Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin The look on Pu Du’s face became an unnatural one when he heard Jiang Chen’s words. The Jiang Luoshen that Jiang Chen was talking about was the princess of the Godly Illusion Clan. When he took Jiang Chen to find her the other day, he firmly made a promise that he would find the real tomb of the Godly Illusion Clan’s Ancestor, who had passed away. Since Jiang Luoshen trusted Monk Pu Du, she agreed to them, and promised to give them a generous reward afterwards. That was all right before the two of them set off on their journey here. With the help of the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation, Jiang Chen quickly found a way out and broke many restrictions and arrays, which made many experts of the Godly Illusion Clan look at him in a different light. They now thought that he was considerably capable. However, an accident happened just when they thought they would find the tomb. As if the sky and earth collapsed, the terrifying restrictions erupted in an instant. Many Godly Illusion Clan Masters didn’t even have time to escape, and their bodies and souls were destroyed on the spot. Even Jiang Luoshen, the princess of the Godly Illusion Clan, was left gravely injured and furious. Jiang Chen was rescued by the Monk Pu Du who took him away from the tomb. It was only after that that he realised the crowd had been looking at the wrong place. It was hard to distinguish between the real and fake tomb in this Godly Illusion Tomb, as they were mixed together. They happened to be unlucky enough to stumble upon the fake one. And in that fake tomb laid many dangers which were shockingly lethal. Initially, the princess of the Godly Illusion Clan planned to suppress and kill them to curb her anger. However, she agreed to give them another chance after she was calmed down by Pu Du’s pleas. It would be difficult for both Jiang Chen and Pu Du to stay alive if they messed this up again. After all, the one that held a knife to their necks was the Godly Illusion Clan, a force alone which made many other factions feel fear. “Kind Sir Jiang, whether we can survive this time depends on you. Please don’t let me down.” Pu Du was also worried at this moment. With his ability, he didn’t dare to fool and offend the Godly Illusion Clan. He wouldn’t have so willingly agreed if he had known it would be so troublesome. Jiang Chen nodded while he communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation in his mind. Just as Jiang Chen was talking with Pu Du, a burst of golden clouds rushed over in the sky. Many beings appeared. There was a few feet tall giant with arms covered with scales and dazzling beings with strong vitality and aura, who ressemble giant serpents that had feet under their bellies. Such a group of terrifying beings came with the golden clouds. And on top of the golden clouds, there were dozens of humanoid beings who were golden from head to toe. They were of all genders and ages. Their appearance was similar to that of humans. However, on top of having handsome features and incredible strength, there were a pair of golden wings on their backs. Four beautiful female beings with indifferent faces stood like golden armoured guards holding their mystical weapons. Behind them was a curtain of clouds where a delicate figure sat. Even though it was impossible to see their face clearly, the figure was oozing with inherent regality. One could easily tell that the figure was a peerless beauty from this vague outline alone. The golden cloud contained members of the Godly Illusion Clan, and the woman was their princess, Jiang Luoshen. “Greetings, Princess Luoshen,” Jiang Chen and Pudu immediately greeted her, their faces turning solemn. “What have you found?” Jiang Luoshen’s voice rang out from behind the clouds. It was calm, revealing her natural born aloofness. She then looked at the two of them with a look of indifference. “Nothing so far,” Pu Du smilingly replied. “But in my humble opinion, we might find other clues when we enter deeper into the tomb.” Jiang Chen, on the other hand, quietly stood there with his chin timidly lowered. When Pu Du went to visit Jiang Luoshen in the mansion, he was hurt by the cold snort of the maid beside him just because he looked up at Jiang Luoshen. That was why he could only hold it in even though he was angry about it. He was merely a pathfinding tool to Master Cultivators like her! “I hope you don’t let me down. You won’t have such good luck this time,” Jiang Luoshen said lightly, her eyes indifferent. Pu Du couldn’t help but smile wryly. Afterwards, the Godly Illusion Clan, Jiang Chen, and Pu Du set off again and continued to go deeper. Whoosh The sky was filled with sounds of divine rainbows as more cultivators and forces rushed over. Many saw the Godly Illusion Clan. Even though their expressions changed slightly, they quickly ignored them and continued to venture deeper. Many Immortal Sects and Immortal Families had also made their move. Sky Emperor Mountain, Buddhist Mountain, Mortal Palace, the Immortal Gu Family, the Immortal Wang Family, Skyward Schloss, the Ancient Ye Family, Primordial Lake and other weaker forces naturally wanted to get a share. They might not be able to get a bite of that steak, but they would be satisfied chewing off the leftover meat from the bones. Seeing this, everyone in the Godly Illusion Clan turned grim. There was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old with a pair of golden wings and fluttering blond hair above the golden clouds. He looked rebellious. However, his face was sour as well at this moment as he couldn’t help but snort. “This tomb belongs to the Godly Illusion Clan! But now, everyone wants to claim it!? They don’t take us seriously, do they!? Sister! we have to teach them a lesson!” The boy was Jiang Ming, and he was Jiang Luoshen’s younger brother. Of course, not a biological one. Jiang Ming was from the royal family of the Godly Illusion Clan, and was the heir of the emperor’s sibling. Thus, they were cousins and he had a good relationship with Jiang Luoshen. When Jiang Luoshen heard those words, her sleek eyebrows pulled together as her face became cold. “They dare touch the place where our Ancestor got buried. They will regret their actions.” “Princess, the forces involved this time shouldn’t be underestimated. We need to be cautious,” a blond old woman with an unfathomable cultivation level persuaded beside Jiang Luoshen. Jiang Luoshen nodded despite how her eyes remained cold. “I know, but still they need to be taught a lesson. They can’t blame us for that.” Right then, there was a brilliance that suddenly soared to the sky from the depths of the tomb. Colourful divine light accompanied by bursts of sounds that resounded in all directions shocked everyone. All they saw was the divine light shoot up and crack the sky open before brilliant rosy clouds erupted while the earth split open. An endless glow emerged then. Faintly, everyone saw a crystal-clear palace that shone with brilliance floating in the air as if it was built using rainbow celestial jades. A melodious sound could be heard surrounding the place. Suddenly, a huge commotion broke out. Everyone rushed over the source as if they had lost their minds. Not only that, they could also see all kinds of artifacts spewing out of the cracks. Swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, bells, cauldron, and pagodas; there were too many to clearly see. “This aura… It is unmistakably the place where our Ancestor laid to rest.” The Godly Illusion Clan members’ faces immediately changed when they sensed the fluctuations and aura there. They were rushing in the direction before they could even process what was going on. Seeing this, Jiang Chen frowned and communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation in his mind. He had a feeling the fluctuation was strange. Dangerous, even. But before he had time to say anything, he was grabbed by Pu Du beside him who turned into a divine rainbow and rushed forward, seemingly fearing even a one-second of delay. “This must be the tomb of the Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor. This is definitely it. We are rich!” Pu Du’s eyes were greedily glowing as he cheered. Unlike him, Jiang Chen was speechless. He didn’t feel like saying anything else. At this moment, many had already arrived near the cracked earth. With Devil Mountain hanging mid-air, Ancient Battle Chariots began to descend from the sky as rickshaws fell. Plenty of leaders, big figures who could be deemed as Masters appeared, their eyes burning as they stared at the scene. Behind them were many young prodigies. Booming between the cracks was the floating ancient crystal palace. It was a majestic sight to behold. Anyone could tell at a glance that the colourful divine light was extraordinary. Precious artifacts wrapped with various divine light gushed out of it like rain. Seeing this, many cultivators fought over them. They knew these artifacts were out of the ordinary. There were even Quasi-Sacred Grade Artifacts dripping with Quasi-Sacred pressure that immediately turned the cultivators fighting for them into Bloodmist, their bodies and souls wiped out. Even so, no one care at all. It was as if they had gone insane. There was a ray of divine light in the eyes of a Master-level figure, who was solemnly observing the situation. He then took a breath and exclaimed, “This is definitely the tomb of the Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor. He was buried here after his death. It suddenly cracked open because we have triggered the Great Shi here.” His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Sacred Lord Realm. Even though he wasn’t in the Sacred King Realm yet, he was only a short step away. Many were shocked when they heard his words. They might have guessed it, but it felt different having their guess confirmed. But even more were excited about it. After all, this was the tomb of the Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor! That man was someone who had surpassed the Sacred Emperor Realm! He might even reach the Nirvana Realm and become a True Daoist! It was hard to imagine how many burial treasures had been buried in this tomb. The artifacts scattered in front of them were the best evidence. An old man with a hunched waist soon appeared in the mountains. Holding a compass in his hand, he looked at the palace carefully, and said fearfully, “Even though that Ancestor has been buried, this place is extremely dangerous. There are many arrays hidden in the palace. Once touched, and even a Sacred Realm Master cannot escape.” There was a huge uproar among the crowd as soon as those words were uttered. Many young prodigies’ complexions changed, and they took a few steps back in fear. The opportunities here clearly no longer belonged to them. These Master-level figures often destroyed the world when they fought, and the aftermath alone was enough to kill them countless times. The Immortal Gu Family had also sent a lot of experts with high cultivation levels here. They were currently conversing in hushed voices amongst themselves, as they planned to share a piece of the pie. The younger generation of the Immortal Gu Family also had dazzling young prodigies rushing in, their aura and vitality astonishing, and their eyes looked confident and calm. Many experts of the different forces who noticed them, couldn’t help but show the unnatural and apprehensive expressions on their faces. Just as everyone stared at the crack in the ground with different emotions bubbling in them, golden clouds accompanied by a loud sound lighting rumbling moved in their direction, and members of the Godly Illusion Clan rushed over. A few of them glanced around coldly and spoke first, “This is the resting place of a Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor. We hope no one disturbs the peace here, otherwise don’t blame us for not holding back.” At the same time, an incomparable golden power erupted, and the monstrous aura shattered the sky and all the surroundings. Many cultivators with weaker cultivation levels couldn’t bear the pressure and their complexions turned pale. Some almost collapsed to the ground as they had to force their aura and vitality to resist. Jiang Luoshen, Jiang Ming and the others only looked around indifferently, as if they wanted to take everyone head-on. However, the experts of Sky Emperor Mountain, Buddhist Mountain, Mortal Palace, the Immortal Wang Family, Skyward Schloss, the Ancient Ye Family, Primordial Lake and other forces weren’t perturbed at all. They were still staring at the ancient palace in front of them as they waited for any unexpected development so that they could break in. Jiang Luoshen and the others all had an abnormally cold expression on their faces now. “How intimidating.” Jiang Chen, who came afterward, was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He had never seen so many experts who could easily crush him into pieces. But he saw Xiao Ruoyin here again. She was being protected by the experts of Skyward Schloss, and she didn’t notice him. Right then, a Godly Illusion Clan expert came forward and hissed, “This is the resting ground of a Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor. Are you planning to fight for it?” The terrifying coercion of the Sacred Lord Realm swept in all directions, suppressing many young prodigies, and rendering them pale and breathless. At the same time, something appeared in his hand. It was a bright, golden token with ancient divine glyphs carved on it. A vast and majestic aura then emerged from the token. Vaguely, many arrays around the tomb began to gather and interweave like stars in the sky. “This is what the Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor left behind. It can shift all the arrays here,” gasped an ashen and frightened Sect Master, who recognised the item. “Since ancient times, treasures and virtuous people have lived here. This place might be where a Godly Illusion Clan Ancestor had been laid to rest, but countless years have passed. Why have you never come, and are only here when the tomb has appeared here recently? In my humble opinion, these are things that have no owner. Everyone can take them if they are able to. If not, why did the Godly Illusion Clan ancestor choose to be laid to rest here?” an Elder from Sky Emperor Mountain chuckled. One could only predict what level his cultivation was at, with how ancient he was. A lot of people immediately agreed with his words. After all, this wasn’t the Godly Illusion Clan’s territory now. Furthermore, chances came to those who grabbed it. The Godly Illusion Clan would have to go through the other forces if they wanted to keep the treasures for themselves. Hearing that, Jiang Luoshen finally spoke up. “What nonsense! This place was left by an Ancestor of our clan. You broke in by force and disturbed the peace of our Ancestor in heaven. And now, you want to rob the relics left by him. Robbers!” Despite her frigid voice, it sounded pleasant, like ice falling on a jade plate. The group of young prodigies from the Immortal Academy led by the King with Six Crowns, Jun Yao, was also on the hilltop not far away at this moment. Someone immediately sneered when they heard those words. “How absurd. Could it be that the Godly Illusion Clan is planning to use its own power to fight against all other forces?” Yue Mingkong, the Phoenix Lady, Jin Chan, Jiang Chuchu and the others were all here, but they were not that close to the front. [The true tomb is within the tomb. The real tomb is not this one, but deep underground. That’s where the Ancestor’s Divinity Crystal is.] A thoughtful look flashed across Yue Mingkong’s eyes then, but she didn’t say anything. She planned to find the right time to enter the tomb. They were just the younger generation after all, and the appearance of the Godly Illusion Tomb had shocked and moved the older generation. Even Sect Masters of other forces came. Thus, Even with their identities, it was difficult to intervene at this moment, and they could only wait and see from a distance. Boom The frightening sound of an explosion could be heard. In the crack ahead, there was a sudden brilliance that shot to the sky. That crystal clear palace seemed to be touched. The Mist of Chaos that shrouded it gradually dissipated, and many arrays also disappeared as they began to fall to the ground. The faces of all the big figures in front changed immediately. They felt that the aura in the ancient palace had weakened a lot, and it was much safer than before. At that moment, the majority of the crowd turned into divine rainbows and rushed towards it without hesitation, not bothering to continue conversing with the Godly Illusion Clan. Seeing this, Jiang Luoshen became alarmed, and she was about to rush into it when Jiang Chen, who was below, felt something was off. He hurriedly warned, “Wait a minute, Princess Luoshen!” Jiang Luoshen swiftly let out a displeased frown upon hearing this. However, thinking of the mysterious methods Jiang Chen had shown before, she huffed coldly and stopped in her tracks. “I will not forgive you if my Ancestor’s relics are taken away.” She peered at him, earning a bitter laugh from the man. “Princess Luoshen, it is just that I suddenly felt something was wrong. You might get hurt if you rushed in rashly.” She only glanced at him without saying anything else. However, she had more confidence in his words now. Even though there were quite a few big shots who broke into the ancient palace, there were still many who chose to wait and see from outside. The Immortal Gu Family, the Immortal Wanf Family, the Ancient Ye Family, Sky Emperor Mountain and a few other forces were among the ones who hadn’t acted on impulse. Their eyes flickered with strange colours as they stared at the ancient palace. Boom There came a sudden, more intense sound from the crack in front. It was as if there was a dreadful river flowing in it. Immediately afterwards, a beam of light burst out from the crack when everyone watched on with astonished eyes. As colourful lights reflected the sky, many wonderful artifacts, Sacred Herb, and jade pots gushed out of it like a volcano. Everyone was frozen in place in that instant. However, they soon snapped back to reality and started to fight over the items. Even the many Elders, who were calm just now, had a greedy look in their eyes. They could tell how precious these dazzling items were. They couldn’t possibly let an opportunity like this slip by. The younger generation was even worse. Even the young prodigies of the Immortal Academy. They had begun to turn into divine rainbows as they fought over the items. Excited and anxious, the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation in Jiang Chen’s mind was constantly urging Jiang Chen to make a move as well. <Do you see that lavender ruined stele over there? That is definitely a great treasure! Go and get it before anyone else sees it!> When Jiang Chen heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately noticed the ruined stele the Artifact Spirit was talking about. Sure enough, because of the mediocre appearance, there was no one fighting for it at this moment. As it flew out of that crack, Jiang Chen hurriedly chased in the direction it was about to fall to. Fortunately, there were so many treasures in the sky that no one was looking at him. [Did he see something nice?] That unruly young man from the Godly Illusion Clan was also among the people vying for these treasures. He, however, had noticed Jiang Chen. Jiang Luoshen noticed how his gaze had turned malicious, and she asked in her indifferent voice, “Jiang Ming, what do you want to do to him?” Jiang Ming smiled bashfully, “Sister, that guy must have seen something good.” Jiang Luoshen only frowned upon hearing that. [What is this lavender ruined stele about?] Jiang Chen quietly asked the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation without stopping as he dashed after the item. [I don’t know, but something good must be hidden inside that stele. The appearance is just a disguise], the Artifact Spirit replied. Jiang Chen’s gaze only turned more fiery and determined as he stared at the stele when he heard those words. While he watched it fall from the sky and land in a certain direction, he quickly landed on the ground, but the excited expression on his face soon froze as he came to a halt. A pair of small hands as white as jade had reached over and picked up the lavender ruined stele. She was wearing a wide-sleeved flowy dress with soft locks. She was beautiful and breath-taking. Her facial features were clear and delicate without a flaw, and her skin was as white and smooth as the most perfect suet jade. With a cold look on her face, her whole body exuded celestial energy. It was as if she could ride the wind and turn into an Immortal at any time, to go to the legendary Moon Palace. “What are you trying to do?” The girl peered at him as she demanded an answer. Even though she had a pleasant voice, he could feel the coldness dripping from it. The red, big bird on her shoulder was also staring at Jiang Chen with an unfriendly gaze.
