“This piece of the stone tablet, with handwriting similar to that of the Qing Emperor, collect it.”
Lu Changsheng discovered the ruined stone tablet within the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum; on the tablet were the Qing Emperor’s inscriptions, suggesting that the Qing Emperor had engraved his genuine teachings here, and perhaps they were some sort of Cultivation Technique.
“And this piece of metal.”
Lu Changsheng found a fragment of metal, its material unknown.
It must be no ordinary object being found in the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum, so he collected it.
Underneath a stone, Lu Changsheng discovered a flower with thirteen different colors on its petals; although he did not know the species, one thing was certain—this flower was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from the Qing Emperor’s era.
Because the Ancient Formation of the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum had frozen time, this extraordinary flower had survived until now.
Lu Changsheng transplanted the marvelous flower into the medicinal garden of his Inner World, cultivating it alongside the Ginseng Fruit Tree and Pan Peach Tree.
Lu Changsheng found dozens of “exquisite and rare treasures” in the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum, all of which he collected, planning to bestow them on his disciple in the future.
Several hundred powerful auras descended upon the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum; among them, one person had a square face, exuding dignity, surrounded by a golden dragon-shaped Gang Qi, his presence steady and terrifying.
By his side was an old eunuch, and accompanying them were several hundred Golden Armored Guards.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man’s arrival, Zuo Jianqing hurriedly greeted him: “I pay respect to Your Majesty.”
“Dispense with the formalities.”
The color of the Immortal Dragon Emperor’s face was as dark as iron, his brows and eyes filled with anger.
He had learned from the news sent back by Zuo Jianqing that his third son had been possessed by an Evil Spirit.
Not long ago, his ninth son was captured by the Cold Bone Demon Venerable, and now with the death of his third son, the Immortal Dragon Emperor was furiously enraged.
“Father Emperor, about the third brother…”
Seeing the Immortal Dragon Emperor arrive, the Princess also abandoned the treasure hunt to come and greet him.
“I have heard about the course of the events from General Zuo. Grand Preceptor Xu was misled and implicated my son, he deserved his fate. He also let the Evil Spirit escape, I fear it will throw the Immortal Realms into disorder…”
Amidst his anger, the Immortal Dragon Emperor couldn’t help but sigh.
If someone else had killed his son, he could have held their whole clan accountable, but his son was overwritten by an Evil Spirit from Ancient Times, an existence that even the Immortal Dragon Emperor was not sure he could overcome, let alone kill it for revenge.
“So the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum is destroyed like this, have you discovered anything here?”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor’s attention returned to the body of the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum.
With the destruction of the Underground Palace and the complete cessation of the Ancient Formation’s operation, the Immortal Dragon Emperor could finally see the true face of the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum.
The Princess said: “Inside the Emperor’s Tomb, there was a Divine Sword used to seal the Evil Spirit which was first obtained by Grand Preceptor Xu. However, according to what Grand Preceptor Xu said before his death, the Divine Sword had been corrupted by the Evil Spirit and later taken by it.”
The old eunuch interjected: “This old servant guesses that the sword must have been the Magical Treasure used by the Qing Emperor back then. Who knows how many demons and monsters died under this sword? Now that the Qing Emperor Sword has been Refined by the Evil Spirit, a catastrophe is inevitable, and the consequences are unpredictable. If the Evil Spirit hides within our Immortal Domains, countless beings could suffer, and we are unable to stop it…”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor snorted coldly: “He has been sealed by the Qing Emperor for eons, already at the end of his strength. If he dares to remain in the Immortal Domains, neither the Heavenly Emperor nor the eight Divine Palaces will let him go. Not all the Ancient Human Emperors have perished; some Ancient Great Emperors are still alive, such as the Heavenly Emperor.”
“Also, Daoist Lu’s disciple is currently receiving the Green Emperor Inheritance in that stele.”
“What?!”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor and the old eunuch both expressed great surprise.
There was indeed an inheritance of the Qing Emperor within the mausoleum, and this opportunity was obtained by Lu Changsheng’s disciple?
“Since it is the heir chosen by the Qing Emperor, this is a tremendous opportunity for her, and nothing must go wrong on her path. Disperse.”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor gave a signal, and hundreds of Imperial Guards formed a Great Formation to protect the stele, preventing any interference with the inheritance.
“The Qing Emperor did not establish any Holy Land or Sect back in his day, and people thought he had left no inheritance. Unexpectedly, the Qing Emperor left the inheritance within this stele. The intention behind his action is unknown, but regardless, the inheritance of the Qing Emperor’s Tribe has finally found a successor…”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor was quite pleased.
After all, the Qing Emperor was one of the ancestors of the Human Race; it was a good thing that his offspring could receive the Green Emperor Inheritance.
“Lu Changsheng, we meet again.”
While waiting for Lu Qinglian to come out, the Immortal Dragon Emperor finally spoke directly to Lu Changsheng.
The two had met before in Qianyuan Cave Heaven and the Heavenly Court gathering, but had not truly interacted.
Now that Lu Changsheng had risen to fame at the Heavenly Court meeting by defeating Emperor Ku, and his disciple was receiving the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, the Immortal Dragon Emperor decided to establish ties with Lu Changsheng, as he might be of use in the future.
Even though the Immortal Dragon Emperor was a powerhouse of the Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng and his disciple possessed the aptitude for Longevity and immortality; one day they could stand as equals, therefore, the Immortal Dragon Emperor spoke to Lu Changsheng as an equal.
“This Daoist has seen Your Majesty.”
Lu Changsheng knew about the Immortal Dragon Emperor, aware that this person ruled the Immortal Dynasty, had unfathomable cultivation, and possessed part of the Supreme Imperial Physique Bloodline, being a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor’s tribe.
Making the acquaintance of the Immortal Dragon Emperor was also a good thing.
“What lineage is your disciple, that she received approval from the Qing Emperor?”
“As for that, this Daoist does not know.”
Lu Changsheng truly did not know why Lu Qinglian had the chance to receive the Qing Emperor’s inheritance.
