Chapter 86

Lin Xian calculated everything, but miscalculated two points. One was that he didn't expect the old Saint of the Ji family to also go into seclusion, causing the alliance to lose a big shot whose words carried weight, leading to various parties carving out territories and pulling at each other.

The other point was even more important: he didn't expect that the *Shrouding the Heavens* cultivators were truly stubborn, possessing the courage of a second-immortal Great Power to vow to fight for a lifetime of immortality.

After the two Saints went into seclusion, they still dared to engage in small actions in the dark.

This is the *Shrouding the Heavens* great universe, where the word 'struggle' runs through everything.

If it were any other immortal cultivation universe, the younger generation would absolutely not dare to violate the ancestors' decrees.

"People of *Shrouding the Heavens*." As soon as Lin Xian thought of this, he, who was still struggling, was immediately relieved.

Cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can have low cultivation and weak combat power, but their heads must be stubborn, and they must know how to talk trash.

"Perhaps they are relying on the fact that their surname is Ji." Ye Fan sighed slightly: "Flowing with similar blood, even if the Ji family Saint comes out of seclusion, can he really kill them?"

"Without causing bloodshed, the Saint will at most reprimand them."

"It is still because I am not strong enough; the Heavenly Pivot Sacred Ground is too weak." Lin Xian shook his head: "If Heavenly Pivot had a Great Power, it wouldn't be in a situation where it is being slaughtered at will."

A Sacred Ground with a gap in combat power and a lack of successors—this is the root cause. Once the Heavenly Pivot Saint, the Old Madman, goes into seclusion, there are only a few disciples left.

Saint Master Lin Xian is in the Dao Palace realm, Saint Son Ye Fan is in the Other Shore realm, and Saint Daughter Jiang Tingting has just entered the Bitter Sea. Although they possess infinite potential, potential is not strength after all.

Before geniuses become strong, they must learn to bow their heads and submit to reality.

Even the Tai Xuan Gate is stronger than the current Heavenly Pivot Sacred Ground and can walk between the two lineages.

"I will go pick up little Tingting first." Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said decisively: "In a few days, we will find an opportunity to leave Tai Xuan Gate."

Strength has the benefits of strength, and weakness has the convenience of weakness.

The Heavenly Pivot Sacred Ground only has a few people; there is no need to worry about those bottles and jars, and they can run away at any time.

Ye Fan is the source of the storm; only when he is far away will the anger between the alliances subside a little.

And Lin Xian is going to sponge off opportunities.

Let Ye Fan study hard and become a generation of Source Heaven Masters, and he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, getting something for nothing, and enjoying the benefits brought by the Source Heaven Master.

One must know that a miner is ultimately inferior to a mine owner.

Wandering around Tai Xuan for a few days, Ye Fan was challenged again. This time it was not a Zhuofeng disciple, nor a member of the Ji family, but geniuses from various sects who came because of the rumors of the Saint's tomb.

Ye Fan's reputation spread through the Tai Xuan small meeting, and with the certification of the Ji family's God King Body, he could be said to be famous in the Eastern Wasteland.

They did not know about the existence of the Heavenly Pivot Saint and only thought Ye Fan was a Zhuofeng disciple.

In a battle at the same level, Ye Fan's record was not inferior to anyone.

Some busybodies listed Ye Fan's name alongside the Saint Daughter of the Yaoguang Sacred Ground, Hua Yunfei of the Star Peak, Yan Ruyu of the demon race, Li Youyou of the Xiaoyao Gate... these young talents.

Of course, some people refuted, believing that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is just a waste body and can only be fierce under the Four Extremes and can never become great.

Amidst the clamor, Lin Xian first visited the Zhuofeng elder Li Ruoyu, then talked with the Master of the Star Peak, and occasionally chatted with the Tai Xuan Sect Master.

The demon race Great Power and the Ji family experts were making trouble here, and they were the most anxious.

Previously, there was a Saint suppressing and an Emperor weapon deterring, so they could only obey; now they were eager to throw away the hot potato.

To avoid the storm escalating again.

Finally, Lin Xian found Hua Yunfei and Duan De.

"So you are the leader of the Great Love Immortal Alliance." Duan De suddenly realized and gritted his teeth: "I was wondering how someone could know Daoist me so well; so you set a trap!"

"You villain, return Daoist me to freedom."

As he said this, Duan De sacrificed a divine weapon from a tomb and was about to kill him, but Lin Xian was unhurried and said calmly: "You don't want to dig the Ming Emperor's tomb anymore?"

"This..." Duan De stopped in his tracks for a moment, hard-controlled for three seconds.

"And the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable's tomb."

"Source Emperor's tomb..."

Lin Xian listed them like family treasures: "I know all these great tombs; is the Daoist not tempted?"

"Besides, during these days, our Great Love Immortal Alliance has not treated the Daoist badly, right?"

Duan De pondered for a long time, his expression incredibly complex, and finally sighed.

At first, when Duan De was tricked up the mountain, he was still unconvinced, but when he learned that the Great Love Immortal Alliance was looking for him to carry out a great archaeological cause, he was like a different person, forgetting to eat and sleep, full of spirit.

With ancient books provided by the Green Emperor, Tai Xuan, and the Ji family, Duan De conducted research, Hua Yunfei hid behind the scenes to devour the origin of the dead, and finally, the wealth in the tomb was divided equally, forming an industrial chain.

The big shots of several families wished they could treat Duan De as an honored guest; if it weren't for the fact that this business couldn't see the light of day, they would have already stepped in personally.

"What are these tombs now? They are just small troubles." Lin Xian said solemnly: "The days of our cooperation are still long, Daoist; don't lose the big for the small."

"Hahaha, what is Brother Lin saying!" Duan De's expression changed, and he laughed immediately, holding Lin Xian's hand and being incredibly intimate: "I felt incredibly close to Brother Lin the moment I saw you. You and I are great talents in the archaeological world; how can we conflict and let outsiders get the benefit."

"Come, come, come, tell me quickly, where is the Emperor's tomb?"

"That's right." Lin Xian said earnestly: "I am going to step on the Purple Mountain in the Northern Region next; there are clues to the Emperor's tomb there. If there are traces of prying it open, I will notify the Daoist immediately."

"Purple Mountain... this name sounds familiar." Duan De muttered, then his expression changed drastically, and he lowered his voice: "Wu Shi?"

"Indeed." Lin Xian said with a mysterious expression: "Does the fellow Daoist not want to participate in such a thing?"

"I hope Brother Lin will definitely take me with you." Duan De was incredibly excited. After catching a glimpse of the two words 'Purple Mountain' from ancient books, he had been thinking about it constantly. He didn't expect Lin Xian to really have clues.

"I can take you, but..." Lin Xian paused and raised his finger, signaling one or two.

Duan De immediately understood, then said with a pained expression: "How many treasures from the tomb do you want?"

"I don't want any." Lin Xian coughed and said: "I want the scriptures and divine arts left by the tomb owner."

"Deal!" Duan De nodded quickly and agreed. Scriptures and divine arts are the least valuable things and can be copied countless times.

Hua Yunfei eats the origin, Duan De gets the treasure, and he himself gets the divine arts for free. Everyone has a bright future.

This, perhaps, is the meaning of archaeology, Lin Xian sighed, and again hooked shoulders and backs with Duan De, calling each other brothers.

Hua Yunfei sighed lightly when he saw this, only feeling that he was the only normal person.

Often feeling out of place with you two because I am not perverted enough.

Although he also digs graves and eats corpses, he feels that he is still a good person, unlike these two whose hearts are black.

"When is the fellow Daoist planning to leave?" Hua Yunfei asked.

"Tomorrow!" Lin Xian was incredibly decisive. Delay leads to changes; the faster, the better.

Hua Yunfei was thoughtful. The next day, he let Duan De report the news of discovering a great tomb and invited the big shots of several families to discuss it.

Ye Fan, as usual, accepted challenges from cultivators from all directions, golden blood and energy surging, but the battlefield gradually deviated from Tai Xuan and moved toward more distant areas.

Lin Xian and Yan Ruyu took Jiang Tingting out for a stroll, as if they were a family of three.

Walking to an immortal peak, the mountains were beautiful and the scenery was lovely. Yan Ruyu looked at the clouds rising and falling, and suddenly said with a tacit understanding: "Are you really leaving?"

"Do not worry about scarcity but about inequality; do not worry about poverty but about instability." Lin Xian said meaningfully: "If we stay here, we are the source of chaos; people's hearts are moving."

"The seniors have no malice." Yan Ruyu said softly: "Everything can still be discussed."

"Look, what is that." Lin Xian smiled calmly, pointing to the magnificent mountains and rivers before him.

In the distance, the great mountains were majestic, the immortal rivers were surging, magnificent without losing beauty, silver waterfalls like silk, clouds and mist flying, like an immortal mirror.

"The mountains and rivers are like a painting..." Yan Ruyu said thoughtfully.

"Wrong." Lin Xian said with a trace of firmness in his calmness, standing with his hands behind his back: "It is My mountains and rivers that are like a painting!"

A strange look appeared on Yan Ruyu's face. She had never thought that Lin Xian would speak like this. She felt as if she had re-recognized this person.

"Let's go!"

Lin Xian carried Jiang Tingting on his back, waved his hand, and strode forward, stepping on the 'Xing' secret method, flying toward another area where there were pre-drawn void Dao patterns that could cross space.

Yan Ruyu looked at the ethereal figure for a long time, watching him go away, running toward the morning sun.

"Ye Fan, wind is tight, pull out!" Lin Xian suddenly raised his head and roared: "Do it!"

"The point is tricky, Saint Master, save me!" Ye Fan shouted, golden blood and energy surging, wanting to shake off his opponent, but was stuck tightly.

"Go you!" Lin Xian performed the Great Void Art, circled behind Ye Fan, and kicked the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body with a left front kick, landing on the central array pattern.

"You go too!" Lin Xian flashed again, stepping on the 'Xing' secret method, and kicked Ye Fan's opponent away, like kicking a ball, kicking him on the butt.

Yan Ruyu, not far away, looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake her head, laughing softly, beautiful beyond compare, like a lotus flower blooming.

Sure enough, it is Lin Xian's style.

"All the way..."

Rumble, a huge sound broke the sky.

Tai Xuan Gate discovered that several shocking divine powers had erupted. Several Ji family experts rushed out in anger. Playing with void formations in front of them was like playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong. The most annoying thing was that Lin Xian was almost successful!

"Stop them!" A Ji family Great Power gave the order.

"Buzz!"

A starlight shone down from the Star Peak, blocking several Ji family experts.

"What do you want to do?" The Ji family Great Power said angrily.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be impatient; come down and have a cup of tea." An old voice sounded on Zhuofeng, seemingly calm but omnipresent.

"Several from the demon race." The Ji family Great Power turned and shouted: "You just let them cross the void like this."

Several demon race experts had strange movements, wanting to fly over to stop them.

"Eastern Wasteland demon race, are you still willing to obey the Green Emperor's orders now?"

However, a voice like heavenly music sounded. Yan Ruyu didn't know when she had returned. She held the Chaos Green Lotus and said calmly: "Several seniors, seeing the lotus is seeing the Emperor."

Several demon race experts hesitated, and laughter sounded in the distance.

"A leaf of the red dust can cover the sky, crossing the void for ten thousand years!"

"Bye-bye!"

Rumble, the void Dao patterns intertwined, the formation started, a divine rainbow soared into the sky, crossed the void, and spanned the two sides.

"Why go to such lengths!" A Ji family expert sighed. They had no murderous intent and did not intend to break the alliance.

"I didn't agree with you doing this at the beginning; how can I explain it to the Saint ancestor now!"

An old man of the Ji family from the Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue lineage snorted coldly: "Even the Heavenly Pivot Saint Master has run away; the alliance has become a joke."

"We just suppressed the Sacred Body; he got too many resources, which will affect the growth of your and my descendants." The Ji family expert had a headache and said helplessly: "I didn't expect the Heavenly Pivot Saint Master to be so fierce, running away with the Saint Son and Saint Daughter."

"Didn't the Saint ancestor say that this Heavenly Pivot Saint Master has a peaceful personality and is easy to talk to, and is a person of non-action."

"Only by non-action can one do everything." The voice of Li Ruoyu sounded on Zhuofeng, calmly: "Follow the Great Dao, take the world often by doing nothing; when there is something to do, it is not enough to take the world."

"If you can get what you want, why move."

"This is stillness!"
