Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Holy Tomb?"

"Could it be the grand burial site of ’Saints’ within the Three Thousand Great Realms? Such a place actually exists!" Taken forcibly, Xiao Ye’s mind surged with waves of shock.

The mysterious man before him was truly terrifying, displaying means that were utterly extraordinary, bringing him wave after wave of astonishment.

Not long after, as Xiao Ye’s sight was restored again, he found himself standing atop a pile of white bones, and the surroundings were filled with serene white bones scattered across the entire heaven and earth.

The bones were eerily quiet, Yin Qi assaulting the senses, the sky dull and darkened, with countless corpses spread as far as the eye could see, resembling an Underworld Hell.

This place seemed to be a world filled with countless skeletal remains!

These bones had lost their flesh, and were all remains of Human Clan Martial Artists, yet the bones remained immortal through the ages, enshrouded in a glowing light, emanating incredibly terrifying Qi, at least of Spirit Rank experts, comparable to the Ancient Star City Master of the Blue Demon Star Domain, for there were quite a few here.

The terrifying aura rolled and surged, forming a fearsome suppression, overwhelmingly dominating, as if suppressing all living beings. Xiao Ye couldn’t even hope to fly, unable to extend his Emperor’s Thought, firmly suppressed.

Here, he felt as if he had become a mere mortal.

"This..."

Xiao Ye’s face was icy cold, his heart filled with horror.

So many bones that appeared to be remnants of the Human Clan Martial Artists, just how many people had died here? Even counting in billions might not suffice.

Could this be the Holy Tomb?

"Hmm, something’s wrong!"

Xiao Ye suddenly noticed these skeletal remains were positioned peculiarly, as if they were worshipping toward a certain direction.

Even in death, they maintained their inner faith!

"That is!"

Following the direction of these bones’ worship, Xiao Ye’s pupils suddenly contracted.

In the east of this bone-filled world, a giant-like tombstone stood towering, engraved upon it were the universally recognized characters of the Three Thousand Great Realms—

"Human Clan Great Saint, Ming Jiuyou’s Tomb!"

A Saint Rank expert is just laid here?

Xiao Ye’s heart trembled violently.

Even though he had only just entered the Three Thousand Great Realms, he knew what kind of deterrent power the word ’Saint’ held, able to suppress an entire Great Realm, eternally undefeated.

What kind of catastrophe must have occurred to cause even a ’Saint’ to fall?

However, if one could enter the tomb of this Human Clan Great Saint, they would definitely obtain treasures!

"Don’t delude yourself; this Human Clan Great Saint may have fallen, but his remaining might still lingers. Not just you, even if the Blue Demon from the Blue Demon Star Domain came, he would not withstand the might of a Saint."

"Unless the timing is right, no one can delve into it."

Seeming to see through Xiao Ye’s thoughts, the mysterious expert said lightly, making Xiao Ye awkwardly scratch his head.

"May I ask, what does the opportunity you mentioned refer to?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.

If he couldn’t delve into the Saint’s tomb, why did this mysterious expert bring him here?

"Spirit Rank Martial Artists are like seeds; the process of cultivation is like watering, waiting for them to bloom and bear fruit to become Saints, while Spirit Rank Cultivation Methods are like the watering nutrients, varying in quality."

"Most are simplifications of ’Ancient Scriptures’ forged by Saint Rank experts, thus their power is ordinary; Ancient Scriptures are the ’Primordial Skill’."

"To obtain a complete Ancient Scripture, either get it from a living Saint or from a fallen Saint, though the latter is extremely difficult, as few appear in an entire Great Realm."

"That Human Clan Quasi-New Saint Jiang Kong once entered the Holy Tomb and, relying on his initial Spirit Transformation strength, garnered recognition from the might of a fallen Great Saint, acquiring a complete Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, forging an unparalleled foundation, about to undergo Saint Transformation, and stand on equal footing with the Taixu Great Saint."

As the mysterious man said this, he deeply looked at Xiao Ye: "Your initial Spirit Transformation strength might not match Jiang Kong, but perhaps you may gain the recognition of the might from a fallen Saint."

"Primordial Law Ancient Scripture!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye finally understood the intent of the mysterious man before him.

Undoubtedly, obtaining a Saint Technique from a fallen Saint is exceedingly challenging, entirely related to the strength of one’s initial Spirit Transformation.

"The Great Saint lying in the Holy Tomb has contributed much to our Human Clan; pray with me, if you gain recognition from his might, you’ll receive the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture."

Having said this, the mysterious man’s expression turned solemn, as he reverently worshipped towards the grand tomb ahead.

Of course, Xiao Ye mimicked him, worshipping reverently alongside.

Yet as they worshipped, the surroundings remained deathly silent, with nothing happening.

"It seems you didn’t receive recognition from this Great Saint’s might." The mysterious man showed no disappointment, leading Xiao Ye away from there and onto another world filled with white bones.

This world was akin to the first Holy Tomb, filled with bones, a giant tombstone erected—Human Clan Great Saint, Zhen Wu Tong’s Tomb!

"Human Clan Great Saint, Qing Peng’s Tomb!"

"Human Clan Great Saint, Han Yu’s Tomb!"

"Human Clan Great Saint, Sword Heartless’s Tomb!"

"Human Clan Great Saint, Star-catcher Taoist’s Tomb!"

...

Xiao Ye sincerely worshipped at the tomb of each fallen Saint he accompanied the mysterious man to, but still, nothing happened.

The fallen Saint Rank experts, even in death, seemed beyond reach, as if Xiao Ye’s initial Spirit Transformation strength wasn’t enough to move these resting Saints.

"Alas, it seems I’m being too unrealistic; after all, talents like Jiang Kong, who are renowned in the Three Thousand Great Realms, are extremely rare."

"If you still fail to receive recognition from the might of this Saint’s tomb, we’ll leave here."

"Once at Spirit Capital, you’ll have to rely on yourself to obtain a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method."

Bringing Xiao Ye once more to a new world’s Holy Tomb, the mysterious man smiled slightly, his eyes revealing indelible disappointment.

Xiao Ye silently nodded in reply, feeling unwilling.

A place like the Holy Tomb, considered a Treasure Land within the Three Thousand Great Realms, such opportunities are truly rare?

Must he truly leave empty-handed?

"Hmm?"

"By accident, we arrived at the tomb of this Saint? Let’s leave." Just then, the mysterious man suddenly exclaimed, seeming a bit surprised.

Xiao Ye curiously glanced forward, immediately shuddering all over.

This Holy Tomb’s world was ordinary, without a single bone in sight, only a solitary monumental tombstone standing amidst heaven and earth.

"Time Great Saint, Xuan Xiao!"

Seeing these characters made Xiao Ye’s soul tremble, as the Time Tower within his chest emitted a torrent, controlling his body to worship toward the tombstone.

Boom!

As Xiao Ye worshipped, the tombstone seemed to awaken from slumber, violently shaking.
