961: The Holy Sepulchre will open in January.

One month's time, passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the cracks in the Spirit Pass disappeared, the darkness no longer spilled out, and everything in the Desolate Domain returned to normal.

Six people arrived at the Shuofeng Tribe.

The Shuofeng Leader walked out. He looked at the old man among the six, a hint of shock and suspicion appearing in his eyes. This old man's Aura was restrained and unfathomable.

"May I ask who you are, Senior?"

The Shuofeng Leader looked at the old man and asked, cupping his hands.

Ye Ziran, dressed in blue robes, stood beside the old man. He smiled and said to the Shuofeng Leader, "This is the Confucian Sage!"

"Confucian Sage?"

The Shuofeng Leader's pupils constricted.

He hurriedly bowed to the Confucian Sage and said, "Junior Yeshuo greets you, Senior."

How could he not know the name of the Confucian Sage?

This person had long since stepped into the Half-Saint Realm, and his cultivation was monstrous, making one feel awe.

The Confucian Sage nodded at the Shuofeng Leader and chuckled, "That kid Ye Bahuang said that kid Xie Weilou is here?"

"Young Friend Xie is indeed here."

The Shuofeng Leader replied respectfully.

At that moment, Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang walked over.

"Greetings, Confucian Sage!"

The two bowed to the Confucian Sage.

The Confucian Sage's gaze fell upon Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, a smile appearing on his face: "No need for such formalities!"

These two were a talented man and a beautiful woman; they were quite good, and their future was something to look forward to.

Xie Weilou looked at the five people beside the Confucian Sage; he had seen Ye Ziran and Wen Jiu before.

The other three were all middle-aged men with the might of Venerables, whom he had never seen before.

The first person wore elegant white robes, was filled with upright, awe-inspiring energy, and had a stern expression. He was the Confucian Sage's second Disciple, Dongfang Zheng, who cultivated awe-inspiring energy and was a master of the Confucian Dao.

The second person wore black robes, had a gentle smile on his face, a vigorous Aura, and great strength. He was the Second Master of the Academy, Su Huaren, and also a mighty expert of the Jie Tian Sect.

The third person wore grey robes, possessed a composed demeanor, an extraordinary temperament, and was gentle and refined. He was the Fourth Mr. of the Academy, Lu Zhili, and also a mighty expert of the Heaven Mending Sect.

Dongfang Zheng and the others were all sizing up Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, a hint of approval appearing in their eyes.

These two young people were both quite good.

Relatively speaking, the three of them were people who had lived for thousands of years and could be considered Old fellows.

The Confucian Sage smiled and said to Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, "The Great Sage Tomb is about to open, and the people from the Zhongzhou Academy have already arrived at the location of the tomb. We will go and rendezvous with them now."

"Alright!"

Xie Weilou cupped his hands slightly.

The Confucian Sage did not hesitate and immediately took everyone away.

Desolate Domain.

In the northeastern region, there were eight thousand great mountains, appearing like a crouching dragon, with imposing momentum and immense pressure.

In the central area of the eight thousand great mountains.

There were eighteen small peaks connected end to end, and in the center of these mountains was a lake, the water of which appeared azure blue.

On the summit of one of the small peaks, Li Fusheng and the other eleven people were gathered together.

There were twenty sacred tomb tokens in total; the Hongru Academy held eight, and the remaining twelve were in the hands of the Zhongzhou Academy.

There were also some people around who had come to join the fun, intending to fish in troubled waters; it was clear they planned to risk entering when the Sacred Tomb opened.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou and the others flew over.

Li Fusheng looked at the Confucian Sage and said with a smile, "We have to risk our lives this time; are you prepared?"

His situation was similar to the Confucian Sage's; both were running out of Lifespan, and entering the Great Sage Tomb this time was naturally a life-or-death struggle.

At the very least, risking one's life here was much safer than risking one's life in the forbidden zones. If they could not succeed here, they would have no choice but to risk their lives entering the forbidden zones eventually.

The Confucian Sage smiled indifferently, "I have long been prepared."

Xie Weilou looked toward the twelve people from the Zhongzhou Academy.

Ye Lingxu, Ye Linghuang, and Ye Anlan were all among them.

Zhou Tian Holy Son, the Imperial Daughter Imperial Abyss, and Qin Chanyue of the Longevity Holy Land were also here.

Besides them, there was a fair-faced man in white robes filled with the power of light, and a woman in black robes filled with Sword Qi.

These two must have come from the Bright Holy Land and the Myriad Sword Holy Land.

The people from the Holy Lands and Imperial Clans followed the Zhongzhou Academy, likely because they had given the Zhongzhou Academy huge benefits in exchange for a sacred tomb token; otherwise, the Academy would not have given them one.

As for the remaining three, they were all white-haired old men.

They were all Venerables, filled with Death Qi, belonging to those whose Lifespans were ending and who were about to die. They came from the Zhongzhou Academy and the Imperial Clan.

Entering the Great Sage Tomb this time, their goal was the same as Li Fusheng's and the Confucian Sage's: to fight for a glimmer of life.

Li Fusheng looked at Zhou Tian Holy Son and the others, "Once you enter the Great Sage Tomb, take what Opportunity you can, and bear the consequences of life and death yourself."

These Holy Lands and Imperial Clans had given the Zhongzhou Academy huge resources to exchange for the sacred tomb tokens.

Regarding the matter of the Sacred Tomb, everyone could enter with a sacred tomb token; as for what would happen after entering, that was not his concern.

"That is natural."

Zhou Tian Holy Son and the others cupped their hands in salute.

The Confucian Sage looked at Xie Weilou and the others, smiling as he said, "I have similar words on my side. Once we enter the Great Sage Tomb, us Old fellows will have to fight for our lives; as for other matters, you handle them yourselves."

Matters like seizing Opportunity and good fortune depended entirely on oneself; these Old fellows needed to fight for their lives and were too busy to help these young people.

"Understood."

Xie Weilou and the others nodded.

The Confucian Sage looked at Li Fusheng, "We shall now open the Great Sage Tomb; you all should step back first."

Xie Weilou and the others moved their figures and flew back.

The Confucian Sage and Li Fusheng arrived above the lake. The Half-Saint Realm Aura on their bodies erupted completely, and the two quickly formed seals; powerful strength directly enveloped the eighteen mountains.

"Move!"

The two shouted loudly, and the eighteen mountains were wrapped in terrifying power, forcibly uprooted by them; each mountain was moved three hundred meters away.

After the eighteen mountains were moved away, the water of the lake flowed along a special trajectory; the path the lake water traveled formed a special Formation.

After half an incense stick of time.

The water in the lake flowed in all directions, and at the bottom of the original lake, an ancient plaza appeared, on which stood four statues of Divine Beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The Confucian Sage and Li Fusheng formed seals again, and powerful strength was crazily injected into the four statues.

Hum!

The four statues vibrated, flashing with four rays of light, and the power of the four Divine Beasts erupted, instantly blasting into the nine heavens, forming a square Grand Array in the nine heavens.

Boom!

In the nine heavens, the Grand Array roared, and a pillar of annihilation light blasted down from the Grand Array, landing directly in the center of the plaza.

The Formation formed by the surrounding lake water was pulled, rapidly floating up, and waves of mysterious power spilled out, surging toward the eighteen mountains in all directions.

Hum hum!

The eighteen mountains vibrated, and within the mountain bodies, cyan power simultaneously permeated, all surging toward the center of the plaza...
