Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

The exploration of the dragon grave just began. Naturally, the ten could not stop here to rest. The group continued on the winding road. After the forest, they experienced several dangers no lesser than that of the Dragon Blood Bugs before finally arriving where the body was buried.

This was the place where the True Dragon was buried and the valuable burial items were placed.

“Strange, why is there a row of words here?”

Yang Kai, who was the first to step into the burial grounds, had exceedingly good eyes and noticed a row of words on a stone wall.

“Let me see.”

The moment Yang Kai said that, he immediately piqued everyone’s interest. The dark-skinned man forced his way through and read out loud what was written on the wall word for word, “The Dragon’s Gate’s Azure Emperor was here.”

[TL Note: The line “the Dragon’s Gate’s Azure Emperor was here” is likely a nod to the famous story of the Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong fled from the Amitabha Buddha in a bet and thought that he reached the ends of the world. So he left similar words on the mountains there and marked it with his urine. Later on, when he returned to the Amitabha Buddha, it was found that those mountains were actually the fingers of the Amitabha Buddha. The bet was whether Sun Wukong could flee from his palms or not; Sun Wukong’s starting point was also on the Amitabha Buddha’s palm.]

The Dragon’s Gate’s Azure Emperor was here!

When the dark-skinned man read out this line, it completely stunned him. The others were all stunned as well.

Similar pranks to this could be seen everywhere. It was normally something that people would laugh at and ignore. However, this happened in this Eight Star dragon grave.

Furthermore, it was an Eight Star dragon grave that no one should have visited before.

For a person from ten thousand years ago to have played such a joke like this was somewhat unexpected.

“Let me see if this is real or not. This is too amusing!”

The fatso was in disbelief as he pushed aside the dark-skinned man and looked carefully. There was indeed a row of characters of an average size on the stone walls.

Written in cursive, the words contained a strong might, which allowed these simple characters to remain perfectly preserved even after ten thousand years.

Yang Kai frowned and said, “It is hard to say. However, the person who wrote this could tear apart space and directly barge into the dragon grave. He is definitely an expert. The words he left also have a formless might with his spirit infused into it. This person is at least a Sovereign Martial Emperor.”

Yang Kai’s cultivation was the highest here. As a half-step Martial Emperor, his conclusion was convincing.

“If the Azure Emperor already came ten thousand years ago, how could there be any good things left? We made this trip for nothing.”

“This is really depressing. After clearing all the various stages and arriving at the burial ground, we still come up empty.”

“It is hard to say. The Azure Emperor might not have cared about these burial items. He might have just been passing by and not touched anything.

The group discussed the row of words that suddenly appeared. This development startled all ten cultivators, resulting in them debating a lot of things.

The one that the words shocked the most was naturally Xiao Chen. He had seen several paintings of the Azure Emperor and was very familiar with the Azure Emperor’s aura. Based on the might coming from the words, he was confident that they were the Azure Emperor’s.

Xiao Chen was very sure of it; he could not be wrong.

As he stood before this stone wall, he appeared somewhat distracted. He stretched out his hand and touched the words.

The moment he touched the words, his expression changed drastically as he took ten steps back.

Xiao Chen looked at these words in horror. The Azure Emperor actually left behind a frightening Martial Technique in these words. The instant he touched the words, he felt an aura that could destroy the world.

There was nothing in the boundless space, only a saber chopped down on him. It was like he was about to be destroyed by this saber without any means to resist.

This was the scene that Xiao Chen just saw. Under the cover of the words was a powerful killing move.

What was the Azure Emperor trying to do?

Xiao Chen was shaken. He just knew that the Azure Emperor would not leave words behind for no reason at all. He thought about the various strange things he saw earlier when first entering. This dragon grave was definitely extraordinary.

“Don’t touch it carelessly. These are the words left by a great power. The might in there is incomparable. It contains the energy and might of a great power as well as killing intent and aura. Be careful, or you might end up losing your life.”

Yang Kai warned when he saw Xiao Chen backing away.

These words caused the other people who wanted to touch the words to abandon that thought.

Xiao Chen glanced at Yang Kai and did not mention his discovery. He said, “Thank you. I’m fine.”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s quickly go over and take a look, see if the burial items in the dragon grave are still there or not. That is the more important thing!”

The fatso whose face was bandaged up changed the topic, speaking in something of a rush.

Yang Kai shot a glance over and said, “Come with me. We will follow what was agreed. If there are any burial items, I will take twenty percent. After that, you will split the rest evenly. I will also be the one to manage the treasures in this place.”

“Sure thing. Boss Yang, don’t worry,” the dark-skinned man said.

The others all expressed that they did not have any objections, either. Now, Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction and quickly headed for the burial ground in a flash.

In the depths of the rough cave where the bones were buried, the group saw a set of upright True Dragon bones. There were also boxes that were filled to the brim beside the bones.

These boxes probably contained the burial goods. However, they did not know if anyone had opened them before.

The True Dragon remains were still there. So everyone heaved a sigh of relief. With this set of True Dragon remains, they would not make a loss on this trip.

“That’s not right. The True Dragon remains of an Eight Star dragon grave should still have its might even after millions of years. Although this set of True Dragon bones are huge, two hundred meters long, and its bones give off a sheen, it is still not worthy of an Eight Star dragon grave.”

The straw-caped old man’s eyes lit up like lanterns when he saw this set of True Dragon bones. However, he immediately voiced out his doubts.

The others suddenly felt enlightened and noticed this strangeness as well.

“This is probably not the main burial site. The remains of the dragon grave’s master are probably somewhere else.”

“There is no need to care so much for now. These boxes are intact. The burial items are still inside. Let’s split the items here first before speaking about other things.”

The expression on Yang Kai’s face said that he did not care much for this problem. While speaking, he opened a box.

“Damn! That’s a lot of Essence Stones!”

Seeing the treasures in the box, everyone could not help crying out in surprise. Bright Essence Stones filled the box neatly in rows. There were at least two thousand of them.

Yang Kai held back the excitement in his heart as he continued to open another box—it likewise brimmed with Essence Stones.

He opened all twelve boxes. Out of the twelve, ten contained Essence Stones. When piled together, they were like a small mountain.

The total count of the Essence Stones exceeded twenty-five thousand, prompting a smile from everyone. This trip was worth it already.

The other two boxes had various Dragon Race Secret Treasures. Without exception, they were all peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasures, at least twenty of them.

No wonder there were so many adventurers in the Dragon Grave Sea. Before they finished searching the dragon grave, they already had such gains. This place was indeed a holy land for adventuring, worthy of people coming in droves.

Yang Kai said, “Good, we will split them now. According to the rules, I get five thousand Essence Stones. I will also pick four peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasures. As for the True Dragon bones, let’s not divide them. After we go out, let’s sell them as a set and split the profits.”

Although the others were no happy with this split, they could still accept it.

After all, Yang Kai was the strongest here, and he was the one who discovered the dragon grave. There were also a lot of burial items here as well.

Xiao Chen did not mind this. He had the most miscellaneous gains along the way and was satisfied already.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Just as Yang Kai was about to split the treasures for everyone, a group of unwelcome guests emerged from the entrance of the burial ground in front.

The leader of this group was the bald Wu Ke, who stopped Dugu Ao back then, the half-step Martial Emperor with a snake tattooed on his head.

With Wu Ke as the leader, his group also had ten people. Unlike Yang Kai’s helpers, they were all Consummation quasi-Emperors. Their strength was no weaker than that of Yang Kai’s group.

Seeing the pile of Essence Stones, that group’s eyes immediately lit up with obvious greed.

When this group suddenly appeared, Xiao Chen’s side all instantly raised their guard and looked coldly at the newcomers.

Although meeting another team in a dragon grave that was being explored for the first time was rather surprising, everyone here was experienced and did not panic.

Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Wu Ke, unexpectedly you managed to find this dragon grave as well.”

The bald Wu Ke smiled coldly and said, “I was thinking it was strange and wondering who came in before we did. It turns out that it is you. In that case, it is not surprising.”

“Cut the crap! The burial items in here are barely enough to split between two teams. If you are willing, I can give half to you,” Yang Kai said. He knew Wu Ke’s strength. If he could resolve this peacefully, he would do so.

A murderous intent flashed in Wu Ke’s left eye, which was overlapped by the tattooed snake’s head. “Don’t you know the way I work?”

“Attack!”

Since things could not be resolved peacefully, Yang Kai decisively made a choice, saying “attack” at the same time as Wu Ke did.

Suddenly, a great battle commenced with just this.

In this rather vast burial ground, Yang Kai and Wu Ke fought each other first. The people of the two sides did not hesitate. They all chose their opponents and fought.

The middle-aged sword-wielding couple faced a pair of Fiend Race brothers who worked equally well with each other.

The fatso with half his face covered saw a pretty lady on the other side. It was hard to change his lascivious nature, so he laughed and rushed over, wanting to fight this person.

“I am your opponent.”

Halfway through the fatso’s charge, a middle-aged man brandishing a spear blocked him, disappointing and enraging him.

The straw-caped old man sighed. With a flash of his figure, he headed for an old man on the other side that seemed similarly ancient.

A killing Qi surged from the Silver Shark Race woman as she faced the pretty lady that the fatso initially targeted. This lady looked incredibly pretty, but her flickering gaze was incomparably cold, making one tremble in fear.

Dugu Ao faced another cultivator who was also a Demon mixed-blood. The other party was also a youth. They not only seemed to know each other but also seemed to have some grudge between them.

When Xiao Chen saw this chaotic battle, he found it strange. This was too much of a coincidence.

Their team just happened to meet another team at the burial ground. There were so many opportunities earlier, but they had not met.

Xiao Chen could not be blamed for thinking this way. He had always been cautious and liked to think one step ahead to be prepared.

This team that was put together at the last minute was not really familiar with each other. Anything could happen.

However, no one could avoid the start of this chaotic battle.

This situation did not allow Xiao Chen any time to dwell on the strangeness. His opponent appeared as well. The incoming person was also a bladesman. This bladesman wore tight black robes and possessed a pair of sharp eyes, looking very experienced.
