317: Innate Grave-Digging Sacred Body

Zhou Leren lingered here for a moment.

He then took the list and the Jade Slip back to Qingyang Peak.

He had also reviewed the contents of the list.

The Venerables and powers represented by each name on the list needed to be added to the Clan's records and archives.

This way, if any Family disciples encountered them, they wouldn't be completely clueless.

Xuan She Tribe.

Above the Wuqi River.

After Zhou Leren left.

A precious bead broke through the river surface and emerged.

Inside, Mo Xuan's Divided Soul extended his Divine Sense.

Moments later.

The precious bead smashed through the Void Realm and vanished from its spot.

Barren State.

Nameless desolate valley.

Deep underground.

Dim lines connected, forming paths.

They formed a trapping Formation that had been sealed for an unknown number of years.

Inside the trapping Formation.

Three figures stared blankly at the changes unfolding before them.

"Big Brother, didn't you swear repeatedly that there would definitely be no accidents this time?"

Third Elder Miao, who looked like a young man, spoke with a hint of resentment.

"Exactly, exactly~"

"Big Boss's intuition is becoming less and less reliable~"

Second Elder Dou, with his aged face and effeminate voice, unconsciously adopted this maidenly posture.

Hearing this.

Big Boss Qi and Third Elder Miao instinctively shivered.

They each took a few steps backward.

"Cough, Second Elder, pay attention to yourself."

Big Boss Qi, bald and scarred, wearing a flowing white robe, coughed and quickly regained his confident demeanor.

He was also depressed.

Based on his intuition, this time should have been a sure thing.

But he never expected this cursed place to be not only a fake tomb of a True Monarch.

The Formation set up by the tomb owner countless years ago could still be activated.

Trapping them inside the Formation just as they were about to leave.

Big Boss Qi continuously probed the suddenly appearing trapping Formation with his Divine Sense.

He dared not be careless.

If he took one wrong step and the Formation shifted.

The trapping Formation would transform into a killing Formation.

By then.

It would truly be another case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

"I know what to do!"

After a long time.

Big Boss Qi's eyes lit up, and under the expectant gazes of Second Elder Dou and Third Elder Miao.

He slowly uttered a single word.

"Wait!"

"..."

Second Elder Dou and the other nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"The power of this Formation is gradually weakening."

"As long as we don't move and wait here for a period, the Formation will naturally break without attack."

"Why should we waste our focus and magic power risking breaking the Formation?"

Big Boss Qi was beaming with pride.

He believed this was absolutely the best possible strategy.

"That is the only way..."

Second Elder Dou and Third Elder Miao exchanged glances.

And slowly nodded.

Ever since they were captured and joined the Zhou Family.

The three of them had become increasingly cautious.

Although this caution was still somewhat unreliable.

At this moment.

An overwhelmingly powerful aura entered the minds of the three people.

The three were momentarily dazed.

Before they could react.

Time and space flowed around them.

When they focused their eyes.

They had already arrived on the surface.

"I told you, this time would be extremely smooth..."

Big Boss Qi said subconsciously.

"Cough cough~"

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Second Elder Dou coughed furtively.

He then bowed respectfully alongside Third Elder Miao toward the azure blue pearl high in the sky.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Big Boss Qi secretly slapped himself hard in his mind.

He quickly bowed in salute.

Normally he was also very steady, but the three of them shared deep feelings and treated each other as equals.

He only behaved this way in front of Second Elder Dou and the other.

"Hiss!"

"The Old Ancestor actually came personally to rescue us!"

This thought flashed through the minds of the three simultaneously.

They were almost moved to tears.

High in the sky.

A phantom image materialized.

Mo Xuan speechlessly watched the three figures below, who were excited and faintly teary-eyed.

"How many is this now?"

Mo Xuan asked leisurely.

The three were stunned.

Big Boss Qi was the first to react.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, this is the third."

"However, this was a diversion set up by a True Monarch, merely a false tomb."

"There wasn't much gain inside, only this third-tier Medium Grade spirit flute."

Big Boss Qi's tone was excited and slightly choked, yet also tinged with pride.

He took down a white jade flute hanging from his waist.

And presented it in his hand.

"The third one..."

Mo Xuan's gaze was profound.

The three had only been in Barren State for three or four years.

Yet they had already consecutively discovered three cultivators' tombs.

One must know that Barren State had long been controlled by the Xuan She Tribe.

But even they hadn't continuously discovered major cultivators' tombs like these three.

"Could there truly be a special Physique like the Innate Grave-Digging Saint Body?"

Mo Xuan began to doubt his self-perception.

"What is your name?"

Mo Xuan glanced at the third-tier spirit flute, not taking it to heart.

Instead, he continued to ask.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, my surname is Qi, and my given name is Dade."

Big Boss Qi was immensely excited.

He must have truly caught the Old Ancestor's eye.

Otherwise, why would the Old Ancestor personally inquire about the name of a mere Golden Core Guest Elder like him?

"Qi Dade, should be Qi Que Dade instead..."

Mo Xuan muttered in his heart.

"Do your work well. Twenty years from now, I will give you an Opportunity."

Mo Xuan thought for a moment and said to Qi Dade.

One sutuo ancient token can bring ten people inside.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

Qi Dade and the two others were immensely excited.

They thanked him together, bowing.

The three were connected by the same Qi; if one prospered, they all prospered; if one suffered, they all suffered.

"Old Ancestor, then what about this spirit flute..."

Big Boss Qi looked at the spirit flute in his hand with some hesitation.

"Since it was not obtained through Family channels, it is your own Opportunity, and you may dispose of it yourselves."

Leaving this sentence behind.

The precious bead submerged into the Void Realm.

Subsequently, a wave of magic power transmitted from the Void Realm.

After circling around Big Boss Qi and Second Elder Dou, it dissipated.

"B-Big Boss, Second... Sister!"

"You've changed back!"

Third Elder Miao turned his head.

He saw a handsome Young Master in white robes, holding a long flute. His face was scarless, his features beautiful, and his dark hair flowed freely.

Anyone who saw him would have to praise his good looks.

Within the Zhou Family, perhaps only Elder Beihai could compare with him.

Beside the handsome Young Master in white robes.

Was a seductive and charming female cultivator who looked to be in her thirties.

Hearing Third Elder Miao's surprised cry.

Second Mother Dou reacted the fastest, grasping a precious mirror in her hand.

"Ah!"

The high-pitched female voice pierced the tranquil sky.

After a long time.

Second Mother Dou finally calmed down.

Hot tears were streaming down her face.

"We originally intended to accumulate contribution points and then ask the Old Ancestor to personally remove the curse we suffered."

"We never expected..."

Big Boss Qi's voice grew softer and softer.

But his heart became increasingly resolute.

This Barren State might just be their destined home in this cruel cultivation world.

"Big Brother, you can go sell your face again."

Third Elder Miao was ecstatic.

He recalled that Big Boss had previously gathered quite a bit of intelligence using his appearance.

Which was why they had succeeded every time.

But ever since they were cursed inside the ancestral tomb of that Soul Transformation Family.

Things had become increasingly unfavorable.

He figured it must be because Big Boss hadn't been able to sell his face.

The more Third Elder Miao thought about it, the happier he became.

"Ignorant!"

"How could trivial gains be as important as the Old Ancestor's reputation!"

They were Guest Elders of the Zhou Family; their every word and action represented the Old Ancestor's reputation.

Even if he didn't care about his face, the Old Ancestor still did.

"Big Brother is right to lecture me."

"Then in the future, we will disguise ourselves before acting. This way, we won't expose our identities."

"Naturally, we won't lose face for the Old Ancestor."

Third Elder Miao listened to the lecture, suddenly thought of something, his eyes brightened, and he whispered to the two.

Second Mother Dou was immersed in her recovered appearance.

Her tears were practically turning into a great river; how could she be listening to the two men talk?

Big Boss Qi looked at Third Elder in surprise.

Did Third Elder actually grow a brain?

Old Ancestor Mo: Good, good, good...
