89: It turned out to be a cemetery
Having obtained such an Opportunity.
At this moment, Yu Xiu still seemed unfazed, instead, he was scrutinizing Old Master Deng.
He seemed worried that Old Master Deng had been injured by the seven-colored ripple just now.
"Yu Xiu, thankfully you were here today, otherwise, I would have lost my old life."
Thinking of the terrifying seven-colored ripple from before, Old Master Deng also felt a wave of lingering fear.
Even with his vast experience, he had never encountered such a mysterious and terrifying thing that could annihilate a person in the blink of an eye; it was truly dreadful.
"The cause of this incident was me, so saving you is only right. Besides, we are family, there's no need to be so formal."
Hearing this, Old Master Deng smiled and said, "Yu Xiu, quickly enter the quest stele. We will guard this place for you."
As his voice fell, Old Master Deng shouted to the surroundings, "If anyone harbors ill intentions later, don't blame this old man for going on a killing spree."
On this side, Yu Xiu also ordered, "From now on, you will take Old Deng as your leader. Anyone who acts with ill intent will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!"
Two hundred Nine-Star Grandmaster death warriors and five Martial Venerable death warriors immediately responded.
At this moment.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their bodies exuded a bloodthirsty aura.
The surrounding people couldn't help but feel their hearts pound at this sight.
Especially those from the Capital.
They couldn't help but curse inwardly: Where did this bastard Yu Xiu get so many Grandmaster death warriors?
The name of a death warrior.
No one present was unaware of it.
These were a group of battle maniacs, individuals who fought with their lives on the line.
Moreover, they were all Grandmaster level, so ordinary people truly didn't dare to provoke them.
Swish!
Yu Xiu's figure unfolded, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before the seven-colored Void Realm portal.
He stepped in, and the seven-colored Void Realm portal showed no unusual signs.
As his body disappeared inside, the seven-colored Void Realm portal also vanished, as if it had never been there.
"Is this the Qiusuo Realm?"
Yu Xiu looked at the scene before him, his expression turning strange.
According to his understanding of the Qiusuo Realm, it didn't seem to be like this at all.
Before him was a door.
At a glance, it looked more like a slightly larger farmhouse courtyard, merely giving off an ancient aura.
"Saint's Tomb?"
Above the large door hung a dilapidated plaque with three large characters written on it.
Yu Xiu walked through the door with a puzzled expression.
In the small courtyard, directly facing the main door, was a three-story pavilion.
To the left was also a pavilion, but it only had two stories, and the plaque read "Scripture Pavilion."
Especially when he saw the couplet on the door, Yu Xiu's breathing instantly became somewhat erratic.
"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao."
"The name that can be named is not the eternal name."
Yu Xiu exclaimed in shock, "Isn't this the Dao De Jing from Earth! How did it appear here?"
At this moment, Yu Xiu felt an urge to go inside and see what was going on.
Logically speaking, this was another world; it was impossible for scriptures from Earth to appear here!
Yet, it was undeniably present before his eyes.
Eerie! Strange! Mysterious!
This was Yu Xiu's first impression of this small courtyard.
Immediately after.
He withdrew his gaze and looked to the right.
To the right was a tiled house, and the plaque read "Qi Pavilion."
Standing in place, he pondered for a moment.
Yu Xiu ultimately decided to enter the three-story pavilion directly opposite.
Because the pavilion looked like a residence, perhaps there were records about this place inside.
Having made up his mind.
Yu Xiu no longer hesitated and directly stepped into the three-story pavilion.
The first-floor hall of the pavilion was furnished with tables and chairs, clearly a reception area.
However, apart from the tables and chairs, there was nothing else, it was very empty.
Only on the wall directly opposite the main door was a painting. The painting was very strange, depicting many oddly shaped small figures battling a tall giant.
Regarding this.
Yu Xiu didn't think much of it, only considering it a special hobby of the pavilion's owner.
Then he followed the stairs up to the second floor.
It was still empty.
He ascended to the third floor again.
After looking around, he finally found an ancient book on a tea table.
The book's cover had no text, and it seemed to have been bound with silk threads by hand.
Out of curiosity.
Yu Xiu picked up the book and began to read it.
The script was actually Small Seal Script.
Yu Xiu's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Although he couldn't read all of it, he could generally understand its meaning.
This seemed to be a diary.
It recorded personal feelings and repeatedly mentioned drifting to this place.
He then continued to examine it.
Ultimately, he discovered that the so-called Qiusuo Realm seemed to be just a cemetery.
It should be said that it was a cemetery that had drifted here from an unknown place.
Now Yu Xiu finally understood why everyone's assessment was different and why the scenes of the Qiusuo Realm they entered were different.
Because the places they entered were the tombs of different individuals.
The different assessments were due to the quest stele providing different tomb assessments based on different situations.
According to the diary, there were 999 tombs in this cemetery.
Currently, there were eighty-one names on the quest stele, which meant that eighty-one tombs had already been entered.
In other words, there were still 918 tombs that had not been opened.
And the place he had arrived at now was the residence of the tomb keeper of this cemetery.
But what was the deal with the Small Seal Script in the diary, and what was the deal with the Dao De Jing?
Did the tomb keeper really drift here from Earth?
Many questions arose in Yu Xiu's mind.
After much thought.
He only felt his thoughts becoming more chaotic.
"Isn't this a Martial Dao world! How can it be so absurd?"
"How can there be that Xuanhuan stuff?"
"Shattering the Void Realm and drifting here?"
Yu Xiu stood in place, stunned for a long time, then walked downstairs, deep in thought.
He looked left and right.
Ultimately, he decided to go to the Scripture Pavilion first.
Creak!
Yu Xiu pushed open the door of the Scripture Pavilion.
There was no dust covering the floor as he had imagined, nor the musty smell of a long-unoccupied place.
Instead, there was a scent of sandalwood.
"Qi Induction Technique?"
"Fist, Sword, Palm..."
The first floor had many bookshelves, and each bookshelf had introductions written in Small Seal Script.
The bookshelves labeled with Fist, Sword, Palm, and the like, Yu Xiu guessed, might contain Martial Skills.
What puzzled him the most was the Qi Induction Technique.
"Could it be cultivation and Qi Refining?"
Yu Xiu thought for a moment, then walked to the bookshelf. The entire large bookshelf only held three ancient books.
He casually opened one to examine it.
Upon seeing it.
His expression immediately turned strange.
The so-called Qi Induction Technique seemed not to be the Qi Refining of cultivators, but rather a method of mobilizing Qi and blood.
The explanation here was to use the Qi Induction Technique to mobilize Qi and blood to unleash Martial Skills.
Upon closer thought.
The Martial Skills in the outside world didn't seem to mention anything about mobilizing Qi and blood.
They merely relied on the body's strength and power to execute Martial Skills.
The so-called Martial Skill Realm Ranks were merely about the proficiency of Martial Skill Moves and the degree of synergy between Martial Skill Moves and the body.
Comparing the two.
They seemed worlds apart.
The combat power that could be unleashed by mobilizing Qi and blood was clearly much stronger than simply relying on physical strength and proficiency.
At this moment!
Yu Xiu thought of a saying.
Having a mountain of gold in hand yet being unaware of it.
People in the outside world seemed to only simply improve and develop their bodies when increasing Qi and blood, without any purer application of Qi and blood at all.
