The God of Heavens

Chapter 143 The Immortal Burial Ground

This ancient and desolate realm is pristine and boundless, brimming with spiritual energy several times denser than the outside world. Ancient and exotic creatures roam freely within it, each exuding a terrifying and ferocious aura.

This small world spans eighty thousand miles and was originally the Daoist temple of the Immortal Emperor. He once shed a piece of five-colored human skin here, which was later seized by the Supreme Emperor. However, the Immortal Emperor was ultimately one step ahead, and the Supreme Emperor ended up dying and his Dao dissipated.

The Immortal Burial Grounds are about 30,000 miles from the exit of the Qishi Mansion. Although not yet at its deepest point, it is already fraught with danger. Swamps, lakes, sheer cliffs, and abysses surround it, and every step forward could lead to fatal peril. The ancient and exotic creatures that inhabit this place are all terrifyingly powerful.

Lin Yu ignored them and strolled on. After casually killing several beast kings who occupied the area, he finally arrived at a place filled with spiritual energy.

Before me stretched endless, boundless immortal cliffs, shrouded in rising purple mist. Though sparsely vegetated, none were ordinary—only orchids and dragon herbs, along with wondrous trees and vines. Ancient medicinal herbs blossomed on the cliff faces, and divine vines entwined before the ancient caves, bearing crystalline, exotic fruits. Amidst the swirling purple mist, the Daoist essence was naturally present.

Lin Yu focused his mind and activated the Origin Heaven Divine Technique. This immortal cliff indeed resembled a reclining immortal, stretching across the heavens and earth. Upon closer inspection, the "immortal" was not asleep, but rather seemed to be imprisoned here by invisible shackles, his life extinguished.

"A true burial ground for immortals," he murmured, Dao patterns flickering in his eyes.

Lin Yu gently patted the black tiger's head; this ancient and ferocious beast, which had been so fierce just moments before, was now as docile as a cat.

"Go." He casually tossed out a wisp of primordial essence, which the black tiger seized as if it were a treasure. After catching it, it growled and kowtowed three times before turning into a black wind and disappearing among the mountains.

After walking for about ten miles, a majestic cliff loomed ahead. The stone wall was mottled and covered with blurry marks. Birds, beasts, fish, insects and ancient patterns were intertwined. Some patterns had long been weathered and were difficult to discern, but they faintly revealed a natural and auspicious spirit.

"The True Diagram of the Great Dao?"

Lin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Origin Heaven Divine Technique, causing the entire stone wall to tremble violently. He managed to peel it off from the mountain and transform it into an ancient stone carving scroll, which he then pocketed.

"boom--"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently in the distance, the entire mountain range surged like a raging sea, rocks crumbled and boulders flew into the sky.

Three hundred and sixty-five stone mountains collapsed one after another, terrifying energy fluctuations swept in all directions, and the void trembled violently like a shattered painting. When the smoke and dust cleared, that area had been completely reduced to ruins, with only chaotic energy remaining.

"Buzz!"

Above this desolate land, an ancient mountain slowly rises from the ground, like the bright moon emerging from the sea, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Though not towering into the clouds, it stands majestic and imposing, like the most revered of all mountains, suppressing the eight directions. At the base of the mountain, a pair of enormous stone gates are tightly closed, upon which are engraved two powerful characters in ancient divine script—Immortal Abode!
The sacred mountain was surrounded by ethereal mists, with phoenixes soaring about and a refreshing fragrance wafting through the air. The stone gate, about eight zhang high, was perfectly sealed, its surface dry and clean, as if sealed for eternity.

Lin Yu stepped forward, placed his hands on the stone gate, and his divine power surged.

"Boom!"

The stone door trembled and slowly opened, releasing a vast and ancient aura. Without hesitation, he stepped inside, his figure disappearing into the chaotic mist behind the door.

As Lin Yu stepped into the immortal abode, the scene before him changed abruptly. What appeared to be an ordinary cave dwelling from the outside was actually a vast and boundless world within itself.

Facing them was a medicinal field built of five-colored divine jade, with fertile black soil and six ancient medicinal kings exhaling immortal mist, shimmering with colorful light.

"The Medicine King of 80,000 Years."

Lin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly. Although these ancient herbs were not immortal medicines, each one could extend one's lifespan by four hundred years. The six herbs together were almost equivalent to half an immortal medicine.

Even more alarming, dozens of rotten marks remained on the edge of the medicinal field—the traces of the withered herbs from past generations of herb kings. Clearly, these six plants were merely the offspring of an unknown generation over countless years.

The six medicinal plants are of different varieties. Some bloom with dreamy seven-colored flowers with petals as translucent as jade; others bear agate-like fruits with a rich and intoxicating fragrance.

"boom!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Yu uprooted the earth's veins within a thousand miles, storing them all within his divine weapon. The six king herbs, the five-colored jade field, and even the Earth Milk Spring were all completely collected.

After passing through the first level of the cave, Lin Yu arrived at the depths. A dozen or so bronze fragments floated silently, emanating an ancient aura, their luster dim.

This is a bronze bell. Although it is broken, its spirit remains despite its cracked form. The patterns of heaven and earth that were conceived within it are still there, and there are even sleeping "deities" lurking inside.

The divine spirits of sacred weapons are indestructible; this bronze bell far surpasses other incomplete sacred weapons and can unleash unparalleled divine power.

As long as the gods exist, the sacred weapons will endure forever.

"Boom!"

When Lin Yu took the fragment into his hand, holy light suddenly shone, and a bronze bell covered with cracks appeared in his palm.

The slumbering deity within the bell trembled slightly, causing the entire cave to resonate. With Lin Yu's abilities, repairing this bell would be a piece of cake; even a powerful immortal of the second rank could repair it if the materials were plentiful.

Continuing onward, a vast, azure lake stretches before you, with a jade staircase leading straight to the heavens in its center. And amidst the endless waves, a small boat floats quietly.

The figure in a straw raincoat and bamboo hat stood on the boat, a bamboo pole lightly touching the water's surface; it was none other than the divine thought of the Immortal Emperor!
Lin Yu summoned the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron, its imperial might overwhelming. The figure vanished like smoke, leaving only ripples.

"I'll spare your life for now."

Lin Yu snorted coldly and stepped onto the heavenly ladder, soaring straight into the ninth heaven. A vast expanse opened up before him—this was an ancient world where all things were just beginning to emerge!

Spiritual energy cascaded down like a waterfall, condensing into liquid in the air. The area was lush with vegetation and medicinal herbs, and one could even witness the formation of a pure source.

Ancient trees, tens of thousands of years old, stand tall, yet they cannot take form due to the suppression of mysterious array patterns.

Beside the pools where spiritual energy condenses, exotic species and rare spiritual herbs coexist and grow together, and occasionally, fist-sized pools of divine source liquid shimmer with divine light.

This realm within a realm perfectly preserves the ancient rules of heaven and earth, greatly benefiting those with special physiques in their cultivation. "Croak—"

A resounding cry that pierced through the sky and split rocks echoed through the heavens, followed by a dazzling golden light that streaked across the sky.

The three-legged golden crow spread its wings and soared, its entire body as if cast in gold. When its wings were spread, divine flames surged into the sky, burning and distorting half of the heavens.

This ancient, ferocious bird dwells atop a towering fiery tree. The ancient tree soars into the clouds, its entire body a pale gold, with flames surging as its leaves sway, and heat waves sweeping in all directions.

Although it is not the true Fusang Divine Tree, it is still a rare Fire Tree King, and ordinary cultivators who approach it will be burned to ashes.

"boom!"

Lin Yu arrived through the air, his imposing aura as vast as the ocean. The three-legged golden crow's golden feathers stood on end, and in an instant, it transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance, abandoning even the three divine eggs in its nest.

The eggshell was crystal clear, containing a fiery spirit, and the outline of a fledgling bird could be vaguely seen inside.

"You're quite alert," Lin Yu chuckled. He still wanted to try the Golden Crow Feast again.

However, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. As long as this Golden Crow remains in this small world, it will eventually end up in Lin Yu's pot.

His gaze turned to the treasures in the bird's nest. Inside the nest were many items collected by the golden crow, such as divine stones and precious jade. The two most unusual items were the most unique.

One is an arm bone, extremely ancient, flowing with a pale golden light, containing immense power.

These are the remains of a sage after he attained enlightenment. They are the strongest part of his body, and even after his enlightenment, they have not been erased and have been preserved to this day, remaining incorruptible.

It is truly a rare divine object, an excellent material for forging divine weapons.

Lin Yu then took out a piece of rotten copper from the crack in the crow's nest. It was old and mottled with green rust.

This is Immortal Tear Green Gold material, but unfortunately it lacks the protection of the Great Emperor's array pattern and has already decayed.

On the green copper sheet, the rust could not conceal the engravings, densely packed with small characters, like a celestial book, flowing with Taoist charm, as fiery as fire.

This page, written in bronze, contains the True Scripture of the Sun. Lin Yu already possessed this scripture, so he naturally did not need it and simply put it away.

Lin Yu continued deeper into the dry cliff cave. The cave walls, deep within the earth's veins, were inlaid with countless source blocks, illuminating the dark passageway with a dazzling light.

Several jet-black demon apes bared their teeth and pounced, only to be crushed into a bloody mist by the chaotic energy emanating from his sleeves.

“Clatter—”

Suddenly, the sound of iron chains rattling came from ahead, deep and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine. Lin Yu remained calm and continued forward.

After rounding the last bend, a breathtaking view suddenly appeared before us: a vast, pitch-black river stretched out before us. Its surface was calm and still, yet its darkness was chilling, as if it could devour even the soul.

This great black river is formed from the legendary Taiyin True Water, extremely cold and yin. Even a single drop would instantly freeze and shatter the soul of an ordinary cultivator. Lin Yu was no stranger to this substance, as his Emperor's Essence required Taiyin True Water as a catalyst.

A rusty iron chain, black as ink, stretches across the river, its surface gleaming with a chilling light.

Dozens of ancient corpses were wrapped around the iron chains, dressed in various styles. Some wore ancient robes of the Feathered God Dynasty, some wore armor of the Central Plains Dynasty, and even a few wore the robes of the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land.

The corpses had a pale green glow flickering in their eye sockets. Under the special force field of the iron chains, their bodies did not decompose, as if they were merely in a deep sleep.

Lin Yu recognized at a glance that this iron chain was forged from the legendary treasure—Soul-Soothing Iron, which naturally attracts corpses and can preserve them from decay for ten thousand years. These corpses were clearly powerful figures who had entered this place in later generations and ultimately perished here, becoming yet another soul on the iron chain.

"despair……"

Suddenly, a white bone boat silently glided to the shore. This bone boat was made entirely of thousands of snow-white skulls, each skull's eye socket flickering with eerie green flames, sending chills down one's spine.

Lin Yu remained calm as he stepped onto the bone boat. The boat sank slightly, then moved on its own without any wind, slowly heading towards the opposite shore.

After crossing the Taiyin True Water, the scene before them suddenly changed—tens of thousands of giant dragons formed from celestial energy coiled in the sky, their roars deafening.

Amidst the five-colored glow, a majestic jade platform stands between heaven and earth, entirely constructed of five-colored divine jade. Shaped like a pyramid, it has no spire, and its top is as flat as a mirror.

The jade platform is ten thousand feet high, and each step is filled with chaotic energy. Dragons leap and phoenixes soar, and the immortal scenes transformed by Dao patterns are lifelike.

At the summit of Jade Platform, an ancient coffin floated on the ground, exuding a rich aura of supreme power that brought a sense of tranquility to all. The overwhelming imperial aura seemed poised to crush the ages!

Lin Yu summoned the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron to resist the extreme aura of this place.

Ascending the towering jade platform, one encounters dragons leaping and phoenixes soaring, surrounded by chaos—a scene of celestial spirits transformed from Daoist patterns on the jade steps.

The Azure Dragon and Divine Phoenix are incredibly lifelike, numbering in the tens of thousands, and are formed from celestial energy, adding a mysterious aura to the Five-Colored Jade Platform.

The ancient coffin floated in the void, surrounded by thousands of lifelike dragons and phoenixes formed from celestial energy.

The ancient coffin was full of life and vitality, even more so than the life force of the people present.

Lin Yu stepped forward and discovered that a branch more than a meter long had grown from the coffin lid. It was lush and green, with several leaves on it, and the abundant energy it emitted was from the branch.

On the other side of the platform, five-colored rays of light flowed, and a block of solid ice, which had existed for countless years, sealed within an ancient corpse!
