Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 468 The Sacred Mountain Tomb
Xu Feng's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and his small eyes sparkled with light.

For some reason, the thought of robbing a tomb made me feel uneasy.

Looking at his greedy and greedy appearance, Li Zhen couldn't help but complain:
"You're acting all mysterious. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to invite a god, not to steal something."

"Oh, you don't understand this!"

Xu Feng carefully put away the three ancestral copper coins, a look on his face that said, "You don't know anything about this."

"In our line of work, we value 'favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships'."

"This eternal sacred mountain is the place of destiny of the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom. Its aura is so strong that it is beyond comprehension."

“In a place like this, forcing your way in is the worst possible strategy. The only way is to follow its ‘qi’ and find the ‘gate of life’ so that you can slip in silently without disturbing the ‘ghosts’…that is, the owner of this place!”

After saying that, he ignored Li Zhen and took out an even more professional magic weapon from his storage bag.

A compass about the size of a palm, made entirely of an unknown bronze.

The compass was not an ordinary directional pointer, but was covered with densely packed runes. In the center, a thin, golden pointer was trembling slightly, as if sensing something.

"The Dragon-Seeking Compass, open!"

Xu Feng gave a low shout and injected a wisp of spiritual power into it.

In an instant, all the runes on the compass lit up, and the golden pointer began to spin wildly, finally pointing to a seemingly ordinary dense forest to the left front with a "hum".

"Found it! The air vent is in that direction!"

Xu Feng lowered his voice, but his eyes shone with an alarming light. "Come with me."

Lin Chen and Li Zhen exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

Although they are powerful, they are complete novices when it comes to this kind of thing.

Although Li Zhen had doubts, he respected him from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, believed that everyone has their own expertise, and Xu Feng was ten thousand years ahead of them in that area.

The three set off immediately, with Xu Feng leading the way with the Dragon-Seeking Compass in hand.

The closer one gets to the Eternal Sacred Mountain, the heavier the invisible pressure becomes.

It wasn't just a simple pressure of energy, but a profound sense of weight originating from the very nature of this world.

The first line of defense is ahead. Although the outer saints are not very strong, they are like a flock of jungle birds. If one of them is disturbed, it will become a bird startled by the twang of a bow, and then all the birds in the forest will be awakened.

Therefore, Xu Feng planned to use his mountain-drilling beast to drill into the cave.

Xu Feng summoned his spirit beast, gave it a few instructions, and then the mountain-drilling beast began to act.

At this moment, Li Zhen asked curiously, "Being able to burrow is useless; there are many information-generating spirit beasts here. When you dig, you'll definitely make noise."

Lin Chen was also puzzled.

Xu Feng couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

But then Xu Feng chuckled and said with considerable pride:
"That's what makes my spirit beast unique. It's not an ordinary spirit beast; when it's working, it can isolate itself from all information interference."

"How is that possible?" Li Zhen didn't believe it.

This was the first time Lin Chen had ever heard of such a bizarre skill.

But soon, the drilling beast proved his point; when it dug its burrow, no sound could be heard from the outside.

"The reputation of this family of tomb raiders is well-deserved," Li Zhen exclaimed in shock.

"No, it's a family of archaeologists," Xu Feng corrected earnestly.

The tunnel dug by the mountain-drilling beast was quick, and it soon came to an end. Li Zhen then said, "I'll go up and take a look."

In terms of individual strength, Li Zhen is definitely the strongest.

If danger is encountered, it can be dealt with immediately.

Soon after, they heard Li Zhen's voice calling them, and Lin Chen and Xu Feng followed him up.

Upon going outside, I found myself in a dense forest.

"Damn it, we can't find our way," Li Zhen said.

The visibility here is terrible; to find the right direction, you'd have to fly.

But once it takes flight, it will inevitably be easily detected.

Because the sacred mountain has rules, even those who are allowed to enter are not permitted to fly.

Xu Feng stopped in front of a huge ancient tree that required three people to encircle.

He circled the ancient tree three times, sometimes tapping the trunk with his fingers, sometimes bending down to observe the texture of the soil, all while muttering to himself.

"Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger, Front Vermilion Bird, Back Black Tortoise... The sunny side of the mountain, the shady side of the water, this is the 'Xun' position, the location of the Gate of Life... That's right!"

He clapped his hands suddenly, pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out some silver powder that emitted a strange fragrance, and carefully drew a complex rune on a specific spot on the tree trunk.

"This is 'Barrier-Breaking Powder,' made from ninety-nine kinds of spiritual herbs containing spatial power, a closely guarded secret of our Xu family!" Xu Feng explained proudly, "It's specifically designed to deal with these naturally formed spatial barriers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver runes seemed to be activated and suddenly lit up!

The incredibly hard trunk of the ancient tree rippled outwards like waves on water.

A swirling portal, emitting a faint glow, slowly emerged!
"It's done! Fast forward!"

Xu Feng gave a low shout and was the first to duck and squeeze inside.

Lin Chen and Li Zhen followed closely behind.

The moment I stepped through the portal, a dizzying sensation washed over me.

The next second, the scene before my eyes suddenly opened up!
They are already inside the holy mountain!

Unlike the desolation outside, this place is filled with ancient trees reaching for the sky, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it almost turns into a tangible white mist that flows slowly through the forest.

The air was filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance, and rare herbs that had long since disappeared from the outside world could be seen everywhere.

However, in this fairyland-like environment, there is an eerie sense of oppression everywhere.

The sky was gray and gloomy, devoid of sun, moon, and stars. The surroundings were eerily quiet; not even a bird's call or an insect's chirp could be heard.

Lin Chen and Li Zhen were greatly surprised; they hadn't realized they had already fallen into a trap.

In front of Xu Feng, the two of them really looked like greenhorns.

"This is the outer area of ​​the Holy Mountain." Xu Feng lowered his voice, his expression extremely vigilant:

"Don't be fooled by what you see. This is the most heavily guarded area. There's a team of Holy Guards patrolling every hundred meters, and there are also 'Netherhounds' specifically tasked with sniffing out our presence. We must get through here and into the second area within half an hour!"

The three of them concealed their auras and, like three ghosts, silently moved through the dense forest under Xu Feng's guidance.

Xu Feng's professional skills as a tomb raider were on full display at this moment.

He would sometimes stop to listen to the wind, and sometimes grab a handful of soil to sniff it. He could always accurately predict the patrol team's movements and lead Lin Chen and Li Zhen through the gaps in the defense with perfect precision.

Xu Feng told Lin Chen and the others that this sacred mountain was designed according to the model of a great tomb, and only the Pope knew the correct path.

As their progress accelerated, they unexpectedly made a mistake.

Just as they were about to reach the cliff face where the first and second levels met, a sharp screech suddenly came from behind them!

"There is an intruder!"

With a loud shout, seven or eight figures clad in crimson-gold heavy armor, urging their wolf-like "Netherhounds" to leap out of the forest and surround them!

The squad leader, his eyes like lightning, fixed intently on them: "Who are you?! How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the sacred mountain!" Xu Feng's heart tightened, and he was about to make up some excuses when Li Zhen had already lost his patience.

"It's noisy."

He uttered three words calmly, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant!
Before the Holy Guards could even react, a crimson afterimage flashed past them like a ghost!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull thuds rang out, so fast they were almost continuous!
Those powerful elite Holy Guards didn't even have time to utter a sound before their eyes rolled back, and they all collapsed to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.

The hounds beneath them were so terrified by the fleeting phoenix divine power emanating from Li Zhen that they prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, and eventually all fainted.

The whole process took less than two breaths!
Xu Feng stared in disbelief at the scene and swallowed hard.

Violence!

Too violent!

It's so much more enjoyable to explore tombs with a skilled partner.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng looked at Li Zhen and said, "Senior, we can actually form an archaeological golden triangle; it has great potential."

"Let's go, don't waste time." Li Zhen rolled his eyes, showing absolutely no interest in his grand plans.

The three of them did not linger and quickly arrived at the mountain wall.

This place is also shrouded in an invisible energy barrier.

Xu Feng used the same trick again, employing the Dragon-Seeking Compass and the Barrier-Breaking Powder to successfully open a portal to the second level area once more.

……

Meanwhile, several kilometers away, on the outer perimeter of the sacred mountain.

The pilgrimage ceremony has reached its climax!
Millions of believers knelt in the square below the mountain peak, their faces filled with fervor and reverence, chanting the Pope's name, their voices merging together and soaring into the sky.

At the end of the square, on the enormous altar carved from a single piece of golden divine rock.

The newly ordained Holy Son Bach, dressed in a magnificent robe embroidered with gold, knelt in the center of the altar, his heart pounding with emotion.

A figure stood before him.

He was an elderly man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old. He wore a seemingly simple white robe and a crown that symbolized supreme authority.

He didn't deliberately exude any powerful aura, but simply stood there quietly, as if he were the center of this world, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around him.

He is the supreme leader of the A-tuo religion—the Pope!
The Pope's gaze was calm and profound. He slowly raised his hand, and the deafening cheers in the square came to an abrupt halt!

The whole world seemed to have been muted at that moment.

He turned his gaze to Bach, who was kneeling before him, trembling with excitement, and spoke slowly in a gentle yet supremely authoritative voice.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present:

"bach."

"Disciple is here!" Bach responded loudly with all his might, his voice filled with excitement.

"Lift your head and look at me."

Upon hearing this, Bach slowly raised his head.

When he met the Pope's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, his soul trembled.

A faint smile appeared on the Pope's face, a smile filled with divine radiance.

"From this day forward, you are no longer a grain of sand in the mortal world. You will bear the glory of the religion and become a messenger of God walking among mankind."

"Your humble origins will become a thing of the past."

"Your ordinary destiny will be rewritten."

"Your name will be engraved in the sacred scriptures of the religion and sung by millions of believers for ten thousand years!"

"The Church will grant you power!"

"Glory to you!"

"I grant you...eternity!"

The Pope's voice is full of seductive magic!

Every word struck Bach's heart like a thunderclap!

strength!

glory!

eternal!

Bach's breathing became extremely rapid, and his eyes turned bloodshot with extreme excitement!

He seemed to already see himself holding supreme power, looking down on all living beings, and becoming the future of the religion!

His humble origins, the scorn and bullying he had suffered, all vanished like smoke in this moment!

destiny!

His fate has been completely changed from this day forward!
"Disciple Bach, I offer myself to the divine bull, to His Holiness the Pope, with all that I have! My soul! My life!"

Bach roared with all his might, slamming his head heavily onto the cold altar!
"very good."

The Pope nodded in satisfaction, then slowly raised a golden scepter in his hand and said to him:
"Then come with me and receive God's baptism, and you will... be reborn!"

Bach immediately stood up, his heart filled with excitement.

The Pope turned to the high priest beside him and said, "I will be leaving with the new Son of God. You will preside over the pilgrimage."

“Yes, Your Holiness,” the high priest replied hastily.

Then the Pope, holding his golden scepter, gently poked it forward, and a spatial rift appeared.

This power greatly excited the saints below.

As for Bach, the thought of inheriting the position of Pope of the Church and being able to do the same thing in the future made him excited.

Bach followed the Pope into the spatial cave, and soon they arrived at a dark cave. The Pope waved his hand, and all the lights around them lit up.

“Your Holiness, where is this?” Bach asked.

"Your Majesty!"

The Pope's attitude suddenly changed, and his voice was devoid of the kindness he had just displayed.

After being discovered once, Lin Chen and his group were terrified of being discovered a second time. They had just cleanly dealt with a patrol team, but they might not be so lucky next time.

As they quickly traversed the second level, Xu Feng looked at the map, pointed to the stone in front of him, and said, "From here on, we'll enter the third level."

"According to the records, that divine ox was transformed into a Daoist being here."

Lin Chen was somewhat excited upon hearing this.

Little White has been asleep for a long time since absorbing the divine and demonic power of the Phoenix.

During this period of time, Lin Chen was very worried about its safety.

He also knew that once Xiaobai was able to absorb the power of gods and demons, his strength would definitely reach a new level after he woke up.

"Let's go." Xu Feng led the way, stepping into the third floor.
