“The mural records the collapse of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the return of nine immortals from the celestial realm afterward. They replenished the heavens and earth anew. According to the records of the Yantian Sect, these nine people were later revered as the Nine Heavens. Do you know about the Nine Heavens?”
Tian Miao looked at the two with an inscrutable expression.
“I’ve heard of them.”
Ying Bing nodded expressionlessly.
“You’ve actually heard of them?”
There was a look of surprise in Tian Miao’s eyes.
“A little bit.”
The strongest one among the Nine Heavens in the past nodded slightly.
Ke Mo glanced at her, thinking whether the ‘Phoenix Sky Empress’ mentioned in her destiny was one of the Nine Heavens.
With insufficient information, he couldn’t guess, so he asked Tian Miao again:
“At first, perhaps they were the inheritors of those nine saviors, but as time passed and the world turned, even immortals like them would be affected by time. Thus, they would choose the most outstanding individuals in various sects to inherit their teachings.”
“Those who inherit the teachings of the Nine Heavens are all the strongest in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
“Though powerful, they remain independent from the mundane world, and will only appear when there is a major change in the world.”
Upon hearing this, Ke Mo couldn’t help but think of a term.
Invisible guardians?
“At first, yes. What about later?”
“Later, perhaps there were problems within the Nine Heavens, or some unexpected events occurred, leading to a break in the inheritance. The Nine Heavens gradually became a term for the nine strongest individuals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
Tian Miao said with a sigh.
“Who are the current Nine Heavens?” Ke Mo asked curiously.
“I don’t know.” Tian Miao replied succinctly.
“The Yantian Sect is not omniscient; there are at least three types of fates that we cannot predict or see clearly.”
“The first type are extraordinary immortals, such as those in the Seventh Stage of Profound Realm, whose understanding of the Dao is deep, making their fates start to blur. Even more so for those in the Eighth Stage of Heavenly Connection.”
“The second type are those who possess divine artifacts that can conceal their destinies.”
“The third type are beings that do not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
Tian Miao finished speaking, looking earnestly at Ke Mo.
Ying Bing frowned slightly, her expression growing colder.
“Hmm, I have indeed obtained a significant inheritance before.”
Ke Mo nodded.
“?!” Tian Miao narrowed her eyes, ready to ask again.
But Ke Mo, who seemed nonchalant before, suddenly grew serious and said in a solemn voice:
“The jade pendant is heating up!”
He added, “This time, it’s real!”
Tian Miao was stunned. Could her made jade pendant be fake?
A soft sound came from behind, and a black shadow gradually became clearer under the gentle light of the pearl.
It was three figures, their bodies shimmering with metallic luster, their clothes tattered, barely recognizable as members of the Huanmo Sect, likely high-ranking priests. Their faces were terrifying, with only a desire for life remaining in their eyes.
Moreover, shadows surrounded them, thick like dark water, subtly distorting space, causing dizziness and lethargy just by looking at them.
“Field?!”
These two words simultaneously appeared in the minds of the three.
Hiss—
Ke Mo immediately activated his Extreme Weapon Body Technique, with the Great Sage Divine Intent and Taiyin Divine Intent appearing behind him, instantly entering combat mode.
The clear light enveloped his figure, dispelling the drowsiness in his mind.
Woo—
As consciousness returned, a pitch-black claw reached out in front of him.
Ding!!
The Crimson Sky Sword moved faster than forty, piercing through the opponent’s palm.
The pre-mortem realm of this zombie was extremely strong; otherwise, it would have long returned to dust in the flow of time. Moreover, its body had undergone thousands of years of cleansing by spiritual and demonic qi, making its physical strength even stronger than when it was alive.
The Crimson Sky Sword left a series of sparks on its body, leaving only white marks.
As everyone knows, what was Little Ke’s nickname?
He struck first with his sword, merely because the sword technique was light and fast, allowing him to gain a momentary advantage.
Forty silently landed in his palm.
The surrounding space abruptly froze.
On the Star-striking Pestle, rolling wind and thunder surged, the Great Sage Divine Intent opened its eyes, burning with golden flames, illuminating the shadows, where faint cries could be heard.
Shadows seemed to float with distorted faces.
Ke Mo raised the Star-striking Pestle, advancing against the illuminated path.
“Roar!”
The hammer’s shadow loomed large in the zombie’s eyes, fear audible in its roar.
Thud—
A solid blow.
The zombie stood straight.
How could he describe the experience of awakening after sleeping for years?
He stood up, one strike, what else was there to say?
“This zombie is somewhat strange.”
Ke Mo looked at the flattened body of the opponent, his face full of seriousness.
Unfortunately, the zombie could no longer hear anything; otherwise, it might have sat up in shock, realizing that not only could it use fields, but its physical body was also stronger than ordinary Inner Scenery practitioners, giving him a decisive strike.
Who was really strange?
Actually, it could still be understood. Although Ke Mo was only at the Sixth Stage of Viewing Gods, he performed the ultimate techniques of Transformation Realm, carrying two great Daoic forms, his body comparable to a disaster beast, with seven Mystic Pills inside. Who would have such strong consciousness, techniques, and physical strength…
To put it simply.
Is the God Hammer Little Overlord truly deserving of his reputation?
“It clearly died long ago, yet it can still activate something similar to a field.”
Ice Chunk, who ended the battle the earliest, looked thoughtful.
That field… was somewhat similar to the Black Beast’s, but weaker…
“That is a dream field.”
Tian Miao also ended her battle. The zombie she faced was covered with true words, its aura returning to extinction.
“Dream field… does that mean it can be called a dream zombie?”
Ke Mo heard the name of this uniquely named zombie for the first time.
So, the miscellaneous items given by Elder Qian, such as black donkey hooves, should be useless…
“Once, the Huanmo Sect had a branch called Yunmeng. They could walk in others’ dreams and grow stronger in their sleep. Upon reaching the External Scene realm, they could even turn things in their dreams into reality.”
“However, later on, this branch mysteriously disappeared. I never expected to encounter it here.”
“So, the identity of the tomb owner…”
Tian Miao looked at the figure on the far left of the mural.
Among the nine people, the figure on the far left.
