Chapter 1479: Chapter 1479: The Substitute of Li for the Decayed Peach Chapter 1479: Chapter 1479: The Substitute of Li for the Decayed Peach Just like that, Huang Xiaolong stood before the graveyard of the gods, a tense standoff unfolding.

On the mountainside, within those caves, high-level gods meditated in a motionless state akin to mountains, but one could feel an indescribable divine pressure bursting forth from within their bodies.

Once they noticed and opened their eyes, for Huang Xiaolong, it would be catastrophic.

And the Ancestor Dragons were also circling. These dragons, all as mounts, also possessed the battle strength of 5th or 6th level gods, not to be underestimated.

“Huu~~ Huu~~” Huang Xiaolong exerted all his effort to stabilize his mind.

He had no other choice; it was an instinctual physiological response.

Had it been any other cosmic being here, they would’ve already crumbled.

Even covered in Invisibility Talismans, they would have fallen apart!

It took over an hour before Huang Xiaolong finally steadied himself, and then he began to step toward the mountain gate.

Walking on foot.

He dared not fly nor leap forward.

He didn’t even dare to quicken his walking pace.

He walked slowly.

A short distance seemed to stretch out far and wide.

The further he walked, the nearer he got to those gods, the greater the pressure.

Every step was toilsome, as if each day were a year.

Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to step through the mountain gate!

“Hmm?” A meditating god suddenly seemed to sense something and opened his eyes!

A soul-capturing divine light immediately surged out, sweeping across like something tangible!

Huang Xiaolong jumped with fright, hurriedly held his breath, silently recited calming spells in his mouth, and swiftly applied several more Invisibility Talismans to himself.

“What happened?” A few nearby gods immediately inquired.

The god who had opened his eyes and was scrutinizing the area relaxed his furrowed brows a bit and smiled, “Nothing much, just now I felt as though some creature was moving under my eyelids, but~~ it must have been a misperception.”

“Ha ha ha ha~~”

Several gods burst into laughter.

“Impossible, who would dare to infiltrate the graveyard of the gods?”

“You’re too idle, too bored, that you’ve started to hallucinate. Brother, relax a bit.”

“I just swept the area with my divine sense, and there’s nothing amiss. You’re worrying too much.”

…

“Alright, I’m just bored out of my mind,” the god said with self-mocking laughter, and then closed his eyes again, retracting his divine sense.

Close call!

Huang Xiaolong was almost discovered!

But luckily, he managed to get by unnoticed!

He let out a sigh of relief, but cold sweat drenched Huang Xiaolong’s head, face, and entire body.

Alright, no matter what, keep moving forward!

Finally!

Huang Xiaolong entered the mountain gate!

Once inside the mountain gate, the pressure suddenly lessened a lot.

Looking up, inside the mountain gate were platforms of varying heights.

On each platform lay a crystal coffin.

And there were tombstones.

Okay, this was the burial site for the gods.

Within each crystal coffin lay a god!

The strongest outside guarding were only 9th level gods, whereas those lying in this graveyard of gods were all gods with divine sparks!

Having a divine spark was completely different from not having one.

As the Ancestor Dragon had said, gods with divine sparks–lower gods, middle gods, upper gods.

Among them, even the weakest lower god, with a mere gesture of their hand, could annihilate a large group of 9th level gods.

Huang Xiaolong silently counted, there seemed to be around a hundred crystal coffins here.

Though these gods were dead, their corpses still emitted a terrifying and suffocating pressure.

Fortunately, within this graveyard, there were no longer any high-level gods guarding.

Huang Xiaolong, now invisible, could wander freely in this area.

He casually walked up to a platform.

Inside the crystal coffin lay an icy-cold yet beautiful and noble woman.

She lay serenely with her eyes closed, hands draped at her feet.

There was no sign of life, yet the face appeared so lifelike, as if merely in a deep slumber.

The tombstone bore inscriptions written in divine script —

Mid-Rank God: Zhen

‘Mid-Rank God, hehehe, just as formidable as that extremist faction’s Yue~~impressive indeed~~~’

Huang Xiaolong also felt excited; lying here were the powerhouses of the divine realm!

Huang Xiaolong tried scanning the interior of this “Zhen’s” Divine Body with his divine sense.

Hmm, very quiet, utterly silent.

Indeed, there was a hundred percent certainty of death.

However, within the head, precisely where the soul resided, memories and emotions were sealed — that is — the soul!

The soul was temporarily sealed to prevent it from leaving the Divine Body!

Yes, separation of the soul from the body means true death. Absolute death.

Moreover, there was an object akin to a gemstone, a terrifying energy source, within the heart area!

Perhaps, that was the godly spark!

‘These Divine Race beings with godly sparks are truly fearsome. The energy contained within their godly sparks is simply — boundless! Infinite! So overbearing!’ Huang Xiaolong marveled.

However, within the godly spark were imprints aligned with its corresponding soul, unique as if tailor-made.

Divine Race individuals who possessed a godly spark had perfect control over it within their bodies; it was a part of them, of their very lives. It was virtually impossible for other beings or even other Divine Race members to steal it. Even if it were stolen, it would be almost useless. After all, it was exclusive. One godly spark corresponded to one great God.

As for the sealed souls — well, preventing dissolution of the soul meant that these Divine Race individuals, although dead, couldn’t be said to be thoroughly dead in the strictest sense.

Because the God could resurrect them.

Thus, sealing the soul in preparation for later resurrection was akin to taking a long nap.

Of course, if the soul were extinguished, resurrection was impossible.

Furthermore, once the soul left the Divine Body, it would naturally weaken, and even if it could later return to its body and be resurrected, it would be profoundly weak for an extended period. Therefore, the soul must be sealed inside to be preserved intact.

Huang Xiaolong observed, for instance, Zhen’s soul was currently in a sealed, deeply dormant state.

‘These fools, just lying here, waiting for the God’s awakening~~ Hahaha~ I’m going to steal you all!’

Huang Xiaolong was wildly excited in his heart.

He then strolled around casually.

In the graveyard, the remains of the great Gods were mostly Lower-Rank Gods, the rest Mid-Rank Gods, but there were no Upper-Rank Gods.

An Upper-Rank God, the strongest existence next to the God, didn’t need to cross any divine calamities because crossing them wouldn’t turn them into the God. There is only one God, unique and unparalleled.

“The bodies have been found; indeed, each one is a treasure trove. The value of each great God’s remains is higher than that of a massive universe,” Huang Xiaolong contemplated. “The current problem is how to take these bodies away.”

Indeed, taking away all the corpses from the gods’ graveyard was not as simple as just talking about it.

It wasn’t as straightforward as tossing the bodies into the netherworld and then making a run for it.

Once these bodies were moved, it was likely that the guards outside would be alerted.

“The bodies, I will take them away, but how to do it safely, covertly, without anyone, god or spirit, being the wiser~~~” Huang Xiaolong racked his brains.

This plan was already halfway to success.

Huang Xiaolong had bluffed his way through, entered the graveyard under tight defenses, and had seen the carcasses.

Now was the time to take these remains away.

Direct theft was not an option.

Huang Xiaolong sat down.

Concentrated.

Thought.

A full three hours passed.

Countless ideas had spun through Huang Xiaolong’s mind.

Suddenly! A flash of inspiration struck!

“Invisibility Talisman!”

“That’s it! I’ll imitate these corpses’ aura, the aura of death, with an Invisibility Talisman~~ Then, I’ll replace their bodies with the Invisibility Talisman! Exactly! That’s the way to do it!”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone brightly!

Steal the bodies!

Replace them with an Invisibility Talisman!

A classic case of ‘placing the plum’s shadow in place of the peach’s soul’!

Of course, this method was not a long-term solution and would quickly be discovered.

But what of it?

By the time they discovered it, Huang Xiaolong would have already taken the bodies and returned home!
