Volume 1 Chapter 2 Ancient Legend

  Zhao Rui felt his heart racing, he began to search around the fairy and devil cemetery, hoping to find an answer from the cemetery, and even more hoping that there would be a way back to the ground in the cemetery. If by chance he could find some treasure, it would naturally be the best, killing three birds with one stone.

  The Xianmo Cemetery is like a huge maze, with giant tombs scattered throughout, like massive icebergs stretching out before you. The ancient Xianmo may be frozen in their graves, having passed away millions of years ago, but the remaining majesty still inspires awe and reverence.

  Zhao Rui even felt that the gaze of these immortals and demons seemed to penetrate the constraints of time and space, still watching him, making him feel immense pressure.

  The monotonous footsteps echoed in the silent cemetery, the temperature around getting lower and lower, the chill emanating from the fairy tomb growing thicker and more intense. Zhao Rui felt as if he was walking in a huge ice cellar, his clothes covered with a thick layer of frost, his hands numb with cold, his feet heavy like lead.

  If he hadn't been living in a harsh environment since childhood, cultivating superhuman willpower, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

  Nor did he know how long he had been searching in the Xianmo Cemetery, Zhao Rui was almost exhausted, suddenly, his foot seemed to have stepped on something, and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

  He looked down and found that he was stepping on a small, long strip of jade pendant.

  In the cemetery of immortals and demons, things are naturally not different, maybe it's a treasure that can help oneself get out.

  Zhao Rui's spirits lifted, and he hastily picked up the jade token, examining it carefully.

  The jade plaque is not large, can be held in one hand, the surface has a faint flowing milky white light, the edge is carved with exquisite cloud patterns, and there are four lines of ancient inscriptions in the middle.

  "Full Moon Night"

  "The Fairy's Tomb is Open"

  "Holding this immortal sign"

  "Come on in"

  "It turned out that this was the spirit tablet for entering the graveyard, and I don't know who threw it down." Zhao Rui let out a disappointed sigh, "But now I'm already in the graveyard, my biggest problem is how to get out, not how to get in."

  Although this Shengpai didn't help improve his situation, Zhao Rui still put the Shengpai in his pocket. If he could really get out, he could use this token to come back in the future.

  He plucked up his courage and continued walking forward for a while, until he finally arrived at the central area of the cemetery.

  In the very center of the cemetery, a strange and mysterious Taoist magic array was set up. The immortal energy was faintly visible, and the inscriptions were floating in the air. On the center of this array, a ten-meter-high stone monument was placed.

  Zhao Rui walked over and took a look, discovering that the ancient characters on the stone tablet actually had some descriptions about the origin of this cemetery:

  In the ancient times, when the gods and demons controlled the world, for some unknown reason, a massive and extremely brutal war suddenly broke out between the Eastern and Western gods and demons. Their terrifying powers triggered huge disasters all over the world: mountains collapsed, the earth cracked open, volcanoes erupted, and tsunamis ravaged the land.

  This was a war with no winners, both sides having paid an extremely heavy price. Although the Eastern Fairy and Demon Alliance ultimately gained the upper hand, countless powerful fairies and demons fell in battle.

  This war was too tragic, the Eastern Immortals and Monsters suffered heavy losses, and the Western Gods and Demons were even more defeated, with mournful cries filling the fields. In the end, it led to a gradual weakening of the influence of the gods, immortals, demons, and monsters from both East and West on the world.

  The Eastern Fairy Demon who survived the war built a fairy demon cemetery for the dead, sealed their bones with the Nine You Bing of the Ice Hell, and then sank the entire cemetery into the sea floor thousands of meters deep.

  In order not to disturb the deceased's rest, the immortals also set up layers of prohibitions around the cemetery and laid down powerful immortal techniques. Unless one possesses a specially made tomb-entering immortal plaque, even if an immortal were to arrive in person, they would be unable to discover the location of the immortal cemetery, let alone enter it.

  Having done all this, the builder of the Xianmo Cemetery floated away through the reserved Xian technique formation in the center of the cemetery.

  "Wow... it's truly unbelievable."

  Zhao Rui finished reading the text on the stone tablet, let out a deep breath, and felt that his doubts had not only not decreased, but had actually increased. "What is the reason that has drawn the immortals, spirits, demons, and monsters of both the East and West into a war of mutual destruction? Moreover, the tablet says that without the Grave Entering Immortal Token, even immortals cannot enter the graveyard, so how did I originally get in?"

  After making wild guesses for a while, he thought that the reason why he could sneak into this cemetery was probably due to the passage of time.

  The passage of time can cause the decline of heaven and man, and nature can also make some subtle changes to these immortal techniques.

  As for why the war between gods and demons broke out in ancient times, that was something he couldn't guess.

  Zhao Rui felt that the education he had received for over a decade was completely overturned. If it weren't for being in the Xianmo Cemetery and personally experiencing these unbelievable events, he absolutely wouldn't have believed a single word on the stele!

  However, he now hopes that the contents recorded on the monument are completely true, not a single word is wrong, which is the best, because only in this way can he leave the fairy and devil cemetery.

  Stepping into the Xianyu Formation, Zhao Rui looked back at the towering Xianmao tombs that stood like a forest, and felt a slight sense of regret in his heart. These Xian tombs were indeed sealed with Xianmao treasures that could drive countless cultivators crazy.

  Not to mention the top-grade immortal treasure, the Wind and Fire Fan and the Golden Jade Chop, in the hands of Tai Shang Lao Jun, even a low-grade immortal demon's treasure, taking out one piece at will, can move mountains and seas, change heaven and earth.

  Because those ancient immortals and demons who could be buried here were not weak, their levels being high or low was only relative.

  Unfortunately, he couldn't get his hands on any of them. Those tombs that had been reinforced with immortal techniques were astonishingly solid, and no matter what methods were used, they couldn't inflict even the slightest damage on them!

  He had seen a nameless little demon's fairy tomb while wandering in the cemetery earlier, which was probably the lowest-level fairy tomb in this cemetery. The Jiuyou Xuanbing that built the tomb had even been corroded by time to reveal a deep crack, but despite this, he had used all his skills and still couldn't scrape off even a bit of ice from the tomb.

  "Entering the treasure mountain but returning empty-handed..."

  Zhao Rui was disappointed, but he soon became happy again because he picked up a piece of jade with the words "Tomb of the Immortal" on it. With this treasure in hand, as long as he could get out alive, he would naturally have another chance to come back later and maybe by then he would have found a way to open these ice coffins of immortals and demons.

  He placed his hand on the stone monument, closed his eyes and quietly waited for the magical array to transport him away.

  However, after waiting for half a day, there was no movement in the law array, and he remained stagnant in the Xianmo Cemetery.

  "What's going on? Why am I still stuck in this godforsaken place?"

  Zhao Rui looked around in a daze, feeling extremely disappointed and disheartened, with the emotions swirling all over his body.

  He didn't want to stay in the Fairy Devil Cemetery for another minute, even though it was sealed with countless treasures of the fairy family. He was cold and tired, almost reaching his physical limit, if he didn't leave soon, he would probably die here, and the untaken treasure would be useless.

  "Damn it! Why isn't this magic formation working? Is it also because of the long time?"

  Zhao Rui was thinking angrily, hoping to find a way to make up for it.

  After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized that this immortal technique formation might need special power to activate it. The gods and demons could easily do it, but as an ordinary person, he had no power at all, and naturally, there was no possibility of activating the formation!

  Zhao Rui clenched his fist and slammed it onto the stone tablet, causing fresh blood to flow out.

  He survived the maritime disaster and stepped into the mysterious Xianmo Cemetery, where he learned a shocking secret that could be considered extremely lucky!

  However, his good fortune came to an end as he was unable to leave the cemetery and ultimately perished here, taking all secrets with him to his grave. It's as if he had gone full circle only to return to where he started, still unable to escape this calamity!

  "No way, I'm not willing to be with these ancient immortals and demons."

  Zhao Rui gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down, looking for other ways to escape. With his personality, he would never give up until the last second.

  He looked up at a mausoleum standing like a glacier in front of him, his face expressionless. However, he was thinking to himself whether there were any other possibilities for leaving.

  Across from him, in that fairy tomb, an enormous and exceptionally powerful ancient demon was sealed in ice.

  That ancient demon, with a dark blue complexion, had a pair of thick and curved horns on its head, four extremely sharp fangs in its bloody mouth, and red light emanating from its huge eyes. Its entire body was tense with muscles, its back covered in mysterious tattoos, and a pair of black giant wings stretched out from both sides of its back.

  He held a magic axe in his left hand and a giant shield in his right, both raised high as he looked up at the sky with an expression of pride and discontent on his face.

  Although it has been dead for millions of years, it still strongly feels the suffocating majesty and ferocity emanating from its body!

  Zhao Rui suddenly felt that the unwilling expression on the face of the ancient demon, was extremely similar to his current mood.

  He walked up to the tomb of the immortal and carefully read the introduction on the tombstone.

  This ancient evil spirit is called the Ba Huang Man Long, born in the distant past of the Hong Huang era as a great demon, absorbing the most ferocious and deadly energy from heaven and earth, cultivating into shape, becoming the leader of all demons, leading millions of demons, intimidating all demons, jumping out of the three realms, not within the six paths.

  It created a shocking cultivation method - Ba Huang Luoxian Jue, exterminating gods and destroying spirits, cruel and unparalleled.

  Its notorious name makes all the immortals and gods of the Three Realms, as well as the six paths' sentient beings, tremble with fear!

  In the great war between the gods and demons of the East and West, the Eight Desolate Dragon showed astonishing strength, killing countless Western gods and demons under its demonic axe. However, due to its own excessive pride and overconfidence in its abilities, it fell into a trap set by the Western gods and demons, who rose up together to attack it, ultimately leading to its defeat in battle.

  "What a super **!" Zhao Rui reverently stroked the surface of the immortal tomb several times, "I want to possess one percent of its power, and leaving this fairy demon cemetery will be easy."

  Just as his hand touched the icy tomb, the fresh blood on his hand also rubbed onto the ice layer.

  In an instant, the blood transformed into thousands of strands, seeping deep into the tomb, as if something was strongly attracting it.

  Immediately afterwards, the mysterious tattoo on the back of the Eight Desolate Dragon suddenly lit up, shining with dazzling blue light, resplendent and magnificent!

  "What's going on?"

  Zhao Rui's eyes narrowed in surprise as he looked at the tattoo, and to his astonishment, he found that it was composed of multiple strange patterns and texts!

  "Ba... Huang... Lu... Xian... Jue..." He read it out softly, and his heart suddenly shook violently. "Could this be the legendary technique mentioned on the stele, the ancient great demon Ba Huang Man Long's peerless creation?"

  The mysterious blue glow emanating from the tattoo was suddenly projected out of the immortal tomb, forming a huge light diagram in the air that kept changing and dazzling people's eyes.

  Before Zhao Rui could figure out what was going on, the cyan light diagram suddenly burst open and split into fifteen small cyan light diagrams that shot straight into his pupils!

  Zhao Rui only felt a loud noise in his mind, and a green light filled his vision. Except for the fifteen mysterious light diagrams, he couldn't see anything else!

  After a while, the blue light in front of him completely dissipated, and when his vision was fully restored, he only then discovered that these fifteen blue light diagrams were deeply etched into his mind like knife carvings.

  At this time, he finally confirmed that these fifteen cyan light maps were the shocking world spells cultivated by the ancient demon eight desolate barbarian dragon - the Eight Desolation Heavenly Slaughter Spell!
