The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 702 - 703: The Strange Beam of Light in the Tomb
Liu Zixuan was also somewhat shocked. The higher one climbs as a Martial Artist, the harder it is to breakthrough indeed.
In three thousand years, only three have reached the Saint Realm worldwide. What an astounding proportion!
According to the current data, there are seven billion people worldwide, meaning it takes over two billion to produce one person in the Saint Realm!
Liu Zixuan grinned and said, "It seems the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm is already a super powerful existence in this world."
"Indeed." The Elder of the Willow Association laughed and said, "Don’t worry. With your talents, I believe your future achievements won’t be low. Achieving the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm is just a matter of time for you."
Liu Zixuan pursed his lips slightly, "Let’s focus on the present first. Those things... are still a bit distant for me."
As they spoke, the two had reached the innermost part of the cave. Looking at the dark space and the damp cave walls, Liu Zixuan asked, "What should we do next?"
"The Seven-Star Tomb is just behind that giant stone. Let me try to open it."
It was evident that the Elder of the Willow Association really valued Liu Zixuan and was earnest in helping him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t personally handle such a trivial matter as opening a tomb door in a cave.
He slowly placed his hands together in a sealing gesture on the cave wall and then carefully moved them. After searching for a few seconds, the Elder of the Willow Association suddenly gave a strong push, and a stone roughly the size of a doorway suddenly turned into powder and scattered directly on the ground.
Suddenly, there appeared a large space in front!
The Elder of the Willow Association nodded to Liu Zixuan and led him inside.
This was an underground space entirely constructed of stone, somewhat like a tomb, but without the smallness of a true burial chamber; it resembled a place where ancient people might have lived.
"You take a look around first, I’ll search for the specific location of the Dragon Vein," the Elder of the Willow Association said, then walked deeper inside.
Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan began examining the Seven-Star Tomb.
This particular Seven-Star Tomb was somewhat different from the ones he had encountered before, whether in Lingxiu Village, Ghost Wood City, or Celestial Capital. Those often had carvings or deliberately placed items.
But this time, apart from things that looked like houses, there was nothing else, just emptiness.
Fortunately, Liu Zixuan was here to seek special treasures. If a regular tomb raider came in, they might have thought it had already been ransacked, as it was too empty, not even a single bottle or jar!
In this unified space, Liu Zixuan scoured around but found nothing out of the ordinary.
Eventually, Liu Zixuan’s gaze settled on several stone pillars.
There were seven stone pillars in total, all round, protruding about thirty centimeters from the ground, with equal intervals between them, arranged in a circular pattern.
Liu Zixuan walked closer, rubbed his chin, and inspected them carefully. Although these seven stone pillars appeared unremarkable, their abrupt appearance and regular arrangement were puzzling.
"It’s really odd; we’ve checked everywhere and still haven’t found the Ancestral Dragon Vein."
At this moment, the Elder of the Willow Association came over, looking somewhat displeased. Given his cultivation, finding a Dragon Vein should be easy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have discovered this special place back then.
Even though he knew the Dragon Vein was in this Seven-Star Tomb, why couldn’t he find the specific location?
Liu Zixuan looked at the bewildered Elder of the Willow Association and pointed ahead, "Old Ancestor, look at this..."
Upon hearing this, the Elder of the Willow Association walked over, observed for a while, and then suddenly rose into the air, hovering at the tomb’s ceiling, observing these stone pillars from above. Shortly, he smiled, "Young friend Zixuan, come up and take a look. What pattern is this?"
"Alright!" Liu Zixuan responded, leaping upward directly. With one glance, he instinctively spoke, "From here, it looks like the Eight Trigrams, but the Eight Trigrams include: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, yet one is missing."
The Elder of the Willow Association furrowed his brows, "But which one is missing?"
Both landed and examined the seven stone pillars closely.
Liu Zixuan muttered, "Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, Xun represents Wind, Zhen represents Thunder, Kan represents Water, Li represents Fire, Gen represents Mountain, Dui represents Marsh."
Saying this, Liu Zixuan and the Elder of the Willow Association almost simultaneously said, "It’s Gen!"
An excited smile appeared on Liu Zixuan’s face, "Gen represents the Mountain, and this entire Seven-Star Tomb is composed of mountain stone, which already embodies what the Eight Trigrams include, making this set complete."
The Elder of the Willow Association nodded, suddenly forming a Qi strike with his right hand, directing it towards the positions of Qian and Kun Trigrams.
"Boom!"
The Qi contacted the spots of Qian and Kun Trigrams, causing the seven stone pillars to slowly rise upward.
Amidst this, an overwhelming and suffocating aura began to emerge.
"Move back!"
The Elder of the Willow Association shouted sharply, pulling Liu Zixuan to retreat dozens of steps back with urgency.
Just as they landed, the seven stone pillars had risen two or three meters high, and in the center, a very deep hole suddenly appeared, from which a blinding light burst forth.
While all remained calm on the Elder of the Willow Association’s side, the Nameless Sword in Liu Zixuan’s pocket began quivering violently.
Frowning, Liu Zixuan took out the Nameless Sword from his pocket, intending to figure out what was going on, when it suddenly slipped from his grasp, flying directly towards the beam of blinding light.
"What’s happening?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I’m not sure either. But I sensed the Ancestral Dragon Vein Qi within that beam of light," the Elder of the Willow Association said solemnly.
Though unafraid of the Seven-Star Tomb, when it came to the Dragon Vein Qi, a cautious look surfaced on the Elder of the Willow Association’s face. He was notably tense, watching ahead without daring to step forward.
Liu Zixuan, however, was a bit annoyed. The Nameless Sword was his most reliable weapon, and couldn’t afford anything to happen to it!
A good weapon, especially one like the Nameless Sword, which recognizes its master, is more than just a mere weapon to Liu Zixuan, but more like a silent, wordless brother! Hence Liu Zixuan was quite worried about the Nameless Sword.
At this very moment, the Nameless Sword had reached the light beam, and during its flight, its sword radiance became increasingly sharp, as though it intended to pierce through the light beam. Yet, when the two truly collided, the Nameless Sword emitted an extremely piercing sword cry, akin to a wailing sound, and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan grew anxious and rushed directly towards the Nameless Sword.
"Be careful!" Watching Liu Zixuan move, the Elder of the Willow Association became visibly worried. However, his warning was evidently too late.
From within the light beam, something resembling lightning burst forth, shooting towards Liu Zixuan’s back...
