Chapter 90: Ancient Tomb Illusion
Just after Xiao Gu and others left the mountain, a message began to sweep across the entire fairy world, causing the entire fairy world to surge with dark tides and smoke rising in all directions.
A great master with supernatural powers has appeared!
In the midst of chaos and the realm of wandering souls, a magnificent mausoleum stood towering into the sky in the notorious Death Swamp, visible to all within thousands of miles, casting a terrifying pressure over the entire immortal realm.
There were even luckier guys who were inevitably drawn into it, got powerful warriors, and as a result, accidentally leaked the news, not only losing their opportunities but also losing their lives.
However, after confirming this news, everyone went crazy. In the case where even the strongest in the immortal world was only at the Divine Transformation realm, the allure of a Great God's inheritance burial ground can be imagined. Who wouldn't want to rise to the top overnight? For a time, large numbers of powerful individuals converged on this location.
……
"Tian Dao brother, this is your territory, I'll follow you," in an unknown small town, Xiao Gu and four others walked shoulder to shoulder, as for Little Dragon, Xiao Gu left it on the Law Enforcement Peak.
The Dragon Clan has infinite potential, especially in the early stages. They don't need to go through any kind of training or experience. All they need to do is eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and their cultivation speed will be even faster than that of ordinary geniuses. They don't need to go out and have adventures.
What's more important is that all the combat skills are in their inheritance, as if they were branded on their souls, and every dragon is a born winner.
Heaven has given this race too many advantages, just like cheating!
"Of course, the most famous place in this chaotic land is actually a wine building, I don't know if Xiao brother has heard of it?" Li Tian said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I haven't heard of this," Xiao Gu said with a hint of surprise.
In his mind, a chaotic place, if it's called chaotic, naturally there would be endless slaughter, with cultivators running amok. He thought the most famous places should be arenas and such, but unexpectedly, the most famous one here is actually an inn, this is also too unbelievable!
"Then I'll take Xiao Brother to try it out," Li Tian said nonchalantly.
"Fine, fine, I'm going to have a big meal, hum!" Liu Qishuang jumped up and down with excitement, it seemed that since entering the Temple of Gods, this girl hadn't had a normal meal.
"Go, look at Xiao Ya's eager and impatient expression, like a little hungry cat," Li Tian said with a big laugh.
"Wait a minute, perhaps I've heard something interesting," Xiao Gu suddenly interrupted.
"Huh? Li Tiandao and Jian Yi looked over at the same time, while Xiaoyazi naturally glared at them with anger."
Xiao Gu smiled mysteriously and pointed at the two people walking in front of them.
"Have you heard? There's a rumor that a descendant of the ancient great god has appeared, is it true?" one person curiously asked another.
"Of course, it's been out for a long time, you're just finding out now, I'm telling you, that graveyard, tsk tsk, it's probably several thousand feet high, and can still be seen to this day!" Another person sighed.
"Really? That means we also have a chance, as long as we get some kind of inheritance or treasure, the immortal realm will be ours to roam freely, beautiful women at our beck and call, endless resources, who knows, maybe we can even become revered ancestors." The person's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing his companion's words.
"Don't even think about it, I don't know how many powerful people will come, the whole fairy world knows this news, we can forget about it, even if we go, we'll just be cannon fodder," another person said with a hint of jealousy.
……
Since leaving the Temple of Gods, this was the first town they encountered, and it could be said that it was also their first encounter with cultivators. Naturally, they still didn't know about the news of the ancient tomb's appearance, but suddenly hearing it naturally piqued the interest of several people.
"Let's go, at that wine house, you can get any news," Li Tian said with a smile, glancing at Liu Qishuang who was holding her belly, and then turned to Xiao Gu and Jianyi.
"Alright," Xiao Gu nodded, after all, Li Tian Dao grew up in this chaotic place, he definitely wouldn't speak nonsense about these things.
……
"This is the wine house you were talking about?" Looking at the dilapidated and humble wine tavern in front of him, Xiao Gu was speechless.
The wall was pockmarked and resembled the aftermath of a volcanic eruption. A tattered flag fluttered in the wind, with the character for "wine" barely legible. The small hut looked like it could hold no more than ten people at most, and its rickety appearance made Xiao Gu worry.
The little servant girl beside him was even more excited, the small wine shop in front of her wasn't as good as the small wooden house Xiao Gu gave him, and it was dirty to this extent, making it hard for people to have an appetite!
"Come on, follow me in, many people have this expression when they come here for the first time," Li Tian said with a mysterious smile.
"Oh, it seems there's another world out there!" Xiao Gu shrugged his shoulders.
As Xiao Gu walked into the dilapidated tavern, he was stunned in an instant.
This is...!
At a glance, the carved railings and jade balustrades are everywhere, with countless extremely revealing high-quality servant girls shuttling about. Rare ancient trees that are hardly seen on ordinary days, spiritual medicines, and precious treasures are all over the place, serving as decorations.
Each private room is like a small world of its own.
"This is a small world," Xiao Gu said with a shock.
"Not bad, this is an ancient small world, but after being discovered by people, it was used to open a wine house. As for the wine houses outside, they are just a cover." Li Tian said with a big laugh.
"May I ask if you want a private room?" At this time, a waitress came over.
"No need, just find a quiet place over there," Li Tian said, pointing to a pavilion by the water.
Under the leadership of the maid, the four people came all the way to the lakeside in the distance. There were many people here and the news was very lively. This was also Li Tiandao's purpose for choosing this place.
Ignoring the young girl's gluttony, Xiao Gu and his two companions began to pay attention to the murmurs of the people around them. At the same time, Xiao Gu was also carefully observing everything in this small world. Being able to occupy a small world and open an inn, the power behind it is worth deep consideration.
The maidservants going back and forth, all of them were flying in the air, showing that everyone's cultivation was not weak. The surrounding fake mountains were overlapping, and there were even small bridges and flowing water, lakes and high mountains, giving people a feeling of camping in the wilderness. More importantly, the spiritual energy here was extremely rich!
"Brother Tian Dao, do you know who the master of this small world is?" Unable to bear his curiosity, Xiao Gu asked Li Tian Dao, and as a local, he had reason to believe that he would know.
"Master?" Li Tian said with an eerie smile.
"Huh? You're telling me that this is the Tian Gong's industry?" Xiao Gu looked at Li Tiandao with a shocked expression.
"Not bad, it's indeed our Temple of God's business, but we just found two puppets to manage it. However, this secret is known by very few people, ordinary people only know that the power behind it is very strong, but they don't know it's us," Li Tian said with a nod.
"I really didn't expect that the Temple of God would have such depth," Xiao Gu couldn't help but sigh.
"So, it turns out we're eating for free," Little Ya Tou said, rarely having the time to spare amidst her busy schedule.
"Alas, you're right," Li Tian said helplessly.
"Great, just great! Luckily I didn't bring any money. Now we don't have to worry about paying the bill."
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, I'll pack some for you to take away then," said old Wang Ba, who hadn't spoken in a long time.
Perhaps it was because of Li Tiandao and Jianyi's high status in the Temple that soon an attendant came to invite Xiao Gu and others to enter a separate private room, which made Xiao Gu very suspicious of Li Tiandao's motive for bringing them outside.
"Please take your time, gentlemen. If there's anything you need, just let me know," said the steward, who was also a cunning old fellow, and he showed great deference to the presence of Sheng Tianwang.
"Hmm, go check it out. What's going on with the inheritance of that ancient great divine cultivator?" Li Tiandao ordered bluntly.
"Oh, the King has come for this matter, and I happen to know something about it," said the official with a bow and a smile.
"Speak up," Li Tian said, raising his cup in a gesture towards Xiao Gu, before draining it in one gulp.
"This incident started three days ago, when someone accidentally discovered a rare beast in the Death Swamp. Unbeknownst to them, they entered a palace while chasing after it, probably triggering some sort of seal or restriction, which caused the entire graveyard to appear," The executor seemed to have thoroughly investigated this matter, and even knew the process clearly.
"Do you know whose ancient strongman's tomb this is?" asked Xiao Gu.
"It is an ancient one who was possessed by a Buddha and became a great evil, the inheritance of the Skull King," the executor said without thinking.
Skull King, a super strong man 50,000 years ago, originally from Buddhism, but somehow stepped into the devil's path, with unmatched combat power, at that time, few enemies in the world could rival him, especially since he possessed the ultimate skills of both Buddhist and Devil paths, making him very troublesome. However, later on, he mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear unexpectedly in the Death Swamp.
