The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 553 The Tomb of the Great Luo
"We still have 50 billion units of available spiritual energy. Of these, we must reserve 15 billion units for Frost Lord to facilitate her awakening."

Wang Wu was calculating his inventory.

Previously, he had gathered 500 billion points of spiritual energy to undermine Tian Shu Lao Deng and fleece him.

However, after the self-destruction, most of this spiritual energy was used for healing and self-regeneration.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived.

In fact, he is currently the only survivor.

It's been so long, and we haven't even seen a single one of the heavenly soldiers and generals under the command of those Great Luo Immortals. This place has likely become a forbidden zone.

"I have to go."

Wang Wu looked around reluctantly. The environment here was indeed quite stable, but staying here would only mean waiting to die.

A lifespan of over 70,000 years sounds like a lot, but in reality, it passes in the blink of an eye.

He needs to find a place with a relatively better environment to heal his deeper and more subtle injuries first, and finally extend his lifespan.

He currently has approximately 180,000 years of lifespan temporarily sealed.

In short, Wang Wu no longer had any intention of proving himself to the Great Luo realm. He was content to remain a half-step Great Luo, gain a lifespan of over a million years, and just drift through life.

Next, he chose a huge and relatively stable spatial rift and climbed over it. This felt much better; at least it was no longer that strange chewing and tearing sensation. He estimated that even ordinary cultivators could withstand it.

"Huh? This place is nice."

Once he passed through the spatial rift, he found himself in a completely new area, or perhaps a new little world, which was better and more stable than the space he had been in before.

After traversing so many chaotic spatial rifts, the current environment in the area truly brought tears to his eyes; it had been far too difficult.

Moreover, the chaotic yin and yang energies here are clearer than before. Wang Wu felt that if he cultivated here, well, it still wouldn't work. He would still become a heretical cultivator.

But this place can serve as a place to stay.

Within this area, there are still spatial rifts, but they are all stable now. After observing for a long time, Wang Wu guessed that there must be a medium in front of him that stabilizes the space.

Of course, there could be other reasons as well.

After lingering in this area for a while, Wang Wu once again chose the most stable spatial rift to traverse.

This time it was clearly different. Because this spatial rift didn't look big, but it was actually very long. No, that's not how you describe it. It was more like a transition from instability to stability, a feeling caused by the larger and more stable space on the other side.

Sure enough, when Wang Wu passed through the spatial rift, what he saw was a gray, gloomy place. Although it looked eerie, the problem was that it was quite stable, because apart from the spatial rift behind him, there were no other spatial rifts to be seen.

Also, does this appear to be a complex of buildings?

Wang Wu gazed into the distance and saw rows of buildings, resembling grand halls, standing in the hazy light, exuding an aura of decay.

For some reason, his first impression was of a cemetery, a very ancient and distant cemetery.

It's a bit strange. The reason why those stable spatial rifts outside are stable is because of this ancient tomb, right?
In other words, if it weren't for Tian Shu Lao Deng's self-destruction, this ancient tomb would probably never have seen the light of day again, and who knows how many terrifying immortal array restrictions would have remained around it.

Wang Wu dared not be careless and stood there for a long time until he was sure there was no danger before he stepped out.

As soon as he took a step, the atmosphere in the ancient tomb underwent a series of subtle changes.

As a ripple spread out, it instantly triggered a series of immortal array restrictions, followed by terrifying sword energies falling like they were free, startling Wang Wu so much that he turned around and dived back into the spatial rift.

Even so, he was still a step too slow, and his back was injured by three sword energies. The terrifying sword energies broke through the three sequences, rampaging wildly, and almost took half of Wang Wu's life.

However, he was not surprised but rather delighted.

Because this terrifying sword energy is very pure, it is based on the correct Yin and Yang energies, even though it is so sharp and terrifying!
While enduring the sword energy continuously inflicting new damage on his immortal body, Wang Wu immediately absorbed the chaotic spiritual energy within this area. Yes, it wasn't that there was no spiritual energy, but rather that it was all chaotic. Such spiritual energy was equivalent to deadly poison; anyone who dared to absorb it and cultivate it would become some kind of evil cultivator.

But now this problem has been easily solved.

After Wang Wu absorbed this chaotic spiritual energy, it immediately collided with the terrifying sword energy that resembled the radiant and righteous Dao of Heaven, resulting in a love-hate relationship.

At first, no amount of chaotic spiritual energy was enough to annihilate and destroy it with that terrifying sword energy.

However, as the amount of chaotic spiritual energy increased, the terrifying sword energy finally became a case of being unable to fight against overwhelming odds.

At this point, Wang Wu began to reap the benefits.

Feeling that the terrifying sword energy had gained the upper hand, he quickly absorbed some of the chaotic spiritual energy.

If you feel there's too much chaotic spiritual energy, stop immediately. Occasionally, you should also assist with terrifying sword energy.

It gives the impression of adding flour when there's too much water, and adding water when there's too much flour.

After much back and forth, when the terrifying sword energy finally dissipated, Wang Wu successfully obtained 5 billion points of purified spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

I'm so happy!
After deducting the cost of 2 billion points of spiritual energy needed for healing, he still made a net profit of 3 billion.

At the same time, we have also gained a more stable and clearer regional environment.

Yes, it is difficult for chaotic spiritual energy to circulate in large quantities through spatial rifts.

His actions just now eliminated 50% of the chaotic spiritual energy in this area. It would be strange if the environment didn't improve.

This time, Wang Wu was even able to breathe deeply and perform regular cultivation with ease.

He could even sense the outline of space and the passage of time here.

This is good news – external interference is decreasing and his sense of direction is recovering.

At this point, he could even heal his wounds without restraint.

Even though the injuries caused by that terrifying sword energy were extremely ferocious and horrific, the sense of clarity that it brought—a feeling of cleansing the universe and clear skies—still filled him with joy.

It's truly a bittersweet experience.

In this state, even the most severe injuries are not a problem.

In just nine days, Wang Wu fully recovered from his injuries, and even some of his previous fundamental injuries were healed, making him even better than before.

How could he not be grateful for that terrifying sword energy?
This sword energy is too sharp, killing him is like slaughtering a dog. Could it be that it was left behind by the Great Luo's subordinates?

But that deathly aura can't be faked, unless this is the tomb of the Great Luo?
Wang Wu had many doubts, but he couldn't resist the irresistible allure.

So he turned around and went back into the spatial rift. Once inside, he found himself in the same gray, deathly place, with palaces standing there eerily, as if they were hiding countless eyes secretly watching him.

It also seemed to harbor immense terror, and anyone who dared to disturb it would surely die.

Mmm, it smells so good.

Wang Wu first took precautions, then took another small step forward. Almost simultaneously, he turned around in a flash and, with a standard escape maneuver, darted into the spatial rift.

His speed was undeniably fast, but even so, he was still overtaken by three terrifying sword energies. If he had been even slightly slower, he felt he would have been left behind.

That's terrifying, like a dimensional reduction attack.
