Chapter 156 The Grave-Digging Maniac, The Emperor's Palace

"Hey, Lao Duan, long time no see! I've missed you terribly. Do you still remember me?"

Lu Sheng met Yao Xi, Ji Haoyue, Duan De, and others at the ancient weapon shop where the bronze bell engraved with the characters "Nine Secrets" was first discovered.

Ye Fan followed him and also openly revealed his true appearance.

With Lu Sheng backing him up, Ye Fan didn't need to hide anything. He could just change his appearance when he got any benefits and ran away.

Even the unscrupulous Taoist priest Duan De, who had enemies everywhere, didn't change his true colors. How could he be inferior to Duan De?

The unscrupulous Taoist priest's face immediately fell when he saw Lu Sheng's face, clearly showing his dislike for Lu Sheng, who had stolen his treasure.

But these days Lu Sheng is riding high, and the news of his recent subjugation of Xiao Peng Wang has also spread. Countless people are saying that in the Dragon Transformation Battle, Lu Sheng will become the new Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Duan De, being well-informed, could only chuckle and say, "Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds; your fortune is truly astonishing."

"If there are any graves that need to be dug up, feel free to contact me."

He muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Eastern Wilderness human treasure in the Demon Emperor's Tomb has been obtained by the guy in front of me? Otherwise, how can he explain his cultivation progressing so quickly?"

No, he has to find a way to trick someone and get his hands on the treasure.

Upon realizing this, Duan De smiled even more broadly, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better think that the two were old buddies who hadn't seen each other for years.

Well, maybe they were good friends many, many years ago, but they haven't known each other for many, many years now.

"If needed, I will naturally trust the Taoist priest's abilities."

Lu Sheng smiled brightly, then greeted Yao Xi, Ji Jiahaoyue, and Ziyue, saying, "It's been a few days since I've seen the Holy Maiden. Please wash my feet when you have time."

"Hey you, Ye Fan's brother-in-law, don't look so gloomy. It's your honor to have a brother-in-law with a Holy Body. Your Divine Body is far inferior to his Holy Body."

Ye Fan revealed his true identity, and Ji Ziyue naturally couldn't help but step forward to strike up a conversation, after all, they had been living and eating together for several months.

As for Ji Haoyue's dark expression, Ji Ziyue said, "Brother, you should be magnanimous."

Yao Xi chuckled upon hearing this: "Lu Sheng, you're wrong about that. Everyone knows that the Ancient Sacred Body has become a useless body and cannot enter the Four Extremes."

"The divine body is the best physique in the Eastern Wilderness. The previous Eastern Wilderness God King was known as the number one attacker in five thousand years, which is enough to prove the power of the God King's physique."

"It's alright. In the past five thousand years, it would certainly have been enough to dominate," Lu Sheng laughed. "But now, it's not enough."

"In the Eastern Wilderness alone, there are more than a handful of geniuses who can rival the Divine Body, not to mention the other places."

"What Southern Demon Emperor, or the Four Absolutes of the Five Regions of the Big Dipper? Yet, in our Eastern Wilderness, not a single genius has yet emerged to establish a firm foothold."

"It will be decided soon," Ji Haoyue said confidently. "I will definitely be the final winner."

As they were speaking, two great suns suddenly appeared in the distance. Upon closer inspection, they were two peerless beings engaged in a great battle.

One is dazzling and radiant, the other is golden and shimmering.

Who are the Holy Son of Yao Guang and the Golden-Winged Roc King who didn't cast the Holy Light spell?

Despite repeated defeats, the Golden-Winged Roc King is determined to prove his strength by challenging the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Ji Haoyue, who was already itching to fight, was about to rush forward when Ji Ziyue stopped him.

The Golden-Winged Roc King arrived in front of Lu Sheng at lightning speed, his eyes arrogant as he said, "Lu Sheng, come and fight. I underestimated you that day, but this time I will not hold back."

"Hold back?" Lu Sheng seemed to have heard a joke: "Don't make me laugh. If you can't use it, you can't use it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work."

"Do you think you can defeat me even if you use those '108,000 Swords' and 'Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon' techniques?"

Lu Sheng said proudly, "I haven't used my special ability either. The secret techniques I know are far more than just the Kunpeng Technique."

"If you want to challenge me, you must first defeat all the holy sons of the Eastern Wilderness, otherwise you are not worthy."

"If you can truly defeat all the holy sons, I will make a bet with you. If you defeat me, I will pass on my Kunpeng Technique to you."

"I think you should be able to feel its compatibility with your Tianpeng clan."

"However, if you lose, you can be my mount." Lu Sheng sized up the Golden-Winged Roc King, his eyes full of goodwill. "So, are you brave enough to bet?"

Although the Golden-Winged Roc King had been defeated once, his aggressive nature remained unchanged, and he arrogantly said, "What is there to be afraid of?"

"Just you wait and see, I, the Golden-Winged Roc King, will become the true number one expert in the Eastern Wilderness!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and continued the battle with the Holy Son of Yaoguang, who had paused briefly.

Lu Sheng said with satisfaction, "Only such a proud and unruly bird is worthy of being my mount."

Yao Xi, standing to the side, said somewhat speechlessly, "That is the peerless genius of the Tianpeng clan, a new generation king on whom the old Peng King has placed high hopes."

"You actually want to tame him and make him your mount? How could you even think of that?"

"The Tianpeng clan would rather die than be enslaved."

"What do you mean by 'slave'? Don't make it so complicated." Lu Sheng shook his head and said, "It's just a simple mount relationship."

"If I lose, someone else can ride it."

"If you're capable enough, you can defeat me, and then you can ride me every day."

"But unfortunately, you're not good enough for it. You should just stick to being a mascot and a decorative object. The world is too complicated for you to navigate."

Lu Sheng's few words made Yao Xi angry, and she wanted to bite him.

Duan De watched in amazement, and his enthusiasm for digging the grave only grew stronger.

On the outskirts of Licheng, more than one group of monks were excavating ancient tombs.

All the tombs built on the surface were visited by grave robbers, and the old man buried near the city was fortunate.

The real tomb that the group of people were searching for was actually an ancient tomb with a history of over 10,000 years, located beneath the surface of the mausoleum.

Duan De, as expected of a grave-digging master, quickly delineated the approximate area and had several divine sons and daughters begin digging, doing the hard work.

Lu Sheng naturally objected and threw the big black dog out: "Big Black, it's your turn to perform. Use the digging technique I taught you to show them what real excavator skills are all about. Beidou Donghuang is looking for... cough cough, wrong channel. Anyway, go ahead, you stinky dog, show your value to the team."

"Woof, you're so mean, Mr. Lu! I'm the future emperor, and you're making me dig up graves!" the big black dog protested.

Duan De, however, seized the opportunity and said, "What's wrong with digging up graves? Brother Demon Dog, don't underestimate this skill. Maybe we'll unearth an emperor's tomb soon, and then we'll all be rich."

As time went by, more and more people flocked to the auspicious land that Duan De had found, and he was not the only one who knew feng shui for burial.

In a short time, they had searched nine out of dozens of plots of land.

At the same time, one after another, renowned figures appeared before the crowd.

An unknown divine body from the Jiang family, a fairy from Yaochi, the Great Evolution Holy Land, the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, the Purple Mansion Holy Land...

All the well-known forces in the Eastern Wilderness actually sent people over.

Normally, such a coincidence would not happen, but the Yaochi Grand Gathering was about to begin, and all the holy sons and daughters and geniuses from all sides were invited to the Northern Region.
