Chapter 432 Tomb Raiding

Upon entering the valley, a massive stone tomb stands like a small mountain.

"This is the ancestral tomb of the first clan?"

"I've heard that the ancestral tombs of the seven great clans are all buried in the primordial mountains, where they are buried but do not die, thus achieving eternity!"

"Just facing him makes me want to worship him..."

Many of the collateral descendants were shocked by the scene before them.

Even Li Lan was moved. He secretly observed with his Eye of the Great Dao and discovered that this great tomb was actually built on a key point of the entire mountain range.

However, this is not a good thing, because a typical tomb is meant to draw upon the energy of nature to bless the deceased and even their descendants.

However, this burial site is the opposite; it clearly uses the life force of the tomb owner to nourish and feed the entire mountain range. Over time, even the fortune and destiny of the First Clan may be affected.

"Was the First Clan deceived, or was it intentional?" Li Lan couldn't help but ponder.

On the surface, this tomb is indeed a geomantically auspicious site, and anyone who sees it will be amazed. Only someone like Li Lan, with his unique insight into the Dao, can discern its profound mysteries.

The group walked forward.

Several extraordinary experts were already waiting in front of the tomb. Among them was a middle-aged man who strode forward with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought as he faced the tomb.

"Reporting to the clan chief, they have arrived."

The first elder of the Transmission Technique stepped forward and bowed.

The middle-aged man turned around and glanced at Li Lan and the others.

"First Ruyu greets the clan leader!"

Seeing the situation, Yu immediately knelt down and performed a grand salute. The others followed suit.

But the middle-aged man flicked his sleeve, and before the First Ruyu and the others could kneel down, they had already stood up.

"The clan chief is truly approachable!"

"yes,"

"What merit do we have to deserve such favor from the clan leader..."

The group was even more grateful to the middle-aged man. Yu was a little puzzled, but then she thought that it was probably because they had not yet recognized their ancestors and were too early to pay their respects.

Li Lan, however, sneered inwardly. To the First Clan, these collateral descendants were probably already dead. How could a figure as powerful as the First Clan Chief be worshipped by a group of dead? Disgusting!

"Send them in."

Chieftain First Mountain waved his hand.

The elder who passed on the skills immediately nodded and said, "If you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, there is still one test. You must enter the tomb and circulate your skills. The souls of your ancestors will naturally awaken and bestow a blessing upon you."

"After you come out, you will be considered true disciples of the main sect."

He began by giving instructions on what to do after entering the tomb.

Many of the disciples had some doubts, but no one was afraid.

"Open the tomb door."

As the elder who was transmitting his skills spoke, the mechanisms of the massive stone tomb rattled, and a huge stone door opened, revealing a dark passageway.

"go!"

Without hesitation, Yu entered first.

Everyone followed suit.

As soon as they entered, the stone door behind them was shut shut, plunging them into complete darkness, causing a stir among the group.

"It's just ahead."

First, Ruyu calmly spoke and led everyone inside. Before long, a faint green light appeared, and a tomb chamber came into view.

The tomb contained hundreds of coffins, each with a spirit tablet in front of it. As the group looked through them, they saw that they were all ancestors of the First Clan.

"The First of the Five Ancestors to Expand the Heavens, he was a great figure in the history of our clan, who once stepped half a foot out of the Heavenly Demon Realm."

"The First Flying Rong, an extremely powerful Heavenly Demon, was even considered by some to be capable of reaching the Emperor Realm and possessing the potential of a Great Emperor. Later, he mysteriously perished..."

"The First Qin was also an invincible figure. He once defeated no one of his generation. The elders of my clan personally witnessed his rise..."

Everyone spoke up, their expressions a mixture of admiration and pride.

These people all died and were all buried here.

"Is that... the coffin of the First Emperor?"

At this moment, someone spoke up in surprise. In the deepest part of the tomb, there was a huge platform, and on top of it was a giant golden coffin. The coffin was surrounded by amazing Daoist energy and countless rays of light.

"The Great Emperor... the First Great Emperor!"

"He was also buried here? That's amazing! We're actually fortunate enough to witness his tomb..."

"Only the most powerful cultivators throughout history can be buried alongside the First Emperor."

They all spoke up.

Li Lan's expression was also solemn, and his eyes showed increasing surprise and doubt. The location of this imperial coffin seemed to be right in front of him, but in fact there was a layer of Great Dao barrier, as if he were in another world.

The Emperor's coffin serves as a bridge, connecting to that mysterious world where nourishment is drawn from other coffins, and where mysterious processes and fortunes flow.

"Who on earth could orchestrate such a grand scheme?"

His heart grew heavier.

While he was outside, he also suspected that the First Clan might have had ulterior motives in choosing such an inauspicious location for their clan's sustenance.

But now he is almost certain that the First Clan has been misled or controlled.

After all, the First Emperor was already the strongest of the First Clan. How could he be willing to use himself as a bridge to seize the fortune and destiny of the entire clan?

This is self-destruction.

However, in the original world, the seven major races were already powerful and supreme, representing the rulers.

Who else can control the fate of their race?

They can even control the remains of the First Emperor?

Does this primordial world hold other untold secrets?

"It's time to perform the 'blood testimonies' ceremony."

At this moment, Ru Yu spoke and walked to an altar.

The altar is very ancient, carved from special blue stone with an axe, and still has bright red bloodstains on it, as if it has been stained with blood for many years.

The elder who had just passed on his skills had already told them what they needed to do inside the tomb.

By offering a drop of one's own blood on the altar, one can awaken the spirits of many ancestors and receive their blessing and approval.

According to the first secret formula, this process will be very beneficial, and everyone will undergo a complete transformation, becoming geniuses comparable to the leaders of the main sect.

Therefore, when Ruyu was mentioned first, everyone else gathered around, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"The ceremony can begin now!"

"Once we complete this step, we can return to our roots and soar to great heights."

Let's begin!

They couldn't wait to speak, but at that moment, Di Yiruyu suddenly turned around and slapped Li Lan with her palm.

He made his move suddenly, without warning, which startled everyone.

Although Li Lan was deep in thought, he was actually fully aware of the situation. The killing intent emanating from his opponent, and even the preparations before the attack, did not escape his notice.

So at this moment, after a moment's thought, he did not resist. He was struck by the other party's palm, then took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“This boy is arrogant and has looked down on us. With such character, entering the main sect will only tarnish our clan’s reputation and bring shame upon our clan.”

First, Ru Yu spoke in a cold voice, with a sanctimonious appearance, as if he had already become a member of the main sect.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately echoed his sentiments.

"That's right, this kid actually dared to look down on us before, now he deserves what he got!"

“This boy deserves to die. Brother Ruyu’s intervention has finally vented our anger.”

"That's right. I've disliked such a madman for a long time."

Many people ridiculed Li Lan, believing that she brought it upon herself.

"This boy has been struck by my Five Poisons Divine Palm. Within half an hour, he will die with his heart and liver shattered..."

First Ruyu smiled coldly and said, "Don't rush to kill him. Let him watch as our blood test proves our success!"

He wanted to torment Li Lan, to make her watch them succeed and take off, and to make her die in the agony of impotent rage!

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Let the blood test begin!"

He activated the technique taught in the first secret manual, then slit his wrist, blood gushing out and pouring onto the altar.

The same is true for others.

The blood fell onto the altar, but quickly disappeared.

At the same time, from the depths of the tomb, a thumping sound suddenly came, like a heart beating. The sound grew clearer and clearer, as if something was approaching.

Is our ancestor about to awaken?

"Very likely!"

Everyone was looking forward to it.

But immediately afterward, a faint, mysterious light suddenly emanated from the altar and fell upon the First Ruyu and the others. Instantly, the essence blood in their bodies flowed uncontrollably from their wrists, and at the same time, phantom images appeared around them.

"Ruyu, what are you doing...?"

At that moment, Di Yu seemed to hear his father's painful voice. In a daze, he saw his relatives dying one by one...

"No, Grandpa, how could you... how could this happen?"

Another genius also paled at this moment. He could clearly sense that some terrible calamity had befallen his clan, and his clansmen were dying one by one...

"There's something wrong, there's something wrong with this!"

Some people even realized something was wrong. They were eager to leave and give up the blood certificate, but they were unable to move or even control their own blood energy.

"Offering the destiny and future of one's clan in exchange for the eternal truth of the Great Dao..."

From the depths of the darkness, it seemed as if a magnificent voice resounded.

"This blood test method is wrong; it's evil magic!"

Someone shouted.

"This blood certificate uses our blood as a pretext to sacrifice our people... This is not ancestral recognition at all!"

"We've been tricked by the main sect..."

"No, stop! Stop!"

At that moment, they all understood. Everyone's face was filled with fear, and they struggled violently, but to no avail.

"What kind of kinship is this? The clan leader doesn't treat us like human beings at all!"

"These bastards! Ugh, I killed all my people?"

"Let me die, but spare my people!"

They all spoke in despair, and some knelt down and wept bitterly.

"First Heng, help us! Kill me! Don't let me continue!"

At that moment, someone suddenly looked at Li Lan on the other side and spoke almost pleadingly!

He didn't want to see his people die out, so he wanted to stop the ritual by dying.

"Yes, if we die, maybe it will stop, it will stop!"

"First Heng, make your move quickly and kill us!"

The others also spoke up eagerly.

Even Di Yi Ruyu was utterly desperate at this moment. His body was trembling as he said, "Di Yi Heng... hurry up and do it!"

Tears were streaming down his face.

When he was chosen and taken away by the main sect's guide, he was overwhelmed with excitement, seeing it as the best opportunity. As long as he could return to the main sect, he could take care of the collateral branches of the clan, and even help them leave that harsh and cold land...
