Chapter 1812: An Unnerved Kui Luo

"That child is neither focused nor serious about his cultivation. What if his reporting leaks something even more important some day?" someone commented.

The old woman casually replied, "Everyone has their own path, and he is walking down his own. Others similarly walk down their own paths, and there is no need to take responsibility for another’s affairs."

The picture of the tribulation crystal pillar had been taken by Wu Dan, the man who aspired to be the greatest reporter in the universe.

In the Neoverse, at the peak of Mt. Microcosms, Arch-Elder Zen had his hands clasped behind his back as he stared at a screen with Tombkeeper on it. "Is this what you expected? Burial Garden remained closed not just because the Rune Progenitor’s remnant power blocked the Sixth Mainland, but more so because it was not yet time. You have waited many years for this moment."

Tombkeeper looked back at Arch-Elder Zen through muddyeyes. “It is not me, but Burial Garden itself. Burial Garden has been waiting for many years."

"Waiting for the ancient bloodlines?" Arch-Elder Zen pressed.



Best

Tombkeeper let out a sigh. "Burial Garden was originally a cemetery from the ancient era. In order to awaken anything from back then, only the ancient bloodlines will suffice."

"Why haven’t you sought them out yourselves?" Arch-Elder Zen asked.

Tombkeeper just shook his head. "We don't have any means of tracking down those with ancient bloodlines. Only the Aeternals are capable of that, and we cannot cooperate with them."

A complicated light could be seen in Arch-Elder Zen’s eyes. Progenitor Hui had put in play an elaborate plan, and it almost seemed as though some invisible hand had delayed Burial Garden’s opening. Progenitor Hui had even been able to scheme against the Aeternals and predict their actions, so there was no telling what the final results of his plot would be.

Arch-Elder Zen could not resist asking, "Who were the ones Burial Garden was waiting for?"

Tombkeeper shook his head. "That I don't know. All I know since the day I became Tombkeeper is that Burial Garden has always been waiting for the ancient bloodlines to appear."

"Are the ancient bloodlines Burial Garden’s ultimate goal?" Arch-Elder Zen continued his questions.

Tombkeeper stared back at Arch-Elder Zen. "I don't know."

Arch-Elder Zen frowned. This was quite frustrating. Progenitor Hui had used the Fifth Mainland’s Astral Tower competition to plot against the Aeternals, weakening their forces in the Fifth Mainland while simultaneously getting revenge against the Sixth Mainland. However, what about Burial Garden? Who had left Burial Garden behind? Had it really sat there, waiting, for countless years, all for the ancient bloodlines?

Why had the power behind Burial Garden believed that the ancient bloodlines would eventually be hunted down by the Aeternals? Could that unknown powerhouse have seen these modern day events from the past? Was it possible to actually see the future?

Arch-Elder Zen could not help but think of the Starsibyl Sect, as well as the legendary Ancient Progenitor, Destiny.

Tombkeeper had no more information to share, so Arch-Elder Zen ended the call and went to find the First Protector of Mt. Microcosms.

"What? You want me to go into Burial Garden?" The First Protector was completely confused.

Arch-Elder Zen was solemn as he replied, "Yes, go into Burial Garden. Keep an eye on all those with ancient bloodlines. I want you to see how they interact with the various ancient inheritances."

The First Protector’s face twitched. "Ancient…"

Anything connected to this word would not be easy to deal with. Others might not know, and the First Protector only knew a little, but what did “ancient” really mean? Not even the time of Progenitor Chen was considered an ancient era, though it had certainly been the age of legends. While Semi-Progenitors had not exactly been ants during that era, there had been many Progenitors, and all of them had become legendary figures.

For example, as soon as figures such as the God of Death or Destiny were involved, even a Semi-Progenitor would struggle. The First Protector did not want to die, as he had always feared the prospect of death.



"But I am the First Protector of Mt. Microcosms. My responsibility is to protect Mt. Microcosms. I don't want to go into Burial Garden." The First Protector bluntly refused his orders.

Arch-Elder Zen repeated, "Enter Burial Garden."

The First Protector’s heart sank, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "I really don't want to go into Burial Garden! Please send Qing Ping. He is much better suited for this than I am."

Arch-Elder Zen stared at the man. "Enter Burial Garden."

The First Protector was speechless. "What about sending Lu Yin? That brat can deal with anything!"

The Semi-Progenitor merely stared at the First Protector.

Finally, the First Protector of Mt. Microcosms agreed. It was all he could do.

Why was there so much trouble popping up all at once? First the Technocracy, and then Burial Garden. One issue after another kept appearing, and the Hall of Honor could not easily deal with everything.

The First Protector was forced to enter Burial Garden, but at the same time, the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect was not idle. One by one, powerhouses from the Daosource Sect entered Burial Garden, and even one of the Four Empyreans, Mr. Lifeview, entered Burial Garden.

At this time, many experts entered Burial Garden from the Outerverse, as the Sixth Mainland was eager to get hold of some tribulation crystal pillars. At the same time, they were very worried about the reported sighting of Progenitor Chen.

If Progenitor Chen was still alive, the Sixth Mainland would be in grave trouble.

Only two days passed, but in this short amount of time, many powerhouses from all over the Human Domain had been drawn into Burial Garden. At this time, news was released that shocked everyone: the Neohuman Alliance had attacked the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect.

Many of the sect’s experts were killed, and all of the Daosource Sect’s hidden strength had been forced into the open. It was revealed that they had four Semi-Progenitors, though Semi-Progenitor Jiu San was killed.

This report left the entire universe in silence.

The Neohuman Alliance was not a group that did not pursue revenge. Corpse God had been killed by the Sixth Mainland, and vengeance had been coming. Still, no one had expected the Neohuman Alliance’s revenge to be so direct and ruthless. They had actually attacked the Daosource Sect!

The true Daosource Sect within the Sixth Mainland had already been destroyed by the Aeternals. So, the place in the Outerverse was merely a symbolic location. The Sixth Mainland’s most hallowed place had been destroyed, and this second destruction was nothing less than a slap in the face.

In particular, Semi-Progenitor Jiu San’s death caused countless people from the Sixth Mainland to grind their teeth. Jiu San had not only been a Semi-Progenitor, but also the Progenitor of Combat’s great grandson. He was the only living member of the Progenitor of Combat’s immediate family, and the man had just been killed.

The man’s death induced a sense of shock that exceeded people’s imagination.

Two days after the Daosource Sect was attacked, the Progenitor of Combat’s power swept across the universe, causing countless people to tremble.

One of the Sixth Mainland’s other Semi-Progenitors reached out to speak with Arch-Elder Zen, but no one knew the contents of their conversation.

In the Outerverse, the Daosource Sect was standing in Southside Weave. At the moment, the entire weave was immersed in rage and mourning.

The Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect had once stood at the center of the weave.

When the Aeternals attacked the Sixth Mainland, their Daosource Sect had already been destroyed, which had meant that the Daosource Sects on the other six Mainlands must have already disappeared. After that, the Daosource Sect in Southside Weave remained as the only surviving remnant of the Daosource Sects.

Despite being nothing more than a memorial, the Daosource Sect in Southside Weave had still been constructed to possess an incomparable sense of glory and power. Four Semi-Progenitors had remained in the sect, and the Four Empyreans were responsible for the Sixth Mainland as a whole.

Jiu San had been a Semi-Progenitor, and yet he had still been killed. The three surviving Semi-Progenitors moved out to speak with the Hall of Honor. It was clear that they wanted to get their own revenge on the Neohuman Alliance.

Everyone was waiting for the Sixth Mainland’s retaliation.

A figure quietly sneaked into the Daosource Sect. "I’m already an old man, but I still haven’t been everywhere! I’ve pissed on the four ruling powers’ ancestral homes, but I’ve never been in a Daosource Sect! All that’s left of it nowadays are legends and this remnant in this mainland. It’s really too bad that the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect has already been destroyed. This is the only one left that I can sneak into. It might be fake, but that doesn't matter!”

Just outside the Daosource Sect, Madam Hong was tied up. Her face betrayed her indignation and despair. This shriveled old man even wanted to break into the Daosource Sect! However, he had also mentioned that the sect had just been attacked, which meant that their vigilance would be at an all-time low.

Madam Hong had been clueless as to how many Semi-Progenitors the Daosource Sect had kept hidden. She had heard that half of their Semi-Progenitors had been killed when the Aeternals invaded the Sixth Mainland, but there had still been so many left! Just where had all of these old freaks lived before this?

She prayed that the three Semi-Progenitors would not find the old man, and that the old geezer would not babble about the things he knew about her. She did not want to die, let alone be branded a traitor.

This old man was too brazen and was too willing to take risks. He was doomed to grace an early grave. Hurry up and die!

Naturally, Kui Luo was the one who had snuck into the Daosource Sect. He had long since dreamed of visiting the Daosource Sect, and what could possibly be more exciting than sneaking in? This was the lone sect that had endured since ancient times when it had been the sole ruler of all the Mainlands. Naturally, it was the place that held the greatest secrets.

The Daosource Sect was simply too appealing to someone like Kui Luo.

Still, he had had known that there were powerhouses hidden within the Daosource Sect who would make sneaking in an incredible challenge. Luckily for Kui Luo, the Daosource Sect had just been attacked by the Neohuman Alliance, and it had been revealed that the sect was home to three Semi-Progenitors. No one would possibly be dumb enough to try to sneak into the Daosource Sect at this time. Armed with this information, that was precisely why Kui Luo chose this moment for his infiltration.

Just as he expected, the Daosource Sect’s defenses were quite low when he arrived, and the protective sourcebox array had already been destroyed by the Neohuman Alliance. Kui Luo managed to sneak into the innermost depths of the sect.

Half a day later, Kui Luo raced out of the Daosource Sect while screaming. A stern voice shouted from behind, "Die thief!"

Space shattered. Kui Luo looked completely disheveled and embarrassed as he fled. His face suddenly turned purple, and he spat out blood after traveling a great distance from the Daosource Sect. It was at this moment that he finally looked back. He patted his chest, as he felt quite lucky. "Thankfully I’ve lived for quite long, so I’ve managed to gather enough things to save my life. Without those, that old freak would have stopped me.

"But who was that? They’re enshrined in the deepest regions of the Daosource Sect, and everyone is worshiping them. Could the three Progenitors worship that person as well?" The thought gave Kui Luo chills, and he shook his head before moving further away.

Kui Luo breaking into the Daosource Sect sent waves rolling through the Human Domain yet again.

Arch-Elder Zen struggled to believe the news when he received word. Even after the Neohuman Alliance’s attack, was there really still someone brazen enough to sneak into the Daosource Sect? And they had actually succeeded and escaped from the three Semi-Progenitors? This person was absolutely one of the most powerful Semi-Progenitors alive.

There were very few Semi-Progenitors alive at the moment, and although Arch-Elder Zen did not know about those from the Sixth Mainland, this person definitely was not someone from the Sixth Mainland. However, after considering his peers, Arch-Elder Zen could not think of anyone who would even consider attempting such a thing.

Wait, could it have been him? Arch-Elder Zen suddenly remembered a certain Semi-Progenitor who had come from the Perennial World. That person had not seemed to be a very serious person…

As soon as he thought about this, Arch-Elder Zen called Lu Yin, but he was not able to get through.



Lu Yin and Si Xiao'er were still wandering around Grayweed Continent.

"It's already been more than a month, and we still can't find anything. This doesn’t seem to be the right way to go about this." Lu Yin was becoming quite frustrated. He could not move around too quickly, as doing so would easily reveal him. But at their current rate, he had no idea how long it would take to explore the entire Grayweed Continent.

The Aeternals were also searching for Burial Garden’s gates. Not only were they not restricted by how quickly they could move, but there were far more of them searching.

Lu Yin was desperate to find a gate to Burial Garden, but the chances of doing so were abysmal.

Si Xiao'er asked, "Is there any other way to search?"

Lu Yin shook his head. He had also been trying to think of another method, and they had run into several people along their travels, but everyone had been from the Starfall Sea. Lu Yin had been hoping to run into others who had come out from Burial Garden.

Burial Garden’s gate appeared seemingly at random, and Lu Yin could not understand why they appeared in certain places and not others. The most likely answer was that they had been set up in advance, as anything else indicated that Burial Garden possessed an unfathomable power that allowed them to send their gates to any place within the entire Human Domain.
