People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

I don't know which one is true and which one is false.

According to the "Liezi: Tang Wen", King Mu of Zhou launched a major campaign against the Western Rong. The Western Rong presented him with a sword called Kunwu, which was a foot long and made of red steel. It could cut jade as easily as cutting mud.

Cao Ze is more inclined to believe that the Kunwu Sword was artificially crafted.

Of course, these are all legends, and no one knows whether they are true or false.

After all, there is a legend that after the Yellow Emperor obtained this sword, he used it for conquest. Later, to repay the kindness of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Sect, he personally returned the sword to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Sect by the Ji River for worship.

As for legends such as the one that was secretly taken away by the Queen Mother of the West, there are countless more.

"How about it?"

Cao Ze walked over to Jing Ni and asked with concern.

Jingni looked down at the ancient longsword in her hand, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes.

"It seems to have recognized me as its master."

This is the first time Jingni has seen a sword that can recognize its master.

The Jingni Sword she always wore, though a divine weapon, lacked the spirituality of the Kunwu Sword and could not recognize its master.

Cao Ze's eyes lit up. "Do you have a sword spirit?"

He had always heard that some divine swords possessed spiritual power.

Based on the power that just erupted from the Sword Tomb, if the Kunwu Sword could achieve even half of that, he felt that killing a Grandmaster wouldn't be difficult.

Jing Ni tilted her head slightly and looked at Cao Ze.

"Sword Spirit? I don't think there is one..."

Cao Ze was a little disappointed, but he hadn't had high hopes to begin with.

"How did it come to recognize you as its master?"

Cao Ze looked at the Kunwu sword in Jing Ni's hand, which was as red as fire and had an ancient design, and felt a sense of wonder.

Jingni said with a hint of distress, "I don't know either."

"Once I sensed it, it flew towards me as if it had always belonged to me."

Cao Ze was stunned, unable to figure out what Jing Ni meant.

But considering this wasn't the place to talk, I had to suppress my curiosity.

"Don't tell anyone."

After whispering instructions to Jingni, Cao Ze turned to Tianze and asked, "The Sword Tomb formation has been broken. What's next?"

Tianze said in a deep voice, "According to the information left by our ancestors, the tomb of Feng Hou is located after the Sword Tomb!"

Cao Ze looked toward the dark and deep valley behind the sword mound.

"You go first."

Tianze sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll take all the good stuff?"

Cao Ze shrugged. "Go ahead."

Someone always has to scout ahead; who knows what other dangers might lurk inside?

He suddenly felt that he had the potential to be a villain, but he didn't think Tianze was a lucky protagonist.

Tianze set off with the King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon.

Cao Ze and his group followed behind the three.

The dangers they had anticipated along the way did not materialize, as if they had been worrying unnecessarily.

After exiting the valley, the end is not the tomb chamber.

It was a cave with excellent natural light.

When they entered the cave, there were no fairy mountains, pavilions, golden palaces, or jade towers as they had imagined. There were only a few stone chambers with no furnishings, which was very much in line with the style of the ancient people.

However, when they saw the center of the stone chamber, they were all terrified.

In the center of the stone chamber, an old man sat cross-legged.

The old man had rosy skin, wore a feathered robe, and sat cross-legged with his eyes lowered, like a cultivator in meditation.

"Feng Hou is still alive?!"

Upon seeing this, Tianze's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

Cao Ze calmed himself down.

“The ancient times were at least two or three thousand years ago, how could Feng Hou still be alive?”

In an era when even the Yellow Emperor, Chi You, and Shennong had disappeared, there's no reason why Feng Hou would still be alive.

Tianze realized his loss of composure and was somewhat annoyed.

"I know!"

Cao Ze ignored the stubborn Tian Ze, took two steps forward cautiously, and found a stone slab in front of Feng Hou with only four characters on it.

He clearly didn't recognize these four characters, yet he was able to understand them through the power of his divine soul.

Just like the three characters "Feng Hou Tomb" seen on the stone tablet when you first enter this place.

Perhaps this is a special script used in ancient times.

Cao Ze thought to himself.

However, when he recognized those four words, he froze as if struck by lightning.

"The...extinction...of...heaven...connection..."

Behind Cao Ze, Ya Fei slowly recited the four words on the stone tablet using her divine soul power.

Just as Ya Fei read out the four characters "绝地天通", the stone slab slowly turned red, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Cao Ze snapped out of his daze and stared in horror at the stone slab on the ground.

The connection between heaven and earth was severed.

These four characters are so evocative.

Why is the energy of heaven and earth in the outside world almost non-existent, making it impossible to even cultivate into a celestial being?

Why does history seem to have a break after the ancient battle between Chiyou and Huangdi?

Where have those incredibly powerful beings, capable of carrying mountains and moving the moon, and overturning rivers and seas, gone?

Sever the connection between heaven and earth!

Heaven and earth are separated!

Cao Ze suddenly thought of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

His gaze fell on the stone slab in front of the old man.

The stone slab has turned red, and it's impossible to tell what material it's made of; it's neither gold nor copper.

The characters on the stone tablet above, which read "Tomb of Feng Hou," have a distinctly different style and were not written by the same person.

In other words, Feng Hou's tomb was not built by Feng Hou herself.

Who would that be?

The Yellow Emperor? A descendant?

Just as Cao Ze was deep in thought, Tian Ze suddenly stepped forward and tried to take the stone slab away.

Anyone could see that this stone slab was extraordinary.

However, after Jingni extended the Kunwu Sword, Tianze had to withdraw his hand.

When Tianze stopped, he accidentally touched the old man.

This would normally be nothing, but it came as a complete shock.

The old man, with his rosy complexion and peaceful sleeping posture, vanished in an instant, turning into a rainbow.

This scene stunned everyone in the stone chamber.

"Pity……"

If anyone present was most heartbroken, it would undoubtedly be the Corpse-Driving Demon.

As someone skilled at controlling corpses, no one desired a powerful corpse more than him.

Moreover, the old man before us is comparable to a god!

Just as the old man transformed into a rainbow and departed, the cave began to tremble slowly.

As time goes on, the trend is only getting worse.

Cao Ze put away the red stone slab. "Let's go!"

When everyone came out of the cave, they found that the weather outside had changed drastically, with lightning and thunder, like the end of the world, so dark that they could hardly see each other.

"boom……"

A red line streaked across the sky, followed by a violent explosion, as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky.

At that moment, everyone lost consciousness.

The world was shrouded in darkness.

……

Chapter 486 Lady Mingzhu, who expects to be fed without asking for anything in return.

"here it is……"

Cao Ze shook his head, gazing at the starry night sky, feeling somewhat unreal.

Inside Feng Hou's Tomb, there is only daylight and no moonlit nights.

It is clear that this is no longer Feng Hou's Tomb.
