Chapter 614: This sound

The Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's last remaining lone sapling, the sole remaining Demon Emperor.

Qin ShanHai really wanted to act now, but Qi Xiong still signaled everyone to endure a moment.

This place is crowded with mixed eyes; people from the Yunluo Sacred Land and the Undying Sacred Land are all here. If we directly attack this Demon Emperor now, wouldn't that let people know?

Anyway, there's no rush; it can't leave the Imperial Tomb.

Hearing that, everyone also suppressed the killing intent in their hearts, remained silent, but their gazes unconsciously stayed on this Demon Emperor.

For some reason, this Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, inexplicably feeling a chilly sensation.

"Strange, why would I feel a chill?"

You know, at his level, he long ago forgot what chill feels like, but now his heart feels all jittery, unable to resist that feeling.

After looking around and finding nothing wrong, when he saw the Dao Yi Sect, this Demon Emperor still couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmm.........."

Regarding the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land affair, everyone only felt it a bit strange, but didn't investigate further.

After a brief stare, everyone's attention turned to the hall before them.

Only to see the hall extremely huge, its gate tightly shut.

A Great Saint from the Undying Sacred Land stepped forward, trying to open the gate, but no matter how much force he used, the gate didn't budge at all.

"There's a restriction on this gate.........."

A layer of restriction had been placed on the gate, making it impossible to open by brute force.

Hearing that, others also stepped forward to try, finding it indeed so; but then how would everyone enter the hall?

Just when everyone was at a loss, with no way forward, suddenly Xu Jie saw two formation diagrams on the left and right sides of the gate.

And after trying, he discovered these formation diagrams could actually be moved.

"Is this the key to opening the gate?"

He spoke doubtfully; hearing that, everyone gathered around, discovering it really seemed to be so.

These formation diagrams could indeed be moved; it looked like they wanted everyone to piece them into some pattern.

But for a moment, no one understood how to operate them.

Until a Great Saint from the Yunluo Sacred Land examined them closely for a while, then uncertainly said:

"This looks like a Star Mansions Diagram."

"Star Mansions Diagram?"

Most people didn't understand, but that Great Saint silently said:

"It really does resemble a Star Mansions Diagram; I once studied star mansions, and this looks similar. Could it be that we are supposed to reconstruct these two formation diagrams according to the star mansions?"

Star mansions are rarely studied by anyone; frankly, they have no special significance and do not increase a cultivator's power.

So few people would waste energy researching these things.

At most they'd treat it as a hobby; this Great Saint of the Yunluo Sacred Land was no different.

Because he liked star mansions, besides his cultivation he researched a bit; it's not very profound, just having some understanding.

That's why he wasn't so certain.

But now, everyone had no clue, so they could only try.

According to his memory of previously encountered star mansions knowledge, this Great Saint of the Yunluo Sacred Land began slowly moving the left formation diagram.

Under his manipulation, the star mansions kept shifting positions, gradually forming a star map.

It looked feasible, as each star mansion seemed able to find its place.

"It really seems possible."

Someone exclaimed in delight, but nobody dared disturb the Great Saint's train of thought; they could only wait aside.

Around that Great Saint, disciples of the Yunluo Sacred Land formed a protective circle, preventing others from approaching.

But as time passed, the Great Saint's speed also slowed.

Because later on, the difficulty kept increasing, and he felt strained.

Fortunately, after countless attempts, the left diagram was finally completed.

When the formation diagram was completed, a beam of light shone, and the diagram seemed to be activated.

"It really works.........."

Seeing this, everyone was delighted; the formation diagram was indeed drawn according to the star map.

Having found a method, everyone was pleased; at least they had a direction, no longer clueless.

Next, they just needed to follow this direction; even if it took several more tries, they would surely find a way to open the door.

The Great Saint who had completed one side of the formation diagram, though mentally exhausted, still genuinely showed a smile.

After a brief rest, he soon moved to the other side of the formation diagram and began to decipher it.

Everyone waited quietly; meanwhile, inside the hall, pitch black, yet a black shadow paced back and forth, looking quite tense.

He muttered unconsciously.

"Holy crap, the Imperial Tomb opened—what do we do, what do we do now?"

"What if those people rush in? Will they kill me?"

Panicking inside, and this black shadow clearly could sense that those people outside were currently deciphering the formation disk outside the gate.

It seemed they were about to succeed; once the gate opened, wouldn't he be doomed?

His heart was extremely anxious; suddenly, the black shadow seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, then he felt a bit apprehensive, but after gritting his teeth, it seemed this was the only way.

Immediately, it spoke in a deep voice, its tone oppressive and hoarse.

"Who dares disturb this emperor's quiet cultivation?"

The sound passed through the gate and quickly reached everyone outside.

Those who had been continuously solving the whole set, upon hearing this voice, were all stunned, and then all turned their gazes toward the gate.

"Someone is speaking?"

"I heard it too."

"Just now he said 'this emperor'?"

"Holy shit, could this Great Emperor still be alive?"

After the crowd was stunned, they were all shocked; a living Great Emperor is no joke.

When the Great Emperor is angered, corpses float for ten thousand li.

But soon, someone reacted.

"Impossible, this is the Emperor's Tomb; how could the Great Emperor still be alive? Who would pretend to be dead for no reason?"

"How could there be a living Great Emperor inside the Emperor's Tomb? This is absolutely impossible."

Upon hearing this, the crowd also came to their senses; yeah, this is the Emperor's Tomb.

For a moment, everyone's gazes shifted, but then someone spoke.

"But that voice just now......"

"Could there be someone in this great hall?"

"Huh?? Impossible, we've been here the whole time, we didn't see anyone enter, and besides, the gate's seal hasn't even been touched—how could they have gotten in?"

"No matter who it is, open the door and go in to see, then we'll know."

"Not bad, I want to see who's playing tricks."

Everyone spoke up one after another, discussing loudly, while on the Dao Yi Sect's side, Xu Jie, with a thoughtful expression, said to Ye Zhangqing:

"I feel like this voice is so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before."
