Chapter 36: Immortal Venerable's Tomb

**Chapter 36: Immortal Venerable's Treasure**

###**I. Blood Moon Phenomenon, Immortal Venerable Stele Appears**

The ninth blood moon of the Beihuang Xueyuan suddenly shattered, the fragments falling like rain into the Spirit-Devouring Vine Sea. When Lin Jin waved his sleeve to shake away the vines, a moon fragment embedded itself into the Ancestral Dragon's remains, etching a star map onto the dragon spine—the position of the Big Dipper in the map was exactly the location of the tomb of the "Star River Immortal Venerable" who had fallen one hundred thousand years ago!

"Twenty years of bone age, just enough to enter the Immortal Tomb..."

The golden inscriptions seeping from the bone cracks scorched his fingertips. Lin Jin suddenly remembered Xiaoyaozi's drunken words: "Kid, your birthday happens to be the day chaos split. This game... was set for you from birth."

###**II. Surrounded by Wolves, Heavenly Prides Competing**

In three days, the Primordial Desolation changed drastically. The Xuantian Sect brought out the "Chaos Flying Ship," loaded with poison-path Heavenly Prides under the age of twenty; the Nether Hall opened the Blood Pool secret technique, reversing the bone age of a hundred Shadow Hunters to their prime; Reverse Scale City was even more ruthless, Ao Hui personally beheading three overage dragon sons, using dragon blood to irrigate young dragon death soldiers who met the qualifications.

####**Heavenly Pride Roster**

-**Xuantian Sect**: Saintess Qu Wulei, eighteen years old, proficient in three thousand poisonous Gu, the souls of those who died under her skirt could fill the Fog Sea.

-**Nether Hall**: Young Hall Master Ye Xiao, nineteen years old, refined the "Ghost Shadow Escape" with Thunder Savage skin, only sixteen when he killed his father to take the position.

-**Reverse Scale City**: Dragon Girl Ao Li, seventeen and a half years old, Ao Tian's direct granddaughter, the Reverse Scale Mirror had recognized her as its master and could reflect the three-life flaws of enemies.

-**Witch Clan Remnants**: Wu Yao's younger brother Wu Ming, exactly twenty years old, used his life-bound Gu "Time-Eroding Insect" to freeze his own bone age, stealing heaven and changing fate.

###**III. Tomb Gate Trick, Life and Death Bone Age**

The Immortal Venerable's tomb hung above the Thunder Abyss, nine bronze chains piercing through the corpses of Primordial Desolation fierce beasts. The tomb gate was engraved with a star river chessboard, the pieces all being human-shaped grooves.

"Those who enter the game, measure your bone age."

The Immortal Venerable's residual thought came from the void. Ye Xiao stepped out first, but his Thunder Savage skin was sucked into the chessboard, turning him into a dried corpse—his secret technique of reversing bone age had backfired, instantly aging him like withered wood!

Ao Li sneered and threw out the Reverse Scale Mirror. The mirror light swept over Wu Ming. The Time-Eroding Insect shrieked and exploded, Wu Ming's right arm turning into white bone: "Twenty years and three hours... do you even deserve to compete?"

###**IV. Star Chess Trial, Jin Breaks the Heavenly Secret**

Lin Jin made the final move, and the chessboard suddenly collapsed into a star river illusion. There were three trials, each one targeting the heart:

**Trial 1: Asking the Immortal**

Qu Wulei's poisonous Gu transformed into a beautiful skin, wrapping around Lin Jin's neck: "Burning the heavens with Burial Fire is so boring, why not cultivate the poison path with me?"

Lin Jin used his fingers to slash through the illusion, incinerating all the poisonous Gu: "If the Immortal Venerable's tomb only has these tricks, it's laughable."

**Trial 2: Kin-Slaying**

Ao Li's Reverse Scale Mirror reflected the scene of Ling Yue dying: "Brother, save me..."

Just as the Burial Fire was about to touch the mirror surface, Lin Jin suddenly turned the flame tip and stabbed it into his own heart: "Although the illusion is fake, the killing intent is real—this trial, I break my own delusions!"

**Trial 3: Burying Oneself**

The star river condensed into a coffin, and inside lay the corpse of the twenty-year-old Lin Jin: "Enter this coffin, and you can obtain eternal life."

He laughed loudly, flipped the coffin lid, and refined the corpse into firewood for his Burial Fire: "Immortal Venerable, your eternal life... is not as satisfying as my moment of pain!"

###**V. Immortal Venerable's Legacy, Chaotic Star Core**

Suspended in the center of the tomb chamber was the remains of the Star River Immortal Venerable, with the "Star Core" from when chaos first opened embedded in its chest. The moment Lin Jin touched the Star Core, nine-colored thunder tribulation descended from the Primordial Desolation sky—

"Those who fuse with the Star Core before the age of twenty shall be the Child of Chaos!"

The Immortal Venerable's residual thought turned into light rain, and three supreme treasures flew out from the Star Core:

1. **Star River Crown**: Can summon the power of the nine blood moons to suppress and kill Immortal Emperors.

2. **Time Shuttle**: Reverses time by ten breaths, limited to three times a day.

3. **Burial Fire Robe**: Woven with star river as thread, it reshapes the Coffin Keeper's destiny and isolates the erosion of Void Poison.

###**VI. Heavenly Prides Bleed, Primordial Desolation Submits**

Outside the tomb, it had already turned into a purgatory of slaughter. Qu Wulei's poisonous Gu array trapped Ao Li, and Ye Xiao's remnants took the opportunity to sneak attack, but Wu Ming released the Time-Eroding Insects to freeze the battle.

When Lin Jin stepped out of the tomb gate, the Star River Crown illuminated the bloody battlefield: "Is this what you were all fighting for?"

Ye Xiao transformed into a thunder shadow to attack, but was fixed for ten breaths by the Time Shuttle. The Burial Fire Robe swept over, and the Nether Hall's Young Master was reduced to ash; Qu Wulei detonated her life-bound Gu, but the poisonous mist was sucked into the Star River Crown and turned into brilliant stardust; Ao Li's Reverse Scale Mirror reflected Lin Jin's destiny—it was a piece of chaos, scaring the Dragon Girl into kneeling and offering the mirror.

"Tell Ao Hui..." Lin Jin crushed the Reverse Scale Mirror, the power of the Star Core collapsing a thousand miles of blood plains, "Before sunrise tomorrow, I want to drink wine on the walls of Reverse Scale City."

###**Finale: Young Supreme, Hidden Foreshadowing**

Wu Ming knelt and offered the Time-Eroding Insect: "Master, although the Star Core is strong, there is... something missing in the Immortal Venerable's tomb."

He pointed to the mural in the tomb chamber—the Immortal Venerable's left hand should have been holding the Star River Sword, but it was empty.

The Sea of Chaos suddenly surged, and Xiaoyaozi's bamboo raft broke through the waves, the missing Star River Sword stuck firmly in the bow!

"Good grand-disciple, this sword is a dowry I kept for you..."

The drunken words scattered with the wind, but the tip of the Star River Sword dripped with Ling Yue's blood. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
