434: Chapter 434 The Burial Site of the Heavens, the Sacred Land of the Azure Sky
"Hun Tiandi, that group of people being escorted just now should be disciples of various major sects and forces. What is the Emperor of Great Yan planning to do?"
Yao Ling frowned as she spoke.
"It's not clear yet. In the Gan Mountain range, by exhausting the power of an entire dynasty, the goal should be the imperial seal of the celestial dynasty!"
Hun Tiandi thought for a moment, looking at the distant miasma covering the sky and the crisscrossing mountain ranges.
In the countless valleys and rivers, there were no living people; only some magical beasts that breathed in baleful qi could endure it.
"Hiss... Blood sacrifice?" Hun Tiandi seemed to have thought of something, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"What did you discover?" Yao Ling was full of curiosity, her azure long hair dancing like flowing water.
"I previously guessed that Gan Mountain was a Heavenly Tomb, the burial site of the Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty, but this tomb isn't right. I've seen records of this in ancient books!"
"Why would he choose such an ominous point to bury himself? He wouldn't!" Hun Tiandi recalled the Hun Clan's library.
On the Fighting Qi Continent, there were many ominous points, but absolutely no one would do this!
"What kind of point is this?" Yao Ling asked in confusion.
"The number one ominous point under heaven: Heaven Burial!" Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
"Heaven Burial? That's impossible!"
"It should be correct. 'In the Heaven Burial Tomb, the desolate ends; once the ominous point opens, descendants are severed.' Once buried in this ominous point, one's descendants will be cut off and their bloodline extinguished. It is the number one ominous point under heaven!"
Hun Tiandi looked at the Gan Mountain ahead with unprecedented solemnity.
"How is that possible? The Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty was a powerhouse of his generation. How could he set up such a tomb to end his own lineage? Could it be that the Feng Shui techniques of that time deceived the heavens?" Yao Ling said in surprise.
"Deceived the heavens? That was the Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty; how could he be deceived? Without the Sovereign's consent, who would dare to act? Why on earth...?"
"Cold and evil, miasma everywhere, ten thousand ghosts howling."
"A Feng Shui Grand Array, a Feng Shui Grand Array that has existed for countless years and is still this powerful!"
Hun Tiandi was extremely shocked. This guess overturned his previous assumptions; it seemed the Fighting Qi Continent still hid countless secrets.
"Feng Shui Grand Array? And battle arrays..."
Yao Ling nodded. "On the continent, besides the methods of cultivating Fighting Qi, there are also methods of cultivating official merit, Feng Shui, and accumulating hidden virtue. The differences are vast!"
"Especially the practice of Feng Shui techniques. In this vast world, there are only a few people, and they all pass it down through a single lineage!"
"A Feng Shui Grand Array can only be set up by those who practice Feng Shui techniques, and they are very strange. A shallow Feng Shui array can ensure wealth and fortune, but I have never seen a superior Feng Shui array!"
"Only the cultivation techniques related to Feng Shui have all disappeared; they are hard to find on the continent!"
Hun Tiandi looked at Yao Ling in surprise; she actually knew about these things.
"Yes, for the Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty to be buried in the Heaven Burial Point, which is extremely ominous and baleful, and even for the outer Feng Shui Grand Array to be so malevolent, it's truly baffling!"
The two of them stood to the north. In the distance stood a youth who carried a pitch-black heavy sword on his back, coldly watching the soldiers and armor in the distance.
Followed by someone who looked like a servant, the youth spoke, "Who didn't attend the gathering this time?"
"Young Master, besides yourself, two others did not go, including Young Master Dao Jian."
The servant behind him spoke respectfully.
"Dao Jian? He is still so persistent about creating his own sword path. With so many sword techniques and Dou Techniques in the Sword Tomb, he doesn't even deign to take a look!"
The youth mocked.
"Young Master, if Young Master Dao Jian continues like this, he will take a detour and definitely won't be able to surpass the agreement made back then!"
"No, Dao Jian's comprehension is terrifying. People like us must never look down on him!"
Yin!
Suddenly, a phoenix's cry that shook the firmament came from above. Colored light flowed and shone as a massive phoenix shadow broke through the air.
Two cyan-red wings spread out on its back, tearing through space and sweeping over with a wild wind.
The colored light dissipated to reveal two figures, a man and a woman. The man had a slender build, his five-colored clothes moving without wind, his eyes swirling with five colors, and his whole body exuding majesty.
The woman wore a pale cyan dress, her long hair falling like a waterfall to her waist. With full curves and snow-white skin, she exuded an air of nobility.
"Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan? One of the three supreme Magical Beast families. It's rumored that this clan does not easily travel the continent..."
Facing the encirclement of the surrounding soldiers, they didn't take it seriously at all.
Swoosh!
An afterimage sped from afar and landed on the mountain peak. The man in full armor was none other than the Legion Commander of the Great Yan Dynasty.
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers dispersed. His eyes were cold as he said, "I hope you all do not disrupt His Majesty's arrangements!"
Whether it was the young master and servant or the man and woman from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they didn't take him seriously at all.
The Legion Commander was also helpless; these powerhouses were simply too strong.
"A youth of the sword seed? Truly interesting," Huang Yan smiled, his tone extremely indifferent.
"Protecting the Young Master is my honor. Your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was confronted by the Void Ancient Dragon Clan and didn't seem to gain any advantage!" the servant said coldly.
"A genius of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. I just wonder, why have you appeared here?" the youth asked.
"Who are you?" Huang Yan stared coldly at the youth.
The youth sneered, "I am the Young Master of the sword seed. Don't you know? My name is Wu Jian."
"Yao Ling, do you know who that youth's servant is?" Hun Tiandi asked curiously.
"Sacred Land, Cangtian," Yao Ling replied.
"The peak of cultivating official merit is a Celestial Dynasty, while the peak of accumulating hidden virtue is not a sect, but a Sacred Land!"
"There are countless powerhouses. Although a Sacred Land doesn't have as many people as a Celestial Dynasty, its peak experts are not weaker than those of a Celestial Dynasty; they just walk a different path!"
"However, Sacred Lands are reclusive and do not easily appear on the continent. They are even more mysterious than the Ancient Eight Clans!"
"They don't need to fight for the world. Their cultivation methods are different, and they cannot contend for hegemony if they aren't part of the mundane world!"
Yao Ling said indifferently.
Hun Tiandi understood in his heart. The peak of official merit was the Celestial Dynasty, and the peak of accumulating hidden virtue was the Sacred Land.
And what about Feng Shui? What was the peak of practicing Feng Shui?
Rumble!
In the distance, mountain peaks rose from the ground and smashed toward Hun Tiandi and Yao Ling, emitting a faint golden light. Just as Hun Tiandi was about to act—
Humph!
Yao Ling gave a cold snort and clenched her delicate hand. The mountain peaks flying toward them instantly crumbled, turning into dust and dissipating.
At the same time, Hun Tiandi saw Wu Jian and Huang Yan in the distance shatter the mountain peaks with casual strikes.
Countless mountain peaks flew through the air all around, but they were all neutralized by the experts of various forces.
"The Emperor of Great Yan is taking action to warn everyone?" Yao Ling's expression was solemn.
"His strength is very great. It seems his goal is indeed the imperial seal of the celestial dynasty. He noticed everyone long ago; the surroundings of Gan Mountain have already been under watch by all parties!"
Tang Junyao stood upon a mountain peak, her phoenix-like eyes cold. As her gaze swept the surroundings, she paused slightly upon seeing Hun Tiandi standing together with Yao Ling.
She frowned slightly. Behind her, Shui Xing shook his feather fan, his expression calm.
However, as he looked at Gan Mountain, solemnity appeared in the depths of his eyes. This was the number one baleful ominous point under heaven, and it was actually appearing at this time.
Within this, there were calculations of the Great Yan Dynasty; one could feel a powerful hidden hand pushing things from behind.
The surroundings fell into silence, as if everyone was waiting for the Feng Shui Grand Array to be broken before they would have a chance to take out the imperial seal.
The middle of the third day, a full moon!
A massive bright moon rose into the sky. Everyone watched with tranquil hearts; tonight was the time when Gan Mountain would undergo its transformation.
Hun Tiandi looked at the imprisoned people around them and the mountain-like piles of corpses. The thought in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
The gloomy and terrifying Gan Mountain range was filled with the wailing of ghosts and howling of gods, bone-chillingly cold.
Wu-ao...
Suddenly, a shrill wail of a magical beast shook the fields. The time had arrived.
Buzz!
Throughout the Gan Mountain range, from beneath the earth, countless plumes of black gas emerged, ten thousand times blacker than ink.
The endless black gas surged toward the firmament.
It covered the sky and blocked the sun, pitch-black as ink. Amidst this phenomenon of transformation, surrounded by black gas, many terrifying sounds emerged.
