Chapter 1489 - Land of Origin
“What is a human like you doing trying to learn some burial technique? You can’t cultivate them at all, especially this type of method. Even though the power is definitely extremely great, it has nothing to do with you!” The immortal medicine mocked Shi Hao.
However, it just so happened that this bronze stele was floating right in front of him, sharing karma with Shi Hao, so how could he give up because of what the immortal medicine was saying? He immediately scolded it, telling it to explain what it said.
Moreover, he began to carefully remember it. Even if he didn’t recognize these characters, he had to completely engrave them in his mind.
“Let me tell you right now, these scriptures really are useless for you. Do you know what conditions need to be met before it can be cultivated? You have to be an undead knight, moreover, you have to be buried in the rarest Burial Earth for at least ten thousand years, only after reaching a state where you are not alive or dead can you feel the power that type of cultivation will bring!” The old medicine said.
When Shi Hao heard this, he had no choice but to sigh. It seemed simple, but forget about the fact that he wasn’t an undead knight, even if he was, how could he possibly wait ten thousand years?
For him, even decades and centuries were too long. He needed to break through quickly, become stronger in the shortest amount of time possible!
In the surroundings, the Golden Undead Knights’ eyes all became red, all of them doing everything they could to study the stele inscriptions.
Not every single Golden Undead Knight was able to obtain these stele scriptures, because these steles had a mysterious power covering them, the characters on them extremely blurry, some of them couldn’t be differentiated.
The reason why Shi Hao could see the bronze stele was because of the Nine-Faced Burial Stone’s effects!
However, encountering a mountain of treasures, yet not able to use one for himself left Shi Hao feeling that it was extremely unfair. There were so many steles, there were definitely Burial King level scriptures among them!
After silently recording the text on the copper stele, Shi Hao stood where he was, no longer setting his heart on this.
Hong!
Suddenly, a tremendous wave of power transmitted from below, starting to swallow the primal chaos, absorb the essence of heaven and earth. One could see that the dense energy would all be sucked down.
It was as if an eye of the storm appeared in the middle of a sea, forming a vortex. It was incomparably terrifying, swallowing up everything.
“Ah, no!” There was a Golden Undead Knight who cried out, because he was sucked down from the edge of the cliff, entering the vortex. With a pu noise, he immediately turned into a bloody paste!
Apart from this, all of the giant steles sunk, dragged down by the mysterious power.
“Save me!” There were Golden Undead Knights who cried out.
There were a few more people who fell. No matter how their bodies shone, doing their best to resist, there was no way they could prevent their fates of destruction. They were immediately killed by the giant vortex, turned into a bloody mist.
This change was too sudden. Just now, it was still extremely peaceful, everyone comprehending scriptures, yet in the blink of an eye, several Golden Undead Knights died.
“Rise!”
Sazang shouted. He actually also encountered danger, falling down, but he had mysterious burial artifacts on him that had immeasurable power. A streak of light was released, blasting through the whirlpool ripples. He rushed up again.
However, his face was a bit pale, it really was too dangerous, his body and soul almost erased just then.
Pu!
Not far out, there was a powerful undead knight who, even though he wasn’t of a golden bloodline, his strength was powerful beyond compare, even more profound than Sanzang and Shenming, more formidable, yet he still couldn’t escape disaster.
This vortex came quickly, but it also left quickly. In the blink of an eye, peace was returned to Burial Abyss.
More than ten undead knights with powerful potential died.
“This really is too unfortunate! I had just made contact with a golden stele just now, yet it already sunk.”
“You should just be happy that you kept your life!”
This place was noisy. There were some people who were a bit unwilling to see the steles go, some people who still had lingering fears, rejoicing that they were still alive.
“It’s that cave that opened, seizing our natural luck!” A few people said with resentment.
Normally, after stele inscriptions and burial artifacts appeared, it would last for quite some time, allowing them to calmly obtain the natural luck. However, this time, it was actually this short.
“Wu, Shenming, you can send the long life medicine in, we’ll wait for it to bring back some natural luck.” Sanzang said.
At the same time, a few people looked in Shi Hao’s direction.
“It’s time for you to go too.” Shi Hao said.
The two stalks of immortal medicine were both rather unwilling, including Shenming’s.
It was because if they went down, they would have to face a type of death radiance not even an undead knight could endure. In a flash, it could deprive one of their life imprints, it was extremely terrifying.
Because immortal medicines could withstand time, exist with heaven and earth, the long life time ring produced within them would allow them to live through that type of light.
The long life tree on Shi Hao’s shoulder really didn’t want to enter, because even if it didn’t die, withstanding that type of light would still force it to pay a corresponding price.
The other immortal medicine dropped down. It carried purple radiance, appearance like a seated daoist, releasing nine layers of radiance, incredibly divine.
It entered the abyss. At first, it could still release hazy light, but as it went in deeper, the radiance was swallowed up, no longer visible.
One could imagine just how deep the abyss was!
“You should go now, or else we’ll be exposed!” Shi Hao urged.
The long life tree didn’t want to, but in the end, it still went on its way, entering Burial Abyss.
Suddenly, a miserable scream sounded underground. This was Shenming’s immortal medicine. It was clear that something bad happened.
“Ah…” A sphere of light flew out, landing on Shi Hao’s shoulder. It was precisely that long life tree. After just heading down, it immediately rushed back up, looking beyond frightened.
“What happened?” All of the Golden Undead Knights looked over, carrying shocked expressions.
“I heard the cry of that companion below and was scared, that’s why…” The long life tree said.
Everyone became speechless. They had all thought that it encountered something. Turns out it was just chicken-hearted!
A sphere of purple light quickly rushed up, the nine halos dim. This immortal medicine was injured, the daoist figure on the medicine losing an arm, ripped off by something.
In that instant, fragrance wafted out. Shi Hao really wanted to rush over and capture it!
“What happened to you?
Shenming asked. Moreover, she quickly produced the most precious burial king earth, the silver sand, letting it take root in it to recover.
“There is an ancient cave that is releasing multicolored light. It ripped me apart.” The immortal medicine replied.
“En, there was something strange after all. Why are that ancient cave’s ripples that strong? This shouldn’t be the case!” Sanzang frowned.
“Let’s go, there isn’t much great natural luck left. We should go back.” There were Golden Undead Knights who said with a sigh.
The others nodded, all of them feeling helpless.
Shi Hao looked forward to ending this early so he could leave. Otherwise, mixing together with this group of undead knights for a long time would definitely result in being exposed.
“Brother Huang, did you forget? We have to join hands and enter that ancient cave. Legend has it that there is a secret palace with unmatched natural luck inside!” Shenming said.
“This… is too dangerous. From the past until now, not many people were able to return alive.” Shi Hao didn’t want to go.
“This time, our preparations were ample, all of us having burial treasures that can withstand the inauspicious. We can enter that ancient palace.” Sanzang said. He also persisted with this.
“That place has the secrets related to Burial Kings!” Shenming secretly transmitted, telling Shi Hao.
This left him shaken. He desired power greatly, the so-called Burial Kings were on the same level as Anlan and Shutuo, representing the peak level of power in this world!
There were secrets of this level in the ancient cave below the abyss?
Shi Hao still believed firmly that cultivation was interconnected. Even if they were different species, cultivation systems different, there would still be similarities that could be used as a reference, able to inspire enlightenment.
That was why right now, he was moved!
“Relax, we don’t want to die either. We won’t throw our lives away!” Sanzang said. They needed Shi Hao to join them.
It was because Shi Hao had at least three burial treasures on him. This type of thing was too valuable in burial region, able to protect against dangers, allow them to pass through danger spots!
Shenming said, “Our burial treasures are all extraordinary. With so many together, now that there is a Nine-Faced Burial Stone, powerful burial treasure auras can be released to protect us.”
In the end, Shi Hao was convinced, following them.
“You all… are just throwing your lives away. Don’t act recklessly!
“This is too dangerous! If you all do this, none of you will be able to return! You have to think things through!”
The other Golden Undead Knights all revealed shocked expressions, all of them advising against this.
It was because it wasn’t like no one went down there before, but they all died miserably below.
“We know when to advance and when to stop!” Sanzang said.
In the end, they went down. The three of them, together with two stalks of long life medicine entered the great black abyss, triggering the alarm of all of the Golden Undead Knights. They all stood on the surface, waiting nervously.
Shi Hao and the others’ speeds were extremely fast, immediately rushing out several thousand zhang. This place really was unimaginable, just how deep was it? It was because they were still far from reaching its end!
Sure enough, another powerful devouring force appeared, wishing to tear them apart.
Kuang dang!
Shi Hao produced the black cauldron, enlarging it to surround their group, using this burial treasure.
Then, with this type of speed, they continued for quite some time.
Not long afterwards, a sphere of light appeared, hazy and indistinct, just below them. The powerful devouring force originated from there, absorbing essence energy in all directions, taking in and sending out immortal light.
On the stone walls of the abyss was an ancient cave. This wasn’t the bottom.
“This is the cave!” Sanzang said, extremely certain.
“Let’s go inside!” Shenming was extremely daring, taking the lead. A set of mysterious armor appeared on her body, glistening and brilliant.
At the same time, Sanzang produced a bell. It floated above him, releasing drawn-out ripples, breaking down that powerful devouring force.
When Shi Hao saw this, he enlarged the Darkness Immortal Gold Cauldron, covering himself and the two medicines in defense.
“We are going in!” Sanzang shouted.
Chi!
The three moved together, rushing in.
Hong!
Terrifying light appeared. This was death light. If it shone on a living creature, it would destroy them, scatter their souls.
From the past until now, it was unknown just how many undead knights were buried here.
In that instant, Sanzang roared, Shenming shouted. Everything before Shi Hao’s eyes went dark. Even with the burial treasures protecting them, the three still suffered a disaster.
After who knew how much time had passed, Shi Hao opened his eyes. He discovered that his body was in tatters, full of holes, basically in pieces.
However, he was currently healing, recovering because of a wave of thriving life force.
“Remember, you owe me a life.” The old medicine said weakly. It was faint and lacking in luster, clearly shone on by that radiance, paying a great price.
Sanzang and Shenming both fainted. Their bodies were in tatters, but they shouldn’t be dead.
The other immortal medicine was also muddle-headed, unconscious.
“You had me drink immortal medicine elixir?” Shi Hao said. It was because there was a fragrance in his mouth that was surging with life force, precisely originating from that type of elixir.
“As long as you understand!” The long life medicine said proudly.
“This type of fragrance doesn’t seem like yours, it feels like…” Shi Hao was suspicious, couldn’t help but look towards the other stalk of immortal medicine, purple radiance rising.
“No shit, of course it’s not mine. Do you think I’m retarted? Why would I sacrifice myself for you?” The old medicine wasn’t ashamed at all.
Shi Hao was immediately speechless. It wasn’t even your elixir, yet you can act this proud?
However, it was this old medicine that saved him after all, it wasn’t good to act out. Instead, his eyes shone and said, “Why don’t you help me get a few more drops of immortal medicine elixir?”
“Stop right there, don’t even think about it. I took the risk and got a drop for you to drink, this is already extreme benevolence, saving your life. If you steal another drop, that immortal medicine will notice. At that time, it’ll definitely fight me to the death.” The old medicine said.
Shi Hao gave it a look of disdain. This old medicine really wasn’t honest and sincere, stealing the elixir of others, not using its own.
“How are their conditions?” Shi Hao asked the old medicine, looking towards Sanzang and Shenming.
“They won’t die, they all have exceptional burial talismans on them. Those are body protecting talismans, their chances of survival after entering this cave are much greater than yours!” The old medicine said.
Sure enough, soon afterwards, Sanzang and Shenming revived, moreover quickly treating their wounded bodies.
The burial talismans on their bodies had strange and immeasurable powers!
“Let’s go, continue forward!” Sanzang said. He and Shenming exchanged a look, both of them revealing a strange expression. It was because Shi Hao woke up even before them, leaving them shocked.
The burial cave was extremely deep, and also extremely vast.
They advanced step by step, not that fast, walking over a hundred li now. This really was shocking. This ancient cave was actually this large! Fortunately, the death light no longer appeared, so they didn’t suffer damage again.
After another period of time passed, a gentle radiance was transmitted from up ahead, surrounding this place.
“We arrived, we… actually really found this place!” Shenming was so excited she almost cried out, not watching her appearance at all.
“Really, it’s that ancient palace! We found it!” Sanzang was also moved, his voice shaking a bit.
Shi Hao also saw it. That ancient palace was extremely hazy, surrounded in hazy radiance, faintly discernible.
They were almost there!
They rushed up to the ancient palace. They felt a wave of hesitation, should they directly break in?
“Do you feel it? It’s origin energy!” Sanzang said with a trembling voice.
“It is! I can sense it! Those are origin fluctuations, that type of unmatched aura!” Shenming was also like this, her beautiful eyes full of shock and excitement.
Shi Hao frowned. This was the land of origin? He really didn’t understand.
“This place really is special, it is most likely really the land of origin!” The long life tree secretly told Shi Hao.
