Chapter 747: Chapter 536: This Counts as a Legacy?
Taking things from the dead is an easy way to shorten your life!!!
Regarding this point, Li Er was genuinely trying to warn Chen Zhixing, hoping he wouldn’t follow in someone’s footsteps.
And who is this "someone"?
It is the Celestial Saint!
The Celestial Saint of the Celestial Saint Palace! Truly the number one in the Celestial Profound Realm! Even though he hasn’t taken action for tens of thousands of years, no one has ever doubted this fact!
Because of this existence, Li Er, even after becoming Huayu Immortal Venerable, never really wore the title of the number one in the East Profound State. On one hand, he had some respect and apprehension towards the strength of Senior Yimiao, not wanting to create conflict over a false reputation. On the other hand, no one could really gauge the state of the Celestial Saint, who seemed to grow more mystical with age.
Two thousand years ago, when the Three Great Sacred Lands of the Celestial Profound Realm discovered the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, the first to explore it was this Celestial Saint who was nearing the end of his life!
The Celestial Saint Palace has an Immortal Cultivation Technique, and if the Celestial Saint truly couldn’t withstand it, and didn’t want to enter the Spirit Realm, there was a possibility of switching to the Immortal Tao. Therefore, the Celestial Saint Palace had high hopes that something within the Wuyou Immortal Tomb would provide a solution.
Of course, the public narrative from the Celestial Saint Palace was that the Celestial Saint was nearing the end of his life, and upon hearing of an Immortal’s tomb that had descended from the Star Sea, he believed it to be a suitable resting place. Coincidentally, the Celestial Saint, upon entering the Spirit Realm, would not have his physical body decay, so he hoped to use his remains to suppress the tomb.
As for the result...
Li Er sneered and said, "That old man went in for three years and finally escaped, then promptly went into seclusion, and it’s from that point that the tradition of the Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the Celestial Saint Palace helping him share the Death Qi started."
"So? Is that immortal tomb actually a death trap, and even the Celestial Saint at the time suffered misfortune upon entering?" Chen Zhixing asked skeptically.
"It’s not like that." Li Er hesitated for a moment before quickly answering, "It can’t be said to be a death trap. Anyway, when I went in eight hundred years later, I found that the Wuyou Immortal Island was indeed a place blessed by heaven and earth. Its Spiritual Qi richness and purity even exceeded that of my Immortal Ascension Sacred Lands, and while slightly inferior to the Celestial Saint Palace, it was comparable to the Emperor’s Foot Mountain of the Daluo Taoist Lands. Indeed, many rare herbs and flowers grew there, all with quite ancient histories, and the ones I planted before were picked from that Wuyou Immortal Island."
"Then... what was the Celestial Saint’s reason?"
"What else could it be?" Li Er sneered, "That old thing really didn’t disdain lying, he was actually planning to guard the Wuyou Immortal Tomb with his body, but being old, he became a bit eccentric. After entering the tomb, he absurdly tried to remove the Immortal’s bones from the coffin, intending to occupy the place himself, making the entire Wuyou Immortal Tomb his burial ground!"
Chen Zhixing: "???"
"Is that really possible???" Hearing this, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but swear a little, and he could almost imagine the plot that followed.
Sure enough, Li Er continued sneering, "Unfortunately, his ambitions were large, but he hadn’t learned enough from those who cultivated immortality. Is an Immortal’s body so easily provoked? Even if an Immortal is deceased and placed within a coffin, when the old thing opened a corner of it, a surge of Death Qi nearly knocked him out. He hastily closed the coffin and spent three years recovering in the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, temporarily suppressing the tendency to turn into an ’Immortal Zombie,’ before finally returning to the Celestial Saint Palace, barely alive!"
"I see." Chen Zhixing nodded, not surprised by such developments. After all, that was an Immortal that existed only in legends, and such phenomena weren’t unusual. As for the Celestial Saint’s crazy move, Chen Zhixing could only comment that after being invincible for so long, the Celestial Saint likely thought nothing in the world could threaten him, hence his negligence, leading to such an outcome.
"As for what happened next, I probably don’t need to say much. After discovering the oddities, first, Senior Yimiao visited the Celestial Saint Palace, hoping to take over the title of Celestial Saint from the old thing and thereby take over the Celestial Saint Palace, but was refused. Then it’s my rise, over eight hundred years of cultivation growth enough to explore the Wuyou Immortal Tomb, and after entering, I returned with abundant rewards. The old thing then blocked me inside the tomb, threatening me not to spread word of what happened inside, whether it’s the possibility of him turning into an Immortal Zombie or the mess he made in the tomb eight hundred years ago!"
"So, did you refuse?"
"I agreed! Otherwise, why wouldn’t any of this be known outside?"
"Then just now..." Chen Zhixing swallowed hard, suddenly feeling that Huayu Immortal Venerable wasn’t very reliable after all.
"I did agree, but I agreed not to let a third person in the Celestial Profound Realm know. But since I left the Celestial Profound, that spot is open, and just before leaving, I happened to encounter you, so you can take this spot!"
