Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 791: Legacy

Qinchuan had long noticed that in the center of this battlefield, whether it was these giant rocks or the white bones, when these strong warriors died, they all faced the bright red gate of the Divine Mansion.

Clearly, these strong warriors had all wanted to enter the Divine Mansion before they died.

However, Qinchuan always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

If these people had come for the heritage of the Divine Race, even if a ferocious battle had taken place, in the end, there would always be one person who came out on top, and that person would inherit the heritage of the Divine Race.

But now, the heritage of the Fire Element within the Divine Mansion was still there.

Of course, what's more important was, through the vast void, Qinchuan had already seen the gate of the distant Divine Mansion wide open.

This indicated that the Divine Mansion had already been entered by someone.

Who entered? Qinchuan looked around at the countless giant rocks and white bones; the answer was self-evident.

The Divine Mansion was already open, but the heritage remained, which could only mean that the intruder's target was not the heritage.

"Sigh!"

At this moment, the Divine Corpse took another big step and treaded toward that Divine Mansion.

Qinchuan and his companions didn't pause in their steps, closely following behind the Divine Corpse.

"Ah, someone got to this Divine Mansion before us!" Ji Huo'er also noticed the open gate of the Divine Mansion and frowned.

"Could it be that someone arrived here before us?" Ling Xian'er furrowed her brows.

"The Sea of Soul Burning blocked most cultivators, and even if someone had the strength to forcefully cross the sea, they couldn't match our speed. We are surely the first ones to arrive here," Qinchuan was convinced they were the first group of cultivators to reach this place.

"This gate is just left wide open? It can't be some kind of deceit?" Ji Huo'er held her chin in hand, seriously contemplating.

Seeing Ji Huo'er like this, Qinchuan teased her, "What makes you say that?"

"Big brother, think about it, we've passed through so many secret realms and Divine Tombs, which one doesn't have prohibitions everywhere, filled with danger?

Which one is like this Divine Mansion, with its gate wide open? Isn't that blatantly asking people of later generations to let their guard down and enter?"

Ji Huo'er nodded solemnly, "Mhm, it must be so. The Divine Mansion deliberately leaves the gate open, trying to lure us into letting down our guard and entering it.

Inside must surely be full of danger, and the moment we step in, we might trigger the prohibitions and be torn to pieces."

Speaking of this, Ji Huo'er unconsciously shrugged her shoulders, "That's terrifying, big brother, we have to be extra careful!"

Qinchuan patted Ji Huo'er's shoulder and laughed, "If even you think it's a trap, then that's enough to show that this place is safe!"

Saying so, Qinchuan stepped forward, walking into the gate first, leaving a still confused Ji Huo'er behind.

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?!"

Ling Xian'er passed by her, giggling, "Young Master Qin is calling you a little fool!"

"What do you mean, how am I a little fool?!" Ji Huo'er tilted her head, her lips pouting as she pondered by herself.

After a long while, she finally understood, Qinchuan's implication was: "If even you can see through this place as a trap, then everyone in the world can see it's a trap! The person who left behind the Divine Mansion wouldn't be foolish enough to leave a trap that everyone can see through."

"Ah ah ah, mean brother, you're insulting me again..."

This Divine Mansion contained only a single great hall.

Qinchuan and the others entered the great hall where, facing the doorway, stood a massive statue.

It was a carving of a deity, sculpted entirely from beautiful jade, with bare feet and short hair, eyes wide open and staring angrily, exuding a majestic presence without being angry. Although this statue was erected later and contained no trace of divine intent, everyone still couldn't help but shudder upon seeing it.

"This must be the ancient god Zui Ri!" Everyone had this thought simultaneously in their hearts.

Zui Ri's feet were apart as if running forward, one hand stretched ahead, seemingly trying to grasp something.

"There was originally something embedded there, but now it's gone!" Qinchuan said, his tone solemn.

The moment he saw the statue, he felt that something was missing.

Now, upon closer inspection, he finally noticed a cavity the size of a fist in front of the outstretched hand of the statue.

A thought struck Qinchuan's mind.

"It seems that the great battle that took place here in the past has been decided, and someone has already taken the treasure from this place!"

The Divine Corpse also gazed fixedly at the cavity in front of the statue's hand after entering the mansion, seemingly noticing the loss of the treasure within the cavity and emitting a series of grumbling noises.

It seemed extremely angry!

This further confirmed Qinchuan's thinking; these people did not come for the Divine Race's heritage, but for whatever was originally in that cavity.

"Something more precious than the Divine Race's heritage, the Divine Corpse, a fist-sized cavity."

Linking these elements together, a name swiftly emerged in Qinchuan's mind—Immortal Path Spirit Bead.

There's no need to mention that things more precious than the Divine Race's heritage are not numerous across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, but the Immortal Path Spirit Beads definitely counted as one.

Additionally, the body and head of this Divine Corpse had been found at the Spirit Martial Great Tomb and the Dao Palace Tomb respectively, both related to the Immortal Path Spirit Beads.

As for the fist-sized cavity, according to Qinchuan's estimation, it was just the right size to hold the Death and Life Spirit Pearls.

"Could it be that one of the nine Immortal Path Spirit Beads was originally embedded in this cavity?"

"That doesn't make sense. According to what the Jin Ling Saintess said, there are only nine of these Immortal Path Spirit Beads in total. These nine beads are scattered across nine ancient tombs, so why would there be an Immortal Path Spirit Bead in this Divine Tomb?"

Qinchuan's mind raced with thoughts, his thinking sharp, as he quickly came back to his senses, "No, that's not right. Although eight of the Immortal Path Spirit Beads have emerged from their respective eight secret realms, there is no evidence to suggest that the last Immortal Path Spirit Bead is definitely in the Supreme Sacred Tomb on the Northern Cold Continent!"

"Ever since the disappearance of the Immortal Spirit Clan was reported, countless powerful beings have entered the Supreme Sacred Tomb, but after so many years, there has been no news of the last spirit bead emerging.

If there were no spirit bead in the Supreme Sacred Tomb from the start, that would explain why it has not been found over all these years!"

"It must be so, the reason the Supreme Sacred Tomb has not had a spirit bead emerge for so long is simply because there isn't one inside!

However, Qinchuan quickly considered another issue.

From the Spirit Martial Great Tomb and Dao Palace Tomb to the Great Saint's Tomb, after the Immortal Path Spirit Beads were taken from these secret realms, they all collapsed and were destroyed.

This was enough to show that these realms were supported by the Immortal Path Spirit Beads.

But if there is no Immortal Path Spirit Bead inside the Supreme Sacred Tomb, why hasn't it collapsed?

And why does Bai Ruoxi keep falling into the small world of the Supreme Sacred Tomb in her dreams?

Many questions surfaced in Qinchuan's mind.

Qinchuan felt a faint premonition that this Supreme Sacred Tomb harbors secrets entirely different from the other eight collapsed secret realms.
