Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 52 An Ancient Scripture

The ethereal voice appeared out of nowhere in Qi Zhe's mind, and the information contained within it made Qi Zhe frown.

The initial excitement of entering the tomb had faded. Qi Zhe surveyed the empty chamber and sighed, "Too late."

He didn't know what kind of wonders were hidden in this tomb, but since it was left behind by a holy being, it must be amazing. It was just a pity that it was empty now, perhaps it had been taken away a long time ago.

However, the other party also left a message, saying that future generations could receive his inheritance, but strangely, this person said that if one had a holy body, one could only receive the flawless method.

"Could this flawless method be the flawless secret technique of the Holy Body lineage?" Qi Zhe felt a strange sensation in his heart; the other party's actions were indeed quite profound.

"chichichi"

As Qi Zhe pondered, the golden Dao patterns that shimmered and intertwined on the tomb's rock walls suddenly solidified, transforming into a golden figure woven from Dao patterns amidst a series of strange sounds.

"The Sacred Body Scripture?!" As soon as the golden figure appeared, endless runes appeared around it, ancient yet divine. Qi Zhe was attracted by it at just one glance.

Then more and more of these words appeared in the air, eventually covering the entire tomb. There were more than 100,000 of them, and the whole text was about the cultivation methods of the five secret realms.

"The Sea of ​​Wheels Chapter, the Dao Palace Chapter, the Four Extremes Chapter—I'm in! All five great secret realms are here!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe could see clearly and recognize an entire supreme scripture, the profoundness of which surpassed even the Yao Guang scripture he had learned, and even gave him the feeling that it was comparable to the ancient scripture of the Demon Emperor.

Moreover, the person who left behind the legacy was a sacred being, and the scriptures revealed that person's spiritual attainment, as they contained understandings and conjectures about enlightenment, confirming that this was a genuine and supreme scripture.

When that person left behind the legacy, he had already achieved great mastery of the sacred body and was probably close to the point of enlightenment, just before the path to severance. Otherwise, he would never have had such insights and understanding.

The ancient scriptures he left behind are quite peculiar. They were not tailor-made for the Holy Body. This is because there were many Holy Body lineages in the Eastern Wilderness before him, and the Great Accomplishment Holy Body of the past had many ancient scriptures that could only be cultivated by the Holy Body.

Instead of following the old path of his predecessors, he left behind a true scripture that everyone can learn from.

Qi Zhe, having figured out these points, was overjoyed. Knowing that this scripture was a priceless treasure to him, he couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Thank goodness! The experts of the Holy Body lineage are indeed extraordinary!"

Qi Zhe then began to stare intently at the glittering golden runes, determined to memorize them all, and began to concentrate.

"buzzing"

But in less than a quarter of an hour, these runes floating in the air began to flicker, their brightness fluctuating, causing Qi Zhe, who was recording, to change his expression.

"Is it about to give up?" Qi Zhe guessed, speechless, and became even more serious, determined not to miss a single rune.

As Qi Zhe quickly memorized the entire scripture, it began to disappear one by one after appearing for a quarter of an hour, and even the little figure that manifested the scripture began to become illusory.

The endless golden light gradually dissipated, and Qi Zhe felt his vision gradually darken. At this moment, strange water droplets fell from above his head.

"Tick tock. Tick tock"

Water droplets fell onto the tomb floor with a sound. Qi Zhe opened his eyes wide and looked up. He saw a strange liquid dripping from a crack in the Taoist patterns that covered the tomb.

The golden light had concealed the crack, and no water droplets had fallen, so he hadn't noticed its existence.

"That shouldn't be!" Qi Zhe muttered, reaching out to catch the dripping liquid. After observing it for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

He thought there might be an accident, but when he actually caught the liquid, he was surprised. It looked like an ordinary water droplet, somewhat crystal clear, and upon closer inspection, there was nothing special about it.

However, Qi Zhe could also sense that this drop of water contained an astonishing life essence, far exceeding that of ordinary sources. "Could it be a treasure?" Qi Zhe thought for a moment and decided to collect it first, and then determine what it was and whether it was dangerous later.

To Qi Zhe's surprise, there wasn't much liquid; only about forty drops fell before the flow stopped, and he only managed to collect a little more than his thumb.

"That's it?" Qi Zhe was speechless, but then he suddenly noticed liquid dripping from the crack and was overjoyed.

But he was startled when he went to collect them. The dripping liquid was no longer a glistening droplet of water, but a drop of blood that smelled foul.

It was so red it was almost black and had an astonishingly foul stench. When it dripped, it caused the Dao patterns on the stone wall to react and begin to emit golden light.

Even without anyone reminding him, Qi Zhe knew something was wrong. He suddenly leaped and crashed into a section of the tomb's stone wall.

"boom"

With a loud bang, Qi Zhe passed through the dense Dao patterns on the stone wall and returned to the passage, where he saw Nangong Xin struggling to swim underwater.

He had just been abandoned by Qi Zhe and had been swimming alone in the long tunnel for a long time. If his injuries hadn't healed a lot, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on at the bottom of the sea.

"boom"

But before the two could make a further move, a loud bang erupted from inside the mountain, and a strange suction force emanated from within the mountain, causing a large amount of seawater to surge into the mountain, resulting in an astonishing backflow.

"Damn it!" Qi Zhe cursed under his breath. He had just rushed out and was about to be sucked back to who-knows-where again.

"Help me!!!" Nangong Xin was terrified upon seeing this. He no longer cared whether Qi Zhe had gained anything or not, and reached out to Qi Zhe, crying out in alarm.

Qi Zhe remained silent upon hearing this, then pulled the man directly to his side amidst the surging water, whispering, "Remember to repay kindness!"

Meanwhile, the two were already rushing through the mountainside with the surging seawater, and soon they landed in a maze of underground passages, heading in an unknown direction.

"It's over! There's some kind of hole drilled out of the mountain, and we might be heading straight for it!" Nangong Xin exclaimed in panic, recalling some ancient tomb legends.

The tombs in this world where powerful people are buried are often associated with all sorts of strange occurrences. The most famous of these are the ghosts and various yakshas, ​​which are the most troublesome things for tomb raiders. They often appear in groups of hordes.

The great tomb they are in now was left behind by a peerless figure, and if any strange changes occur, the beings within it will be absolutely astonishing.

"Not that bad."

Qi Zhe, however, remained quite calm. He knew that powerful figures had once set foot in this tomb, and even if a terrifying being had indeed been born there, it had been destroyed many years ago. Even the divine spirit he was worried about could not remain.

As they drifted, the passages inside the mountain grew dark, and the golden seawater gradually disappeared into the void.

At this moment, Qi Zhe and his companion had fallen into an extremely empty underground space, surrounded by hundreds of collapsed graves.

“This is the tomb chamber, perhaps the place where his relatives and friends once lived,” Qi Zhe said with a look of realization, then looked up at the ceiling.

The tomb chamber was tens of feet high, with a large interior space and numerous openings of varying sizes in the dome. The two people had just fallen out from one of them.

Thank you to all the brothers who voted for me during this time.

I haven't thanked you much before, but it's not too late to start today.
