Chapter 362: Everyone, Interested In Exploring The Tomb?
It turned out that the Dao Imparting Tablet was the true key to opening the Immortal Abode Island’s tomb.
The Sages looked at the imperial tablet with complicated feelings. At the same time, they also looked at Shen Tian, who was sitting in front of the tablet.
They had heard that the Golden Crow Thearch had nine children, and each of them had unparalleled talent and extraordinary strength that could intimidate the five regions and eight wilderness.
However, the Golden Crow Thearch’s nine children had all died without exception during a catastrophe. Thus afterward, the Golden Crow Thearch was all alone.
He did not have any successor. Even though he had countless servants and subordinates, no one was his disciple.
Even after the Golden Crow Thearch had ascended, he had not left any successor behind, only this tomb.
Now it seemed that the Golden Crow Thearch was using the tomb to search for his successor.
As long as someone could understand the Imperial Sutra of Sun on the Dao Imparting Tablet to a certain degree, then the forbidden array that the Golden Crow Thearch had left behind would be triggered.
The Dao Imparting Tablet would then be activated and unleash that ball of True Sun Fire essence hidden within. Then at the same time, those arrays in the whole Immortal Abode Island would disappear, and the tomb would be opened.
That’s right, that ball of reddish-gold flame was the essence of the True Sun Fire.
That ball of flame was quite small, so it should be a small portion separated from the Golden Crow Thearch’s True Sun Fire essence.
However, no matter how small it was, it was the essence of the True Sun Fire that was ranked second on the Exceptional Fire List. If its power could be completely unleashed, it would make even Tribulation Transcendence experts terrified.
If any Sage could obtain this ball of True Sun Fire essence and successfully absorb it, then the Sage’s strength would definitely be able to increase explosively or even overwhelm any powerful enemy that was a whole cultivation stage above.
It would definitely be possible for a Third Tribulation to defeat a Four Tribulation and a Five Tribulation to win against a Six Tribulation Sage!
In that instant, countless gazes filled with envy were fixed upon Shen Tian.
Some Sages might have already made a move and killed Shen Tian if not for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader still present on Immortal Abode Island. It was the True Sun Fire, after all!
At that moment, whispering and murmuring sounds could be heard in the crowd.
“Originally, I thought that the Golden Crow Thearch would bring the True Sun Fire and Thearch artifact to the Celestial World or leave it within the core area of the tomb. Who would have expected that the True Sun Fire would actually be hidden within this tablet.”
“The Divine Firmament Saint is simply too extraordinary. He’s actually able to comprehend the Imperial Sutra of Sun to the peak stage of ten suns in just one hour, his enlightenment aptitude is simply exceptional!”
“I heard that the Divine Firmament Saint has merged with more than one extraordinary item, and now he has obtained the True Sun Fire too. He’s simply unbelievable.”
“The energy of the extraordinary items is extremely violent, so an ordinary person would be unable to withstand merging two extraordinary items and easily cause an explosion. Why are the extraordinary items in the Divine Firmament Saint’s body so obedient!?”
“Comparisons are odious! The Divine Firmament Saint is able to endure the Sage aura when he’s just a Perfected One and decipher the tablet. If he reaches the Heavenly Venerable Stage, he might even be able to easily kill Sages!”
“Another mighty figure is emerging from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and even an invincible Extreme Dao Paragon. How lucky the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is!”
...
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader also regained his consciousness from the enlightenment state and sensed the exclamations of the surrounding Sages. The heavenly aura around him swayed even more vigorously.
As for those young prodigies outside the circle of Sages, they were even shocked until their jaws dropped.
Especially Princess Linglong of the Middle Ground’s Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, her eyes were filled with admiration.
Originally, she had been under the impression that only the strongest prodigy in this generation of prodigies within the five regions and eight wilderness, the Celestial Dynasty Shi Tianzi, would be able to defeat Shen Tian.
That was already an extremely high evaluation of Shen Tian as the prodigies in Middle Ground were as many as the stars in the sky, and their strength was all the more fearsome in the past 100 years.
The top 10 of the young generation of prodigies in Middle Ground had basically all broken through to the Nascent Soul stage many years ago and could dominate Heavenly Venerables. They could be said to be the golden generation.
Each of those top 10 prodigies would be able to step foot in the other four regions and defeat all forces with their formidable strength; they could be said to be invincible.
Thus, it was definitely an extremely high evaluation when Princess Linglong thought that Shen Tian could defeat those 10 prodigies.
However, Princess Linglong still felt as if she had greatly underestimated Shen Tian even with such a high evaluation.
Shen Tian’s talent might even be on par with that peerless prodigy, Shi Tianzi!
One had to know that it was Shi Tianzi!
If the 10 prodigies of Middle Ground were to be described as the brightest stars in the sky, then Shi Tianzi would be the sun in the young generation of prodigies.
When the sun rose in the sky, all the stars would grow pale instantly.
Meanwhile, in Princess Linglong’s opinion, Shen Tian was like the second sun that might really have the potential to match up to Shi Tianzi.
There is actually such a prodigy in Eastern Wilderness. It’s simply unimaginable.
Incredible!
If Cousin Tianzi learns of the existence of such an extraordinary talent, he’ll most likely come to Immortal Abode Island no matter what!
Sigh... Just how marvelous the battle would be if the two of them really met?
Could Brother Shen really defeat Cousin Tianzi?
Why am I looking forward to it!?
...
Just when everyone was deep in thought, another drastic change occurred to the tablet.
It suddenly soared into the sky, and the huge tablet body turned into a Golden Crow that was tens of thousands of feet in length and was burning with blazing flames throughout.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, that Golden Crow suddenly spread its wings and flew toward Immortal Abode Island’s depths. Meanwhile, flames could also be seen shooting out vigorously from Immortal Abode Island’s depths suddenly.
A huge reddish-gold cauldron slowly rose up in that endless fire, and countless avatars were formed around it.
That huge reddish-gold cauldron was surrounded by True Sun Fire, which was tens of thousands of miles in circumference, dyeing the whole sky reddish-gold. There was even the Nine Sun avatar around it.
Everyone looked at that divine cauldron and was instantly blinded as if they were truly looking at the sun.
They even had the urge of wanting to kneel down and kowtow to worship it.
“Thearch artifact, that’s the supreme Thearch artifact that the Golden Crow Thearch had forged!”
“It’s the Divine Sun Cauldron! The Golden Crow Thearch really did not bring the Divine Sun Cauldron with him before ascending. Instead, he left it in the tomb.”
“Look, that Dao Imparting Tablet turned into a ball of True Sun Fire essence and merged with the Divine Sun Cauldron! The Thearch artifact is being revived. Look, the space around it directly turned into nothingness!
“If we could obtain this Divine Sun Cauldron, then the Nine Sun Sacred Ground would be able to expand by several times since it’s one of the top Thearch artifacts!”
“Haha, keep on dreaming. This Divine Sun Cauldron is obviously what the Golden Crow Thearch had left for his successor. The Divine Firmament Saint had already understood the miraculous Imperial Sutra of Sun and opened the tomb, so do you still think you can obtain the Divine Sun Cauldron?”
“That’s right, that Sage from your Nine Sun Sacred Ground even tried to snatch the tablet. When the Divine Firmament Saint becomes stronger in the future, you’ll be lucky if he doesn’t take revenge and cause trouble for you.”
“Looks like we have no hope in getting the Thearch artifact and supreme heritage. It’s more realistic to just get a few treasures when the tomb is open.”
...
Amongst the sounds of conversation, the various sects decided not to delay it any further.
The tomb was right there, and the treasures in there were just that many. It all depended on how fast one was, and getting anything was also a gain.
In an instant, countless people fought to enter the tomb.
However, Shen Tian was not in a hurry. He looked at the various prodigies as if he was observing something.
Shen Tian’s eyes gradually lit up. “Brother Qi, Brother Wang, Brother Chen, Brother Kun Ming, Princess Linglong, Princess Kun Yu, Princess Kong Meng...
“Are all of you interested in traveling with me to explore this Golden Crow’s Tomb?”
