Chapter Thirty-Four: Stealing the Dragon Vein

  A long whistle suddenly rose from the grave, directly transmitting from inside to outside. Yan Gongzi, who had just entered the tomb, was shocked. The sound was dull and seemed to be at the very bottom of the tomb.

  What a pity! I was only thinking of dealing with Bai Jian, but someone took advantage of the situation and snuck in, seizing the dragon vein. If that happens, it will be too late to regret. For this dragon vein, I have been planning for over a hundred years, waiting for the tomb to open by itself. Missing this opportunity, there won't be another chance!

  Yan Gongzi's expression turned fierce, and he took out a scarlet gold-colored elixir and swallowed it. As soon as the scarlet gold-colored elixir entered his abdomen, it suddenly emitted a thunderous sound and transformed into strands of immortal energy.

  Refining essence into gas uses the innate primordial energy.

  Those who refine their Qi and transform their spirit are already endowed with innate true primordial energy within their body.

  The cultivator of Lian Shen Fan Xu, forms a golden elixir. Generally, what is driven is the Dan Yuan's energy, also known as Hunyuan's energy.

  Arrived at the realm of virtual harmony with the Tao, achieved the immortal position, and the body has already become an immortal element.

  This Yan Gongzi was at the top of the Heavenly Court, only a low-level immortal, barely meeting the standards of the early stages of the Dao, but already able to use the power of Xianyuan. After arriving in the Lower Realm, he was sealed by the Heavenly Emperor in the Mud Ball Palace, his strength plummeting to the realm of Lian Shen Fan Xu, and Xianyuan could no longer be mobilized.

  This scarlet elixir triggered a surge in Xian Yuan, causing Yan Gongzi's strength to skyrocket instantly, returning to the initial stage of still virtual harmony.

  The dragon pulse in Qin Wang's tomb can no longer thoroughly suppress his power. The jade ruler in Yan Gongzi's hand emitted a moistening light, instantly repairing the damage.

  He paused for a moment and made a rough judgment. The power in Qin Wangling now could at most suppress himself to the initial stage of Lian Shen Fan Xu.

  Jindan realm, dealing with the grave bandits is not a problem. Yan Gongzi's body flew up in mid-air, rapidly sweeping through the spacious corridor. He could feel the breath of the dragon pulse, which was already becoming active at the deepest part of the mausoleum.

  The Great Jin Dynasty took over the dragon vein of the Former Qin, but the dragon vein was spiritual and usually retracted, only revealing a little bit on the outside. Over several thousand years, the dragon vein did not completely disappear. This was also the desired result of the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

  It is precisely this faint dragon pulse that allows the Jin Emperor's Nine Cauldrons to suppress the Refining Qi Practitioners, with an effect comparable to the Qin Emperor's Golden Man. If it is used up in one go, the Jin Dynasty's national destiny will also be over.

  After passing through six grand halls, Yan Gongzi saw a female cultivator rushing towards him with a somewhat familiar face. After a moment's recollection, he remembered that this was the female cultivator from Mount Longhu, whom he had wanted to take as his concubine.

  Yan Gongzi's heart suddenly felt hot, and at that time, he wanted to take Yu Zhen Princess as his concubine, not without reason. This Yu Zhen Princess's body was a top-quality stove.

  The way of cultivation is not uncommon in the world, but it's hard to even form a Golden Elixir, let alone ask for a divine position. Yan Gongzi's body was remade by the Xian Pool, so he didn't have these worries, and when he saw Yu Zhen Princess, he became infatuated with her.

  Princess Yu Zhen saw Yan Gongzi face to face and exclaimed, fleeing towards the side corridor.

  Yan Gongzi burst out laughing and didn't chase after her, instead continuing to venture deeper into the tomb. Compared to Hei Yu Zhen Gongzhu, the dragon pulse below was far more important. Yan Gongzi was arrogant and stubborn, but his brain hadn't completely rotted away, so he knew what was most crucial.

  This beautiful maiden will eventually be mine.

  Another woman rushed past, and Yan Gongzi's face twitched. The woman was looking down, her appearance unclear, and her figure seemed short and small, but she was moving at an incredible speed, making it impossible for him to catch up.

  Could it be that Yuzhenzi had obtained some treasure?

  Yan Gongzi could only suppress the curiosity in his heart, anyway, the most precious thing inside this mausoleum was that dragon vein. Other things, he didn't need to take them to heart.

  Yan Gongzi delayed for no more than a few breaths before grabbing his jade ruler and continuing downward.

  Bai Qi stood beside the coffin, having already taken down over a hundred of the mysterious armored warriors. These warriors had just begun to awaken and their speed hadn't reached its peak yet. Facing the inverted scale spear, they were practically defenseless. Bai Qi also knew that his inverted scale spear was too powerful in close combat, but against high-level cultivators, being unable to get close was futile.

  Bai Qi feared that these Xuan Jia Wei had not died thoroughly, so he simply collected all the bronze long ge of Xuan Jia Wei and personally held the blood-stained dagger to cut off their heads one by one. The old zombie was still alive but its limbs were severed and it wriggled on the ground. Bai Qi thought that Princess Yu Zhen had abandoned him, which meant she didn't care about the royal family or his father's relationship anymore. Since they had already fallen out, keeping this zombie would be useless.

  He decisively stabbed a gun into the old zombie's skull, poking a hole in the old zombie's head.

  He killed the old zombie, and the reverse scale spear was already tired of Bai Qi's hesitation, so it simply left Bai Qi's hand and flew into the air, stabbing into Qin Er Shi's coffin.

  This spear directly pierced the deepest coffin, all array prohibitions had no effect on this Inverse Scale Spear. Inside the coffin, a golden undead creature wearing dragon robes, with eyes wide open, saw the Inverse Scale Spear pierce in and was helpless, could only stare blankly as the spear tip entered its abdomen, sucking away a ball of dragon-shaped yuanqi.

  That dragon-shaped yuanqi is the essence of the dragon's pulse, and it has been nourished by the corpse of Qin Ershi for ten thousand years. The essence of the dragon's pulse is about to take shape, and as soon as it merges with Ershi's corpse, Ershi will awaken and transform into a zombie dragon, and there will be no existence in the world that can bind it.

  The Inverse Scale Spear effortlessly absorbed the essence of the Dragon Vein, and with a whooshing sound, it flew back into Bai Qi's hand. Bai Qi was taken aback, and then the Inverse Scale Spear slowly disappeared from his hand, entering Bai Qi's mystical space.

  Bai Qi felt that the Inverse Scale Spear had completely retracted, with all the scales on the spear shaft withdrawn, and not even a hint of its aura was willing to leak out.

  He thought for a moment, then bent down and gathered up all the messy corpses, weapons, and broken fragments of the talismans from the ground before leaving from the other side of the great hall.

  Bai Qi made a decisive decision, chose to retreat and did not open the coffin to see if there were any other treasures inside. This decisiveness saved his life. Less than three minutes after he left, Yan Gongzi's figure appeared outside the main hall.

  He cautiously entered the grand hall, saw the coffin placed in the middle, and was overjoyed. When the Inverse Scale Spear pierced the coffin, it chose the location where the Second's head was placed, which was on the opposite side, and the outermost metal layer had hollow flower patterns, so the spear's piercing did not leave any marks.

  Zhuang Gongzi saw that the coffin was intact and undamaged, so he summoned a flying sword about a foot long and struck it down with force. He didn't have any good way to deal with Qin Huang's coffin either. Inside the coffin, various formations were densely arranged, and he could only rely on brute force to destroy them.

  Yan Gongzi slowly destroyed Qin Er Shi's coffin, while Bai Qi followed the map in his memory and circled to the edge of the mausoleum. He was very puzzled that his wet nurse had not appeared, but what made him even more worried was that Xiao Yu had chased out, also without a trace. The Inverse Scale Spear inside his body fell silent, no matter how Bai Qi tried to probe, there was no reaction.

  He had to concentrate and observe the outside situation, but saw that in the vast white fog, a large number of demon soldiers and generals were surrounding and killing the Great Jin's Youlin. The white fog blocked his line of sight, and Bai Qi couldn't find any trace of his father, alone and somewhat nervous.

  His unease didn't last long, as a group of demonic soldiers discovered his presence and surrounded him. These demonic soldiers had the heads of beasts and human bodies, were over 10 feet tall, and held steel spears. Each one had its mouth open, dripping with saliva, emitting foul-smelling breath, and stared greedily at Bai Qi. Bai Qi's hair stood on end as he was stared at, and he raised his spear to strike.

  He felt that the innate yuanqi in his body had not been consumed, but instead became more concentrated, and the strength on his body was also an inexhaustible feeling. The strength of those demon soldiers was great, but it couldn't compare to the zombies in the mausoleum. Baqi took the initiative to charge towards a team of feathered forest soldiers, dispersing the surrounding demon soldiers who were besieging them, and shouted: "I am Baqi, who among you is the leader!"

  This team of Yu Lin fought desperately, already hopeless, heard the two words "Bai Qi", someone stood up, raised a long knife and said: "Young Master, I am the leader!"

  The great Jin's Yu Lin, the team leader who can command less than thirty people, this team of Yu Lin has more than a hundred, but high-ranking military officers were all killed in battle, leaving only this one team leader.

  Bai Qi swung his long spear backwards with great force, sending two nearby demon soldiers flying. "Follow me and charge into battle," he shouted. "Just protect my back."

  That team was stunned, only responding with a "yes". He originally wanted to send someone to protect Bai Qi and continue to charge forward. According to reason, Bai Qi didn't have the qualifications to command him, but Bai Jian's prestige among the soldiers was extremely high, this name of Bai Qi wasn't easy to give or take, but now he was performing heroically, Team Leader Zhong couldn't help but feel ashamed.

  This team of Yu Lin can live up to now, luck is one aspect, and their skills are not weak either. Bai Qi integrated them once again, and summoned four more symbol soldiers, changed into heavy armor, and mixed in with the Yu Lin troops.

  Without the Inverse Scale Spear, Baqi still had the Moon Wheel Sword Pellet. He didn't mind being seen by others, so he spat out the sword pellet and charged towards the densest part of the white fog.

  This charge, however, was like a hot knife through butter. Although the number of demon soldiers was large, they usually relied on simple Taoist magic to fight in peacetime. Outside this mausoleum, magic was useless, and relying on close combat, their fighting power was not much different from that of the Feathered Forest Army. Bai Qi, however, could cast a spell to control the sword pellets, and even if his swordsmanship was poor, it couldn't hide the sharpness of the sword pellets.

  Hundreds of millions of demon soldiers, and only a few have good weapons. Whatever knives, guns, swords, or halberds are in front of Bai Qi, they all become a white light and split into two pieces.

  In less than half a time, after Bai Qi got up, more than 800 people had been added, these 800 people followed Bai Qi to charge and kill, Bai Qi's sword flew high, covering all 800 people inside. Every powerful and frightening demon soldier who appeared was beheaded by Bai Qi's sword.

  Out of the white fog ahead, a short figure suddenly rushed out and shouted loudly at Bai Qi: "Young Master!"

  Bai Qi took a look, and it was Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu looked a bit disheveled, with many external injuries on his body. However, he still seemed to have plenty of energy. Bai Qi took out a blood-stained dagger and tossed it over, shouting: "Follow me from behind."

  At this time, there was no time to ask about the Jade True Princess. Bai Qi chose a direction and did not change it. That was the direction of Jinling City. He wasn't afraid of getting lost either. The Inverse Scale Spear in his body, although dormant, could still allow Bai Qi to distinguish directions. If the direction of the Inverse Scale Spear changed, that meant he himself had strayed off course.

  Xiao Yu took the Blood Patterned Dagger and silently followed Bai Qi, heading towards the thickest part of the white fog.
