Five Frozen Centuries

The blind old man had finally arrived after waiting for so long. It was rumored that there were many treasures, spirit herbs, and immortal herbs in the Immortal Tomb. Any one of them would be priceless.

The blind old man had seven disciples, and there were three Epic-ranked experts who were unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

If they entered the tomb with a Legendary creature, their chances of survival would increase greatly. How could they miss such an opportunity? Besides, Wei Huo had already told them that he would leave after the tomb was explored.

The Epic-ranked creatures were elated. If Wei Huo left, wouldn’t they have the final say?

Apart from the eleven of them, Wei Huo also chose 72 Rare-ranked creatures. He had asked them to set up the Human-Slaughtering Array. The name of the Human-Slaughtering Array was not pleasant to the ears, so Wei Huo changed its name to Immortal-Trapping Array.

Over the past five years, Wei Huo had improved the Immortal-Trapping Array. It could shoot out freezing beams and freeze trapped creatures. Its lethality was much weaker than the Human-Slaughtering Array’s lethality, but its ability to trap people was at least three times stronger!

That day, Wei Huo arrived at the tomb’s entrance. He took out the Ruyi Pagoda and spent three hours collecting the Mystic Ice Domain’s power.

The blind old man praised him. “Congratulations on becoming stronger!”

The group of Naga started sucking up to him. “Since the King has personally taken action, the Immortal Tomb will definitely be easy to explore. There’s no need to worry.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Why did those words sound so familiar?

The blind old man said, “Your Majesty is extremely powerful. The treasures and immortal pills in the Immortal Tomb are easy to obtain. We would like to congratulate you on your success in advance.”

Wei Huo was speechless. What were these people doing?

Wei Huo thought of a classic work of literature about robbing an Immortal Tomb. Every time someone important led a team into the tomb, someone would praise them. However, they would all be destroyed in less than 15 minutes. Every time the main character was forced into the tomb, he would obtain good things and survive.

Wei Huo interrupted them. “In my opinion, this tomb is not simple. Everyone be careful. Let’s go in.”

The blind old man nodded. “Let’s not miss this auspicious day. Enter the tomb quickly. You two, open the tomb quickly!”

The Naga mumbled silently. How could a tomb raid be described as an auspicious day?

In one particular month and day, setting off on a tomb-raiding expedition would be beneficial.

The blind old man’s two disciples mumbled to themselves as they opened the bronze gate.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

A fragrance blew out of the door. As everyone smelled it, the blind old man’s expression changed. “This is not good. Quickly, cover your mouths and noses!”

His two disciples covered their mouths and noses and knelt on the ground. Meanwhile, they thought to themselves, We’re doomed!

All the Naga were shocked. Were they going to lose people before even entering the tomb?

Wei Huo took a big step forward. “Follow me!”

Although there was a fragrance in the wind, it was not poisonous. It even felt a little refreshing. Not only did he not feel dizzy after smelling it, but he even felt that his head was particularly clear.

Many people were confused. Was this a tomb?

Behind the bronze gate was a tunnel. A white light was emitted from its front, and it was emitting a faint heat as if it had arrived on the surface.

The blind old man followed Wei Huo closely and shouted, “Everyone be careful! There are traps everywhere in the Immortal Tomb. If you’re not careful, you’ll die. There must be danger ahead. It’s best to prepare for battle!”

The group of Naga took out their weapons and became alert.

They followed Wei Huo out of the tunnel and saw a lotus pond. There was a huge fireball above their heads. It was a powerful spirit weapon that could emit light and heat. Below it was a wide lotus pond. The lotus flowers were blooming, and there were water droplets on the lotus leaves.

A breeze blew and the lotus leaves swayed. The water droplets landed in the water and emitted a ding-dong-dong sound. The breeze carried the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Wei Huo glanced at the blind old man. “Is this the Immortal Tomb you mentioned?”

The group was confused. Where was the trap? Where was the danger? This was obviously a lotus pond.

The blind old man was also confused. He mumbled to himself, “That shouldn’t be the case…”

Wei Huo lifted his head and looked at the ‘sun’. It was not a real sun, but a powerful spirit treasure. This spirit treasure had been burning for countless years, providing light and heat. That was the only way to make the lotus flowers bloom again.

A golden light shot out of the blind old man’s glabella. He activated his Heavenly Eye and used it to observe the layout of the lotus pond.

There were paths and pavilions built on the lotus pond. Not far away, there was a stone bridge. The lotus flowers were blooming and filled with life. This did not seem like a tomb at all. Instead, it looked like a backyard.

Moments later, the blind old man was shocked. “No, something’s wrong with the lotus pond. My Divine Sense can’t spread!”

The blind old man was also an imposing expert. He had Divine Sense and could move objects through space. However, he had suddenly realized that he could not extend his Divine Sense.

The three Epic-ranked experts in the team were facing the same problem. They were shocked. Their Spiritual Force aside, they could not even spread their imposing aura. Epic-ranked creatures without an imposing aura were no different from Rare-ranked creatures.

Everyone was panicking. Only Wei Huo remained calm. His domain had been suppressed by more than half. He felt the pressure but did not panic. He just asked the old blind man, who had been observing the situation with his Heavenly Eye, “Where should we go now?”

The Sun above him was definitely a treasure, but now was not the time to take it. He had to go deep inside and find the real tomb first.

The blind old man observed the place with his Heavenly Eye while saying, “This place is dangerous. We can’t act rashly. We can’t touch anything either. Otherwise, disaster will befall us.”

Crack! Crack!

At that moment, a crisp chewing sound came from behind them. This sound gave everyone a shock. They turned around and saw a Naga holding a lotus seed in his hand. He was chewing on a lotus seed and enjoying it.

He immediately shut his mouth and looked at everyone in confusion.

Everyone was speechless.

Didn’t we agree not to touch anything?

The blind old man was confused. “How could this be? Could the tomb owner not have set up any traps?”

Wei Huo was already moving forward. He had guessed the truth by now. Firstly, they had yet to enter the tomb, so they had not encountered any real danger. Secondly, the owner of the tomb was really powerful. He was confident that they would not want to set up any traps.

On the surface, the owner of the tomb might not seem to be dead yet. If they went in, they might be walking to their deaths!

The blind old man used his Heavenly Eye to observe and shouted, “Your Majesty, there’s something wrong with that stone bridge! That might be the real entrance to the tomb!”

Wei Huo arrived at the only bridge in the lotus pond. On one side of the bridge were the two words ‘Divine Bridge’.

Wei Huo was not sure what those words meant. He released his domain and observed the stone bridge carefully. In the end, he lifted his head and looked at the lotus leaf in the distance. The lotus leaf was stuck to the water surface, but there was a palm-sized door on it.

It was a door standing on a lotus leaf!
