As the Universe Turns - Chapter 365
Chapter 365 Tomb of Gods and Demons
Another three days passed. In these three days, apart from traveling, Xiao Chen’s second task was to study the map, and he wouldn’t say anything to Luo Die.
During these past few days, Luo Die had watched him study the map all night, and her impression of him had gradually changed. Originally, she thought that this was a cold, heartless and murderous devil, but now she realized that this person was persistent. She just did not know why he was persistent.
That night, the moonlight dimmed a little. Luo Die walked behind him at some unknown time. After looking for a while, she shook her head and said, “You can’t do this. It’s not arranged like this … OK, let me try.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her suspiciously. Luo Die hurriedly shook her head, “Don’t misunderstand. I won’t take your map. Furthermore … I’m about to cross the ancient plank road. I’m worried that there will be dangers in the future. If you continue like this, you won’t be able to do it. At that time, you will also harm me …”
The further she went, the quieter her voice became, “You rest by the side for a while, and I’ll give it a try.”
“Alright.”
This time, Xiao Chen did not doubt her. He went to the side to meditate cross-legged. Luo Die walked to the position in front of him and carefully looked at each map. No matter how familiar she was with the terrain of the Eastern Continent, she was more than a hundred times more familiar with it than Xiao Chen.
Just like that, Xiao Chen rested for a night at dawn. The bloodline in his eyes had gradually disappeared. Seeing that she was still fiddling with the map, he asked, “How is it?”
“You … you’re awake?”
Seeing that he was awake, Luo Die’s face suddenly became somewhat excited, “Come over and take a look!”
Xiao Chen immediately stood up and walked over. He saw that the map had been pieced together quite a bit. It was clearly more correct than before. There were already four ancient kingdoms of the Heaven Realm on it.
The four ancient kingdoms were the Golden Crow kingdom in the east, the Cold Heaven kingdom in the west, the Zhu Que kingdom in the south and the Black Tortoise kingdom in the north.
However, the scale of the four ancient kingdoms on the map had clearly been enlarged, while the map of other places was somewhat blurry and disordered. It was obvious that the entire map had not yet been properly pieced together.
“How do you know how to arrange things like this?”
Xiao Chen looked at Luo Die, but his face did not seem to be as excited as hers. Luo Die could not help but retreat when she saw him looking at her coldly like this. “You … What do you mean?”
“You’re not from the Life and Death Alliance, much less from the Earth-level Cultivation Domain … right?”
“You …”
Luo Die suddenly froze. At this moment, she was stared at by those two sharp gazes of his. She seemed to be suffocating. She frowned and said, “What’s wrong with you? I spent an entire night helping you piece together the map. It’s good now. Forget it if you don’t thank me. Instead, you suspect me …”
“Sorry.”
Xiao Chen glanced at her and didn’t ask any more questions. He looked at the map again. After looking for a while, he discovered that there was a spot on the map that had all turned black. Its shape was also very irregular, and it looked extremely strange. He asked, “What’s going on here?”
“Here …”
Luo Die hesitated for a moment, then walked forward to look at the ink mark on the map and said, “This is Tomb of Gods and Demons …”
“Tomb of Gods and Demons?”
“Yes.”
Luo Die nodded. He slowly said, “Legend has it that in ancient times, The mortal world was in dire straits. It had once been reduced to the Fiendgod Battlefield. At that time, the heavens and the earth were in turmoil. Many ancient gods and fiendgods fought endlessly here until the heavens and the earth collapsed. In the end, those ancient gods and fiendgods had died here. It was unknown how many years had passed, but the Fiendgod aura in this place had yet to dissipate. So this place was called ‘Tomb of Gods and Demons’
When she said this, she raised her head, as if she had thought of something, and a trace of shock appeared on her face. “You … you’re not planning to go to Tomb of Gods and Demons, are you?”
Seeing her nervous appearance, Xiao Chen became interested in Tomb of Gods and Demons. “Continue, how about Tomb of Gods and Demons?” He asked.
Luo Die calmed down. He looked at the map again and slowly said, “No one knows how big Tomb of Gods and Demons is. Nobody knows what it is. All they know is that the devil aura inside is pervasive. The outside is also enveloped by a layer of devil aura. Once you enter, you will never be able to leave.”
At this point, He paused for a while before continuing, “Ordinary people, even experts as powerful as Profound realm experts, do not dare to enter Tomb of Gods and Demons. Those who enter Tomb of Gods and Demons are usually desperate desperates pursued by the four kingdoms or Immortal Alliance. Once they enter, they will never be able to leave. As for who was originally in Tomb of Gods and Demons, I don’t know …”
After hearing what she said, Xiao Chen gradually fell into deep thought. He didn’t expect that there was actually such a mysterious place in the Eastern Cultivation World …
Seeing that he was silent, Luo Die whispered, “Then … you’re not planning to go to Tomb of Gods and Demons, are you?”
Xiao Chen shook his head. The only place he wanted to find as soon as possible was the legendary Yang Valley. It had been almost a year since he left the Immortal Origin Five Regions, but he hadn’t even found the shadow of the Fusang Divine Tree.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to Luo Die, Tomb of Gods and Demons heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Then … where exactly are you going?”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. At this moment, he felt a little distracted. It had been almost a year, and he didn’t know how Wei Yang was now. If he needed ten to a hundred years to find the location of Yang Valley, so what if he brought Fusang Flower back? At that time, Wei Yang wouldn’t be able to wake up again …
“Yang Valley, help me find the location of Yang Valley.”
“Yang Valley?”
When Luo Die heard this, she couldn’t help but be stunned. Wasn’t this the legendary place? The place he was going to was actually a legendary place. He simply couldn’t believe it.
“Alright … I’ll give it a try.”
She still nodded and immediately began to piece together the map. As she muttered to herself, “Yang Valley is below Qiongsang Mountain, so we must find the location of Qiongsang Mountain first …”
Xiao Chen watched carefully from the side. After about two hours, it was already dawn outside. Luo Die suddenly picked up a map and said excitedly, “I found it! This is it! The painting on it must be the Mountain of Poverty Mulberry!”
Even she did not expect that the map of the Life and Death Alliance would actually hide so many places. Perhaps even if she went to the Heaven Realm to find a map, there might not be a place like Mount Qiongsang on it, right? Let alone Yang Valley.
Xiao Chen looked at the map in her hand. At this moment, his expression became exceptionally solemn. “Are you sure it’s here? Then where should this map be pieced together?”
“Wait … let me see.”
Luo Die held the map in her hand and carefully searched. At this moment, a strange aura suddenly penetrated through the cave. Xiao Chen’s expression immediately froze, “Who is it?”
Before he could finish speaking, three strands of powerful sword Qi suddenly slashed towards him from the outside. In an instant, the entire cave was filled with sand and rocks. Xiao Chen instantly stood up and formed a True Essence Barrier to block the three strands of sword Qi. However, the gale inside the cave blew away the map that covered the ground.
Luo Die was shocked. She flicked her sleeve and hurriedly put away the map. She looked outside and asked, “Who is outside?”
“I don’t know. Put away the map and go out to take a look.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he circulated his True Essence and struck out with the roar of a withered wood dragon. Obviously, the people outside the cave did not expect such a terrifying palm force to suddenly come out of the cave. There were a few people who did not have time to dodge it and directly turned into a bloody mist under the palm force.
