Chapter 1111: Serene King Huang Han
“In the beginning, the reason why I invited you to go with me was to use your human cultivator status to dispel a special enchantment in the Tomb of Serene King.” Yin Liu said lightly.
“If senior needs disciple’s help, I can help senior before finding the Nine-Turn Serene Core.” Liu Ming said calmly after thinking about it.
“The enchantment is quite special, and the chances of being destroyed by a non-Serene Clan cultivator will be much greater. However, the moment the enchantment is destroyed, it will also produce a turbulent flow of space destruction. Even the celestial cultivator will hardly be spared. But now I know that your identity is related to my previous life, I of course won’t do it anymore. Mr. Liu, I wonder if you are interested in making a deal with me?” Yin Liu said with a slight smile.
“Deal?” Liu Ming showed a puzzled look.
“Yes, as you can see, I have been here before, so I know several places where the Serene Kings passed away. One of the enchantments should be easier for you as a human to reach. In addition, you seem to be practicing Hell Bone Secret as your main technique. This technique is rarely spread outside. I believe you still don’t have the real complete technique yet right?” Yin Liu said meaningfully.
Liu Ming’s body shook when he heard the words. There was a rare trace of excitement on his face, but it was fleeting.
The Nine-Turn Serene Core was related to whether he could leave the deepest underworld, and the top priority other than that was to find the later half of Hell Bone Secret.
In the past few years, he had been inquiring, but he got nothing unfortunately. He even made up his mind to give up the technique and choose another one. How could he not be excited when hearing this at this moment!?
“What does Senior Liuyin want me to do?” Liu Ming took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and asked.
“It’s not a difficult thing, Mr. Liu is very strong and has an extraordinary mind. It is very possible that you will advance to Celestial State and even Mystic Comprehending State in the future. I just want you to make a promise that when you become successful in the future, don’t forget to take care of Silver Spring Valley Family Long and the Savage Ghost Sect of the Yunchuan Island.” Yin Liu said solemnly.
“The junior was a Savage Ghost Sect disciple back then and Senior Sister Apprentice Long is even my good friend, so I have no problem with these 2 matters.” Liu Ming was a little stunned at first, but he nodded quickly and said.
“You are really easy to talk with.” Yin Liu nodded with a relaxed expression. He didn’t ask Liu Ming to make any oath. Instead, he took out a blank jade slip and put it on his forehead. He closed his eyes and recorded something into it.
After a while, he finished recording, threw the jade slip over, and said,
“I have marked 2 locations in it and some enchantments that need to be aware along the way. In addition to the Nine-Turn Serene Core, the other place is where the Serene King who rose because of Hell Bone Secret passed away. The complete Hell Bone Secret should be there, but the enchantment there is very powerful too. With Mr. Liu’s human identity, it should not be difficult to obtain.”
Liu Ming took the jade slip and checked it a little. After nodding, he raised one hand and swore aloud,
“I, Liu Ming, hereby promise that if Silver Spring Valley Family Long and Savage Ghost Sect are in trouble, I will do whatever I can to help without hesitation.”
Seeing this, Yin Liu showed a smile on his face,
“In this case, you and I will act separately here. After 3 months, we will meet at this valley. I have a way to bring us away.” After Yin Liu said a sentence, he turned into a black light and flew into the valley.
Liu Ming looked at Yin Liu’s back and pondered for a while before placing the jade slip given by Yin Liu on his forehead and checking it carefully.
After 15 minutes, he sorted out the map he had obtained from Dong Hao, and he finally had a clear understanding of the “Tomb of Serene King”.
Although the space here was located in the center of the endless mountain range between the 2 Serene Regions, it was also vast and boundless. With the huge valley in front as the center, the south was full of ice and snow, the north was densely covered with jungle, the east was deserted and the west had a rolling hell river. It seemed to be a world of its own.
The past Serene Kings were scattered in all directions.
When Liu Ming was about to close the jade slip, he turned his eyes to the south. After thinking for a moment, he turned into a black light and disappeared into the horizon.
A few days later.
The sky was snowing heavily. Countless gray snowflakes whistled in the yin wind, making the already gloomy Tomb of Serene King even more gloomy and biting.
On the gray snow, a row of footprints was originally clearly visible, but after a burst of yin wind, the footsteps became blurred.
At the very front of the footprints, a young man in a green robe was advancing step by step against the wind and snow.
This person was Liu Ming.
At this moment, his whole body was enveloped by a faint layer of black air to resist the intrusion of wind and snow.
What he was going to was exactly what Yin Liu told him. It was a relatively easy place to get the Nine-Turn Serene Core. According to him, deep in the snow to the south, there was a desolate temple, which was the place where the Serene King “Huang Han” passed away.
Along the way, according to the guidance of Yin Liu’s map, he avoided and destroyed all the dangerous enchantments, and the ghost creatures he encountered along the way were mostly in the Crystallization Period later stage to the Real Pellet State period. He easily got rid of them with swift attacks.
In this way, Liu Ming walked while resting at a very slow speed. Finally, he stepped into this gray snow field with heavy snow.
But as soon as the other party entered this area, he found that an anti-flying enchantment was set up here. Once he flew, the gray snowflakes in the sky would condense into sharp icicles and shoot at him.
Each icicle was equivalent to the full blow of a Crystallization Period cultivator. Even though Liu Ming was physically strong, he couldn’t withstand such a dense attack.
He had to walk on foot.
It didn’t take long for Liu Ming to stop. He looked forward with a squint.
Through the gray snowflakes, he could see the shadows of a few lonely snow-capped mountains in the distance.
On the top of one of the relatively short snow-capped mountains, a small temple could be vaguely seen.
“It’s here!”
Liu Ming’s eyes lit up. He walked forward at a faster pace.
An hour later, Liu Ming stood on a platform on the top of the short snow-capped mountain. 300 meters in front, a simple two-story temple was located there.
There was no decoration on the temple except the thick snow; not even a plaque.
If he wasn’t in the deepest underworld and it was clearly marked on the map, Liu Ming almost thought this was just an insignificant nameless temple.
After taking a few glances, his face suddenly became uncertain. After a while, he lightly patted his shoulder with one hand. Che Huan phantasm flashed out and roared before returning into his body.
Seeing this, Liu Ming looked relieved and walked toward the temple gate.
According to the map given by Yin Liu, this small temple looked peaceful, but it was actually covered with a large number of enchantments. Most of these enchantments were only effective against the Serene Clan and ghost creatures. The rest of the enchantments weren’t a big deal for Liu Ming.
But just now, Luo Hu suddenly made a sound transmission, letting him hide his aura and walk in directly like a mortal.
When he asked the reason, Luo Hu said nothing.
Although Liu Ming was a little skeptical at first, he finally decided to give it a try.
As a result, the following scene made him overjoyed.
He actually went straight into the temple like there wasn’t any enchantment.
The first floor of the temple was not large, only about 300 meters in size. There was a stone platform in each of the 3 corners. A Serene Clan man statue in blue armor was sitting on each of the platforms.
In addition, this place looked a little messy. Many traces left by fierce battles could be seen.
“These should be the 3 Celestial State guards under Serene King Huang Han back then. They actually sacrificially refined themselves into puppets and guard this place until now. They are really loyal.” Liu Ming glanced at the 3 statues before muttering to himself.
When Yin Liu entered the Tomb of Serene King for the first time as Liu Yin, he once passed through this place and took away many treasures left by “Huang Hang”. One of the treasures recorded his life story. It mentioned the 3 loyal guards. Each of them had a strength no less than the Celestial State, but they were willing to follow Huang Han to this place.
When Yin Liu gave Liu Ming’s map jade slip, he marked these in it.
Liu Yin accidentally triggered these 3 guards. After a fierce fight, he didn’t take the rest of the treasures including the Nine-Turn Serene Core.
Once a wisp of the Serene Clan or ghost creature’s yin qi leaked out, these 3 Celestial State puppets would be activated immediately and kill the intruder.
After Liu Ming glanced at the first floor of the hall, he walked straight to the unguarded corner.
When walking to the second floor through the wooden ladder, Liu Ming couldn’t help but be startled for a while.
There were 3 side-by-side secret rooms on the second floor. The middle and rightmost ones had long been opened.
The room on the far right looked empty, and the items inside had been emptied.
The secret room in the middle was very narrow. It was only 9 meters in length and width.
On a futon in the middle of the secret room, a lifelike young man sat cross-legged.
The man wore a blue jade crown, a blue robe and a jade belt. His face was elegant and refined. There is a small cluster of black short beards on his chin.
“This must be Huang Han who was overpowered back then.”
After letting out Divine Thought and carefully checking for a dozen minutes, he heaved a long breath and murmured.
