Chapter 972: Chapter 989: Departure [2nd Update]
It’s known that at that time, even the Old War God was not a match for Huangfu Zhan. Using the Spirit Talisman, Huangfu Zhan defeated the Old War God, but Ye Feng killed Huangfu Zhan with just a single sword strike.
The group became familiar with each other, aside from Liu Mu, the other five were the commanders of the Western Border, Beijiang Battlefield, East Border, Central Combat Zone, and finally the strongest adjutant beside the Old War God, Liu Heavenly King.
The group moved towards the direction of the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, with Ye Feng feeling very eager inside.
In fact, Ye Feng was not interested in the Xuanyuan Sword at all. Although Ye Feng knew that the Xuanyuan Sword must be very powerful and of high grade, Ye Feng was confident that no matter how high the grade of the Xuanyuan Sword was, it could never exceed the Heaven Slaying God Sword.
No matter how powerful the Xuanyuan Sword was, it could not be more powerful than the Heaven Slaying God Sword.
What Ye Feng was truly interested in were the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, including various miraculous Spiritual Pills.
Now was the time for Ye Feng to prepare for the breakthrough to the Divine Realm. Ye Feng needed a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and at this time, Ye Feng had only accumulated twenty-five percent of his power, so Ye Feng was very eager to enter the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb this time, hoping to obtain enough Spiritual Pills and then directly elevate his cultivation to the Divine Realm.
If he stepped into the Divine Realm again, Ye Feng had a feeling he could gain a lot of advantages.
Ye Feng was sure he could unlock the second layer of the Execution God Ring. In the first layer, there was the existence of the Heaven Slaying God Sword, and Ye Feng was very curious about what kind of good things existed in the second layer of the Execution God Ring.
In the Dragon Country, in a certain mountain range of the Central Plains, a helicopter flew over. The people on this helicopter were Ye Feng and his group. The Old War God said: "This is the place!"
After that, Ye Feng looked down at the mountain range below from the helicopter. The mountains stretched on endlessly. Although they were not as grand and magnificent as the mountains in the Southern Border, they looked like an unparalleled divine sword lying quietly on the ground. The Old War God said: "We are almost there!"
Everyone was full of anticipation. Soon enough, the helicopter found a place to land.
Ye Feng and the others got off the helicopter one by one, then everyone curiously looked at the Old War God and asked: "Old War God, where is the entrance to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb?"
The Old War God smiled slightly: "This is where Zhanlu will guide us."
Then, the Old War God took out Zhanlu, and at that moment, everyone clearly saw the light on Zhanlu. The light was much stronger than usual.
At this time, the Old War God took a few steps towards the south, and the light on Zhanlu visibly weakened a little.
When the Old War God took a few steps towards the north, the light became more intense again.
Everyone was amazed. The Old War God smiled and said: "The closer we get to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, the stronger the light will become. We just need to follow the guidance of Zhanlu or Chi Xiao."
Hearing the Old War God’s words, everyone nodded in realization. Then under Zhanlu’s guidance, they quickly moved. In Ye Feng’s group of eight people, the weakest were Legendary Great Perfection powerhouses, their footwork not something ordinary people could imagine; in less than an hour, Ye Feng and his group had already walked more than fifty kilometers of mountain paths.
Finally, they arrived at the summit of an unknown peak, and the Old War God stopped walking.
At this time, Zhanlu emitted an extremely dazzling light, as if it had reached its limit, and could not be more blinding. The Old War God smiled slightly and said: "It should be here..."
Everyone looked around doubtfully, unable to see where the entrance to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb was.
At this time, Liu Mu curiously asked: "Old War God, there is no sight of the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb here?"
The other commanders also looked puzzled, nodding in agreement as they looked at the Old War God.
The Old War God was also somewhat perplexed: "According to Zhanlu’s guidance, it should be here, it can’t be wrong. We should keep searching thoroughly."
But at this time, Ye Feng spoke up: "No need to search, it shouldn’t be wrong..."
"Oh?" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Ye Feng said faintly: "Old War God, you know that I have entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm before. The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm has many divine sites, and the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb is one of those divine sites. Divine sites are not something you can enter just because you want to. Even if you know the location, without the proper timing, there is nothing you can do. Only when certain supernatural phenomena occur, will it appear naturally.
It is rumored that the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb appears once every three years, and each time it only opens for a few minutes. We just need to wait quietly. You chose this perfect time to come, naturally knowing this. Let’s just wait patiently here."
Everyone nodded, feeling that Ye Feng’s words made sense. Liu Mu curiously asked: "Heavenly Monarch, will there be supernatural phenomena when the divine sites appear?"
Ye Feng nodded faintly: "Of course, haven’t you noticed something different here?"
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone was startled, looking around, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Above their heads, there was an incomparably huge dark cloud, pressing down from above, enveloping the surroundings in darkness. They hadn’t noticed it earlier because they were too focused on finding the entrance to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, and the dazzling light from Zhanlu and the Chi Xiao Divine Sword had distracted them from the changing surroundings.
The dark clouds were like a sea of darkness floating in the sky, ready to devour them.
Looking at the ominous clouds above, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.
"It seems it’s just as Ye Feng said. We don’t need to rush. Let’s wait patiently. It won’t be long before the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb appears ..." the Old War God said.
Afterwards, Ye Feng and the others found a place to settle, waiting quietly, adjusting their states as they anticipated the revelation of the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb.
Time swiftly passed by; it was soon the end of the day...
