The God of Heavens

Chapter 67: Tombs of Saints
After obtaining the consent of the two, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi turned into a stream of light and flew to the island. Her fairy light was brilliant and her jade body was hazy, like a fairy mist descending.

When the Saint came, the black lotus seemed to sense something, its petals trembled, the runes glowed brightly, and it bloomed with extraordinary brilliance and rich fragrance.

The Saint of Yaochi landed on the island, her toes touching the ground. Ripples spread, and the withered yellow weeds instantly turned green. She stretched out a delicate hand and slowly reached towards the magical black lotus, intending to pluck it.

However, the black lotus seemed to have a spirit, suddenly rising and dodging. At the same time, the lake surged, and the water columns soared into the sky, interweaving into a web. A bloody ghost face appeared and roared.

The saint remained calm and composed. A ray of fairy light condensed into rotating petals. She waved her jade hand, and a small cyan-gold tower rose up, shaking the void. The water network immediately became unstable, and the fairy light petals rushed straight up towards the ghost face.

"Crack!"

The water net shattered, and the ghost face dissipated. The Saint of Yaochi took the opportunity to pluck the black lotus. The heaven and earth shook, the dark space cracked, and golden light shone. The black lotus shone dazzlingly, and the runes seemed to be about to break off the petals and fly into the sky.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi took out a small jade tripod, carefully sealed the black lotus, and then returned gracefully.

Leaving the Blood Lake, they continued on their journey, encountering several attacks from ghost soldiers along the way, but they were all suppressed by the combined efforts of several people until a huge stone gate appeared before them.

There are various strange patterns carved on the stone gate, including six wonders, ascension to heaven, flying cranes, and the heavenly palace.

"Open this door, behind it should be the tomb of the ancient sages." Duan De said in a low voice with a serious expression.

The door was tightly closed, without a single gap. Countless patterns were engraved on it, giving it an ancient and timeless feel.

The three of them came to the stone gate and pushed it open with their divine power.

Following a dull roar, the stone door slowly opened, and an even thicker aura of the underworld rushed towards them.

As you step into this place, you will feel a gloomy atmosphere all around. This place that has been covered by dust for a long time finally welcomes new guests.

"The ancient sages once again opened up a small world behind the stone gate and placed their own tombs in it."

When Duan De walked in, his expression immediately changed from gloomy to bright.

Lin Yu said in a deep voice: "The six Yin Rivers outside also converge here. Six types of terrain similar to the 'Ten Thousand Yin Gathering Spirit Abyss' are intertwined here, nourishing the corpses of ancient sages."

They gazed into the distance. Six lunar rivers converged in a mysterious trajectory, forming a vast lunar vortex at the center of the world, shaped like a vast wheel of reincarnation. Deep within the vortex, a faint light flickered, seemingly connecting to the underworld.

Looking up, in the center of the vortex, a magnificent mausoleum stands quietly.

"The ancient sages truly participated in the creation of nature. They bound the Yin River, looked forward to the afterlife, and created the heavens and the earth to serve as their tombs."

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi sighed. She had an ethereal appearance and was surrounded by fairy light. Her voice was ethereal and full of awe for the ancient sages.

The realm of a saint is extraordinary and otherworldly. A strand of hair can collapse a mountain, a drop of blood can kill a powerful person, picking stars and taking the moon is a piece of cake, and he can even open up a small world. He is just like a god walking on earth.

"The Taiyin energy in the Yin River is so rich that it should be able to extract a lot of Taiyin True Water. Normally, if a cultivator can get a small gourd of water, it will be regarded as a treasure. How much True Water can be extracted from these six Taiyin Rivers!"

Duan De's eyes turned red, and he suggested that since no one would disturb them here, they should first refine the Taiyin True Water and then explore the tombs of the sages.

Lin Yu happened to use the water of Yin River to awaken the giant elephant particles again, so he agreed with Duan De's suggestion that the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was not a bad idea.

Everyone dispersed, and Lin Yu found a place near the Yin River and began to refine the origin of life.

As endless water of the moon entered the furnace of hell and was smelted by the holy fire, clusters of crystal-clear life origins appeared. As their luster flowed, they exuded a faint rhythm of life. They were flawless jade, warm as water, smart and beautiful.

A Taiyin River was open for Lin Yu to draw from, and the endless source of life poured down. The giant elephant particles in Lin Yu's body began to germinate, and many particles roared and screamed one after another, as if a group of ancient giant elephants were awakened.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Particles in his body awakened one by one. This time, the number of awakened particles was frightening. Inside his body, all twenty-three particles awakened, making his strength reach the terrifying number of one hundred and five ancient elephants.

With so much power from the giant elephant added to his body, his body was greatly strengthened at that moment. His skin, blood vessels, Dantian, meridians, internal organs were all extremely tough.

Lin Yu was confident that if he encountered the same enemy as the ghost general again, he would be able to suppress it without the help of the Hell Furnace. As for the Holy Lord, he would have to fight him to find out.

After Lin Yu got familiar with his rapidly increasing physical fitness, he found Duan De and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, and prepared to enter the tomb of the sage to explore.

This mausoleum, constructed from massive black stone and netherworld iron, was densely covered with Dao patterns. It stood at the center of the world, its summit piercing the heavens like a pillar supporting the heavens. Above it, the sun, moon, and stars orbited, all refined from real stars.

"go!"

Lin Yu took the lead and flew towards the mausoleum. The hell furnace hung above his head, twisting the void and protecting everyone. The others also turned into streams of light and followed closely behind.

"Wow!"

The Yin River churned, and a gigantic tentacle rose from the river, hundreds of feet long. Its scales were thick, and a gaping maw yawned at its tip, with countless fangs arranged in a staggered pattern, biting down fiercely on everyone.

"Be careful, this is a Yin beast from the Yin River, placed here by ancient sages to guard the tomb." The Saint of Yao Chi reminded, and she took out her weapon to prepare to fight the enemy.

"It's okay, don't worry about it!"

Lin Yu shook his head, and the Hell Furnace shook. The tentacles hit it, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without causing a ripple.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The Yin River was boiling, and countless tentacles rose up, opening their bloody mouths like a giant net, entangling and trying to pull everyone into the river.

Several Yao Chi disciples suddenly turned pale, and Duan De also turned pale. He asked, "Little brother, are you sure you're okay?"

"boom!"

It was like a sun appeared in the dark sky, with infinite holy light blooming, holy fire blazing, tentacles ignited, and torches appeared on the dark river.

The holy light surged, and all the tentacles avoided snakes and scorpions, making way for Lin Yu.

"These Yin Beasts have not been tamed for tens of thousands of years. Now their bestiality has taken over, and they will instinctively flee when they encounter their natural enemies."

Duan De saw this scene and made a judgment, saying: "It seems that the ancient sages have really failed."

"No one in the world is immortal. Even the emperor has a lifespan of only ten thousand years. The ancient sages hoped that their bodies would become spirits and live again. It seems that this is just an unrealistic fantasy after all." The Saintess of Yaochi sighed.

Haha, that's not necessarily true Lin Yu thought to himself, isn't there one around you who has transformed his body into a spirit?

The crowd crossed the Yin River, came to the foot of the mausoleum, and stepped onto the stone steps in front of the mausoleum.

The entire mausoleum was originally a seamless whole without a single gap, and it was also arranged with countless patterns to form an impeccable formation.

Unfortunately, time is merciless. After a long time, the boulder has become mottled, the divine iron has decayed, and the Taoist patterns have also shown cracks.

Lin Yu and Duan De are both proficient in formations, and they work together to deduce a way to break it.

Although the Dao patterns set by the sages were extensive and profound, the two relied on their profound attainments and spent a lot of effort. After three days, they finally opened a passage into the mausoleum.
