you're asking is obviously like a thief," Carrie said righteously.
"Little guy, your soul is imprisoned here. I can take your life with just a thought." Yi Tian said in a deep voice, "You have to use honorifics when talking to me. Also, you have to answer my questions. Don't say those useless things."
After saying that, he slightly raised the spell in his hand. Suddenly, a purple thunder wandered around the clay doll and kneaded Carrie's spirit. After three breaths, Jia Li's voice was heard after the electric force dissipated. At this moment, he was no longer as stubborn as before, and his tone had also softened as he said, "May I know the reason for your visit, sir?"
"When the Netherworld Consort Ning Xuan left the Netherworld, she took a part of the Netherworld Empire's Imperial Genealogy with her. Do you know where it is?" Yi Tian did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of this trip.
Carrie was silent for a moment before replying, "That part of the Imperial Genealogy records the name list of the legitimate disciples of the Netherworld Empire's Imperial Genealogy. You're not from the Netherworld, so what do you want that for?"
"I'm the one asking you." A slightly displeased expression appeared on Yi Tian's face. An arc of lightning flashed in his hand as if he was about to cast another spell.
Carrie's shrill voice sounded again, "Don't worry, I'm just asking. The Imperial Consort's tomb is located in the depths of this divine palace. You can follow the long corridor of the divine palace and you'll find it. "
After exchanging a glance with Yi Shun and Xiong Erbao, the three of them went down the corridor on the side of the divine palace. Just as Carrie had said, there was indeed a long corridor behind them. As they walked down the corridor, it seemed to extend downwards. After walking for over half a kilometer, they finally saw a speck of light. After exiting, they discovered that this was a tomb deep underground.
However, a perplexed expression appeared on Yi Tian's face. Logically speaking, the Imperial Consort of Netherworld wouldn't be so extravagant. Even if she died in a foreign land, this tomb was a little too shabby, right?
When they walked into the tomb, they discovered that there was a stone coffin that was about three feet long and five feet wide in the middle. There was a lot of information inscribed on it using the language of the Netherworld. However, they had never been to the Netherworld and had never come into contact with such languages.
After taking out a jade slip and a rune pen, Yi Tian quickly recorded all the words on the stone coffin. After a while, he looked around and discovered that there was nothing else in the tomb apart from that.
He frowned slightly and turned to say to the two of them, "Looks like we still have to open the coffin and examine the corpse. The Imperial Consort of Netherworld might have taken the Imperial Genealogy with her."
"It's very possible," Yi Shun replied. "Such an important thing would definitely be well preserved after being brought out of the Netherworld. It's reasonable that she took it with her."
However, Xiong Erbao said nonchalantly, "Let's open it then. She's been dead for tens of thousands of years anyway. Her soul has long dissipated. Besides, we're just here to take a copy of the Imperial Genealogy. It's not a big deal. "
Then, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and released a green spirit light that gently brushed across the stone coffin. After a 'ka ka' sound, the five inch thick coffin lid slowly moved. Shaoqing waited for the lid to open before falling to the side. Yi Tian's gaze swept across the inside of the stone coffin and immediately frowned slightly. He also revealed a pondering expression.
There was actually nothing inside the stone coffin. It was completely empty. Yi Shun's expression was also unfriendly. "We've been tricked by her. Could it be that the Imperial Consort of Netherworld faked her death here to deceive others?"
"It might be as you say." Yi Tian nodded. "However, after such a long time, I think that Ning Xuan has most likely exhausted her lifespan and is no longer in this world."
"Then why would she deliberately set up a trap here?" Xiong Erbao asked.
"We'll have to talk about the relationship between her and Emperor Yuanhao." Yi Tian thought for a moment before changing the topic. "If I'm not wrong, the Imperial Consort of Netherworld must be trying to deceive Emperor Yuanhao by setting up a trap here. Back then, they were both deceiving each other. It couldn't be said to be a cooperation. At most, they were just using each other. However, the Imperial Consort of Netherworld was weak. She must have paid a price to obtain Emperor Yuanhao's support. "
"Unfortunately, she never thought that someone as strong as Emperor Yuanhao would be overthrown by his subordinates." Yi Shun continued.
"Then where is her true body now? Has she escaped?" Xiong Erbao asked.
"No, I've already checked when I came in. This temple is obviously supported by two people separately. There are Beastkin Clan formation guards left by Emperor Yuanhao in the outer space." Yi Tian smiled and said, "At the same time, those formation patterns can also seal the people inside so that they can't escape."
"It seems that the situation was tense after the Netherworld Empire was destroyed. Even Emperor Yuanhao had to be careful when dealing with these people." Yi Shun said.
"Indeed, but now I'm more and more interested in this Imperial Consort of Netherworld. The Imperial Genealogy in her hand is definitely an incredible ancient treasure. That's why it caused the Netherworld Realm to be divided into two factions, the Netherworld Empire and the Yellow Spring Guards. Neither side recognizes the legitimate status of the other." Yi Tian explained.
