Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Emperor’s Tomb
Different from the Ancient Race.
Although Ao Tian is a descendant of the Flood Dragon, his bloodline is not pure, and wanting to transform into a human through the improvement of his own cultivation is not an easy task.
Such as the Dragon Race, Demon Race, Ape Race, etc.
The reason they can transform into humans at will is because they have inherited the powerful blood of their ancestors.
With this kind of bloodline, transforming into a human is not difficult.
But similarly, in the entire Dragon Race, those who have truly inherited the ancestral bloodline and transformed into humans are very few.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Dragon Race has developed very powerfully, with over ten thousand clansmen, but in reality, less than one-tenth of these ten thousand clansmen have successfully transformed into human form.
Currently, the Transformation Pill is still missing a few herbs. Ji Chen inquired with the Headquarter, and it seems that these missing herbs might be found in the Holy City, hence he had the idea of going to the Holy City personally.
The Holy City, located in Ningzhou, is at the center of the Ten Countries of the Profound Domain, a neutral land.
Major sects in the Profound Domain, such as the Purple Cloud Sect, have also taken root in Ningzhou.
When the Ancient Ruins of Emperor Ye opened back then, Ji Chen once went to the Holy City.
The day after informing Qu Luoning about this matter, Ji Chen left the Lingyun Sect alone and headed towards the Holy City.
In just two days, he descended upon the Holy City.
The first time he came to the Holy City, Ji Chen spent nearly ten days.
The reason he could arrive so quickly now is not because his cultivation improved, but because Ji Chen used the Cen’s Command Array Method to construct a Teleportation Array, allowing him to reach the Holy City in just two days with the help of the array.
"Why are there so many people?"
Upon arriving in the Holy City, Ji Chen was surprised to find the flow of people in the city was much larger than he had imagined.
Even though the Holy City is at the center of the Profound Domain and is the most prosperous ancient city in the entire Profound Domain, such a flow of people is obviously not normal.
"Is the news true or false? What on earth happened within Li Yuan’s Tomb?"
"Could it be that the Ancient Ruins of Emperor Ye have opened again? That’s impossible, the Ancient Ruins of Emperor Ye open once every ten years, and only half the time has passed since it last opened."
"It’s unrelated to the Ancient Ruins of Emperor Ye. It’s said that within Li Yuan’s Tomb, an Ancient Sage is also resting, and this sage is most likely a top existence from the Desolate Ancient Era, a level of power beyond comprehension."
"It seems that some time ago, fragments of a Holy Weapon floated out of Li Yuan’s Tomb, more than one piece, which sparked a frantic competition among countless people. Some speculate that there is a saint buried in the mountains, and these Holy Weapon fragments drifted out from his tomb."
"To be buried with a Holy Weapon! This clearly isn’t just a simple Saint, could it be an Ancient Emperor?!"
"It’s uncertain whether it’s an Ancient Emperor, but it’s at least a Great Saint level powerhouse!"
So-called Great Saint is also a Saint but much stronger than an ordinary Saint. Without exaggeration, a Great Saint can easily wipe out ten ordinary Saints with a flick of the wrist.
In the Age Without Emperors, Great Saints were absolutely the strongest combat power in the world. Such figures have always been rare, and every one of them is the pinnacle of the Saint Realm.
Ji Chen, walking alone in the Holy City, heard such discussions from some passing Cultivators, and only then did he realize that such events had occurred recently in Li Yuan’s Tomb.
During this time, many major forces also rushed to the Holy City at the first moment after hearing the news, sending many experts into Li Yuan’s Tomb to investigate the truth.
Unfortunately, to this day, no one has been able to find the so-called Saint’s Tomb.
Taixu, Dao Inference, and other Sacred Lands have sent many experts, as well as some ancient Di Race, all gathering within the Holy City.
Besides the Human Race, the Ancient Race naturally made some moves, all wanting to catch a glimpse within Li Yuan’s Tomb.
If there truly existed a Great Saint or an Ancient Emperor’s Tomb in the mountains, evidently, this would be an event that shocks the entire world.
Ji Chen spent two days in the city and successfully found all the herbs needed for the Transformation Pill.
But he did not leave but continued to stay here, obviously also holding great curiosity about what was happening within Li Yuan’s Tomb.
Within these two days, more and more Cultivators arrived in the Holy City.
"Extra! Extra!"
"A Saint Master level powerhouse went to investigate, Li Yuan’s Tomb seems to have an Ancient Emperor’s Tomb about to appear!"
On the fourth day after Ji Chen arrived in the Holy City, such news spread through the city.
Countless people were in an uproar, almost all of them not sitting idle, immediately rushing towards Li Yuan’s Tomb outside the city.
The Emperor’s Tomb implies that within Li Yuan’s Tomb, an ancient emperor who once shook the world is resting.
This is something worth getting excited about.
It is well known that emperors are the supreme existence, and their burial sites are often accompanied by a large number of secret treasures.
Leaving aside the Emperor’s Weapon, just the fact that fragments of a Holy Weapon floated from the mountains some time ago shows that there must be a Holy Weapon in the Emperor’s Tomb.
Such items, if found, would bring an immense increase to any person or power.
In today’s world, why are those major forces able to pass down unscathed to this day? It’s not just because they have the ancient scriptures and orthodoxy of their ancestors, but mainly because within these forces, there exist Magical Treasures at the Saint Soldier level, deterring anyone from daring to invade easily.
"Is it really the Emperor’s Tomb?"
"How many emperors were there since ancient times? Which Ancient Emperor exactly is buried within Li Yuan’s Tomb?"
Many people were discussing and moving immediately, rushing towards Li Yuan’s Tomb.
Ji Chen went with the flow, also arriving outside the Holy City, walking in the same direction with the crowd.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, an astonishing energy wave came from ahead.
In the next moment, Ji Chen felt the entire land begin to shake.
This shaking was extremely intense, as if some terrifying existence was about to awaken.
"Boom!"
In the distance, a mountain suddenly collapsed entirely, crumbling down.
Then, a light flew up out of nowhere, streaking across the sky like a falling star, plunging towards the distance.
"Holy Weapon fragment!"
Someone exclaimed, their eyes shining brightly.
Ji Chen looked far away and saw it was a palm-sized black iron piece, rusty, looking unremarkable, but on this black iron piece, he sensed a unique Sacred Rhyme, letting Ji Chen know that this was undoubtedly a fragment of a Holy Weapon.
"Swoosh!"
Almost at the instant this fragment appeared, countless figures rose from the mountains, numerous Cultivators pursuing it, all wanting to snatch this Holy Weapon fragment.
