962: Enter the Holy Tomb, Frost Forest

RUMBLE!

The four Divine Beast statues let out bursts of roaring sound. The Eastern Azure Dragon and Western White Tiger statues quickly moved to the left and right sides.

A giant abyss instantly appeared in the center of the square. Mysterious power overflowed from the abyss, carrying terrifying spatial fluctuations.

This abyss was precisely the entrance to the Great Sage Tomb.

Li Fusheng looked at everyone and said solemnly, "The entrance to the Great Sage Tomb has appeared. Only those holding a sacred tomb token can enter. If you don't have a sacred tomb token, don't act recklessly, or you will lose your life."

Xie Weilou and the others took out their sacred tomb tokens. At this moment, the sacred tomb tokens flashed with light, showing signs of activity.

The Confucian Sage looked at Xie Weilou and the others: "This Great Sage Tomb is mysterious and unpredictable. We have never entered it, only knowing how to get in. As for how to get out later, you will need to figure that out yourselves."

"Understood!"

Xie Weilou and the others nodded lightly.

"Enter the Great Sage Tomb."

Li Fusheng stopped talking and immediately led everyone rushing into the abyss.

"Go..."

The Confucian Sage and the others quickly followed.

Xie Weilou held Lin Qinghuang's hand and leaped directly into the abyss.

The moment he entered the abyss, he perceived an extremely terrifying power of annihilation assaulting him.

However, the sacred tomb token in his hand flashed with a faint light, and mysterious power overflowed, enveloping their bodies, causing that power of annihilation to instantly dissipate.

In just a moment, everyone had entered the abyss.

Those who planned to sneak in immediately flew forward and reached the edge of the abyss.

"Without a sacred tomb token, can we really not enter?"

Someone stared at the abyss before them, a hint of unwillingness in their eyes. The Opportunity was right there, but they couldn't enter; this was agonizing.

"This abyss carries a power of annihilation. If one has the protection of a powerful Treasure Artifact, perhaps they can enter."

An old man in the Creation Realm decided to take a gamble. He took out a decent creation treasure artifact and used it to protect his body.

With a fierce look in his eyes, he erupted with terrifying Creation power and decisively entered the abyss. The entrance to the Great Sage Tomb was right before him, making it worth the risk.

BOOM!

The moment this person entered the abyss, the power of annihilation instantly ground him into dust—dead beyond dead.

"This power is truly terrifying; it can instantly crush even a Creation Realm expert. It's better not to act rashly!"

When the surrounding people saw a Creation expert fall, their pupils shrank, and they quickly retreated, unwilling to take the risk.

--------

An unknown land, the massive Ice Frost Forest.

A force descended from the sky, instantly blasting into the forest. Many trees were pulverized, and the ice crystals melted.

Inside the forest.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang appeared. The others who entered the Great Sage Tomb with them were transported to different areas.

"A Small World?"

Xie Weilou released his Divine Soul to scout the surroundings.

Under the scrutiny of his Divine Soul, he discovered a location where dense white bones had appeared, from which Divine Soul fluctuations were emanating.

Lin Qinghuang said, "The tomb of an ancient powerhouse is naturally not that simple. This should be the Small World opened up by the Great Sage of the Eastern Wasteland, somewhat similar to the Tomb of Turmoil before."

A true powerhouse's great tomb is naturally different from an ordinary grave; it must be hidden within a mysterious space.

"There are Divine Soul fluctuations in the forest. Let's go take a look; perhaps we can quickly figure out the situation in this Small World."

Xie Weilou's figure moved, flying toward the location from which the Divine Soul fluctuations were coming.

...

Lin Qinghuang quickly followed.

After half an incense stick's time.

In one area of the forest, dense white bones were piled on the ground—tens of thousands of them at a glance.

Among the white bones stood an Ice Frost Ancient Tree, its vines thick and robust, like pythons.

On top of the ancient tree stood a Rotten Wood Coffin, enveloped by vines.

Xie Weilou stared at the coffin on the Ice Frost Ancient Tree. The Divine Soul fluctuations came from this coffin; clearly, there was a living being inside.

...

Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, sending a bone from the ground smashing toward the Rotten Wood Coffin.

BOOM!

Just as the bone approached the Rotten Wood Coffin, the Ice Frost Tree shot out a sharp vine, shattering the bone.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Ice Frost Tree trembled, and a dozen sharp frost vines appeared from all directions, stabbing wildly toward Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang.

...

Xie Weilou took a step forward, and a wave of pressure erupted from his body, instantly shattering the vines.

"Hmm?"

Inside the Rotten Wood Coffin, a sound of surprise rang out, and the vines around the coffin dissipated one after another.

BANG!

The next second, the coffin lid shot out, blasting directly toward Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou casually reached out, pressed down on the incoming coffin lid, and gently squeezed.

CRACK!

The coffin lid was immediately crushed into powder.

"Interesting."

From the coffin, a man wearing a ragged robe and whose body was rotting climbed out. A Jade Amulet with the character "Tian" was hanging from his waist.

"Outsiders!"

The man sat on the coffin, his gaze fixed on Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, a hint of greed surfacing in the depths of his eyes.

He felt like a long-starved Vicious Beast encountering prey, ready for a feast.

"Kou Gong Peak?"

Xie Weilou looked at the man on the coffin.

The aura on this person was not very strong; he only had the cultivation of Kou Gong Peak.

Lin Qinghuang's gaze fell upon the Jade Amulet on the man's waist, and she said lightly, "You are a member of the Imperial Clan Tian Clan, aren't you!"

"Heh! You have some insight. I am Tian Que of the Imperial Clan Tian Clan."

Tian Que looked at Lin Qinghuang, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lin Qinghuang said indifferently, "Entering the Great Sages Tomb of the Eastern Wilderness requires a sacred tomb token. Did you come in holding a sacred tomb token?"

"sacred tomb token? I didn't come in holding any sacred tomb token."

Tian Que gave a cold smile, carrying a hint of gloom and resentment deep in his eyes.

Tian Que was also considered a Prodigy within the Tian Clan.

A hundred years ago, he entered the Barren Domain seeking Opportunity and happened to see a sneaky Old Daoist opening a mysterious passage there. Curious, he quietly followed.

However, he ended up trapped here for a hundred years. He hated that Old Daoist intensely, believing the Old Daoist had tricked him.

For someone in the Palace Knocking Realm, a hundred years was nothing.

What pained him the most was that outside this Ice Frost Forest, powerful clans were guarding it. Several times he tried to leave, only to be nearly annihilated, forcing him to stay here.

Look at the Corpse Skeletons around. These are all people who entered here in ancient times, all trapped and killed in this dense forest by the creatures of that clan.

Xie Weilou asked, "How much do you know about this Great Sage Tomb?"

"Great Sage Tomb?"

When he followed the Old Daoist into this world, he actually didn't know much about this place.

However, the people of those clans referred to people like them as outsiders.

Tian Que stared at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang: "How did you two get in?"

With outsiders arriving here, perhaps this was a good Opportunity for him to find a way to leave.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "It seems you don't know what this place is."

"Refuse to answer my question? Then I'll have to search your souls!"

Tian Que stood up, his figure moved, and he instantly appeared before Xie Weilou, launching a punch toward Xie Weilou.
