At the Shennong Altar in Shennongjia.
The Shennong Altar was built on a mountain. It was divided into the Heaven Altar and the Earth Altar. There was a giant statue of Emperor Yan Shennong with a bull's head and a human body standing in the middle of the Heaven Altar. The Earth Altar was below the Heaven Altar. There was a square that could accommodate thousands of people. Two 10-meter-tall totem poles stood on both sides at the front of the Earth Altar's square.
Meanwhile, there was an altar between the totem poles and the relief sculptures. The altar was set up according to the ancient emperor's altar. The sacrificial vessels made of bronze were placed in the middle while the incense burner, incense table, golden bell, and drum were placed before the altar.
At the moment, there were close to 1,000 people at the Earth Altar's square. People in all sorts of outfits were greeting each other with their fists clasped. It was bustling, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as boisterous.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the square, Yu Lei and Yu Lian were looking around and observing the crowd. Shock filled their eyes. Zhizhi could not help but say, "There are so many people participating in the Longmen Convention this year."
"That's right. Apart from a concert, it's my first time seeing such an unofficial, private event." Yu Lian could not stop nodding as she took a good look at the crowd.
Yu Lei said absent-mindedly, "Yu Lian, why don't we go back? After all, Sir Ye …"
"Brother, didn't you tell the captain over the phone? He doesn't seem to be mad. Since that's the case, let's leave after watching the Longmen Convention, "Yu Lian said angrily.
"But …"
Yu Lei sighed.
Just now, he had called the captain and told him everything that had happened. Originally, he was ready to accept punishment, but who knew that the captain would reply with four words: I understand.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
"No buts."
Yu Lian glared at him and said, "It's not easy for us to come out. An hour or two won't make a difference, right? Moreover, Deng Chan said that the Longmen Convention this time will be exciting. "
She was secretly upset.
It was supposed to be a great mission, but Ye Chen insisted on going into the sinkhole and ended up dying in the lava. Although the captain said nothing, she was secretly worried.
She could not help but secretly scoff as she thought to this point.
You're dead, but we still have to live in fear. We might even be implicated by you. We really owe you in our previous lives.
Just as they were talking, they heard a commotion coming from the back of the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw a few black-robed men carrying a palanquin rushing over. On the palanquin sat a black-robed, skinny, sinister-looking old man.
The old man sat cross-legged, motionless. What shocked everyone the most was that the palanquin was suspended in mid-air. In other words, those black-robed men were carrying the palanquin and flying through the air.
Yu Lian and the other two were stunned. The rest of the people could not help but gasp.
"Oh my god, they can still run in the air while carrying a palanquin? You won't fall? Or am I dreaming? "
"It's Master Xiegu. I can't believe he's here too!"
"Master Xiegu? Don't tell me it's the one who dominated the southern border? "
"…"
The four hunks flew over the people's heads directly. Master Xiegu laughed and flew out of the palanquin as everyone watched with their mouths agape. He then landed on the stone steps between the Heaven Altar and the Earth Altar.
"Greetings, Master Xiegu!"
Many people clasped their fists at him immediately. Yu Lian, her sister, and Zhizhi watched all of that blankly. Their emotions were in turmoil, and they felt like their world had collapsed.
"Why is this man here too?"
Yuan Qitai, who was next to Yu Lian, frowned in disdain.
He did not like Xiegu because the man was the descendant of the Xiangxi Corpse Herding Sect.
The Xiangxi Corpse Herding Sect was originally a profession that blessed the dead and comforted the living. However, the Corpse Herding Sect had been using zombies to transport poison since they fell into Xiegu's hands. Moreover, the man was cruel and unscrupulous. He often stole corpses from morgues and funeral parlors.
Although the four major tomb-raiding sects, including the Banshan, used to dig up people's ancestral graves, which was something unspeakable, they had no grudges with the living. They had their own bottom line.
The next moment.
Three black silhouettes flew over from the distance, and in the blink of an eye, the black silhouettes had arrived. Everyone saw that the three bamboo hat men were descending from the sky, each holding a black umbrella. The black umbrellas were rapidly spinning, tightly holding their bodies.
"Who are they?" Someone was confused.
However, nobody replied to him.
Only a portion of the people's pupils shrunk. They recognized the three men as Xieling, one of the four major tomb-raiding sects.
Rumor had it that Xieling and Faqiu were the most mysterious among the four major sects. They had never contacted outsiders. However, why were they here at the Longmen Convention instead of going to tomb raiding?
Yu Lian also recognized that the three of them had saved Zhizhi before.
The three men in bamboo hats walked straight to the side and stood with their hands behind their backs. They said nothing, but they glanced at Yuan Qitai by instinct when they walked past him. Yuan Qitai looked back too.
More people arrived before the people could react.
Leading the group were two men in yellow robes.
"It's Master Zabu from Tantric Tibetan Buddhism!"
"And Taoist Master Meng Haoran from Mount Lao!"
"…"
Within ten minutes, there were tens of people in the Earth Altar. The people were shocked to find out that almost all the cultivation sects and organizations in China were here.
Someone took a deep look at the few people beside Yuan Qitai and thought to himself in shock, 'Banshan Chief, Gold Raider, Faqiu Heavenly Official, Xieling Chief, the Four Major Sects of Tomb Raiding are all here. Which emperor's mausoleum did they have their eyes on?'
At that moment, countless eyes glanced at Yuan Qitai and the rest, including Yu Lian and the other two. Yu Lian could not stand the stares, so she could not help but drag Zhizhi and Yu Lei to the side. She dared not get too close to Yuan Qitai and the rest.
Yuan Qitai did not care at all. He kept moving his lips while the few people next to him moved their lips too. They seemed to be communicating with their lips.
One of the blind old men moved his lips slightly. "Old Yuan, have you checked where the Heavenly Tomb is?"
"I have!"
Yuan Qitai shook his head lightly. "But I couldn't get close to the magma eruption, so I'm not sure if there's really a tomb there."
"It must exist!"
An old woman beside him coughed and mouthed, "The previous chief of my Faqiu lineage had left behind a letter before he died. It recorded that there's a tomb of an Origin Energy Realm powerhouse beneath the sinkhole."
As soon as that was said.
The few of them, including Yuan Qitai, had a burning desire in their eyes.
Origin Energy!
That was above Illuminating God!
It was every Spell Master's lifelong pursuit!
The entire Chinese cultivation world had been passed down for hundreds of years, but there was no Origin Energy powerhouse until now. One could tell how difficult it was to get to Origin Energy.
"No matter what, the four major tomb-raiding sects have joined forces this time. We'll go through mountains of knives and seas of fire. If there's really an Origin Energy powerhouse's tomb, we'll discuss how to divide it later!" A man in a bamboo hat said in a deep voice.
The few of them nodded. Just when they were going to say something, someone exclaimed all of a sudden, "Celestial Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain is here!"
