The four of them sped through the sky above the Deity Realm Ceremony. It had to be said that if they ignored the massacre and only admired the beautiful scenery, the Deity Realm Ceremony could be said to be a paradise on earth.
Qin Shi looked down from high up in the sky. The ground was covered in a boundless sea of trees, and there were a few rivers that occasionally turned into embellishments. It was extremely like a colorful painting that was drawn by a famous person. However, when he sniffed the smell of blood that was everywhere in the air, all the beauty was abruptly destroyed.
"It's right in front!"
Following Ning Yu's lead, the four of them quickly passed through the sea of trees and arrived at the other end of the Deity Realm Ceremony.
Compared to the beautiful scenery from before, this place seemed a little absurd and desolate. The ground here was barren, without any vegetation. In fact, under the scorching heat, it had already dried up and cracked, emitting a faint red color.
When the four of them stopped at this absurd place, they were surrounded by volcanoes that were constantly erupting. Just like what Ning Yu said, the volcanoes here all contained extremely strong spiritual energy. Even Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. The spiritual energy of the volcanoes was very strong, causing him to be unable to detect the situation in the surroundings.
"How is it?
This is a good place to hide, right? "
Ning Yu said to Qin Shi as if she was asking for praise. Shortly after, she didn't forget to glance at Haoyue. This caused Haoyue to be stunned and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I have underestimated you."
"Of course, my reputation as a know-it-all is not just for show." Ning Yu didn't take the compliment and immediately became even more arrogant.
Looking around, Qin Shi nodded his head in satisfaction. From the looks of it, this place was indeed not known by others. It should be the best place to open the tomb.
"This is not all. That place is the best. There are four active volcanoes inside and in the center is a heavenly pond. In the center of the pond is a lone island. It is suitable for people to hide on it." After Ning Yu finished speaking, she took the lead and dashed in the direction he mentioned.
Qin Shi and the other two followed behind and quickly saw the lone island that Ning Yu mentioned.
After landing on the isolated island, Qin Shi was very satisfied with the power around him. The spiritual power here was almost completely blocked by the four volcanoes. Unless someone entered this Celestial Pond, it would be impossible to detect it.
The corners of Haoyue's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "I say, what kind of nose is that?
Are you born in the year of the dog?
How did you find such a place? "
When Kong Hyun-hui heard this, she burst into laughter. Perhaps only Ning Yu would be able to find such a place.
Qin Shi ignored the three of them and said to Kong Hyun-hui, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a while."
Compared to Haoyue and Qin Shi, Kong Hyun-hui's thoughts were much more secretive. She naturally knew what Qin Shi was worried about. "Well, be careful. We'll be here to protect you."
Only then did Qin Shi relax. He walked to the center of the island alone, lifted his black robe, and sat down cross-legged to meditate. His palm slowly took out the light ball that had been resting on his chest for a long time.
"The truth is finally going to be revealed."
When he thought about the origin of the light ball and the reason why he was summoned, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let me see who exactly you are."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi closed his eyes. Immediately after, a golden glow flickered on his forehead. A complicated imprint formed by telekinesis emerged from his forehead and connected with the light ball floating above the imprint.
"Buzz!"
In his deep sea of consciousness, Qin Shi immediately felt a buzzing sound. The light ball finally had a reaction. Layers of golden light enveloped him. Qin Shi felt his eyes brighten up and an unfamiliar world appeared in his mind.
Frowning, Qin Shi said in surprise, "This place is inside the light ball?"
Qin Shi didn't expect that there would be such a sacred space inside the light ball. Rays of golden light were like the setting sun, leaving bright spots on his body.
"Haha, little guy, what a surprise. I thought it would take another hundred years for you to find this place. I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly."
Suddenly, a chaotic voice resounded in the space.
Qin Shi was startled. His black pupils swept in all directions. However, no matter how he searched, he was unable to find the source of the voice. The voice seemed to be within every single setting sun.
"Who are you?"
Trying hard to control his emotions, Qin Shi shouted in a low voice.
"Who am I?
Haha, this question hasn't been asked in thousands of years. "
The voice rang out once more. However, this time, it caused Qin Shi to feel even more astonished, because he felt that the voice was getting closer and closer to him. It seemed to be approaching him from an unknown direction. This caused him to suddenly raise his head, and immediately, his body froze.
From the surging holy light, an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life appeared in the air. He wore golden robes and looked extremely noble. He stood in the air with his hands behind his back and smiled at Qin Shi, "Who do you think I should be?"
Qin Shi felt as if he had been seen through by the old man's gaze. He did not hide anything from the old man, even the fear in the depths of his heart.
He clenched his fists fiercely, "You're … the Martial God?"
"The Martial God?"
The old man was stunned. Soon after, he shook his head in self-mockery, "I don't have such great abilities. However, I can see that you're related to the Martial God. The Wushen Fruit that I coincidentally found back then seems to have already recognized you as its master?"
"You're not the Martial God?"
This result was out of Qin Shi's expectations. When he had found the Wushen Fruit in the Imperial Tomb, he had subconsciously mistaken the master of the Imperial Tomb for the Martial God. Now that he knew that he had guessed wrong, he was slightly disappointed.
"Stinking brat, what's with your expression?" The old man laughed bitterly, "I'm not the Martial God. You look very disappointed."
Qin Shi nodded his head in agreement. In his heart, he hoped that the master of the tomb was a Martial God. It was not because he wanted to gain some benefits from the Martial God, but because of the injuries of the Jade in the Book.
He thought that since the Martial God was able to create Jade In The Book, he must have a way to heal Jade In The Book.
"What a brat who doesn't give me face."
The old man was rather helpless against Qin Shi, but he did not get angry. He only looked him up and down and smiled, "Are you the descendant of the Human Emperor? You do look a bit similar."
"You know my ancestor?" Qin Shi's eyes widened.
The old man roared with laughter, "I don't just know him, I even fought him a few times in the past. If he didn't rely on the Evil Suppression Jade in his possession to defeat me by a fluke, then I'm afraid the one whose name will go down in history would be me."
Hearing this, Qin Shi trembled.
Fought with the Human Emperor?
Who was this old man?
Qin Shi swallowed, but the old man noticed his little action and smiled, "What? Now that you know how powerful I am, are you still disappointed that you haven't seen the Martial God?"
"Of course I'm disappointed. No matter what, you're no match for the Martial God. But knowing that you can fight with the Human Emperor is indeed a lot less."
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders honestly. Hearing this, the old man could not help but blow his beard and glare at him. He laughed and scolded, "You're an interesting kid. You don't know how many people in this world have to rack their brains and try their best to curry favor with me when they see me, but you're actually praising others in front of me."
"Clay Buddha?
Are you the Clay Buddha? "
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed. He was also very familiar with this name. In the history of the continent, wasn't the first person who dared to merge spiritual power and soul power the old man in front of him?
"Haha, I didn't expect you to recognize me. I'm really lucky to know that old man."
The Clay Buddha snorted pretentiously. It was obvious that he was still angry at Qin Shi, but he did not make things difficult for Qin Shi. He only said, "Forget it. Seeing that I'm related to your ancestor, I won't argue with you so much."
"So you're saying that you've been calling me all along?"
"Of course."
The Clay Buddha stroked his beard and smiled. He added, "To be precise, I'm not calling you. Instead, I'm calling you because you happen to have the opportunity to open my tomb."
However, after knowing the whole story, Qin Shi fell silent. A slight vigilance flashed in his black eyes. If the Martial God, the Human Emperor, or these tombs were calling him, he could more or less understand it. However, he did not remember that he had any relationship with the Clay Buddha in front of him.
Not to mention the so-called opportunity.
"Little guy, don't think about it. You don't only have the legacies of the Human Emperor and the Martial God. You also have my legacies."
"Your legacies?"
Qin Shi was slightly surprised. He did not remember when he had received this old fellow's kindness.
However, the Clay Buddha nodded disapprovingly. "Otherwise, who else in the world do you think can create a reincarnation martial art like the Xuantian Sacred Scripture?"
Qin Shi's eyes widened and he said in shock, "The Xuantian Sacred Scripture was created by you?"
"Of course!"
At the mention of the Xuantian Sacred Scripture, the Clay Buddha was very proud. "That is my most beloved creation. It's a little disgraceful in your hands."
Qin Shi scratched his head awkwardly. This was the first time he knew that the Xuantian Sacred Scripture was a reincarnation martial art. However, if he looked at it that way, it was indeed a waste of his talent.
Back then, he had actually used the reincarnation martial art to fight against some people at the King Spirit Realm or the Mysterious Spirit Realm.
"However, the Xuantian Sacred Scripture was created by me. However, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation in your sea of consciousness was not."
Suddenly, the Clay Buddha spoke. However, his words surprised Qin Shi. He had always thought that the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation and the Xuantian Sacred Scripture were one.
"What?
The Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation was not created by you? "
