Chapter 337: Kneeling to Seek Fate, Peacock’s Wish
Listening to the colorful spider’s words, the peacock spoke.
“What I hope to see most now, do you know?”
Upon hearing this, the spider asked in puzzlement, “Is it when the green dragon breaks through its bloodline to become a true dragon?”
“No.”
“Are you hoping to break through your bloodline to become a true phoenix?”
“No.”
“If neither of those, what is it that you hope will happen?”
“Don’t say it, but do you hope for my strength to increase, so as to overshadow you?”
Facing the colorful spider, the peacock turned and said, “I hope our beast clan also produces an undertaker, someone like the emperor Huangtian.”
“The undertaker lays plans for the human clan, while the emperor Huangtian dares to attack the ascension road at the risk of being opposed by the entire world.”
“Regardless of whether their actions were right or wrong, they were at least pioneers of the human clan.”
“Our beast clan has not had such a pioneer for a long time. If such a pioneer truly emerges, the Peacock Clan would be willing to give everything for him.”
“Hahaha!”
“Such thoughts should be reserved for dreaming.”
“Those stubborn old ones still alive, our beast clan can never produce a pioneer.”
“Alright, hurry up and enter. Although the Qiongqi Tomb is dangerous, the opportunities within are immense.”
After saying this, the peacock and the colorful spider also flew into the Qiongqi Tomb.
Once the two beasts left, a ripple appeared in a void.
Immediately after, the figures of Chen Changsheng and others appeared.
However, interestingly, except for Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze, the others looked very pale.
“Not good, why are you all so weak!”
“Just cutting a piece of spiritual sense, and you look so weak?”
Seeing Xu Mao and the others’ conditions, Bai Ze couldn’t help but make some sarcastic remarks.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at them and calmly said, “It’s normal. They practice more advanced methods than we did initially, so their foundations aren’t as solid as ours.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Mao immediately asked, “Xiancha, do you mean we practiced incorrectly?”
“No, you didn’t practice incorrectly.”
“The difference is due to the changing times.”
“When the sea of suffering body was first opened, no one knew how to proceed.”
“To put it accurately, no one knew how to walk the path of the sea of suffering body quickly and stably.”
“In such a situation, back then, we could only choose to constantly hone our foundations and move forward slowly.”
“Because the probability of making mistakes is smaller, that’s why the cultivators of that era had unusually solid foundations.”
“As development progressed to your era, the sea of suffering body had already been perfected to some extent.”
“The path you took is the fastest and most stable, much better than our approach which only focused on laying foundations.”
“While from the surface, our foundations seem more solid.”
“But overall, your approach is superior to ours.”
“Even cultivators of the same realm might not necessarily be stronger if they follow the old path compared to the new path.”
“But cultivators who follow the old path spend several times more time than you.”
After listening, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Changsheng then looked at the Qiongqi Tomb and said, “Alright, let’s set out.”
“Now is the best time to explore the Qiongqi Tomb.”
“Warm Reminder: If you can’t find the book by searching its title, try searching by author name. Maybe it’s just a name change!”
—
“Ah?”
Hearing this, Ziping was full of doubt.
“Xiancha, don’t we need to wait until that old mud eel clears all dangers before entering?”
“Hehe!”
“What are you thinking? The old mud eel is indeed a bit stubborn and arrogant.”
“But it’s not a fool. The puppet can only deceive it for a moment, not forever.”
“Moreover, if it encounters a danger it can’t handle, it will retreat and consider its options.”
“You don’t think it will stay there and fight to the d*ath, do you?”
Upon hearing this, Ziping scratched his head and laughed, “Xiancha’s words make sense. Ziping has learned something again.”
After giving a few more reminders, Chen Changsheng began to lead everyone quietly into the Qiongqi Tomb.
With the powerful three beasts attracting attention, the dangers encountered by Chen Changsheng and the others were greatly reduced.
After three hours of travel, the group finally found the site where Qiongqi fell.
…
“Little Taoist, are they dead or alive?”
Hu Tudou looked around the environment and instinctively hid behind Chen Changsheng.
Facing those lifelike spirits around, even Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Thirty thousand years have passed, and these spirits not only haven’t turned to dust but have become even more vibrant.
If it weren’t for not detecting any spiritual sense fluctuations or luck from them, Chen Changsheng would have turned back.
“They should all be dead, but they have survived in another way.”
“Xiancha, what does that mean?”
Moon Shadow subconsciously asked.
At this moment, Bai Ze next to him spoke, “Chen Changsheng means that we have encountered the worst-case scenario in tomb raiding—zombies.”
“Zombies are a term used by grave robbers in the mortal world; the strongest zombies in the cultivation world are called untransformed bones.”
“Based on the situation, it seems that the experts of the human, divine, and demon clans won that battle.”
“But after killing Qiongqi, everyone was exhausted, so they used their last strength to set up a large formation to gather spiritual energy, hoping to nourish their bodies and live again.”
“However, after the formation was completed, the originally dead Qiongqi suddenly erupted and forcibly seized the center of the battle.”
“It was because of this situation that a stalemate was formed.”
“If anyone disrupts this balance, over eighty percent of the corpses here will go berserk.”
“Thirty thousand years ago, they were top-notch experts. Now, after thirty thousand years of nourishment by the large formation, imagine their strength.”
Hearing Bai Ze’s words, everyone’s mouths twitched.
But Chen Changsheng was still staring at the large formation not far away.
Suddenly, Chen Changsheng said, “Kneel down and bow, remember to aim correctly, don’t bow to the wrong one.”
“Humans seek humans, demons seek demons.”
“Although these corpses are already dead, they should still retain some lingering desires.”
“Whether you can obtain inheritance depends on your luck.”
“Afterwards, we need to quickly withdraw from the Qiongqi Tomb. I underestimated the danger here.”
“If the dead corpses awaken, we will surely d*e.”
Upon hearing this, Moon Shadow and the others did not hesitate at all and knelt down to start bowing.
“Hit harder!”
“Make sure your kneeling sounds reach their ears.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, everyone’s mouths twitched, but they still chose to obey.
“Dong dong dong!”
The ground around them trembled slightly, as if several hammers were striking the ground.
