Chapter 168: Chapter 169: The Key (4th Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

The tomb of the Emperor of Fertility.

Chu Fengmian suddenly realized why the Fengrao Stele underwent changes after he entered.

Indeed, aside from the Emperor of Fertility himself, the Fengrao Stele should not undergo any changes. Clearly, the stele must have sensed something to be awakened and to guide Chu Fengmian to that place.

The numerous miracles within this Holy Land could only have been created by the founder of the Martial Victory States, the Emperor of Fertility.

"The tomb of the Emperor of Fertility has long been the subject of rumors, hasn’t it? Decades ago, someone discovered it, but it never caused a stir."

Han Yueli spoke up.

The rumor wasn’t considered a secret; all the disciples from the four major sects who were to enter the Holy Land were aware of it.

Decades ago, a tomb was discovered which was later identified as the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility.

The Emperor of Fertility was the founding father of the Martial Victory States. Legend had it that the Emperor of Fertility intimidated countless powerful nations at the time, acquiring the territory to establish the Martial Victory States.

The wealth he amassed was absolutely astronomical, so his tomb was rumored to contain a treasure trove equivalent to the national treasury of an entire country.

However, the tomb was inscribed with countless prohibitions, utterly impenetrable. Thus, even though everyone knew that the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility contained vast wealth, it was in sight but out of reach.

This piece of information was almost forgotten, so how could it possibly stir up excitement now?

"Han elder only knows half the story."

Mo Changhen replied respectfully to Han Yueli.

He was well aware of Han Yueli’s status, which was much higher than the others. He could interact freely with Chu Feng, but it was different in front of Han Yueli.

"It is said that the key to open the tomb has appeared, thus the tomb is undergoing various changes and is about to be opened. The core disciples from the Wu Sheng Academy and the four major sects have already teamed up to start looking for the entrance," hurriedly Mo Changhen explained.

"The key? Could it be the Fengrao Stele?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly said.

If any recent revelations regarding the Emperor of Fertility were to be discussed, it would have to be the Fengrao Stele that Chu Fengmian held.

"Indeed, it is said that the debut of the Fengrao Stele has caused various changes in the tomb," upon hearing Chu Fengmian suddenly speak, Mo Changhen looked at him with some surprise, uncertain where Chu Fengmian had gotten this information from.

"So it is true."

Though Chu Fengmian’s face remained expressionless on hearing the news, waves were already rising in his heart.

Chu Fengmian had just guessed that the changes in the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility were very likely related to the Fengrao Stele.

After all, the Fengrao Stele was a Spiritual Artifact personally crafted by the Emperor of Fertility. If there was a key, it had to be the Fengrao Stele without a doubt.

"However, although the news of the appearance of the Fengrao Stele has spread, no one yet knows who actually possesses the Stele. Everyone is speculating that the Stele must have been brought into this Holy Land, which is why such changes are occurring," Mo Changhen continued.

"All of this should just be speculation, right? The news of the appearance of the Fengrao Stele must have been intentionally released by someone, otherwise, it wouldn’t be unknown who has obtained the Fengrao Stele," Han Yueli said.

"Such ethereal rumors shouldn’t be taken seriously. You should quietly cultivate and improve your strength. That is the correct path. These kinds of fortuitous encounters should not be taken to heart."

"Yes, we are going to return to the outskirts of the Holy Land to continue our cultivation and training," Mo Changhen said.

Although he had felt a bit of interest initially, after encountering Yan Xuan, he understood.

Without strength, all discussions are meaningless; one must first improve their own strength.

"Good."

Chu Fengmian nodded, acknowledging that such a strife was indeed not suitable to get involved in.

A thought crossed his mind, and four Jade Talismans condensed from the palm of Chu Fengmian’s hand, each one carrying a trace of the aura of ancient battle dragons.

"These are Jade Talismans refined by Chu, imbued with the full force of Chu’s strike. Should you encounter danger, they will erupt with power and can offer you assistance once."

As Chu Fengmian spoke, he tossed them out, and the four Jade Talismans merged into the bodies of Mo Changhen and his companions.

Now, Chu Fengmian had given them the Qi Ye Spirit Grass and these four Jade Talismans as compensation.

A single one of these Jade Talismans was enough to protect them from harm under the power of Wind Realm Martial Artists, certainly of much greater value than a Qi Ye Spirit Grass.

"Many thanks, Brother Chu."

"Many thanks, Big Brother Chu."

The four of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

They had just witnessed the strength displayed by Chu Fengmian, and they knew that these Jade Talismans would be crucial to their survival.

At the very least, outside the periphery of the Holy Land, there would now be no one capable of killing them.

"Alright, we should also be leaving."

Chu Fengmian looked over at Han Yueli and nodded.

Two streaks of light shot towards the depths of the Holy Land.

"Big Brother Chu’s strength is no longer something we can catch up to. We thought we could rely on the Imperial Phoenix Grass to catch up, but now, it seems we were too naive," Hao Lan said with admiration as he watched Chu Fengmian.

"One day, I will catch up to Big Brother Chu’s pace."

"Hao Lan, don’t be so naive. With Big Brother Chu’s talent now, the only person who could be his rival is the Crown Prince," Yue Zhanqing said with a laugh from beside him.

"Let’s hurry and leave. If we encounter another Yan Xuan, we might not have anyone to save us this time."

"Right."

The four figures then headed in the opposite direction, towards the periphery of the Holy Land.

Not long after their departure, a crimson figure had arrived at the place where Yan Xuan had perished.

"What a waste, that Yan Xuan actually died."

The crimson figure frowned as he surveyed the surroundings.

Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, a mirror appeared in front of him.

The mirror replayed the scenes from moments before.

It showed the images of Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli pursuing and then slaying Yan Xuan.

"The Red Flame Sword!"

His gaze fixated tightly on the Red Flame Sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand.

"The Red Flame Sword has appeared again, and it’s been brought into the Holy Land."

"If I could get my hands on the Red Flame Sword, then in this struggle for the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb, I would have a place among them, even surpassing some."

The crimson figure murmured to himself.

"Let’s calculate where that youngster is."

He waved his hand again, and another mirror appeared, but this time, the image that materialized was that of a dragon shadow.

This dragon shadow let out a fierce roar, and instantly, the mirror shattered completely.
