Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522: Nascent Soul Leaving the Body

It’s strange, He Wujie couldn’t budge the grand tomb with powerful punches or smashing spiritual artifacts, but when Fang Bai lightly pointed a finger at it, a fist-sized, foot-deep pit appeared.

"This kid actually knows formation breaking... Haha, I’ve really found a treasure!"

He Wujie watched Fang Bai moving around the grand tomb, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, his finger occasionally pointing at the tomb, and every time he pointed, another foot-deep pit appeared, causing He Wujie to marvel in amazement.

"It’s done!"

When Fang Bai pointed his finger one final time, the tomb trembled slightly, and the defensive array on its surface broke on its own.

He Wujie clearly sensed that the spiritual energy surrounding the grand tomb weakened significantly compared to before, making him overjoyed.

"I’ll try again!"

He Wujie summoned his gourd and fiercely smashed it down upon the meteorite iron gate of the tomb once more.

With a loud "boom," that shook the earth and mountains, fine hairline cracks appeared on the meteorite iron gate.

"Haha... Now it’s hopeful we can break the gate!"

He Wujie laughed out loud, continuously summoning the gourd to smash on the meteorite iron gate, with the incessant sounds of "boom boom," the cracks on the gate multiplied, and the gaps widened.

After dozens of powerful strikes, the three-feet-thick meteorite iron gate of the tomb finally shattered and rolled down with a crash.

A wide and deep tunnel entrance appeared before Fang Bai and He Wujie, an eerie and chilling aura gushing forth from within, instilling an uncanny feeling of dread.

Past the dark entrance lay a long passageway leading straight into the depths of the tomb.

The deeper the passage, the dimmer the light, and nothing could be seen beyond ten feet.

Even when Fang Bai and He Wujie released their divine sense, they couldn’t probe anything beyond ten feet inside.

Evidently, the passage was permeated with a strange power that obstructed martial artist aura and even divine senses.

"This grand tomb is very peculiar!"

He Wujie stroked his beard, gazing solemnly at the pitch-dark entrance, "If the tomb’s interior holds the body of a certain martial artist, then that martial artist’s cultivation level was surely extremely powerful in life. Entering might bring great fortune! However..."

He paused and then continued, "Great fortune often comes with great danger! Just now, I sensed several puppet corpse auras inside this tomb that seem even stronger than those four puppet corpses from before. Besides that, there might be other unknown risks inside... Disciple, why don’t you guard outside while I go explore alone?"

Fang Bai knew He Wujie wasn’t trying to abandon him to hoard all the cultivation resources inside the tomb for himself, rather, he worried that the tomb’s dangers could threaten Fang Bai’s life. If they both entered at once, he might not be able to protect Fang from harm, so Fang smiled and said, "In we go together, out we come together! As master and disciple, we should share both blessings and hardships! Don’t you agree, Master?"

He Wujie laughed and said, "You’re right! Since you’re not afraid, then accompany me in! But remember, if there is real danger, I will do everything to protect you, so watch for the chance to retreat!"

Fang Bai nodded in agreement.

"Follow behind me! Let’s go!"

He Wujie kicked aside a shattered piece of the door blocking them and strode into the passageway.

Fang Bai followed closely behind.

Entering the passageway, a chillingly cold aura enveloped the two, as if they were in an ice cave. Fortunately, He Wujie and Fang Bai, one being a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and the other having a Chaos True Body, could resist the invasion of that icy aura.

However, after passing ten feet, their figures were swallowed by the darkness within the tomb, and the cold aura suddenly intensified.

He Wujie had to silently operate his cultivation technique to circulate the fire spirit energy rapidly within him to drive away the penetrating cold aura.

At the same time, worried that Fang Bai, who only had Foundation Establishment perfection cultivation level, might be affected by the cold aura, he formed a spirit qi shield with fire spirit energy to cover Fang Bai.

Deep inside the tomb, objects more than three feet away were difficult to discern, divine sense was thwarted, and no plan could be devised regardless of strength.

He Wujie took out a fire spirit stone, intending to use it for illumination. Unfortunately, the fire spirit stone only lit up a mere few feet, providing no significant help, and risking exposure instead.

After walking a short distance, He Wujie simply put away the fire spirit stone again, finding rather a sense of safety within the darkness.

"This way, we’re too passive! If ambushed, we’d be defenseless! Let me release my Nascent Soul to scout ahead!"

Reaching a corner, He Wujie paused, glowing brilliantly around him, his body trembling slightly, before a miniature figure condensed from spiritual energy separated from him and quickly darted ahead like a cat.

"Nascent Soul outing..."

Watching the significantly shrunken "He Wujie" gradually disappear into the darkness ahead, a strange gleam flickered in Fang Bai’s eyes.

After a Golden Core expert advances to Nascent Soul expert, the golden core within the Qi Sea transforms into a baby, not only enhancing strength but also doubling lifespan, thus recognized by martial artists as truly powerful.

Upon releasing the Nascent Soul, a Nascent Soul expert can probe the surroundings in place of divine sense, and the range of exploration relates directly to the martial artist’s cultivation level.

He Wujie is only at the initial Nascent Soul realm; the probing range is farther than divine sense but still falls short compared to mid, high rank, or perfection Nascent Soul experts, there can be no comparison.

An initial Nascent Soul expert can’t directly use the Nascent Soul to fight; but at mid Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul possesses some auxiliary offensive and defensive abilities; at high rank or perfection Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul’s strength equals half of its body’s cultivation.

If two Nascent Soul experts duel, the strength of their Nascent Souls could decisively determine the battle’s outcome.

When detached from the martial artist’s body, the Nascent Soul is controlled by it but has independent awareness, and its sensitivity to danger is sharper than the body, issuing warnings and swiftly retreating to the body in a crisis.

He Wujie released his Nascent Soul intending for it to scout risks ahead and promptly provide feedback, thus gaining more time to counter dangers.

He Wujie’s Nascent Soul moved cautiously in the direction a hundred meters ahead, and the scenery it witnessed was fed back in real-time to He Wujie’s mind, as if he saw firsthand.

Inside this grand tomb, Fang Bai experienced severe hindrance to both his aura and divine sense, rendering him like a blind person, helplessly following He Wujie’s lead.

It’s the first time Fang Bai felt so powerless since his reincarnation, silently lamenting his cultivation level was still too weak.

"Quick, retreat!"

Suddenly, He Wujie grabbed Fang Bai’s arm and swiftly fled backward, simultaneously retrieving his Nascent Soul.

"What happened?"

During their retreat, Fang Bai noticed He Wujie’s serious expression and blurted out.
