Chapter 101: Immortal Tomb

"An Immortal's tomb?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

Nowadays, the Immortals he heard of were the Immortals of Fenglan.

Could it be that these Immortals also had tombs?

Seeming to see Lin Chao's confusion, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master explained: "This Immortal's tomb is different from the Immortals of Fenglan.

Does Young Hero Qi know why Su Yunqiong is able to rule Dayan and create endless assassins?

The Three-Color Pavilion was destroyed, and the Wind and Rain Tower appeared.

Now, the Wind and Rain Tower has suffered a major blow to its vitality, but it won't be long before it likely recovers to its peak."

Lin Chao's gaze was calm; he did not answer, waiting quietly for what followed.

"This is because Su Yunqiong excavated an Immortal Tomb."

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master spoke, his voice sounding strange.

"It is rumored that our world was originally located at the edge of a Great World.

As a result, two Immortals fought a great battle, the Continent collapsed, and our world was left behind here.

In the end, the two Immortals exhausted their vitality and fell here, leaving behind only two Immortal Tombs.

One of these Immortal Tombs was discovered by Su Yunqiong.

Ten years ago, our Tianji Pavilion discovered the other Immortal Tomb."

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master watched Lin Chao as he spoke.

"You could have kept this Immortal Tomb for yourself; why tell me?" Lin Chao's eyes held a smile.

He was also somewhat curious in his heart.

In this world, there were quite a few legends about Immortals.

"Sigh." The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master let out a sigh, "Our Tianji Pavilion found the Immortal Tomb, but we are unable to enter.

There is a Gate in front of the Immortal Tomb, and after our many years of research, it requires a supreme expert to open it using supreme Martial Arts means.

Even a Grandmaster cannot open it.

A few years ago, the Three-Color Pavilion was wiped out, and I saw hope, so I have been looking for you, Senior, specifically to cooperate and open the Immortal Tomb together."

"Cooperate, you say?" Lin Chao said indifferently.

At this moment, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master immediately stepped forward: "My Tianji Pavilion is willing to serve you as our master, Senior."

The Iron Blood Hall Master spoke: "My Iron Blood Hall is also willing to serve you as our master, Senior!"

By this point, neither of the two was foolish.

This Qi Lin's strength was too great; even the legendary Heavenly Humans might not necessarily reach this level.

This was already close to a Martial Arts Myth, an Immortal.

Naturally, they were willing to pledge their loyalty and follow such a strong expert.

Moreover, if the Immortal Tomb were opened, and if they obtained many treasures, they could even reach a higher level.

It was rumored that Su Yunqiong of Dayan had obtained a powerful technique in an Immortal Tomb, his martial arts attainments progressing by leaps and bounds, and he could even retain his youth forever.

How could they not be envious?

At this moment, they were naturally willing to serve Lin Chao as their master.

Without Lin Chao, they could not open the Immortal Tomb at all.

Lin Chao looked at them, his gaze clear: "You may first organize the information about the Immortal Tomb and tell it all to me.

However, as for opening the Immortal Tomb, wait until I have wiped out Su Yunqiong before mentioning it again."

Opening the Immortal Tomb would certainly involve many variables.

Lin Chao's plan was to first wipe out Su Yunqiong's Dayan, unify the world, and make preparations before opening the Immortal Tomb.

As for Su Yunqiong having obtained an Immortal Tomb, Lin Chao was merely wary, not afraid.

If one were overly cautious about everything, many opportunities would be missed.

"As you command." The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master nodded.

He had already waited ten years; a few more years would not matter.

Lin Chao glanced at the few of them and walked out of the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, the Jubei King was in full armor; seeing Lin Chao, he was actually somewhat hesitant and wavering.

Was such a Martial Arts Myth really his grandson?

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face: "Grandfather."

Hearing this word 'Grandfather', all the hesitation and wariness on the Jubei King vanished, and he gave Lin Chao a fierce hug.

"You brat, you kept me in the dark for so long!" The Jubei King's voice was deafening.

"I just like peace and quiet." Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

"From now on, it won't be quiet." The Jubei King's gaze became sharp.

This time, Jubei City and Fenglan had formed an alliance, which almost declared one thing: the Jubei King was going to rebel.

"Since we are here, we shall settle in." Lin Chao was quite composed.

Suddenly, he looked at an old man behind the Jubei King: "I saw you last time; you didn't even have your shoes on properly."

Lin Chao remembered that day when he had just left Jubei City, over a hundred soldiers in armor had come, knelt on the ground, and shouted: Please, Young Master, restore our Wu'an, strengthen our Wu'an!

At that time, this old man was one of them, and his shoes were not even on properly.

The old man behind the Jubei King blushed: "Last time... last time..."

Beside him, a general said with a smile: "Young Master, I can testify, last time Lao Wang was not at the Chunle Courtyard."

The Chunle Courtyard was a place of brothels.

Lao Wang's face turned red instantly: "Old Li, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Lin Chao smiled.

The Jubei King looked at Lin Chao and spoke slowly: "Lin'er, this time you must return to Jubei City; I will announce your position as heir and have you married."

To be married, naturally, meant to be married to the Qingquan Princess.

"Very well." Lin Chao agreed calmly.

……

Half a month later.

Inside Jubei City, there were ten miles of red decorations, and the streets were filled with bright red and purple colors everywhere.

Lin Chao held Zhao Ran's arm: "It is a grievance to you, not giving you such a lively wedding."

Zhao Ran's cold and elegant face appeared even more beautiful under the sunlight: "These things are not important."

As she spoke, she held Lin Chao's arm even tighter.

"How is Su Yunqiong?" Lin Chao asked.

Before long, the Jubei Army would march toward Dayan.

He would also face Su Yunqiong head-on.

He knew that Zhao Ran was the daughter of the Old Blind Man and Su Yunqiong.

No matter what, Su Yunqiong was Zhao Ran's mother.

"She is... quite detestable." A flash of complexity passed through Zhao Ran's eyes, "My father died because of her; my husband must not let her off lightly."

"Naturally." Having received the answer, Lin Chao said nothing more.

Between husband and wife, there should be mutual respect.

If he wanted to kill Su Yunqiong, he would naturally inform Zhao Ran.

Just at this moment, two figures appeared.

The arrivals were none other than Qi Pinggui and Zhao Cui Yun.

But at this moment, their expressions were somewhat hesitant and conflicted.

"Mu'er, they all say you are the son of the Wu'an Lord, and the Jubei King is your grandfather." Qi Pinggui opened his mouth, gritting his teeth to say the words in his heart.

Beside him, Zhao Cui Yun also looked at Lin Chao with a worried and complex expression.

Seeing the two, Lin Chao sighed inwardly: "Father, in truth, you are the Wu'an Lord Qi Bai, only back then, you were hunted by enemies and lost your memory.

Mother, you are the daughter of the Jubei King, and like Father, you lost your memory."

Lin Chao felt that he was in a rather difficult position.

Originally, he could treat the puppets as he would his subordinates.

However, these two puppets were, after all, different.

"Is that true?" Qi Pinggui hesitated.

"Naturally, it is true."

……

Three days later.

The Jubei King proclaimed Qi Lin, son of the Wu'an Lord, as the new heir.

The Jubei King listed the "Empress Dowager's Twenty-Seven Crimes" and led his troops to purge the court.

On the same day, Lin Chao married the Qingquan Princess, Wu Xiangyi.

In the night, Lin Chao held the Luofan Sutra in his hands and began to read it slowly.

Wu Xiangyi looked at Lin Chao's profile, her face full of infatuation.

"Sir..."

"Are you still calling me Sir?" Lin Chao turned the page to the next one.

"Husband." Wu Xiangyi called out shyly.

Do not look at how she had stood in front of Lin Chao's bookstore for dozens of days back then.

But this young girl was, after all, still a young girl.

The red candles were blown out, the wedding dress slipped off, and Lin Chao held her soft body, caressing her, thinking of many things.

Wu Xiangyi's gaze was infatuated, and she also thought of all that had passed, as well as Lin Chao's strength.

She could not help but blurt out: "Please, husband, be gentle."

Lin Chao thought of Zhao Ran; if it were her, she would certainly say, "Please, husband, do not be gentle."

……

Five days later.

In the garden, Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi were enjoying the flowers together.

Zhao Ran stopped her steps and suddenly spoke: "Do you also have an Immortal Corpse Bone inside your body?"

Wu Xiangyi's body trembled slightly: "Sister, you have one too?"

Zhao Ran sighed: "Yes."

A look of pain flashed in Wu Xiangyi's eyes: "Does husband know?"

Zhao Ran shook her head: "Husband does not know."

Her husband's mind was exquisite.

Even if he knew through the Wind and Rain Tower that the Immortal Corpse Bone was in her, Zhao Ran's, possession.

Yet, her husband had never mentioned the Immortal Corpse Bone to her.

Her husband must know that she surely had secrets she could not tell.

"Please, sister, do not tell my husband about the Immortal Corpse Bone inside my body," Wu Xiangyi said, her gaze carrying a hint of pleading.

"Very well," Zhao Ran sighed.

The Immortal Corpse Bone that the world pursues can allow one to climb to the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

However, the Immortal Corpse Bone is an ominous object.

Once, in order to reach the Heavenly Human Realm, Meng Lie implanted an Immortal Corpse Bone into the body of a loved one.

By consuming their Essence Blood, he eventually reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

None of this appeared in the records.

And Meng Lie deceived everyone in Fenglan.

So much so that the Chongan Kingdom ruler believed that by implanting an Immortal Corpse Bone into a human body, that person might reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

In reality, these were all deceptions.

Those implanted with an Immortal Corpse Bone are all consumables.

They do not live past... thirty.

If I am to be a consumable, then I shall be my husband's consumable.

At this moment, Lin Chao walked in, a gentle smile on his face.

The expressions of Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi became natural.

"Husband."

Lin Chao looked at the two of them, his expression calm: "I am going to the desert and will likely return in five days."

Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi were somewhat puzzled, but still replied: "Husband, please take care in all things."

"Very well."

After spending some tender time with Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi, Lin Chao left the Heir's Mansion.

His gaze also became cold at this moment, radiating a dangerous aura.

"In the Tar Desert, a Fire person has appeared, with a body like charcoal, often self-immolating."

"A Heavenly Human?"

"An Immortal Corpse Bone?"

Lin Chao glanced at the mansion and let out a long sigh.

Having control over the Brocade Guards, he naturally knew the secrets of the Immortal Corpse Bone.

Since Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi were unwilling to tell him, fearing he would worry, he naturally would not expose it.

This time, the figure that appeared in the Tar Desert, after investigations from many sides, was very likely Meng Lie.

That Heavenly Human who suffered an ominous fate in his later years.

The piece of Immortal Corpse Bone on Wu Xiangyi's body was very likely Meng Lie's arm.

Meng Lie appearing in the Tar Desert might be for the sake of the piece of corpse bone inside Wu Xiangyi's body.

"I hope to find a way to break the Immortal Corpse Bone from him."

Lin Chao's gaze became stern.

After dealing with Meng Lie, he would go to deal with Su Yunqiong.

By then, the world would no longer be surnamed Yan.

The Immortal Tomb would also open at that time.

Lin Chao still had many things to do.

The family's rating was one aspect.

Another aspect was becoming stronger.

This also had many benefits for him in reality!
