In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

A colossal hand, capable of blotting out the sky, grabbed down from the air. The hundreds-of-meters-long snake was like a tiny earthworm in this hand, being crushed and burst in mid-air. The one who made the move was none other than the Old Peng King.

In the battle between the second and first versions of the game, with the old Peng King, who possessed the power of a seventh-level immortal, personally taking action, this giant serpent naturally had little chance of survival.

Xiao Peng felt he had lost face and was very unhappy.

With a mindset of not wasting anything, Zhang Taichu used the Soul-Shocking Bell to collect the remaining essence of flesh and blood from the giant snake after its death. This essence could be used to help him unleash the Nirvana Mystic Technique more quickly.

This can be considered proof that the two profound mysteries are interconnected, but unfortunately, so far, only these two profound mysteries can be used together.

"As you can see, this secret realm is extremely dangerous. My advice is to proceed discreetly. Of course, if you think you can just charge through, I have no objection."

The old demons didn't speak, but instead released their divine senses to sweep across the entire immortal mansion's small world.

According to the original text, this immortal abode small world has a diameter of at least 90,000 li, and there are many worlds within it, so it is not easy to see the end at a glance.

Although the Peacock King and his companions were well-known figures, they were not arrogant enough to think they were invincible.

Especially the Crimson Dragon Taoist, who had recently escaped from the Sacred Cliff, knew very well that many places in the Big Dipper were extremely dangerous, and that his abilities were far from being able to go wherever he wanted.

Ultimately, the group decided to proceed discreetly, using various divine eyes or divine senses to scout the path ahead and ensure there was no danger before moving forward.

Of course, if you discover a powerful cultivation technique, you should fight for it even if it's dangerous, because those are all spoils of war.

Over the next ten days, the group traveled at various stops and found three sites with traces of martial arts techniques passed down through generations. One of these sites was even left behind by an ancient sage, and a great sage at that.

The five great demons were very excited. There was no way around it; although they were famous and powerful, most of them were actually practicing Immortal King-level or Immortal Saint-level techniques.

They are far from being comparable to Yaochi. It's only because they have good talent and some luck that they can compete with the holy masters of the major holy lands.

Now that they have found the Great Sage's inheritance, they are naturally extremely excited. Although it is a human cultivation method and they cannot directly practice it, with their cultivation and knowledge, they can definitely make further progress by drawing inferences from similar cases.

In addition to the three places where the cultivation techniques were passed down, they also killed several ancient beast kings. Since it was a localized battle with many against one, their side suffered few casualties and made quite good progress.

Zhang Taichu estimated that they would reach the burial ground where the Immortal Emperor's coffin was located in a few more days.

As night fell, the group rested in a cave.

The Queen Mother of the West exchanged a few words with several old demons, their expressions serious, creating a somewhat tense atmosphere.

Soon, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi summoned Zhang Taichu and asked him to use his Origin Heaven Divine Eye to carefully observe the surroundings.

Zhang Taichu looked around and found that he hadn't found a single ancient beast king. After explaining the situation, all the old demons had solemn expressions.

Zhang Taichu looked at the Western Queen Mother, who then explained the situation.

"Ambushed? What happened? I didn't see anything!"

"That's precisely why it's abnormal—because you didn't see it. They intentionally cleared out an area, then closed in from the outside, intending to wipe us out in one fell swoop!"

The Peacock King chuckled coldly, his young face filled with arrogance and murderous intent.

Zhang Taichu understood after a moment's thought.

"I see, that explains it. It's very unusual that we haven't been attacked in the past two days. It seems we've angered the local bullies."

Xiao Peng Wang laughed heartily.

"That's perfect! Let's wipe them out in one fell swoop and seize the entire secret realm!"

It was still the same mindless talk, but it was somewhat uplifting at this moment.

The Red Dragon Taoist turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

"Princess, you haven't used the Azure Emperor Weapon these past few days, have you?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head slightly.

"During this time, I have been honing my own secret techniques and have not relied on the power of the Azure Emperor's weapon."

"That's good. Although these ancient beast kings are enormous, they are not unintelligent at all. Since they dared to set up an ambush, they have obviously figured out our strength. Therefore, the Azure Emperor's weapon will be the key to victory!"

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West spoke.

"Red Dragon, don't worry. Yaochi is well prepared this time. Although the ancient beast king in this secret realm is strong, it can't threaten us."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King and the other old demons immediately understood what was going on.

The Crimson Dragon Taoist looked even more astonished.

"Did you bring the Western Emperor Pagoda with you? Yaochi really values ​​this kid."

Zhang Taichu was also shocked. Looking at the original work, the Western Emperor Tower was one of the imperial weapons that appeared the least.

It was only indirectly shown at the Yaochi Grand Gathering, after which the Dark Turmoil led to a joint attack on the Stone Emperor and other Dark Sovereigns, and then it was shattered and taken offline.

It can be said that it has a very low profile. The reason for this is that Yaochi uses the Western Emperor Tower to suppress the Heavenly Emperor's son's egg and to protect the Holy Spirit.

Now they've actually brought the Western Emperor Pagoda out for Zhang Taichu's sake... This is...

Seeing Zhang Taichu's shocked expression, the Western Queen Mother gave her answer.

"We have a secret method to summon the Western Emperor Tower. Whenever needed, we can immediately shatter the void and summon it from the Northern Region. We don't need to carry it with us."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that not all imperial weapons were like the Azure Emperor Weapon, which Yan Ruyu carried around the world with her.

Traditionally, imperial weapons are stored in sacred lands or ancient clans, and can be summoned whenever needed. Of course, if in an extremely dangerous secret realm, they are also carried with them to avoid being instantly killed before they can be summoned.

In fact, demons can also summon, but unfortunately, Yan Ruyu is the only one left with the bloodline of the Azure Emperor. Others who want to summon are not qualified, so they carry it with them.

With two imperial weapons as their trump cards, everyone was full of confidence and even began to look forward to the arrival of the Ancient Beast King.

The ambush began the very next day.

First, the earth shook, as if some enormous creature was moving underground and rushing straight toward their location.

At the same time, two lightning king birds, a dragon, a three-legged golden crow, and a toad as big as a mountain surrounded them from four directions.

Zhang Taichu discovered that the giant toad, or giant frog, had nine golden lines on its back. He had seen this feature in the original work; it was one of the beast kings on the outskirts of the Immortal Burial Ground. The nine golden lines on its back could simultaneously shoot out nine golden arrows, powerful enough to pierce through a Saint Lord.

"Five ancient beast kings, plus the one underground, make a total of six. That's quite a large-scale operation."

Zhang Taichu smiled, then used his Origin Heavenly Eye to observe what the beast king underground was, and upon seeing it, he revealed a look of surprise.

"Guys, we have work to do!"

Before the old demons could ask any questions, a deafening roar shook the earth, and a giant centipede over a thousand meters long burst forth from the ground. Its terrifying aura even made the Peacock King's expression turn solemn.

On the forehead of this giant centipede was a mirror, which radiated holy power and was a legendary holy weapon!
