Chapter 1522: The Emperor’s Tomb, Open! (2)....
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the Immortal Arts Hall, Erniu, who had transformed into Yue Dong, calmly spoke.
“Immortal Arts Hall, listen up. Follow me to the Great Emperor Dao Altar.”
As soon as Erniu finished speaking, a large number of immortal masters rose into the air.
The Yun family’s young master wasn’t here. Three days ago, he was summoned by his ancestor and had no choice but to return.
Just like that, the group of people quickly sped through the sky.
At that moment, on the Great Emperor Nether Flame’s Dao Altar, the wing­shaped huge Dao Altar was already surrounded by East Demon Feather cultivators in all directions, sealing the way in and out.
Only specific people could enter.
There were already three people sitting cross-legged in the air, waiting silently.
If Xu Qing arrived now, he would be able to clearly recognize the two of them.
One was none other than the son of the fifth Ruler, Lin Kun.
The other was actually the young master of the Yun family.
These two were obviously chosen to accompany the Tenth Ruler during the internal discussions of the East Demon Feather.
As for the third person, he had the appearance of a youth. His appearance was ordinary but his cultivation was already at the Soul Accumulation Realm.
This person came from the Ninth Ruler Mountain.
They were the first batch of people to arrive here. The instant the third bell chime rang out after fifteen minutes… a rift appeared in the sky.
Lu Lingzi, who was the Empress’s incarnation, walked out of the rift and landed here with a step.
Lin Kun and the other two hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The Empress nodded slightly and sat cross-legged in the air. She closed Her eyes and didn’t speak.
After the fourth bell chime, the Empress slowly opened Her eyes. Opposite Her, five figures walked over from the void.
The person in the lead wore an emperor’s robe and crown. The moment he appeared, the color of the sky changed and a storm brewed. Whether it was Lin Kun and the others, the surrounding cultivators, or even the various Rulers of the entire East Demon Feather who were secretly paying attention to this place…
Everyone’s hearts trembled and they lowered their heads.
“Greetings, Great Emperor.”
The person who came was none other than the current Demon Feather Great Emperor.
Five people followed behind him.
There were three men and two women.
A red-faced middle-aged man, a hunchbacked old man, a jade-faced youth, and two women in palace clothes and green robes.
They were naturally the ones who had entered from the West Demon Feather’s side.
“Is everyone here?”
The Demon Feather Great Emperor, who had arrived, calmly spoke.
Facing the pressure from him, everyone instinctively felt their hearts skip a beat. Only the Empress’s expression was calm.
“There are two more.”
When the Demon Feather Great Emperor heard this, he looked at the Empress meaningfully and smiled.
“They’re here too.”
As these words were spoken, celestial music echoed from the horizon. A group of immortal masters, carrying an enormous palanquin with great pomp, appeared in the sky.
Inside the palanquin sat a woman.
Originally, she had a proud expression, but at the next instant…
“Come here.”
The Empress spoke.
The woman’s body trembled and she immediately flew out, heading straight for the Empress. After she got close, she obediently stood at the side.
At the same time, Xu Qing, who was covered in blood mist, flew through the sky and instantly arrived, standing beside the Empress.
At that moment, there were six people on both sides.
At the forefront were the Empress and the Demon Feather Great Emperor, each accompanied by five individuals.
“Great Emperor Nether Flame is the supreme authority of our Demon Feather Holy Land.”
After his gaze swept past Xu Qing and Erniu, the Demon Feather Great Emperor slowly spoke.
“I originally didn’t agree with opening his place of seclusion.”
“However, Lu Ling is his disciple and the other disciples of Great Emperor Nether Flame also agree with this matter, so it’s not good for me to refuse.” “But I have one requirement that you must adhere to! When you enter, your primary goal is to investigate, and you must not disturb the Great Emperor’s cultivation.”
“If the Great Emperor has unfortunately fallen… then all of you will bow three times to him and refrain from further disturbances.”
As the Demon Feather Great Emperor spoke, his voice became sharp.
Everyone cupped their fists as a sign of compliance.
Seeing everyone like this, the Demon Feather Great Emperor’s expression softened. He turned and stared at the huge Dao Altar, his eyes revealing a hint of reminiscence. After a long time, he sighed softly.
“The place where Great Emperor Nether Flame is in seclusion looks like a Dao Altar, but in reality, it’s a mysterious heaven beyond the heavens. The Great Emperor obtained it from the starry sky.”
“If he truly has fallen, then due to the closure of the heaven beyond the heavens, his entire life’s memories will transform into realms, filling the space within.”
“It might contain the Great Emperor’s inheritance.”
“Before the Great Emperor returned, his cultivation and experiences in the starry sky were shrouded in mystery, and thus no one knew about his memories.”
“Out of respect for the Great Emperor, I hope that if you see anything, you will not disclose a single word about it.”
As he spoke, the Demon Feather Great Emperor shook his head and walked over. When he reached the top of the Dao Altar, he sat down cross-legged and waved his hand. Immediately, the entire Dao Altar rumbled and the originally dim light instantly shone.
“Feel free to proceed as you wish. During this time, I will act as your protector here.”
At that moment, the Dao Altar shone brightly. The Demon Feather Great Emperor’s voice echoed and the world trembled.
All the Rulers of the East Demon Feather opened their eyes and stared at this place.
It was the same for the West Demon Feather’s side.
All rogue cultivators and families were the same.
It could be said that this was the center of attention in the entire Demon Feather Holy Land.
Under the convergence of countless gazes and divine senses, the Empress walked toward the Dao Altar. There was no gorgeous opening or complicated ritual. The third eye on Her forehead shone.
After that, drops of blood seeped out of Her body.
That was the blood of the Lan family that came from the same source as the Great Emperor.
They emitted a profundity that contained rules and laws.
These drops of blood gathered in front of the Empress and landed on the Dao Altar. Under Her third eye, they slowly formed a blood-colored vortex. As it rumbled, it seemed to have opened a path.
Without hesitation, the Empress took a step forward and disappeared.
Xu Qing and Erniu also didn’t hesitate. They followed closely behind and quickly rushed in.
Next was the young master of the Yun family, Lin Kun, the youth from the Ninth Ruler Mountain, and everyone from the West Demon Feather. After they all stepped in, the blood that formed the vortex dissipated into fog.
The vortex also disappeared.
‘A grand performance where everyone harbors their own schemes…’
At the top of the Dao Altar, the Demon Feather Great Emperor opened his eyes and lowered his head to stare as he muttered inwardly.
Inside the seclusion place of the Great Emperor Nether Flame, Xu Qing didn’t know what situation the others were in but he was frowning at the moment.
The instant he entered the vortex earlier, he felt his vision blur. When everything became clear, he heard music, smelled rouge, and saw singing and dancing…
He found himself in a massive and opulent palace, adorned with intricate carvings and jade railings. Inside, there were at least a thousand women dressed in sheer, gauzy skirts, their clothing so thin that it was mostly translucent.
Their skin was partially visible, exuding an enticing allure that stirred the heart.
In the palace, there was either singing and dancing or intimate encounters, making the entire hall seem extravagant, with the sounds of merriment filling the air.
Moreover, these women were from various races and had different physiques, but each was extraordinarily beautiful. Individually, any one of them was strikingly gorgeous.
Now, each one of them gazed at him cautiously yet with eager anticipation. The fire in their eyes seemed capable of burning through everything.
Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.
Looking in all directions outside the hall, this was an unknown land. Within the range of Xu Qing’s divine sense… he actually didn’t see a second man other than himself.
It was as though this was a country of women.
As for himself, he wasn’t in his original appearance. Instead, he was a youth, sitting upright on the throne at the top of the hall, looking like an emperor.
There were cups of nectar, immortal fruits, and spirit meat placed before him.
“This is a world formed from a portion of Great Emperor Nether Flame’s memories?”
Xu Qing mumbled.
The same muttering also came from Erniu’s mouth on a desolate ancient star.
Erniu was somewhat stunned.
He looked around.
This was a barren and desolate planet. The sky was gray and the ground was black. There was no vegetation at all.
As far as the eye could see, there was rotting flesh everywhere. Not only were there bones everywhere, but he also saw countless excrement and even many huge maggots. Some of them were crawling toward him.
The stench filled the surroundings, making one feel nauseous.
It was like purgatory on earth.
As for himself, he was a half-rotten corpse. At that moment, his eyes were wide open as he stared blankly at his surroundings.
“This is… a world formed by the memory fragments of Great Emperor Nether Flame? Why are his memories like this…”
“Are the others here too?”
Erniu was shocked. After that, his gaze instinctively landed on the maggots crawling toward him, wanting to see if Little Qing was among them.
