Chapter 68

It was the sound of carriages and horses, and there were many of them.

How could there be a large number of carriages and horses in such a dangerous place as the Nine Li ancestral territory?

Under the night sky, eight gloomy banners led the way, and paper money flew. A long motorcade drove from far to near, passing along a paper money road about fifty steps away from Li Youyi.

The carriages were full of boys and girls.

The drivers were all wearing gray-white cloth robes.

Li Youyi counted carefully, and the number of carriages was as many as eighty-three.

In the carriage at the back, a middle-aged man pulled back the curtain, revealing a tall figure and a majestic face, and shouted to the front in a low voice: "Speed up, leave the ancestral territory as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man looked to be about fifty years old, and his appearance was four or five points similar to the Cang Li leader Li Songlin.

After the motorcade went far away and the sound gradually disappeared, Li Youyi lifted the Ghost Flag covering his body and was thoughtful: "Looking at the dress, it looks like people from the Cang Li tribe."

"Those who walk this paper money Yin road to enter and exit the ancestral territory should be people from the Cang Li tribe." Senior Stone Coffin said.

Li Youyi frowned and said: "It’s really strange, where did these children come from? Why are they being transported out from inside?"

"Continue forward, you should be able to find the answer." Senior Stone Coffin seemed to have already found the answer in his heart.

Continuing toward the Nine Li Divine Mountain for several hours, a light blue light gauze barrier arranged by a mental master appeared in front of Li Youyi.

Rising from the ground and connecting to the sky, there were mysterious scriptures floating on it.

Li Youyi swept over with the Nine Imperial Banner, the light gauze became thin, and the scene inside was revealed.

It was a rice field shrouded in mist, each rice plant was more than ten meters high, the rice ears at the top were full and crystal clear, and one could faintly see fetuses being nurtured inside.

Just looking at it, Li Youyi immediately put away the Nine Imperial Banner and sat on the ground, digesting the shock in his heart.

This kind of shock came from the depths of his heart, as if a point of human nature had been impacted.

People can actually be planted.

Senior Stone Coffin also fell into silence, and after a while, said: "Ren Rice has existed since ancient times, and is planted as food by some taboo demon kings and passing spirits. The human world has actually always been resistant to planting. A thousand years ago, several of us, including Chan Hai Guan Wu, held this attitude. So, the Lingxiao Life Realm has never dared to plant this thing."

"If I were still in charge of the Nine Li tribe and the Cang Li tribe, I would definitely have caught the people who stole the planting and punished them according to family law."

The voice in the stone coffin expressed anger in calmness.

Li Youyi smiled bitterly: "If the entire Lingxiao Life Realm is already like this, if the Nine Li tribe doesn't plant, they will fall behind other forces. Once they start internal strife, the upper limit of people will get higher and higher, but the lower limit will get lower and lower."

"The large-scale appearance of Rice People will inevitably seriously impact the values in people’s hearts; how can there not be war in this world?"

"If I had enough powerful cultivation, I would definitely not let the chaos continue like this." Then, he laughed at himself: "Haha, forget it, with my current cultivation, I can't even stand in this world, let alone talk about changing this world?"

Senior Stone Coffin said: "Youyi, I feel that you have almost found what you want!"

Li Youyi stood up, no longer looking at the rice field on the other side of the light gauze, carried the stone coffin, held the Nine Imperial Banner, and continued to walk toward the Nine Li Divine Mountain: "Becoming a God-Hidden Person as soon as possible and breaking through the Five Seas is the foundation of standing. Otherwise, in this vast world of wind and clouds, you can only drift with the tide, be an unknown person whose life is cheaper than grass, and don't even think about participating in it."

Three days later.

Li Youyi arrived at the Cang King Tomb.

The Cang King Tomb is a steep mountain peak a thousand meters high, located a dozen miles from the Nine Li Divine Mountain, with clouds and mist covering the mountain, and stone tablets and stone carvings can be seen everywhere.

The square in front of the mausoleum is full of various exotic coffins.

After the Cang Li tribe fishes for coffins, they don't sell them all.

Coffins that are strange enough will be sent to the Cang King Tomb for storage; now they don't understand and dare not open them, but future generations will definitely give birth to peerless heroes who can understand them.

On both sides of the divine path leading to the tomb gate, there are various tomb-guarding beasts such as stone horses, stone monkeys, and stone elephants, as well as sacrificial utensils such as stone lamps and stone tripods.

Senior Stone Coffin asked: "How many more days can the food you carry last?"

"Senior Spirit Tablet reminded me earlier, I am very well prepared, and if I calculate carefully, eating for a month is not a problem." As he said, Li Youyi took out a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth.

Senior Stone Coffin: "Very good, don't enter the tomb gate first. I will teach you a few insect texts, with your talent, you should be able to master them quickly."

Insect texts, like beast texts, scripture texts, spell texts, elixir texts, artifact texts... are not characters in the traditional sense, but means created by peerless mental masters. They are not written by hand, but by mental power, controlling spiritual light flames to outline and condense.

Insect texts are naturally a means to subdue and drive insects.

Li Youyi said: "Is the thing that Coffin Master wants me to take some kind of fierce insect? Or is there some kind of fierce insect in the tomb, and I must practice the insect-driving method?"

Senior Stone Coffin explained: "A thousand years ago, when I was at the peak of my cultivation before I died, I once broke into an Immortal Falling Realm and obtained a group of insect nests. There were seven insect eggs inside, conservatively estimated to be of the Lord level, and they were stored in the Cang King Tomb for nourishment; now they are cheap for you, kid!"

Li Youyi gasped.

You know, in the Lingxiao Life Realm, the ground is decided by human powerhouses and demon kings, but the underground is decided by the insect tribe.

The Ao Spider mastered by Master Qi of the Changlin Gang is only a soldier-level fierce insect. Even so, he still has the qualifications to be treated with courtesy by the gang leader.

Not every insect-driving master is very strong; after all, it depends on what level the insect group they master is.

But the identity of the strongest mental master in combat power of the same realm, the insect-driving master is definitely the strongest and most powerful contender.

Especially in this era of war, an insect-driving master with group attack ability has a higher status than any mental master.

Lord-level insects can already be listed in the "Strange Insect List." Because, as long as they are adults, they possess the strength of a Longevity Realm martial artist.

Seven, that is seven Longevity Realms.

If he could really become an insect-driving master who mastered seven Lord-level strange insects, then he wouldn't be a God-Hidden Person of the Nine Li tribe, who would be qualified to be?

You know, adult Lord-level strange insects can even transform into human shapes and have the ability to summon and command the underground insect tribe. Human cultivators must worship when they see them and respectfully call them "Lord Lord."

And what Senior Stone Coffin said was...

Conservatively estimated to be Lord level.

Li Youyi quickly recovered his calm from the shock and said: "A thousand years have passed, the insect eggs should have hatched long ago."

Senior Stone Coffin said: "Hatching eggs of this level is not that simple. At that time, I asked a very powerful insect-driving master in the Lingxiao Life Realm to help research and analyze, and using the small Heavenly Law Earth Spring in the Cang King Tomb for nourishment, it would take one or two thousand years to have a chance to hatch naturally."

"It was originally left for the Nine Li descendants as a foundation for the tribe. But the great war a thousand years ago came too suddenly, and there was no time to inform about this before it was guided away by the spatial power of the Lesser Yang Star."

Li Youyi said: "If they haven't hatched, wouldn't I have to wait for a few hundred years?"

Senior Stone Coffin smiled: "Natural hatching, the time is indeed hard to estimate. But after a thousand years of nourishment, there are some unnatural means that can ripen them to break their shells. The few things I asked you to buy, did you buy them all?"

"Fire Cloud Stone, Nine-Leaf Calamus, Blood Crystal..., after buying these things, I basically became a pauper again! That mansion in the suburbs was mostly taken back by the Yang Clan and the Changlin Gang."

Li Youyi took out the six items he bought according to Senior Spirit Tablet’s instructions one by one, feeling a bit depressed in his heart, secretly praying that Yang Yun would not die, that was his biggest asset. By the way, there were also Old Zhao’s 100,000 silver coins.

The stone coffin stood up again, using the coffin as a pen, writing insect texts on the ground.

Seven in total!

Each character is very complex, with more than thirty strokes, not looking like characters at all, but more like a painting, and it is a symbol painting without rules.

Senior Stone Coffin said: "Logically speaking, your Spirit Tablet master should teach you insect texts; she is an extremely powerful insect-driving master in the Lingxiao Life Realm. But these seven insect texts carved on the insect eggs are from my own hand, so only I can teach them."

"By the way! Insect texts, logically speaking, should be outlined into text imprints with spiritual light to teach you, but in my current state, I can only rely on writing, so it might be much harder for you to comprehend. But I believe in your talent... no problem!"

Li Youyi smiled bitterly, knowing that he was already a cultivation genius far beyond the pure immortal body in the hearts of his three masters.

While observing and remembering the insect texts on the ground, he said: "Coffin Master, if I hadn't cultivated spiritual light, wouldn't coming to the Cang King Tomb be a waste of time?"

Senior Stone Coffin said: "No, you could also use blood to outline insect texts directly on the insect eggs, and after they soak in, they would naturally recognize you as their master. However, in this way, the risk would increase greatly. For example, what if they had already hatched? You cultivate insect texts, and you have the means to subdue them, so the risk can be reduced to the lowest."

Li Youyi didn't say anything more, sat cross-legged, mobilized a wisp of spiritual light flame in the Indang Spiritual Realm, and used each flame light thread as a stroke to outline the insect texts.

The difficulty was indeed very great, and the spiritual light was almost exhausted without any substantial breakthrough.

He must nourish the spiritual light before trying again.

While nourishing the spiritual light, Li Youyi did not put down his martial arts, wanting to rush to open the seventh spring, the top of his head, as soon as possible. Avoid being chased and killed by Tang Yan, Xue Zheng, and others again after going out, and only being able to flee for his life.

The seventh spring represents the peak of the Spring-Gushing Realm, and most Five Seas Realm martial artists only have seven springs.

Such a peaceful cultivation environment now is really too precious.

Time flew by, and twenty days passed in a flash.

Li Youyi mastered all seven insect texts, and the barrier of the seventh spring also showed signs of loosening, and he wanted to make a one-time effort to rush it open in the next two days.

"Rustle!"

A cold wind blew from the forest, and his hair and clothes fluttered accordingly.

Li Youyi opened his eyes suddenly, sniffed, and smelled a faint, familiar fragrance in the wind: "It’s Li Ling! How did she come to the Cang King Tomb too?"

His five senses were keen, although not to the extent of being able to smell some special scents from dozens of kilometers away like a bear, but they were definitely not bad.

The voice in the stone coffin sounded: "She should really have a way to find you, perhaps it is the perception of the Ming Lamp Pointing Way, or perhaps it is another reason. Since it is an uncertain factor, don't let her participate. Go, enter the tomb now!"

Li Youyi agreed with Coffin Master’s point of view, everything was prepared, and he must not make any mistakes at this critical moment.

Carrying the stone coffin on his shoulder, holding the Nine Imperial Banner, he ran toward the two ten-zhang-high giant stone tomb gates at the end of the divine path.

As he got closer to the tomb gate, Li Youyi narrowed his eyes and found that there were two star maps on the gate, inlaid with a large number of silver and yellow gems as stars.

The one on the left looked very much like the Milky Way.

The one on the right also had a sense of familiarity, like the Yellow Spring Star River seen on the bronze ship.
