Chapter 152: Wild Burial and the Secrets of the Sacred Ground
The reason for such rumors is that during the battle between the two sides, someone saw a figure flying out of the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
As for whether this news is true, it cannot be verified.
Currently, aside from this rumor, there is another topic that is also greatly debated.
People say that after Wu Li defeated the Kunlun Sacred Ground, he wanted to eliminate it completely, but was stopped by a person.
This person had a fierce argument with Wu Li, and the overwhelming pressure rendered the living beings within a thousand miles unable to lift their heads.
In the end, Wu Li did not completely annihilate the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
Most people are skeptical about this rumor.
Wu Li, being invincible in the Central Courtyard, is now subtly on the path to becoming the ruler of the world; who would dare to argue with him given such a status?
Beyond these hot topics, there are also discussions about where Wu Li disappeared during that time.
Not long after, a rumor began to circulate in the Eastern Wastes that during Wu Li’s disappearance, someone had seen his figure, accompanied by a young person.
……
In the wilderness.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
A young person was vigorously swinging a hoe, while next to him lay a “corpse” shrouded in black mist.
This “corpse” was severely damaged; more than half of its body had vanished.
However, strangely, despite such heavy injuries, this body had not died.
“Can you wait a bit longer before digging? As an old friend, aren’t you going to have a few words with me before the end?”
Upon hearing this, the young person stopped his movements, leaning on the hoe and replied, “What’s there to talk about? You won’t tell me what I want to know, so I might as well bury you early.”
“To be reasonable, if it weren’t for the issues you faced, I wouldn’t have been able to get the better of you.”
“Hahaha!”
“To hear you, Chen Changsheng, say such words means I, Jiang Bufan, might just make a name for myself.”
That’s right, the two people before us are the reclusive Chen Changsheng and the Kunlun Sacred Lord, Jiang Bufan.
“Not at all,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “All records show you died in that great battle.”
“Our conversation today will be hidden in the river of time; no one will know.”
“Just like no one knows how you originally obtained those unlucky powers.”
Hearing this, Jiang Bufan’s lips curled into a smile as he replied, “You still want to know the source of these powers, but I will not tell you.”
“I, Jiang Bufan, just need to surpass you, Chen Changsheng. Though Wu Li currently has great momentum, he has offended the Sacred Forbidden Ground.”
“After a long time, the Sacred Forbidden Ground will definitely come looking for trouble.”
Upon hearing Jiang Bufan’s words, Chen Changsheng showed no change in expression and continued digging the pit.
“Let them come; whether sacred or forbidden, there is nothing in the world that cannot be destroyed.”
“I truly did not expect you could gain the full support of the Sacred Forbidden Ground.”
“If it weren’t for you using that unlucky power, leading to internal strife within the Sacred Forbidden Ground, this battle might really have ended in mutual destruction.”
“What exactly is the support behind the Sacred Ground, and why did Nalan Jing come to plead with me, asking me to advise Wu Li not to destroy the Kunlun Sacred Ground?”
“Are you begging me?”
Jiang Bufan wore a wide smile, the expression resembling that of a victor.
“One could say that.”
“What can I gain from this?”
“I can prepare a high-quality coffin for you and guarantee that no toilet will be built on your grave.”
“This condition sounds quite tempting; can I take a look at my future resting place?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng casually tossed out a high-quality coffin.
This coffin was entirely made of divine wood; it could be described as understated yet luxurious.
Carefully examining the coffin before him, Jiang Bufan nodded with satisfaction.
“After all this contention, the thing I find most satisfying is actually just a few pieces of wood; this is truly a grand joke.”
“Considering this coffin, I will tell you a little bit.”
“There are still existences above us; the Sacred Ground is merely a stronghold for those existences.”
Warm tip: If you find this book appealing, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf!
“One hundred thousand years ago, a Heavenly Mandate Holder was born in this world.”
“Though it is difficult to give birth to a Heavenly Mandate Holder here, once one appears, it will be stronger than a regular Heavenly Mandate Holder.”
“This is like how flowers and grasses that grow in the wild are generally more resilient than those in a greenhouse.”
“The Heavenly Mandate Holder severed connections above, and we completely broke free from control.”
“But even though the Heavenly Mandate Holder is strong, they cannot live forever. Once they d*e, we cannot resist the reckoning from above.”
“However, fortunately, heaven has still favored us, and the seventh Heavenly Mandate Holder has been born.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows.
“Why has the lifespan of the seventh Heavenly Mandate Holder been significantly shorter?”
“Why else? Of course, it’s because they were injured by someone!”
“The beings above are powerful; even the Heavenly Mandate Holder cannot sweep through everything.”
“What about the Supreme Venerable Wujitian?”
“Why did he only last a few thousand years before disappearing?”
“And why did the Heavenly Mandate shatter?”
“I don’t know; the disappearance of the Supreme Venerable Wujitian has always been a mystery, and no one has clarified it.”
“Is it a problem from above?”
“That should not be; while they are strong, the Heavenly Mandate Holders are ultimately those who belong to the Heavenly Mandate.”
“They can harm the Heavenly Mandate Holders, but they absolutely cannot k*ll them, for once a Heavenly Mandate Holder fights with all their might—”
“The cost of that is immense; such considerable upheaval would surely not go undocumented.”
Listening to Jiang Bufan’s answer, Chen Changsheng nodded thoughtfully, then began to carve an Array Formation on the ground.
Watching Chen Changsheng draw the Array Formation, Jiang Bufan spoke up: “Why the rush to k*ll me? Can we chat a bit more?”
“You chat about your matters, and I’ll do mine; it won’t interfere.”
“By the way, when do you think the connection with above will be restored?”
“It will be restored when Wu Li bears the Heavenly Mandate.”
“This is also the reason Nalan Jing wanted you to stop Wu Li from annihilating the Kunlun Sacred Ground. Once, the Purple House Saint had also turned into a little woman; it’s truly disappointing.”
“If I were Wu Li, I would definitely destroy the Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“Even as an ant, I would dare to wield my sword to the heavens.”
“Moreover, we are not ants; since that’s the case, why not dare to declare war against the higher powers?”
Looking at the surging battle intent in Jiang Bufan’s eyes, Chen Changsheng felt a twinge of regret.
If not for encountering himself, and if not for the immensely talented Wu Li, perhaps he could have truly borne the Heavenly Mandate.
“Now that we’ve discussed quite a bit, are you really not planning to tell me the source of those unlucky powers?”
“Hahaha!”
“Since you’re so clever, why not guess?”
“If you get it right, I’ll consider you the winner.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng did not hesitate and directly activated the Array Formation. Flames instantly engulfed Jiang Bufan.
As the fire consumed him, Jiang Bufan did not scream but instead stared hard at Chen Changsheng.
“Are you really him?”
Facing this question, Chen Changsheng remained silent for a breath, then spoke.
“It is I.”
At this, Jiang Bufan paused for a moment and then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
“It’s indeed you! No wonder you don’t regard everything with concern; turns out you are the strongest living being in this world!”
“Chen Changsheng, one day you must ascend to the Upper Firmament; there are greater secrets waiting for you there.”
After speaking, Jiang Bufan turned to ashes.
Using a jar, Chen Changsheng collected Jiang Bufan’s ashes and completed the burial process as per tradition.
As for the name on the tombstone, it remained “Undertaker.”
Having done everything, Chen Changsheng turned and flew toward the Purple House Sacred Ground.
