Cultivation: Being Immortal

Qing State, the place where the four major families hide

The four elders of the families reached a consensus and used telepathy to instruct their disciples to gather in the middle of the hiding place, getting ready to enter the Green Emperor Tomb.

The people didn’t dare to delay, as they saw Lin Batian’ injuries worsening, and he was struggling to hold on.

Luckily, a bug named Lin Jiang appeared on the battlefield under Tao Achieving, and by sniping all the way, this part of the battle gave the four major families an advantage. They retreated to the middle area.

The hiding place of the four major families was a vast plain, but in there, there was a mountain. The mountain was not very tall and had many spiritual plants growing on it.

"Sixth Brother, take it."

"Chen Jingfang, take it."

"Yu Wenqing, take it."

"Lu Lianrong, take it."

"It’s a family heirloom plate."

"When the four plates merge, they activate spiritual power and vital energy."

Lin Jiang doesn’t know what this thing is, but the others do. Each of the four people passes their plate forward. The four plates fit perfectly together. As the four people activate their vital energy and spiritual power, the plates gradually merge into one.

These are the inheritance plates of the four families. They are the symbol of the family head’s status and can only be opened by the direct bloodline of the four families. If outsiders get hold of them, they are worthless.

As the four plates merge, the mountain in front of them suddenly starts to shake. The ground beneath everyone’s feet slowly cracks, forming a canyon. The canyon emits a rainbow light, forming a Seven-colored Rainbow Gate. Everyone tries to sense what’s inside, but they can’t figure out what’s happening.

"Enter the gate."

Lin Batian’s voice comes through. He’s almost at his limit. The side effects of his blood secret technique are starting to take their toll. He’s getting weaker and weaker. Right now, he’s just taking all the hits.

Everyone didn’t dare to waste any more time, they flew directly into the Seven-colored Rainbow Gate and disappeared one by one.

"Go in."

Yu family’s Ancestor saw all the disciples go in, clenched his teeth, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the golden bell in his hand. The golden bell immediately made a clear ringing sound, causing the Holy Heavenly Sect disciples to scream in pain. Only Tao Achieving disciple was able to withstand it.

"Bang."

Yang LuoSky Eye emitted a beam of light, creating a hole in Yu family’s Ancestor’s chest. Lin Batian, who was passing by, grabbed Yu family’s Ancestor and rushed into the Seven-colored Rainbow Gate. If Yu family’s Ancestor had been slower, he would have been gone.

"Yang Luo, what should we do? Should we go in or not?"

Outside the Seven-colored Rainbow Gate, Yang Xi said to Yang Luo, "This is obviously a dangerous place."

Yang Luo didn’t respond immediately but kept scanning the entire mountain with her Sky Eye. Except for a large stone tablet on the mountaintop with the words "Green Emperor Tomb" written on it, nothing else was found.

This made Yang Luo furrow her brows. Her Sky Eye could cover the whole world, but this was the first time she had encountered a setback.

"Can you run away?"

Yang Luo turned around and everyone followed suit, only to see the Shenmu Ancestor, who had turned into a human form, sneaking away.

"Little Lin, you ungrateful person! After I helped you so much, you dare to forget about me, your ancestor!"

The Shenmu Ancestor pointed towards the direction of the Seven-colored Rainbow Gate and cursed loudly. He couldn’t believe they would forget about him, the Shenmu Ancestor, who fully supported Lin Batian. This was so disappointing.

"What do you mean, Shenmu Ancestor?"

"Go, go inside and beat them all to death! They’re all ungrateful people!"

The Shenmu Ancestor stopped running. With four Tao Achieving by his side, there was no need for him to run away. He knew Yang Luo couldn’t defeat them.

"Yang Luo, don’t listen to him."

"Junior sister, let’s kill this old guy first. Besides, he’s just using a substitute. Even if he dies, it’s not a big deal. Please don’t listen to him."

Yang Xi and Yang Xiong didn’t dare enter easily. Green Emperor Tomb must be very dangerous, we mustn’t take risks.

"I think so too. Otherwise, how about we go back to our homes? Fighting all the time is boring. I want to go home and enjoy the sun."

Shenmu Ancestor said, he is a peaceful big tree. Besides sunbathing every day, he doesn’t want anything else. What’s the point of fighting and killing?

"Shenmu Ancestor is right. Let’s go to Shenmu Sect and destroy Shenmu Ancestor’s true form. I’m sure we can create ten spiritual treasures."

"Or we can chop it up and use it as firewood."

"We can also uproot it and plant it in Holy Heavenly Sect. Let it extract spiritual essence day and night. If it doesn’t deliver ten thousand catties in a year, we can burn its soul."

Holy Heavenly Sect and Tao Achieving exchanged words, leaving Shenmu Ancestor pale. He’s not afraid of other Tao Achievings, but he’s truly frightened of Yang Luo. Yang Luo is too evil, she has countless tricks up her sleeve.

"Well, actually fighting is quite good. It can be seen as exercising. Don’t you think so?"

"Then tell me, what traps are there in Green Emperor Tomb?"

"I really don’t know this. I am not part of the four major families. The Green Emperor Tomb was designed by Green Emperor himself, and it was built by his four disciples together. It’s a top-secret thing for them, so how would an outsider like me know?"

"I think we need to talk to your real self."

"Yang Luo, don’t go too far. I truly don’t know, but I can take the lead for you if needed."

"If you have a body double, then let them die if they have to."

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

"Let me think."

Yang Luo was also in a dilemma. She was just scaring Shenmu Ancestor. Shenmu Ancestor was not easy to deal with in the territory of Shenmu Sect, and it wasn’t her main focus. What she wanted was to enter the Green Emperor Tomb and capture Li Changsheng.

"Junior sister, how about we bombard this mountain to see what happens? If there’s a chance, we can dig from the outside."

"Okay."

Yang Luo nodded, she’s not a tomb raider and doesn’t have those skills. If she were to tomb raid, she would use violent methods. What kind of security measures could stop them from digging out a whole mountain?

Yang Xiong immediately organized his men. He himself flew into the air and bombarded the entire Green Emperor Tomb. However, after dozens of attacks, there was no movement except for some trees and rocks on the mountain.

"This plan didn’t work. The entire Green Emperor Tomb is a massive treasure, maybe even a spiritual treasure. The rocks and vegetation on it are just camouflage."

Yang Luo personally approached and inspected. Through the cracks in some rocks, she had already noticed something.

"Such a grand scheme."

Yang Xi couldn’t help but sigh. Turning a whole mountain into a spiritual treasure is a huge scheme. Even their Holy Heavenly Sect, after much effort, couldn’t achieve such a level.

"Yang Luo, what should we do now? Should we retreat? Our Holy Heavenly Sect is stronger than them. We can slowly defeat them in the future. We’re not afraid of not being able to destroy them."

"Yes, junior sister. Don’t fall into their trap. Qing State can’t escape, Yun State can’t escape. We’ll go out and kill all of their people, forcing them to show themselves."

"Kill all of their people, and then wait for them to strike back everywhere. We’ll be on the defensive?"

Yang Luo asked. How long has Yun State been fighting guerrilla warfare? If they had territory to hold them back, it would be fine, but now that they have lost their territory, the Holy Heavenly Sect won’t have anything to do except be on guard against the four Tao Achieving sneak attacks.

"Um…"

"We must go in, even if the Green Emperor is resurrected inside. Today, I will fight him."

Yang Luo quickly made up her mind. She was very confident. The Green Emperor was powerful, but she was confident in her ability to spar with him.

It’s just some traps. We will conquer them.

Yang Xi and Yang Xiong glanced at each other, still thinking of persuading Yang Luo, but she refused to change her mind. She firmly stated that if they wanted to retreat, they could, but she wouldn’t leave. She wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal.

The two reluctantly agreed. They couldn’t let Yang Luo go in alone and take the risk. A group action would be safer.

"Leave the seriously injured behind, keep two people to protect them. The rest of us will prepare to go in. Take out all the treasures from your body, don’t hold back."

Yang Luo spoke to the remaining members of the Holy Heavenly Sect. After a tough battle, more than half of the sect’s forces were lost. If she didn’t completely defeat the four major families, she wouldn’t be satisfied.
