My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

618  Sage Spirit Secret Realm, Playing Dead!

"The Sage Spirit Secret Realm!"

Looking at the mysterious secret realm that appeared in the void, the crowd around the Green Dragon Palace immediately exclaimed. Scorching gazes instantly looked over.

The Sage Spirit Secret Realm was the ancestral land of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom. It was rumored to have a total of three levels.

The first level was where the Sage ancestors of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom were buried. The second level contained unparalleled treasures. The third level was where the old Sage ancestors of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom cultivated and rested.

Every time a Sage was about to pass away, they would enter the Sage Spirit Secret Realm and seal themselves.

This could also be considered the continuation of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom.

When faced with danger, the Sages who were hibernating in the Sage Spirit Secret Realm would wake up again and burn the last bit of their lives.

All in all, the Sage Spirit Secret Realm was extremely important to the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom. It was the foundation of their survival.

Under normal circumstances, it would never be easily opened. Only when a Sage died or was about to pass away would the Sage Spirit Secret Realm be opened.

...

"The Sage Spirit Secret Realm is awesome!"

Looking at the scene in the secret realm and the ancient tombs on the divine mountain, the Mad Daoist could not help but praise. His eyes revealed a strong desire.

Qin Daofu was the same.

"Brother Ren, old lunatic, according to the information I've gathered, the Sage Spirit Secret Realm has a total of three levels. The first level is tombs, the second level is where the treasures are hidden, and the third level is where the Sages of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom are hibernating. This time, we are going to be rich!"

Qin Daofu sent a voice transmission that was filled with excitement.

"Don't be in a hurry to make a move. After all, we promised Chen Xuanjing that we would help him seize the throne. We are the best at framing people. This is a great opportunity. After we enter the Sage Spirit Secret Realm, we'll pretend that we can't withstand the corrosion of the coffin's evil energy and play dead on the ground. This way, we will be cleared of suspicion since we are already dead in the eyes of the outside world. How can dead people come back to life and dig graves? Then, old lunatic, you secretly use the Golden Divine Tomb to block the entrance of the Sage Spirit Secret Realm. As long as the people from the outside world can't see what's happening in the secret realm and can't enter, we can act boldly. At that time, we can just kill Zhao Yuanzheng and the others."

...

Lin Wudao revealed his plan.

Hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu immediately praised.

"Brilliant, Brother Ren!"

"Then we'll do it this way. We'll listen to you."

The two of them had no objections.

They secretly discussed some other details, and just like that, some time passed.

"The time has come. Please ascend to heaven, old ancestor."

A sharp but hoarse voice spread throughout the Green Dragon Palace, causing the atmosphere to become extremely solemn.

The moment the old eunuch's voice rang out, Lin Wudao and the other eleven pallbearers were ready. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Raise the coffin!"

"Farewell, old ancestor!"

"Farewell, old ancestor!"

...

As the spirit guide spoke, Lin Wudao and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately exerted some strength to lift the green dragon coffin on their shoulders.

Buzz!

The moment the coffin left the ground, it immediately let out waves of low vibrations.

From the coffin, a series of violent knocking sounds could be heard. It was as if something was trying to break out of the coffin.

Other than that, Lin Wudao could see a large amount of evil substance surging out of the coffin, trying to erode everything around it.

"This coffin is extremely ominous. The fallen old Sage ancestor of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom must have been tainted with evil substance when he was alive, causing his corpse to be ominous. I had been wondering why the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom wanted to find pallbearers who were tough and fearless. So it was because of this... Mad Daoist, Qin Daofu, be careful."

Lin Wudao sent a voice transmission. He had not expected that there would be an ominous omen hidden in the coffin.

The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu did not pay much attention to his warning.

"Don't worry, Brother Ren. How can a mere ominous omen obliterate me? I have the netherworld power protecting me, so I'm not afraid of the ominous," Qin Daofu replied casually.

"I dig graves, how can I be scared by a mere ominous omen? With the Book of Burial in hand, I'll just refine it."

Hearing this, Lin Wudao didn't say anything.

To be honest, he was not worried about the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu. He was only giving them a slight reminder.

...

"Farewell, old ancestor!"

Lin Wudao and the others carried the coffin and walked into the Sage Spirit Secret Realm under everyone's gaze.

Wherever the procession passed, the descendants and clansmen of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom knelt and wept with grief.

Finally, under the guidance of the spirit guide, Lin Wudao and the others carried the coffin into the Sage Spirit Secret Realm.

"Reporting to the Ruler, I have received accurate news that the six pallbearers that Second Brother found from outside are actually grave robbers. This time, they pretended to be pallbearers because they want to dig up the ancestral graves of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom. Ruler, please make preparations."

After the funeral procession entered the Sage Spirit Secret Realm, Chen Xuanjing immediately stood up and reported to Chen Batian.

Whoosh!

The words were like a single stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.

As Chen Xuanjing spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him.

At the same time, Chen Batian's expression changed abruptly.

"What did you say? The pallbearers that Chen Xuanjing hired are grave robbers who want to dig up the ancestral graves of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom?"

"Yes. Ruler, this matter is absolutely true. Those people are indeed grave robbers. I am willing to use my life as a guarantee!" Chen Xuanjing said firmly.

Ha!

Seeing how confident he was, everyone around him gasped.

"The good show is about to begin. What are Chen Xuanjing and the Wicked Trio up to? If everything is true, then the Wicked Trio has finally met its peers."

In the crowd, Gong Tianyi and the others gloated. All of them revealed a strong interest as they stared unblinkingly at Chen Xuanjing and Chen Xuanjun.

"Ruler, Big Brother is slandering me! Those people are certainly not grave robbers. Please don't believe Big Brother's one-sided words. Big Brother, you should have evidence, right? What are your intentions of slandering me so wantonly at the old ancestor's funeral today?"

Chen Xuanjun came up to him and questioned loudly. He looked furious.

"Huh, evidence? Second Brother, we'll know if the people you're hired are grave robbers once we continue watching what happens later. If they really do take action and dig up the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom's ancestral tomb, how would you explain it? You were the one who hired them. You didn't instigate them, did you?"

Chen Xuanjing's expression was cold.

"Ruler, I would never betray the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom and collude with outsiders to dig up the country's ancestral graves! Please believe me!"

Chen Xuanjun knelt and kowtowed.

Chen Batian's face darkened as he watched the two of them argue until their faces turned red.

"Shut up! No one can dig up the ancestral graves of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom right under my nose. Whether those people are grave robbers or not, we'll know after watching. At that time, I will not let them off easily."

Chen Batian's majestic voice resounded throughout the area.

He held the Azure Dragon Seal in one hand and looked at the Sage Spirit Secret Realm with his deep and cold eyes.

As long as there were any changes, he would immediately seal the secret realm.

At that time, even Sage Kings could forget about escaping.

...

Lin Wudao and the others didn't know much about the argument in the outside world.

At this moment, they had already followed the spirit guide's footsteps and successfully entered the Sage Spirit Secret Realm.

"Start playing dead."

The moment they entered the Sage Spirit Secret Realm, Lin Wudao immediately sent a voice transmission to the Mad Daoist and the others.

Immediately after, he began to pretend that he could not bear the burden. His body, which was carrying the coffin, kept trembling, and his face gradually turned purple.

Then, a black gas started circling his body.

"Ah!"

About fifteen minutes later, with a painful scream, Lin Wudao fell to the ground under everyone's gaze. His body kept twitching, and after a few breaths, he was void of any signs of life. Waves of terrifying black gas began to envelop his body.
