Chapter 1,203  Inside and Outside the Imperial Mausoleum

"Senior Yelu! Since you are here, why not have a drink tonight?"

"..."Faced with Xiao Mian's cordial invitation, Yelu Sha, whose identity was exposed by Xiao Mian, did not show up. He was silent for a long time and said calmly: "No need! I came here only on the orders of the young master to bring you a message: It is not wise to seek the skin of a tiger!"

"The one who knows me is Brother Moyin! The seven of you ancestors are holding a banquet, how can I, a mere Jindan cultivator, refuse? The three states of you are joining in the celebration, how can I, a mere Nanyue state, oppose? I am just going with the flow!" Shaking his head, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly with a lot of complaints, but then changed the subject: "By the way! Where is Brother Moyin? Why don't you see him?"

"Young master, there is something else important!"

"What? Brother Moyin is not in Tiandu City?"

At this moment, Xiao Mian, who had just mentioned it casually, suddenly perked up.

Calculating the time, it is already the hottest time of July.

It is only two months away from the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest on September 9th.

In the five states of the world, cultivators who are determined to make a name for themselves in the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest have set off and gathered towards Tiandu City.

Many cultivators from far away have settled in Tiandu City early.

Xiao Mian does not believe that Mo Yin will not intend to participate in such a grand event as the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest, otherwise, with Mo Yin's foundation, he could have successfully condensed his infant and become an ancestor.

In addition, the three states are moving. As the direct disciple of Wei Changtian, the Demon Emperor of Beiwei State, Mo Yin is in charge of the Heavenly Demon Order. How could he be idle and leave Tiandu without permission?

Unless Mo Yin has more important things to deal with than Tiandu City.

Or maybe the Demon Seal is trapped somewhere and can't get out...

"Hmph! I advise you to care more about yourself and worry less about others! Although the young master has not yet condensed his infant, he is the heir appointed by the Demon Emperor. Even an old Yuanying ancestor like me dare not easily guess his intentions, so you'd better save your worries!"

After saying this, Yelusha never showed up, turned into a whirlwind, and completely dissipated.

Xiao Mian's expression changed again and again. After entering the Four Treasures Hall, he took out two things.

The same is the Insight Halo!

The same is the North Dipper Siman Plate!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian held the Insight Halo in one hand and the North Dipper Siman Plate in the other, and activated the two at the same time.

Previously, Xiao Mian used these two magic weapons at the same time to try to contact Jing Chu and the other two trapped in the imperial mausoleum in Huaxia, but failed.

Now Xiao Mian used the same trick again, not to contact Jing Chu and others.

Xiao Mian's goal is - the Demon Seal!

Ever since the North-South Alliance with Mo Yin was signed, Xiao Mian had given him a little star in the hope that he could get in touch with Mo Yin when necessary.

If Mo Yin was also lost in the imperial mausoleum like Jing Chu and others, then even if Xiao Mian had the Insight Aura in his hand, he should not be able to contact him.

The problem is that Ye Lusha came to Xiao Mian to pass on a message to Mo Yin.

That means: at least in the past few days, Ye Lusha has contacted Mo Yin!

In this case, there must be something else strange about Mo Yin, either the Heavenly Demon Order is magical, or the magic sect's skills are weird.

To put it another way: why not give it a try?

After a long time, Xiao Mian's expression moved.

"Hu..., Brother Xiao! Long time no see, how are you? I didn't expect you also have the insight halo. If I had known this, Yin would have contacted you directly!"

"Insight halo? Brother Moyin also has the insight halo? Could it be..."

"Yes!"

"So that's it! Brother Moyin! I've been very lonely these days since you were away from Tiandu City! How is it? Is the Imperial Mausoleum fun?"

"..., Ha! Brother Xiao, you're joking! It's just an ancient withered tomb, how can it compare to the treasures of Tiandu City?"

Faced with Xiao Mian's test, Moyin admitted it frankly.

At this time, Moyin was indeed trapped in the Imperial Mausoleum in the Huaxia Realm.

Considering the few words Moyin had said before, it was obvious that in order to get in touch with the cultivators in the Imperial Mausoleum barrier, both parties must be equipped with the insight halo.

At this time, Xiao Mian was too lazy to play it safe.

"What's the situation in the Imperial Mausoleum?"

"Not good! If Brother Xiao can come to help from thousands of miles away, Yin will be grateful! Anyway, Yin is still wondering! Your three brothers are all here, but you are the only one missing!"

"Are they okay?"

"Okay? How can Yin say that?" After pondering for a moment, after whetting Xiao Mian's appetite, Mo Yin smiled bitterly: "They are not dead yet! But I don't think they are good! Let alone them, Yin can't protect himself now!"

"What? Is there anyone in the Imperial Mausoleum who can threaten Brother Mo Yin?"

"You don't understand! Since the shock of the Imperial Mausoleum, there have been at least 800 Jindan cultivators who have entered here, including quasi-Yuanying cultivators who have condensed their consciousness. To this day, I'm afraid that only one in ten can survive." Speaking of this Without waiting for Xiao Mian to exclaim, Mo Yin sighed: "Let me tell you this! If there is no external help, I am afraid that all the remaining survivors will die here!"

"So serious!?" Xiao Mian frowned and said: "Even if what Brother Mo Yin said is true, others may not be able to escape the bad luck. With the Heavenly Demon Order in hand, you should be able to escape from the Imperial Mausoleum at any time, right? It seems that Brother Mo Yin has not got what he wants! How about we make a deal?"

"Deal?"

"Brother Mo Yin, tell me what you want. If possible, I will ask my three brothers to help Brother Mo Yin. If there are not enough people, I can also ask Bi Hun Ji from the Netherworld Ghost Realm and Li Jingnian from the Vacuum Dao to help you. How about that?"

"Brother Xiao's connections are getting wider and wider! However, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to use the Heavenly Demon Order to take them out of the Imperial Mausoleum!"

"What?"

"The Heavenly Demon Order can indeed open the space-time channel, but the entire space-time channel is composed of true demonic energy. Even if ordinary cultivators do not die, they will become demons!"

"..."

"But Yin is very tempted by your proposal! How about this! If the five people you just mentioned can really help Yin get what he wants, Yin will owe you a favor. In the future, as long as you, Xiao Mian, ask, Yin will do his best to do it for you!"

"It seems that Brother Moyin has a big plan! But I can't contact those people now. I wonder if Brother Moyin has any workarounds?"

"What's the difficulty? I'll just meet them first and then contact you!"

"Okay!"

After speaking, the two sides cut off contact.

Looking at the humanoid puppet sitting in front of him, Xiao Mian was stunned.

The next moment, Xiao Mian took out the Mani Pearl.

"Little holy monk! It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb you to rest?"

"..., say what you want to say! Fart quickly!"

The dignified Buddhist monk cursed Xiao Mian.

"Amitabha! How can a Buddhist do this?" Having said that, Xiao Mian still quickly asked the doubts in his heart: "What is the origin of the Chinese Realm Imperial Mausoleum?"

"The Chinese Realm Imperial Mausoleum? Yes! If you count carefully, isn't it eight thousand years old? It's really a case of adding insult to injury! Amitabha!" After chanting a Buddhist name, the little monk said in a friendly manner: "The Chinese Realm Imperial Mausoleum is actually a sealed place..."

According to the little monk, an eternal giant is sealed in the Chinese Realm Imperial Mausoleum.

This person was born in the Death Demon Way, one of the six paths of the Demon Sect. He is the king of corpse refining who is proficient in the ghost way. He had a name eight thousand years ago - the Nine Netherworld Emperor!

The Nine Netherworld Emperor - Xia Jiuyou!

Eight thousand years ago, Xia Jiuyou had cultivated the Death Demon Dao to the pinnacle, and even made himself half-dead, half-human, half-ghost...

However, at that time, another great figure appeared, that is, Sword Demon Dugu!

Dugu Sword Demon wiped out the demon with one sword, and Xia Jiuyou was defeated with one move.

However, even with Dugu Sword Demon's ability, he could not completely kill Xia Jiuyou, and finally Xia Jiuyou escaped to the Chinese Realm to find a place to heal his wounds.

However, although Dugu Sword Demon could not kill Xia Jiuyou, the damage he caused to Xia Jiuyou exceeded Xia Jiuyou's own expectations.

This time, the healing did not seem to be healed for a long time.

So much so that in the later period, Dugu Sword Demon forced the spirit world back with his own strength, and after preserving the cultivation world, he fell under the God Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, and Xia Jiuyou was unable to come out of retreat.

After the catastrophe, the cultivation world was seriously injured.

In order to prevent Xia Jiuyou from making matters worse for the already broken cultivation world after he came out of retreat, the remaining Tianzuns in the cultivation world joined forces to seal Xia Jiuyou.

The place where the town was sealed was the imperial mausoleum!

The reason why the Zhenkong Dao was based in Huaxia was that it was meant to monitor the imperial mausoleum.

Besides, the imperial mausoleum was closed for eight thousand years.

"From what you see: could it be that Xia Jiuyou has recovered from his injury and is ready to come out of retreat?"

"Xia Jiuyou's ghost cultivation is even better than that of Xu Shizhu. As long as he didn't die that year, he would have recovered from his injury and come out of retreat one day!"

The "Xu Shizhu" mentioned by the little monk is the ghost saint Xu Wan!

In other words, if Xia Jiuyou came out of retreat, he would definitely be a Tianzun realm powerhouse!

However, after being sealed for eight thousand years by the cultivation world, no one knew what this Jiuyou Minghuang, who was originally from the Demon Sect, would do after coming out of retreat.

At least according to what the Demon Seal said: hundreds of Jindan cultivators who entered the imperial mausoleum were slaughtered!

"But don't worry! After thousands of years of continuous reinforcement by the Vacuum Dao, the imperial mausoleum barrier has changed from a simple barrier to an independent space-time! According to my estimation, the space-time flow rate inside and outside the imperial mausoleum is not equal, and it is difficult to open it. Even if Xia Jiuyou really recovers the strength of a Tianzun realm strongman, it is not so easy to get out of the trap. It can even be said that the stronger Xia Jiuyou is, the harder it is to get out of the trap!"

"In other words: If there is no external help, Xia Jiuyou can't get out of the trap?"

"You can say that!"

Hearing the little monk's words, Xiao Mian's heart did not feel relieved, but became heavier.

Just because the magic seal said so!

If there is no external help, not only Xia Jiuyou can't get out of the trap, but Jing Chu and others can't escape the imperial mausoleum barrier.

It seems that the development of things is a bit of a dilemma...

Before putting away the Mani beads, Xiao Mian asked another question.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mian walked out of the Four Treasures Hall, walked out of Tiandu City, and headed west, heading straight to the Dutian Peak in the western sky.

With Xiao Mian's speed, he flew for a whole day and finally arrived at the foot of Dutian Peak.

This shows how high Dutian Peak is.

Before Xiao Mian could sigh for a moment, a light and sound broke through the air.

The light and sound broke, revealing the figure of Guangyin Tiannu.

"Tiannu, how are you? Do you know why Xiao is here this time?"

"Guangyin knows a little about why Xiao Daoyou is here." Nodding, Guangyin Tiannu took out an ancient bell in front of Xiao Mian - Guangyin Bell!

Extending her right hand, holding the ancient bell, Guangyin Tiannu opened her red lips and chanted silently.

The spiritual light on the Guangyin Bell was shining, but the heavenly sound from Guangyin Tiannu's mouth was still silent.

The light and sound intertwined, changing unpredictably.

Suddenly, Guangyin Tiannu's eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened.

Then I saw the two pupils of the Goddess of Light and Sound, one was as black as ink, and the other was as white as snow.

The black and white blended together, converging into a gray spiritual light, hitting the Light and Sound Bell.

The Light and Sound Bell, which was originally rotating slowly, suddenly stopped, and a point appeared on the surface of the ancient bell, which was exactly where the spiritual light hit.

"Huh! That senior is here, Xiao Daoyou, go find him!"

"..., thank you for the help of the Goddess of Light and Sound! If there is a chance in the future, Xiao will definitely repay the help of the Goddess of Light and Sound today!"

After clasping his fists and saluting, Xiao Mian turned around and left Dutian Peak.

Speaking of the Goddess of Light and Sound, she had closed her eyes again.

At this time, there were two more female cultivators beside the Goddess of Light and Sound.

These two people were both beautiful, but they had their own style. One of them closed her eyes like the Goddess of Light and Sound, but the other did not do so.

What's even more strange is that these two people are obviously quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators, but they respect the Goddess of Light and Sound.

"Sister! What is the origin of this boy? He can make you break the precepts and use the 'Eye of Time and Eye of Space'. You have kept the precepts for ten years!"

"That's right! Sister, the longer you keep the precepts, the greater the power you can exert. You swore to keep the precepts for the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition. Now that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition is approaching, why do you break the precepts for such an unknown person?"

"Nobody? How could a mere unknown person make the little holy monk Jiaye waste his willpower and waste the favor owed to him by Guangyin Valley?" After Guangyin Tiannu said this, the two female cultivators dared not say anything more, but heard Guangyin Tiannu continue to say: "Fenxian! Linglong! Remember: this boy is definitely extraordinary! If you can get a favor from him today, let alone keeping the precepts for ten years, even a hundred years, it is considered a profit!"

After saying this, Guangyin Tiannu turned into light and sound and disappeared.

Besides, Xiao Mian at this time had already used the teleportation array to rush back to Tiandu City.

In the Qiankun Tower, following the instructions of the Goddess of Light and Sound, Xiao Mian finally met the person he was looking for - the Supreme Elder of the Zhenkong Dao - Kongkong'er!
