Chapter 582: Ancient Temple!
Heaven-Shaker · 第582章 古庙!
The yin-yang divine light in Yi Zong's eyes blazed intensely, like two divine lamps burning, shooting out dazzling divine radiance.
Strands of yin and yang qi, like divine swords, pierced through illusions, inspecting heaven and earth, as if they could reach through the ages.
Sensing Yi Zong's change, the fat man's heart tightened. He gritted his teeth, and the vertical eye on his brow instantly shut tight.
Yi Zong's face showed uncertainty; he lowered his head in thought. Something had indeed been off just now, but now that peering gaze had vanished without a trace, seeming rather strange.
In another part of the world, the fat man frowned, deep in thought. The Red-Eyed Demonic Pupil, known as a divine pupil, was said to be the eye of a god, able to see through many unknown things.
The fat man's Starry Divine Pupil was cultivated later in life, far inferior to the Red-Eyed Demonic Pupil. He muttered suspiciously, "Something's off. It seems the Heavenly Secrets Sect has discovered something?"
"The Heavenly Secrets Sect... How are they here?" Hearing this, a flash of cold lightning appeared in Yang Tian's eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Back then, he had nearly been killed by Yi Xing in pursuit, and the day before, they had ruined their plans. Yang Tian had a very deep impression of the Heavenly Secrets Sect.
"Since the Red-Eyed Demonic Pupil is called a divine pupil, could they have found the location of the tomb?" At this point, the fat man licked his dry lips and couldn't help saying.
A god's tomb was not so easy to find. The burial ground of a great supernatural cultivator likely contained deadly killing mechanisms; how could outsiders be allowed to disturb his slumber?
But the tomb also held buried treasures. No one was unmoved; even a random relic left by a great supernatural cultivator would make their eyes burn with desire.
Yet, records of successfully opening a great supernatural cultivator's tomb were few and far between; most who tried ended up dead.
"The last time a god's tomb was opened, no one knows how many heroes died..." The big black bird scratched its bald head and said gravely. Though it contained rare treasures, it was also an ominous place, not easy to enter.
"Regardless, we'd better go take a look." The fat man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and hurried toward the previous direction.
Alerted by what had just happened, the fat man was very cautious. He dared not use his divine pupil frequently and stayed behind the group from the Heavenly Secrets Sect.
This small world was vast, with abundant life essence. Some places even formed spirit springs, accumulated over who knows how many years. Every spirit lake sparked contention.
Now, fierce bloodshed raged here. Experts from all races fought brutally, leaving too many dead. Rivers of blood flowed everywhere; blood and bones piled high, and even prodigies fell.
"Where the hell are these old monsters going?" Yang Tian and the others were frustrated, constantly following them. They missed many precious lands and spirit springs, things extremely hard to find in the outside world.
"Probably soon. They've been using the Yin-Yang Divine Disk, so they must have found something extraordinary." The fat man was certain. The treasures here were incomparable to those outside.
"Better be careful. Let these old fogeys lead the way, and we'll loot them from behind." The big black bird gnawed on a precious herb, his mouth full of life fluctuations, and shouted.
Compared to before, the big black bird had shed much of his aged appearance. He had eaten half a medicinal king, his feathers now crystal clear and bright, recovering much of his combat power, no longer what he used to be.
"Brother Bird is wise..." Big Tiger grinned widely, flattering him. And the big black bird was a true great power; if he refined the entire medicinal king, his combat strength would likely soar to its peak.
Far ahead, five experts from the Heavenly Secrets Sect furtively looked around, checking their surroundings with divine soul power at every step to prevent being followed.
The Red-Eyed Demonic Pupil emitted red divine light, radiating terrifying fluctuations with a rumbling sound, as if a deity were emerging.
Using the Yin-Yang Divine Disk to probe heaven and earth, he traced an extremely faint trace of death qi leaking out. Following this trace, they might find the tomb's location.
"Found it!" At this moment, Yi Xing's eyes suddenly shot divine light. He was extremely excited, seeing ahead a vast blue sea, with death qi clearly emanating from beneath it.
"Really!" The members of the Heavenly Secrets Sect were thrilled. A god's tomb—the things inside were beyond imagination.
"Our clan will rise!" Yi Zong was exhilarated, hopping like a lively rabbit, almost jumping for joy.
A great supernatural cultivator's burial ground—anything they got from it would be countless times more powerful than treasures from the outside world!
"Our clan will rise!" Yi Xing and the others echoed. After falling out with the Yuan family, their moods had been low. Now they felt like a spring breeze, immensely proud.
The fat man sneered disdainfully and muttered, "Don't get killed by the great supernatural cultivator's leftover traps before you even get in!"
This place was a blue sea. Huge waves crashed with a sky-splitting roar, scattering the clouds in the void.
Blue sea and clear sky, endless waves—it was hard to imagine that a great supernatural cultivator's tomb was sealed here.
Yang Tian and the others arrived, gazing at the vast blue sea. Heaven and earth seemed to merge into one line, giving a sense of majestic breadth and spirit.
"Huh, there's actually a great sea here. Unimaginable." Yang Tian was astonished. The sea stretched endlessly; such means were beyond their reach.
"I reckon the god's tomb is below. Using the sea to conceal it is indeed a clever method, but the death qi leaking out suggests the tomb's formation has cracked!"
The fat man observed from high above the sea and said with certainty, "The leaking death qi means it's about to break open. The god's tomb is about to emerge."
"Stop dawdling. Let's go down now." Yang Tian scratched his head, leaped into the seawater, and dove downward.
They were very careful, not making too much noise. If Yi Xing and the others discovered them, they would lose the chance to let them lead the way.
The deeper they dove, the more death qi seeped out, giving a hair-raising feeling. They felt cold all over, their hair standing on end.
"Be careful. Something's very strange down there..." The fat man's Starry Divine Pupil glowed, vaguely revealing some truths, and he warned them.
Deep beneath the heavy blue sea, no one knew how far down, ancient chanting sounds echoed, piercing the ears, making one feel as if receiving great grace.
This place was like an undersea world, and there was actually an ancient temple! The chanting pierced the ears, emitting a chilling aura.
Above the ancient temple, golden light covered it like a canopy, emitting dazzling divine radiance, surging like a tide, magnificent and visually striking.
"An ancient temple, sunk here—who knows how long it's been sealed!" Yi Zong was amazed. This temple itself was a treasure, indestructible through countless calamities, extremely rare, and he coveted it.
"Could an ancient divine Buddha be buried inside?" An old man from the Heavenly Secrets Sect trembled, his hands shaking as he exclaimed.
Though divine Buddhas had vanished from the Tianyang Continent, endless legends remained. This ancient temple might indeed hold a divine Buddha, a chilling thought.
The ancient temple was like a slumbering celestial god, its emanating aura terrifying and overwhelming, making people dare not approach.
They came beside the ancient temple, prostrated themselves in reverence, not daring to harbor profane thoughts, their eyes fixed on it.
Scriptures were imprinted on the temple, as if a divine Buddha were chanting sutras. The chanting pierced their ears, their bodies became translucent, emitting auspicious light, as if about to ascend to the divine realm.
The five experts of the Heavenly Secrets Sect were excited, almost sitting down to cultivate. If they meditated long-term around the temple, their minds would be elevated infinitely.
"A divine miracle! These are supreme scriptures..." Yi Zong exclaimed, but the scriptures were too profound, revealing nothing discernible.
They worshiped devoutly for a while, then looked around. The scriptures emitted golden afterglow, covering the entire temple like the meridians of a human body connected together.
"The death qi is seeping from the temple's door!" The Red-Eyed Demonic Pupil emitted divine light. Yi Xing saw the clue and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yi Zong's gaze fell on it. When he noticed the slightly open door, his face showed uncertainty.
"Could someone have already entered?" Yi Shan's expression turned ugly. The temple door seemed to have been pushed open, releasing the death qi.
"Could it be that fat man?" Yi Xing couldn't help thinking. If it was the fat man, they might have already entered.
"Let's go in too!" Yi Zong gritted his teeth. He understood the principle of "no venture, no gain." If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for half a lifetime.
His hand slowly touched the temple door. He gave it a gentle push but found it extremely heavy, like a great mountain, hard to budge.
A look of determination appeared in Yi Zong's eyes. The energy within him suddenly surged, radiating immense force, and he pushed heavily against the door!
With a thunderous roar, the temple door, like the hall of the gods, suddenly emitted a terrifying, heaven-shaking aura from within, as if a slumbering giant dragon had awakened!
