Undying Life

Chapter 190: The Name of the Cave, Heavenly Tribulation

Three days later, a dozen or so people stood at the summit of a high mountain: Zhongshan, Qianyou, Gulin, Shuijing, Ada, A'er, the guardians and the five first-generation disciples of the Yuheng Sect.

Together, they stood at the top of the mountain, looking in the distant direction. It was so far away that even Zhongshan couldn't see the target everyone was focusing on.

Zhongshan closed his eyes and waited. Since he couldn't see, he could still imagine the scene in the distance.

The direction they were looking at was the location of the Yuheng Sect.

At this moment, in front of the Yuheng Sect, stood four heavily armed warriors at the forefront, followed by more than thirty thousand soldiers.

These four warriors were the commanders of the Da Ye Empire's army. Seeing that the entire Yuheng Sect had abandoned their sect and fled, they were stunned.

"These people from the Yuheng Sect have no backbone," one of the commanders said.

"It's because we scared them to death," another commander said.

"Now that there's no one here, how do we fulfill His Majesty's orders?"

"The next sect then, there are still eight left."

"This is bad. If the people of the Yuheng Sect have no backbone and abandon their sect, will the next eight sects follow suit?"

"Exactly, we need to act quickly. Each of us four commanders will take care of two sects. We must be fast and not delay His Majesty's grand plan."

"Let's go!"

Following the decision of the commanders, each commander led eight thousand soldiers and quickly left. This time, they dispersed and quickly moved towards the other four sects.

In no time, all the soldiers under the Yuheng Sect had left.

At the top of a distant mountain peak.

"Whew~"

All the people from the Yuheng Sect heaved a long sigh of relief. They had left, the people from the Da Ye Empire had really left. They hadn't even entered the sect, and they had suddenly left like this?

Seeing the expressions of Suifeng and the others, Zhongshan could also guess what had happened. It must have been a success.

"Thank you, elders, thank you, everyone," Suifeng said respectfully.

"Um," everyone nodded.

"This matter is likely related to the Great Yu Mountain Range. The people of the Yuheng Sect should not return for the time being. I will go to the Great Yu Mountain Range to see the results and then make arrangements," Princess Qianyou said after some thought.

"Yes," Suifeng immediately agreed.

"The Da Ye army has left, and the guardians and I need to return," Guardian suddenly spoke up.

"You're going back?" Princess Qianyou frowned slightly.

"Yes, the task of the guardians is to guard the mountain gate. Since the army has left, we naturally need to return to our posts," Guardian nodded.

"Um," Princess Qianyou nodded.

The two elders bowed respectfully to everyone and then disappeared into the direction of the Yuheng Sect like a flash of light.

"It's good for the guardians to go back. With their cultivation, even if the Da Ye Empire's army comes again, they can still retreat unscathed," Suifeng nodded.

"This matter is likely related to the Great Yinyue Mountain Range. The people of the Yuheng Sect should not return for the time being. I will go to the Great Yinyue Mountain Range to see the results and then deal with it," Princess Qianyou said after some thought.

"Yes," Li Suifeng immediately agreed—

Three days later, Zhongshan and the others finally arrived at the so-called Great Yinyue Mountain Range.

Outside the Great Yinyue Mountain Range, they settled on the summit of a mountain, each of them with a serious expression.

"Shuijing, this area just now, were they the tenth batch of prisoners? And now, outside the Great Yinyue Mountain Range, are all the cultivators imprisoned? And those frozen cultivator corpses? What are they going to do?" Gulin frowned.

"I'm not sure, but outside the Great Yinyue Mountain Range, there are endless soldiers. It seems that the Grand Enterprise Empire has mobilized all its forces for the sake of the Royal Seal," Shuijing said with a frown, pondering.

Zhongshan looked into the distance, where it was pitch-black, filled with miasma. A whole mountain range, completely dark. Many mountains, rivers, and valleys, even in broad daylight, looked terrifying and ominous. There were very few living creatures in the mountains, only some demonic crows that could withstand such an environment. At a glance, one could only see some jet-black crows. A kind of demonic crow, nothing else.

"Hiss..."

Princess Qianyou suddenly took a cold breath, her face full of horror.

"Princess, did you find something?" Shuijing asked immediately.

"It's not right, it's really not right. This shouldn't be happening!" Princess Qianyou's eyes were filled with incredulity.

"What's wrong? Qianyou, what's not right?" Gulin asked in confusion.

"Based on our previous speculation, this is a celestial tomb, the tomb of the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty. But this cave is wrong, very wrong," Princess Qianyou frowned.

"This cave is wrong?" Gulin was puzzled.

"Yes, when I was at the Yuheng Sect, I didn't notice it, but after returning to the Heavenly Dynasty and studying with the Tianlao for some time, I've learned about countless tombs across the world. Although I'm not proficient in it, I recognize this cave. How could the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty choose such a tomb for himself? It shouldn't be!" Princess Qianyou looked around again and again, as if trying to find the difference to dispel her doubts.

"What kind of tomb is this?" Shuijing asked in confusion.

"The number one ominous cave in the world, named 'Heavenly Tribulation'," Princess Qianyou said solemnly.

"Heavenly Tribulation? How is that possible? Princess, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Shuijing looked incredulous.

"I'm not wrong! 'Heavenly Tribulation, the lonely high vein, is entirely interconnected. Surrounded by revered veins, the later veins are low and pull back. When the mighty warriors rise, the later sects are extinguished.' This is the song of Heavenly Tribulation Cave. Once this cave appears, it means the destruction of descendants, the destruction of sects, and the end of bloodlines. It is the number one ominous cave in the world," Princess Qianyou pointed ahead and said.

"How could this be possible? That's an Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty. How could he choose such a tomb? Does he want to annihilate his descendants? Could it be that the feng shui master at the time deliberately deceived him?" Gulin was amazed.

"Deceived? That's an Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty. How could he be deceived? Without his consent, how could this place be turned into a tomb? It must have been with his consent. However, what was his purpose? The Heavenly Tribulation ominous cave? And..." Princess Qianyou narrowed her eyes.

"And what?" Gulin immediately asked.

"And before, Li Suifeng mentioned that on the night of the full moon, there would be ghosts roaming inside. So besides being a tomb, there must be something else here," Princess Qianyou said in a deep voice.

"What else?" Gulin was astonished.

"The Fengshui Great Array, a Fengshui Great Array that remains powerful even after tens of thousands of years, such a powerful Fengshui Great Array, in the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty, only Tian Lao could possibly set up, no, even Tian Lao might not be able to set up an array that would influence Fengshui for tens of thousands of years." Princess Qianyou exclaimed, shocked by her own speculation. At this moment, even Princess Qianyou herself was stunned.

"Princess, I've heard of Fengshui Great Arrays, but how are they related to battle formations and static formations?" Zhongshan suddenly asked.

Looking at Zhongshan, Princess Qianyou was surprised for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Currently, there are three main systems of cultivation in the world: accumulating virtue, pursuing fame, and practicing Fengshui. Each field is quite different, especially Fengshui practice. There are very few practitioners in the world, and it is usually passed down within a single lineage. Fengshui Great Arrays are large arrays that can only be set up by Fengshui practitioners. This kind of array is not the same system as battle formations and static formations. To us, it's an extremely mysterious formation. A simple Fengshui Great Array can protect prosperity and disaster, while a sophisticated one is beyond my understanding. However, there's one here. After today, we'll be able to see it tomorrow night."

"Yes," Zhongshan nodded.

"As Princess said, the tomb of the Heavenly Dynasty's emperor was built in this Heavenly Tribulation ominous cave, and even an extremely ominous Fengshui Great Array was set up on the periphery. This tomb is quite intriguing. The Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty's thoughts at that time were also intriguing?" Shuijing shook his feather fan, frowning.

"Let's wait until tomorrow night. Perhaps we'll find some clues then," Princess Qianyou said with a frown.

"Mm," everyone nodded.

Everything about this situation was so bizarre! —

To the north of Zhongshan and his group, in a distant valley, stood two black-clad figures. One was a young man with a broad red sword on his back, looking coldly at some passing soldiers in the distance. Behind the young man was another middle-aged man with a broad sword on his back. However, the middle-aged man seemed to be like a servant, standing behind him with his head bowed.

"Chu Ba, how many young masters have gathered this time? Are there still a few who haven't gone?" the young man asked in a deep voice, not looking at the middle-aged man.

"Young Master, besides you, there are three young masters who haven't gone, including Sword Proud Young Master," Chu Ba replied respectfully.

"Huh, Sword Proud? He's still so persistent, trying to surpass all the heroes in the world? Creating his own swordsmanship? Despite the endless swordsmanship in the Wan Sword Pavilion, he still disdains it and wants to create his own? Without accumulation, how can he create a sword?" The young man sneered.

"Yes, Young Master. In this way, Sword Proud Young Master will definitely take a long detour, and the gap between him and Young Master will only widen. The bet made in the past is gradually leaning towards you, Young Master," Chu Ba nodded.

"No, although Sword Proud is persistent, his comprehension is extraordinary. And among us young masters, who is easy to deal with? Don't underestimate anyone," the young man said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Young Master, Chu Ba was wrong," Chu Ba immediately bowed.

"Chu Ba, Mo Luo?" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sky.

The strength of the voice seemed to pierce through the clouds, shaking the earth for miles around. There was a hint of surprise and provocation in the tone.

Both Chu Ba and the young man looked up at the sky at the same time.
