Zuo Zhicheng was much stronger than when he first arrived at the Holy Tomb. Not only had his martial arts reached the Emptiness Training Stage, but his True Origin Qi was also growing crazily every day.
His cultivation of Dao techniques had also reached the highest level in the world. The Life Cluster of the Ghost Eye Underworld Heaven and the five Life Clusters of the Da Qi State's imperial court had reached a total of fifty-four. Among them, there were ten Ghost Eyes, eighteen Spiritual Energy Furnaces, and twenty-six Life Clusters of the Underworld Heaven.
He only needed one Life Cluster to complete the Life Cluster of the Underworld Heaven and activate the final form of the Ghost King, the Great Black Heaven Demon God.
However, the last Life Cluster was also the most difficult to obtain because it was one of the Divine Life Clusters, Yuan Yue.
At this moment, Zuo Zhicheng could come and go freely in the Holy Tomb, especially since the mechanisms and formations here had stopped working. Along the way, he encountered some giant elephants, yin girls, and other monsters left behind by Shenzong, but they were all taken care of by him.
Without much effort, he had already reached the bottom of the Holy Tomb, where the Black Crystal Sarcophagus was located. It was the huge sarcophagus that Shenzong lay in a few years ago. The dark sarcophagus was tied to the crevice of the canyon by several huge chains. It looked exactly the same as when he left.
The entire sarcophagus and the other sarcophagus were the so-called Black Crystal Sarcophagus. This sarcophagus was connected to the formation of the Holy Tomb. It relied on the earth's heat, tides, and wind to store spiritual energy and operate.
It was also the existence of this Black Crystal Sarcophagus that allowed Shenzong to travel through two thousand years and live to this day.
Its biggest use was a kind of physical sealing technique. It allowed the user's physical body to be greatly slowed down. However, half of the user's spirit was separated from the body and was still active. It was in a state of controlled dreams.
Zuo Zhicheng was now using the Black Crystal Sarcophagus to allow himself to enter a dream or spiritual world to cultivate.
It allowed the spirit to break free from the physical body's desires and use the endless time in the dream to eliminate the side effects of the Six Desires Demonic Octopus.
After checking the condition of the Black Crystal Sacred Coffin, he discovered that it was in perfect condition. Clearly, Shenzong wasn't willing to damage this super powerful creation of the Southern Sacred Gate. Perhaps, he was still thinking of using it himself.
After all, the Obsidian Sacred Coffin was one with the Holy Tomb, and the technology was developed after Shenzong was captured, so he didn't take the Obsidian Sacred Coffin with him.
After the inspection, Zuo Zhicheng walked out of the coffin. He needed to spend some time reactivating the grand formation of the entire cemetery and setting up some simple traps and lines of defense to prevent himself from being discovered after he fell into a deep sleep.
After the formation was activated, outsiders would no longer be able to find the island that was shrouded in an illusion. Even Avar and Geo, who had been here before, would not be able to.
Whether it was the formation, the trap, or the coffin itself, Zuo Zhicheng had to repeatedly test it before it could be activated. This would take a lot of time.
Soon, more than two months had passed. Zuo Zhicheng had activated all the mechanisms and formations of the Holy Tomb by himself and modified the functions of the coffin. After making sure that there were no problems, he activated the entire formation and began trying to enter the coffin himself.
He pulled open the stone slab under the coffin. There were a lot of contorted depressions and patterns on it that could be twisted to control the functions of the coffin.
"Since it's my first time, I'll try it for a day." Zuo Zhicheng adjusted the timing of the coffin and made a simple explosive device. If he didn't wake up after a day or an hour, the coffin would explode on its own.
This kind of explosion wouldn't destroy the coffin, but it would be enough to wake Zuo Zhicheng up from his deep sleep.
Zuo Zhicheng slowly lay down in the coffin. Under the control of the mechanism, the stone coffin slowly closed. Zuo Zhicheng's vision fell into darkness, but with his Night Sea vision, he could still see everything in front of him clearly.
A few seconds later, a large amount of anesthetic gas sprayed out from all directions. This anesthetic was enough to paralyze hundreds of elephants in an instant. However, with Zuo Zhicheng's current physical strength, this anesthetic gas only made him feel a little dizzy.
However, he slowly relaxed his mind and body. Cooperating with the operation of the Black Crystal Sacred Coffin, he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Ten hours later, when Zuo Zhicheng's entire body fell into the deepest level of sleep, the whole world suddenly showed an inexplicable change.
The roaring magma gradually calmed down, the hot steam stopped in the air, the waves on the surface of the sea became stagnant patterns, and the fishes under the water stopped swimming, like specimens frozen in amber.
The whole world, whether it was animals or natural scenery, seemed to have come to a standstill.
However, in this eternal stillness, a pale palm slowly moved.
"It's really useful. The ability to stop time. The Alliance Master actually bestowed this magic treasure to you?" a white-haired old man who looked like he would lie in a coffin at any moment said as he looked at Wu Yi in front of him.
Wu Yi shrugged. "It's okay. After all, this is a crucial point. There can't be any mistakes." As he spoke, he pulled open the stone slab of the Black Crystal Sacred Coffin and skillfully operated it.
"Oh? You seem to be very familiar with this thing, "the old man said in surprise.
"Yes, it was originally made according to the technology we provided. Although I added some of my own originals, it's just so-so." After pressing the last button, Wu Yi smiled. "Seven Star, how long do you think he should sleep for?"
"Ten years?" the old man said casually.
"Haha, that's too little." Wu Yi adjusted the parameters on the stone slab and said, "Sixty years. After sixty years, that's the right time. However, the specific results will depend on the choice of the karma chain.
Oh, right, there's also this. "As he spoke, he casually dismantled the explosive device made by Zuo Zhicheng.
"Okay, let's go."
In the next moment, the two figures disappeared at the same time. At the same time, the whole world seemed to return to normal. The lava was still roaring, and the waves were surging everywhere. The only change was that Zuo Zhicheng did not wake up after a day.
He was constantly practicing his martial arts and Taoist techniques. Traces of strange power condensed in his chest. It was the power of the Qi of Vital Essence. This power became stronger and stronger as Zuo Zhicheng changed.
Zuo Zhicheng's power was increasing at a shocking rate.
…
Time flew. Just as Zuo Zhicheng fell into a deep sleep, the whole world changed rapidly.
The number of people who had the Life Cluster of Taoist techniques decreased, and the road of martial arts expanded. It seemed to usher in a golden age.
In 1921 AD, which was the year Zuo Zhicheng fell into a deep sleep, the Western Mainland was completely unified into the Divine Will Empire. After five years of preparation, they began to expand into the New Mainland and the Central Plains.
At the same time, the empire's technology continued to develop. The first phone, the first plane, the first tank … With the development of technology and war, all kinds of killing machines became more and more terrifying.
In 1923 AD, with Zuo Zhicheng's forces as the source, they united more than 20 ethnic groups in the New Mainland. The country was officially named Atlantis by the Saint Sect's leader.
In 1925 AD, because the Heavenly Dao Palace and Xumi Mountain, which were the seven major sects in the Central Plains, were destroyed, the Longevity Demon Palace and Thunder Sky Peak fell into silence. The Northern Demon Sect was still mysterious and disappeared. A large number of Taoist experts were killed during Zuo Zhicheng's time. The entire Central Plains fell into a cold winter of Taoist techniques development.
In addition to the pressure from the grassland, Kunlun, and several large island countries, the Da Qi State's national strength became more and more stretched.
Under such circumstances, the Divine Will Empire's large-scale invasion and unprecedented steel torrent defeated the Da Qi State's army.
In 1928 AD, the King of Kunlun, Qing Ye Luo, the Palace Master of the Shangqing Palace, established a country on the west coast of the Central Plains and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the grassland. At the same time, the Divine Will Empire had already broken through the capital of Dongmu in the New Mainland and began to advance to the east of the New Mainland.
In 1931 AD, the empire occupied the Jiangnan area of the Central Plains. The imperial court withdrew its forces to the Central Plains, and the entire Central Plains was divided into three.
In 1935 AD, just as the empire's army was dragged into a protracted war in the grassland of the New Mainland by the power of Atlantis, the famous Haijing Blitz occurred.
The empire's large-scale airborne troops almost brought the entire Haijing into ruins. The chief magician of the Divine Will Empire, Farrar, personally arrived and completely destroyed the central city of the New Mainland.
The balance of the New Mainland battle completely tilted towards the Divine Will Empire.
The remaining forces of Atlantis took most of the colony's wealth and retreated all the way to the Northern Wilderness. Finally, under the leadership of the chief consul, Avar, they barely resisted the empire's guerrilla warfare.
In 1937 AD, the strongest person in the Da Qi State, Ji Xingling, and the King of Kunlun, Qing Ye Luo, under the cover of Avar, the consul of Atlantis, sneaked into the Western Mainland and ambushed the king of the Divine Will Empire, Emperor Constantine.
In this battle, countless soldiers and civilians died. The three of them were seriously injured, but it also finally stopped the crazy expansion of the Divine Will Empire.
The various countries led by the Divine Will Empire, the Da Qi State, and Kunlun signed a peace treaty at the end of the year. The whole world finally welcomed the long-awaited peace.
In 1942 AD, the fifth year after the peace treaty was signed, and the 21st year after Zuo Zhicheng fell into a deep sleep, a large steel ship was slowly moving towards the direction of the Holy Tomb.
The history of the world ushered in a new turning point.
