218: Enter the main cemetery
To be honest, Ji Mo was a bit surprised to see him; it would be more accurate to say that seeing the Lu family's Third Elder was very strange.
Wasn't it said that Imperial Rank experts couldn't enter the ruins? How did these two get in?
He flew over to the group and said with a smile, "I've made you worry."
Yan Qingcheng was completely oblivious to propriety, hugging Ji Mo directly while tears streamed down her face. Ji Mo didn't know when he had become so close to her, but he didn't feel awkward about it either.
However, he didn't have many feelings for her yet; at best, it was just attraction to her beauty.
Elder Mu also nodded slightly, setting his mind at ease.
"Truly, heroes are born in youth. To have such strength at such a young age really makes us feel ashamed!"
Ice Emperor and Sun Emperor teleported over. These words were spoken by Ice Emperor, and Sun Emperor looked on in agreement.
"Ji Mo, this person before you is a Clone of our Heavenly Punishment Army leader, Lord Ice Emperor," Sun Emperor introduced from the side.
"Hello, Lord Ice Emperor!" Ji Mo greeted, then looked at Sun Emperor, "This should be your true self, right? Wasn't it said that experts at the Emperor Realm couldn't enter this Secret Realm?"
"Actually, I'm also completely confused. After all of you were teleported in, we intended to guard the teleportation point and reap the benefits, but unexpectedly, less than half a day later, the barrier suddenly erupted with a burst of light and teleported all of us here."
Sun Emperor also looked completely bewildered.
"Lad Ji Mo, this place is very wrong. Having walked through so many places, I have already discovered countless Formations, all of which seem like sacrificial Formations. This place is steeped in the scent of a conspiracy."
At this moment, Elder Mu spoke up. With his experience, it was naturally broader than everyone else present.
The group exchanged information with each other, but in the end, they didn't come up with anything useful. Since they couldn't figure it out, they simply stopped thinking about it.
"Forget about whatever conspiracies or tricks there are. We will observe the changes and let things take their course. All fear stems from insufficient firepower; as long as your fists are hard enough, you have nothing to fear."
Ji Mo made the final decision. Why think so much? It only adds to the trouble. If he can't beat them, he'll just call for backup.
Afterward, the group parted ways to collect more resources.
Three days later, this planet had been fully explored, and everyone gathered at a place covered by a Formation.
One could vaguely see a large mausoleum behind the Formation.
The three members of the Lu family also came over. As the saying goes, enemies are especially jealous when they meet. Ji Mo wanted to strike directly and kill them, but just as they were about to clash, an accident occurred.
The Formation suddenly erupted, and a large gate appeared before everyone. Several aged creatures walked out from behind the gate, their entire bodies covered in black robes.
"We are the grave keepers of the Master. Before the Master's mausoleum, violence is forbidden!"
"You have come to seek treasure. If you have any grudges, resolve them yourselves after teleporting away. Do not disturb the heroic soul of the Master here."
"Inside this mausoleum, the Master has placed precious treasures from his lifetime. If you gain the Master's approval, you may inherit the Master's mantle and receive the Legacy of the Master's secret treasures."
"Of course, there are also some less valuable Emperor Weapons. Those who pay respects to the Master may obtain them based on their own Opportunity."
"Now, those with sincere hearts may enter. Others may leave on their own. When the ruins end, you will be teleported away."
"I declare once again: violence is forbidden. Violators will be executed!"
After speaking, the group simultaneously erupted with the Aura of the Imperial Rank Middle Stage, suppressing the entire scene, before turning and walking into the gate.
The people outside looked at each other. Eventually, someone couldn't resist the temptation and walked into the tomb.
Some naturally sensed that something was unusual, but what could they do? They entered the ruins for the Treasure Trove. With the godhead fragment right before their eyes, who could resist?
"Lad Ji Mo, this matter has many oddities. I fear it is not well-intentioned!" Elder Mu transmitted his voice to Ji Mo.
Ji Mo didn't think too much and replied directly, "Elder Mu, regardless of whether there is a conspiracy, your godhead fragment is in there. We cannot just watch as it is taken away by others. We must enter and fight for it. Even if there is a conspiracy, they cannot defeat me."
"Good!" Hearing Ji Mo say this, he felt relieved. Indeed, with such an existence, what else did he have to worry about?
When Ji Mo and his group stepped inside, they saw a vast complex of palaces. The scale was much larger than that of an Emperor.
In front of this palace complex, there was a super-large tombstone with only two words on it: 'An Lan'.
The characters themselves exuded a sharp Sword Qi. Some of the Saint Rank experts with weaker Heart-Nature knelt directly on the ground and bowed their heads.
Even Ji Mo felt a heavy, solemn, and respectful sensation rising in his heart.
"Lad Ji Mo, this is it. My godhead is here. It's getting closer and closer; I can already feel its Aura."
While transmitting his voice to Ji Mo, his voice was choked with emotion.
"Elder Mu, don't rush. The duck in hand won't fly away. Let's first see what these people are up to."
Ji Mo quickly comforted Elder Mu. He still wanted to see what the true purpose of these people was.
At this moment, the little sword within Ji Mo's Sea of Consciousness vibrated, transmitting a desire to eat.
Ji Mo was greatly shocked. This was the first time the little sword had actively transmitted a thought to him. It seemed there was something it needed.
"Don't rush, everything is mine," Ji Mo said silently in his heart.
"Everyone, this is the mausoleum of my Master. His remains are in the core of the tomb. Within this complex of palaces, there are countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, all of which are gifts prepared by my Master for you."
"That godhead fragment is located in the Master's core tomb. At the same time, I will tell you a shocking piece of news: during his lifetime, the Master comprehended a God Rank Cultivation Technique fragment from that godhead fragment. Whoever can obtain that Cultivation Technique and the godhead fragment first will be the successor of my Master!"
"Go! Let the heavens select the one with the great Opportunity for us! Remember, do not use force. First come, first served. Whoever uses force dies!"
The words were full of bewitchment, causing the eyes of these one or two hundred people to turn completely red.
This was normal. A God Rank Cultivation Technique and a godhead fragment—how unattainable these things were. It was just that they couldn't contact the Blood Slaughter Blade Emperor.
Otherwise, the three members of the Lu family—uh, it should be the whole group—would have long since contacted their patriarch and had the patriarch's true self come over to sweep up all the Treasure Trove here.
This planet was entirely covered by runes, like an independent Universe, making it impossible to contact the outside world unless one's power exceeded that of An Lan.
"Third Elder, we must obtain that godhead fragment and the God Rank Cultivation Technique. As long as Father obtains the treasures, he will definitely be able to ascend to the God Realm and allow our entire Lu family to Ascend to a higher-level Plane."
Lu Ming and Lu Hong were full of excitement as they transmitted their voices to the Third Elder.
"Lord Ice Emperor, we must obtain this godhead fragment and God Rank Cultivation Technique. Even if we cannot obtain them, we must not let the Lu family get them. We can form an alliance with Ji Mo. This young man's Heart-Nature and character make him a good ally."
Sun Emperor's eyes were burning with fervor, and his voice was hoarse as he tried his best to control himself.
