Volume 3 Nine Pattern Golden Pill Chapter 4: Demonic Tomb
"I'll go to Lingxu Tower right now and retrieve the relevant information about the Demon Spirit Palace." Tan Tai Qingrun said decisively: "Wait here for a moment."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Tan Tai Qingrun's figure flashed and he disappeared in a hazy manner.
Lu Qingshan turned around and saw Qin Yitian frowning, looking thoughtful. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."
"I was just wondering why it took her half a year to figure out something, but you only needed a short while to see through it." Qin Yitian's eyes flashed brightly, and there was a hint of admiration in his tone.
Lu Qingshan laughed in silence, and did not pretend to be profound in front of Qin Yitian. "I am actually just more experienced than Tan Tai Qingrun, and I am more thoughtful. The actual gap is definitely not that big."
After a pause, Lu Qingshan explained: "It's just that the information I have is much more than hers."
The more information you have, the easier it will be to find the key points in a matter.
…
In the Nine Heavens Game of the previous life, the most famous copy of Lingxu Mansion came from the Yaoling Mountains.
Its name is, Demon Spirit Tomb.
As a super-large instance spanning three prefectures, the update of the Demon Spirit Tomb has a special expansion pack that provides a detailed background introduction:
King Gengjin Tiger, who founded the Demon Spirit Palace, built an extremely luxurious demon spirit tomb for himself when his time came.
In addition, Gengjin Tiger King also brought all the spoils he had plundered during his thousand years of ravaging the land of Qingzhou into the tomb as burial objects, among which there was even a fairy book of the human race.
This is also why, after the death of King Gengjin Tiger, some of the unruly monsters still stayed to continue the legacy of the Monster Palace.
They are not loyal to the Demon Spirit Palace, but they are simply coveting the Demon Spirit Tomb.
King Gengjin Tiger has been roaming Qingzhou for a thousand years. Just imagine how terrifying the treasures he has accumulated must be.
What's more, with the Gengjin Tiger King at the peak of the fifth level, its bones are also valuable spiritual materials.
As long as they can enter the demon's tomb, all these will be in their pockets. How can the monsters that know the situation not be tempted?
But the problem is that Gengjin Tiger King also knows the greedy habits of the monsters, so he did not tell anyone the exact location of his grave.
The monsters in the Demon Spirit Palace only knew that the Demon Spirit Tomb was located in the Demon Spirit Mountains.
The Yaoling Mountains are so vast, how easy is it to find a tomb hidden in it?
Therefore, after a drastic attempt to search without success, most of the monsters in the Monster Palace quickly gave up the idea of the Monster Tomb, left the Monster Palace, and lived their own happy lives.
Later, there was even a saying that the location of the Demon Spirit Tomb was just a cover-up put up by the Gengjin Tiger King, and it was actually not in the Demon Spirit Mountains at all.
As time passed, due to the delay in discovering the demon's tomb, this theory gradually became the mainstream trend.
It was not until this year that the Demon Spirit Tomb suddenly appeared. Only then did the others know that the Demon Spirit Palace had actually found the location of the Demon Spirit Tomb in the Demon Spirit Mountains a hundred years before the end of the Chang'an period. However, due to the layers of restrictions outside the tomb, they had been unable to break in and plunder the treasure, which was why they had kept it secret.
Later, the Demon Spirit Palace used every possible means and finally lifted the restrictions on the Demon Spirit Tomb.
But no one expected that the moment the restrictions on the Demon Spirit Tomb were lifted, it would erupt in an earth-shaking commotion that the Demon Spirit Palace could not cover up at all.
As a result, the news of the appearance of the demon spirit's tomb spread throughout the three prefectures in an instant, attracting the attention of all the sects in the three prefectures.
What is even more peculiar is that, because Gengjin Tiger King had tremendous fighting power when he was alive, his killing intent had reached its peak, almost condensing into a physical existence.
Even though he has died now, the residual power of the killing state of mind still remains. Any high-level cultivator who rashly breaks into the tomb of demon spirits will be regarded as an enemy by the remaining state of mind of King Gengjin Tiger and will be attacked.
With Gengjin Tiger King at the peak of the fifth rank, the strongest cultivator in the three prefectures was only at the Nascent Soul stage. No one dared to confront him, so no high-level cultivator dared to enter the tomb.
On the contrary, cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, because of their weak strength, may be like ants to the Gengjin Tiger King, so they can be immune to the attack of this artistic conception.
With countless cultivators and monsters coming to the palace, the Demon Spirit Palace could no longer monopolize the monster tomb and could only open it to all cultivators to explore together.
…
Against this background, the Demon Spirit Tomb became an open copy for all players, an ultra-large copy for the Foundation Establishment Period to the Golden Core Period.
Moreover, since the demon tomb is filled with monks from the three prefectures, and demon beasts have also entered, fighting for the treasure of the Gengjin Tiger King, it can be said that there are battles and killings happening all the time. The bloodiness of the fight was so intense that all the players were very excited when it was first opened.
Of course, judging from this expansion pack, the matter of the demon tomb does not seem to have much to do with the monks in the underworld.
The turning point appeared in the demon's tomb.
When the first group of cultivators who had entered were still exploring the periphery of the demon's tomb, a group of mysterious cultivators, carrying the corpse of the Gengjin Tiger King, rushed out from the depths of the tomb and left without warning despite the siege of everyone.
Later, the identities of these mysterious monks were confirmed.
It is the monk from the underworld.
…
Since the Demon Spirit Tomb is the first large-scale open copy in the Nine Heavens, it is quite popular and Lu Qingshan has always been paying attention to the news about it.
So when a player with a curious mind posted this plot video on the forum, Lu Qingshan also joined in the fun and was deeply impressed.
Although the relationship between the underworld and the Demon Palace is not directly explained in the plot, Lu Qingshan discovered a very important point.
Why is it that when other cultivators are still getting familiar with the environment in the tomb, the cultivators from the underworld can already go straight into the core area?
Is it because the monks in the underworld are so powerful?
This is obviously not possible. Even if there is a gap, it will never be so big.
The biggest possibility is that the so-called first group of cultivators who entered the demon tomb were not the real first group.
Perhaps several days ago, the monks from the underworld had already entered the demon’s tomb.
The Demon Spirit Tomb is the most important secret of the Demon Spirit Palace. It is unlikely that the underworld can bypass the Demon Spirit Palace and enter it first.
The fact that the Demon Spirit Palace and the Underworld had been cooperating secretly was naturally a foregone conclusion.
Combined with the fact that the underworld suddenly gained power in the past hundred years, it has made it difficult for Lingxu Tower to recover.
It happened that during this hundred years, the Demon Spirit Palace discovered the demon spirit tomb, which had previously been unknown.
I can't say that I'm 100% sure, but the possibility that the Demon Palace and the Underworld have already been in collusion is definitely very high.
