A mere hundred thousand years of time outside, and yet it already reached the point where ascension to an Immortal King is necessary. Even witnessing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears, the Crown of the Fallen King still found it hard to believe.

In its own era, it seemed to still be wetting the bed and playing in the mud, right?

It was a Golden Burial Officer, the king amongst the lineage of Burial Priests, even favored by the Origin Ancient Device, and its journey has been overcoming all obstacles with unimaginable speed. Yet even so, it spent an entire eon before it successfully ascended.

“There’s no need for you all to wait by his side; he shows no signs of exiting seclusion yet. Time is insufficient and the accumulation has yet to reach such a degree. The current anomalies are merely preludes, indicating that he has made some progress on his own path. However, it still requires some time before truly reaching success and becoming one with the Great Taoist.”

Stunned for quite some time, this Burial King finally regained his composure and looked at Cao Yu Sheng, slowly speaking.

Its name was King Huo Heng, a formidable being that once had the opportunity to vie for the position of the Burial Area Lord. Now, it was second only to that chicken breeder in the Burial Area.

However, the latter has not appeared for many years, and the “chicken” it raised are nearly stepping into the King Realm.

“Such a false alarm!” Cao Yu Sheng sighed. He had thought Shi Hao had succeeded, not expecting there was still some way to go.

Let alone a little, even if it was a slight difference, he didn’t know how much time it would take to succeed. After all, the Great Taoist blocks the way; the closer you are to the end, the more difficult it becomes, even if it’s just the last step, which might need hundreds of millions of years.

Such examples were countless in the Immortal Domain.

“May I ask senior, when can my brother truly come out?”

After pondering for a bit, Cao Yu Sheng couldn’t help but ask. Both he and the Big Black Dog had merely fought for a lifespan of hundred thousand years for themselves, and when the time came, they had to bury themselves back into Burial Earth.

If it was going to take too long, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to wait for his good brother to crawl out of the pit.

“That, this lord cannot say for sure, it all depends on Huang’s fate. It might be a few hundred thousand years, or perhaps a million years, and even using an entire epoch is not impossible.” King Huo Heng shook his head.

Although he was a Burial King, he couldn’t know all under heaven in a single thought. He was far from that level, so he couldn’t specify how much time it would actually take, but it seemed unlikely in the short term.

“Thank you for the answer, senior!” Cao Yu Sheng sighed. Even though he expected this, hearing it still made it hard to avoid feeling some disappointment.

The Big Black Dog and the Taiyin Moon Rabbit respectfully bowed. No matter what, they were obliged to show full courtesy towards a being of King-class existence.

“Oh, I forgot to ask, what is the necessary connection between Burying Ground and your struggle for life?” King Huo Heng suddenly asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Burial Area indeed could be said to be a unique Holy Land, blessed by Heaven, especially the boundless Burial Earth that one could see at a glance, a rare treasure land in this world, possessing all kinds of mysteriously profound benefits.

If Sacred Elixir Spirit Herbs were planted on Burial Earth, not only would their growth speed be significantly enhanced, but the medicinal and spiritual properties would also be strengthened to some extent.

But having stayed in the Burial Domain for countless years, it had never heard of any beings other than Burial Priests being able to prolong their lives on this land.

If Burial Earth truly had such exaggerated effects, it would likely have become a prime target of attack from the outside world long ago and certainly wouldn’t have passed through such a lengthy period of time peacefully.

“Well, that’s actually a longer story!” Cao Yu Sheng scratched his head, considering how to start his tale without seeming abrupt.

After much deliberation, Xiao Pang continued, “This all began tens of thousands of years ago. The Big Black Dog and I were nearing the end of our lifespans. Huang couldn’t bear to watch us perish in this lifetime and sought a method to extend our lives everywhere. Finally, we received the answer from the Master of Liu Village. We had to learn the methods of the Burial Priests and then bury ourselves in the Burial Earth before we could fight for our lives.”

“How on earth can living beings learn the methods of Burial Priests?” King Huo Heng frowned.

It is said that all methods in the world can be learned by all people, and there are rarely any barriers between them, but the Method of the Burial Priests is not the same as others. This is a path with strong intentionality, hence it is also called the Burial Method.

Since the birth of the Burying Ground, no external life has ever been able to cultivate the Burial Method.

Cao Yu Sheng scratched his head again, unsure how to explain because Sanzang and Shenming had also said something similar. However, the fact was that both he and the Big Black Dog had not only learned the Burial Method but also showed unprecedented talent. Even later, Sanzang and Shenming more than once marveled and regretted, feeling that if they had cultivated the Burial Method earlier, they definitely could have reached an incredibly exaggerated extent.

“This seat does not disbelieve, just finds it hard to believe. Since we are here, demonstrate the Burial Method you’ve learned to this seat.”

“Yes!”

Cao Yu Sheng nodded like a pecking chicken, then started his movement. Instantly, the winds rose, and the clouds surged as the overwhelming buried gas rushed forth, forming a miniature tornado that gathered in Cao Yu Sheng’s hands. Finally, it condensed into a large character for ‘bury’.

“`

It was an ancient and cumbersome character, emanating a foggy gray mist.

King Huo Heng’s eyes widened, and after staring for a long time, he finally diverted his gaze.

“I am Huo Heng, the founder of the Burial Earth Huo style, having attained the King’s Path for eighty-five million years. Today, I ask you here, are you willing to become my closed-door disciple?”

“Junior is willing, ten thousand times willing!”

Cao Yu Sheng was stunned, somewhat doubting whether he had misheard, so he pinched his thigh hard.

Hiss.

The pain in his flesh.

A pain that seemed to penetrate to the bone.

He pinched too hard, he shouldn’t have used all his strength.

However, after the brief physical pain, Little Fatty’s face was immediately covered with a thick joy that was almost too dense to dissipate.

What virtues and abilities did he have to catch the eye of a Burial King? It was the good fortune and luck of eight lifetimes!

Without a second thought, Cao Yu Sheng began to kowtow forcefully to King Huo Heng Burial.

To the side, the Taiyin Moon Rabbit’s eyes were almost curved into crescents, genuinely happy for Cao Yu Sheng.

Indeed, it was Little Fatty he had taken a liking to, a truly promising individual, valued by a King-class existence.

“What about me, senior?”

From a corner, the Big Black Dog shook its four legs, scurrying over in haste.

Though its strength was somewhat stronger than Cao Yu Sheng’s, it was nothing more than Supreme. Being able to become a disciple under a King-class existence was an opportunity akin to smoke billowing from the ancestral grave–a chance in a blue moon.

It couldn’t be treated differently just because it was a dog.

Although it appeared to be a dog outside and inside, its bloodline was not simple.

“You?” King Huo Heng Burial glanced at the Big Black Dog, “You demonstrate the burial method you’ve learned. If it’s acceptable, then you too can surely become a disciple under me!”

The Big Black Dog’s eyes lit up, and it immediately began to practice diligently.

Although its talent in practicing burial methods was slightly inferior to Cao Yu Sheng’s, it wasn’t bad either.

Soon, an equally ancient and mysterious character hung over the paws of the Big Black Dog. While the process took a bit longer than Cao Yu Sheng’s, it went smoothly overall, surpassing even those Burial Priests in the domain who had been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years.

“Excellent, excellent, I’m lucky to have encountered two individuals with such potential!” King Huo Heng Burial was inwardly delighted, then stroked his beard, nodding his head in satisfaction.

The Big Black Dog was naturally overjoyed as well.

Seeing the nodding, it seems I, too, should be able to become a disciple under a Burial King.

“By the way, as your mentor, I’m curious to know, where did Huang come up with such a method?” Looking at Cao Yu Sheng and the Big Black Dog, compared to the beginning, King Huo Heng Burial’s tone had become a lot warmer.

It wanted to know which divine being could have come up with such an idea?

Not because the idea was particularly good, but because whoever could come up with such an idea must have already seen through both the man and the dog, already realizing they could practice the methods of the Burial Priest lineage.

That was the most terrifying part!
