Chapter 755: Emperor’s Burial Land

Ye Tianling almost coughed up blood when he heard that.

’You fucking call this being "Unrestrained and Indulgent"?’

’Are you really going to defile my Dao of Absolute Invincibility like this?’

Ye Tianling was utterly speechless. He was starting to understand that nothing good ever came from running into Que De.

This exchange left him feeling as if his Primordial Qi had been severely damaged, and even his worldview was nearly overturned.

He had never imagined that Que De was a necrophiliac, and such a perverted one at that.

Then again, it seemed like Que De was never not a pervert.

"Have you found any peerless male corpses?"

Ye Tianling couldn’t be bothered to say more. He truly found it hard to understand Que De’s preferences.

"What would I do with a male corpse? It’s much harder for anyone to find out when the gender is different, okay? If not for that, I, Lord Que, would’ve been caught ages ago."

Que De started to get smug.

"...That actually seems to make a lot of sense."

Ye Tianling was at a loss for words.

"Didn’t you transform into Fang Qingxue before? How was it? A pretty good experience, right? I heard from Wan Xuegui that you even fashioned a pair of great big... spheres. They had him so mesmerized he nearly pledged his undying devotion."

As Que De brought up the past, Ye Tianling’s face immediately darkened.

"Speaking of which, Fang Qingxue is seriously badass now, no less accomplished than Ancient Fairy. She’s still looking for you everywhere, but I doubt it’s for anything good. That woman’s rise has been too fast; there’s something uncanny about it," Que De said with a serious expression.

Ye Tianling couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Fang Qingxue. Of course Ye Tianling remembered. That scene when he had met Wan Xuegui... it was practically seared into his memory. How could he possibly forget?

"Enough with the noise. Let’s figure out how to crack this place. If the Asura Martial Emperor’s corpse is intact, I’ll take it for my own use. Tell Wan Jimie that I mean no disrespect. His goal is to restore the Wan Family’s glory. In the future, I will establish a Holy Land. I’ve even thought of a name—the Ancestor Dragon Holy Land. When that time comes, he’ll be one of the Founding Elders, and you won’t be getting away either," Ye Tianling said seriously.

"Oh, this is wonderful! I, Lord Que, have been waiting for this day for a long time. You brat, you’ve finally seen the light."

Que De was clearly a little surprised, but he was also very satisfied.

Although the two of them were always ’clashing’, when it came to important matters, everyone actually had great faith in and respect for Ye Tianling.

In the past, Ye Tianling had led the trends of an era on many occasions. His Talent and genius were plain for all to see, and he had given everyone immense help.

"Yes. I have no choice. I’ve been forced down this path, so it’s time I built my own power base and gathered all my friends and siblings. We’ll have our Cultivation together, seek Enlightenment Dao together, and fight together. Developing that way will be easier and faster.

This World is far more cruel than I imagined. Without Establishment Dao, without founding my own power, I’ll always be living at the mercy of others. That’s no way to live."

Ye Tianling’s tone was heavy.

Que De nodded. "I’m fine with it. I’m just waiting for you to give the order. In fact, that old geezer Wan Jimie and I discussed this long ago. Our consensus was that if you didn’t have this realization yourself, we would never bring it up. But if you did, we would give it our all.

After all, you know how it is. If you didn’t come to this conclusion on your own, even if we helped you build a power base, you wouldn’t recognize its importance and wouldn’t be as invested. Such a power would lack a true core, that firm Dao Heart, that Strong Heart. It would never be able to grow."

Ye Tianling strongly agreed with that statement.

As a Daoist Ancestor, Que De’s years of life and breadth of knowledge were both truly extraordinary.

After Ye Tianling and Que De discussed the matter of building a power base for a while, they turned their attention to Purgatory Purple Mountain.

Their core objectives were not actually that different. Ye Tianling wanted to obtain a powerful corpse to protect himself at critical moments.

Although the Thunder Inference King had resolved almost all hidden dangers, because Ye Tianling had previously used the slaughtering method of Entering Demon and Frenzy with his Demon Heart Sword Body, this technique was now being studied and imitated by others.

As such, with this kind of slaughtering method, it was almost impossible to trace the real culprit.

According to Ye Tianling’s analysis, he had caused a huge stir. If his enemies used such a method to kill him, they wouldn’t need to have any scruples, even with the Thunder Inference King’s warning.

Because as long as they destroyed the ’husk’ used for the slaughter after the killing was done, no one would ever know who did it!

Realizing this, Ye Tianling became obsessed with the idea of obtaining a ’powerful corpse’.

Here, in an Ancient Tomb, an Emperor’s Burial Land, he should be able to get one.

However, this was the ancestral burial ground of Wan Jimie. Taking a corpse from here would indeed be highly disrespectful.

"There should be powerful corpses, but whether they can be used is hard to say. After all, this Space is very similar to the Taiyin Ancient Tomb, connecting the Buried Soul Star Domain and the Ziwei Star Domain, which is strange in itself. Furthermore, look at this mountain ridge. Nine Dragons lie prone—this is a peerless Crouching Dragon Killing Formation. What are the Nine Dragons? The Nine Dragons are actually another kind of symbolic manifestation of a Venerable.

Nine Dragon Venerable, Crouching Dragon Killing Formation, and there’s even a protective arch locking down the mountaintop. This is all meant to stand above the Nine Dragons, to shatter ten thousand Daos and establish ten thousand Laws.

And it just so happens that these ’ten thousand Daos’... likely represent the legacy technique of the Asura Emperor Soul Clan, the Ten Thousand Souls Sword Dao, which is also the Transformation Technique of the Asura Martial Emperor Technique..."

Although Que De was shameless and thick-skinned, his knowledge was truly peerless.

This was his line of work, after all. He had a unique understanding of the Earth Veins of the world’s rivers and mountains, the lay of the land, and the changes in the Heaven and Earth Laws and the Supreme Dao.

Ye Tianling could generally discern what he was talking about, but not in such detail.

On the other hand, the information Ye Tianling inferred from his Celestial Observation Technique, Celestial Secret Inference Skill, and Space-Time Tracing Method was even deeper and more comprehensive, exceeding Que De’s expectations.

As a result, the two complemented each other. Their mutual discussions made the exploration proceed much more smoothly.

As they continued their analysis, exploring the Dragon Veins and comprehending the Laws of the hidden dark regions of the world, both of their expressions grew exceptionally grim.

"Peerless is the making, madly the Nine Dragons rage. The Venerable sets the Law, with myriad Daos its stage. Yang turns to Yin; to defy fate is death for the Dao. A Thousand Tribulations converge, a hundred evils for an Emperor’s shroud."

Finally, Ye Tianling and Que De deciphered the karma within it at almost the same time and spoke a passage in an incredibly ancient Primordial Rune language.

They spoke almost in unison. After the words were out, their expressions grew even more solemn, and they both sucked in a cold breath.

"I originally just thought this was an Emperor’s Burial Land..."

"I never imagined this place was actually a land of ascension, a Celestial Dao Rule Domain, an independent Law region... like an unformed Small World! Like the World that first created the Buried Soul Star Domain!"
