A master of comedy!

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, the Empress's primordial spirit dissipated, scattering into countless starlight that fell like rain, resembling a dazzling fireworks display.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

Even if a primordial spirit in the Earth Immortal realm is incomplete, it still contains enormous energy. After death, that vast spiritual energy returns to the world and becomes part of the origin of the world.

With clear skies and bright sunshine, the entire Kunlun Mountains will benefit from this.

It's as if the destiny and fortune that were taken away have been returned to all living beings.

Zhou Sheng had no intention of taking away the spiritual energy that could benefit all living beings. He was simply bathing in the starlight-like rain of light, his dragon eyes shining like the sun, discerning the fragments of the Empress's memories.

He saw the Empress's former glory.

A woman became a general, achieved great military exploits, and later ascended the throne. She fought in the south and the north, suppressed various warlords, and created a prosperous dynasty.

At that time, she did not regard the people as worthless. On the contrary, she reduced taxes and levies, emphasized agriculture and sericulture, improved water conservancy, punished corruption, and reformed taxation. She had the demeanor of a wise ruler and was hailed as the restorer of the Great Qian Dynasty.

But as time went by and years passed, everything began to change.

The empress, who was once able to wield a spear and ride a horse, winning every battle, can now barely even draw her sword. More terrifying than the loss of her beauty is the disease and aging that are constantly devouring her body.

Even more devastatingly, those below her began to stir, including her own children.

The son wanted to be emperor, and so did the daughter.

In the final moments of her life, she wasn't thinking about how to stabilize the country, but rather... her unwillingness to accept defeat.

I am unwilling to die like this.

So she devoted the entire nation's resources to searching for extraordinary people and taking countless precious elixirs, but unfortunately, none of them had much effect.

Until she met a truly wise person.

When Zhou Sheng flipped through the memory fragment, he was surprised to discover something: the Empress clearly remembered such a master, but there was no specific image of him.

It's as if someone forcibly erased that face from my memory.

So all Zhou Sheng could see was that the man was wearing a dragon-shaped thumb ring and a black robe, but his face was very blurry.

The expert claimed that the Great Qian Dynasty still had two hundred years of national fortune left. If she was willing to trade it, she could live forever and even possess unparalleled power.

The Empress agreed.

Thus, less than thirty years after she passed the throne to her son, the Great Qian Dynasty fell apart, and various warlords vied for control of the Central Plains, including Li Qingxuan, the founding emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Everyone thought the Empress was dead, but in fact her body was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but was buried in Kunlun Mountain by that master.

According to that wise man, the great tomb in Kunlun Mountain was originally built by the Queen Mother of the West herself, but she later disappeared, and the tomb remained empty and unclaimed for a thousand years.

A master with extraordinary abilities buried the Empress in the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West, helping her seize the power of heaven and earth, and using the spiritual energy of the Kunlun Mountains to help her gradually cultivate into a drought demon.

The drought demon's immortal body truly fulfilled its promise of eternal life. However, what the empress did not expect was that this great tomb both made her who she was and trapped her.

The Queen Mother of the West left a restriction in the tomb, so that if any evil spirits were to arise, they would be trapped there for life and would not be able to leave.

Zombies are naturally a type of evil spirit.

So even though she received some of the blessings from the Queen Mother of the West and the fortune of the Kunlun Mountains, she was ultimately trapped in her own world, never seeing the light of day for hundreds of years.

It wasn't until Liu Bowen severed the dragon veins that one of the nine sons of the dragon veins was attracted by the imperial aura on her body and flew down here, giving her the means to contact the outside world.

With the help of the dragon vein, she enlightened the Azure Bird and the Mysterious Maiden, transforming the great tomb into a celestial palace, cultivating her power, spreading her fame far and wide, and eventually becoming a regional overlord.

But she still couldn't leave the tomb in her true form.

In order to completely break free from her cage, she set up the Feast of Bliss in an attempt to attract the existence of the Immortal Realm, because zombies can drain a person's essence, and as a drought demon, she can even drain the Immortal Realm.

As long as she can obtain the full power of a Celestial Immortal, she is confident that she can break through the Queen Mother of the West's restrictions, return to the mortal realm, rule the world, and reclaim everything that is rightfully hers!
The plan was a great success, but unfortunately, there was an extra Zhou Sheng.

The goddess of drama, who had disappeared for many years, reappeared in the world, and even appeared at her banquet of ultimate bliss.

After Zhou Sheng had roughly read through her memories, he couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes filled with thought.

Everything seemed clear at first glance, but many secrets remained hidden. For example, who exactly was that master wearing a dragon-shaped thumb ring and a black robe?

For example, why did the Queen Mother of the West build a large tomb for herself and then suddenly disappear without a trace?

Kunlun is known as the ancestor of all mountains. Legend has it that it is the passage connecting the human world and the heavenly realm. Could the sudden disappearance of gods and Buddhas in those days be related to Kunlun?
Zhou Sheng subconsciously tried to calculate with his fingers, but found it all a blur, the secrets of heaven were unknowable.

Even with his skill level, it's far from enough.

Of course, Luo Shu should be able to calculate it, but the cause and effect involved in this matter are too great. Even though he just killed a terrestrial immortal and obtained a vast amount of energy, it may not be enough.

Now that he has reached his current level, he can no longer easily use the Luo Shu.

Because most things in the world can no longer stump him, the things that can make him use the Luoshu are all things with great karmic consequences and great consumption.

Therefore, we need to accumulate a lot of energy so that it can play its greatest role at critical moments.

Putting aside everything else, the whereabouts of the remaining nine dragon veins alone would be a huge energy expenditure, so he had to keep some "storage".

"Forget it, there's always a way out. Instead of looking for enemies, it's better to find the dragon vein and improve our cultivation. That's the most important thing."

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Sheng had made his decision, and his primordial spirit slowly disappeared.

……

Inside the great tomb, sunlight streamed in like a waterfall.

The remaining spirits vanished instantly when exposed to sunlight, revealing the true face of the entire tomb.

Zhou Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

"Uncle Zhou, you're awake!"

The moment I opened my eyes, I heard a joyful and excited voice beside me.

Looking at that delicate yet pretty face, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "What did you call me?"

Yang Ying looked up. She was tall and slender, but still a little shorter than Zhou Sheng. So she raised her chin, and her bright eyes blinked like stars.

"Uncle Zhou, you're Uncle Bao's good friend, so you're my uncle. From now on, I'll be your niece—oh dear!"

Zhou Sheng gave her a hard tap on the forehead, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"You call me 'Big Brother' one minute and 'Uncle Zhou' the next. You're quite flexible with your seniority."

Rubbing her forehead, Yang Ying chuckled as she listened to Zhou Sheng's teasing, and the lingering tension and embarrassment in her heart instantly vanished.

She could feel the special closeness that Uncle Zhou had towards her.

It seemed that no matter what naughty things she did or how outrageous her jokes were, Uncle Zhou would only look at her with a helpless yet doting gaze.

This feeling was very strange to her.

"Then what should I call you from now on?"

The smile on Zhou Sheng's face suddenly vanished, his pupils became inexplicably deep, and he stared at her with a somewhat cold gaze.

"How can you be so sure that I am Zhou Sheng?"

Yang Ying froze abruptly, her face turning deathly pale.

Until Zhou Sheng burst into laughter and tapped her again.

"Uncle Zhou, you big liar! You, you, you're bullying a child!!"

Yang Ying stomped her feet in anger, rubbing her reddened forehead and looking resentful.

What kind of person is he? He doesn't act like a great hero or a senior figure at all!
Jinse couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she quickly stepped forward and tenderly rubbed her forehead, then turned around and glared at Zhou Sheng.

"Master, you can't make jokes like that!"

"It will scare her..." (End of Chapter)
