Chapter 571.2: Empress Timelights Corpse (1/2)

“Senior brother Lu!” The Deaf Prince stared at him. “You’re really here!”

“Are you guys alright?” Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them and quickly dispelled his Dragonshift Method. His cultivation was currently too low to sustain a method of this magnitude for long. Controlling an earthen vein was doable, but a dragon vein was another story altogether.

“Senior brother Lu, why are you here?” Eyes and mouth wide open, something occurred to the Deaf Prince and he jumped up with alarm. “Senior brother Lu, you need to hurry and leave! This place is too dangerous!”

“I know it’s dangerous.” Lu Yun swallowed a pill to restore his energy. “Where are Bai Qi, Feng Ruyu, and Lin Yan?”

“They… were eaten by a monster!” Fear flashed in Beicang Qiong’s eyes. “We need to find the seventh World Chest so we can save them.”

“The seventh World Chest?” Lu Yun blinked.

“Right!” Relatively calmer in comparison, Jing Dichen breathed in deeply. “There’s a total of seven World Chests in this underground palace, all of which can withstand the crystal mountains here. The last time we came here, we took six of them.

“At first, we came back to get the seventh World Chest and bring back a crystal mountain for you, senior brother Lu...” Her voice dwindled in volume with embarrassment. She’d already guessed that Lu Yun had come to save them.

“We didn’t expect the mountain to suddenly come to life and swallow them. If not for your Tribulation Surrogate Pill, the three of them would be dead by now!” She couldn’t hide the dread in her eyes.

“The crystal mountain came to life and turned into a monster? How long ago was that?” Lu Yun frowned.

“Not long ago!” Beicang Qiong hurriedly answered. “We saw it with our own eyes—the three of them were swallowed whole!”

“We need to find the seventh World Chest as soon as possible to store the crystal mountain inside. That’s the only way to free them!” In their distress, Beicang Qiong and Jing Dichen forgot to transmit a copy of their words, so the Deaf Prince could only stare blankly at their moving lips, wholly unknowing of what they’d said.

“World Chests won’t do us any good. Take me there.” Lu Yun let out a long sigh while transmitting his voice.

“We got lost…” The Deaf Prince pulled a long face. “It’s all Beicang Qiong’s fault! He was the one leading the way!”

The culprit turned broodingly glum, while Jing Dichen didn’t say a word.

“Never mind, let me do it.” Lu Yun flipped over his hand and took out the feng shui compass again. “A dragon sleeps in mountains coiled, those deathly cliffs with mystery roiled!”

Hum!

Golden light danced on the compass as the small world emerged once more, depicting the layout of the entire palace.

“This is actually an underground palace? Wha…” Lu Yun stared blankly at the so-called underground palace he was currently in. “We’re... outside the celestial master tomb already? But the tomb’s energy still permeates this place...”

The Deaf Prince and the other two also gawked at the sight. What appeared in front of them was an enormous skeleton, impossible to make out in height or size. From what Lu Yun could see, the skull alone was bigger than all of Nephite Major. If this skeleton were to set foot in the world of immortals, the world would probably cave in and break under its weight!

The skeleton sat cross-legged in the emptiness, its hands cradling a small mountain made of immortal crystal. To be more precise, the mountain was small in comparison to the skeleton as a whole, but it was still about as big as the skull.

Currently, Lu Yun’s group was located in the interior of the mountain’s peak.

“What the heck is that?!” His eyes round as saucers, the Deaf Prince looked on blankly. “A skeleton bigger than the world of immortals itself… Is it really the remains of a living creature?”
