Chapter 760: Chapter 324: The Immortal Vine Reappears

"Sect Leader, we should hurry and get out too!"

Chu Lingguang said to the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect.

"Only people from our Profound Celestial Sect are left. This is the perfect time for us to seize the Immortal Fate," said Niu Chunming, the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect.

"Sect Leader, you absolutely mustn’t."

Chu Lingguang was alarmed. To convince the other party to give up, he took the initiative and said, "The only reason Senior Sister Li and I were able to escape unscathed last time was thanks to the protection of the Undead Guardians inside the tomb. I was only able to enter this time because I promised them I would help eliminate the disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect and prevent anyone else from further damaging the Immortal King’s Tomb.

You should think about the Rune Dharma Seals on the ground. Why did they appear out of nowhere and only restrict the Spiritual Power of the Cyan Cloud Sect cultivators?"

Chu Lingguang knew that a man’s ambition is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

The Immortal Fate within the Immortal King’s Tomb was too tempting.

It could easily make people take desperate risks.

If he didn’t spell out the stakes and make Niu Chunming and the other masters of the Profound Celestial Sect see the danger, convincing them to leave wouldn’t be so easy.

"Undead Guardians!"

"You can communicate with them?"

Niu Chunming was completely caught off guard.

The other Elders from the Profound Celestial Sect also stared at Chu Lingguang in disbelief.

"Sect Leader, the Immortal King’s Tomb is too bizarre. We should do as Lin Guang says and leave at once!" Yang Rong urged.

"Alright, let’s get out of here first before discussing anything else."

Niu Chunming glanced at the black palace and ultimately chose to accept Chu Lingguang’s suggestion.

Chu Lingguang inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. If Niu Chunming and the others had insisted on continuing to explore the Immortal King’s Tomb for opportunities, there would have been nothing more he could say.

Fortunately, they hadn’t been hopelessly stubborn.

However, as the group walked out of the plaza and entered the black tunnel, Niu Chunming stopped in his tracks again.

"Sect Leader, an opportunity like this won’t come again."

One of the Elders spoke up.

"This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity," another female Elder chimed in.

"We went through so much trouble to open the black palace. That ghost inside has already shown weakness. This is the perfect chance for us to join forces, eliminate it, and open that chest behind it," said an injured Elder.

A sharp glint appeared in Niu Chunming’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but take two steps toward the plaza.

"Sect Leader, don’t be reckless," Chu Lingguang hurriedly advised.

"How bold! What is your status? How dare you lecture the Sect Leader," the ambitious, injured Elder snapped.

"I just don’t want the Profound Celestial Sect to suffer a major loss," Chu Lingguang explained.

"Are you cursing us all to die?" the man retorted, even more enraged.

"My disciple doesn’t want you to go to your deaths. It’s not like you didn’t see what just happened. All those people together couldn’t stand against the Nascent Soul Ghosts. With just the few of us left, even if we made it into the black palace, it would still be a dead end," Yang Rong said bluntly.

Niu Chunming closed his eyes.

As the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect, he was experienced and knowledgeable. He was, of course, aware of the danger before him. But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. If he could obtain the Immortal Fate within the black palace, open that chest, and acquire the treasures inside, he might be able to become a Nascent Soul Strong Person. He might even cause his Divine Soul to undergo a metamorphosis later, becoming a Divinity Transformation Strong Person.

It had been many years since a Nascent Soul Strong Person had appeared in the Great Qin.

The various major sects, and even some reclusive Great Powers, had all died during the last exploration of the Immortal King’s Tomb. Some had even inexplicably become Guardians here.

If the Profound Celestial Sect could produce a Nascent Soul Strong Person, they could not only rule over the entire Great Qin but also monopolize all the opportunities within the Immortal King’s Tomb.

A being who dared to call himself an Immortal King.

Even if he hadn’t truly become an immortal, he was close.

The burial goods in his tomb, the things he left behind—that was Immortal Fate!

"Sect Leader, this must be the closest we’ve ever been to the Immortal Fate," the injured Elder said excitedly.

A golden light erupted from Niu Chunming’s eyes.

"If the Sect Leader is still hesitating, then let me be the one to scout the path for you!"

The injured Elder, sensing that Niu Chunming’s desire was about to overcome his reason, unexpectedly shot across the plaza, flying toward the distant black palace.

"Elder Qi!"

The others cried out.

Without a single look back, Elder Qi quickly entered the cluster of palaces and vanished from their sight.

The Immortal King’s Tomb contained many powerful Restriction Arrays. Although the power of these Arrays had greatly diminished, they could still affect the use of one’s Spiritual Power.

They were not something an ordinary person could handle.

Everyone within the Immortal King’s Tomb felt their Spiritual Power being suppressed, and Chu Lingguang was no exception.

He could even hear the roars of the undead.

Sensing that things were taking a bad turn, he wanted to issue another warning.

But then Niu Chunming turned to look at him, his eyes filled with a bloody light. In Niu Chunming’s pupils, Chu Lingguang saw two utterly crazed figures reflected.

That was human desire.

Even Core Formation or Nascent Soul Cultivators, when it came down to it, were still human. And humans have desires, especially when faced with the cultivation resources within the Immortal King’s Tomb.

Niu Chunming and the others had exhausted all means and paid all sorts of prices to finally enter the Immortal King’s Tomb. How could they possibly be expected to leave empty-handed now?

They had been able to follow Chu Lingguang out just now because they still possessed a shred of reason, with the corpses of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Core Formation cultivators lying right before their eyes.

But now, having crossed the plaza and entered the tunnel, the bloody scene was gone. The only thing before their eyes now were the two words: Immortal Fate.

Niu Chunming and the others finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Exploring the Immortal King’s Tomb for its Immortal Fate is the unfulfilled wish of our sect’s generations of strong cultivators. Since we have entered the Immortal King’s Tomb, if we return empty-handed, how will we face our ancestors? How will we answer to the predecessors who died for this cause?"
