Chapter 1030 - 121: Tomb Exploration and the Blacksmiths’ Schemes
Beast Taming Room.
True Immortal Danding remained expressionless, hands folded behind their back, standing proudly before the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, listening to the report from the Celestial Immortal kneeling on one knee behind them.
"My lord, that Ancient Immortal Sect by the Imperial City—Myriad Immortal Sect."
"We fought our way, passing through many deadly trials, unraveling patterns and breaking through the Dharma Methods, bypassing the Tomb Guardian Beasts of Celestial and True Immortals, reaching the Seventy-Third Peak, the dwelling of the Immortal Venerate, witnessing the shadow left by the Immortal Venerate before death."
"And we were attacked by a terrifying ancient taboo dwelling deep within, a writhing sinister unknown entity, of which we couldn’t identify its nature."
"As we killed our way through, we discovered that the inhabitants within this tomb’s world had a 50% chance of mysteriously resurrecting, it was utterly terrifying."
"Upon resurrection, they were no longer the rigid puppet tomb beasts but became more spiritual, with intellect, having killed us numerous times, each of us on this trip died seventeen times, constantly retrieving our bodies and bringing back our companions’ corpses."
"Were it not for the esteemed True Immortals researching this Immortal Artifact puppet body for us, crafting and repairing it like a weapon, we’d have had to start from scratch upon rebirth."
...
True Man Danding, hearing the praise, couldn’t help but smile faintly:
"Naturally, the body race I crafted for you is precisely for you to explore this Illusion Realm, to cultivate swiftly, so that upon death, when retrieving your corpse, the loss upon resurrection is minimal."
"No wonder you’re the lord." The Celestial Immortal gazed with admiration.
True Man Danding wore a proud expression: "Throughout the entire Refining Cauldron Domain, my weapon-crafting skills are amongst the strongest under the Immortal Venerate."
She and True Immortal Momei had been friends for many years, naturally, held no airs in private.
Yet outwardly, she was the distant and cold Fairy whom none dared approach, despite paradoxically possessing a fiery core within.
Putting on airs and upholding dignity, only then would the cultivators below not dare act presumptuously, this being the art of the emperor.
Thud, thud, thud.
In the various laboratories behind, several True Immortals, listening to the report, emerged.
Each wore a solemn expression.
The bodies outside have a 50% chance of resurrecting? What on earth is this?
"Danding, it seems our Celestial Immortal team has made quite the gain."
One True Immortal, regaining their composure, chuckled:
"The Space Immortal Venerate from within this Ancient Tomb disappeared, yet outside the Imperial Palace, the other sects under this supreme Space Immortal Venerate, their defensive capabilities are perhaps even more terrifying than the Imperial Palace itself!"
Another True Immortal grew interested: "We could take a trip, seek out ancient truths, not being entangled in researching the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, venturing into the Secret Realm for relaxation."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Now, the Immortal Venerates, the thirteen giants, personally scoured the core of the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb before allowing the True Immortals in to explore, superficially resolving crises for us.
The Immortal Venerates feast, while the True Immortals drink the soup.
By the time it’s the True Immortals’ turn to enter, some things have vanished.
The Immortal Venerates have always intentionally obscured history, yet here, we could truly learn history.
The Laws of Heaven and Earth have drastically changed.
Today, it’s not the mythical era of yore, nor can one return to the past.
Yet they are still very interested in history.
At this moment.
They realized, not only was the Yin Yang Creation Furnace compelling.
This Immortal Venerate Secret Realm Illusion, provided by this secret Business Alliance, also held great fortune!
"It seems, this Xirong Taoist really provided a lot of fixed free benefits."
"This is a free exploration of history."
"Don’t mention that nowadays even the Celestial Immortals are exploring together, if us True Immortals present went ourselves, we might die hundreds of times before conquering the Secret Realm, after all, our level now is merely that of Human Immortals."
The group continuously conversed, full of enthusiasm.
At this moment, an elderly, white-haired True Immortal chuckled and said:
"If you ask me, this lineage of Taoists might really not be lying, they are indeed prehistorical remnants born within the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb, Jiao Wuyu is their ancient historical figure."
"Their luck was exceedingly good, adventuring all the way, they walked out of the Immortal Venerate’s tomb to reach the Immortal Realm, and now, the Immortal Venerate’s tomb in this illusion is precisely drawn from their past adventure scenes."
The group couldn’t help but nod in agreement, it made sense.
Without personal experience, how could they depict so many Illusion Realms?
Ning Zheng listened to their conversation from the shadows, smiling and shaking their head:
"They still don’t suspect at all, this isn’t a dream, but reality."
Yet understandably so.
The Illusion Realm technology of the Immortal Realm is far too advanced!
High-end illusions are almost indistinguishable from reality, making it hard for you to tell.
The present one is also indistinguishable, no matter how genuine you present, people merely think your technology is not bad.
Furthermore, they even think I offer this free adventure and pioneering of this world...
As a benefit I, Xirong Manor Master, provide them, bringing them joy.
This whole situation is simply a win-win.
Both sides are quite delighted.
Playing the game, it’s precisely for such fun, isn’t it?
Nevertheless, some True Immortals held opposing views: "What’s the point of investigating history? You are abandoning our collaborative research on the Yin Yang Creation Furnace?"
"Indeed, if you’re not collaborating, then you might as well withdraw, we’ll research on our own."
Soon, a group of True Immortals split into two factions, some who loved combat wanted to venture out, to enjoy the thrill of battle, to see which adversaries were worthy of engagement.
Being High Tier cultivators, many were combat fanatics.
After some debate, the True Immortals were divided into two camps, one to continue research, one to venture out on exploration.
If they were marked by game professions.
One group remained as life skill players in the Newbie Village.
