Chapter 1292 Ancestral Emperor’s Tomb
Tuoshi Shan’s reaction was quick and decisive. He deeply understood that with his cultivation, he was no match for Xu Qing at such a close distance.
After all, although he didn’t see Ji Dongzi’s death with his own eyes, he understood it very clearly from others.
Hence, he knew that he, who had first revealed the intention of attracting trouble, would probably not have a chance if he didn’t express his stance immediately and give an explanation.
Needless to say, the shifty-eyed person beside Xu Qing was clearly a person full of schemes. Moreover, he remembered that when he competed with Xu Qing outside the Holy City, this wretched-looking fellow who didn’t look like a good person seemed to be beside Xu Qing.
Those who could stay by Xu Qing’s side naturally weren’t weak.
From this judgment, he would surely die if he fought them.
In addition, these two fellows had actually provoked such a terrifying existence. This… was also a capability.
Not everyone could provoke such a terrifying thing. Not everyone could continue to flee and not die after provoking it.
After combining all of this, Tuoshi Shan didn’t hesitate to stimulate the old man and throw him out as his stance.
At that moment, the old grandpa who was thrown out also jolted from his daze. The moment the huge red jellyfish stared at him, his entire soul trembled and his heart churned to the extreme.
“You brat…”
He was going crazy, but there was nothing he could do now, nor did he have the time to curse. At this critical moment, he erupted with his Soul Accumulation power and pressed down on the huge jellyfish that was approaching.
The world rumbled and the surroundings trembled.
The figure of the majestic jellyfish also paused slightly. However, as the wind and clouds rolled back, its body broke through everything and rushed over again.
“This is already an existence comparable to a minor god!”
The old man’s heart trembled. He braced himself and continued to attack.
The captain and Xu Qing also had strange expressions when they saw the sudden arrival and help of Tuoshi Shan. This was especially so when they saw the old man putting in so much effort…
Since the other party was already in such a state, it wasn’t good for them to make a move and harm him. Hence, Xu Qing nodded at Tuoshi Shan, who had a stern expression.
“Thanks!”
Xu Qing then moved past Tuoshi Shan.
Tuoshi Shan was also retreating but it was obvious that he wasn’t as fast as Xu Qing. After Xu Qing surpassed him, he forced out a smile.
“We’re brothers, no need to be polite.”
When the captain heard this, he was a little moved. He nodded at Tuoshi Shan and quickly left after Xu Qing.
Very soon, the two of them disappeared into the horizon.
Tuoshi Shan was fleeing with all his might, but he was still a little slow. However, although the old man kept letting out miserable cries, he still managed to stall for time with his methods.
Hence, Tuoshi Shan gradually distanced himself from the large jellyfish.
When he reached a safe distance, Tuoshi Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe for the time being. However, when he thought of the miserable state the old man was in, he couldn’t help but feel bitter.
“How did it come to this…”
In the other direction, Xu Qing and the captain, who had finally completely shaken off the jellyfish, didn’t slow down at all. After flying for several hours, the captain cut off the karma thread between them and the large jellyfish.
After the connection was broken, the two of them were still worried. Under the captain’s lead, they flew for a few days in a row. As the palpitations completely disappeared, the crisis from the large jellyfish was completely resolved.
At that moment, on a reishi mushroom that was hundreds of feet wide, the captain squatted there and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Recalling the scenes from before, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“Look, I told you before that sh*t Tuoshi Shan is a good person.”
As he spoke, the captain dug out a piece of reishi’s flesh and ate it.
“Eat some. This reishi is the only safe thing in the Divine Realm.”
Xu Qing took a deep breath and lifted his head to look at the horizon. Only after confirming that the terrifying jellyfish indeed had no more karmic ties with him did he feel somewhat relieved.
He then looked at the captain.
The captain smiled awkwardly.
“Accident, it’s really an accident.”
As he spoke, the captain handed a piece of reishi flesh he had dug out to Xu Qing.
Even though he was long used to the captain’s madness, Xu Qing’s emotions still fluctuated. He silently took the piece of reishi flesh and, without hesitation, ate it.
Since the situation was already like this, he wasn’t afraid of attracting other troubles.
Although this reishi flesh was black, it tasted exceptionally sweet. Moreover, it seemed to have a certain nourishing effect on the soul, causing Xu Qing’s spirit to feel refreshed.
“How is it, Junior Brother? I didn’t lie to you, right? This flesh is edible. Let me tell you, there were a lot of reishi here in the past. Later on, I discovered this use…”
“So there’s less now,” Xu Qing said unenthusiastically.
The captain chuckled. He was best at coaxing Xu Qing, and he didn’t mind Xu Qing’s tone at all. He stepped forward and hugged Xu Qing’s neck, speaking proudly.
“Little Qing, you know me best. That’s right, I’ve eaten 70 to 80% of the reishi here. This stuff is good, but it won’t grow back. I reckon there’s even less of it now.”
“Let’s eat more. When we’re done eating, I will bring you to see a big treasure.”
With that, the captain dug out another piece of flesh.
Just like that, the two of them took one bite after another. Two hours later… this reishi that was hundreds of feet long disappeared without a trace.
It was all eaten. The captain ate little and Xu Qing ate a lot. His anger had mostly subsided.
After eating so much of the reishi’s flesh, the most direct benefit for Xu Qing was the thickness of his soul.
Compared to before, it had increased by at least 40%. This allowed Xu Qing to clearly sense the shackles of his cultivation.
That was a stagnation caused by the lack of the Heavenly Dao. In fact, after the thickness of his soul increased, his perception of the five secret repositories in his body became even more clear.
He could sense that other than the divine repository in the first god form and the fifth magus repository, the other three repositories were all transmitting the sense of being empty.
“The mosasaur is in the first divine repository, and the fifth magus repository doesn’t need the Heavenly Dao because… the body of the Ancestral Magus that is taking shape inside is the Heavenly Dao!”
“Therefore, what I really lack now are three Heavenly Daos.”
Xu Qing fell silent. After coming to this Divine Realm, he could sense that the whiskered fish could be used as the Heavenly Dao… and that large jellyfish could also be used.
However, these two were too powerful and Xu Qing couldn’t suppress them.
“Spiders are fine too. The shell eagles are barely qualified, but they are a little weak. Also, the main thing is the Emperor Sword’s secret repository…”
While Xu Qing was deep in thought, the captain blinked and smiled.
“Are you thinking of the Heavenly Dao?”
On the ground, the captain patted his stomach and burped.
“The big treasure I’ll bring you to see in a while can allow you to obtain the Heavenly Dao. Junior Brother, stop pondering. Your Heavenly Dao is waiting for you.”
With that, the captain stood up and pointed ahead.
After hearing the term ‘big treasure’ from the captain twice, Xu Qing’s vigilance rose again. Hence, he lifted his head and looked in the direction the other party was pointing at.
The spiderwebs there were clearly denser than the other places. Moreover, one could vaguely see a star in the depths.
This star was enveloped by a large number of spiderwebs, emitting a sense of dilapidation. Moreover, some vegetation that Xu Qing had never seen before appeared.
They were withered trees growing on a spiderweb.
The human face had its eyes closed as though it was in a deep sleep, and the tree’s body was as withered as a ghost.
The closer they got to the depths, the more there were.
‘”That’s the place where you do great things, right, Senior Brother?”
Xu Qing calmly spoke. He had already decided not to go there but to find a suitable Heavenly Dao elsewhere.
“Junior Brother, I have to correct you. It’s not a place for me to do big things. It’s us.”
The captain coughed. Seeing Xu Qing’s determined gaze, he blinked.
“Junior Brother, I’ve observed your divine repositories… Actually, the Heavenly Dao of your repositories needs to be compatible with you!”
“Also, the Heavenly Dao for the divine repository isn’t difficult.”
“What’s truly difficult is your Emperor Sword secret repository!”
“Not just any Heavenly Dao can be qualified to enter the Emperor Sword secret repository!”
The captain had a solemn expression as he looked at Xu Qing.
“So, I stated that I wanted to bring you to see a big treasure. You saw it, right? There’s a star there!”
The captain raised his hand and pointed into the distance again.
“Do you know that there’s an emperor’s tomb on that star?!”
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He had also pondered about the secret repository of the Emperor Sword. The answer was the same as what the captain had said.
A Heavenly Dao that was suitable for the Emperor Sword secret repository was very rare.
Sensing Xu Qing’s contemplation, the captain perked up and spoke again.
“According to my research back then, this Divine Realm we’re in wasn’t like this in the past.”
“This place was originally a world like the Wanggu Continent. Although it’s not a large world but formed by many stars, there’s not much difference.”
“In the past, there were cultivators, civilizations, and many races here!”
“Until one day, the spider god descended here and devoured everything. Its aura affected everything and finally turned this place into a Divine Realm. The lifeforms here became bizarre entities and lost their intelligence, becoming divine creatures.
The captain’s voice carried a hint of vicissitudes, as though it contained time.
“Although the status of the Wanggu Continent is far higher than here, its future fate… might be like this.”
“Because the god’s fragmented-face is even more terrifying than the spider god!”
“The tomb in this star is the tomb of the former ancestral emperor of this star field.”
“You can imagine the identity and status of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. To a certain extent, they experienced the same!”
“In the tomb, it will definitely produce a Heavenly Dao that is suitable for your Emperor Sword secret repository! Junior Brother, what I stated is true. If you don’t find a Heavenly Dao suitable for the Emperor Sword in there, you will be the eldest senior brother from now on!”
The captain’s gaze was fixed and his tone was firm. In order to pull Xu Qing over, he was going all out.
Xu Qing was moved.
He realized Eldest Senior Brother and understood that since the other party uttered like this, it was basically equivalent to swearing a vicious oath.
Hence, his gaze landed on the stars that were enveloped by countless spiderwebs. Gradually, a hint of madness emerged in his eyes. A few breaths later, his body swayed and he rushed out.
The captain licked his lips and excitedly whistled away.
In an instant, the two of them rushed into the spiderweb!
