Li Xiu found a weak spot in a mountain wall, and dug in with his force field in the direction indicated by his compass of desire.
However, after a few minutes, he entered the tomb of Xuanyuan Huangdi, and inside, there were many stone roads, like a maze. Li Xiu didn't care and just kept digging one road to the bottom, finally, he dug into a palace.
In the center of the palace, there was an immortal skeleton sitting on a stone seat, holding a sword. Although there was no flesh or skin left, only a white bone, you could still clearly feel the king-like power of the emperor that was facing you.
Li Xiu floated up to the stone platform, and first noticed the Xuanyuan sword in the hands of the Xuanyuan Huangdi skeleton, he reached out and took it in his hand. The Xuanyuan Huangdi skeleton fell apart easily without support and with the influence of external forces. It seems that even if Xuanyuan Huangdi was extraordinary in life, after death, he could only maintain his bones for thousands of years without decay, nothing else was unusual.
After inspecting the sword in his hand, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment in his eyes. The Xuanyuan sword was not as magical and powerful as the legends said, it's probably just a similar divine weapon as the Snow Drinking Mad Knife and the Fire Lin Sword a thousand years ago, after thousands of years, the edge of the sword has dulled and rusted, it's hard to call it a divine weapon.
Li Xiu threw the Xuanyuan sword aside and picked up the Xuanyuan Huangdi's spine, he immediately felt a sense of balance and power contained within, as well as a sense of ancientness and nobility. This was exactly what Li Xiu was looking for, he picked up the Dragon Vein and returned the same way out of the mountain, and then flew towards the sky.
A quarter of an hour later, in a palace hall within the imperial palace, the sound of a crisp metal awakened an old man. He didn't even have time to put on clothes and lit the candles in the room, and looked in the corner of the room.
In the corner of the hall, an exquisitely crafted bronze plate dragon statue had a golden bead fall out of its mouth and into the plate. The old man saw this and immediately panicked. He quickly put on his formal robes and rushed out of the room towards the emperor's sleeping quarters.
The old man was the head of the palace's ancient sky observatory, whose duty was to predict the rise and fall of the empire's fate. He had the ability to directly report to the emperor at any time if there were any significant changes, and would not be held accountable. The bronze dragon statue with purple energy was a feng shui tool connected to the fate of the empire, and if the dragon bead fell out of the statue, it meant that the empire was in danger of collapse. This was a critical matter that he must report to the emperor immediately.
The Xiawang Mansion, was a special force in the martial arts world. In the early years, the ancestors of the Lv family were given the title of Xiawang for their chivalrous and righteous actions. Although the later generations of the Xiawang Mansion were not as accomplished, they were still respected for the fame of their ancestors, and because they rarely participated in martial arts affairs, the Xiawang Mansion had been peaceful for a hundred years. But today, an unwelcome visitor had arrived.
"What the hell are you doing here? Carrying a coffin in front of our Xiawang Mansion, aren't you afraid of looking bad? Get out of here!"
The Xiawang Mansion was a local high-class family, and usually those who came to visit were wealthy and powerful. The gatekeepers, who had seen many such people, also considered themselves superior and didn't pay any attention to ordinary people.
In front of the Xiawang Mansion, four gray-clad gatekeepers were fiercely chasing away a strange man who was carrying a coffin.
The strange man didn't say anything and just wrinkled his brows, he raised his hand and gave them a palm strike. His strong true energy shattered the hard gate and the four gatekeepers all died from the impact, their organs shattered and bones broken.
Bu Jingyun looked at his hand and a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes. Since he had taken the Blood Bodhi fruit given to him by the senior, his strength had greatly improved and his true energy was much more powerful. Even if he faced a powerful opponent now, he was confident he could defeat and kill him.
Carrying the coffin containing Kong Ci's corpse, Bu Jingyun regained his cold and indifferent appearance and walked into the Xiawang Mansion. The attitude of the gatekeepers earlier had disgusted him, so he killed anyone who dared to stop him on the way, leaving a trail of blood leading straight to the Xiawang Ancestral Hall.
Inside the Ancestral Hall, on the altar, there were no portraits of ancestors, but instead a seated corpse that looked as if it were still alive, with its eyes closed as if in deep meditation.
If it wasn't on the altar, and placed on the side, someone who didn't know would probably not recognize it as a corpse. All of this was due to the power of the "Ice Soul" stone.
The Ice Soul is a very cold and yin stone, it is said to be the remnants of Nüwa's patching of the sky, it can keep a corpse from decaying for thousands of years and restore the corpse's appearance to its former state. This is something that Bu Jingyun is currently very eager to obtain.
Bu Jingyun used his true energy to extract the Ice Soul from the Xiawang Ancestor's corpse, then the Xiawang Ancestor's corpse immediately collapsed and turned to dust. He didn't care about it and pushed open the coffin lid to put the Ice Soul on Kong Ci's corpse. Kong Ci's corpse regained its luster and looked as if it were only sleeping.
Bu Jingyun couldn't help but feel a little dizzy as he looked at it, he was about to reach out and touch the lively and glowing face when he was interrupted by the sound of someone rushing in.
The person who arrived saw the empty clothes on the wooden chair in the Ancestral Hall and was shocked and furious.
"I'll kill you!"
Long Xiu roared and charged forward, trying to stab Bu Jingyun's throat with his sleeve sword, but Bu Jingyun didn't even turn his head, he just used a palm strike to tear the sky and send Long Xiu flying, killing him instantly.
Bu Jingyun picked up the coffin and walked out of the Xiawang Mansion, exuding a fierce aura. The manor's servants gathered around him, but no one dared to attack him. Bu Jingyun coldly glanced at them and they all scattered and ran away.
Just as Bu Jingyun was about to leave the Xiawang Mansion, Li Xiu descended from the sky.
"Senior, I have finished my business. Kong Ci's corpse is no longer a problem. She loved the Tianshan Mountains' Tianchi the most and believed it was the most beautiful place in the world, I want to bury her there."
Bu Jingyun deeply looked at the coffin, then lowered his head respectfully and said,
"I will kill Xiongba and control the Tianxia Hui, so that I can serve you."
Li Xiu nodded and with a wave of his hand, he used force field to lift Bu Jingyun and the coffin and they flew quickly towards the Tianshan Mountains.
In the secret chamber of the Tianxia Hui, Xiongba let out a long roar to the sky, full of spirit. Not only has he fully recovered from his injuries today, but he has also trained to master the three-point return to vitality. He has combined the swift and long-lasting Wind God Leg, the fierce and unmatched Cloud Dispersing Palm, and the chilling and attacking Tianfeng Fist into one set of divine skills, restoring the three-point return to vitality.
Although his master's three ultimate moves are compact and coordinated, the power of the "Three-Points Divine Finger" is even greater. It can break metal and stone, and its power is limitless!
Xiong Ba's terrifying strength has increased threefold. He believes that there is no one in the martial arts world who can match him, not even the Sword Saint. Of course, he does not count Li Xiu as someone in the martial arts world.
Xiongba shook his robe and walked out of the secret chamber, his eyes full of killing intent. In recent days, he was injured and did not dare to leave the Tianxia Hui to pursue Bu Jingyun for fear of accidents. But now that his divine skill is complete, he needs someone to test its power...
