C1214 Imperial Tomb
"Don't you think it's laughable?"
Gu Xichao laughed, and his smile seemed to be filled with unspeakable bitterness. "My life is filled with legends, and it is unspeakably magnificent. "I don't know how many people envied me and yearned for my life … However, it's so ironic, I've always wanted to live. In the end, I discovered a palm-sized ancient scroll, and it actually allowed me to finish my life …"
"In my life, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to escape this so-called prophecy."
"I desperately want to be different from other people. I have thought over many choices in my life, but in the end, I still walked this path."
"The remnant pages of the ancient scroll!"
Chu Yun lowered his head to look at the palm sized ancient scroll.
It was a very ordinary ancient scroll made of sheepskin. If one had to say that it was different, it was probably because the words on it carried an ancient aura. This was something that ordinary people could not imitate.
"Do you know that the remnant page of the ancient scroll in my hands is only a small piece? I once estimated that the complete Ancient Book of Heavenly Books was definitely much larger than this. However, I don't know why it was split into so many pieces. "
"Each piece has a prophecy."
"Perhaps, this is the magic of the ancient scroll!"
Gu Xichao shook his head and kept the fragment of the ancient scroll.
"A prophecy to overturn the Heavenly Dao?"
Chu Yun frowned, and casually said.
"What did you say?"
Gu Xichao's expression turned cold, as though he had developed a new way of thinking, and immediately asked.
"Nothing, I'm just saying it casually. Since the Heavenly Dao is targeting you, it must mean that there's something special about you. Could it be that it's because of the Heavenly Tome Monoliths, and it might be the key to overthrowing the Heavenly Dao?! "
When Chu Yun said this, he did not have much confidence.
Because he was just randomly making things up.
"It's possible!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xichao nodded his head, his expression extremely serious.
"There will also be competition between the Heavenly Dao. If it's not convenient to take action, secretly spreading the Heavenly Dao's ancient scrolls around is indeed an amazing technique to borrow a saber to kill someone!"
The more Gu Xichao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. A glint even flashed across his eyes as he continuously nodded his head.
"The Dao of the Heavens, there are actually so many?"
Chu Yun opened his mouth wide, as if he had discovered a new continent, and felt that it was inconceivable.
"Of course!"
Gu Xichao nodded his head and said seriously: "The so-called 'Heavenly Dao' is actually just some powerful existence's consciousness that is formed in a higher plane. They are not illusions, but real, only, their level is higher than us, so we cannot use common sense to guess. There will naturally be battles between Heavenly Daos with extraordinary methods. If the purpose of this Heavenly Tome Monolith is to kill the Heavenly Dao, then that makes sense! "
Chu Yun was so shocked that his mouth gaped wide open, and did not close for a long time.
He never thought that a few casual words from him would actually gain Gu Xichao's recognition.
[It seems that my words are a miracle.
"These are all too far away, and are not what you are considering right now. In the next year, I will do my best to impart to you what I have learned throughout my life. I hope that you will not disappoint the reputation of my Art Sage."
Gu Xichao revealed a smile, no matter what, his smile was always warm.
"Swish."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the surroundings returned to its prosperous look.
Chu Yun was very clear that he was once again in the picture.
Looking at the numerous disciples of the Painting Sect moving about in the sky, Chu Yun could only sigh emotionally in the bottom of his heart.
They looked like lifelike people, no different from ordinary cultivators. However, who would have thought that they were merely the tip of the iceberg above the painting?
Even people as powerful as Li Qing, Sha Potian, and Hai Xin were only figures created out of thin air.
At the same time that he lamented, Chu Yun was also thoroughly convinced by Gu Xichao's ability.
For him to be able to create such a painting, it could be said that he had transcended the mortal world, and his painting skills shocked the world!
If he humbly learned from him, would he be able to reach this level?
"Swish."
Gu Xichao raised his hand and grabbed, dragging a figure over.
Ninth Princess was at a loss. She looked around for a long time before her beautiful eyes finally focused again.
She looked at Chu Yun and Gu Xichao, and asked in surprise: "Master, you were looking for me?"
Gu Xichao gave a bland smile, but did not give the Ninth Princess any further explanation, and instead said blandly: "From today onwards, I will pass down all of my inheritance to you, and it will be on this Dream Peak!"
"What's going on, wasn't Chu Yun going to acknowledge the Art Sage as his master?"
Ninth Princess did not understand so she thought that the person standing in front of her was Gu Mengsheng.
"That's right, he did acknowledge the Art Sage as his master and you did so as well."
When Gu Xichao said till here, he smiled: "Because, I am Art Sage!"
Outside the Luofu, in the underground passage.
Everyone entered the door and looked at the scene in front of them and froze in place.
Their pupils violently contracted and they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. No one had expected the scene inside the stone door to be like this.
In front of him was a vast and boundless plain. It was as if they were living in another world, and there were more than ten tombstones on the plain. There were tombstones in front of each grave.
The dozen or so tombs were extremely tall, and just standing in front of them made people involuntarily feel a sense of reverence towards them.
Everything became calm, as if even his mood could be purified.
The few of them took a deep breath and quickly walked forward. Their gazes swept across the tombstones.
They wanted to find out what kind of place this was.
"Human Emperor, Boundless Tomb?"
"The Human Emperor, Zennings' Tomb?"
"Human Emperor, Tomb of the Heaven Defying Heaven?"
"…"
As they walked along, they saw that many small characters were carved onto the tombstones in front of each of the dozen or so tombs.
These small words mostly recorded the lives of these people, as well as all kinds of glorious deeds.
"Hiss!"
Tang Haoran's pupils shrank as she said in disbelief: "Have you guys noticed that these tombstones, all of their names are human emperors?!"
"In other words, all of the strong cultivators buried here are Great Emperor of Nirvana Realm?"
The Great Sage frowned and asked.
"Indeed, that should be the case!"
Mu Tu nodded his head: "I can feel the Qi in this tomb, although I have been dead for so many years, there is still a dense Qi fog spreading around, it is not an ordinary tombstone, if you look carefully, you will see that this is made of steel and rock, it is not easy to draw a mark on it, you have to have the power of Peak of Nirvana Realm too!"
"What's more, the words are like dancing dragons and flying phoenixes. Each stroke is vigorous and powerful, and it also means that the person who is being carved is extraordinary!"
Cheng Bining said slowly: "If my prediction isn't wrong, this should be the work of the Excalibur!"
Everyone was silent.
This plain was filled with the tombstone of the Great Emperor of Nirvana Realm, which meant that the tombstone was most likely carved from the Excalibur.
Just thinking about it made one feel a sense of majesty and majesty. It made one feel a sense of inferiority.
"Wait, there's something wrong here!"
In the end, Tang Zixian saw a low mound in front with her sharp eyes.
The mound was covered with moss, giving the impression that it was in ruins.
There wasn't even a tombstone in front of the mound!
"Is this also a tomb? Why is it so simple and crude?"
Tang Zixian walked in front of the grave, pondered for a while, and was unable to think of a reason.
The others moved closer as well, carefully inspecting the mound.
"The tomb is not bad. There is a coffin inside."
Cheng Bining's perception was rather sharp. After just a glance, she had already come to a conclusion.
"That's strange. The other tombs are filled with human emperors, but this mound is extremely low. It doesn't seem to exist, and its position isn't very conspicuous. There aren't even tombstones. Why is that?"
Mu Tu frowned, he racked his brains, but he still could not come up with an answer.
"The ones who are able to be buried here are all great emperors. Although we don't know who is buried here, we can be sure that they are not ordinary people. "As for why there aren't any tombstones, that's not something we know about."
Cheng Bining sighed, waved her hand, and said: "Don't watch here, it would be extremely disrespectful to the seniors resting in their tombs."
With that said, everyone felt that it made sense and dispersed.
They walked around the plain, looking for more clues.
Only Tang Zixian stood in front of the low mound, in a daze.
"Look, there are words on this boulder!"1
The Great Sage suddenly noticed something new and shouted, signaling for everyone to hurry over.
It was a huge rock that was half buried in the ground, and there were only two big words written on top of it — Emperor Tomb.
"Emperor Tomb?"
Cheng Bining's pupils constricted and she could not help but say, "What a domineering name. No wonder the experts buried here are all human emperors. So this place is called the Emperor Tomb!"
"Emperor Tomb!"
The others stared fixedly at him with profound gazes.
This stone seemed to have a special kind of magic, making people unable to shift their gaze away from it.
"Do you still remember the cave outside the tunnel? There are stone tables, stone benches, and a stone bed inside. This means that someone has lived there for a long time."
Cheng Bining suddenly said, a glint flashed past her eyes.
"Of course I remember. Hall Master, what do you mean?"
The others all revealed puzzled looks.
"Since this place is called Emperor Tomb, then the things that are buried here must be the Great Emperor of Nirvana Realm. Then who was the one who buried all of them here, and also the one who inscribed the tombstone for them? It was very simple. It was obviously the tomb guardian that lived in the cave! It is extremely possible that he possesses the strength of Fly Wonderland. Thus, he buried all of the great gods here and carved a tombstone for them before standing guard outside by himself. "
"Perhaps those sealed monsters are the opponents they met back then."
"These emperors were most likely killed in that battle!"
Cheng Bining's mind was clear as she spoke clearly.
Although it was just a guess, it was reasonable.
