Chapter 496: Seeing the Tomb-Securing Treasure

~16 min read 3,008 words

One month later.

Long Xuan slowly opened his eyes in the space. After feeling the power all over his body, he sighed in his heart. Using the Twisting Jade once actually required a month of healing time; the price paid was truly miserable. From now on, this move must be used with caution.

Restored to his peak state, Long Xuan tightened his fists, finally feeling confident in his heart.

"A month has passed, and I don't know what the situation in the ancient tomb is. It's time to go out now."

Long Xuan withdrew his smile and finally got up and walked out of the space inside the Heaven-Devouring World Toad.

Just after coming out, the first thing he saw was Di Xin, who seemed to have been guarding by his side for a long time.

Seeing that he finally came out, Di Xin looked him up and down. After seeing that his injuries had recovered, she let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.

"You finally woke up. If you didn't wake up again, I was prepared to call you today."

"After a month, that group of Gu Kings has already cleared away the various dangers in the Cangyue Imperial Tomb. Today, Lan Yan will definitely be able to break through the sleeping hall. If we don't follow them, it will be too late."

Hearing this, Long Xuan immediately became energetic. It really is better to wake up early than to wake up at the right time. Waking up at this time is just right to go over and pick up the ready-made ones.

After a month of pathfinding by that group of Gu Kings, most of the mechanisms in the tomb had already been broken. He could walk all the way to the sleeping hall without any risk.

Long Xuan showed an excited smile: "I didn't expect this group of migrant workers to be so capable, actually being able to clear the Cangyue Imperial Tomb. I really don't know how to thank them."

Di Xin glanced at him sideways and smiled: "You must never underestimate them. The people who entered the Cangyue Imperial Tomb included all the powerhouses in the Imperial City, and even the heads of the eight great families were there. It was completely possible to clear the Cangyue Imperial Tomb."

"However, even if they cleared the Cangyue Imperial Tomb, the losses could never be small. According to my estimation, they have already lost more than 90% of the people in the tomb."

"At this time, there are not many people left alive in the tomb."

"The group of Lan family Gu cultivators who had been following us before, because they chose the most dangerous tomb passage, now only Lan Yan, a Gu King, is left. Don't you think it's miserable?" Di Xin smiled and said.

"Hehe! Only he, a Gu King, is left? Then it's easy to handle. We will each pretend to be a peak Gu King. Treasures are shared by those who see them. I believe that in front of two powerhouses of the same level, he will have to agree to the request of splitting the treasures equally. Hahaha..." Long Xuan laughed wildly.

"He is almost at the sleeping hall, right? Without further ado, let's follow him now."

Learning that there were not many living people left in the tomb, Long Xuan was overjoyed in his heart. Without wanting to delay any more time, he immediately walked toward the depths of the tomb passage.

At the same time, he also used the Seventy-Two Transformations to casually change into the appearance of a peak Gu King.

Di Xin's mouth hooked into a smile, following closely behind. At the same time, her appearance also changed immediately, and the aura of a peak Gu King was suddenly released.

As time passed, the two of them walked deeper and deeper. The closer they got to the direction of the sleeping hall, the more corpses there were on the ground. The surrounding area was a scene of tragic fighting, and the various mechanisms in the tomb passage had also suffered destructive damage.

It was the increasing number of corpses on the ground that exchanged for an absolutely safe passage for them.

However, although there were many corpses on the ground, the storage rings and storage bags on the corpses had already been taken away by others, and Long Xuan felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Not only that, the major tomb chambers connected by the tomb passage had also been looted. There were also corpses and traces left by fighting inside, but all the treasures inside had been searched clean, and not a single treasure was left for them.

This is the disadvantage of letting a large number of Gu Kings in. Although a large number of Gu Kings can break most of the dangers in the tomb for them, they will also search away most of the treasures in the tomb at the same time. This is also something that can't be helped.

Long Xuan searched a few tomb chambers unwillingly and didn't find a single treasure, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Slowly, when he encountered tomb chambers again, he only glanced at them and walked past, not intending to waste time in these empty tomb chambers.

The dangers in all the tomb passages had already been cleared, so the two of them walked fast. Not long after, they walked to the location of the sleeping hall.

It was a coincidence. At this time, Lan Yan had just broken the dangers in the sleeping hall at the cost of serious injury. Before he had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, he saw two peak Gu King powerhouses walking from behind. He suddenly had an urge to vomit blood, and his face was as ugly as it could be.

Although he had just broken the mechanisms in the sleeping hall, the price paid was absolutely not small. At this time, his injuries were extremely serious; how could he fight two peak Gu Kings at the same time?

He was completely numb at this time, cursing in his heart, how could it be such a coincidence? These two people didn't appear early or late, but appeared just after he solved the danger here. These two people really came at the right time; it was really a damn coincidence.

These two people didn't help at all, but wanted to split a large amount of his treasures. How could he be willing?

Lan Yan clenched his fists excitedly.

"Yo! What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see Brother Lan here. Treasures without owners are shared by those who see them. This is the rule since ancient times. Let's split the treasures in this coffin equally among the three of us. I think Brother Lan should have no opinion, right?"

Long Xuan stepped forward and said shamelessly.

Lan Yan's face was livid, and he was about to explode with anger in his heart.

But at this time, he really couldn't flare up. After the battle just now, his injuries were extremely serious. Once he tore his face with these two powerhouses of the same level, he would not only get no treasures, but might also lose his life here.

How could he dare to be impulsive? At this time, he could only suppress his anger and said after taking a deep breath: "The two of you are going too far, right? All the mechanisms here were broken by me, and I even suffered heavy casualties among my clansmen because of this."

"You didn't do anything, but you want to split the treasures equally with me. Where in the world is there such a cheap thing? You must not bully people too much!"

"The treasures in the coffin will be split 50-50 between our two sides. I will take 50% alone, and the remaining two of you will split it equally. This is my bottom line."

"If you don't agree, then let's see the real chapter on our hands!"

Lan Yan stared at the two of them, ready for battle.

However, at this time, he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Saying these things was just to bargain and get more benefits.

Long Xuan picked his ears and said like a rascal: "You said the mechanisms here were broken by you, so they were broken by you? Why didn't I see it?"

"I will never retreat a single step. The treasures in the coffin must be split equally among the three of us."

"If you don't agree, then the three of us will have a fight. If we kill you, then all these treasures will be ours."

"It's just that I'm worried that the fighting sound will attract other tomb robbers, or accidentally break the treasures in the coffin, that's why I kindly discussed with you. You must not be ungrateful!" Long Xuan's gaze sharpened, and he said very domineeringly.

In a situation of absolute advantage, most Gu Kings would be strong and domineering. He didn't want to attract Lan Yan's suspicion because of concessions.

"You!" Lan Yan was about to explode with anger when he heard this. He pointed at Long Xuan's nose, suppressing the urge to rush up and have a fight. However, Long Xuan's words reminded him that this matter must not be delayed and must be resolved peacefully as soon as possible, otherwise these two people could come, and more people might come later. Treasures are shared by those who see them, and his treasures would only be split less and less.

He suddenly became a little anxious and hurriedly said: "Okay! I agree to split equally. All the treasures here will be split equally among the three of us. Let's split the treasures immediately now, and no one should have any small thoughts anymore."

Saying these words, Lan Yan's heart was bleeding at this moment.

Looking at Lan Yan, who had a frustrated face, Long Xuan felt secretly refreshed and looked at Di Xin.

She hadn't spoken from beginning to end after entering the sleeping hall and had been looking in the direction of the coffin.

No, to be precise, she wasn't looking at the coffin. This coffin was placed on a towering ancient tree. At this time, Di Xin was looking at this tree.

Di Xin's gaze looking at this tree was very absent-minded, and her soul was wandering outside the sky. This was the first time Long Xuan had seen her in such a state. Obviously, the significance of this tree to her was very unusual.

Long Xuan followed her gaze and also looked at this tree. Seeing the infinite progress displayed above the ancient tree, his pupils shrank instantly.

At this moment, he finally knew what the other treasure in the ancient tomb that showed infinite progress was.

It was actually the Samsara Ancient Tree. The tomb-securing treasure in the ancient tomb was actually the Samsara Ancient Tree, one of the ten great divine trees.

Good fellow, he actually found another one of the ten great divine trees in his lifetime. This luck was simply heaven-defying.

At this time, the Heaven-Devouring World Toad was already frantically struggling in his insect-breeding bag. It had already smelled the aura of a peerless treasure. The ten great divine trees could be considered the heaven-defying treasures that provided the most treasure Qi. Seeing this object, how could the Heaven-Devouring World Toad not be excited?

Long Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Di Xin, and then glanced at the Samsara Ancient Tree, feeling thoughtful in his heart.

He thought of the mural he saw in the Empress's ancient tomb.

Samsara Ancient Tree, Samsara Ancient Kingdom, that Di Clan Dynasty, would Di Xin have any connection with this Samsara Ancient Tree?

The secret that the Emperor of the Samsara Ancient Kingdom could infinitely reincarnate with memories, would it have anything to do with this Samsara Ancient Tree?

Long Xuan quickly shook his head. Although he had many questions in his heart at this time, now was not the time for him to be curious about these things.

"The treasures in the coffin will be split equally among the three of us, and we will also split the Samsara Ancient Tree equally among the three of us. I think you have no opinion, right!"

"There are a total of twelve Samsara Fruits on the Samsara Ancient Tree. The tree counts as six Samsara Fruits. We will take away the Samsara Ancient Tree and six Samsara Fruits, and the remaining six Samsara Fruits will belong to you. Do you have any opinion on my distribution?" Long Xuan looked at Lan Yan and said.

With Medicine Gu, any kind of spirit medicine can be transplanted, and more Samsara Fruits can also be ripened. Therefore, at this time, he preferred to want a whole Samsara Ancient Tree. It was just that he didn't know if Di Xin had any ideas about this Samsara tree. Long Xuan looked at her.

Seeing his gaze looking over, Di Xin tacitly understood the meaning in his eyes, shook her head, and transmitted her voice: "I'm not sure I can plant the Samsara Ancient Tree alive. Let's just take those six Samsara Fruits."

"The Three-Legged Golden Toad you improved can absorb the treasure Qi in living treasures. This Samsara Ancient Tree is the greatest help to you."

Hearing this, Long Xuan knew that Di Xin was doing a favor, so he didn't refuse.

At this time, on the other side, Lan Yan showed a tangled expression. The value of a whole Samsara Ancient Tree seemed to be higher than six Samsara Fruits.

But at this time, he had the same concerns as Di Xin. The rarer the spirit medicine, the harder it was to plant. He really wasn't sure that he could successfully plant the Samsara Fruit Tree in his own medicine garden after transplanting it.

If he failed to transplant it, then he would really be fetching water with a bamboo basket and would get nothing. It was better to just want six Samsara Fruits, which was more practical and didn't need to bear any risks.

He took a deep breath and finally decided to accept the other party's proposal, saying in a deep voice: "Just do as you say."

"However, the coffin is on this tree. Let's split the treasures in the coffin first!"

Lan Yan looked at the black coffin on the tree branch, showed an excited gaze, couldn't help it anymore, and walked over quickly.

Seeing this pathfinding stone approaching the coffin without encountering any danger, Long Xuan and Di Xin felt relieved and slowly approached.

At this time, he finally examined this coffin. The coffin was pitch black, and he didn't know what material was used. Even the strongest soul power couldn't investigate the situation in the coffin.

Many mysterious runes were carved on the coffin, and the most conspicuous place was written with a line of words: Tomb robbers, please retreat on your own after seeing this line of words. Those who move the coffin will have their nine clans exterminated.

Seeing this line of words, Long Xuan was startled and hurriedly stopped his steps.

He had always been cautious by nature. Before he was sure whether this sentence was true or false, he, who cherished his life, really didn't dare to act rashly.

Long Xuan frowned deeply. It wasn't that he hadn't thought that this line of words might just be used to scare people, with the purpose of preventing tomb robbers from robbing his tomb. How could a dead person have the ability to exterminate nine clans?

If he was really scared by this sentence, then the treasures in the coffin might be destined to miss him.

But at this time, he really couldn't be bold. It had to be said that this sentence left by the tomb owner could really scare someone like him who was timid and cherished his life. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance that this sentence was true, he absolutely wouldn't dare to gamble.

At this time, Lan Yan and Di Xin also saw this sentence and stopped their steps together.

Di Xin frowned slightly and didn't act rashly.

And Lan Yan, after being stunned, quickly hooked his mouth and said disdainfully: "Exterminate nine clans for tomb robbers? Who are you scaring? Do you really think your grandfather was scared to grow up?"

"You, a person who has been dead for I don't know how many tens of thousands of years, can you still crawl up? I'll rob your tomb, so what? I want to see how you exterminate my nine clans!"

Hearing this, Long Xuan looked at him with a strange expression and had to sigh that there really were bold people.

Sure enough, it was correct to find a group of Gu King cannon fodder to find the path. There were plenty of people who dared to do what he didn't dare to do.

Long Xuan subconsciously retreated far away and hurriedly retreated outside the sleeping hall, fearing that after the coffin lid was lifted by Lan Yan, unpredictable dangers would appear.

Lan Yan turned his head back, and after seeing his strange actions, showed a look of disdainful smile and mocked: "What a coward!"

"Can't you see? This sentence is just used to scare people. Many ancient tomb owners will leave a similar sentence, cursing those who rob his tomb. This sentence is used to scare away tomb robbers; it doesn't work at all."

"Cowards who are scared away can only miss the opportunity in vain, while the bold ones have all made a fortune."

"What are you afraid of a dead person? Can this tomb owner who has been dead for I don't know how many tens of thousands of years still fake a corpse and exterminate your whole clan? What a joke!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 497 =====
