Chapter 836: An immortal descends to the world

Getting closer, this time they finally saw clearly.

It wasn't mist at all.

It was clearly mist-colored bugs the size of hair strands forming the mist. They were like silk threads; once entangled, one would suffer the pain of being corroded, gnawed, and parasitized. The despair was indescribable. Compared to the bugs in the stone chamber before, they were even more impossible to guard against.

Fortunately, both were people with profound cultivation; even though they were slightly embarrassed, they managed to pass through the mountain of blades smoothly.

The two fell together on the stone steps, looking at the mist-colored bugs that had lost their human targets and become somewhat manic, both feeling a bit of lingering fear.

"The bugs can't come over."

The mist bugs were very crazy, in mid-air, if described by people, they were bumping left and right.

"Why can't they come over?"

"This place is very strange!" Chen Guanlou pondered for a moment and said, "Everything, regardless of gods, ghosts, or bugs, seems to be strictly limited in their activity territory, and no one is allowed to cross the boundary. Logically speaking, bugs shouldn't have such intelligence; it looks like there is something on the edge of the mountain of blades that can restrain these bugs and limit their activity range."

"Brother Chen says so, and thinking about it carefully, it really is so. Brother Chen is worthy of being a servant in the Heavenly Prison; his mind is truly meticulous."

"Stop flattering! I don't believe you didn't discover these rules."

"I really didn't pay attention to so much. Ever since I went down to the underground palace, I've been busy surviving, and I haven't had time to think about these details."

Chen Guanlou laughed, not believing a word.

"Let's go, only the sea of fire remains; this level shouldn't be difficult."

"Those fires won't have problems, will they?"

"Try it and you'll know."

The two passed through the sea of fire in one breath smoothly.

Eh?

It was actually so simple, so smooth?

It turns out the mountain of corpses and the sea of fire were purely atmosphere groups, used to set the scene. The real lethal intent was in the sea of blood and the mountain of blades.

The two looked back, both revealing smiles of surviving a disaster.

"How to walk next?"

Three stone cave passages appeared before them.

Left, middle, right, how to choose?

Chen Guanlou pointed to the middle passage. "Walk forward!"

Zhang Daohe didn't hesitate at all and stepped onto the middle passage. He absolutely believed in Chen Guanlou's words.

Walking along the stone steps winding forward.

The torches burned with a crackling sound.

Reliefs!

Murals!

Finally, reliefs and murals appeared again.

"Shouldn't be far from the main tomb chamber." Chen Guanlou examined the murals on the walls; the colors were bright, the characters vivid and lifelike. The reliefs were extremely exaggerated.

"Look, on the mural, an immortal descends to the world, and the Emperor hosts a banquet to entertain him."

Zhang Daohe pointed excitedly at a certain mural.

"The early Great Yu really had immortals! Look, this person can spit fire, this person can summon wind and rain, this person can control water... they are all dressed in sacrificial attire. Brother Chen, could it be that in the early Great Yu, mortals could also cultivate immortality?"

Chen Guanlou said unhurriedly, "Immortals can descend to the world, which shows that the environment at that time was suitable for immortals to survive. Then, ordinary people could naturally cultivate immortality. Among ten thousand people, there are always a few with outstanding qualifications."

"Why can ordinary people cultivate immortality when immortals descend to the world?"

Chen Guanlou sneered. "Brother Zhang, why do you ask when you know the answer? Immortals can't be immortals from birth; they definitely need to cultivate. Since they cultivate immortality, they need various resources. These resources might be tangible, such as heavenly treasures. They might also be intangible, such as the air we breathe containing gases beneficial to immortals."

"You mean, there is no such gas beneficial to immortals in the air now, so immortals no longer descend to the world?"

Chen Guanlou nodded. "Assume that the beneficial gas is defined as spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is one of the essential factors for cultivating immortality. A mortal world without spiritual energy naturally cannot attract immortals. Is that easy to understand?"

"How to obtain spiritual energy? How to make the air full of spiritual energy?"

"I don't know, don't ask me. If I knew, I would have become a land immortal long ago, why would I need to accompany you in this underground palace, experiencing life-and-death tests."

Chen Guanlou's tone was dismissive.

He really had no expectations for this underground palace. However, having walked to this point, he also wanted to know who the owner of this underground palace was and what historical achievements they had.

Zhang Daohe stared at the murals on the wall, dazzled and yearning.

"If I can obtain the opportunity, Brother Chen, I will definitely share half with you."

"Thanks! Not interested!"

"You don't want to step into the Grandmaster realm?" Zhang Daohe was very surprised, his expression also stunned. He didn't believe that there were people in the world who weren't interested in the Grandmaster realm. It must be fake; the other party must be lying.

Chen Guanlou ignored the other party's paranoia and just said, "I haven't been in the martial path for long, my foundation is unstable, and I still need more training to lay a solid foundation. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to step into the Grandmaster realm. Once everything is prepared, I believe that with my qualifications and my luck, ascending to the Grandmaster realm will be a matter of course."

Speaking of this, he appeared particularly confident and exceptionally determined.

Zhang Daohe didn't understand.

"How can you be sure you will definitely ascend to the Grandmaster realm?"

"I have this confidence. Just like the countless times before. The biggest difference between me and you is that I am very open-minded, don't have many desires, and don't drill into the tip of the horn. In other words, my temperament is stronger than most martial artists. Many martial artists give up everything to pursue the martial path, showing signs of going into demonic deviation. But I am different; I pay attention to letting things take their course in everything, not forcing it. If it can't be solved now, put it down and talk about it later. If it were you, do you have my relaxed and comfortable state of mind?"

Chen Guanlou smiled, seemingly mocking the other party for having too many desires, and even if they obtained the opportunity, it would just be like that.

Zhang Daohe was speechless, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

He had been pursuing the martial path since he was young, and he knew too well how paranoid and bloodthirsty martial artists were, and going into demonic deviation was a common occurrence. He had seen many people who killed their wives and children to pursue the martial path, heading toward a dead end.

He had also seen martial artists who ate pills like meals; cultivating to the end, they were completely inseparable from pills, and without pills, they would die. The degree of paranoia was unimaginable to ordinary people, and even harder to understand.

Among martial artists in the world, those who could have Chen Guanlou's state of mind of letting things take their course were few and far between, worthy of being called a great freak!

Sure enough, not tolerated by secularity.

Sure enough, rebellious.

Very different!

Different means minority, minority means heresy, and heresy deserves to die. Unless there is powerful strength!

He laughed at himself. "I admire Brother Chen's state of mind. But I am ultimately just a vulgar person, with too many desires, unable to let things take their course, and unable to be as unhurried as you. I am now urgently wanting to obtain the opportunity. Brother Chen, how should we walk next?"

"Just walk forward directly. I have a premonition that the main tomb chamber is right ahead, not far." ===== CHAPTER 837 =====
