The tomb of the Northern Crossing Immortal has resurfaced, a sensational piece of news, yet few have received it. The Beidu Clan was the first to get a message from Beidu Liufeng and quickly sprang into action.
Even a dead camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how much Northern Crossing has declined, it still reigns supreme on the Northern Crossing Star. Moreover, Beidu Liufeng had summoned only the "stabilizing pillars" of the Beidu Clan.
When Beidu Liujin, Beidu Liubo, North Flow, and Beiduluo Fire, the Four Elders, appeared in the sky above Xianzuka, they curiously gazed at Zuo Dao. However, their primary concern was the door beneath the Light Screen.
"Old Six, what's going on? Is this really the resting place of the Ancient Ancestor?" Beidu Liujin, the leader among the six elders of Northern Crossing, rushed over after receiving Beidu Liufeng's message but left Beidu Liutu at home for safety.
Though they were curious about Zuo Dao, before the tomb of the Ancient Ancestor, anyone who wasn't from the Northern Crossing Clan was considered an enemy.
"Big Brother, while I can't be completely sure, it's close enough," Beidu Liufeng sighed in relief after the four arrived. The pressure Zuo Dao exerted on him was immense; if Zuo Dao had insisted on charging into Murong's territory, he wouldn't have been able to stop him. But now that his brother and the others were here, everything was manageable.
Upon hearing Beidu Liufeng's words, Beidu Liujin's eyes gleamed with cold light. He knew that this first question was unnecessary; however, upon arriving above the tomb, he sensed through his Bloodline that such feelings wouldn't arise unless there was a direct lineage connection.
"This matter is serious. Second Brother and Third Elder, keep an eye on the entrance and call everyone from the Clan!" Beidu Liujin fixed his gaze on Zuo Dao.
The significance of the Northern Crossing Immortal's tomb to them was unquestionable; Zuo Dao was seen as an enemy in their eyes. They also understood Beidu Liufeng's strength. As they approached, they had already detected fluctuations in spiritual energy below—definitely remnants of a battle between two experts of equal caliber.
Now that Old Six was confronting an unfamiliar Cultivator before the tomb, it made things somewhat tricky for them.
In the Life and Death Realm, killing a fellow Cultivator of equal rank is generally quite difficult. Even with five members present on their side, they might not be able to take down their opponent.
Privately, the Five Elders of Northern Crossing had finished exchanging thoughts and looked at Zuo Dao with renewed scrutiny.
Zuo Dao could leave easily; no one could stop him. Yet he showed considerable interest in the tomb. Still, he felt it would be inappropriate to break through directly in front of its guardians since it belonged to someone else's ancestors.
Although Zuo Dao was a Cultivator, deep down he preferred to see himself as an ordinary person.
"Everyone shouldn't just stand around here. I mean no harm; I just want to take a look inside," Zuo Dao said to the five without a trace of worry on his face.
The appearance of these four individuals surprised Zuo Dao. The Northern Crossing Immortal had indeed left behind quite a legacy for future generations! Aside from Beidu Liufeng, the other four clearly practiced the Five Elements Technique. It seemed that the Northern Crossing's foundation was truly profound, even if it appeared to be in decline on the surface.
This cultivation method unified the five elements, but Zuo Dao wondered why it had been divided into four parts—well, it should be five. He keenly sensed a harmonious aura of the five elements emanating from these four individuals. It appeared that the Beidu Clan had held back a bit and hadn’t sent everyone.
"Friend Zuo, since you want to join us, then let’s go together," Beidu Liujin said after some consideration.
Zuo Dao wasn’t surprised that they knew his surname; if the five hadn’t communicated, it would have been foolish.
"And who might this be?" Zuo Dao asked, looking at Beidu Liufeng, his eyes clearly indicating he wanted an introduction.
"This is my elder brother Beidu Liufeng, my second brother Beidu Liubo, my third sister North Flow, and my fourth brother Beiduluo Fire," Beidu Liufeng introduced each of them to Zuo Dao with restrained excitement.
"It seems your fifth brother Beidu Liutu is guarding your home," Zuo Dao concluded after hearing the introductions. Indeed, they practiced the Five Elements Technique, but their cultivation direction was misguided.
Elder Five of Northern Crossing had no idea what Zuo Dao was thinking. If he knew that Zuo Dao was contemplating such things, he would surely feel wronged.
The Five Elements Technique left behind by the Northern Crossing Immortal could be considered the Beidu Clan's most elite cultivation method. However, due to insufficient resources and limited talent among the five siblings, they couldn’t cultivate together in all five elements. They devised this method where each sibling practiced one element and then used formations to achieve a semblance of unified cultivation. Unfortunately, this approach was significantly less effective. Still, it was the best solution they could find.
"Alright, enough chatter; you won't be able to break this formation. By the way, we should call Northern Crossing Qing over; if you want to enter, you'll need him," Zuo Dao continued without waiting for Beidu Liufeng and the others to respond.
"I initially thought about going in alone first, but since this is your ancestor's tomb, I didn’t want to do that in front of you!"
Upon hearing this, the five couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. So it’s because we’re here that you feel embarrassed? If we weren’t around, you would have cleared everything out already!
Thoughts aside, Zuo Dao's actions did improve their perception of him. Beidu Liufeng was someone who could take things lightly. Although he had always wanted to seize Zuo Dao's body, that desire stemmed from the law of survival of the fittest in the cultivation world.
Now things were different; they were in the same realm. Coupled with Zuo Dao's attitude in conversation, Beidu Liufeng had abandoned that notion. Most importantly, there must be something in their ancestor's tomb that could help him safely and smoothly break through. He was quite certain of this; there was no reason for it otherwise.
In the Realm of Life and Death, every shift in thought was crucial and determined how far one could go on this path.
Beidu Liufeng looked at Beidu Liujin, who had not shown any hostility from the beginning until now. The five of them quickly reached a consensus and tacitly agreed to Zuo Dao's request.
Whenever extraordinary objects or rare treasures emerged, unusual phenomena would follow, and the appearance of Xianzuka was no exception. It was unclear whether it was due to some conditions set by the Northern Crossing Immortal or because Xianzuka had been exposed for a period of time. Suddenly, the entire Northern Crossing Star underwent significant changes.
Celestial music echoed in the air, and countless Golden Flowers descended, filling everyone with a sudden sense of sorrow. Some even began to weep uncontrollably.
All beings on Northern Crossing Star fell into a realm of mourning, as if the most important person in their lives had departed from them. The impact was so widespread that even some Cultivators were affected.
As a result, all the Cultivators on the star sprang into action, quickly locking their sights on the Northern Clan. The commotion caused by the Northern Crossing Family was simply too great.
Upon receiving Beidu Liufeng's message, all Cultivators from the Northern Clan rushed toward Xianzuka's location. Coupled with the unusual phenomena, it was hard for people not to suspect that Beidu Clan had discovered something valuable.
At this moment, even if Beidu Clan knew it would cause turmoil, they couldn't care less. What could be more important than seeking out Xianzuka, which had eluded them for tens of thousands of years? However, this concern was limited to the higher-ups of Beidu Clan; most clan members were still unaware of what was happening. They only knew that the family had issued a high-level summons, and everyone rushed madly toward the destination.
With Beidu Liutu's Garrison headquarters nearby, Beidu Liujin and others felt reassured.
Northern Crossing Qing had not traveled far and soon arrived at Xianzuka's previous location. When he realized that everyone present was at least at the Elder level, he stood there in shock. He could never understand why Beidu Clan, with so many high-end combatants, had still fallen into decline. Some things were simply beyond his reach to inquire about.
He was not as surprised by Zuo Dao's presence. However, when Zuo Dao revealed his purpose for calling him there, he became completely flustered, his mind racing with confusion.
"Alright, stop daydreaming! It's just a Xianzuka; is it really worth this much fuss?" Zuo Dao looked down on Northern Crossing Qing.
"Just a Xianzuka? Just a Xianzuka? This is where our ancestors are buried!" Hearing Zuo Dao's words ignited Northern Crossing Qing's anger. He never expected to be the one to open his ancestors' tomb.
That was the tomb of an immortal! The faith of Beidu Clan!
However excited he might be, it couldn't compare to Zuo Dao's kick. Before Northern Crossing Qing could finish speaking, Zuo Dao kicked him hard in the rear end, sending him uncontrollably crashing into the Light Screen.
The other four from Northern Crossing frowned at Zuo Dao's actions; doing this in front of them was quite disrespectful.
However, now that they needed each other, they could only pretend not to see. After all, they lacked the ability to break through the formation. Before Northern Crossing Qing arrived, Beidu Liufeng and the others had tried various methods, but the Light Screen stood before them like an immovable mountain.
They never expected that Northern Crossing Qing could easily enter the formation. This discovery sparked great interest in this descendant of theirs, and they all decided that after the matter of Xianzuka, they should cultivate him properly.
Northern Crossing Qing did not anticipate that Zuo Dao would pull such a trick on him. As he passed through the Light Screen, a flood of information suddenly surged into his mind.
Soon, he learned some things—things that were completely unfamiliar to him regarding the Great Dream Hammer Technique.
In Northern Crossing, there was an immortal known as Northern Crossing.
This was truly the tomb of the Northern Crossing Immortal.
Looking at the grand door beneath his feet, Northern Crossing Qing slowly crouched down and gently traced every pattern on the stone door.
Beneath this door lay the ancestors of the Beidu Clan, buried with their pride and beliefs. At the same time, a sense of reverence and reluctance welled up in his heart.
Outside the Light Screen, Beidu Liufeng and the other five watched Northern Crossing Qing's every move with tension. Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
"Uh, I forgot to tell him how to break the formation before kicking him in. What do we do now?"
