Chapter 1965: Emperor’s Tomb
Translator: Legge
For assassins, patience was the most important factor.
If there was no suitable opportunity, Tang Ziyi would rather wait than attack rashly!
It was especially so for experts like Prince Yuan Zuo who was a major cultivation realm above her. If she failed, she would definitely die without a chance to escape.
If there was no chance, she could wait for a year, ten years or even hundreds of years!
She only had two goals for coming here.
!!One of the goals was the Thunder Emperor.
Although she possessed the True Dragon Anti-Water Bead, she knew that even if she could clear the Ten Absolute Formation, she could not save the Thunder Emperor.
In her heart, it was enough if she could just take a mere look at the Thunder Emperor.
After failing to clear the formation, she thought that she would never have the chance to meet the Thunder Emperor again.
To think that the situation later on would be completely beyond her imagination!
Not only did she see the Thunder Emperor with her own eyes, he even broke free and killed ten Perfected Immortal experts domineeringly before leaving in a carefree manner!
At that moment, she was expressionless but there was an indescribable joy in her heart.
Now that the Thunder Emperor was free, she was only left with a second goal.
Prince Yuan Zuo!
Of course, those were her inner thoughts and secrets.
Even if she owed Su Zimo a favor, she could not tell him about it.
“What’s the true purpose of the Hunting Meet held by Prince Yuan Zuo this time round?”
Right then, Su Zimo asked again.
Tang Ziyi sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness and said indifferently, “Didn’t he say? He wanted to choose a hundred absolutely loyal followers and give us a chance to change our fates.”
“Fu…”
Su Zimo chuckled and asked, “Would you believe such nonsense?”
“Why not?”
Tang Ziyi asked as well.
Su Zimo said, “Given his status, there’s no need for him to go through so much trouble if he wants a hundred absolutely loyal followers.”
“As long as he waves his hand, disciples of the major sects and descendants of aristocratic families will flock to him. We won’t even have a chance.”
“Furthermore, the Hunting Meet is a game for the Exalted Immortals to begin with. They control the fates of all living beings in the lower worlds and take joy in it.”
“Why would Prince Yuan Zuo choose a hundred people out of goodwill to give these people from the lower worlds a chance to change their fates? That’s ironic to begin with. It’s extremely laughable.”
Tang Ziyi harrumphed softly. “Hmph, seems like you’re not stupid and can understand.”
Su Zimo was slightly stunned.
That was an extremely rare hint of emotion in a statement from Tang Ziyi.
Stunned for a moment, Su Zimo could not tell if Tang Ziyi was praising or mocking him.
“The logic behind it is extremely simple,”
Tang Ziyi returned to normal before long and said indifferently, “Unfortunately, apart from you and me, no one else in the hundred people can understand.”
Su Zimo was silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps it’s not that they don’t understand, but that they don’t want to.”
Although it was a little ambiguous, Tang Ziyi fell into deep thought.
Reality was a little cruel. Therefore, everyone would avoid it instinctively and would rather advance with a sliver of hope.
“Do you know about the Emperor’s Tomb?”
After a while, Tang Ziyi asked with a voice transmission.
“The Emperor’s Tomb?”
Su Zimo frowned slightly. “I don’t know.”
For some reason, the name sounded sinister.
Tang Ziyi said, “The Emperor’s Tomb was originally a shattered world. It floated everywhere in the void currents of the upper world and its location was uncertain. Legend has it that an Immortal Emperor was buried inside, that’s why it’s called the Emperor’s Tomb.”
Su Zimo was shocked.
The tomb of an Immortal Emperor!
“There are many legends about the Emperor’s Tomb. Some say that there are countless rare treasures, cultivation techniques and secret skills. Others say that there’s a shocking secret hidden in the Emperor’s Tomb…”
Tang Ziyi said, “Recently, the Emperor’s Tomb appeared in the void of Divine Firmament Mainland. I’m guessing that the Hunting Meet of Prince Yuan Zuo might have something to do with this Emperor’s Tomb.”
Su Zimo said deeply, “He wants us to enter the Emperor’s Tomb?”
“Probably,”
Tang Ziyi replied.
“A tomb that might contain an Immortal Emperor? Given our cultivation, we can enter it at will?” Su Zimo could not believe it.
Logically speaking, even Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals were not qualified to explore such a tomb, let alone them.
If this was truly an Emperor’s Tomb, it would be filled with treasures collected by the Immortal Emperor—it would not be in their place to head there.
Tang Ziyi said, “This Emperor’s Tomb is a little special. It’s said that the Immortal Emperor buried inside died under an extremely powerful curse.”
Curse!
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly.
In terms of curse techniques, the Witch race was the strongest.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, experts of the Witch race of the upper world even descended to kill all living beings. Thankfully, Die Yue intervened and resolved that calamity.
If the rumors were true, the curse technique that could kill an Immortal Emperor must have been done by an expert of the Witch race!
Tang Ziyi continued, “After the Immortal Emperor died, the power of the curse in his body did not disappear. Instead, it spread in every corner of the tomb and lasted till now.”
“How long has this Immortal Emperor been dead for?”
Suddenly, Su Zimo asked.
Tang Ziyi said, “More than 10 million years.”
Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
The curse in the Emperor’s Tomb was way too terrifying and did not dissipate even after millions of years!
“Even an Immortal Emperor can’t withstand the power of that curse. Wouldn’t the hundred of us be courting death if we entered?” Su Zimo sneered.
“No,”
Tang Ziyi said, “For millions of years, many people have entered the Emperor’s Tomb to explore its secrets. The power of the curse inside is a little strange. The higher the cultivation realm of the cultivator, the greater the impact on them.”
“In other words, such a curse is the most harmful to experts like Immortal Emperors?” Su Zimo asked.
“That’s right,”
Tang Ziyi said, “When the Emperor’s Tomb first appeared, an Emperor entered and was inevitably cursed as well. He died not long after he came out.”
Grotto-heaven realm experts were kings.
Above the Grotto-heaven realm was the Emperor realm.
The most common title for an Emperor realm expert was an Emperor.
Of course, in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, most Emperors were called Immortal Emperors, such as the Divine Firmament Immortal Emperor.
In the Great Wilderness, most of them were called Demon Emperors.
Above Emperors was the Great Emperor that Heavenly Wolf mentioned!
Su Zimo was even more shocked.
Such a curse could even kill other Emperor realm experts after lasting for millions of years!
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the person who laid that curse was!
“After that Emperor died, no other Emperor dared to attempt to enter,”
Tang Ziyi continued, “For millions of years, more than 20 King realm experts have died because of the curse upon entering the Emperor’s Tomb!”
“The number of Perfected Immortals and Heaven Immortals that died within is even more unimaginable.”
