Chapter 601

After hearing Jueying's report, Qi Xiong pondered for a moment, although he did not know why the emperor's tomb would suddenly appear in Dongzhou.

But the fact is as such now; for the time being, we still need to figure out how to deal with it.

"The emergence of an emperor's tomb is no trivial matter; whether we like it or not, we cannot avoid it now, and moreover, the opportunities within this emperor's tomb, our Dao Yi Sect naturally will also strive for a share."

Soon a decision was made.

On one hand, the Dao Yi Sect must ensure stability in Dongzhou; on the other hand, since this emperor's tomb has appeared right at our doorstep, the Dao Yi Sect naturally cannot give up.

In the past, we only heard of emperor's tombs appearing in Zhongzhou, and even so, the number is less than can be counted on two hands.

However, the emperor's tombs that appear in Zhongzhou basically have nothing to do with the other four continents, and those holy lands of Zhongzhou would never allow them to come and take a share.

Therefore, the Dao Yi Sect actually has never had any experience in searching for emperor's tombs.

But this time is different; the emperor's tomb has appeared in Dongzhou, so besides the major holy lands of Zhongzhou, the strong ones from the other continents will surely come as well.

After all, this is the mausoleum of a Great Emperor; the good things hidden inside would probably stir even a Great Saint's heart.

So, the situation with this emperor's tomb will only become more chaotic.

Upon hearing Qi Xiong's words, everyone present nodded in agreement; the opportunity lay before them, and given the nature of the Dao Yi Sect, they would naturally not retreat.

"Except for the Logistics Peak, everyone else will follow me to the emperor's tomb."

Soon, Qi Xiong issued the order.

For a moment, within the Dao Yi Sect, star vessels continuously rose into the sky.

Except for Mu You, Zhāng Tiānzhèn, Qin Shou, etc., of the Logistics Peak, all other peaks were dispatched, truly giving their all.

While the Dao Yi Sect was taking action, Li Zhengqing and the two others naturally were not idle; news soon came from Zhongzhou.

Upon learning that an emperor's tomb had emerged, the Yunluo Holy Land also placed great importance on it.

"Zhengqing, this time let the Dao Yi Sect cooperate with you to first stabilize the situation, waiting for others to arrive."

This was the first task given by the Yunluo Holy Land to Li Zhengqing; however, regarding this, Li Zhengqing helplessly shook his head.

"This probably won't work."

"What's wrong?"

"The Dao Yi Sect won't be so obedient."

"They dare."

"The Dao Yi Sect now is different from before................"

Immediately, Li Zhengqing told the Holy Land about recent events in the Dao Yi Sect: the sect had suddenly produced more than ten Saints and five Great Saints.

Now there are indeed thirteen Great Saints holding down the fort; even the Holy Land side was slightly taken aback.

How has the Dao Yi Sect's development been so fast?

With such strength, the Dao Yi Sect is indeed no longer something that can be controlled at will.

Although the Yunluo Holy Land still has the ability to overthrow the Dao Yi Sect, doing so would at least require deploying an existence of Saint-Emperor level.

Moreover, in the end the Yunluo Holy Land would likely have to pay a considerable price; the Holy Land obviously does not wish to do so.

After a moment of silence, the latest response from the Holy Land side was.

"Joining forces with the Dao Yi Sect, we can agree to let them explore the emperor's tomb together."

From the initial order, it has become the present cooperation; hearing this, Li Zhengqing nodded.

"Understood."

If it is a joint effort, then Li Zhengqing still has confidence in persuading the Dao Yi Sect.

"Come on, let's go too."

After ending the voice transmission, Li Zhengqing looked toward Wang Xiao and Xiao Han Yi beside him, and the three of them headed together to the northern boundary sea of Dongzhou.

At this moment above the boundary sea, not only were there people from the Dao Yi Sect, but all major forces of Dongzhou had arrived.

Star vessels of various sizes hovered haphazardly in midair; on their decks, cultivators raised their heads to gaze at the enormous rift in the sky above.

Although the pressure within the rift was not as intense as at the beginning, even a random wisp leaking out made everyone feel palpitations.

"The Dao Yi Sect has arrived."

Just as everyone was paying attention to the emperor's tomb, someone suddenly shouted, and immediately several huge star vessels came flying swiftly.

Afterwards they stopped at the place nearest to the emperor's tomb.

Regarding this, everyone naturally had no objections; the Dao Yi Sect had the qualification.

"It really is an emperor's tomb."

After the star vessels stabilized, Qi Xiong and the fellow Shī xiōng all came onto the deck, raising their heads to look at the rift in the sky.

Faintly, one could still see pavilions and towers inside, as if it were a pure land.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Great Emperor Realm expert.

Great Saints can tear space, achieving a thousand miles in an instant; but Great Emperors can construct space, which is absolutely a fundamental difference.

Although the space constructed by a Great Emperor still has an essential difference from the real world, achieving even this is already absurd enough.

A small world independent of the Haotu Shijie—what kind of concept is that?

After observing for a while, Qi Xiong personally made a move; with his current entry-level cultivation in the Great Saint Realm, he nevertheless could not in the slightest disturb the restrictions surrounding the emperor's tomb.

"Impossible."

Yu Mo and the others' attempts were the same; for now we can only wait for the restriction to dissipate on its own, or for another Great Emperor to act and forcibly break it.

We could only wait; afterward, the crowd gathering around the emperor's tomb grew larger and larger—at first only the various forces of Dongzhou, then gradually people from the other provinces also came.

As Qi Xiong had expected, the Fomen of Xizhou, the Demon Race of Beizhou, the Barbarian Tribe of Nanzhou, and the various holy lands of Zhongzhou all arrived.

The first to arrive was the Undying Holy Land of Zhongzhou.

As the holy land of the Undying Race, the Undying Holy Land is very strong; moreover, this time upon taking action, it directly dispatched five Great Saints, leading more than twenty Saints and over a thousand disciples.

Furthermore, these disciples' cultivation is not weak; each has at least reached the Dharma Appearance Realm level.

Watching the emergence of the Immortal Holy Land, Qi Xiong and the others were all as if facing a great enemy; as everyone knows, these holy lands of Zhongzhou have always acted in an overbearing manner, not even glancing at the other four continents.

As expected, with the Immortal Holy Land's starship slowly arriving at the same position as the Dao Yi Sect's, a terrifying aura emanated from within the starship.

"Within ten breaths, those who do not leave will die."

Upon arrival they proclaimed sovereignty; in the eyes of the Immortal Holy Land, how could the Imperial Tomb be something that the rustics of these barbaric lands could covet?

Since the Zhongzhou holy lands have come, then this Imperial Tomb naturally belongs to them.

Since ancient times, the Imperial Tomb has always been a competition among the holy lands.

Upon these words, the various major forces surrounding the Imperial Tomb all changed expression; some felt reluctant, not daring to oppose the holy land; some showed displeasure, but they did not dare to display it too openly, nor did they dare to speak out in rebuttal.

And the Dongzhou forces turned their gazes toward the Dao Yi Sect; it was obvious that everyone wanted to see how, in the face of the holy land's overbearingness, the Dao Yi Sect would choose.

Inside the Dao Yi Sect's starship, upon hearing the words of the Immortal Holy Land's Great Saint, Li Zhengqing immediately let out a helpless sigh, then turned to Qi Xiong and said.

"Sect Master Qi, otherwise let this old man go speak."

I have already spoken with the Dao Yi Sect; regarding this Imperial Tomb, the Dao Yi Sect is determined to obtain it, and moreover, this is Dongzhou—how could the Dao Yi Sect possibly withdraw obediently?

Furthermore, in terms of strength, these people of the Immortal Holy Land really are not enough to look at; unless their Great Emperor personally comes, but that is obviously impossible.

And the five Great Saints, before the Dao Yi Sect, well, can only be said to be not enough.
