Chapter 1096: Chapter 696: Years Pass in the Blink of an Eye, A Palm Strike Towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Chapter 1096: Chapter 696: Years Pass in the Blink of an Eye, A Palm Strike Towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Old Burial King was somewhat startled.

He knew the golden figure all too well.

Once rooted in the Burial Domain, mirroring the Taoist Fragments within, it was an existence not even he dared to provoke.

It wasn’t that the golden figure was formidable,

but rather because of its origin.

It was a fragment of a top-tier behemoth.

Coated with immense karma, unfathomable, fear-inducing. Even kings should not lightly come into contact with it unless one thought themselves to have a fate resilient enough; otherwise, the wise would stay as far away as possible.

Unexpectedly, the First Spiritual Root of the Lower Realm had mixed quite prosperously, having taken refuge under the Emperor after departing the Burial Domain early on.

Truly worthy of being a predecessor, with such a keen and ruthless insight!

“What good fortune, what good luck,” the Old Burial King sighed lightly, his tone laced with a hint of envy and emotion.

He could sense that the aura emitted by the golden figure was much more profound than before. Clearly, the figure hadn’t taken refuge under the Emperor a mere few days ago. There must have been some time, and after doing so, the figure had made considerable progress, reaping unexpected benefits.

While the Old Burial King’s mind wandered, the golden figure suddenly moved.

It slowly lifted its head, and as the Old Burial King discovered its presence, the golden figure also noticed the Old Burial King’s aura.

The golden figure sat cross-legged in the air, its eyes flickering with golden light, seemingly surprised as it carefully observed the Old Burial King.

King Huo Heng Burial’s heart instantly tensed; he could feel the powerful aura radiating from the golden figure, and he couldn’t help but brace as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, the golden figure made no move, simply watching the Old Burial King quietly. After a moment, as if it had confirmed something, it patted its buttock, plunged into the vigorous mountain peaks below, with astonishing speed, disappearing in an instant, vanishing from the Old Burial King’s perception without a trace.

Seeing the First Spiritual Root of the Lower Realm, other Burial Kings also took notice, but seeing the golden figure vanish in an instant, they retracted their gazes, not finding anything incomprehensible in it.

Being able to take refuge under the Emperor was something all beings dreamed of obtaining; the figure was indeed a predecessor, but it still fell within the domain of kings.

…

After another stretch of stone-paved road.

Old man Lin leading the way slowly stopped, his face full of smiles, pointing to an open, flat area ahead and said, “Esteemed Burial Kings, our residences lie ahead,”

The group of Burial Kings followed the direction Old man Lin pointed to; their expressions first stunned, then covered by intense delight.

In the distance, there were layers of temples and palaces, luxurious and orderly; graceful corridors winding; the overall architecture was resplendent with gold and jade, grand, like a fairy palace descending into the mortal world.

Even in the eyes of the Burial Kings, it was marvelously breathtaking.

Of course, as kings and Burial Priests, they had long since lost any interest in such external things.

The reason for their stirred emotions was first, because these were the residences arranged for them by the Emperor.

Secondly,

and most importantly,

beneath those orderly temples and palaces was covered with a vast expanse of grayish Burial Earth, stretching endlessly…

Fine as sand, shimmering with dazzling and blinding golden light, when the wind blew across, the thick Burial gas that could not be dispersed surged, each granule of Burial Earth more brilliant, like fire-forged gold dust.

This was indeed the Burial Earth.

Aside from within the Burial Domain, this was the only time the group of Burial Kings had seen Burial Earth outside of it.

Moreover, the quality was even more exaggerated than the Golden Burial Soil within the domain.

Within the Golden Burial Soil, only a few would be as fine as this golden sand.

Worthy indeed was the Emperor!

Truly a marvel of divine craftsmanship!

The eyes of all the Burial Kings revealed shock and awe.

As Burial Priests, they naturally had profound knowledge and understanding of Burial Earth.

Burial Earth was the foundation of the Burial Priests, the very core of their cultivation.

And this expanse of Burial Earth was not only sizable, but its quality had also reached a shocking level, surpassing any Burial Earth they had ever seen.

“Many thanks to the Emperor for this arrangement,” the Burial Kings felt moved, expressing their thanks. They knew that this was the Emperor showing his esteem and deep affection for them.

Seeing this, Old man Lin also revealed a contented smile. Being the “Old man” under the Adult with the oldest stature and qualification, he naturally understood the Adult’s intentions.

The arrangement was not only to give the Burial Kings a good cultivation environment but also to better integrate them into this world.

Such a meticulous heart.

The Adult was already so divinely mighty, yet still so eagerly seeking the worthy; Old man Lin felt inexplicably emotional, realizing that taking refuge under the Adult early on was the most correct decision of his life.

Should it be now, someone like him probably wouldn’t even be able to enter the village gate, let alone become a village chief.

“Esteemed Burial Kings, this Old One has other matters to attend to and shall take his leave first,” With the thought put away, Old man Lin cupped his hands and smiled at the group of Burial Kings.

As he said, he was indeed very busy every day, with almost all the affairs in the village requiring his final say.

“Village Chief, please do as you wish!”

King Huo Heng Burial immediately nodded, not insisting on any formality.

For one, it was their first meeting and there was no need for excessive politeness.

Secondly,

although Old man Lin’s status was impressive, as Burial Kings newly coming into contact with the Heaven and Earth Laws, they did not place much importance on power and position.

After Old man Lin left, the group of Burial Kings didn’t hesitate and directly immersed themselves into the golden sand, eager to try the effects of such extraordinary Burial Earth.
