Chapter 1101: 1080 Tomb of the Celestial King_1
"Hmm, and later on, a bizarre event happened. Among the bones, one of the immortal bones inexplicably vanished," Bing Shu nodded and continued, "No one knows, to this day, whether it is the ancestor or his rival buried within the Tomb of the Celestial King."
"Moreover, the ancestral tomb has evolved into a space of its own, and it has been a long time since anyone has entered. Inside, there are various arrays, Fellow Chu Qin must be careful."
"Alright, I understand," Chu Qin nodded, "No problem, I'll go take a look. It would be best to find some clues, but it's also fine if there aren't any."
"Hmm, Fellow Chu Qin, I will guide you through the Great Void Celestial Mirror," continued Bing Shu.
"Okay, that works!" Chu Qin nodded.
"Hmm, then I'll have someone take you there!"
"Ying'er!" As Bing Shu finished speaking, a young woman appeared beside her.
This young woman was evidently dressed as a maid and was quite beautiful, but there was still a considerable gap compared to Bing Shu.
Her name was Bing Ying, and she was also a Venerate of Heavens!
"Ying'er, take my City Lord's Command in your hands, have people open the ancestral tomb's gate, and let Fellow Chu Qin and the others enter to search for clues," Bing Shu handed an ice jade token to Bing Ying.
"Yes, City Lord!" Upon finishing her words, Bing Ying looked towards Chu Qin and the others, "Lord Chu Qin, please follow me."
Following that, under Bing Ying's lead, Chu Qin and the others arrived at the back of the Tianming Forbidden Area, in front of a tall mountain.
At the foot of this tall mountain, one could see the front of a tomb gate that soared a thousand meters high.
Eight Venerates of Heavens, akin to wooden stakes, sat motionless on either side of the tomb gate.
"City Lord's command, open the ancestral tomb gate!" Bing Ying displayed the City Lord's Command.
The eight Venerates of Heavens simultaneously bowed their heads, followed by the thunderous opening of the heavy thousand-meter tomb gate.
Within, it was pitch black.
Of course, the darkness didn't affect Chu Qin in the slightest; his Eye of the World naturally activated.
Following that, Chu Qin, leading the others, entered the Tianming Immortal King Tomb.
Just as Bing Shu had described, this place formed a space of its own. Entering the tomb was like entering the Cosmic Void, the only difference being that there were no light sources here.
Chu Qin, with just a glance, saw many lethal arrays!
Of course, for Chu Qin, these arrays posed almost no threat.
Still, since this was his wife's ancestral tomb, Chu Qin was not a destroyer.
"Young Master Chu, can you hear me talking?" At this moment, Bing Shu's voice rang out beside Chu Qin's ears.
"Eh, it's City Lord Bing Shu's voice!" exclaimed Jiucail Xuan Nu, slightly surprised.
"Hmm, yes!" nodded Chu Qin.
"Young Master Chu, you can follow my instructions to enter the tomb." Bing Shu spoke with a hint of laughter in her voice.
Chu Qin and the others followed Bing Shu's guidance, now moving east, then west, and smoothly bypassed one lethal array after another, arriving at a Bronze Gate at the far end of the Void.
On the Bronze Gate was a clear Taiji Bagua pattern, the last array.
"Young Master Chu, I'll teach you the incantation. Once you recite the incantation, you can enter the ancestral tomb chamber," said Bing Shu.
"Hmm, go ahead."
"Heavenly Dao, profound and mysterious, spirits of depth travel to and fro..."
Chu Qin followed Bing Shu's guidance and finally recited the last incantation.
However, the unexpected happened.
The Bronze Gate did not open; instead, behind Chu Qin and the others, a hundred thousand fully armed Iron Armor people suddenly appeared.
"Ah!" Li Qingcheng, Long Xue, Jiucail Xuan Nu, Luo Yuan, and Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable were all shocked.
"What's going on, how did the Iron Armor Celestial Formation get triggered!" In front of the Great Void Celestial Mirror, Bing Shu exclaimed in surprise, "Someone has altered the tomb's death array! Who could it be?"
"Young Master Chu, it definitely wasn't me!" Bing Shu quickly said. She was afraid that Chu Qin would misunderstand her. If that happened, the Tianming Forbidden Area would have truly offended Chu Qin to death!
"Rest assured, I believe you."
"It seems that someone just doesn't want me to enter this chamber," Chu Qin said with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, Bing Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said with confusion, "Who could it be? Could it be that there's a traitor within our Tianming Forbidden Area?"
"I don't know. However, I am determined to enter this chamber!"
"Kill!"
A mighty voice rang out as a hundred thousand Iron Armor beings shouted the word "kill" together, and then they all charged towards Chu Qin and the others.
One could see that these Iron Armor beings were no ordinary people; they all exuded a terrible aura akin to that of an Earthly Venerate.
This was an Iron Armor Celestial Formation composed of a hundred thousand Earthly Venerates!
However, for Chu Qin, these Iron Armor beings were not to be feared at all.
With a wave of his sleeve, a number of supreme dragons rushed out from within his sleeve.
In an instant, the dragons tore through the Cang Qiong, obliterating all of the Iron Armor beings!
"Young Master Chu, be careful! Inside the tomb, as soon as one death array is activated, all the others will follow!" Bing Shu warned.
As expected, the moment the Iron Armor death array was broken, blinding beams of light appeared in the Void in front of Chu Qin, and various phenomena such as lava reaching a height of a million meters, tsunamis, and storms, began thunderously surging!
"So many!" Chu Qin exclaimed with a slight surprise.
"Our ancestor was skilled in setting up arrays; there are a total of eighty-one Immortal Arrays in this chamber!" Bing Shu explained.
"Then, Bing Shu, it's fine if I break the Bronze Gate, right?" Chu Qin asked.
"It's okay, but this Bronze Gate is cast from billion-year Profound Iron, strong..."
Before Bing Shu could finish speaking, a sudden explosion sounded, and Chu Qin, holding the Blood Chi Sword, had already shattered the gate with a single slash.
The moment the Bronze Gate shattered, Chu Qin and the others entered it.
"It's actually the Youming Xian Di's Blood Chi Immortal Sword!" Bing Shu exclaimed in surprise, "Snatched from the hands of the Lord of Blood Demon Sha?"
"Mmm, this is the sword of an Immortal Emperor?" Chu Qin said, slightly surprised.
"It was once the sword of an Immortal Emperor, one of the most infamous weapons in the Nine Heavens, possessing the powerful ability to devour the immortal power of Immortal Artifacts! During the battles of the Immortal Emperor, Youming Xian Di once used it to devour the power of several Immortal Emperor Artifacts, but the Blood Chi Sword also lost its original power due to the overwhelming energy. Otherwise, if the power of the Blood Chi Sword were still present, Young Master Chu, you would not be a match for the Lord of Blood Demon Sha."
"Even so, the Blood Chi Sword is not comparable to ordinary Immortal Artifacts. No wonder it was able to shatter the Bronze Gate," Bing Shu explained.
"Such a storied Immortal Artifact!" Chu Qin said, showing great interest in the Blood Chi Sword, "Do you think its power could be awakened?"
"I don't know about that," Bing Shu said with a slight smile.
"Let's put that aside, the urgent task is to find the Eternal Ancient Fire," Chu Qin said as he put away the Blood Chi Sword.
"The Eternal Ancient Fire?" Bing Shu exclaimed again, "Isn't that the legendary immortal fire that can burn everything to ashes?"
Only then did Chu Qin realize he had let something slip.
It would be hard to cover up in a short time.
He simply chose not to say any more!
This caused Bing Shu to show a look of surprise.
