Next, the person on the other side kept introducing information about the tomb, and Ning Zheng chatted with her for a while.
The other party was named Shi Youxing, the Patriarch of the Demon Cultivator Shi Family, Four Viscera Realm Great Perfection.
After all, true Three Elements Great Cultivators would not handle family affairs.
Those Elders and seniors have hidden themselves away, closed off, trying to reach higher Realms.
Only those in the Four Viscera Realm are responsible for coordinating various family matters.
But if any issues occur during this tomb raiding, ultimately, it will still require each family's Great Cultivators to intervene and have the final say.
Ning Zheng discussed briefly, then pretended to communicate with the Manor Master before stating that the family agreed and completely accepted the plan.
Ning Zheng didn't have any psychological repulsion towards exploring the ancient tomb.
After all, one must always have contact with the outside world, venture out, and blend into other circles.
The circle of Demon Cultivators was also the inheritance left behind by his predecessor.
Moreover, this in itself is a very good opportunity.
If it required several Great Cultivators to rob a caravan or attack a place, he simply couldn't agree because it would expose the emptiness of his high-level combat power.
But exploring the ancient tomb, initially, doesn't require powerful cultivators and needs some cannon fodder, which allows him to participate without being found out.
Thinking of this, Ning Zheng began to plot the process he should follow once the Teleportation Array is completed tomorrow.
"We have three requirements," Ning Zheng said. Chapters fırst released on novel·fire.net
"Go ahead," Shi Youxing said with a cheerful smile, clearly in a good mood.
"First, we need an Array to establish a small area that cannot be left," Ning Zheng said.
Creating an Air Wall is very important.
He had spent some time secretly learning about the so-called "Game Mode" in forums.
He has no intention of becoming a so-called open-world sandbox, and still displays that it's a large "instance" map in the craftsmen's exhibitions.
"An area that can't be left?"
The person on the other side pondered for a moment and then said:
"I can understand, after all, our disciples might try to escape or be afraid to enter the tomb, isolation is necessary; also, we Tomb Raiders need an Array to shield us from the outside world to avoid being discovered... this request is very reasonable."
Ning Zheng voiced the second requirement:
"Recently, our manor's young disciples have been acting mentally unstable, Fire and Demonic, and may harass you or behave strangely, please ignore them and do not show any look of fright or surprise, their behavior is normal in our manor."
Shi Youxing was a bit curious.
Has their family recently been cultivating some new Demon Technique, researching some new branch of the Blood Separation Flower?
After all, they have three branch Cultivation Techniques of the Blood Separation Flower: Blood and Flesh Field branch, Blood and Flesh Puppet branch, Blood and Flesh Dominating Body branch.
Shi Youxing chuckled and curiously asked:
"Have you now researched a fourth Blood Separation Flower Technique branch—Brain Separation Flower?"
"After all, the brain is part of the blood and flesh, researching Brain Flower Separation and starting Fire and Demonic, leading to irritability and mental abnormalities?"
What's Brain Flower Separation?
Thinking of the brain blooming open like a flower, it feels like a horror movie.
Indeed, Demon Cultivators are truly outrageous.
It's probably why those craftsmen get along well with them, but he seems to be too proper and incompatible.
"It's almost Technique becoming Demonic." Ning Zheng said ambiguously.
"That's not a problem," Shi Youxing stated, "As long as they don't harm our people, I'll have them be tolerant."
Ning Zheng stated the final condition: "We might deploy some Ghosts to assist with tomb exploration."
Shi Youxing laughed, "We will also deploy these Ghosts."
Deploying Embers is indeed the profession of a Tomb Raider.
A mature, well-inherited tomb raiding group will let Embers assist in exploration.
Because most Ghosts will not show hostility to their own kind.
Embers entering tombs is very convenient.
Of course, cultivating an Ember skilled in tomb raiding means the person had to be a Tomb Raider in life.
Such Embers, only well-rooted tomb raiding families possess!
Even so, their family doesn't have many tomb raiding Ghosts, each is incredibly precious, losing even one would be extremely painful.
Yet the other party also brings Embers for exploration?
Probably not for tomb raiding, just as a suicide squad.
Shi Youxing shook her head, "The third condition is also fine."
"After four years, we are eager to cooperate with your family again, allowing our younger generations to exchange and build deep friendships."
The sky was gloomy, heavy snow began to fall.
Gui Pu walked on the Desolate Mountain, carrying a long sword.
A few cultivators from Xinyi Academy accompanied him; they were all in the Three Elements Realm and had been following him from Yunshan City like sticky candy, unable to be shaken off.
The sky suddenly split open.
A gigantic face spanned the sky, splitting the clouds above and dispersing the snow curtain below, stretching across thousands of meters.
Jian Xin descended heavily from the sky, scattering the clouds, and landed in front of him.
"Finally caught you." Jian Xin spoke coldly.
After Jian Xin, thirty or so stars fell from the sky, raining down as a meteor shower, frantically falling in his area.
Gui Pu was so shocked he couldn't speak, staring blankly at all this.
Weren't Jian Xin and the others going to capture the culprit? Were they not unavailable?
And, if it were just Jian Xin, it would be fine.
But why did so many Great Powers descend?
At that moment, seeing himself granted such honor, Gui Pu had an illusion:
With so many Great Powers coming to capture me, am I actually the assassin of the Saint?
After Jian Xin descended, he casually tossed a Divine Artifact to Gui Pu, "Take it, consider yourself lucky, keep this for protection, you might be attacked later, follow me to the capital to meet the Saint."
Gui Pu stayed silent for a long while, "Why do I suddenly need to meet the Saint? Can I refuse?"
This was already beyond his comprehension.
He's just a minor cultivator from a local city, what merit does he have to visit the capital and meet the Saint, with a group of big shots escorting?
"Meet the Saint or die, choose one."
Jian Xin didn't pay attention to him, looking at his colleagues around, his expression stern:
"Everyone, let's set off! Escort this sword and person to Xinyi Continent City, then directly to the capital via the Prince's Mansion's Teleportation Array, this mission is critical, involving the country's stability, so please be cautious."
Jian Xin glanced at the Xinyi Academy cultivators pursuing Gui Pu, speaking calmly:
"You followed to track his weapon, you cannot leave, cannot send messages, everything about this operation is confidential."
The few Xinyi Academy cultivators immediately felt a chill.
We have to stick around, and can't communicate outside?
They also felt themselves caught in a huge vortex.
Originally, it was all about issuing a warrant for Gui Pu, capturing him, even life or death didn't matter.
But now, the situation has completely reversed.
Some stars will not go after the assassins; instead, they suddenly start descending to escort Gui Pu and the Rice Flower Yin Yang Sword.
They suddenly remembered some news.
The Saint was attacked but supposedly unharmed, yet the arrow was rumored to be poisoned with a world-shattering toxin, resulting in the Saint's blindness, and the absence of the sun and moon would cause many, many chain reactions.
The Court seems secretly summoning the country's physicians, divine craftsmen, and even peak figures of various professions.
Could the Yin Yang Rice Flower Sword be related to healing the Saint's eyes?
They suddenly recalled one evaluation from Xinyi Academy.
This weapon is unprecedented with Dual Spirit Roots, Yin-Yang Convergence, Yin-Yang Balance...
"Sun as Yang, Moon as Yin, could it be..."
The leading cultivators from Xinyi Academy felt their Heart Mind tremble, nearly losing their composure.
"This Yin-Yang Demon Weapon contains a rare divine property of Yin-Yang balance, an unprecedented Spiritual Root cycle, possibly a way to manage the sun and moon."
Gui Pu was silent, though his pupils contracted, fists clenched tightly, as if he too had realized some possibilities.
This Demon Weapon has truly brought disaster upon me!
Why does it become more and more a tangled mess...
Ordinarily, this Demon Weapon would only be regarded as mysterious and ghostly.
But now, with the Saint attacked, the Rice Flower Yin Yang Sword responds to his eyes, offering potential for eye healing.
Even if not, perhaps craftsmen from across the world could research and derive fundamental theories from it to create Sun Moon Divine Artifacts.
An inconceivable thought suddenly erupted in his mind, inspiring awe and longing:
This sword might be the first generation primitive embryo of the sun and moon!
