He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

After a brief discussion about the conference arrangements and investment promotion, which opened up new possibilities for the old master,

Seeing that the two were in high spirits, Qin Yun changed the subject and talked about the real purpose of their trip to Longhu Mountain, or rather, the real cemetery!

"Old Celestial Master, to tell you the truth, I actually have another wish on my way up the mountain."

I imagine Master Lingyu has already told you this beforehand. If it's convenient, I'd like to pay my respects to the previous Celestial Master Zhang, to fulfill the wishes of our ancestors.

After all, in the past few years, he had been unable to visit the Celestial Master's Mansion despite his good intentions.

What he couldn't do, we, the younger generation, must naturally do on his behalf!

Of course, if possible, it would be even better to pay a visit to the other Celestial Masters as well!

Faced with Qin Yun's request, the two old masters were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they were somewhat gratified.

After all, Big Ear Thief had been hiding his identity for so many years, it was only right that he should show some respect to his sect.

If Qin Yun doesn't even bother to offer sacrifices, the two of them will be disappointed.

As for why Qin Yun went to such lengths to try and get a piece of the Zhang family's tomb... well, it's because the Zhang family is powerful enough and the potential profits are huge!

Unlike other surnames, there were actually two and a half noble surnames in the ancient times of Dongda University.

That's right, it's the kind of conversation where you don't need to use polite formalities like "please excuse me" when speaking normally.

Aside from the surnames of emperors throughout history, which can be considered as half a noble surname.

Two noble surnames, one of which is Kong!

Despite the infamy of being accused of surrendering to the emperor, the bloodline of the Sage of Literature guaranteed their wealth and status for countless years.

There are no dynasties that last a thousand years, only aristocratic families that last a thousand years. The Confucius family is the best example of this!

The other one is the Zhang family!

The Zhang mentioned here is the Zhang from the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain!

As the saying goes, Zhang in the South and Kong in the North, with such a reputation, how could the Celestial Master's Mansion lack masters throughout the ages?

If we could find the Zhang family's ancestral tomb... we'd be set for life!

That's right, the reason Qin Yun came to Longhu Mountain this time was to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

Besides wanting to take over the position of Celestial Master so that he can lead the Zhengyi sect in the future.

As for the other reason...

Qin Yun's real intention was to loot the corpse!

However, under Qin Yun's expectant gaze, the old Celestial Master looked troubled upon hearing this.

After a slow and deliberate explanation, most of the joy in Qin Yun's heart vanished instantly.

Because one could change their surname, throughout history, those who succeeded to the position of Celestial Master were generally not mediocre.

Even if one's mindset may be flawed, one's methods will never be soft!

only……

Because of the Golden Light Mantra and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, there were not many masters of external martial arts among the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain throughout history.

Not everyone is like Zhang Zhiwei, who can master one method and then master all methods!

Furthermore, as a cultivator, one must be mindful of the approaching end of one's life.

They either wandered the mountains and fields or chose a place to die in meditation, leaving very few remains.

Currently, there are only about a dozen or so confirmed survivors of the practice at Longhu Mountain.

This number may seem like a lot, but compared to the sixty-four generations of the Zhengyi sect's lineage, it is extremely small!

Fortunately, because of its relatively recent age, the body of the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing was well preserved.

The Golden Light Mantra, which has reached its ultimate state, is combined with the complete Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

The system evaluation should be at least three stars (perfect), and with a bit of luck, you might even get a four-star rating.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Having the tombs of more than a dozen Celestial Masters, plus Zhang Jingqing's tomb would be fine!

Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he prepared to find out the location.

The worship was a pretense; the real purpose was to scout the location and then secretly rob the tomb!

Unfortunately……

Zhang Zhiwei: "It would be better to wait until after the Luotian Grand Ritual to worship at the mausoleum."

"At that time, I can not only bring Zhang Chulan along, but also speak with my master, so I can pass on the Heavenly Master's Mandate to you."

We'll have to wait until after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is over...

Qin Yun calculated in his mind that with his abilities, as long as he determined the location of the tomb, it would not be difficult to sneak into the tomb chamber at night.

Furthermore, with the current reforms aimed at eliminating sectarianism, the Celestial Master's support in the world of supernatural beings is indispensable, so there's no need to break ties now.

The Grand Ritual of Luo Tian... it'll only take two or three days, I can wait that long!

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Elder Celestial Master, to fulfill my request!"

"Chairman Qin, you flatter us. Aside from the fact that we're all on the same side, if anyone should be expressing gratitude, it should be us thanking you!"

Silent all night.

The next morning, flags fluttered on the Longhu Mountain arena, and extraordinary people from all directions gathered.

"Since everyone's here and wants to have a friendly spar, I don't think we need to wait any longer. Let's begin now!"

After deferring to Qin Yun, the host, the Old Celestial Master, also took the stage to make his announcement.

The grand Taoist ritual has officially begun.

Moreover, in order to lure the snake out of its hole, they wiped out the unstable Quanxing forces in one fell swoop.

The fact that Tian Jinzhong has recovered from his injuries remains strictly confidential.

The official statement was that Tian Jinzhong was in seclusion and cultivating, and that Zhang Zhiwei personally delivered all his food and lodging. Even his personal disciples, such as Xiao Yuzi, were not allowed to get close, so there was no possibility of any leak.

Getting back to the main topic, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has officially begun.

Banners fluttered on the viewing platform, mountain winds swept through the pines, and below, the four preliminary round arenas were bustling with noise as contestants drew their own number plates.

Whether nervous or excited, they were all eager to get started and began to prepare seriously.

Qin Yun stood in the center of the high platform, with the old celestial master, Lu Jin, and Feng Zhenghao, who had previously traded antiques with him and even wanted to take Qin Yun as his son-in-law, beside him.

As for Lü Ci and Wang Ai, they had no personal relationship with Qin Yun and stood far away on the other side of the stands without approaching him.

It must be said that Feng Zhenghao is indeed a master of interpersonal relationships. Even though he had a grudge against Qin Yun in the past, he still shamelessly squeezed into this side of the stands.

In addition, Zhang Zhiwei had a conversation with him last night, and Tianxiahui became one of the sponsors of this Luotian Grand Ceremony, so it was perfectly legitimate for them to stay here.

He would glance at Qin Yun every now and then, trying to find an opportunity to ease the tension.

As the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony began, Group A took the stage first, with shouts and cries of fighting echoing from both the stage and the audience.

"The younger generation these days is truly full of talent. If it weren't for our age, I would be tempted to join the competition."

Another person nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was already a major event in the world of supernatural beings, and with the added favor promised by Chairman Qin, the number of supernatural beings who rushed to the scene was far greater than expected.

Due to the surge in the number of participants, the venue on the back of Longhu Mountain has limited capacity and simply cannot accommodate so many contestants.

The preliminary rounds had to adopt a brutal four-into-one free-for-all format, with four arenas open simultaneously, and four people fighting each other in each round, with only one person ultimately qualifying for the next round.

Under such a competition system, those young extraordinary individuals who are already famous will become the target of everyone's attacks as soon as they step onto the stage, and will inevitably be besieged by the others.
