Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1150 - 1136: The Cemetery of the Clan, Astonishing Opportunity!

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1136: The Cemetery of the Clan, Astonishing Opportunity!

Third Layer of the Sub-Hall Ruins.

The entirety of the Sub-Hall Ruins appeared grand and luxurious, much like the first and second layers were.

However...

Upon reaching the entrance to the third layer, an eerie and solemn atmosphere began to pervade.

If not for the rumors that something within this third layer could stir the Eternal Sky Tomb itself, even Xiao Yi felt a tinge of apprehension. Could such a place truly possess such treasures?

Huff!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his hands weaving swiftly before him. Streams of light shot forth as arrays of formation stones flew through the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! freewebnσvel.cѳm

Clusters of formation stones, arranged in the pattern of the Seven Stars, locked into place on the grand door leading to the third layer.

With every stone that landed, a deafening bang resounded, echoing endlessly, as if a funeral bell tolled. The deep, oppressing sound sent chills down the spine.

Creaaak!

The heavy doors slowly opened.

Blinding silver light burst forth, so intense that it felt like one’s vision had been temporarily snatched away.

Moments later.

Xiao Yi’s sight gradually returned. Before him appeared an ancient well, its mouth sealed by a massive cyan rock. The rock bore several red sigils, and four dark crimson chains crisscrossed over it, sealing the well completely shut.

Beside the well was a stele, its surface stained with dry, dark crimson blood marks, which immediately captured Xiao Yi’s attention.

Carved upon the stele were four blood-red ancient characters—"Corpse Home Territory!"

These ominous characters were intensely crimson, as if freshly bled from a wound, still faintly pulsating, sending ripples of eerie light radiating outward.

The sinister bloodlight flickered and flowed, with every stroke of the inscription exuding an inexplicable strangeness.

"Corpse Home Territory?"

Xiao Yi could hear an alarmed cry from Jialuo Prison Master near his ear. Clearly, he too had seen the stele. His Primordial Spirit flickered uneasily, as if deeply shaken. "Th-this Sub-Hall is actually the legendary Corpse Home Territory? Why would it be this cursed place? Damn it, thankfully my Formation mastery wasn’t proficient enough to unlock this place..."

Xiao Yi turned to glance at the visibly perturbed Jialuo Prison Master, who was currently in the grasp of the Shura Prison Master, and raised an eyebrow. "You’ve heard of this place?"

"Y-yes!"

The Jialuo Prison Master inhaled deeply, though his face betrayed fear and dread. His gaze repeatedly darted toward the sealed ancient well. "They say that in the Ancient Times, the Hall of Longevity built a Battle Hall dedicated to warfare and slaughter. Whenever members of the Battle Hall fell, their bodies would be sealed within the Corpse Burial Well. The place around the well was thus christened the Corpse Home Territory!"

"I originally thought that the Corpse Home Territory had been banished into the void alongside the Hall of Longevity by Zhao Wuji. Who would have imagined it would resurface here?"

"This place is said to entomb countless bodies of the fallen warriors from the Battle Hall!"

"Legend has it that back then, the Hall of Longevity refrained from purging the lingering malevolence on the corpses of those fallen warriors..."

The Shura Prison Master and others, having endured the icy depths of the Infinite Ice Prison for generations, with some even having lived since the Ancient Times, naturally harbored extensive knowledge about the Hall of Longevity.

Upon realizing that this was the fabled Corpse Home Territory, shock dawned on every face.

At the same time...

Greed and fervor also gleamed in their eyes.

After all.

The Battle Hall was once the mightiest division of the Hall of Longevity, where its strongest warriors gathered. Its members enjoyed extraordinary privileges and amassed immense fortunes.

When they died and were buried here...

Forget about the treasures they carried—even their corpses alone held immense value.

>The eyes of Jialuo Prison Master sparkled as he stared at Xiao Yi, his expression a mix of nervousness and desperation. "Lord Xiao, I am willing to swear eternal loyalty to you, never to betray, not in this life nor in the next. But... might you permit me to seek a suitable body for possession and rebirth here in the Corpse Home Territory?"

After all, this place entombs the remains of fallen warriors of the Battle Hall from days of yore.

Even in the Ancient Times, they were considered the most exceptional geniuses of their generation.

There could even be corpses of Sacred Venerate Realm experts here.

If he could possess the body of a Sacred Venerate, he’d stand a great chance of using this opportunity to step into the realm of the Sacred Venerate himself.

Xiao Yi’s gaze sharpened slightly.

If Jialuo Prison Master truly managed to possess the corpse of a Sacred Venerate Realm expert, it wouldn’t take long for Xiao Yi to gain another Sacred Venerate battle strength under his command.

With this thought in mind.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "You may, but before that, I must leave a mark on you!"

"A mark?"

Jialuo Prison Master froze, hesitating as he cautiously asked, "Might I inquire what kind of mark?"

Xiao Yi cast a sidelong glance at him and said calmly, "Life and Death Seal."

Hiss!

Jialuo Prison Master sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes brimming with shock and hesitation.

The Life and Death Seal.

A Secret Technique developed by Supreme Venerable Wind Thunder himself, capable of etching directly onto the Primordial Spirit. Once marked by it, even a Sacred Venerate Realm expert’s life and death would rest entirely at the mercy of the caster.

Jialuo Prison Master hesitated briefly before gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine, please imprint it, Master!"

"Very good."

Xiao Yi nodded approvingly, forming a hand seal effortlessly.

A golden light shot forth from his fingertip and embedded itself deeply into Jialuo Prison Master’s brow.

Mere moments later.

Jialuo Prison Master’s Primordial Spirit opened its eyes, and the reverence and fear in his gaze toward Xiao Yi were unmistakable: "Your servant Jialuo pays his respects to the Master!"

"Mhm."

Xiao Yi gave an acknowledging hum before speaking, "Follow me!"

The group followed Xiao Yi as they approached the sealed ancient well.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A light touch on the chains produced sharp, grating noises.

Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he flipped his hand, summoning the Red Sky Sword. Cascading rays of crimson radiance fused into the blade. A scarlet sword light descended from the heavens, striking the chains with a deafening blast.

Clang!

The chains shuddered violently before shattering.

As the chains broke apart...

The massive boulder sealing the ancient well was also pushed aside with a thunderous crash. As the boulder toppled, Xiao Yi could feel a violent tremor radiating from the Eternal Sky Tomb deep within his body.

The sensation of summoning, of his blood racing through his veins, surged once more.

It was as though something—or someone—beneath the well was calling his name.

Huff!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, steeling himself before plunging headfirst into the ancient well.

Whoosh!

The ancient well was astoundingly deep.

Xiao Yi felt himself surrounded by pitch-blackness, his body descending rapidly, faster and faster. He had no idea how far into the darkness he’d fallen when, finally, a faint light appeared in the distance.

The sense of being summoned intensified with every passing moment.

Xiao Yi pushed his speed to its limits, the Red Sky Sword quietly sliding into his grasp. After all, this was the Corpse Home Territory, the resting place of countless warriors from the Battle Hall.

Sealed in darkness for countless eons.

Who could predict what perils might lurk within?

Yet...

For the chance—an opportunity even enticing to the Eternal Sky Tomb—Xiao Yi couldn’t afford not to take the risk.

And just then...

Xiao Yi’s form suddenly broke through the dark corridor, entering the depths of the Corpse Home Territory. But as his eyes fell upon the scene before him, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, blurting out instinctively, "What the hell..."
