Chapter 379: The Immortal Tomb Opens, the Mysterious Tomb Keeper

The newcomers were precisely the numerous heavenly prodigies of Qingyun Sect.

"Yeah, there are quite a few people here; it looks like we're the last batch to arrive."

Shi Hao, leading the group, glanced down and spoke.

"Hehe, didn't our master always say the protagonists make their entrance last?"

"Let's go, let's head down."

The arrival of the Qingyun Flying Carriage caused many heavenly pride below to whisper among themselves.

"Look at their immortal ship—Qingyun Immortal Sect? Which faction is this?"

"With such a grand display, logically I, as a young master, shouldn't be unaware of it."

"Exactly, look—their faces are all unfamiliar; I haven't seen a single one of them before."

Heavenly pride from major powers usually know each other, let alone their sect's fame.

Unless they are from a deeply hidden secluded sect.

"Exactly! A hidden secluded sect! That's right."

This was the result reached after discussion among many heavenly pride.

"Three fellow Daoists, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for a long time."

After Shi Hao and the others landed, an excited voice followed.

Hearing this, Shi Hao frowned slightly—it was Chen Mu.

"Fellow Daoist, you've arrived late, haha."

Clad in black, with a face like a jade crown, Chen Mu stepped forward, smiling as he spoke.

Behind him followed a dozen or so heavenly pride of the Chen Immortal Clan.

They felt quite astonished by their young master's actions.

When did the young master befriend these nobodies?

However, they dared not say more.

"Not late, not late; good food fears no lateness."

"Besides, the Immortal Tomb hasn't opened yet—why rush?"

Lin Bai stepped forward, shielding his junior sister Hua behind him with a laugh, and spoke.

"Exactly, exactly; fellow Daoist, you're right."

"Anyway, the Immortal Tomb hasn't opened yet, so there's no need to rush."

Seeing this, Chen Mu could only follow along with a forced smile, his desire growing stronger.

"It's coming soon! It's coming soon! Just hold on a bit longer!"

The remaining heavenly pride on the field, seeing this, became even more puzzled.

"Isn't that the young master of the Chen Immortal Clan?"

"Does he know the heavenly pride from the Hidden World Sect?"

"Hiss! If that's the case, the people of the Hidden World Sect are even more not to be provoked."

"After all, those who can befriend Young Master Chen surely have formidable backing."

"Hiss! So handsome!"

On another side, an untimely voice sounded.

Everyone heard the voice again, looked over, and then silently withdrew their gazes.

In their hearts, they silently prayed for the heavenly pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Being stared at by that seductive demoness Xiao Qing, they were doomed—only hoping for luck.

"Che brother, look at the leading heavenly pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect—handsome, right?"

"And that one beside him! The sword-bearing youth—tsk tsk, truly handsome; this goddess likes him."

On the Harmony Bliss Immortal Sect's side, the goddess Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance as she spoke excitedly.

"Tsk tsk, if we drain those two, our cultivation would surely advance greatly!"

Xiao Che: "As long as Sister Qing likes them, but the women behind them aren't bad either—spot on."

Xiao Che licked his tongue.

"Alright, then once we enter the Immortal Tomb, we'll each take what we need."

Xiao Qing nodded.

On another side, the location of the heavenly pride of the Dream Moon Immortal Kingdom.

Meng Xue watched Chen Mu approach and converse with Shi Hao and the others, her heart growing anxious.

Now, with the Chen surname person beside them, it's inconvenient to speak up.

Once we enter the Immortal Tomb, we must definitely remind the heavenly pride of the immortal sect.

Meng Xue thought to herself.

……

After two and a half ke passed.

The bright sky suddenly darkened, and wind and clouds surged instantly above the calm void.

At the same time, an ancient voice sounded within the two Dao realms.

"The time has come; another era has passed—the seas have turned to fields, and time flies like a white colt passing a gap."

"Recalling the Immortal Fall Era, foreign creatures ruthlessly invaded our Tianyun and Ziyu two great Dao realms; the immortals rose in resistance and ultimately prevailed."

"Yet immortals can also fall; their immortal bodies, their inheritances, everything was buried in the Tianhuang Immortal Tomb, blessing the heavenly pride of the two realms generation after generation."

"Now I declare: in this era, the Tianhuang Immortal Tomb is opened!"

As that aged voice faded, two massive vortices appeared respectively at the boundary of the two domains.

Seeing this, the heavenly pride on both sides became excited.

The Ancient Wasteland Immortal Tomb has opened!

Immediately they all rose up and flew into the vortex.

On the Purple Feather Dao Region side, the heavenly pride of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect gathered.

"Divine Son, the immortal tomb has opened; let's go in."

A heavenly pride of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect spoke.

Hearing that, Divine Son Mo Yu nodded.

Before entering, he glanced ahead into the depths.

"Azure Cloud Immortal Sect's trash, this Divine Son has arrived."

……

Not long after, as all the heavenly pride entered the immortal tomb, the entrances of the two immortal tombs also closed accordingly.

On the open ground at the boundary of the two great Dao regions, tranquility was restored as well.

Not far from the boundary, there is an immortal peak, atop which stands a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Grandpa, why can't Feng'er enter the immortal tomb?"

Inside the thatched hut, a youth about seventeen or eighteen years old spoke, puzzled.

"Feng'er, didn't I tell you? Because we are tomb keepers."

"Tomb keepers may not enter the immortal tomb; this is our rule."

Before the youth stood an old man with an immortal wind and dao bone appearance; the old man's face showed a kind expression as he rubbed the youth's head and said.

Upon close listening, the old man's voice was exactly the same as the aged voice that had echoed through the two domains before the immortal tomb opened.

"Alright, Feng'er understands."

The youth nodded, feeling dejected.

At the same time, within the Azure Immortal Sea, the Azure Cloud Sect.

Feng Qingyang, who was sipping tea atop the Azure Cloud Immortal Peak, heard the system's cold mechanical voice in his mind.

【"Ding, a suitable disciple candidate has been detected; please, my lord, accept him as a disciple to complete and obtain the reward."】

【Lin Feng: Realm: True Immortal Second Layer】

【Bone Age: Eighteen】

【Talent: Dao Annihilation Immortal Body, disposition: excellent】

【Identity: Grandson of the Dark Night Immortal Emperor, tomb keeper of the Ancient Wasteland Immortal Tomb, future tomb keeper.】

"Oh? After so many years, another disciple-taking mission has been issued?"

"Ancient Wasteland tomb keeper, isn't that the immortal tomb that Shi Hao and company are heading to? What a coincidence? Interesting."

"However, this Lin Feng's grandfather's identity is not simple—Dark Night Immortal Emperor? Immortal Emperor titan!"

"Looks like I'll have to employ the art of deception... the great method of sincerity."

Thinking this, Feng Qingyang made up his mind, and with a thought, he vanished from the spot.

……

At the same time.

Inside the Ancient Wasteland Immortal Tomb.

An ancient, vicissitudes-laden aura permeated.

The scorched black earth and shattered horizon spoke of the cruelty of that battle.

A blood-colored setting sun hung in the horizon, an indescribable atmosphere filled the place.

"Senior Brother, what do you think Chen Mu is up to?"

"This kid is a bit overly eager, isn't he?"

"Not sure, but he definitely has ill intentions; when we see him again we'll guard against him, even though we wear the Heavenly Cloud Soft Armor bestowed by our master, that kid surely has trump cards."

"Let's go, we're heading to the center of the immortal tomb; the spirit-guarding stone our master mentioned is there."

On a very uneven small path, Shi Hao and company walked toward us.
