Chapter 963
Gathering of Venerables
The two set off immediately the next morning.
After all, it is the tomb of a Martial Venerable. A tomb of this level will likely attract the chosen ones and powerful figures from super forces.
The Martial Venerable was the first Martial Venerable millions of years ago, a super existence who was said to be able to compete with the Immortal Emperor Realm. If one could obtain his inheritance, one would probably take off.
"Kid, it seems you have a lot of ideas about this Martial Venerable's Tomb."
Luo Jiuyang looked at Lin Xiao with a smile on his face.
"The competition for this Martial Venerable's Tomb will be fierce."
Lin Xiao did not respond to Luo Jiuyang's question, but instead asked indifferently.
Luo Jiuyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's not just big. I suspect that there might even be Immortal Venerable level experts going to the Martial Venerable Tomb this time. If Immortal Venerable level experts are going, then we can only pick up some scraps at the back."
Lin Xiao shook hands. Even the Immortal Venerable has to take action? There's really no way to handle this.
"Of course, Martial Venerable is an extremely domineering Venerable. I guess he might set up a barrier to prevent Venerable Realm and above experts from entering."
Luo Jiuyang suddenly smiled and said.
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, still feeling that something was amiss.
"That's not right either. Can't the other Immortal Venerables force their way in? Although the Martial Venerable is very strong, he has fallen after all. No matter how strong the barrier is, it shouldn't be able to stop the living Immortal Venerables."
"Hehe, you think the Martial Venerable is just a freeloader? He's the number one Martial Venerable in tens of millions of years. Of course, you're right. If a Celestial Venerable above the Profound Venerable level came, even the Martial Venerable's barrier probably wouldn't be able to stop him. However, if he forced his way in, he might destroy the entire Martial Venerable's tomb. Those Celestial Venerables wouldn't do that. After all, the Martial Venerable's tomb belongs to the resources of the entire Celestial Realm. If some Celestial Venerables dared to do that for their own selfish reasons, they would become the common enemy of the entire Celestial Realm."
Luo Jiuyang's words put Lin Xiao at ease.
As for the so-called Xuanzun, Lin Xiao has figured it out through his experience over the past hundred years.
Upon reaching the Immortal Venerable realm, there is a qualitative change. The nine Heavenly Tribulations no longer exist; instead, there are four stages of transformation: Spirit Profound Earth Heaven, Spirit Venerable Realm, Profound Venerable Realm, Earth Venerable Realm, and Heaven Venerable Realm. The Martial Venerable is the Heaven Venerable Realm.
However, this barrier only restricts Immortal Venerables; Immortal Emperors can still enter. Currently, Lin Xiao is only at the level of a Second Tribulation Immortal King. Although his combat power is formidable, it is still somewhat difficult for him to cross the level and fight an Immortal Emperor.
"Kid, your spatial magic is absolutely amazing. How about we team up, loot the place thoroughly, and then split the spoils?"
Lin Xiao smiled calmly, his face expressionless.
"Okay, you take the lion's share, but there's one thing I absolutely must have."
Lin Xiao and Luo Jiuyang have only known each other for a few years, which is a fleeting time for cultivators. Naturally, Lin Xiao does not completely trust Luo Jiuyang, but now he has no choice but to cooperate with him.
After all, Luo Jiuyang was a genuine Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor Realm expert.
The two of them used spatial jumps to travel for three days and three nights before finally arriving at the Martial Venerable's Tomb.
This Martial Venerable Tomb was completely different from what Lin Xiao had imagined; it was actually built in deep space, inside a giant wormhole.
The pressure released by this wormhole is so great that even a Golden Immortal would find it difficult to survive inside.
"As expected of the Martial Venerable, what a grand gesture! He actually turned such a huge wormhole into a tomb."
Luo Jiuyang rubbed his chin, marveling at the enormous black hole before him.
Lin Xiao was also greatly shocked by this scene. He only knew that the Immortal Venerable had immeasurable power, but he did not expect that the power was so strong.
The area around them was now packed with people, powerful figures from all over. "Golden Immortals are no better than dogs, and Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors are everywhere." This was the first time Lin Xiao had truly experienced the meaning of this saying.
This is the ninety-ninth heaven at the very center of the immortal realm. There are too many chosen ones and too many resources. Any resources you take away would be equivalent to the total resources of an entire universe.
"coming!"
Luo Jiuyang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking into the deep space.
Who's here?
Lin Xiao followed the gaze and sensed a terrifying aura shooting towards them. A moment later, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Star River Celestial Venerable!"
"Immortal Venerable?!"
"That's the Star River Celestial Venerable?!"
Everyone looked at the newcomer, a man dressed in brocade robes standing in the starry sky. His clothes were embroidered with star patterns, and he had a handsome appearance, sharp eyes, and an aura of heaven and earth in every gesture.
"This is Xinghe Tianzun, a powerful Spirit Venerable from the Zhou Clan of the Heavenly Race."
Luo Jiuyang explained to Lin Xiao in a low voice.
Zhou clan!
Lin Xiao's eyes sharpened. The Zhou clan disciples had captured Bing Han Shuang; he would not let them get away with it!
"Ok?"
Zhou He frowned slightly. He had just sensed a killing intent coming toward him, but it was very faint and weak.
"Star River, you arrived quickly, but do you even have a place in the Martial Venerable's tomb?!"
Soon, another figure appeared.
"It's Immortal Venerable Cangyue!"
A beautiful figure appeared in the Milky Way, stunningly beautiful, but her aloof gaze made people afraid to approach her or even look directly at her.
"This Immortal Venerable Cangyue is a powerful figure from the Jun Clan, and the Jun Clan and the Zhou Clan have always been irreconcilable enemies."
"Jun Cangyue, does your Jun clan also want to fight against our Zhou clan this time?"
"Heh, so what if we fight?"
"Don't forget what your Jun clan's Jun Mengyu did! She has wronged my elder brother!"
"Hmph, so what? My sister's affairs are none of your business. Also, tell Zhou Xuankong that my sister has never liked him. He's just indulging in wishful thinking. Furthermore, I've always suspected that your Zhou clan was responsible when my sister was severely injured and forced to descend to the mortal realm!"
"You fart!"
The two immediately engaged in a battle of wits.
The people around were just listening; no one dared to interrupt the two immortal venerables.
Lin Xiao looked at Luo Jiuyang.
Luo Jiuyang began explaining to Lin Xiao quite consciously.
"This happened a few hundred years ago. It is said that Jun Mengyu, the eldest daughter of the Jun family, was seriously injured during a training exercise and ended up in a mortal realm. I heard, and I only heard, that this eldest daughter of the Jun family eventually married an ant in the mortal realm and had children. Then she was brought back by the Jun family. I don't know anything else."
Lin Xiao clicked his tongue in amazement. It was truly astonishing that a celestial woman would marry a mortal and have children.
"Esteemed benefactors, instead of arguing about the past, let's look at the present!"
At this moment, another figure slowly appeared.
"It's him, Jianglong from Leiyin Temple!"
Luo Jiuyang looked at the bald man with great curiosity.
"Leiyin Temple?"
"The Thunderclap Temple isn't among the twenty-one major powers, but its strength is in no way inferior. It's just that they pride themselves on the equality of all beings and are ignorant of worldly affairs, so they're not included in the twenty-one major powers. I think they intend to transcend worldly affairs." (End of this chapter)
