Chapter 79 The Immortal Abode Appears
"I've never heard of such a physique before, but the fact that it's called a Celestial Physique is enough to show that your physique is very strong," Lu Zhao said earnestly.
The physique of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is definitely no weaker than that of a pre-natal Dao embryo.
Judging from some details in the original work, she and Zixia both lived for nearly ten thousand years.
Those who possess such a lifespan must have already reached the quasi-emperor realm.
Although they didn't take the final step, it doesn't mean they lacked potential; it just means that after Ye Fan achieved enlightenment, no one else could do anything about it.
No one can break through the Dao of a Heavenly Emperor and then attain Dao from a higher position.
In such special circumstances, there are also those who merge with the Heavenly Heart through chaotic bodies, or those like Lu Zhao who can easily attain enlightenment regardless of external forces.
"It's called a celestial body, which is only slightly stronger than an ordinary physique. It's not as powerful as you imagine," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi quickly explained.
"I heard that apart from the past few days, no one among the younger generation of female cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness has seen you fight at full strength," Lu Zhao said.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind. My Yaochi never makes enemies with outsiders, so naturally there is no need for me to go all out," the Yaochi Saintess said with a faint smile.
After resting for a while, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi fully recovered her energy.
The three continued on their way, heading deeper into the Immortal Burial Ground.
As the three of them ventured deeper, Lu Zhao saw more and more people, and many relics were discovered, along with a lot of old medicines.
Some people got into a fight and tried to steal those ancient medicines.
If they're already this badly injured by just some old medicines, imagine how badly they'd fare if they encountered legendary holy weapons or the Dao traces of an emperor.
The group continued forward and soon arrived at a fairy cliff.
This place is densely packed with fairy cliffs, blocking all the way forward.
To delve deeper, we need to find the right direction.
"Judging from the source techniques, this place is extremely dangerous; it is a veritable burial ground for immortals," Lu Zhao said after a moment's thought.
"I also have a feeling that this place is full of dangers, and you could lose your life at any moment." Zixia nodded seriously.
"This place is indeed terrifying; we'd better be careful."
The divine thoughts are hidden too deeply, and this guy is too dangerous. If you run into his arms, you'll probably only have one way out: death.
"Yes, as soon as I entered this place, I felt a chilling aura, as if some great terror was lurking in the shadows."
"Standing in a more crowded area will make things a little better," Lu Zhao said, leading the group away.
Sure enough, as they moved, a dark shadow flashed past below the Immortal Cliff.
The speed was so fast that even if you kept staring at this place, you might not be able to catch it, and other people who suddenly sensed it would have no chance of discovering that guy.
However, when this guy appeared, Lu Zhao sensed the remnants of Dao principles.
This divine thought is very powerful, and the Dao it contains is powerful and terrifying.
"I feel the chill growing stronger, as if a terrifying creature is getting closer to us," said the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
"It's a divine thought, we should be careful," Lu Zhao transmitted to the two, causing their expressions to change drastically.
"This thing actually exists; it seems some of the rumors were true."
"This thing is purely evil; it's a manifestation of the evil of ancient gods, devoid of any good intentions. It seems we're in real trouble this time."
Zixia and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi simultaneously communicated telepathically, expressing some of their concerns.
"Come with me first, something seems a little different here." Lu Zhao led the two people forward to the front of a cliff.
The cliff is covered with indistinct marks, depicting birds, beasts, fish, and insects—a testament to the ways of nature.
"This is the way of nature, and I feel it can be of some use to me," said the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, staring intently at the engraving.
Lu Zhao quickly scanned the entire engraving, and then used his special ability.
With his exceptional comprehension, he grasped all these principles.
Lu Zhao also gained a great deal from the Way of Nature.
"The way of nature goes against common sense. Does it mean that people should abandon their seven emotions and six desires? Otherwise, how can one comprehend it?" Zixia said.
"It's not about abandoning our emotions and desires, but about making us more in line with the laws of nature when we do things, not being bound by external formalities, just doing whatever makes us comfortable," Lu Zhao explained.
"I'll try again." Following Lu Zhao's understanding, Zixia re-examined these natural principles, and indeed, she gained a great deal.
Not only did Zixia gain something, but the Holy Maiden of Yaochi also gained a lot.
Just as everyone was trying to figure it out, more people discovered the stone wall.
Even Ye Fan and his group walked towards the stone wall, constantly studying the scriptures there, hoping to gain some insights.
However, after pondering for a while, no one gained anything.
Lu Zhao led the two away to prevent the Yaochi Saintess, who was meditating with her eyes closed, from being affected if someone attacked Ye Fan later.
Sure enough, not long after he retreated, Ye Fan suffered a severe injury.
He was blasted away by a black stone seal and crashed into the stone wall.
The stone wall was destroyed by them, and the principles on it could no longer be comprehended.
As a terrible battle broke out, countless giant mountains were blasted apart by Ye Fan's arrows.
Suddenly, the cave in the rocky mountain was exposed.
"The ancient emperor's cave has been revealed!"
Many people exclaimed in surprise. After Ye Fan shot down eighteen stone mountains, a vast underground palace appeared, resembling an ancient mausoleum or a celestial abode, overflowing with vital energy.
Immediately, countless people rushed towards the cave, all wanting to obtain the treasures inside.
"Let the Holy Maiden of Yaochi wake up first. Let's hurry in and take a look, or someone else will get there first," Zixia said eagerly.
"We must not act rashly for now. I sense a terrifying aura in that cave, which may be the divine thought."
Lu Zhao grabbed Zixia, preventing her from rushing into the cave.
Sure enough, as soon as those people rushed into the cave, screams of agony came from inside.
The sound was so tragic that it sent chills down one's spine. Many people could even tell that it was the scream of a half-step great power.
Because many people recognize this person; he's the one who just attacked Ye Fan.
In the blink of an eye, such a huge change occurred.
Even Zixia was pale-faced. If she had rushed in rashly, she might have been in danger. It was as if Lu Zhao had saved her life.
Moreover, at this moment, even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi regained consciousness.
After comprehending those natural principles, her gains were indeed considerable.
At least in terms of skill level, she has a chance to make further progress in a short period of time.
"What should we do next? Should we retreat now or continue to venture out?" Zixia looked at Lu Zhao, no longer daring to make a decision on her own.
"Wait a little longer," Lu Zhao replied with just three words.
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the distant mountains collapse, and the entire burial ground was shaken.
