They followed the soil and went deep underground. A cold feeling filled their bodies.
Xu Jiajia could not help but sigh. “Did Wang Chongyang stay in this environment for a few years? How much perseverance did he have to do this?”
Upon hearing that, Su Yun smiled and sighed. “Cultivation has to be far away from the mortal world”
Just as Su Yun finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. “Young friend, you’re young, but you’re quite insightful. This sentence coincided with the thoughts of the Ancestral Master at that time. The Ancestral Master wanted to create a special environment that was isolated from the world and was easy to cultivate.
“Only by changing his mortal body and cutting off the mortal world could he focus on the Dao. It’s really a pity. Before the Ancestral Master died, his only last words were: Regret that I didn’t enter the Dao in this life and can’t see the ancestor of the Dao cultivation in the future.”
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia turned around in the direction of the voice. Only then did they notice an old Daoist in tattered clothes. He was holding a lunch box whose original color could no longer be seen clearly and was sitting in a corner eating white rice.
Su Yun took a few steps forward in puzzlement. He found the person in front of him a little strange. “Daoist, isn’t this the scenic area? Why are there still daoists?”
The old Daoist priest did not look up. He looked at the white rice in the lunch box seriously and ate with relish. “The Chongyang Palace is the scenic area. Very few tourists come here. The entire Tomb of the Living Dead was divided into two. The first half was set up as a scenic area. The second half of the area is inherited by our lineage of cultivators.”
“An inheritance?” Su Yun grasped the main point of this sentence and looked at the old Daoist priest in front of him in confusion. “Daoist priest, are you from the Quanzhen Sect? But from what I know, hasn’t the Quanzhen Sect already established a new sect on Mount Kunyu?”
The old Daoist priest looked up at Su Yun curiously. As the old Daoist priest was sitting and Su Yun was standing, when the old Daoist priest looked up, he could see Su Yun’s face. The lunch box in the old Daoist priest’s hand immediately fell to the ground. Immediately after, the old Daoist priest looked at Su Yun in shock and asked in disbelief, “You… You’re Layperson Su Yun?”
Just as Su Yun nodded, the old Daoist priest immediately knelt down. Fortunately, Su Yun grabbed the old Daoist priest’s arm in time. “Daoist priest, you must not do this. Don’t bow.”
The old Daoist priest looked at Su Yun excitedly as his entire body began to tremble. “I didn’t expect to see the ancestor personally when I’m old!”
The old Daoist priest was about to kneel down again. Su Yun had no choice but to increase the strength in his hand and support the old Daoist priest. “Daoist priest, there’s no need to be excited. Don’t kneel anymore!”
With Su Yun’s words, the old Daoist priest stopped kneeling. However, he was still very excited. At one point, tears streamed down his face. “I didn’t expect that the Master of All Spells would come. Even if I die, I still have the face to see Master!”
Upon hearing that, Su Yun frowned again. The old Daoist priest in front of him always made him feel strange. “Daoist priest, what do you mean? Also, you just said that the second half of the Tomb of the Living Dead was left behind for the descendants of the lineage to comprehend the Dao. What do you mean?”
The old Daoist priest wiped his tears and walked forward excitedly. He said to Su Yun, “Dao Ancestor, please come this way and listen to me explain slowly.”
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia followed the old Daoist priest into the depths of the Tomb of the Living Dead in confusion. He did not stop at the first half of the tourist area. He only stopped when he pushed open a stone door in front of a stone wall.
“Dao Ancestor, crossing this stone door is the place where Grandmaster comprehended the Dao back then. There are some things you don’t know, but after entering, I’ll explain them one by one.”
The old Daoist priest stepped into the stone door first. Su Yun and Xu Jiajia looked at each other and walked in in confusion. The latter half of the area was actually not too big. Just looking at it, everything in front of him looked very ancient.
“This is the place where Grandmaster once faced the wall to comprehend the Dao. After facing the wall for seven years, Grandmaster founded the Quanzhen Sect!”
However, Su Yun was in no mood to listen to what the old Daoist priest had said because at that moment, he finally sensed a familiar aura.
On the wall, there was also a Seven Absolutes Poem carved by Wang Chongyang back then. It was in the handwriting of this Seven Absolutes Poem that there were specks of golden light, indicating the remaining supernatural aura.
This made Su Yun overjoyed. He took a few steps forward, but it was as if he had crossed a thousand years in one step. Su Yun felt as if he had entered Wang Chongyang’s perspective. At that moment, Wang Chongyang was carving this poem on the wall.
“The living dead are the living dead. Wind, fire, earth, and water are all for cause. The tomb will consume true medicinal pills and change into a mortal body.
“The living dead are the living dead. It’s a good cause to die in life. The tomb is silent and real, separating the dust of the mortal world.”
In fact, Su Yun was not unfamiliar with this poem because he had seen it in the library. To his surprise, Wang Chongyang did not stop writing. Instead, he continued writing.
“The living dead are the living dead. Living like the dead was the cause, the worries in the tomb can’t be seen. I’ve turned my mortal heart into dust.”
