Chapter 479
Goodbye Emperor Xin
After reading the words on the communication talisman, Long Xuan's heart moved. There was actually a genius competition to be held in the Xuanyuan Empire.
It's true that what you need will come to you. He was just about to look for a place where there are many geniuses to find his destined person, but he didn't expect to encounter a genius competition soon. Perhaps there is no place with more geniuses than this place.
The corner of Long Xuan's mouth curled up, and he took out another communication talisman from the storage ring.
This communication talisman was the one that he and Emperor Xin exchanged with each other. He would certainly not let go of this person who, according to the prophecy, would turn the entire Gu world upside down.
He must hurry up and play chess with her. With Emperor Xin's speed of cultivation, if he is a few days slower, he might break through the Gu King. By then, the chess Gu's ability will be ineffective against the Gu King, and he will cry to death.
Long Xuan wrote on the communication talisman: Are you there? I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many years. Can we chat if you are free?
As he put pen to paper, the communication talisman in his hand turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Soon, the storage ring on his finger moved, and Long Xuan took out a communication talisman from the storage ring. After glancing at the beautiful handwriting on it, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next day.
On an unknown mountain range, there stands an old pavilion.
"Not bad! Not bad! Is this the coffee that has been all the rage in the world recently? The taste is really rich and memorable, and it deserves to be the third most popular drink in the world. I want to make a coffee Gu now."
"By the way, how many schools of thought have you been the founder of?"
A girl in a yellow skirt took a sip of the coffee in the cup and joked to the person opposite her.
Hearing this, Long Xuan counted his fingers and found that there were so many that he couldn't count them all.
"You know what? There are so many that I can hardly count them all. Even the recently popular 19-Route Chess was created by me. The game rules I improved are very interesting. Are you interested in playing a game with me?"
With just a few words, Long Xuan changed the topic to chess, revealing his true colors and looking at her with a smile.
Emperor Xin rolled his eyes at him. She was so smart that she immediately guessed why Long Xuan came to see her.
She certainly wouldn't believe that he came all the way to see her just to play a game of chess after not contacting her for many years.
Emperor Xin raised his lips and said jokingly, "Since you created the 19-Route Go rules, you must naturally refine a Go Gu that was created under the 19-Route Go rules."
"I heard that chess Gu refiners need to find geniuses from all over the world to play chess with. It seems that this is why you came to me. You want to take advantage of me again."
Long Xuan was thick-skinned, so he naturally didn't blush because of her words. He smiled and said, "It's just a small favor for an old friend. It's just a piece of cake."
Emperor Xin glared at him and said, "You want to get something for free again? That's wishful thinking. I never do small favors for others for free. If you want me to help you, you must pay me a satisfactory amount."
"Then what do you want?" Long Xuan asked.
Emperor Xin seemed to have been prepared for this. He immediately took out a thick book from his storage ring and placed it on the table in front of Long Xuan. He continued:
"This is a forbidden technique that I have painstakingly researched for many years. It is named "Bone Tempering Technique."
"The Bone Tempering Technique is extremely dangerous, and someone must protect me when I am practicing it. If you can help me practice the Bone Tempering Technique, then I will play this game with you. Otherwise, forget it."
Emperor Xin raised his head, crossed his arms and looked into the distance.
Long Xuan took the forbidden technique called "Bone Tempering Technique" out of curiosity. At this moment, he really wanted to see what kind of terrifying forbidden technique this talented girl could create.
You have to know that Emperor Xin often visited the treasuries of wealthy families and even stole from the imperial palace treasury. What kind of heaven-defying skills and forbidden techniques did he not have?
She chose to practice this forbidden technique instead of learning so many heaven-defying inheritances. It was enough to show that this "Bone Tempering Technique" was not simple and must be far beyond the forbidden techniques in the palace. Long Xuan was secretly looking forward to it.
However, even though he had already prepared himself mentally for the powerful "Bone Tempering Technique", after flipping through a few pages of forbidden techniques, he still couldn't help but gasp, his eyes widened, and he was completely frightened.
"The Bone Tempering Technique" can be said to be a body-refining technique that focuses on refining the bones. Those who practice this technique will make their bones extremely hard, even to the point of being as hard as the hardest metal in the world.
For those who practice "Bone Tempering Technique", their white bones will slowly turn into gold, and the hardness of the golden bones will be extremely exaggerated.
If only the bones were hard, then it certainly could not be called terrifying. Hammering the bones into gold was only the first step.
After all the bones in the body turn golden, due to their extreme hardness, they will become an excellent material for the base of the formation.
The most frightening thing about this forbidden technique is that it requires carving a large number of array patterns on golden bones, using the bones as the foundation to form a movable and extremely dangerous array.
This Emperor Xin actually planned to transform himself into an extremely dangerous formation. It was simply a crazy idea. Long Xuan was completely frightened by this bold idea.
If someone carries an extremely dangerous formation on his back during a battle, who can be a match for such a being?
Now he finally understood why Emperor Xin wanted him to assist her in practicing this forbidden technique.
Because the surface area of human bones is limited, there is not much space to carve array patterns. If one wants to refine a complex and extremely dangerous array, it is necessary to shrink the vast amount of array patterns ten thousand times and carve them on the golden bones.
The reason why this book is so thick is that there are too many formations that need to be engraved on the golden bones. Each formation in the book is extremely complex and cannot be easily engraved.
And in this world, there is no one else except him who can carve ten thousand times array patterns on Emperor Xin’s golden bones.
Long Xuan sighed in his heart. It seemed that Emperor Xin already knew that he could carve small formation patterns.
That’s right, this demon formation stayed on his ship for so long, how could it be possible that he didn’t discover the secret on the ship.
Perhaps it was her own inspiration that opened her mind and allowed her to create such a horrifying and outrageous forbidden technique.
"There are too many array patterns in the book. If you want to carve so many array patterns on your body, you will not only have to endure pain worse than death, but it will also take a very long time."
"If you do it now, you might miss the start of the Western Region Genius Competition." Long Xuan reminded after taking a deep breath.
Emperor Xin looked at him and said with a disdainful smile: "You don't think that I'm going to participate in the genius competition just because I'm in the Xuanyuan Empire?"
"Those are just children's games. I don't have time to fool around with those little brats! With such a small reward, it's a waste of time to go there."
The corners of Long Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. In her eyes, the competition that brought together all the geniuses in the Western Region was just a child's game. She clearly didn't take all the geniuses in the Western Region seriously. She was really arrogant.
Does she really have the ability to look down on all the geniuses in the Western Regions, or is she just bragging?
"Then your purpose of coming to Xuanyuan Empire this time is..."
Emperor Xin immediately replied: "I have touched the bottleneck of Gu King. As long as I find the resources to break through the realm, I can break through Gu King at any time."
"But you also know how difficult it is for a mortal to break through the Gu King. Conventional breaking king pills are useless to me." "I can only search the world for the most powerful spiritual medicine to break through the realm."
"After years of investigation, I found that there is a kind of heavenly spiritual medicine called the Heavenly Spirit Tree in the world."
"Even if you eat the Tianling Fruit on the tree raw, there is a 50% chance of breaking through to the Gu King level."
"The Heavenly Spirit Fruit definitely has medicinal properties that can help me break through. I must get it."
Emperor Xin clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a blazing light.
"And after years of investigation, I found out that the Heavenly Spirit Tree was brought into the ancient tomb by Emperor Cang Yue."
"So far, no one knows the whereabouts of Emperor Cang Yue's ancient tomb, but according to my calculations, it should be within the territory of the Xuanyuan Empire, and it is very likely in the area where we are."
"Because this terrain is extremely suitable for setting up a terrifying and dangerous formation, but I have searched here for many days and still haven't found any clues." Emperor Xin looked down and said with a very disappointed expression.
At this moment, Long Xuan was shocked. My goodness, this Emperor Xin actually wanted to take over Cangyue's Tomb. He was so bold. That was the imperial tomb. Just thinking about it would tell you how dangerous Cangyue's Tomb was.
Even if she was lucky enough to find the imperial tomb of Emperor Cangyue, it would be impossible for a mere Linghai stage Gu cultivator to steal it easily.
He specifically learned about the history of the Xuanyuan Empire and learned that the previous dynasty of the Xuanyuan Empire was the Cangyue Empire, which was an extremely ancient country.
If the empress in the empress's tomb in the far west was at most at the peak of the Gu King during her lifetime, then there is a high probability that the body buried there is a clone of the empress.
Then Emperor Cangyue must be an existence far beyond the realm of Gu King. He is not a figure of the Dharma Ending Age at all. The Cangyue Empire is too ancient. God knows how high the realm of the founding emperor of this empire was when he was alive.
It is no exaggeration to say that the danger level of the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum is much higher than that of the Yaoguang Empress Tomb. Faced with such a dangerous tomb, even he was frightened and did not dare to think about entering.
But the existence of the Heavenly Spirit Tree has infinite temptation, like a devil's voice luring him into the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum.
The Heavenly Spirit Tree is superior to the Earthly Spirit Tree. For Emperor Xin, it is a treasure that he must obtain at all costs, and the same is true for him.
As a person with the Ten Absolute Body, ordinary realm-breaking pills are useless to him. He can only search the world for the most effective realm-breaking elixir.
Now he is not far from reaching the bottleneck of Gu King. If he misses the opportunity to find the Heavenly Spirit Tree this time, the bottleneck of Gu King may keep him stuck for many years.
At this time, Long Xuan had to struggle with whether he should take the risk.
He subconsciously poured all his mental strength into the Eye of Heaven, using its maximum power to activate the Eye of Heaven, and looked toward the nearby underground.
Soon his scalp felt tingling. Oh my god, Emperor Xin actually guessed it right. The Cangyue Imperial Tomb was near this mountainous area.
And what a coincidence, right below this pavilion, there was a striking infinite progress waiting for him.
However, this thing that shows infinite progress is buried very deep, and has reached the limit of the detection range of the Eye of Heaven.
It was precisely because the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum was buried too deep that Emperor Xin had been unable to find the whereabouts of the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum.
Long Xuan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, Long Xuan used the first ability of the Book Gu and burrowed into the ground and disappeared right under Emperor Xin's nose.
"The ability to burrow into the earth?" Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Xin's pupils shrank and he revealed an extremely shocked expression.
Although the ability to travel underground is not incredibly powerful, it can easily find ancient tombs buried underground, as well as underground spirit stone veins and various precious metal veins.
If such capabilities were not severely restricted, the ancient tombs and various mineral veins underground would have been explored by the ancients long ago.
Therefore, the earth escape ability is restricted by the laws of nature and is classified as an ability that is envied by heaven in this world.
It's not that the ability of Tiandu cannot exist, it's just that it will only come into being under chance and coincidence, and it appears very rarely. At least it is difficult to encounter in the Gu world. I didn't expect that Long Xuan actually possessed such a rare ability.
With the ability of earth escape, the chance of finding the underground Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum will be greatly increased, and Emperor Xin smiled.
Long Xuan went straight to the place where the infinite progress was displayed. Since this ancient tomb was buried very deep, Long Xuan dived for a long time before he finally touched the stone door of the tomb.
Touching the ancient stone door at close range, Long Xuan closed his eyes and tried to use the original world to copy the ancient tomb. Soon he frowned slightly.
This ancient tomb was indeed not simple. Many places could not be replicated even in the original world. Even if they were replicated, it would be useless. The danger level of this level was definitely not something that a small Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator like him could get involved in.
Long Xuan simply explored the ancient tomb and quickly came to the conclusion that he and Emperor Xin would never be able to steal the Cangyue Imperial Tomb together.
If they want to get the Heavenly Spirit Tree, they will probably need a large number of Gu King cannon fodder to explore the way ahead, use the Gu King army to eliminate most of the dangers in the tomb, and the two of them will pick up the leaks behind the Gu King army.
This matter is also simple. As long as the news that there is an ancient tomb here is leaked, a large number of Gu Kings will naturally come and willingly explore the way.
Of course, the disadvantages of doing so are also obvious, that is, most of the treasures in the tomb will be divided up by the Gu Kings, and searching for treasures with a large number of Gu Kings is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which is a dangerous thing.
Long Xuan's eyes rolled around, and he finally gritted his teeth, deciding to choose the lesser of two evils. In his opinion, even if more Gu Kings entered the ancient tomb, it would still be much safer than him exploring the tomb alone.
After making up his mind, Long Xuan did not stop and fled upwards at the fastest speed.
After a while, Long Xuan flew out of the ground, looked at Emperor Xin and said straight to the point: "I found the location of the Cangyue Imperial Tomb, which is right below this pavilion."
"But after my investigation, it is impossible for the two of us to steal the Cangyue Emperor's Tomb."
"I plan to trick a group of Gu Kings into going in to explore the way for the two of us, but if we do this, we will have to share a lot less treasures. What do you think?"
Emperor Xin was surprised to hear that Long Xuan found the location of Cangyue Imperial Tomb so quickly. He secretly sighed that his earth escape ability was worthy of it, which made it convenient for him to find ancient tombs.
Upon learning the location of the Cang Yue Emperor's Mausoleum, Emperor Xin was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I never thought that the Cang Yue Emperor's Mausoleum, which I have been searching for for a long time, is actually right under my butt."
"If you weren't here today, I would have missed this opportunity."
"I agree with your proposal. Not to mention that the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum is not something that the two of us can rob, even if the two of us are 80% sure that we can rob this tomb, I will never take the risk."
"It is the safest way to trick a group of Gu Kings into going in and exploring the way for us. Even if we have to share a lot less treasures in the end, so what? I don't lack treasures at all. I don't need anything in the tomb. I just want the Heavenly Spirit Tree."
"Just follow your old method. After I have mastered the forbidden technique, you will put the location of the Cang Yue Imperial Mausoleum up for auction."
"In this way, not only can we trick many Gu Kings into the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum, but we can also make a fortune." Emperor Xin showed a sinister smile. (End of this chapter)
