Chapter 421: 329 Burial Immortal Tomb_1

The Spirit Control Pool lit up with a dazzling spiritual light, and the eyes of the huge scorpion pattern shone brightly before quickly dimming.

Shen Long withdrew his palm and came over to have a look at the Spirit Control Pool, inside which was a purple scorpion with a pair of thin purple wings on its back.

The Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion let out an extremely grating shriek, but Shen Long was unaffected, as its rank was too low.

Shen Long took out the Demon-Purity Mirror, infused it with mana, and the mirror emitted a golden glow, enveloping the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion.

"Purity of Bloodline is two! It’ll do,"

Shen Long said.

He had no intention of rearing this Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion; it was uncertain how long it would take to cultivate it to the fourth rank.

Shen Long fed the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion a ten-year-aged poisonous herb, placed it into a spirit beast bag, and exited the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He planned to make a trip to the Burial Immortal Tomb to get the item sought by the Barbarian Tribe. He was unclear on what it was, only that the High Priest Zhesen of the Skywolf Tribe placed great importance on it.

Shen Long walked out and instructed Shen Hai, "You keep on cultivating!"

After he said that, Shen Long stamped his right foot on the ground and transformed into a beam of escape light, leaving the Spirit Control Sect.

······

Zhao Country, Hundred Ghosts Sect.

In a quiet manor, Yin Shan, Shen Yue, Liu Mei, and Su Sheng were sitting by a green stone table, talking about something.

"The protective prohibitions of the Burial Immortal Tomb are entering a period of weakness again, making it possible to go treasure hunting. Let’s hope we can get our hands on that item. Taoist Friend Yin, why don’t you come with us? The more the merrier."

Su Sheng said solemnly.

"I’m going too? Taoist Friend Su, that’s not what we agreed on before."

Yin Shan frowned and said. He was well aware of the dangers of the Burial Immortal Tomb and had no intention of taking the risk.

"That was before, and once we succeed, we won’t let you down. How can we be sure there’s nothing wrong with the map? It’s best if you come with us,"

Su Sheng said.

After pondering for a moment, driven by curiosity, Yin Shan asked, "What exactly are we going to find?"

"A Golden Soul Fruit Tree! I don’t need to elaborate on the benefits of a strong divine soul. The three of us working together shouldn’t have a problem. Once successful, I will ask Junior Sister Li to refine it into Golden Soul Pills, for us to share,"

Su Sheng explained.

"Taoist Friend Yin, if you help us obtain the Golden Soul Fruit, we at the Heavenly Ghost Sect will not let you down. If you don’t go, how can we be sure there’s nothing wrong with the map?"

Shen Yue said with a frown.

After a long pause, Yin Shan nodded, "Alright! I’ll run this one with you all, hoping everything goes smoothly."

He had no way out now. If even the Heavenly Ghost Sect wouldn’t protect them, his sect, the Hundred Ghosts Sect, would eventually be destroyed. With the map in hand, and Su Sheng and Shen Yue accompanying him, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

"Junior Sister Liu, you stay and guard our headquarters, and strengthen the defenses,"

Yin Shan instructed.

Liu Mei nodded and said, "Brother Yin, you all be careful."

Yin Shan gave a few more words of caution, then left the Hundred Ghosts Sect with Su Sheng and Shen Yue.

······

The Burial Immortal Tomb was located in the northeastern part of the Donghua Cultivation Realm, spanning over tens of thousands of miles with numerous layers of prohibitions.

The ground swelled, and a tall red-clad youth emerged from beneath it, it was Shen Long, having altered his appearance.

The Burial Immortal Tomb was in the territory of the Barbarian Tribe, and to be cautious, he had deliberately changed his looks.

"So this is the Burial Immortal Tomb?"

Shen Long muttered to himself, his expression grave.

Following Shen Long’s gaze, one could see a lush green mountain range shrouded in mist, with a narrow valley outside-and standing there, a hundred-zhang tall green stone stele bearing the golden characters "Burial Immortal Tomb".

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada and the Iron Tail Scorpion, with the Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitting a blinding golden light.

The Iron Tail Scorpion led the way, with Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada following behind.

Passing through the valley, a vast area of green bamboo forest came into view. The Iron Tail Scorpion entered the bamboo forest, followed by Shen Long, both disappearing among the bamboos.

Three days later, Shen Long appeared in the middle of a vast black forest, where towering black trees rose a hundred zhang high, their branches dense with leaves, blocking out much of the sunlight.

The Iron Tail Scorpion cleared the path ahead, and as it passed a towering tree, it let out a sharp, piercing shriek, its stinger suddenly trembling and releasing a swath of yellow threads that struck the trunk of the towering tree.

A black lizard fell from the trunk, motionless, as a mini lizard flew out from its body.

Shen Long took out a green jade vase and captured the mini lizard.

The Iron Tail Scorpion spat out a beam of yellow aura, enveloping the black lizard’s corpse, and then swallowed it whole.

Its venom was so potent that the Monster Beasts and Demon Insects it killed would soon turn to blood water, leaving no choice but to let it consume them.

The Iron Tail Scorpion continued to forge ahead, and Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada followed.

They had now reached deep into the Burial Immortal Tomb, where numerous restrictions were present, prohibiting even the Hundred Eyes Cicada from seeing too far.

Moving through the dense forest, they encountered a huge black lake, its waters so dark that the situation at the bottom was obscured.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada emitted a sharp cry, for it saw many faint threads above the surface of the lake-these were likely prohibitions.

Shen Long released dozens of Rank Two Gold-Winged Fire Ants and commanded them to fly ahead.

As the Gold-Winged Fire Ants crossed a certain area of space, their bodies split apart, cut into pieces as though they were tofu.

"According to the intelligence! There weren’t supposed to be any prohibitions here! It seems that the prohibitions have been relocated," he muttered to himself.

Every few hundred years, the restrictions within the Burial Immortal Tomb would shift, effectively changing location. Otherwise, someone would have long since taken all the good things from the tomb.

With things as they were, Shen Long had no choice but to detour.

Without hesitation, Shen Long immediately turned back the way he had come, with the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Hundred Eyes Cicada following suit, leaving the area.

······

An endless vast wilderness flashed with lightning and rumbled with thunder as thick bolts of silver lightning tore through the sky, striking towards Yin Shan and Su Sheng.

A thick black protective barrier enveloped the two of them, and when the silver lightning struck the barrier, it let out a dull roar.

The two of them flew swiftly forward, escaping the wilderness, which was free of thunderbolts.

"There are too many prohibitions here, but thankfully those three Lion Roar Beasts didn’t follow us," Yin Shan said with some relief.

They had entered the Burial Immortal Tomb in search of treasure and encountered three Rank Four Lion Roar Beasts, including one at the late stage of Rank Four. Shen Yue had perished, and they had dashed into a wilderness, escaping the Rank Four Lion-tiger Beasts with the help of the prohibitions.

"If one is unlucky, even drinking water gets stuck between the teeth. We haven’t even reached our destination, and Junior Sister Shen has already met with misfortune," Su Sheng said, frowning.

"We can only blame our bad luck. Even a spiritual treasure couldn’t deal with the late-stage Rank Four Lion Roar Beast. Let’s just hope the rest of our journey goes smoothly, without further hitches," Yin Shan said, his face showing a longing look.

If it wasn’t for Su Sheng’s suggestion, Yin Shan would not have planned to visit the Burial Immortal Tomb.

Barely having entered the tomb, they had already lost a Nascent Soul Cultivator. The tomb’s notorious reputation was well earned.

"Let’s hurry to our destination! Here’s to hoping everything goes smoothly," Su Sheng said in a grave tone, as he and Yin Shan departed.
