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

After the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony ended, apart from the people who had to deal with the Quanxing attack on the mountain, the other extraordinary people from various sects also came down the mountain.

Everyone go back to their own homes and find their own mothers!

It's worth mentioning that Feng Zhenghao's family, as well as Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Bai, should have gone back after the competition.

However, because of Qin Yun, they found various excuses to stay at Longhu Mountain for a few more days.

Feng Zhenghao said that Feng Xingtong's injuries were serious and he needed to be hospitalized for two more days for observation before returning to Tianjin.

As for Zhuge Qing, after seeing Wang Ye off, he said he wanted to spend a few more days at Longhu Mountain to study Taoist teachings and exchange what he had learned, and did not immediately return to Lanxi, Zhejiang.

They're just saying things to appease people, so there's nothing wrong with them.

Moreover, there are only a few people around.

The few superhumans in charge of the investigation by Quanxing didn't take the matter to heart.

Furthermore, unlike the original novel where Gong Qing was depicted as insignificant and powerless, this version presents a different character.

Under Qin Yun's instruction and with Ding Shian's encouragement,

The number of people preparing to wreak havoc on Longhu Mountain this time is extraordinary!

All the Quanxing demons who had a bad relationship with Ding Shian, acted in extreme ways, and might be unruly in the future were all tricked by Ding Shian!

They were misled into believing that there was an incredible opportunity at Longhu Mountain, and that missing it would be a lifelong regret.

Even if Ding Daoan hadn't said that, these people would have been unable to contain themselves long ago after hearing about the incident of the Neng family causing a great disturbance at Longhu Mountain!

Then give it a slight push, and it will naturally surge upwards!

Thinking of their superior numbers, the Quanxing members were naturally even less afraid, and they were all eager to make a scene.

……

Closer to home.

After the competition ended, Qin Yun presented awards to the top three winners.

The old Celestial Master kept his promise and prepared to take Qin Yun and Zhang Chulan to pay respects to the ancestral Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

We wandered around Longhu Mountain for quite a while.

After passing through dense forests and dodging numerous sentry posts, Qin Yun finally spotted a heavily guarded cave.

The cave was hidden on the mountain wall, surrounded by vines, and would not have been discovered at all if the old master had not led the way.

On either side of the cave entrance stood a disciple from Longhu Mountain.

Although they weren't second-generation direct disciples like Rong Shan and Zhang Lingyu, both of them possessed a calm and composed demeanor, clearly indicating they were experts.

In addition, there were faint fluctuations of Qi energy in the surrounding dense forest, indicating that many sentries were lying in ambush.

According to the old Celestial Master, this is the burial place of the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Qin Yun glanced at his surroundings and made a mental note of them.

Such a secluded place would be quite difficult to find without someone leading the way.

Moreover, with such tight defenses, it's certainly not an easy task to sneak in unnoticed.

However, after going through it once, it was no longer a problem.

As for the issue of these hidden sentries... I can just wait until the Quanxing attacks the mountain, then I can take advantage of the chaos to come here. At that time, everything inside will be mine!

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Qin Yun's eyes, which he quickly concealed, and he followed the old celestial master into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing you see is a stone niche carved into the rock wall, and a dense array of memorial tablets placed inside.

Rows and columns.

Stretching from the top of the cave to the bottom, they are densely packed and countless.

The Zhengyi School has been passed down from Zhang Daoling to the present day, spanning a total of sixty-five generations.

Zhang Zhiwei was the 65th Celestial Master.

This is somewhat different from reality.

After all, in real history, the direct descendants of the Celestial Master's Mansion had already moved to the island due to the civil war.

The Zhengyi sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, ultimately could not escape the cycle of sixty-four in the heavens. After the sixty-third Celestial Master, there was no more orthodox lineage.

However, this is not reality, but an alien universe, so it's a different story.

"This is the core of my Zhengyi sect!"

The old celestial master stopped, turned around, and slowly spoke to Qin Yun and Zhang Chulan.

"We can just offer our prayers here."

As for the area behind the cave, that is the burial place of some of my predecessors from the Zhengyi sect.

My master, who is also Chu Lan's grandfather's master, Zhang Jingqing, is in there too!

The old master paused, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

"However, we, the less learned and less advanced, should not disturb their peace."

Zhang Chulan was taken aback and asked with some confusion.

"Some? Shouldn't it be all?"

The old master smiled and explained.

"Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can sense that one's time is coming to an end."

Just like elephants in the animal kingdom, which can sense it, people with profound cultivation can naturally sense it as well.

Usually at this point, after the position of Celestial Master is passed down.

These predecessors either chose to live a secluded life in the mountains, waiting to pass away peacefully.

Or they could descend the mountain and wander the world, making their home wherever they go!

While you can still move around, travel more, or perhaps resolve the karmic ties from your previous life!

Many of my predecessors from the Zhengyi sect chose to wander the world, so their remains are naturally not in the cave, only in a cenotaph.

Zhang Chulan suddenly understood and nodded: "So that's how it is!"

Because he didn't understand the Zhengyi sect, Zhang Chulan still thought that understanding cause and effect here meant a proper understanding of cause and effect.

However, knowing the character of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Qin Yun naturally understood it even better.

How should I put this thing?

The emperor, in his later years, arrives wielding an ultimate imperial weapon!

As for what will happen next, Qin Yun can only say that those who know, know!

……

Led by the old celestial master, the three of them respectfully finished their worship before the densely packed memorial tablets.

Three incense sticks and three heads—this signifies entering the mountain gate.

After the worship ceremony, Qin Yun did not linger there.

After all, he was not only of a superior generation, being of the same generation as the 64th Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, but also the head of the Sanyi Sect.

With such a status, he naturally could no longer enter the Longhu Mountain gate and become Zhang Zhiwei's disciple.

The reason I came here this time was simply to use Zhang Huaiyi as an excuse to offer incense to my "unfilial disciple".

Having done all this, Qin Yun naturally had to leave; he couldn't overshadow the host.

On the contrary, although Zhang Chulan did not win the championship in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, after seeing Zhang Chulan's performance, the Old Master still wanted to pass on the position of Celestial Master to him.

As for the so-called legitimate reason—

Not to mention that the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had already deteriorated to such an extent that there were no rules to speak of.

Furthermore, in the world of supernatural beings, with its swords, guns, and cannons, do you think the Heavenly Master's Mansion is some kind of place to reason?

How to arrange things for him is naturally up to the Heavenly Master; it's not up to others to interfere.

"Chu Lan!"

The old celestial master looked at Zhang Chulan and said solemnly.

"Come to the main hall at night to receive the initiation."

After you've finished receiving the message, I'll tell you all the secrets from back then.

"Master..."

Zhang Chulan shuddered, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and nodded heavily.

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey!"

After speaking, the old master lit another incense stick for his master Zhang Jingqing and bowed deeply to the memorial tablet.

It's unclear what the old Celestial Master was thinking at that moment. After offering incense, he took Zhang Chulan and turned to leave the cave.
