Hear this.

Xia Liuqing chuckled.

"It is said that when Sun Dianying robbed the tomb of Cixi, her body was severely damaged by his soldiers."

"At that time, I thought Cixi's death was a bit tragic. Now it seems that this old witch was smart and didn't really bury herself in that place."

Su Zaiqiao was a little curious.

"Then whose body was stolen from Cixi's mausoleum?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head.

"For this kind of thing, it's very easy to find an old palace maid."

"makes sense."

While everyone was discussing, Feng Baobao had already continued reading with her notes.

……

I wasn't quite sure what this cicada-containing pearl was, so I decided to head to this underground palace.

[So, under Xuankui's guidance, he took me to find the tomb.]

[I have to say, the scale of this underground Qing Palace is almost the same as the underground Qing Palace in Suolongling. After finding the entrance and entering it, bypassing all the Qing monsters, I saw the corpse of the Empress Dowager Cixi.]

[The cicada pearl in Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth also gave me a very familiar feeling. In the end, it was the Wancai Qingsui Gu that told me that the scent of the cicada pearl in Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth was almost identical to the scent of the immortal corpse of the Nanhua Elder Immortal.]

[In other words, the cicada pearl mentioned by Cixi was a relic left by a certain immortal!]

……

Everyone was a little surprised to hear that it was actually the remains of an immortal.

Ding Shimaan frowned at this moment.

"If this cicada pearl is a relic of an immortal, then doesn't it mean that Cixi really has a chance to become an immortal after her corpse is reincarnated?"

"But Empress Cixi didn't practice Taoism during her lifetime. How could she successfully transform her corpse into an immortal like those high-ranking Taoists who have practiced for decades?"

Hearing Ding Shimaan's question, the old Taoist priest spoke at this moment.

"Speaking of which, this is not something impossible."

"It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, there were records of the practice of passing on one's skills. This means that a person could pass on their life's work to others, making them as powerful as they were before the transfer."

"Perhaps, this Empress Dowager Cixi received some spiritual power from a certain master."

Zhang Chulan was a little surprised.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Then why did this method become lost? Couldn't those wealthy families have passed down their cultivation from generation to generation?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan say this, the old Taoist sighed slightly.

"That's what they say, but all of these lost techniques share one common characteristic: they harm the harmony of nature."

"Whether it's the art of immortality, this kind of skill transmission, or the unique skills lost during the Anti-Japanese War, they will all cause some kind of harm to this world."

"Oh, and there are also the Eight Wonders."

Zhang Chulan was a little surprised when he heard his master mention the Eight Great Skills.

"Master, why are we talking about the Eight Wonders?"

The old Taoist priest sighed softly at this moment.

"I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand. Why did the news of the Eight Great Techniques leak out so quickly after they were mastered? Then they were hunted down by all the strange people in the world. It wasn't even more than half a year."

"From now on, this is inevitable. The Eight Wonders will inevitably be leaked and stolen. In the end, they will inevitably be lost like those previous skills."

"This is fate, or you could say it's a kind of law between heaven and earth."

Everyone was extremely surprised to hear the old Taoist priest say this.

“Is there such a saying?”

Xia Liuqing sneered at this moment.

"I'm the only one left in my lineage now. If I hadn't met two disciples with better aptitude, perhaps this art of summoning gods and performing divine acts would have disappeared from my family."

“However, what the old master said makes some sense, but I think these secret techniques also have a desire to survive.”

"Otherwise, why would two very suitable disciples suddenly appear before I die of old age?"

"So before these eight unique skills were erased by that law, they would definitely encounter many powerful and talented successors."

"There are even so many people coming to snatch the training methods of the Eight Great Techniques."

"These descendants and those who seize the Eight Wonders are the capital for the Eight Wonders to fight against the heavens!"

Xia Liuqing's words made everyone come out of their previous surprise.

indeed.

Although the Eight Great Techniques were leaked at the time, causing their masters to be hunted down, they were eventually passed down to today through various means.

Isn’t this an alternative way to fight against fate?

The old Taoist priest sighed softly.

"maybe."

"However, in the face of time, the power of these resistances will be infinitely weakened."

"My father's previous notes suggested that all aliens should not exist. This must have been an insight into the laws of nature."

After hearing what the old Taoist said, everyone was stunned.

However, they have not reached that level, and what they can see is very limited.

What I think now is no different from that of ordinary people.

Seeing that everyone was silent.

Seeing this, Feng Baobao continued to read and took notes.

I took the cicada pearl out of Cixi's mouth, and she was immediately awakened. However, upon seeing the colorful green marrow Gu surrounding me, she immediately became respectful.

[It seems that Empress Dowager Cixi has a good eye. She knows that as long as I give the order, the Wancai Qingsui Gu will directly pierce her skull and suck out her brain marrow.]

I asked Cixi why she built this mausoleum. She told me that the head of the Shuzi Sect at the time calculated that her tomb would be robbed in the future, so she built another one.

The Cicada Pearl was presented during the Qianlong Emperor's reign by a small nation called the Black Tooth Kingdom, claiming it could whiten and nourish the skin.

[After Empress Dowager Cixi came to power, she had someone look at the cicada-containing pearl and learned that it was something left behind by an immortal in the mortal world. Therefore, she planned to put it in her mouth after her death in the hope of achieving immortality.]

I told Cixi everything that happened at Suolongling. After learning that Fuduo had broken free from the Regent's control, Cixi was very excited, because this meant that the Aisin-Gioro lineage had not been cut off.

[And I will let Xuan Kui stay in Cixi's tomb to control the Qing monsters here, and warn Cixi that any orders from Xuan Kui will be my orders from now on, and don't try to do anything weird.]

Xuankui was very grateful to me because he had served in the Qing court during the Qing dynasty, his highest position being a prefect. Now that he was able to control Empress Dowager Cixi, his status had been elevated immensely.

After leaving Cixi's mausoleum, I took the cicada pearl and some of Xuankui's blood with me. I wanted to study whether there were any longevity substances in the cicada pearl and Xuankui's blood.

The former owner of this cicada pearl seems to have died. Now only an empty shell remains. Only by occasionally absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth can it display its original magical power.

After infusing it with true Qi, I discovered that this cicada-containing pearl possesses the dual abilities of peeping into people's hearts and foreseeing the future. When I infuse it with true Qi, it can reflect the most secret thoughts and emotions of anyone nearby, whether well-intentioned or malicious.

[Under the influence of the Hanging Horn Dragon, I can only glimpse the strong desires of the devout believers in God, but I can't be as detailed as the Hanchan Pearl.]

[I have to say, I really found a treasure this time. ]

[In the days that followed, I continued to study the Cicada Pearl and discovered another function of it.]

[That is, at certain times, the Cicada Orb will display a vague warning of a major event that is about to occur in the future.]

[However, this ability to predict the future seems to be due to the death of the owner of the Hanchan Orb, so it is not completely clear and accurate. It can only provide me with some clues and hints in some key areas, so as to achieve the purpose of avoiding danger and seeking good fortune!]

Under the influence of the Cicada Pearl, I saw the future shrouded in blood-red, as if the entire world was enveloped in a scarlet evil aura. From somewhere, I sensed a word: the Blood Demon Cult.

[I wonder what kind of shocking actions this Blood Demon Cult will take in the future! ]

Chapter 177: Lurking Blood Demon Cult, Immortal Zombie Blood (6K Chapter)

When they heard the specific function of the Cicada Pearl, everyone had an incredible expression.

Zhang Chulan opened his mouth wide.

"Is this cicada pearl a magical artifact?"

"Such an outrageous effect."

"It's just like the magic weapon used by the gods in legends."

Su Zaiqiao on the side said:

"Actually, this can't be considered an immortal weapon. If there were a very powerful weapon refiner in ancient times, and there were people who practiced these two techniques."

"It is entirely possible to replicate the technique on this magical instrument."

"In this way, this magical instrument can be transformed into the shape of a cicada pearl."

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan was stunned.

Because he thought of Ma Xianhong. The white puppet of Ma Xianhong was a replica of other people's supernatural powers on himself.

On the other hand, the white doll is also a magical weapon.

So that can indeed be explained.

The cicada-containing jewel belongs to the category of ritual implements.

Zhang Chulan sighed.

"But I think the person who can refine such a powerful magical weapon must be a very powerful cultivator."

"I just don't know why there isn't a bloodline restriction or something so that everyone else can use it."

After hearing this, Su Zaiqiao began to guess.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably due to this person's strong self-confidence. He is confident that no one can take his magic weapon away, so there is no need to add so many restrictions."

Su Zaiqiao's words immediately woke everyone up.

indeed.

If one has extremely strong strength, there is no need to use such restrictive means as the so-called blood mark.

Zhang Chulan looked longingly.

"I really don't know who the owner of this magical weapon is. He is so powerful, I think he must be famous in history."

At this moment, Ding Shimaan thought of the Black Tooth Kingdom recorded in his notes.

"Perhaps, if we want to know the identity of this person, we can guess from the Black Tooth Nation."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Black Tooth Country is located to the north. Its people have black teeth and eat rice and snakes. There are one white and one green snake beside them."

"The Flowers in the Mirror also says that the Black Tooth Kingdom is in Fusang. The people there are as black as ink, even their teeth are black, with a hint of red lips, two red eyebrows, and red clothes."

"In other words, this Black Tooth Kingdom was most likely a small country in the past, and the myths and legends that appeared there were about the three fairy islands of Fangzhang, Yingzhou, and Penglai."

"Perhaps, the owner of this cicada pearl is the immortal from these three fairy islands."

After hearing Ding Shimaan's guess, everyone couldn't help but start to imagine.

The identity of the owner of this cicada pearl may be an immortal who lived in these fairy islands in history.

At this time, Feng Baobao had continued reading.

Although I was extremely curious about the Blood Demon Cult, I wouldn't encounter it anytime soon, so I didn't take it seriously and continued to study Xuan Kui's blood.

[It must be said that Xuan Kui's blood does have some unique characteristics. Although it does not contain any longevity substances, it can convert the surrounding energy into longevity substances.]

[In other words, the reason why Xuan Kui's blood can make him immortal is because of this special ability.]

[However, through my experiments, I discovered that these converted longevity substances are like a secret key. Only Xuankui can use them, and no one else can. Moreover, they quickly become inactive after leaving the blood, thus losing their original function.]

After hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.

Is it the longevity material that only I can use?
