Chapter 1065 The Emperor’s Tomb is Opened!
The bell from the Dong Mo Yu Taoist Temple rang in the early morning of that day. Its sound was so mighty that it swept across the entire Dong Mo Yu like a storm.

At this moment, within Dong Mo Yu, all cultivators, whether they were from the family, independent cultivators, or those who ruled the mountain, all heard the news and involuntarily raised their heads to look at Dong Mo Yu’s Taoist platform from afar.

They knew... the day when Emperor Mingyan's retreat place would be opened had arrived.

As for the Emperor of Dark Flame, it is a glorious and terrifying name for the Holy Land of Demon Feathers.

He was not orthodox.

He mysteriously disappeared in his early years, and when he returned several years later, he had become an emperor.

At his peak, although he was in charge of East Moyu, he had already unified East and West Moyu with his terrifying strength.

Even other Xuan-level holy places have to bow to it.

The truth is that this Emperor Mingyan has reached the pinnacle of the emperor status and is only half a step away from Xia Xian.

Even this generation's Mo Yu Emperor had to bow to him. Although he inherited the name of Mo Yu, he could only be a puppet.

That period of time was when the Demon Feather Holy Land was at its most brilliant, and it was considered the number one Xuan-level holy land.

Logically speaking, an emperor of such status would not die easily, and even extending his life span would not be difficult at all.

But what is strange is that the peak period of this Emperor Mingyan was extremely short. After his failed attack on Xia Xian, it seemed as if his life was over in just a few thousand years.

No one knows why.

Most people speculated that it might be related to the way he acquired the power of the Great Emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Mingyan's retreat took place a thousand years ago.

Now, a thousand years have passed, and life or death is unknown.

And the structure of the Demon Feather Holy Land gradually changed due to his retreat.

This generation of Demon Feather Emperor, who had always been a puppet, finally had the opportunity to rise.

Until today, for the monks of the Demon Feather Holy Land, perhaps everything will come to an end.

Therefore, there are countless followers.

Even the war against humans is no longer important.

Mo Yu withdrew its troops and will focus on defense in the coming period. At the same time, the Mo Yu Holy Land has also activated the holy land formation to prevent any accidents.

The focus of everything is on Dong Mo Yu Dao Tai.

Because that is where Emperor Mingyan is in seclusion.

At this moment, as the sound of the bell echoed, figures were teleported away, and a long rainbow could be seen in the west on the horizon, also approaching with a roar.

At the same time, the sound of the bell also reached the Hall of Immortal Arts.

Even though it was a secret room isolated from the outside world, the sound of the bell could penetrate and reach the minds of Xu Qing and Erniu.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and ended his attempt on the Five Doghouse Immortals.

Erniu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You finally woke up. I was thinking if you still didn't wake up, I would have carried you out."

During these few days, Xu Qing's attempts on the Five Dog House Immortals made their antibodies remember this magic more deeply. There were several crises during this period, but fortunately, with the protection of Erniu, they got through it smoothly.

"It's a pity that there isn't enough time."

Xu Qing felt a little regretful. If he had another half a month, he would be able to completely simulate the magic. But now, he could only do half of it.

However, he also knew that compared to the magic, the place where Emperor Mingyan was in seclusion was the main target of his and the captain's trip.

"I hope I can get a chance to achieve a breakthrough there!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath, stood up and looked at Erniu.

"Big Brother, shall we set off?"

Erniu's eyes showed anticipation. He licked his lips, rubbed his hands, and chuckled.

"Before you leave, I'll give you a treasure."

As he spoke, Erniu raised his hand, took out an egg full of cracks from his storage bag, and handed it to Xu Qing.

As soon as this egg came out, a mysterious meaning flowed inside, causing the surrounding void to appear distorted, which was obviously extraordinary.

Xu Qing's eyes focused and he recognized him at a glance.

"Why are you here?"

This was exactly the golden rat's egg. After the two of them obtained it that day, they thought that Wu Jianwu was very good at hatching it, so they gave it to Wu Jianwu.

It was not until he and Yu Liuchen went on a trip to the outer sea that he met the terrifying old man who called himself the Fifth Star Ring. He saw with his own eyes that the other party also had one, and it looked like it was extremely precious.

At that time, he and Erniu realized the value of the golden rat.

"After we returned to the human imperial city, you kept an eye on Feng Lintao every day, and I went to find Wu Jianwu."

Erniu is proud.

"This golden rat is so precious. I'm worried that once Wu Jianwu hatches it, the first thing he sees is that kid, and it will become his pet."

"So I asked him to give it back and prepare to hatch it myself."

"Look, after all my efforts over this period of time, it's almost time to break out of its shell."

Erniu looked very proud.

"We don't know how long it will take for Mingyan to be in seclusion this time. You can keep yours. It is expected to break out of the shell in a few days."

"Although I don't know the specific abilities of this golden rat, it is definitely a good thing."

Hearing this, Xu Qing carefully put away the egg in his hand.

Then the two looked at each other, and they both saw the persistence and anticipation for this trip in each other's expressions.

"Xiao Aqing, this time when I go to the Nether Flame retreat, I have an additional goal, which is related to my previous life..."

"But I'm not sure yet. Once I'm sure, you have to help me."

Erniu spoke solemnly.

Xu Qing didn't ask for details and just nodded.

Erniu grinned and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder. They took a step at the same time and disappeared into the secret room in an instant.

When he appeared, Erniu was already outside the Immortal Arts Hall.

Xu Qing was in mid-air at a distance from the Immortal Arts Palace. After looking back at the direction of the Immortal Arts Palace, Xu Qing's body shook and headed straight for the East Demon Feather Taoist Platform.

Outside the Hall of Immortal Arts, Erniu, who had transformed into Yue Dong, spoke softly.

"Immortal Arts Hall, listen to my orders and follow this Immortal Master to the Great Emperor's Dao Platform."

As soon as Erniu finished speaking, a large number of immortal masters rose into the air and displayed their support.

As for the young master of the Yun family, he is not here. He was summoned by his ancestor three days ago and had to go back.

In this way, the group soon sped across the sky.

At this moment, at the Taoist platform of Emperor Mingyan, this huge wing-shaped Taoist platform was surrounded by Eastern Demon Feather monks in all directions, blocking all the ways in and out.

Only specific people can go there.

There were already three people inside, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, waiting silently.

If Xu Qing arrived at this moment, he could recognize the two of them clearly.

One of them is Lin Kun, the son of the fifth master.

The other one was actually the young master of the Yun family.

These two were obviously chosen during the internal discussion of Dong Mo Yu to follow the Tenth Overlord in.

As for the third one, he is a young boy with an ordinary appearance, but his cultivation has reached the level of spiritual concentration.

This person comes from the Ninth Lord Mountain.

They were the first group to arrive here, and when the third bell rang after an incense stick of time, a crack appeared in the sky.

Lu Lingzi, the incarnation of the empress, walked out of the crack and landed here in one step.

Lin Kun and the other two quickly stood up to greet him.

The empress nodded slightly, sat cross-legged in mid-air, closed her eyes and said nothing.

After the fourth bell rang, the empress's eyes slowly opened and closed. Opposite her, five figures walked out of the void.

The leader, wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown, appeared, and the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. Whether it was Lin Kun and others, or the cultivators surrounding them, or even the rulers of all parties in the entire East Demon Feather who were secretly paying attention to this place...

Everyone was shocked and lowered their heads.

"I have met the emperor."

The person who came was none other than the Demon Feather Emperor of this generation.

Five people followed behind him.

Three boys and two girls.

A middle-aged man with a red face, a hunchbacked old man, a jade-faced young man, and two women wearing palace clothes and a green shirt respectively.

They are naturally the entrants from Xi Moyu's side.

"Are all the people gathered?"

The Demon Feather Emperor who descended here spoke lightly.

Faced with his pressure, everyone was instinctively frightened, except for the empress, who looked calm and spoke in a calm voice.

"There are two more."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mo Yu looked at the empress meaningfully and smiled slightly.

"They're here too."

As soon as these words were spoken, immortal music echoed in the sky, and a group of immortal masters appeared in the sky with their support staffs and carrying a huge sedan chair.

There was a woman sitting in the sedan chair.

He was still looking proud, but the next moment...

"come over."

The empress spoke.

The woman's body shook and she immediately flew out, heading straight for the empress. When she got close to her, she stood aside obediently.

At the same time, Xu Qing's figure, surrounded by blood mist, roared in the sky. He arrived in an instant and also stood beside the empress.

At this moment, there are six people on each side.

The Empress and the Demon Feather Emperor are in the lead, with five people behind them each.

"Emperor Mingyan is the supreme ruler of my Demon Feather Holy Land."

After glancing at Xu Qing and Erniu, Emperor Moyu spoke slowly.

"I don't agree with opening their secluded place."

"But Lu Ling is his disciple, and the other disciples of Emperor Mingyan also agree with this, so it is difficult for me to refuse."

"But I have a request, and you must obey it! When you enter this time, your main purpose is to investigate, and you must not disturb the Great Emperor's practice."

"If the great emperor unfortunately dies... then you should bow to me three times and don't disturb me any further."

As Emperor Moyu spoke, his voice became sharper.

Everyone clasped their fists to show their obedience.

Seeing everyone like this, Emperor Moyu's expression eased a little. He turned around and stared at the huge Taoist platform with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. After a while, he sighed softly.

"The place where the Dark Flame Emperor was in seclusion looks like a Taoist platform, but in fact it is a mysterious outer world that the Emperor obtained from the starry sky."

"If he really perishes, and therefore the Heaven Beyond Heaven is closed, his life's memories will turn into a world and fill it."

“It may contain the inheritance of the great emperor.”

"Before the Great Emperor returned, his training and experiences in the starry sky were mysterious and unknown to anyone, so no one knows his memories either."

"Out of respect for the Great Emperor, I hope that if you see this, you won't tell anyone else."

As he spoke, Emperor Mo Yu shook his head, took a step forward, and arrived at the top of the platform. He sat down cross-legged and waved his hand. Suddenly, the entire platform roared, and it instantly became bright from its original dimness.

"Please do as you please. During this time, I will be your guardian here."

At this moment, the Taoist platform was shining brightly, the voice of the Demon Feather Emperor echoed, and the heaven and earth shook.

Dong Moyu, all the masters opened their eyes and stared at this place.

The same is true for Xi Moyu's side.

All independent cultivators and families are like this.

It is attracting everyone's attention.

Amid the convergence of countless gazes and divine thoughts, the empress walked towards the platform. There was no grand opening, nor any complicated ceremony. She only had the third eye between her eyebrows shining.

Then drops of blood seeped out of his body.

That is the blood of the Lan family and the Great Emperor.

It exudes mystery and contains rules and laws.

The blood gathered in front of the empress and fell on the platform. Under the gaze of the third purpose, it slowly formed a bloody vortex, which seemed to have opened up a path as it spun rumblingly.

Then, the empress took a step forward without any hesitation and disappeared inside.

Xu Qing and Erniu did not hesitate either, following closely behind and rushing in quickly.

Next came the Yun family's young master, Lin Kun, the young man from the Ninth Lord Mountain, and everyone from Xi Moyu. After they all stepped in, the blood that formed the vortex turned into mist and dispersed.

The vortex also disappeared.

"A big drama with ulterior motives..."

On the top of the Taoist platform, Emperor Moyu opened his eyes, looked down, and murmured in his heart.

……

Inside the place where Emperor Mingyan was in seclusion, Xu Qing didn't know how the others were doing now, but he frowned at this moment.

The moment he entered the vortex, he felt a flash before his eyes. When everything became clear, he heard music, smelled rouge, and saw singing and dancing...

The place where he was was actually a huge and luxurious palace with carved railings and jade walls. Inside, there were at least a thousand women, wearing gauze skirts that were extremely thin and most of them were translucent.

The skin is faintly visible, revealing a heart-stirring feeling.

In this palace, people are either singing and dancing, or having sex, which makes the whole hall look extremely luxurious, and the sound is even more so.

Moreover, these women are from all ethnic groups and have different body shapes, but they are all stunningly beautiful. Any one of them is quite stunning when viewed alone.

Now, everyone was looking at him cautiously and eagerly, and the fire in their eyes seemed to be able to burn everything.

Xu Qing was frightened by what he saw.

Looking in all directions outside the palace, this was an unknown continent, and within the range of Xu Qing’s spiritual sense... he didn’t even see another male besides himself.

It's as if this is a country of women.

As for himself, he was no longer in his original appearance, but had transformed into a young man, sitting upright on the highest throne in the hall, like an emperor.

There were delicious drinks, immortal fruits and magical meats in front of him.

"Is this the world formed from a memory of the Dark Flame Emperor?"

Xu Qing murmured.

The same murmurs also came from Erniu's mouth on a desolate ancient star.

Erniu was a little stunned.

He looked around.

This is a barren and desolate planet. The sky is gray, the ground is black, and there is no vegetation.

Everywhere he looked, he saw rotten flesh and bones everywhere. He even saw countless excrement and many huge maggots wriggling around in the room. Some of them were crawling towards him.

The stench filled the air and made people feel sick.

Like hell on earth.

He himself was a half-rotted corpse, with his eyes open, staring blankly at the surroundings.

"Is this... a world formed by the memory fragments of Emperor Mingyan? Why is his memory like this..."

"Are the others here too?"

Erniu was frightened, and then instinctively turned his eyes to the maggots crawling towards him, trying to see if Xiao Aqing was among them.
