Chapter 695 - Still Alive!
The dragon vein that was formed after tens of thousands of years was gradually divided among Little Fatty, Su Zimo and Lin Xuanji.
Little Fatty took up 50% with the help of Tomb Sect’s Yellow Springs Diagram.
With the help of the Ancient Dragonification Art, Su Zimo obtained 40%!
Lin Xuanji tried his best to release the secret skill of Enigma Palace but only managed to obtain 10% in the end.
In the mortal realm, any vassal state that captured a dragon vein could grow swiftly and develop into a dynasty that could dominate over a part of the world!
Fortune was something that was illusory and there would be no immediate rise in one’s strength after obtaining it. However, it had a huge impact for the future of the cultivator.
The greater the fortune, the more opportunities and encounters that would occur.
In fact, it could even reach the extent of converting disasters to blessings and altering one’s fate!
Lin Xuanji gripped his fists tightly and glared at Su Zimo with indignance. He was so worked up that his teeth were chattering. “Su Zimo, you’re really a jinx!”
Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression.
Little fox laughed. “Mister Lin, you said it yourself that the dragon vein will go to whoever is capable of capturing it and you won’t regret it at all!”
“I won’t regret… I won’t regret!”
Lin Xuanji panted and said gloomily, “But I’ll feel spite!”
Monkey and the others watched by the sidelines with gloating expressions as they burst into laughter.
Naturally, all of them wished for Su Zimo to obtain the dragon vein.
“I’ve realized that nothing good ever comes out of bumping into you!”
Lin Xuanji sighed and turned even more moody when he thought about what happened during their first encounter at the Dragon Bone Valley.
It was the same thing the previous time round.
That dragon egg should have been his.
However, it was consumed by this seemingly frail scholar and a useless dog!
“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”
Lin Xuanji hopped in rage when he thought about what happened in the past.
He rushed in front of Su Zimo and asked spitefully, “Where’s that big black dog? Where did it go? I’ve got to get closer to it now that we haven’t seen one another for so many years!”
Su Zimo spread his hands to both sides and smiled faintly. “It’s not with me. Your plans are going to fail again.”
He could tell right away that Lin Xuanji was harboring designs on Night Spirit again.
“How unlucky!”
Lin Xuanji wished that he could slap himself right now as he glared at Su Zimo begrudgingly. “Once we leave this place, let’s part ways! I’ve got to keep my distance from you in the future!”
“I’ve discovered that everything in this world has their counters. You are born to jinx me!”
Su Zimo coughed gently and patted Lin Xuanji on the shoulder, saying with a fake serious tone, “Let’s not talk about jinxing and whatnot. That’s going to hurt our relationship.”
“Hmph!”
Lin Xuanji rolled his eyes.
Right then, a sigh echoed from the voids.
The next moment, the palace went into dead silence!
Everyone stood motionlessly on the spot, as though their limbs were bound by an invisible force. Their expressions were frozen and their eyes were filled with confusion, surprise and fear…
A faint repressing aura engulfed downwards.
Against the pressure, all of them felt insignificant like ants!
There was another existence in that palace!
An existence that was far more powerful than everyone present!
An evil gust of wind blew past.
The temperature of the entire palace dipped!
Everyone’s hairs stood on end and they shuddered.
“Ah!”
Little fox was frightened and reverted to her true form, burrowing herself into Su Zimo’s embrace as she shuddered.
Even the spirit tiger and the Golden Lion who were manly were now trembling in fear, let alone her.
“Could you show yourself, senior?”
Su Zimo took a deep breath and surveyed his surroundings before asking.
The aura emanated by the existence was extremely scary!
In fact, it could kill any of them in the palace with ease, including him!
Rather than lose his wits, Su Zimo chose to stand out and converse with the existence directly.
“Someone has finally arrived after so many years.”
The voice rang again, filled with sadness and emotions.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
There was probably only a single person in the tomb who would spout such words…
Everyone turned towards the sound.
The skeleton that sat in front of the electric pool shifted sinisterly.
Possibly because it had not moved for tens of thousands of years, the skeleton creaked as though it could scatter at any moment.
Immediately after, right in front of everyone, the skeleton stood up!
Psst!
Everyone gasped.
The Golden Lion’s fur stood on ends and made his entire body seem much larger!
Monkey, the spirit tiger and everyone else nearly had their hearts pop out of their throats.
Lin Xuanji placed one of his hands behind his back and his fingers moved rapidly as they divined.
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze and was rather composed.
He was not dead!
The Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect from tens of thousands of years ago has survived till now!
The Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect stood up and the robes that were initially draped on his body turned into dust and dispersed, unable to withstand the corrosion of time.
There was no flesh on the skeleton. However, there was a faint light spot shining from its glabella, flickering with a sliver of life.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The skeleton turned its head and surveyed everyone with its empty sockets. Finally, it lingered for a moment on Su Zimo before looking away.
Su Zimo felt a strange sensation.
Although the Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect had no eyes, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that the Mighty Figure was looking at him oddly – it was as though the Mighty Figure was pinning some hopes on him.
Su Zimo could not sense any hostility from this Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect using his spirit perception.
Of course, for an expert of that level, if he wanted to kill everyone present, he could even conceal the heavenly secrets with a single thought, let alone escape Su Zimo’s spirit perception.
Su Zimo looked over to Lin Xuanji at the side.
He could not see any fear in Lin Xuanji’s eyes at the moment as well.
Su Zimo was relieved.
The skeleton walked down the steps and closed in to Little Fatty, gazing at the Yellow Springs Diagram in the latter’s hand silently in a daze.
Little Fatty was almost frightened to tears.
A moment later, the skeleton reached out and grazed its finger gently across the Yellow Springs Diagram.
It was like a farewell.
Little Fatty was almost scared out of his wits in the face of the skeleton and could not think about anything else.
He propped up the Yellow Springs Diagram with both hands, unsure whether he should hold on to it or pass it over.
“Senior, I’m only here to retrieve this utmost treasure of Tomb Sect from the orders of the elders.”
“I did not know that you were still alive!”
Little Fatty’s voice was almost whimpering. “Senior, although I’ve got a lot of flesh on my body, I’m not delicious…”
He was completely scared out of his wits.
“Fatty!”
Su Zimo called softly.
At that moment, Su Zimo used a Sanskrit secret skill from the Buddhist sects that had the effect of clearing one’s mind.
Little Fatty had lost his rationality completely at the moment. If he did not sober up, there would be the danger of him veering off onto the wrong path in his future cultivation due to this trauma!
His sobbing stopped and his eyes widened, slightly lost.
“Fatty, sober up!”
Su Zimo said darkly, “If this senior wanted to harm you, he would have done so a long time ago! There’s no need for him to let you take away the Yellow Springs Diagram and leave the dragon vein of this place for you.”
When he heard that, Little Fatty was enlightened and his initially flustered heart calmed down gradually.
The skeleton looked at Su Zimo deeply and nodded.
