Chapter 1293: After All, I Have a Share Too

"Boom!"

At this moment, within the Spirit Eye Mountain Range of Buried Immortal Valley.

Er Gouzi kicked out with one leg, forcibly dislodging a massive boulder, his face brimming with excitement.

"Haha, this Divine Venerable feels he is infinitely close to the location of that Spirit Eye!" Er Gouzi shouted joyfully.

Xu Que also exhaled a mouthful of turbid air deeply, wearing a smile as he gazed at the newly dug passage.

The one man and one dog had been busy for nearly a full day, directly carving a shortcut tunnel through the mountain range that led straight to the underground Spirit Eye location; now, over ninety percent was complete, and soon they would catch a glimpse of the true form of the so-called Great Ability of the Sea Race lying inside.

"Er Gouzi, I feel it's necessary to ask you once more: is this memory of yours really reliable?" Xu Que looked at Er Gouzi and asked.

"Rest assured, this Divine Venerable has always been reliable in handling matters!" Er Gouzi patted his chest, swearing solemnly.

"Heh, it's precisely because of that that I have to confirm with you again!" Xu Que wore a smile that was mocking yet not entirely devoid of politeness.

"Damn it, this time this Divine Venerable truly has absolute confidence; otherwise, do you think this Divine Venerable would really be willing to take such a risk? Hell, if this Divine Venerable hadn't suddenly recalled this piece of past events, that old fellow lying underground might have truly gotten a windfall!"

Er Gouzi looked furious: "Back then, this place was jointly arranged by this Divine Venerable's Sixth Life and that creature, solely for the purpose of smelting all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within Buried Immortal Valley; however, it ambushed this Divine Venerable, causing this Divine Venerable's Sixth Life to suffer heavy injuries and flee far away, while it occupied this place, altered the layout, turned it into a Heaven and Earth Furnace, and used it to achieve its own success."

"Alright, alright, that was all from a previous life; is there any need to get so angry? Besides, don't we now have a chance to take revenge?" Xu Que patted Er Gouzi's dog head and comforted him with a smile.

In fact, upon first hearing Er Gouzi mention memories from a previous life, Xu Que's initial reaction was that it was unreliable.

But this time, Er Gouzi had truly recalled a relatively complete memory: during his Sixth Life, Er Gouzi happened to live at the end of the Immortal Emperor Era, a time when countless Great Abilities were searching for methods to survive the End of Dharma Era; Er Gouzi chose to join forces with that Great Ability of the Sea Race to search everywhere for a treasured land, finally succeeding in finding one under the sea.

Thus, the two joined hands to set up a formation, transforming the treasured land into a furnace that operated on its own, smelting the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the land along with spiritual energy from all directions to sustain the years of their slumber until they could awaken after passing through the End of Dharma Era.

Originally, this method was quite good, but the Great Ability of the Sea Race betrayed Er Gouzi's Sixth Life, launching a surprise attack that severely injured Er Gouzi's Sixth Life, forcing him to flee this realm.

That Great Ability of the Sea Race also suffered some minor injuries and could only return to the seabed, where it altered the layout, left a set of Ancestral Precepts for future generations, and then entered slumber within it ahead of time to hide from the world.

In the long years that followed, the deeds of the Great Ability of the Sea Race were mythologized and exaggerated, claiming it was injured in a great battle with a Human Race Immortal Emperor, buried beneath the sea, and that the place was named Buried Immortal Valley; in reality, it was all nonsense.

That Great Ability of the Sea Race utilized changes in the terrain to deduce future geographical conditions, thus altering the layout with the sole purpose of creating, for today, this Heaven and Earth Furnace layout naturally evolved by Heaven and Earth, to blood-sacrifice all living things in Buried Immortal Valley and achieve its own success.

"Heh, no matter how much it calculated, it could never foresee that this Divine Venerable would come in this life to destroy it; after all its scheming, won't it still end up benefiting the two of us?" Er Gouzi laughed with malicious glee.

"Cut it out, you're just walking in dog shit luck; hurry up and keep digging." Xu Que rolled his eyes.

As for this Creation, he indeed felt it was immense, but there was no way he could bring Liu Jingning and the others to share in this Creation.

The reason he and Er Gouzi could enter was purely because their Flesh Bodies were sufficiently tough; Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude could not withstand the effects of the blood sacrifice in this place, and even Mo Junchen could not endure it; after all, even Xu Que's own Small Achievement Saint Body required the system's automatic recovery function to be activated just to barely maintain stability and counteract the effects of the blood sacrifice.

Therefore, only he and Er Gouzi could extract this Creation.

"Kid, after this success, you will at least be able to break through to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and it's even possible you might break through to become a Imperial Physician Immortal; this Divine Venerable thinks you should show some appreciation!" After speaking, Er Gouzi began making suggestive faces at Xu Que, hoping to gain some extra benefits.

"Heh, appreciation? What kind of appreciation do you want? King of Acting Cool Fist or King of Arrogance Leg? If that's not enough, how about a whack from the Wang Staff?" Xu Que gave a Cold Smile.

Er Gouzi immediately cowered back, hastily shouting: "No need, no need! Let's hurry and dig; time is running short!"

Having said that, he used both hands and feet... no, wait, all four limbs, and energetically began digging rapidly through the final layer of soil.

"Bang!"

Soon, this final layer of earthen wall could not withstand the forceful excavation by Er Gouzi and Xu Que; it was quickly breached, opening up this tomb chamber that had been buried underground for many years!

Logically speaking, as a place meant to bury one's own flesh body, the defenses should have been made very robust, but perhaps that Great Ability of the Sea Race had thought too simply, believing the Heaven and Earth Furnace could prevent anyone from entering this place, or perhaps because the entry back then was too rushed, so not much protection was established around the perimeter of the tomb chamber.

After Xu Que and Er Gouzi easily pushed aside the final layer of sandy soil, they smoothly stepped into a pitch-black tomb chamber.

This tomb chamber was roughly just a hollowed-out cave, only a few dozen square meters in size; in the center stood a small house about the size of a thatched cottage, constructed entirely of black-colored jade stone, making it impossible to see the interior clearly.

Er Gouzi immediately burst into laughter: "Haha, this old fellow indeed used the Jade Coffin that this Divine Venerable had prepared for himself back in the day; this time he is definitely dead! The Restrictions on top are very familiar to this Divine Venerable and can be easily opened!"

"Damn, Er Gouzi, you really know how to enjoy yourself; a coffin you prepared for yourself, yet you made it look like a house?" Xu Que said speechlessly; judging from the shape of this Jade Stone house, it indeed looked quite like something Er Gouzi would create.

"Hehe, that was the previous life; nowadays, if this Divine Venerable were to make one, it would absolutely be a magnificent Palace, unparalleled in the world!" Er Gouzi declared arrogantly.

Xu Que wore a look of contempt: "Unparalleled in the world? You probably only got that idea after seeing Xuan Yuan Wanrong's palace in Tianzhou, right?"

"Bullshit, this Divine Venerable thought of it himself!" Er Gouzi shouted righteously, wearing the unmistakable face of someone shamelessly brazen!

Xu Que immediately found this amusing, but he had no time to continue mocking this fellow, as his gaze had already fallen upon that Black Jade Stone House!

From the outside, the interior was completely blurred, and moreover, the exterior of the jade house was covered with Restrictions, serving as the final line of defense.

"Kid, leave these Restrictions to this Divine Venerable to resolve, but you need to find something suitable to replace this Spirit Eye; otherwise, once the Heaven and Earth Furnace activates, all Immortal Yuan will dissipate and vanish, unable to gather together!" Er Gouzi said, looking at Xu Que.

Xu Que immediately raised his eyebrows: "Can't we continue using this Jade Stone house?"

"It can't be used!" Er Gouzi said with a face full of regret: "This Divine Venerable was too confident in the previous life and designed the Restrictions too perfectly; if they are to be broken, the Jade Stone house must be smashed along with them!"

"Your train of thought is truly unmatched!" Xu Que shook his head repeatedly, rendered speechless.

What the hell did the perfection or strength of the Restriction design have to do with whether this Jade Stone house would be smashed?

However, if they were to absorb Immortal Yuan, Xu Que was also quite averse to continuing to use this Jade Stone house.

After all, at the end of the day, this Jade Stone house was a coffin that had already been used by someone else; if he were to go inside and borrow it for a stay, it would truly lack any style!

"Forget it, let's just use that palace of Xuan Yuan Wanrong; coincidentally, there is still a pond of Golden Branch Jade Liquid inside; with the dual effects, we might truly be able to step directly into becoming a Imperial Physician Immortal in one go!" Xu Que smiled, waved his large hand, and directly brought out the Ice Snow Palace he had obtained earlier on Xuewu Mountain in Tianzhou.

He deliberately shrunk the appearance of the palace and placed it to the side, waiting for Er Gouzi to open the Black Jade Stone House!

According to their plan, while the Heaven and Earth Furnace had not yet fully activated and before that Great Ability of the Sea Race awakened, they would throw it out... to feed the dog!

"Hmm, though it can't exactly be counted as feeding the dog, since that would be insulting myself; after all, I'll have a share in this shortly too!" Xu Que rubbed his chin and muttered softly to himself.
