Chapter 2039 – Creating A Burial Mound Out Of A Tomb

Su Muzhou choked back a scream to see his dao partner hurtle backward after being kicked in the face. He threw himself at his beloved’s attacker.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme, however, was the cream of the crop when it came to empyrean supremes. Her combat arts were unpredictable and constantly changing—ordinary empyrean supremes were no match for her at all.

To her, Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao were just initial empyrean supremes or even half step empyrean supremes. They possessed the corresponding strength and cultivation level, but their combat arts and dao methods were too rough. Cavemen wielding wooden sticks could do nothing when faced with modern weapons.

Even Lu Yun had wanted to take on this world’s peak grand supremes when he was just a high supreme.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme refrained from killing them as she didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself. At the same time, she displayed the full strength of a powerful empyrean supreme to warn off anyone who wanted to harass them.

“No wonder Yun Tian escaped from an eye of great dao… he has a powerful bodyguard like you by his side.” Su Muzhou was similarly sent packing and glared viciously at the maid.

He and Suiyue Jinghao still thought of Lu Yun as their countryman because there were stories that the Dragonquake Scripture was the most paramount secret knowledge of the Three Thousand. Only inhabitants of this world could practice it. If outsiders tried to lay hands on it, they were met with doom and disaster.

Even with that, unparalleled fortune was still necessary for local mortals and cultivators of the Three Thousand to practice the Dragonquake Scripture. And with it close at hand, both Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao thought that their fortuitous opportunity had arrived.

Outsiders didn’t think one way or another about the Dragonquake Scripture. It’d been proven time and time again that if any of them dared practice the method, not only would they be struck with misfortune, but so would their kin and companions.

It was a cursed record and the only dao method among the Three Thousand that exceeded the capabilities of those outside. Thus, Lu Yun’s subconscious usage of it unequivocally confirmed his identity as Yun Tian.

It’d been a shocking matter that the Dragonquake Scripture had made its way to the chief worlds. The chaos dragons within the second realm of the World of Immortals had cultivated it and incorporated it into their bloodline. They used it to manifest the chaos dragon shape, and they were extinct for their efforts.

The one who practiced the Dragonquake Scripture in the original Hongmeng ended up causing the destruction of his home and hundreds of millions of deaths. And if Fuxi hadn’t met Lu Yun, his soul and spirit would’ve long been scattered on the wind. Reincarnation would not be a possibility.

As for Lu Yun himself, he’d encountered more than his fair share of trial and hardship. If it wasn’t for the Tome of Life and Death, his ending would be equally unfortunate.

……

It wasn’t just Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao who stared raptly at Lu Yun, the other cultivators of the Three Thousand agitated with motion as well. But when they saw the Disordered Empyrean Supreme beat back the first two, they quieted down and shrank in on themselves.

Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao represented the will of the Cardinal Sacred Palace. Their strength was undoubted as they were absolute heavyweights among the world’s empyrean supremes. At the same time, no one suspected the Disordered Empyrean Supreme for being more than she was.

She’d smartly hidden her actions earlier. Although she’d utilized shamanic combat arts, Lu Yun’s Shapeshifting Talisman had masked the ripples and made it appear that she’d smacked the two men back.

The two smacks had been wholly without technique, just pure expressions of unquestionable strength.

“Which empyrean supreme of Divine Yun Valley might you be?” Su Muzhou asked in a shaking voice.

“Pfft,” she scoffed and didn’t answer as she didn’t know anyone from that locale. Ling Qu was just an ordinary maid in the valley, who would know of her? In fact, Yun Tian might be an unknown as well, if it wasn’t for the fact that Divine Yun Valley had fallen because of him.

With how the situation unfolded, Lu Yun no longer needed to worry that anyone would doubt his identity. There’d long been rumors that the valley had come into possession of a secret method that was very likely the Dragonquake Scripture. It was one of the reasons why Divine Yun Valley had been destroyed.

At the same time, Lu Yun didn’t care about what’d just happened. The Dragonspike formation was complete and the now enormous mountain rose viciously from its center.

“The Dragonquake Scripture… so you aren’t the one who destroyed Cardinal Sacred City,” an aged voice abruptly rang out.

Lu Yun followed it to see an elder in white robes sitting in the void. He was wizened and haggard, but his eyes burned so bright that it was as if they were two balls of flame.

Plainly, the eyes were the real entity. They’d taken possession of the elder’s body.

“But I’m curious who you are.” Lu Yun frowned at the elder. “The demons hail the tomb owner as their ancestor, so while they might explore it to search for their ancestor’s heritage, they would never be so blasphemous as to turn it into a burial mound.

“We cultivators of the Three Thousand are even less likely to do so. That will only suck this locality dry of qi and fortune, releasing endless resentment in its wake that will destroy the area.

“So, tell us, who are you?” Lu Yun asked in ringing tones and with the self assurance of a local.

The crowd shuddered collectively when they heard his words. Turn a tomb into a burial mound? That was… too…

Even Su Muzhou and Suiyue Jinghao didn’t know what to say.

No one knew how big the tomb was, but since this place was off limits to sacred supremes, any who approached would die. If it was turned into a burial mound, Ancestor was such a noble being that his resentment would enlarge the burial mound until it overran all of sanctuary!

Denizens of the Three Thousand would never do this and neither would the demons undertake this action. They wanted to occupy sanctuary, not destroy it.

So who was the elder and how was he going to turn a tomb into a burial mound?

The answer to the second question was readily apparent to Lu Yun. It was a reversion technique.

Tombs nurtured zombies and burial mounds bred ghosts!

There was already a ghost in Ancestor’s tomb. If another large-scale layout to breed ghosts was set up outside of it, it could revert the tomb into a burial mound if it melded with the tomb. The elder had originally intended to borrow Lu Yun’s hand to complete the last step, but the young man decided to break the layout instead with the Dragonspike Litany.

Not only did this method dismantle feng shui and sever fortune, it could also break formations and layouts. However, it did so in a way that completely crushed everything it targeted. There was no hope of picking up the pieces. It was essentially an extinction method.

At the same time, there was no need for Lu Yun to show mercy since the other wished to turn Ancestor’s tomb into a burial mound.
