Chapter 153 - 153 Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi Water Droplet!
153 Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi Water Droplet!
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
The next day.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Early in the morning, sounds of gongs and drums could be heard from the Li family’s residence. At the same time, sorrowful cries could be heard.
Soon after, under the gaze of many, twelve muscular men carrying an ancient bronze coffin slowly walked out of the Netherworld Coffin Shop.
Behind the coffin was a group of Li family members.
Today was the day of Li Xuandao’s funeral.
This funeral was organized by the Netherworld Coffin Shop.
Having been promised a large sum of money, the Netherworld Coffin Shop put in a lot of effort to organize the funeral. Not only had they arranged for professional mourners, but they had also arranged for 12 Heavenly Cycle realm experts to carry the coffin.
The scene was extremely grand.
Looking over, many members of the Li family, including the young masters, elders, and even the old ancestors, had heavy expressions on their faces.
This scene caused the surrounding people to sigh endlessly.
“Sigh, it is their misfortune. It was supposed to be a birthday celebration, but it turned into a time of great sorrow.”
“I heard that Li Xuandao died of mental and physical exhaustion due to excessive grief. However, why do I feel that this matter is a little strange?”
“Yeah, it’s too much of a coincidence.”
“Right, I heard that something even weirder happened in the Li family yesterday. Half of the resources in the Li family’s treasury disappeared mysteriously.”
“Yes, I have also heard about it. They should have offended someone.”
…
The crowd chattered. All of them showed sympathy for the Li family’s tragic experience in the past two days.
After all, the series of events was indeed too tragic.
Everyone from the Li family had a solemn expression on their faces, but deep in their hearts, there was an inexplicable panic and unease. Through the deaths of Li Xuandao and his two sons, they could feel that someone was deliberately targeting the Li family.
They wondered what more terrifying things were waiting for the Li family next.
Therefore, everyone was on tenterhooks.
Just like that, they arrived at the Heishui River with complicated feelings.
At this moment, a large number of cultivators had already gathered to watch the show.
This included Qi Changqing from the Beihai Family, Zhao Longxiang from the Coiling Dragon Family, Pei Jianzhi from the Langya Family, as well as Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong from the Qingyi Marquis’s Mansion.
Because the descent of the Path to Heaven was approaching, many famous large factions had come to Heishui Ancient City as well.
This included the Xia Dynasty, the True Dragon Academy, the Shangqing Sword Palace, the Yinyue Dynasty, and many other ancient giants of the Green Heaven Region.
At this moment, all of them gathered at the bank of the Heishui River and looked at the Li family’s funeral procession with interest.
“Eighteenth brother, I heard that the Li family’s ancestral land is hidden in the Heishui River?”
In the crowd, a peerless woman in green looked at the Li family’s funeral procession and said to the man in embroidered clothes next to her without turning her head.
“Yes. According to rumors, the Li family’s ancestral land used to be a blessed land. However, for some reason, the grotto-heaven was abandoned. Later, by chance, the Li family’s ancestors found it and used it as their ancestral land to bury the Li family’s old ancestors, clan leaders, and clansmen who had made outstanding contributions. Now, that grotto-heaven has another name, the Heishui Secret Realm. In a moment, the Li family’s patriarch will use a secret technique and a legacy supreme treasure to open the Heishui Secret Realm and bury Li Xuandao’s body inside,” The young man in embroidered clothes said calmly.
Hearing this, the eyes of the green-robed woman lit up.
“Opening the Heishui Secret Realm requires a secret technique and a treasure?”
“Of course. It is said that the ancestor of the Li family once obtained a Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl. This item is extremely wondrous. It can forcefully split the water of the Heishui River. Then, they’ll use a secret technique to summon the black tortoise divine statue hidden at the bottom of the river. The entrance to the Heishui Secret Realm is in the mouth of the statue. When the grotto-heaven was created, it was indeed a divine work. It was extremely mysterious. You will be able to see it in a while.”
The man in embroidered clothes seemed to know a lot about the Heishui Secret Realm. All kinds of secrets came out of his mouth.
Hearing his words, the green-robed woman became even more expectant.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she turned her gaze to the crowd in the distance.
“Eighteenth brother, look, aren’t those the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau? Doesn’t that person look like Han Buqu?”
Hmm? The Imperial Heaven Bureau?
The embroidered-robed man looked over and indeed saw Han Buqu hidden in the crowd.
“It really is. Strange, what are the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau doing in the Heishui Ancient City? Don’t tell me they’re also here to experience the Path to Heaven?”
“Eighteenth Brother, you don’t know this, right? Han Buqu and the others from the Imperial Heavenly Bureau are here to arrest the Mad Daoist. ”
Arrest the Mad Daoist?
The embroidered-robed man revealed a surprised expression.
“The Mad Daoist escaped to the Heishui Ancient City?”
“Yes. Previously, in Sunset Battlefield, the people sent by the Imperial Heaven Bureau to capture the Mad Daoist were wiped out. This time, they finally managed to deduce his whereabouts, so they definitely won’t let him go,” The green-robed woman said in a low voice.
“I see. But aren’t Han Buqu and the others going to arrest the Mad Daoist? Why are they here? Could it be that the Mad Daoist wants to… Does he have designs on the Li family’s ancestral grave?”
Suddenly, he thought of a shocking possibility.
“That should be the case. I heard that the Mad Daoist likes to dig graves the most. The older the grave, the more interested he is. Today, the Li family is going to open the Heishui Secret Realm. He will definitely go in and dig the grave. Hehe, if that’s the case, there will be a good show to watch.”
At this point, the eyes of the woman in green instantly burst out with intense antic.i.p.ation. Her eyes were fixed on the Li family’s funeral procession without blinking.
Similarly, the embroidered-robed man at the side also looked on with interest.
…
On the Heishui River, Lin Wudao, the Mad Daoist, and Qin Daofu had been waiting for a long time.
At this moment, with the help of the invisibility jade talisman, they hid in the void and quietly waited for the Heishui Secret Realm to open.
“Brother Ren, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of the Imperial Heaven Bureau have indeed come. You have to work harder later.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. Though, I can only give you 15 minutes at most. You must finish within 15 minutes. Otherwise, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”
“Alright,” The Mad Daoist nodded solemnly.
Fifteen minutes was enough for him to dig the graves.
“Get ready! The Li family is about to open the Heishui Secret Realm.”
Suddenly, Qin Daofu’s deep voice rang out.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist looked in the direction of the Li family.
They saw that many members of the Li family had already arrived at the Heishui River.
After a grand ceremony, Li Duantian’s familiar figure appeared in front of everyone again. Moreover, he was holding a jade box in his hand.
Whoosh!
The moment the jade box was opened, a burst of dazzling green light bloomed, illuminating all directions.
Inside was a fist-sized pearl.
“Spiritual treasure, Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl.”
Lin Wudao was shocked when he saw the green pearl.
This was the first time he had seen a spiritual treasure.
The so-called spiritual treasures were naturally formed. Different spiritual treasures had different effects.
The biggest use of the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl was to separate water and avoid water. Wherever there was water, it had various magical effects.
“This is a treasure,” He secretly praised.
Boom!
While Lin Wudao was sizing the pearl up, Li Duantian had already activated the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl. In an instant, a beam of dazzling green light surged out like a waterfall and fell into the Heishui River.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Accompanied by earth-shattering booms, the water in the Heishui River surged wildly under the might of the green light.
In the end, it was as if a pair of large hands had cut off the water of the Heishui River and then slowly parted the surface of the river.
Gradually, the riverbed was revealed.
“Black Tortoise Seal, summon the black tortoise!”
When the surface of the river was parted by the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl, Li Duantian formed a mysterious seal.
In an instant, the riverbed cracked.
Rumble!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a 1,000-foot-tall black tortoise divine statue appeared from underground.
Then, it slowly opened its mouth and a huge pa.s.sage was revealed.
“Time for burial!”
Seeing that the Heishui Secret Realm had been successfully opened, Li Duantian immediately gave the order. Immediately after, four powerful Li family elders carried Li Xuandao’s coffin and walked towards the entrance step by step.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist’s spirit was greatly boosted.
“Now!”
With a shout, he immediately rushed toward the Heishui Secret Realm at his fastest speed.
