Wei Huo had to cultivate the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill and take the Ruyi Pagoda from the tower. He also had to collect Dragon Qi from the Ruyi Pagoda. Apart from that, he had asked the Nagas to send people to mine bronze ores. He also had to refine the bronze cauldron into his own magical equipment and thoroughly understand the Human-Slaughtering Array. He could also understand theories and practice and control them flexibly.
He had too many things to do and did not have time to stay on the mountain.
Besides, the Great Ancestor Palace of the Naga’s Great Ancestor was an excellent cultivation ground. The hall had been set up by a master of the Naga Race who knew about Fengshui. It would be easier to cultivate there.
During his second month in that place, Wei Huo finished his tower charge. He was still stuck at Level 59. He had only obtained one level bead. As expected, the reward decreased greatly the second time.
He challenged Level 60 this time, but the five late-stage Legendary-level creatures were too powerful. The five Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Elementals formed a Five-Element Array. Wei Huo was no match for them. He could only leave and increase his strength before challenging them.
However, during the second month, the Naga’s mining team dug out something unusual. A bronze lotus hidden deep under the ground was knocked out by a Naga’s pickaxe. The bronze lotus contained inner Qi and was so hard that it directly shattered the pickaxe.
This was only the beginning. Soon, the Naga dug out a bronze gate. There were lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus branches carved on the gate. The lotus flowers were lifelike and lush.
The bronze gate was filled with inner Qi. The Naga could not open it easily, so they came to ask Wei Huo about it.
Before Wei Huo could say anything, rumors started spreading among the Naga. “This is the grave of an Immortal!”
Wei Huo found Master Fengshui. Master Fengshui was already very old. He had lost his sight, so he was a blind old man. It was said that he had been searching for a dragon for too long and had been punished for it.
“Are we talking about a huge tomb?” Wei Huo asked.
The blind old man was very certain. “Based on what I can tell… Based on what Heaven can tell, this is definitely a huge tomb. It’s an Immortal Tomb!”
Wei Huo was speechless.
Aren’t you blind?
Wei Huo asked, “An Immortal Tomb? What kind of Immortal is buried here?”
The blind old man carefully touched the tomb’s door and said, “According to the carvings on the tomb’s door, there are many lotus flowers. It’s obvious that this is He Xiangu’s tomb—the Lotus Immortal, of course, could be the Lotus Leaf Immortal or the Lotus Root Immortal.”
A miner asked, “Maybe the tomb owner liked lotus flowers?”
The blind old man snorted. “What do you know? This is an Immortal Tomb. It’s used to bury Immortals. If someone is buried here, their descendants will definitely die a horrible death!”
The blind old man treated Wei Huo with respect. “Your Majesty! Please open the gate of the tomb. The Immortal Tomb will not appear in the world unless a super expert is around to suppress the luck, disrupt the magnetic field, and expose the Immortal Tomb. Otherwise, even if the gate of the Immortal Tomb is placed in front of ordinary people, they will subconsciously ignore it.”
The Naga treated Wei Huo as a king and a servant. They had been subdued by Wei Huo’s power and had willingly become his slaves.
Wei Huo arrived in front of the bronze gate. The gate contained a domain power. Normal people would not be able to open it. Only Legendary-level Wei Huo could wipe away the domain power. It would take at least two months. Of course, ten days would be enough if he only destroyed the gate. However, the blind old man did not suggest that.
