111: eerie tomb

After they finished speaking, the two stayed in Sunset Ancient City for two days.

Finally, on the evening of the second day, they began their grave-digging plan.

Originally, Lin Xiao was going to dig the grave on the first night.

However, he suddenly had an epiphany in his Cultivation and needed time to Cultivate, which forced him to postpone the plan until the evening of the second day.

"Old Ancestor, should we start now?" Lin Xiao asked, looking at Old Ancestor Lin Changqing, who had a mischievous smile.

"Hehehe, of course. With the moon hidden and the wind high, it's the perfect time to act," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing chuckled.

As he spoke, he pulled out a shovel from somewhere.

Good heavens, a Luoyang shovel! Lin Xiao thought, staring blankly at the shovel in Old Ancestor Lin Changqing's hand.

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and go!"

"The Xiao Family has had several fallen Great Saints in its history. There should be many good things buried in these graves," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing laughed.

As he spoke, he mentally calculated the Xiao Family's feng shui layout, then began digging beside an inconspicuous large tree.

"Old Ancestor, why are we digging? Wouldn't it be better if we just used our magical power to dissolve the earth?" Lin Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

The soil next to the Xiao Family was just ordinary soil.

A casual wave of a Spell could make it vanish in an instant.

"Hehe, we're doing this, of course, to guard against the Xiao Family's Spell formations," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing chuckled.

"The Xiao Family members, to prevent their ancestral graves from being robbed, will surely set up a formidable grand formation. By using pure manual labor, we can perfectly bypass the formation's detection."

"And we only need to simply use magical power to conceal our auras, then we can perfectly pass through the Restrictions set by the Xiao Family and dig up their ancestral graves," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing added.

"So that's how it is," Lin Xiao said, nodding after hearing this, then also started digging with a shovel.

And just as Lin Xiao and the other person were acting, on the other side of the Xiao Family's grave mountain.

Xiao Yan also had a grinning face, holding grave-digging tools, and began to act cautiously.

"Xiao Family, Xiao Family, you dared to provoke me. Today, I'll steal your ancestors!" Xiao Yan laughed.

While Cultivating yesterday, he had diligently studied a large amount of feng shui knowledge.

He now understood the layout of the Xiao Family's feng shui arrangement perfectly clear.

Moreover, when Xiao Yan went to the Taixuan Sword Sect's treasury yesterday, he specifically chose a mid-tier Sacred Artifact that could conceal his aura.

With this Sacred Artifact, Xiao Yan was not afraid of being discovered by the Xiao Family members at all.

As for the Restrictions, they were even simpler.

Previously, when Xiao Yan was in the Blood Spirit Realm, he obtained a Restriction-breaking awl, which was specifically used to remove Restrictions.

He never had a chance to use it before, but now he finally did.

Thinking this, Xiao Yan also began to act, and the two groups slowly dug towards the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor's grave mound.

"Strange, why do I feel a bit odd tonight?" a Xiao Family guard murmured, looking at the stars twinkling in the sky.

He didn't know why, but he felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if his ancestral grave was about to be dug up by someone else.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his companion next to him patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking? You're always so superstitious. Let's hurry up and patrol. We'll be changing shifts in two hours."

"Hehe, you're right. It seems I was overthinking it," the Xiao Family guard said.

After speaking, he walked away with his three companions.

— — — — — — — —

Because there was a Great Saint Realm Expert overseeing them, Lin Xiao and the other person quickly passed through the layers of Restrictions on the Xiao Family's grave mountain and arrived inside an underground palace.

"Hehe, Xiao'er, we've arrived. Come, let's go in and take a look."

"This underground palace should be where the Xiao Family buries its ancestors, designed with a clear Heaven and Earth Four Directions layout."

"The East is guarded by an Azure Dragon sculpture, the West by a White Tiger sculpture, the South by a Vermilion Bird sculpture, and the North by a Black Tortoise sculpture."

"The Four Symbols suppress the four directions, encircling to prevent the Family's Luck from leaking."

"It seems the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor indeed has some tricks up his sleeve, but he's still a bit lacking compared to the Lin Clan," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing said with a slight smile.

As he spoke, he activated his Heavenly Eye and began searching for the Xiao Family's Saint Realm Expert's tomb.

Every tomb qualified to enter the Xiao Family's underground palace belonged to an owner who, at the very least, possessed Half-Saint Realm strength during their lifetime.

Lin Xiao and the other person didn't care for Half-Saint Realm tombs, but Lin Xiao was interested in Saint, Saint, or Great Saint Realm tombs.

Even if there were no burial treasures, stealing the bones was also an option.

After all, Saints become Saints by comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth; although their Physical Bodies perish.

However, their bones are engraved with the great Dao runes of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and taking them back for the Lin Clan Disciples to comprehend and Cultivate would be excellent.

Moreover, Saint bones are generally extremely hard, unbreakable by anything less than a supreme divine weapon.

So, besides being used for Cultivation, Saint bones can also be used to forge Sacred Artifacts.

"Hehe, I found it! Xiao'er, you go look around on your own first, but don't disturb the Restrictions. I'll be back soon," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing suddenly said at this moment.

Looking at the dark and winding tomb tunnel ahead, his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had discovered something good.

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly vanished from the spot, heading into the distance.

"It's time for me to act too," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

His Luck Golden Eyes activated, and he began to scan the situation within the underground palace.

Inside the underground palace were countless secret chambers, each burying a member of the Xiao Family.

And on every deceased Xiao Family member, there must still be a trace of Luck power remaining.

Therefore, Lin Xiao could roughly deduce the tomb owner's approximate strength during their lifetime based on the Luck power contained within.

Under the effect of the Luck Golden Eyes, countless faint golden Luck soon appeared before Lin Xiao's eyes within the underground palace.

"Oh, what is this?"

Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly saw a ball of light containing immense Luck power emanating from a tomb not far away.

This ball of light was infinitely vaster than those in other tombs, like the moon.

Compared to it, the Luck in all other tombs paled in comparison.

"Could this be a Great Saint tomb?" Lin Xiao wondered.

As he spoke, he carefully bypassed the Restrictions within the tomb.

He walked towards that tomb, contemplating whether to open it.

But just then, a long-unheard System prompt suddenly sounded in Lin Xiao's mind.

"Ding! Detecting the current situation the Host is facing, two choices are presented to the Host!"

"Choice One: Open this mysterious tomb and obtain a high-tier Sacred Artifact: stinky fart divine egg x1!"

"Choice Two: Refuse to open this mysterious tomb and obtain a top-tier Divine Beast: Tadu Event Bacteria!"
