Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

However, given Qin Tian's research and mastery of the Divine Forbidden Domain...

Standing atop the Forbidden Realm of Eternal Gods, one can unleash combat power at that level.

After all, the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are just the foundation.

Combat strength is not only measured by physical strength and spirit, but also by the Great Dao, forbidden numbers, forbidden techniques, and so on...

However, compared to the young Wu Shi and the young Wan Qing, Qin Tian inevitably has some weaknesses.

If he were to truly fight against a character like Wushi, he would inevitably be targeted, as both his physical body and primordial spirit would be his weaknesses.

The advantages of the innate sacred body and Dao embryo are too great. Both the physical body and the primordial spirit are flawless and can fight across major realms.

As for the Azure Emperor, there's no need to say more. Even though he was slashed by the will of Heaven, he was still a Nirvana Immortal King. After cultivation, he had no weaknesses. He was the epitome of human talent, surpassing the Chaos Body and transcending the Immortal Spirit was commonplace.

Because the Chaos Green Lotus is itself a celestial being among celestial beings, the complete and ultimate attainment of the Ten Fiends' bloodline is the starting point of the Chaos Green Lotus.

However, due to the constraints of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths environment, Chaos Green Lotus's talent was also reduced by 98%, and its upper limit was fixed, with no one able to break through the maximum score of 100.

Therefore, it can be said that Heaven owes Wan Qing 10,000 points of talent.

However, Qin Tian was not discouraged. He had not forgotten that he was actually just a mortal, and that he had already surpassed many people in getting to where he was today with the talent of a mortal.

He was confident that as long as he steadily reached the end of his ideal path, he would eventually be on par with them, or even surpass them.

…………

An ancient ridge stretches out like a dragon; it is not very tall, just like an ordinary mountain range.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything, but if a Celestial Master were here, he would recognize at a glance that this is a typical "riding a dragon to ascend to immortality" formation.

Although this dragon vein is not large, in terms of its overall structure, it is a first-class blessed land, second only to Zishan and the Ancestral Dragon Vein.

At Longyan, there is a lake with clear, bright water, like a pool of fine wine. It is filled with auspicious clouds and mist, creating a dazzling and shimmering scene.

Duan De arrived at this place half a month ago and began digging along the edge of the lake.

After arriving at this place, Ye Fan chose to wait on the side, preparing to give Duan De a good whack once he dug open the passage to the tomb, saving time and effort.

"This dragon ascension formation is truly heaven-defying," Ye Fan exclaimed.

While studying the scriptures, Ye Fan watched Duan De digging up the grave, and for a time he felt that he had gained a lot.

"I have a feeling that this guy is very skilled at digging graves, which seems to be consistent with the Underworld Emperor Scripture passed down by the ancestor."

"Could it be that he also obtained the inheritance of the Underworld Emperor?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously. "It's possible. After all, this fat guy is very secretive and digs up graves every day. Maybe he really did obtain the inheritance of the Underworld Emperor."

In the cycle of reincarnation, it takes Jiang Yifei and Yao Guang Shengzi working together to fight a god, while Duan De alone can kill a god, even with the help of a royal weapon, that is his skill.

It's hard not to marvel at his power.

However, Ye Fan never expected that the so-called Underworld Emperor Scripture was actually just a collection of tomb raiding tips written by Duan De.

Ye Fan closed the book and sighed, "However, I underestimated this grave-digging technique."

"Formations, Origin Heaven, Heavenly Secrets—it encompasses almost everything..."

“Every time I read it, I gain new insights. It truly lives up to its reputation as being forged by the legendary Underworld Emperor who walked the path of immortality in the mortal world.” Ye Fan exclaimed, “It is truly defying the heavens.”

The techniques recorded in the Underworld Emperor's Scripture are not simply grave-digging techniques.

Of all the arts in the world, every skill, when it reaches its peak, is incredibly formidable. The art of grave robbing, when it reaches its peak, is even more defying the heavens, almost reaching the Dao, and its meaning is extraordinary.

It is important to know that the Dao of Origin Heaven is derived from the Dao of Grave Digging.

And this is only one aspect of the dragon-seeking exploration.

A qualified tomb raider must know how to use formations, otherwise even if you find a magnificent tomb, it will be useless, and you can only stare blankly at it.

Furthermore, it requires unparalleled combat power to suppress the zombies in the tomb.

Furthermore, one should at least learn the art of divination to avoid being pursued by the descendants of the owner of the lost property.

One by one, this is not just a simple grave digging; it is art!

The art of grave robbing is profound and complex, making Ye Fan sigh that learning one skill is equivalent to learning several other skills.

If you want the best grave-digging skills, go to the Underworld and find the King of Hell.

"Should we give this fatso a good whack later?" Ye Fan thought, itching to do it.

"Judging from his performance, this guy must have a considerable collection of grave robbing artifacts," Ye Fan pondered. "I even saw him pull out a King-level weapon in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"That fatso's collection is definitely not small."

Ye Fan muttered under his breath, "Leaving these things in this fatso's hands will only bring harm. These underground creatures are destined to be with me, the successor of the Underworld Emperor, and should be under my control."

Ye Fan felt the brick in his hand was out of control, restless and ready to strike the Underworld Emperor at any moment.

But seeing Duan De diligently digging the tomb ahead, he lowered his raised hand again.

Ye Fan muttered, "Forget it, I'll just wait a bit longer."

"Damn it, I've already exposed such a huge flaw, why isn't that guy behind me taking the bait yet!" Duan De cursed.

He discovered Ye Fan's whereabouts early on.

Ye Fan's skill in hiding was far inferior to Duan De's.

After being ambushed by Qin Tianyi, he desperately improved his counter-surveillance skills.

Second only to grave robbing, after all, he didn't want the treasures he had painstakingly unearthed to be taken away effortlessly by someone else with a single blow.

He still hasn't recovered from the pain of losing the Devouring Demon Canopy once, and if it happened again, Duan De fears he might really die on the spot.

"Damn it, the Taoist priest has almost dug through the tunnel!" Duan De cursed. "Why isn't that kid taking the bait yet?"

After a while, Duan De crawled out from underground, put down his shovel, and shouted into the woods, "Alright, kid, come out now!"

"Are they bluffing me? Or have they really found me?" Ye Fan remained calm and concealed his true feelings even more, muttering to himself.

After waiting for a while, Ye Fan looked up and was startled by a huge face that filled his field of vision.

"What a coincidence!" Upon seeing that the person in the shadows was Ye Fan, Duan De immediately broke into a bright smile.

This is his lucky star!

Their first meeting led him to the Tomb of the Azure Emperor.

On their second meeting, she brought him the essence blood of the Demon Emperor.

The third meeting was an opportunity within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is their fourth meeting. I wonder what surprises await him next?

Ye Fan gave an awkward smile: "Isn't this Master Cao!"

"What a coincidence, you're taking this route too?"

Duan De smiled but remained silent.

Coincidence? Coincidence that you've been squatting here for three days and three nights?

Ye Fan glanced at the large pit behind Duan De and said, "Are you doing archaeology?"

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, Daoist Master!" Ye Fan took off running.

"Don't rush!" Duan De stretched out a chubby hand that shimmered with divine light and effortlessly grabbed Ye Fan.

A hint of surprise flashed in Duan De's eyes as he muttered, "His aura hasn't been concealed. He really isn't at the Dragon Transformation Realm anymore? He's become... a Dao Palace Realm cultivator?"

Duan De smiled slightly. Ye Fan's cultivation level was none of his concern, and things couldn't be better this way.

A Saint Body at the Dragon Transformation Realm is nowhere near as easy to handle as a Saint Body at the Dao Palace Realm!

Duan Dehong's flushed face was full of ill intent: "Hey, you celestial venerable Wuliang, don't leave so fast. I was planning to share the opportunity with you."

Ye Fan cursed inwardly, "Do you even believe what you're saying?!"

Duan De didn't do anything to Ye Fan.

What's inside this tomb is still unknown, but one thing is certain... anyone who can use the Dragon Flying Immortal formation is destined to be extraordinary.

Therefore, he needs a "helper," a "helper" who can cover his retreat at any time.

Ye Fan is a perfect candidate. With his Ancient Sacred Body, he is naturally full of vital energy and blood, extremely yang and strong, and is specifically designed to restrain the yin spirits and underworld creatures underground.

Compared to him, the young man's Qilin blood is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Ye Fan is simply a born tomb raider!

The two followed the passage that Duan De had already cleared, heading deeper underground.

Before long, they reached the end, where deep underground was an ancient palace that looked grand in scale.

"This is it!"

"Judging from this arrangement, the tomb owner must have been quite wealthy!" Duan De gestured for Ye Fan to go up and open the door.

Ye Fan pursed his lips, circulated his qi and blood, and used the most yang and vigorous qi and blood to open the palace gate using the method recorded in the Underworld Emperor Scripture.

In an instant, a surge of yin energy rushed up.

As the cold winter of December arrived, even Ye Fan, who possessed the Holy Body, couldn't help but tremble.

Pushing open the palace gates, you'll be greeted by a large cauldron, occupying the center of the palace.

In this vast palace, the first thing anyone notices upon entering is this cauldron.

This ancient cauldron is made entirely of a bluish-gold metal, dazzling and bright. Feather-like ripples appear on its surface, shimmering with precious light, like the sea under the bright moon, sparkling with light.

It was breathtakingly beautiful; those feather-like traces were like those of a celestial being descending to earth.

"A cauldron forged from lapis lazuli!"

The two exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their eyes filled with fervor.

Let alone them, even a great emperor would be moved and unable to remain calm when faced with such a large piece of Feathered Azure Gold.

This cauldron is enormous, estimated to have taken half a cubic meter of Feathered Azure Gold to forge, and is not much inferior to the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"The method of becoming an immortal after death is extremely harmful!" Qin Tian looked at the cauldron through the light screen and was also somewhat tempted.

"Fine, one is the master, the other is the disciple. If the master gets it, I'll have a reason to snatch it—no, I mean, to inherit it." Qin Tian rested his chin on his hand.

"After all, Duan De will die one day, and then all the treasures will be exposed."

When Duan De dies, who else will he leave his life savings to if not his apprentice?

"But this looks more like an opportunity for Ye Fan."

"Ye Fan's luck is truly remarkable, losing the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron but getting the Ascension Azure Gold Cauldron instead." Qin Tian sighed, "I couldn't do something as tasteless as competing with my disciple for an opportunity."

"Speaking of which... this tomb owner was quite lucky!"

"We actually obtained such a large piece of Feathered Azure Gold."

In every era, there are always a few beings with extraordinary luck. For example, in the ancient Yao Guang Holy Land, someone unearthed a full half-square of dragon-patterned black gold.

However, it was forced to be given up and became the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron of the Yao Guang Holy Land, which eventually became the weapon of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

The chosen one who unearthed the dragon-patterned black gold disappeared into the long river of time.

"So, luck alone isn't enough; you also need power!" Qin Tian sighed. "Without power, even the greatest fortune can't be preserved."

Qin Tian sighed deeply, looking at the deceased tomb owner, his heart filled with mixed emotions. This was yet another ignorant "young man" who had been tricked by Duan De.

He immediately recognized that the tomb owner's purpose was to seek immortality after death.

As time went by, no one achieved immortality through the method of becoming an immortal after death. The supreme beings lost faith in it and instead squatted in the forbidden zone, waiting for the path to immortality to open.

However, beings below the highest level have not completely abandoned this method of achieving immortality.

After all, the methods to achieve immortality that they have access to are limited.

Aside from the path to immortality, the only other way is to become an immortal after death.

As a result, people came up with several versions of the method of becoming an immortal after death.

For example, the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal who abandons his physical body and yearns for his primordial spirit to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Another example is the Earth Immortal Method, which is closest to the orthodox path of becoming an immortal after death. It involves burying oneself in the earth's veins in the hope of achieving immortality.

And the method that appeared before Duan De and the others at this moment was to offer rare and precious materials as a sacrifice to the Great Dao in the dark, in order to become an immortal after death.

This azure-gold cauldron, symbolizing ascension to immortality, was the offering.

The ding (鼎) was used for sacrificial rites and was a national treasure.
