Chapter 337: Finding the Tomb!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Huh? Quick, look over there! What’s that?”

Liu Qianhuan had a look of surprise as she pointed at a black figure a few hundred meters away from them.

Everyone looked toward where she was pointing. Sure enough, they saw a moving black figure.

Could it be another life form? Apart from that ginormous rock golem, they hadn’t seen any other life forms in this inner region of the Ancient Barren Realm. They didn’t expect to see a living being here.

“Let’s check it out!” An Lin took charge and dashed toward that black figure on his black brick.

As if sensing danger, the black figure suddenly started fleeing.

However, its speed was no match for An Lin and the others, and it was overtaken in no time.

After closing in on it, An Lin and the others finally caught a clear glimpse of this black figure. It was a gigantic rat!

This rat was almost ten feet in size. Its fur was jet black, and its tail was blood red. Its intelligent eyes shot around as it fled, and it glanced toward the pursuing cultivators from time to time.

“We won’t capture it. We’ll follow it just like this and see where it leads us,” An Lin said excitedly.

“There aren’t any holes or burrows near here. When rats are faced with danger, their natural instinct should be to dash home. I’m a bit curious about where this rat lives.” Xuanyuan Cheng also chuckled in excitement.

In this harsh environment, such a large rat wouldn’t be able to survive simply by photosynthesizing, right? There was definitely some kind of secret place which could sustain it.

Just like that, they flew after the rat for another three to four kilometers. Then, they saw the rat plunging into the thick snow before disappearing from their sights.

“This…” An Lin blinked in confusion. Why did the rat suddenly burrow into the ground? Could it be a gopher?

Battle God Zi Yang furrowed his brows. “No, there’s something off about this snow!”

He waved his hand and a gust of wind swept outwards. Clouds of snow shot into the air.

An Lin and the others also noticed the oddity. The snow that the rat burrowed into was extremely dense and heavy. The surrounding snow all flew into the air, yet this patch of snow remained firm and unmoving. It stuck out like a cotton ball.

An Lin landed on the snowy ground and lightly prodded that protruding patch of snow. To his surprise, he didn’t feel any cold sensation at all. It was as though he had prodded empty air.

He pondered for a moment. Then, he took out a spirit stone and tossed it toward the patch of protruding snow.

The spirit stone caused the blanket of snow to squirm about. Then, it sunk into the snow and disappeared.

“Haha, it looks like we’ve found the right place! This is a spatial tunnel!”

An Lin’s eyes lit up as he spoke elatedly.

Then, they all turned their gaze toward Battle God Zi Yang.

Battle God Zi Yang’s eyes twitched, and he shuffled back a few steps. “Why are you all looking at me?” he asked in a guarded voice.

An Lin cleared his throat. “Um… We need a powerful individual to lead the way. I feel that Senior Zi Yang is the most suitable choice for this task.”

Battle God Zi Yang grimaced. He really wanted to let loose a torrent of curses. However, after seeing the dangerous glint in Little Qing’s eyes, he forcefully suppressed his urge to cuss.

“Fine! I’ll play the hero this once!”

With a resolute look on his face, Zi Yang leaped toward the patch of protruding snow!

There was no sound as he made contact with the snow, and his figure completely disappeared through it.

There was a look of anticipation on An Lin and the other’s faces as they looked toward the patch of protruding snow. They were waiting for Zi Yang to report on his findings.

One minute passed. There was still no sound from the patch of snow.

Three minutes passed. The patch of protruding snow remained completely still.

An Lin became impatient. “Don’t tell me that Senior Zi Yang has gone for a stroll?”

Hu Guan was also a little anxious. “Perhaps this spatial tunnel can only teleport in a single direction?”

“That’s indeed a possibility,” Xuanyuan Cheng said solemnly. “Since the rat can come out, it proves that there’s definitely an exit somewhere. Maybe the entrance and exit are at two different locations.”

“Then how about we go down as well? That way, we can deal with any unexpected situations that we come across together,” An Lin expanded his black brick as he suggested this.

It was easier to deal with unforeseen problems when working in large teams. After all, there was a possibility that the dangers below could threaten even Battle Gods. There was nothing wrong with being overly cautious.

They all glanced at each other before nodding in agreement. There was a determined expression on their faces as they jumped onto An Lin’s brick. Then, the black brick slowly sunk into the thick layer of white snow.

As the white snow disappeared from their sights, what entered their visions was a land which was brimming with life and vitality.

Forests, flowers, grasslands, freshwater springs…

They were hit by a burst of rich life force. By the time they came to their senses, they had already landed on a lush green grassland. Next to them was a white, cotton-like teleportation passage.

An Lin looked around in astonishment as he stowed his black brick away.

“This is like a hidden utopia…” Tian Lingling’s eyes were wide with surprise, and she couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

From the towering trees to the peach blossoms swaying next to the freshwater springs, everything here contained a boundless life force. The scenery was breathtaking.

The sweet fragrance of flowers was carried over by a gentle breeze, and vibrant pink petals danced about in the refreshing wind. With every breath of air here, they felt more and more relaxed.

“Say, where did Senior Zi Yang go?”

An Lin found that this place was especially peaceful and tranquil, and there didn’t appear to be any dangers. Where was Zi Yang then?

There’s no way he was eaten by the rat, right?

The others were also puzzled as they looked around. Then, their gazes all converged toward a spot next to a towering tree.

There was a person lying on the floor there. A half-eaten fruit was gripped in the person’s hand, while white foam frothed from the person’s mouth.

An Lin raised his head and looked toward the towering tree. There were still eight fruits hanging from it, and these fruits were all sparkling with a faint red glow.

He finally realized what had happened. Not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, he walked up to Zi Yang. He lightly slapped Zi Yang’s aggrieved and dazed face and chuckled before saying, “They all say that humans die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food. Even if you wanted to hog all these fruits to yourself, you still shouldn’t have acted so impulsively. At the very least, you should’ve checked to see whether they were poisonous.”

Battle God Zi Yang: “…”

Little Qing transformed into her human form and elegantly dashed to the treetop. She plucked one of the sparkling red fruits and carefully scrutinized its energy fluctuations.

“Heh… This is a third rank immortal fruit which is extremely rich in vital energy and flame energy. This vast flame energy was what attracted Zi Yang. However… this rich vital energy is poisonous to him!” As she said this, Bi Qiong couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement. She looked at the collapsed male with her beautiful eyes and continued, “Impulse is the devil. Now you know the ‘refreshing’ feel of having vital energy clash with the Battle Qi within your body, huh?”

Battle God Zi Yang was still convulsing on the floor. The energy within his body was a turbulent mess, and he looked toward Battle Goddess Bi Qiong with a pleading expression.

Battle Goddess Bi Qiong turned her gaze toward White Spirit Snake, and White Spirit Snake turned her gaze toward An Lin.

An Lin massaged his brows. “Whatever, we’ll rescue him. If it’s necessary, we’ll just make him take another Heavenly Dao Oath.”

“Little Qing, I’ll leave the matter of regulating his Battle Qi to you then,” White Spirit Snake grinned.

Battle Goddess Bi Qiong: “…”

She shook her head in exasperation and firmly placed her slender hands onto Battle God Zi Yang’s back. An azure glow started radiating from her palms.

Ten minutes later, this glow disappeared.

Bi Qiong transformed back into a little green snake and wrapped herself around White Spirit Snake’s arm.

An Lin was a bit envious of White Spirit Snake. He desperately needed this kind of considerate, beautiful, and powerful beast pet!

He involuntarily thought of Xiao Hong. All she did was photosynthesize every day. Occasionally, she would suddenly start singing very early in the morning and wake her master up. Sometimes, she would also ridicule and pick at the scabs of her master…

Sigh, comparisons are so odious!

Battle God Zi Yang picked himself up. Although his face was still pale, it was clear that he had already recovered significantly.

He glanced at the others awkwardly. After contemplating for a moment, he thrust the half-eaten fruit toward the others. “I’m sorry, I was in the wrong this time. There’s still half of this fruit left, I’ll hand it over to you guys!”

Everyone: “…”

What the f*ck?! Is he trying to act cute?!

An Lin grimaced. “I want you to take another Heavenly Dao Oath!”

Just like that, Battle God Zi Yang swore another Heavenly Dao Oath—if he discovered any treasures, he would need to hand them over to An Lin and the others.

That half-eaten immortal fruit was also given back to Zi Yang. No one wanted to eat his saliva!

Afterward, An Lin and the others plucked the remaining eight immortal fruits and placed them on the floor.

Third-rank immortal fruit—Yang Condensing Fruit. This immortal fruit could expand one’s sea of vital energy and also increase one’s flame powers.

How were they going to split it? Bi Qiong and Zi Yang both didn’t want any. However, there were still ten of them!

At this moment, Tang Ximen came forward with a solution. He took out a roulette which had ten slots and assigned a slot to each of them. Then, he rolled eight marbles onto the roulette.

“Please don’t doubt me, my roulette is very fair!”

As if he was afraid of the others questioning his device, Tang Ximen stressed this point repeatedly.

The results came out, and they were indeed very fair. Because Tang Ximen wasn’t selected…

What the f*ck?! What’s with my sh*tty luck?!

Tears streamed down Tang Ximen’s face as he looked toward the results on the roulette. He was at a complete loss for words.

The other unfortunate person was Xuanyuan Cheng. However, he was extremely calm about all this. He appeared indifferent as to whether he received an immortal fruit or not.

An Lin picked up an immortal fruit and gobbled it up straight away.

He squinted his eyes in pleasure when he felt the vital energy and flame energy coursing through his body become stronger and more vigorous.

“Senior Zi Yang, are you looking? This is the correct way to ingest an immortal fruit!”

An Lin didn’t forget to rub salt into Zi Yang’s wounds. Zi Yang could feel his chest tightening, and he almost vomited blood upon hearing An Lin’s words.

After splitting up the immortal fruits, they continued wandering around this realm.

Soon after, they discovered a cave.

A plaque hung from the roof of the cave, and the words that were written upon it were natural and refreshing. They didn’t appear the slightest bit pretentious.

The words on the plaque read —Tomb of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang.
