"Isn't that the grave of a strong person from the Void-Viewing Three Realms?" Wang Yi asked in confusion.
"Yes," Fire Spirit replied after a brief pause. "However, I feel it shouldn't be this simple. You haven't stepped into the Void-Viewing Three Realms, so you don't know the terror of this realm. To open this grave relying solely on a few Transcendent Realm Experts is extremely difficult." After a moment, he continued, "Moreover, there is something suspicious about this matter. Even if the discovery of this grave wasn't long ago, it shouldn't have spread throughout the Killing Fields so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi was taken aback and furrowed his brows. Fire Spirit was right; upon reflection, there were indeed some oddities involved.
"Why don't you wait here for a while and see if you can gather some information before proceeding?" Fire Spirit suggested after a moment of silence.
"Young Master," Lian Bi said, unable to contain himself any longer as he noticed Wang Yi's silence.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Wang Yi asked. Lian Bi was a Transcendent Realm Expert, and both his experience and strength far surpassed his own; perhaps he could uncover some clues.
"Death energy," Lian Bi replied after a long silence with just those two words. After pausing again, he continued, "The technique I cultivate is called Death Technique, so I am very sensitive to death energy and can easily sense it. The death energy in the Transverse Mountain Range is quite weak, but it gives me a feeling of unease."
"It’s not surprising for there to be death energy in an ancient grave," Wang Yi mused.
"No, the bodies of strong individuals from the Void-Viewing Three Realms have reached a state of non-decay; buried in the grave, they would not produce any death energy regardless of how long it has been." Lian Bi shook his head in denial. "This death energy feels fresh; it must have been generated recently."
"Fire Spirit, is this true?" Wang Yi asked in confusion.
"He is correct. The bodies of warriors from the Void-Viewing Three Realms have indeed reached a state of non-decay and will not produce death energy. If he is right, then this death energy must undoubtedly be artificially generated," Fire Spirit confirmed.
"Young Master, upon careful consideration, there are indeed some strange aspects to this grave. Should I go investigate secretly to see if I can uncover anything?" Lian Bi proposed.
"Alright, just be careful," Wang Yi replied after a moment of contemplation.
Lian Bi nodded and left the inn, transforming into a wisp of black mist as he headed towards the Transverse Mountain Range.
Wang Yi ate some food and returned to his room, waiting for news.
Transverse Mountain Range.
Lian Bi was hidden in the jungle. With his cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, combined with a special concealment technique, it was very difficult for anyone to detect him.
"Strange, this death energy should be coming from underground, but how could there be death energy underground?" A hint of confusion flashed in Lian Bi's narrow eyes.
At that moment, two factions in the distance began to clash, immediately capturing Lian Bi's attention.
"Kill these bastards for daring to provoke me."
"Brothers, let's kill them."
Before long, both factions suffered heavy casualties.
"Eh." Lian Bi finally noticed something unusual and murmured, "How could the ground absorb death energy and blood? It seems this young master has stumbled upon something interesting; there must be something strange going on here."
Lian Bi did not act recklessly because years of life-and-death battles had taught him to recognize danger.
So, he decided to continue observing.
One.
Two.
Three.
Initially, Lian Bi felt something was off, but after three consecutive events, his doubts and fears grew stronger. He saw many deceased warriors, their blood and vitality absorbed by the earth, causing the deathly aura at the cave entrance to thicken with age. Moreover, he noticed that piercing cries often echoed from within the cave, accompanied by large surges of blood energy, yet this did not deter greedy warriors from entering.
"Something is definitely wrong," Lian Bi murmured.
As more and more warriors entered the Transverse Mountain Range, batches of them continued to go in, but not a single person came out.
Lian Bi roughly estimated that in five hours, at least hundreds of thousands had entered.
Thinking of this, a look of shock appeared on Lian Bi's wrinkled face. Just how vast was this tomb that it could accommodate hundreds of thousands?
"Big brother, I heard there is more than one entrance to this tomb, but is that true?"
"Indeed, this is just one of them. Around this peak, there are seven or eight such entrances."
"Can so many people fit inside?"
"The Void-Viewing Three Realms stronghold's burial site is beyond your imagination. Don't worry; as long as we don't venture too deep and only explore the outskirts, if luck is on our side, we can definitely obtain valuable Yuan Stones or elixirs."
In the forest, a group made their way toward the cave entrance.
Upon hearing this, Lian Bi's eyes flickered; he retreated and transformed into a shadow, disappearing without a trace.
Somewhere on the mountain peak.
"My lord, that person left last time," the Ghost-faced Man said, watching Lian Bi's vanishing figure.
"Could it be that he truly discovered something?" the Ghost Face Leader murmured.
"Should we send one or two brothers to kill him?" Ghost-faced Man asked.
"Forget it. It's been five hours, and nearly five million people have entered this graveyard. That should be enough." Ghost Face Leader pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "You send two brothers to follow him and see what he intends to do."
"Understood."
As the voice fell, the Ghost-faced Man disappeared.
On the western side of the mountain peak, in a thicket, Lian Bi hid, his gaze sharp as a Pudao, scanning the surroundings like an eagle. Countless martial artists could be seen, both male and female, ranging from Transcendent Realm Experts to Transcendence Realm martial artists.
"Could there be some formation laid out among them?" Lian Bi murmured. After a moment of silence, his eyes suddenly flashed: "Who?"
"Kill him."
A cold voice came from behind Lian Bi.
Clang!
The Death Scythe shot out, breaking the attack from the person.
Lian Bi soared into the air and saw two Ghost-faced Men appearing before him.
"My friends, I have no enmity with you. Why do you attack?" Lian Bi's pupils constricted slightly; the cultivation of these two was actually on par with his own. He felt puzzled and wondered what forces these two belonged to.
"You'll find out after you die," one of the Ghost-faced Men chuckled...
In the inn.
Wang Yi paced back and forth in the room.
"Don't worry, that person has the cultivation of the Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer. As long as he doesn't encounter any strong opponents, he should be fine," Fire Spirit said.
Suddenly, a figure crashed through the window.
"Lian Bi."
Wang Yi was startled to see Lian Bi, whose clothes were tattered and had a blood mark on his chest. He hurriedly gave him a Healing Elixir.
"Ha."
Lian Bi let out a long breath, stood up, and cupped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, young master."
"You're fine, that's good." Wang Yi nodded. Lian Bi had only sustained minor injuries, but it still surprised him. It seemed Lian Bi must have discovered something.
Lian Bi felt warmth in his heart. He knew he was one of the Top Ten Powerhouses of the Song Dynasty, with formidable cultivation and almost no friends. After being hidden in the Killing Fields for fifty years, no one had cared about him at all. So Wang Yi's treatment of him moved him greatly.
"Who injured you?" Wang Yi asked.
Lian Bi pondered for a moment and recounted everything he had seen to Wang Yi without missing a word.
"In the end, I was injured by two Ghost-faced Men. Their cultivation is on par with mine, and together they were not my subordinates' match," Lian Bi said.
"Ghost-faced Men?" Wang Yi frowned and said, "They are from Ghost Cold." After a pause, he added, "Could this all be related to Ghost Cold?"
"By the way, do you suspect there is a formation beneath the tomb that can devour blood energy?" Wang Yi asked.
"That's right. My subordinates discovered that after these people died, a large amount of their blood energy was consumed. I suspect that the death energy in the cave is produced from this blood energy," Lian Bi replied.
"I understand now," Fire Spirit suddenly said. "This has all been premeditated by someone to lead these martial artists to the Transverse Mountain Range."
"What exactly is going on?" Wang Yi hurriedly asked.
"Someone deliberately spread this information to lure more people into the tomb, using their blood energy to unlock the final layer of the tomb, which is the burial place of the Void-Viewing Three Realms martial artists," Fire Spirit slowly explained. "According to Lian Bi, within five hours, at least millions of martial artists will have entered. If I guess correctly, these people have likely already become the blood energy needed to open the tomb."
"What?" Wang Yi gasped, millions of people just like that perished.
"That's still a conservative estimate, Prince. The tomb of the Void-Viewing Three Realms contains a trace of Nirvana Power, which cannot be unlocked with the strength of a Transcendence Realm Martial Artist. So someone is using this evil method to forcibly destroy the Nirvana Power in order to achieve their goal of opening the tomb. Although it's quite cruel, it is indeed an effective method," Fire Spirit said with a smile.
"It must be the doing of Emperor Xie and his companions since they have the map," Wang Yi said with hatred. To open the tomb, they would sacrifice millions of martial artists; they truly are ruthless.
"Nirvana Power is extremely powerful. They will need at least five more hours to unlock the final layer. At that time, you can enter; there might be a slim chance for you to obtain Nedan," Fire Spirit said solemnly.
"Does that mean hundreds of thousands more people will have to die?" Wang Yi shook his head. "No, I must stop them."
"Prince, do you think they will believe you?" Fire Spirit sneered. "They are not good people; they are blinded by greed. Even if you tell them someone wants to kill them, how many do you think would believe your words?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi fell silent.
Fire Spirit was right; he was just an unnamed person—who would believe him? Moreover, the temptation of the Void-Viewing Three Realms stronghold was too great. If it weren't for Fire Spirit's reminder, he might have already entered himself, let alone a group of greedy individuals who had been blinded by profit.
"Which of these people hasn't stained their hands with several lives? Their deaths are not worth lamenting," Fire Spirit chuckled darkly. "In five days, we will head to the Transverse Mountain Range; that will be when the tomb truly opens. Nedan is extremely important to you; whether you can obtain it depends entirely on yourself."
Wang Yi tightened his fists and said to Lian Bi, "This matter must be the work of Ghost Cold, Emperor Shishi, and Fengyunxin. We cannot act rashly and alert them. Five days later, we will head to the Transverse Mountain Range."
"Understood," Lian Bi replied with a nod.
Meanwhile, at the Transverse Mountain Range.
"Hehe, it's almost time," Ghost Cold said ominously.
"In another five hours, the last layer of the tomb will collapse without any attack," Fengyunxin said with a joyful expression.
"Mm." Emperor Shishi had a cold expression and sighed, "I just didn't expect that it would require millions of warriors as sacrifices."
"What? Brother Emperor is feeling soft-hearted? That's not your style!" Ghost Cold raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"Soft-hearted? I've been in the Zongheng Killing Fields for over a hundred years; would I be soft-hearted?" Emperor Shishi sneered. "I am just a bit worried about whether Xiao Xingyun will show up."
