340: Frightened Cao Fenjin
Finally, two more days passed.
Su Can's steps halted.
He stopped at a scenic spot, enveloped in an incredibly dense and heavy aura.
If Cao Fenjin could meet his gaze, he would notice.
His eyes had no focus whatsoever!
In Su Can's eyes was a clear Blue Sky, and beneath the Blue Sky, was the wondrous sight of the Sun and Moon shining together.
Blue Sky, Sun, and Moon Clarity!
This was a pupil Divine Power he had comprehended after realizing the Great Sun Divine Power and Great Moon Divine Power on the Star Road.
At this moment, he stopped, communicating with the earth while casting Blue Sky, Sun, and Moon Clarity, observing this scenic area.
More precisely, he was observing a mountain.
This mountain, shaped like a giant turtle, lay prostrate at the confluence of the Huai River's exit into the lake, serving as a natural fish mouth for the Huaiyun River's diversion, approximately eighty li southwest of Hongze County.
If a local were present, they would surely know this place was Huaiyin Guishan!
Su Can connected with the earth; no one knew what he had experienced or learned during his journey.
Only Cao Fenjin clearly witnessed Su Can's transformation.
Compared to Su Can on the Star Road, the current him was no longer sharp-edged, no longer arrogant, no longer impetuous, no longer conceited or proud!
The current Su Can.
Had gained a sense of composure!
Had gained a sense of gravitas!
And even more, a sense of responsibility, as if bearing a certain mission!
Over these past few days, Cao Fenjin had personally witnessed Su Can's step-by-step transformation.
And now, Su Can, who had walked for days without a moment's rest, suddenly stopped to gaze at a particular spot, which surprised Cao Fenjin.
He came to Su Can's side and looked in the direction of Su Can's gaze.
A large mountain, shaped like Guishan, lay prostrate at the confluence of the rivers.
"Strange, there's nothing special here, is there? What is Su Dage looking at?"
Cao Fenjin glanced, finding that this mountain, apart from resembling a giant turtle, had no extraordinary features.
As for scenery, any mountain in the Wuji World would be ten or even a hundred times more impressive than this Guishan, right?
But Su Can was different.
He had traveled this path, connecting with the earth, traversing the north and south of the great rivers, and had obtained many unknown secrets from the profound history.
Moreover, in some key locations, he had gained many historical remnants.
Because some things, even the power of time, cannot easily erase their traces.
It was these things that fundamentally changed Su Can; no, it should be said, transformed him.
At this moment, standing here, what he focused on was precisely Huaiyin Guishan.
According to the guidance and communication from the earth, the Guishan before him was not merely a scenic mountain in the eyes of the world.
Buzz!!
It was clearly evening.
Suddenly, a Blue Sky appeared.
Just like the aurora borealis, the entire Hongze County saw it.
Immediately after, a Sun and Moon appeared, illuminating the world brightly.
Such a miraculous celestial phenomenon made countless people drop their jaws, pulling out their phones to photograph and record it, posting it online.
But these were no longer his concern.
At this moment, in his eyes, the Sun and Moon shone together, reflected by the Blue Sky.
Guishan, in his eyes, was no longer Guishan, but a mountain constructed from countless dense divine patterns and symbols, bit by bit.
Moreover, these symbols subtly resonated with the stars of the Zhou Tian, with streams of mysterious power injecting into them.
Normally, let alone a cultivation at Su Can's level, even a Star River Immortal would find it difficult to perceive.
But with the help of the earth's communication and perception, Su Can clearly felt that this place was extremely ominous!
"Su Dage, this place, illuminated by a Divine Power, seems... different now!"
Under the reflection of Su Can's Divine Power, when Cao Fenjin looked at Guishan again, he vaguely discerned something.
He quickly matched it with the surrounding terrain, then looked up at the stars, and finally took out a strange compass, adjusting it towards Guishan.
Suddenly, his face drastically changed, and he gasped, saying, "Su Dage! This, this seems to be a grand tomb...!"
"And according to my Cao family's secret method, this grand tomb is unimaginably ancient, and my Eight Gates Compass warns me it's extremely ominous!"
"No, no, not extremely ominous, but a death trap! Anyone who attempts to enter here or open this grand tomb will surely die!"
Cao Fenjin was horrified; in this desolate and harsh land, such a terrifying grand tomb was hidden.
Even the grand tomb of the Star River Immortal was not as malevolent as this tomb!
And this was just the tip of the iceberg he saw with the help of Su Can's Divine Power!
"This is not a grand tomb! And don't even think about prying into this place, otherwise it will be a terrifying disaster!"
Su Can shook his head with a solemn expression.
A moment later, the Sun and Moon vanished, and the Blue Sky disappeared!
Night once again covered the world.
A faint voice echoed in his ear: "Alright, let's go."
With that, Su Can took a step, shrinking the ground into inches, and vanished hundreds of zhang away in the blink of an eye.
Cao Fenjin immediately cried out, "Dage, wait for me, sigh~"
As he spoke, Su Can was already out of sight. He quickly, with great heartache, took out a Starry Sky Great Medicine from his spatial storage and put it into his mouth.
Boom!
He glowed all over, powerful and surging medicinal energy circulating throughout his body. After a slight refinement, his true essence and magical power recovered to their peak state.
However, the medicinal power of one Starry Sky Great Medicine was truly too immense.
He could only operate his Divine Power to chase Su Can while using a secret method to store the excess medicinal power in his body.
Visibly, his entire body had fattened up by a large circle, turning him into a complete little fatty.
With ample true essence and magical power, he boldly chased after Su Can.
Soon, he saw Su Can's back.
There was no other way; on this spirit-depleted Earth, Su Can was as conspicuous as a magnificent Great Sun.
It was impossible to ignore his presence.
However, what the two did not know was that after they left Huaiyin Guishan.
Several figures also arrived at the location. They looked at each other, and all saw expressions of shock and awe in each other's eyes.
"This aura... I'm afraid things are not going to be peaceful..."
The figures, with wary expressions, soon disappeared again.
"Strange, Su Dage has been traveling non-stop, yet he doesn't take any pills, nor does he cultivate. How does he still have true essence and magical power within him?"
As Cao Fenjin followed Su Can, the shock and confusion in his heart grew.
Shaking his head, he ultimately chose not to ask.
Who knows how much time had passed.
And who knows how much distance they had covered.
Su Can stopped again.
Cao Fenjin surveyed the surroundings and found that this was another scenic spot.
Then the Blue Sky, Sun, and Moon hung in the sky.
The world was re-illuminated.
Su Can's aura was heavy, and he looked at the place with a deep frown, his heart pounding like a drum. He felt a faint calling from his bloodline here.
But Cao Fenjin, behind him, suddenly saw the full view of the place and was so frightened that he retreated dozens of zhang, his face pale, with large beads of sweat constantly dripping.
It seemed that this place was even more dangerous than the grand tomb from before.
"Death qi!!"
"Su Dage, the underground here is filled with terrifying and boundless death and malevolent qi; it's too terrifying. This place is ten, even a hundred times more terrifying than an Immortal's tomb!"
"Dage, what exactly is this place? Whose burial ground is it?"
Cao Fenjin clutched his heart, asking with extreme fear.
"Here?"
Su Can took a deep breath, withdrew his pupil technique, and said faintly: "This is the ancient Changping, the burial ground of 400,000 soldiers!"
"Impossible, ordinary soldiers, let alone 400,000, even if it were 4 million, could not generate such terrifying death and malevolent qi!"
Cao Fenjin shook his head, his face pale, saying: "The death qi and malevolent qi suppressed here, even if an entire Celestial Dynasty were to fall, would not reach such a terrifying degree!"
"And a Celestial Dynasty, in our Wuji World, has at least tens of millions of standing soldiers, and a population of billions!"
"This is definitely not the burial ground of ordinary people!"
