Chapter 1069: There is a treasure inside

The Empress's gaze fell on the Immortal Skeleton through the stone door. She muttered to herself as she retracted her gaze.

In the end, he looked at the other seven stone doors in the surroundings, excluding his own.

After scanning through them, the Empress narrowed her eyes at the third stone door. She closed her eyes, sat down cross-legged, and waited silently.

Behind the sealed third stone door, there was a black-robed man wrapped in chains who had been moving strangely all the way to the Dark Flame Emperor's place of seclusion …

He was standing there.

His eyes were fixed on the stone door in front of him. It was as if his gaze could see through the door and observe the underground palace and the black crystal in the Immortal Skeleton's hands.

He didn't act rashly. Instead, he sat down cross-legged with a gloomy expression and waited.

At the same time, the other forces in the Rain World were using their own knowledge and different methods to approach the underground palace.

They were searching for the stone door that led there.

They had the advantage in searching. On one hand, they had information about the Dark Flame Emperor's place of seclusion.

On the other hand, their cultivation made it easier for them to sense the location of the door.

It could be said that apart from Xu Qing and Er Niu, the others who came to the Dark Flame Emperor's place of seclusion were all experts and scheming.

Only Xu Qing and Er Niu were like headless flies in the Rain World. They knew nothing about the door or the underground palace.

After watching the old Sovereign leave, the two of them summoned the corpses from the graveyard dozens of times before they were finally able to feed the head's family until they were full.

They didn't even have time to check their storage pouches.

This kind of consumption made Xu Qing and Er Niu both physically and mentally exhausted.

However, there were also benefits. They had already become much more familiar with the usage of the gray fog from the beginning, and had also reached a level of finesse.

Er Niu, in particular, was the main force. He was already close to perfection under this passive practice.

As for freedom … although they still didn't have it, after the family had eaten their fill, they brought Xu Qing and Er Niu back to their nest.

Their nest was located in a peerless tomb!

The tomb was as big as a mountain.

Along the way, Xu Qing and Er Niu had never seen such a vast mountain. It was so tall that it touched the sky, and its size was like a huge city. It stood there as if it was the peak of this world.

Inside the necropolis were numerous necropolis, as well as numerous restrictive spells. However, with the return of the clan, those restrictive spells were like decorations.

After returning to the old nest, the family dispersed. The two heads went to the main palace and closed their eyes to sleep.

The small heads also returned to their respective palaces and fell asleep.

This time, they had eaten too much and were still digesting their gains.

For a moment, thunderous breaths could be heard in the underground palace.

As for the freedom that Xu Qing and Er Niu had lost, they had returned.

"Only a tomb as big as this can hold this entire family …"

"Looking at it this way, this family should have once been corpses. Merely, for some unknown reason, they gained intelligence and a certain degree of recovery."

Er Niu glanced at Xu Qing, and the two of them looked at each other. After waiting for a moment and confirming that the family was asleep, they carefully retreated and wanted to find a way to leave.

But soon, the two of them sighed.

Their freedom was only limited to a certain degree.

They could act normally in the necropolis, but they couldn't leave if they wanted to.

The restrictive spells were one of them. It wasn't that they couldn't break them, but the most important problem was that when they put a certain amount of distance between them, their hearts would palpitate.

The thunderous snoring came to a stop, as if the giant head would wake up in the next moment.

"Damn it, they won't let us escape at all."

"It must be because they've never eaten so much, so they're addicted!"

Er Niu was furious. He checked the items he had taken from the Sovereign. It seemed that only by calculating his gains could he feel better.

Xu Qing looked pensive. He didn't look at the items that Er Niu was checking. Instead, he looked around at the necropolis and suddenly spoke.

"Eldest Senior Brother, according to your theory on the barren planet …"

"You determined that Dark Flame must have an opportunity, so the more barren a place is, the more opportunity there is."

"Then … what about here?"

Xu Qing's eyes glinted.

"I observed the number of necropolis here, and it perfectly matches the family. When they returned, the restrictive spells were intact, but they didn't stop them at all."

"Then, there's a high probability that this is the family's grave."

"If my judgment is correct, how did they come to life?

Could it be that there is some kind of opportunity here that made them different from the other corpses? "

Xu Qing looked at Er Niu as he spoke.

Er Niu was deep in thought. When he heard the last part, his eyes lit up.

"Not bad, Little Ah Qing. Your analysis is exactly the same as what I think!"

"I was just about to say that we should search this place thoroughly."

Er Niu rubbed his hands and looked around.

Xu Qing naturally wouldn't argue with Er Niu about what he thought. Seeing that their eldest senior brother agreed, they didn't hesitate and scattered to search for suspicious places.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

Soon, seven days passed.

The entire family was still asleep, and it was clear that they would not wake up anytime soon. During these seven days, Xu Qing and Er Niu had searched almost all the places they could find.

Even the palaces where the small heads were in deep slumber, the two of them split up to investigate.

However, they did not find any fortuitous encounters.

Everything in the necropolis was completely empty. Even some of the items had decayed and become meaningless.

In the end, the two of them appeared outside the tomb of the main palace where the two large heads were.

This was the only place they could think of that contained fortuitous encounters, but they had not entered it.

"Could it be inside?"

Er Niu's breathing quickened slightly.

Xu Qing's eyes shone brightly.

Even though it was dangerous to step into the main tomb where the two large heads were, since things had already turned out this way, even if it was dangerous, it would not be too dangerous.

Therefore, after they looked at each other, they gritted their teeth and stepped into the main tomb.

The moment they entered, they heard thunderous snoring that was deafening.

The two large heads that were stuck together were lying there, deep in sleep.

The entire main tomb was about the same as the outside. It was empty, and there was no debris. There was only … a stone door at the end.

The door gave off an ancient feeling, and the marks carved on it also gave off the feeling of time, as if it had existed for a very, very long time.

The moment they saw the door, Xu Qing and Er Niu's hearts stirred.

They had searched everywhere, but this stone door was the only place that gave them a strange feeling.

Therefore, after the two of them looked at each other, they probed the two large heads, then carefully moved forward and finally arrived in front of the door.

The instant they stood there, Xu Qing and Er Niu's pupils shrank.

At such a close distance, the ancient feeling from the door was even stronger. At the same time, there was a thick aura of death that seemed to be slowly seeping out from the door.

"There's a supreme treasure inside!"

Er Niu's breathing quickened. After he sniffed a few times, his eyes shone brightly and crazily.

"Based on my premonition and my intuition when searching for treasures in the past, Lil 'Ah Qing, the treasure inside is incredible!"

Er Niu licked his lips and quickly walked forward. After he raised his hand and touched the stone door, he felt his heartbeat accelerate, and he was even more certain of his judgment. He raised his hand and pushed forcefully.

The door did not move at all.

Even though Xu Qing also raised his hand and the two of them worked together, the stone door only trembled a few times and did not open.

Er Niu was anxious.

A blue light flashed in his eyes, and he gave Xu Qing a look. Xu Qing immediately turned around and looked at the two sleeping heads.

His gaze finally landed on the head that had captured them. He cupped his fists and bowed.

"Senior, thank you for taking care of me along the way."

"Since Senior brought the two of us here, I don't believe that you have no intention of opening this door."

"Since that's the case, I'll have to ask for your help, senior."

Along the way, the giant head didn't say anything, and everything seemed to be done instinctively. However, Xu Qing couldn't help but recall that enigmatic smile from moments ago.

And his tacit approval of their extortion of the Sovereign …

Thus, Xu Qing didn't believe that the other party wasn't intelligent. And based on this judgment, bringing the two of them here and allowing them to pass through this door … there must be a reason behind this.

This was clearly Er Niu's judgment, so when Xu Qing turned around and bowed, Er Niu also bowed deeply.

The snoring sound instantly disappeared.

The two heads slowly opened their eyes and stared at Xu Qing and Er Niu.

Then, their gazes moved away and landed on the stone door. Their expressions became serious and solemn, and an intense sense of dread rose within them.

But in the end … perhaps Xu Qing and Er Niu's judgment was correct, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but after looking at each other, the two heads blew at the same time.

These two breaths silently landed on the stone door.

The stone door instantly rumbled. Xu Qing and Er Niu seized the opportunity and pushed with all their might.

Finally, the stone door trembled violently and was pushed open by a small gap.

The instant the gap appeared, an aura of death spread out, accompanied by fluctuations of Dao Marks.

Xu Qing and Er Niu's hearts trembled. This was because their gazes pierced through the gap and saw … a vast underground palace that had formed a storm in their minds.

Countless skeletons piled up on an altar.

Immortal skeletons sat cross-legged, as well as a large number of inheritance seals, Dao Marks, and authority.

And floating in the surroundings … were numerous Emperor treasures.

"The Dark Flame Emperor's place of seclusion!"

These eight words instantly appeared in Xu Qing and Er Niu's minds.

At the same time, they also noticed that there were other stone doors in the underground palace.

Some were sealed, while others … had been opened.

And behind each of the opened stone doors, there were figures sitting cross-legged.

There were a total of three.

These were the cultivators from the Western Demon Feather who had entered the Dao Platform with them in the outside world!

The instant Xu Qing and Er Niu looked at them, the three of them also looked up, and their gazes pierced through the gap between the stone doors.

They exchanged glances.
