“Unfortunately, I can’t find out what happened 60 years ago. However, the timeline of these two incidents is very similar. At the same time, they are both extremely abnormal actions. If I combine these two incidents to investigate…” Xiao Shi suddenly had a bold hypothesis.
“60 years ago, something happened in the Beginner Martial Era that had a huge impact on that ninth-stage martial arts expert. Therefore, while this supreme expert set the rule that no existence above the Sage Realm is allowed to die, he also began to prepare to exile the Beginner Martial Era into alternate space!”
The reason why he had such a guess was mainly because the timelines of the two incidents were too close. After thinking about it, Xiao Shi felt that the only person who had the ability to exile the Beginner Martial Era to another space-time was this ninth-realm expert of the Beginner Martial Era.
Not only was the other party the strongest expert in the Beginner Martial Era, he was the first existence in the world to reach the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. He was definitely stronger than the ninth realm of the Martial Dao in other eras.
Of course, this was only Xiao Shi’s current guess. He still lacks some important clues. However, he could not find out what happened 60 years ago in the Beginner Martial Era. Even if he asked the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord to investigate, the other party could not find anything either.
This seemed to be the top secret of the Beginner Martial Era. Even the Daolords and demigods in the Beginner Martial Era couldn’t come into contact with it. Perhaps only the ninth-stage martial arts expert knew the reason and answer. However, the more confidential this matter was, Xiao Shi felt that it was more in line with his guess.
Whether the real answer is this or not was not important to the current Xiao Shi. The important thing was that he learned that the Beginner Martial Era did not forbid the death of existences above the Sage realm from the beginning. And so, a plan to hunt Sages gradually took shape in his mind.
As the leader of the five great kingdoms of the Wu Empire, they were the country with the most number of Sages and Daolords among the seventeen countries. Among them, the one holding down the Heaven Sacrifice High Nation was also the most famous demigod among the demigods, the Heavenly Virtue demigod!
In the country of the Heaven Sacrifice, the various large sects, family clans, and other factions also appeared endlessly. The scene was prosperous and martial arts flourished.
The Tai Yue Clan had always been a famous clan in the Heaven Sacrifice Country. It was not only because three Daolords had been born in the Tai Yue Clan. Many years ago, a demigod had even appeared in the Tai Yue Clan. And there were even more Sages in the Tai Yue Clan. Its powerful foundation had forged the current glorious and huge Tai Yue Clan.
The entire Tai Yue Clan was located on a towering mountain in the Heaven Sacrifice Country. The towering mountain was the family clan territory of the Tai Yue Clan. This also made Xiao Shi, who had secretly infiltrated the Tai Yue Clan, sigh.
If this was in the Tianwu Continent, the Tai Yue Clan was basically equivalent to the huge territory of a lord. After infiltrating the Tai Yue Clan, his goal was also very clear. He directly arrived at the mausoleum of the Tai Yue Clan.
As a huge family clan with a deep history, many members of the Tai Yue Clan were buried in the mausoleum of the Tai Yue Clan. Especially the experts of the Tai Yue Clan. Most of them were buried here. Among them were many Sages and Daolords of the Tai Yue Clan. Even the former Tai Yue Clan’s demigod was buried in this mausoleum.
Most of these experts buried here died because their lifespans were exhausted. Typically, if one died outside or died in battle, it would be difficult to preserve their corpse. Then, it would be very difficult to bury them in the family clan’s mausoleum.
The Tai Yue Clan did not have a tradition of establishing cenotaphs. Therefore, those clansmen who died in battle and did not have corpses often did not have the chance to be buried.
When Xiao Shi silently approached this huge mausoleum, he realized that this place was the same as the information he had previously obtained. There was only one Sage in the mausoleum, as well as some clansmen who were in charge of daily maintenance and care.
Although this mausoleum was very important to the Tai Yue Clan, the mausoleum itself was located in their clan’s territory. And in their clan grounds, there was a Daolord holding down the fort. Naturally, they did not have to worry that anyone would have designs on the mausoleum.
Therefore, there was no need to let too many people guard here. The reason why they let a Sage guard this place was more a symbol of the importance of this mausoleum to them. They did not really expect this Sage to be able to stop people who had designs on the mausoleum.
The Tai Yue Clan was a famous clan in the Heaven Sacrifice Upper Nation. No one had ever dared to have any designs on them.
Moreover, this was still their clan’s territory!
Soon, Xiao Shi locked onto the Sage of the Tai Yue Clan guarding the mausoleum. This was an old Sage. His lifespan was not long. Perhaps this was also the reason why he was asked to guard the mausoleum.
Xiao Shi closed his eyes. He directly used the dream ability of the Dream Wizard lineage. After he fused with the heart of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, not only could he use the power of the red tiger lineage, but he could also use the power of the other three lineages. Not only that, the power of these four lineages had all reached the Sage level.
Buzz!
Instantly, the eyelids of the Tai Yue Clan’s Sage, who was originally drinking contentedly, suddenly became heavy. Before he could do anything, his body staggered to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Shi pulled him into a dream. At the same time, the members of the Tai Yue Clan who were in charge of daily maintenance and management in the mausoleum also fell to the ground and fell into the dream that Xiao Shi had woven.
“The Dream Witch lineage’s ability is indeed useful.” Xiao Shi was very satisfied with this. With his current cultivation, it was not difficult to let a Sage enter a dream silently. He could even directly kill the Sages in the dream through the dream.
However, he knew that once he did anything to harm the other party in the dream, not only would the Daolord of the Tai Yue Clan sense it, but the demigod in charge of the Heaven Sacrifice Upper Nation would also sense it.
At that time, he would definitely die.
Therefore, Xiao Shi did not do anything to hurt the other party in the dream. It was simply to make the other party fall into a dream.
Be it Daolords or demigods, they mainly sensed the power fluctuations from the battle between the Sages and the life fluctuations of these Sages. And he had only let them fall asleep and fall into a dream. He did not hurt them, nor did he fight them. Then, the Daolord and demigods wouldn’t notice anything.
Xiao Shi’s figure swayed. After the members of the Tai Yue Clan fell into a deep sleep, he landed on a tombstone. Through the tombstone in front of him, one could see a corpse buried in the tombstone.
It was the corpse of a Sage. Although he had been dead for many years, the entire corpse remained intact. There were tadpole-like runes on his skin. Even though he had been dead for many years, they had not dissipated at all.
“The Tai Yue Clan is indeed a powerful clan that specializes in physical bodies. This corpse… is undoubtedly the most perfect corpse for the Red Refinement Secret Technique!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered. However, he did not directly destroy the tombstone and seize the corpse inside. The tombstones built by the Tai Yue Clan were not ordinary tombstones. If he rashly destroyed them, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
And once he alarmed the Daolord of the Tai Yue Clan, all his previous efforts would be in vain. After all, his main purpose in coming to the Tai Yue Clan this time was to steal corpses, not to hunt the Sages here.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi took a step forward. He used the ability of the Mountain God lineage of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect—Mountain Fusion. He would directly fuse with the tombstone and enter it. He would take the corpses inside without destroying the tombstone..
