This corpse will ultimately be buried in a cemetery outside the Capital City.
Emperor Li wanted to go fishing, but I'm afraid he won't catch anything now.
Because no outsiders will come.
The fish, many, many years ago, were already here, always waiting in the cemetery with open mouths, waiting for the bait to be thrown into their mouths; they didn't need to do anything at all.
After retrieving the power left by the Old Eunuch in the palace, there was no longer any need for him, the Tomb Guardian, to continue.
He had maintained a near-death state for many years.
Now that he's dead, it's quite normal.
Their cultivation powers, having the same origin, even the Old Eunuch's Fourth-tier strength, began to rapidly ascend during the few months he lay in the tomb.
And that tomb shielded all potentially leaking fluctuations.
Now he had no choice but to come out, had to leave.
He was about to reach the Ninth Tier.
Advancing to the Ninth Tier, he could no longer remain hidden.
The Old Eunuch's crippled leg was healed. Once he entered the Abyssal Rift, he didn't suppress it any longer.
His power directly transcended the boundary, stepping into the ranks of the Ninth Tier.
The cold power howled forth, yin qi coalescing into clouds.
The two Jinyi Wei guarding here were immediately frozen into ice sculptures and died an unnatural death.
The Old Eunuch glanced at the place where the two Jinyi Wei were hidden, let out a cold laugh, and walked toward the direction of the cave.
Upon reaching the cave, he looked around, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The other condition he was waiting for hadn't appeared.
However, it was no longer important and didn't affect the main thing he had to do.
He took out a finger with a sharp nail, reached the edge of the pit, floated down, and placed one hand on the rune.
In the Void, Yu Ziqing sat before An History Book, inspecting the contents, when An History Book automatically turned its pages to the one on the Demon Concubine's Sealing.
The page glowed, indicating someone was coming and the Token they carried was to access this page.
"Finally here, huh? How did he confirm that once he goes in, he can break the seal and get out?"
Yu Ziqing was somewhat puzzled.
He had searched through the records of various seals in An History Book, dating back more than three hundred years before Dingmao Era.
Many of his doubts had already been resolved.
Therefore, he didn't understand; without the Ba, how could he dare to enter?
Without the Ba, how could he break the seal?
Without breaking the seal, he couldn't hope to get out.
Watching the page on the Demon Concubine's Sealing rotating with light, Yu Ziqing lightly tapped An History Book.
"I think it's time you developed a read-only mode.
That is, just to view the real situation inside but not enter.
You can't say you can't do it now."
An History Book gave no response, and Yu Ziqing continued.
"See, this is the real reaction when you can't keep up.
It looks the same as when you're playing dead, but in reality, it's completely different."
An History Book gave no reaction.
"See, this is what playing dead really is.
I've almost fought my way through the entire Dingmao Era, and you still want to bluff me?
In the beginning, you couldn't keep up with many things I said.
Lately, your reactions have become faster, and you can immediately respond even to complex questions.
The more seals I break, the more intelligent you become.
Even before when people came, you could accurately separate each person into different seals.
At first, you didn't have this kind of spiritual wisdom.
I don't care whether your spiritual wisdom is increasing, or it's being restored, or you've been playing dumb with me all along.
I am not too concerned.
Now, immediately, I want a read-only mode.
Without entering, I want to observe the whole process."
An History Book gave no response, played dead for a while, then the glowing light on that page suddenly expanded.
With An History Book as the center, it quickly loaded the entire Dingmao City like a virtual program.
Yu Ziqing was now standing on the main street.
As pedestrians walked by and bumped into Yu Ziqing, they passed right through him.
Yu Ziqing tried to touch anything, but his hand passed right through it, unable to touch anything.
Yu Ziqing was satisfied and gave An History Book a thumbs up.
"Well done. Don't hold back with me in the future, it's pointless.
Whether you've become more intelligent or your previous intelligence is being restored, I don't mind it.
If you have any new abilities, just tell me directly; don't make me force it out of you.
That's just hurtful, don't you think?
If you had told me these things earlier, I wouldn't have had to painstakingly investigate."
In read-only mode, everything here was a projected phantom; although he couldn't interfere, it was convenient for investigating a new seal.
Yu Ziqing saw an old man appearing outside the city.
Looking at the sparse hair, bare upper and lower lips, he knew this was an Old Eunuch.
The air around him betrayed his identity.
After appearing, the Old Eunuch held a long, sharp, desiccated finger with a claw.
He put away the finger and just stood outside the city, muttering to himself.
"Ascend a thousand mountains and cross a multitude of waters, there's always a door opening in the Thousand Sect."
The voice was faint and erratic, spoken in the language of the Dadui era.
Yu Ziqing stood around ten feet from the Old Eunuch, yet the voice became increasingly muffled until it was ultimately carried away by a gust of Qingfeng, vanishing without a trace.
The Old Eunuch stood there waiting. After two hours, someone flew out of Dingmao City.
The individual, wearing a black robe and masked, approached the Old Eunuch, sizing him up with a slightly furrowed brow.
