Chapter 967: Four-person group" or "quartet

Little Chi now exuded a fierce aura, even concealing the sly glint in his eyes. This time, joining Fat Song and the others in exploring the tomb for hundreds of years had been incredibly rewarding!

Although this sea tomb belonged to a Great Ascension Venerable, it didn't seem particularly formidable now. But that was because the Great Ascension Venerable had died long ago, making it an ancient relic!

Fat Song, despite being unreliable in daily life, was exceptionally skilled in tomb exploration. His collaboration with Qionghua Shuiyu was seamless, and wherever the compass pointed, there was no dead end.

Even though Little Chi couldn't understand their profound discussions, his flame divine sense allowed him to probe the Seven Gates Golden Light Formation above and the Hundred Ghosts Grave below, paving a path to survival for them.

Song Heng had mentioned that this immortal tomb was so ancient that its history was untraceable. Back then, those immortal cultivators built these tombs to bless their descendants with good fortune.

If they took a wrong step, the tomb could be destroyed, and their lives could be in danger. Only Little Chi's unique flame divine sense could easily break through the tomb's mysterious barriers, minimizing their losses.

Little Chi's divine sense had been acknowledged by Ancestor Chen Xun and Ancestor Ximen at the Forbidden Sea demon nest. They believed this child—

Was an expert in vein-seeking and mining, only slightly inferior to them!

The success of this tomb exploration was also greatly credited to Gu Lisheng.

He had once asked his ancestors to shield him from all causes and sufferings, and now he had finally found an opportunity!

"Urgent as a decree, let all disasters fall upon Gu Chuiniu! He was once the favored child of fortune, he can surely withstand it!"

Gu Lisheng's wild life began to be manipulated from this point. He was always the first to open coffins, the first to be exposed to the ancient tomb's aura...

This tormented the already confused Gu Lisheng into regaining some memories, and it also showed Qionghua Shuiyu what a true wonder of the world was, beyond the immortal cultivators.

But it was clear that Song Heng knew some great secrets of the world buried in time, unspeakable, only to be discovered through tomb exploration!

And Qionghua Shuiyu, a little rich lady from the Xuanwei Heaven domain, if they were to explore and seek treasures in the major heavenly domains, the travel expenses alone were considerable, not to mention the need to purchase magical artifacts based on the characteristics of each immortal tomb...

She was undoubtedly an indispensable core member of their team.

At this moment, a startled voice broke the slightly somber atmosphere.

"Fatty."

Gu Lisheng held a jade tile with trembling hands, his eyes fixed on it. This was a trace of the Taiyi Immortal Court... Why was it here?

"Gu Chuiniu, we're like brothers. How could I take you tomb exploring for no reason?!"

Song Heng's small eyes sparkled with intelligence, as if he held all the cards. "The factory owner has now proven his Dao and become an immortal, and you can openly appear before many immortals."

"But Gu Chuiniu, you're still alive thanks to the factory owner forcibly protecting us. Master Dao's plan can finally begin."

"Bold Song Heng, how dare you plot against Brother Xun?! Roar!!"

Little Chi's gaze was cold and sharp, ready to open his bloody mouth and swallow Song Heng whole.

However, before he could move, Song Heng's belly jiggled, and he calmly said, "Rengar, plotting against the factory owner, you must be overthinking. Do you know our story?"

"What do you mean?" Little Chi's pupils contracted, "Could it be that Fat Song and Brother Xun have an untold story?! There's something I don't know!"

"That's a load of nonsense!" Song Heng's eyes widened, almost smashing the Treasure-Seeking Compass on Little Chi's lion head. But he softened his tone, "This matter, the ancestors' karma hasn't descended yet, it's unspeakable."

"Roar, Fat Song, you really have ancestors?"

"Did you think Master Dao appeared out of thin air?"

"Then why do you curse your ancestors all day long?"

"What's it to you, Rengar?"

"Roar!"

Little Chi and Song Heng started bickering at the seabed, and if anyone could inadvertently change the topic, Song Heng was definitely a professional.

However, he felt a bit more profound inside. If he hadn't always followed the factory owner, he might never have had such an opportunity.

If Gu Lisheng could slowly retrieve the fragments of the Ancient Immortal Court, the lost fortune would gradually flow back into him, as long as the factory owner didn't perish, everything would be possible!

The Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court had long been shattered, scattered across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. His tomb exploration was to help Gu Lisheng, as these were fragments of Gu's fortune!

If more fragments were found, Gu Lisheng might be able to activate the true great fortune and karma divine power, finding the true resting place of the Ancient Immortal Court's remnants.

At this moment, Gu Lisheng wasn't paying attention to Little Chi and Song Heng. He was lost in deep confusion, as a wisp of blue-white mist quietly flowed from the Baiyu fragment along his arm into his body...

His somewhat clouded eyes suddenly flashed with clarity, as if he had an epiphany, and he no longer seemed surprised, becoming somewhat silent.

Gu Lisheng quietly glanced at them, giving Song Heng an extra look, this old fellow...

Qionghua Shuiyu remained silent, having grown accustomed to them over the centuries. She merely took out a piece of broken wood from the sea tomb, a wood without any tree rings or age.

This wood was called "Grave"! It was imbued with postnatal tomb aura, greatly beneficial to cultivators practicing the path of tomb fortune, and could only be found in ancient immortal tombs, now a rare find.

She felt grateful, as Master Dao had left such a precious treasure for her.

But Qionghua Shuiyu was overthinking. Song Heng, a grand world alien spirit, with a glorious ancestry, considered this wood no different from a fire stick.

It was better to sell a favor, letting her help them with travel expenses and purchasing tomb exploration artifacts.

Their four-way relationship was now as stable as a mountain, further strengthened by the camaraderie of tomb exploration, inseparable.

Meanwhile, Little Chi and Song Heng were still hurling insults at each other at the seabed stone gate, both showing a hint of slyness and pride in their eyes, truly kindred spirits, just short of calling each other good brothers!

They had gained quite a few benefits from the seabed immortal tomb, but there were no spiritual pills or immortal arts, and if there were, they had long been eroded by time.

...They brought out a few old items, which would definitely fetch top-grade spirit stones, as Song Heng never missed an eye for old items!

Little Chi naturally believed this, especially trusting Song Heng's expertise in this field.

Half a day later, the seabed stone gate completely closed, with a wisp of tomb aura entwined in its crevices, dissipating entirely at the moment of closure.

The four figures vanished with the surging sea currents, preparing to rest for a few months before choosing an auspicious day to relocate the stars and set their course.
