Time went back a few minutes earlier, before Sword Venerable Bi Xiao made his move to kill Solon.
Solon asked, Demon Star, because of your existence, does that mean I generally will not die?
The Demon Star replied, If someone pierces your head, or pierces your heart, or even drains all the blood from your body, you will still die.
Solon said, That means if someone directly uses energy to strangle my energy vitality, I will not die.
Correct, the Demon Star said, because no matter how weak my energy is, it can still maintain your vitality.
Solon said, For an absolute expert like Bi Xiao, when killing someone like me, he would definitely suppress my vitality instantly and let me die painlessly.
Uh… the Demon Star said, If it were me, I would not dare to bet on that.
Then, Solon went ahead and made that bet anyway.
As a result, Sword Venerable Bi Xiao did not give him even half a second to explain. He killed him directly and straightforwardly.
However, as an absolute top expert, he indeed did not like bloody methods such as chopping off heads or piercing hearts. Instead, he used energy directly to instantly strangle Solons energy vitality, causing instant death with no pain at all.
More directly put, he cut off the energy connection between the body and the brain, causing Solons brain to lose energy instantly.
Therefore, in this way, Solon could not actually die.
Because he had the Demon Star inside his body. Although the Demon Stars dragon power had also been completely exhausted, there was still enough energy to maintain his vitality.
…
Bi Xiao was about to throw Solons body down the thousand zhang cliff into the sea, then pretend nothing had happened, as if Solon had completely vanished from the world.
Although many people knew that Solon had come to Floating Zero Island to find him, Bi Xiao, and had never returned, so it was very likely that he had died at Bi Xiaos hands.
But Bi Xiao did not care at all. Even if the whole world knew that Solon had been killed by Bi Xiao, so what?
Just the fact that Solon had disturbed his closed door cultivation was reason enough to kill him.
He, Bi Xiao, had not killed anyone for decades. Did killing one person really need a reason? The entire people of the Furious Wave Kingdom would pretend not to know. After all, the current Solon was like an ant in front of him, Bi Xiao.
However, just as he was about to throw Solons corpse into the sea, he stopped again and began to hesitate.
Since he had already made a move to kill him, should this corpse not be wasted? Perhaps, perhaps this corpse could bring a surprise?
Perhaps, if the corpse entered the Heavenly Tomb, there would be additional gains?
Thus, Sword Venerable Bi Xiao carried Solons corpse and flew down the mountain as if walking on flat ground.
Of course, he went down from the back side of Mist Mountain, so he would not run into Night Startled Feather.
Even while carrying Solon, Bi Xiao was like a light paper kite, bouncing and leaping down continuously along the steep cliff.
The altitude of Mist Mountain was several thousand meters high. When Solon climbed the mountain, it took him several hours. However, when Sword Venerable descended the mountain, it took only about a quarter of an hour.
After descending the mountain, he arrived at the seaside. There was a small boat here. Bi Xiao placed Solons corpse on the boat, then steered the small boat and headed northwest.
He used a wooden sword to row the boat, yet the speed was incredibly fast. In less than an hour, the small boat had already sailed more than a hundred miles northward.
Here was the vast and boundless sea.
Bi Xiao raised his head and began to measure the double moons and stars in the sky, then measured the reflections of the moons and stars in the water.
While measuring, he controlled the small boat to move inch by inch.
He was searching for something, searching for a certain energy zero point.
His speed became slower and slower. Finally he stopped at a certain point and took out a compass from his bosom.
This compass was used to test the heavenly energy magnetic field. In any place, it would have a clear direction.
However, at this point, the compass seemed to have completely failed and no longer pointed in any direction. It just hung there limply.
This was the place. At this position, the heavenly magnetic field had completely disappeared, as if all energy had returned to zero.
He took out something from his bosom and put it in his mouth, then took a deep breath. Bi Xiao carried Solons corpse and jumped down from the boat.
Entering the sea, Bi Xiao kept sinking, sinking, sinking.
He sank a full thousand meters. The entire seabed had no light at all, and there was no existence of any living creatures.
Within dozens of meters around this place, no creatures approached, whether fish, shrimp, seaweed or coral. There was nothing at all, only empty seawater.
Soon, Bi Xiao reached the seabed.
He took out a huge luminous pearl and illuminated several meters around him.
This was a dark seabed. Everywhere the eye could see was flat, hard, dark rock.
Bi Xiao found a piece of rock and lifted it fiercely.
Instantly, a giant rock weighing several thousand jin was lifted up by him alive, revealing a deep and幽幽 cave.
A strange and mysterious light shot out from the cave.
This was the Heavenly Tomb, the burial place for the great spiritual cultivators of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple, the Heavenly Tomb that inherited the highest secrets of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple.
It looked like a well shaped cave, completely bottomless, as if it led directly to hell.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao jumped into the bottomless tomb cave and kept falling, falling, falling…
This tomb cave was really very deep, perhaps more than tens of thousands of meters, as if it reached the centre of the earth.
When he had fallen halfway, the speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely.
Because there was no gravity further down. It had already become a zero gravity field.
Carrying Solons corpse, Bi Xiao continued downwards by pushing with dragon power.
He went down another ten thousand meters or so, as if he had finally reached the end of the tomb cave.
Here was boundless nothingness. Only in the middle floated a coffin.
This coffin could be seen but not touched.
Because it was not physical but an energy coffin.
Inside the coffin floated a woman, a woman whose age could not be determined at all.
Her face looked very young, but her hair had already turned completely white. She was incomparably beautiful, delicate, wise and profound.
She was completely without any clothes on her entire body.
She was the great priestess of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple who had been buried in the Heavenly Tomb. Her body had already died, but her spiritual power had not yet died, or rather had not had time to dissipate.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao approached this energy coffin and looked at the woman inside. He asked hoarsely, Tell me, tell me, has the Dragon Emperor not died? Where is he? Where is his inheritance?
However, he naturally received no answer at all.
Because this energy coffin was a complete energy shielding array, completely separate from the outside world. Therefore it could preserve the spiritual energy inside for thousands of years without dissipation.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao had thought of directly entering this energy coffin.
But once he went in, he would never be able to come out again, never.
He could not take this risk, and he did not dare to take this risk.
Tell me, has the Dragon Emperor not died? Where is he? Where is his inheritance? Sword Venerable Bi Xiao asked hoarsely once again.
There was still no response, forcing him to give up this ridiculous questioning.
Then, Sword Venerable Bi Xiao glanced at Solons corpse and fell into hesitation. It was easy to put anything into this energy coffin, but it was absolutely impossible to take it out again.
Therefore, although he had discovered this Heavenly Tomb for some time already, he did not dare to put anything inside.
Because perhaps one day people from the Divine Dragon Holy Temple would come and discover that there was something extra inside the Heavenly Tomb. They would immediately associate it with the fact that this Heavenly Tomb had been discovered.
Then, the entire Divine Dragon Holy Temple would use all its power to find this person.
The Divine Dragon Holy Temple was the most powerful force in the world. If they wanted to find someone, they would definitely be able to find him.
Once found by the Divine Dragon Holy Temple, even if he, Bi Xiao, escaped to the ends of the earth, it would be useless. He would undoubtedly die, and it would even be more miserable than death.
But on the other hand, the possibility of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple coming to inspect this Heavenly Tomb was extremely slim, and there was not even such a possibility within several hundred years.
Only when the Divine Dragon Holy Temple encountered a fatal crisis would the great priestesses gather together, piece together the maps each of them kept, and only then would they know the specific locations of each Heavenly Tomb.
Therefore, even the great priestesses of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple did not know about the existence and specific location of a certain Heavenly Tomb at this time.
It was also for this reason that Sword Venerable Bi Xiao dared to openly live in seclusion near this Heavenly Tomb.
I do not have much time left to live. At most I can live another ten or so years, Sword Venerable sighed. Then, let me make one last bet. Solon, since you are already dead, help me scout the way.
With that, Sword Venerable Bi Xiao fiercely pushed Solons corpse into the energy coffin of the Heavenly Tomb.
Whoosh…
Without a sound, Solons body floated straight inside.
Instantly, everything around Solon disappeared.
The seabed disappeared, the Heavenly Tomb disappeared, and even the energy coffin seemed to disappear.
Solon felt that he had completely entered another world, a completely empty world, inside which there was nothing, not even darkness.
From the outside, it was clearly an energy coffin with less than one cubic meter of space.
But after entering, it seemed infinitely vast.
Outside, although Solon had not really died and the Demon Star had always maintained his vitality, his vitality was still extremely weak. There was no heartbeat and no breathing. The Demon Star could only use weak energy to maintain the operation of his brain.
However, after entering this Heavenly Tomb coffin, he instantly came back to life.
Moreover, previously, because of long term meditation, his spiritual power had been completely exhausted, leaving him extremely tired.
But inside this coffin space, all fatigue disappeared completely, and he felt his spirit incredibly full.
He had not guessed wrong, and he had bet correctly.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao indeed knew about the existence of the Heavenly Tomb and had even directly brought him here and thrown him into the coffin of the Heavenly Tomb.
…
Solons heart was incomparably excited and joyful.
However, was there not a great priestess of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple buried inside? A great priestess with incomparably powerful spiritual power.
After devouring her spiritual power, his own spiritual talent could directly rise to 8.5. Learning and comprehending the Nine Swords of Calamity would then become twice the result with half the effort, with rapid progress.
But why could he not see her existence at all?
Thus, Solon began to search everywhere, searching all over the world for the buried great priestess.
However, his surroundings remained eternal nothingness. The entire space, the entire world, had nothing except him, Solon.
There was not even any light or any matter.
The entire world was nothingness, with only him, Solon, alone.
…
At this time, outside the coffin, Sword Venerable Bi Xiao, after pushing Solon into the Heavenly Tomb coffin, only saw Solon float straight inside and then press down on the completely naked female priestess inside.
Then, there was no further reaction. Both bodies remained motionless.
A second body had entered the coffin, but the buried female priestess showed no reaction, let alone any counterattack.
In this way, Solons body pressed against the female priestesss bare body and floated motionless inside the coffin.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao really felt some despair. There was no reaction at all, and he could not obtain any information.
Ah… Sword Venerable Bi Xiao roared angrily and said in a furious voice, Tell me, has the Dragon Emperor not died? Where is he? Where is his inheritance?
Give me even the slightest reaction, even the slightest reaction.
Of course, there was still no sound inside the coffin.
The female priestess inside remained motionless, and Solon inside also had his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless.
At this moment Sword Venerable Bi Xiao was filled with a strong impulse. He also wanted to enter this coffin, even though he knew that once he came in, he would never be able to get out again.
But at this time, he really, really wanted to come in. This feeling of complete unknown was too uncomfortable.
However, in the end he still did not do so. After all he still had ten or so years left to live, and he could not give up his last hope.
He had once said a sentence to Solon. No matter how high the martial arts in this world, they could not rival thousands of troops and horses, nor could they rival overwhelming power and influence, unless your martial arts could reach the height of the Dragon Emperor.
Therefore he could not give up his last hope. Finding the Dragon Emperors inheritance and the Dragon Emperors divinity meant immortality and meant peerless power.
On the day before I die, I will come in. I want to see exactly what the world inside the Heavenly Tomb is like. Sword Venerable Bi Xiao was filled with unwillingness. He looked at Solon and the female priestess inside the coffin, took a deep breath, then turned and left.
He floated up tens of thousands of meters to the entrance of the tomb well. Bi Xiao once again used the several thousand jin giant rock to cover the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb.
Then, he rowed upwards continuously along the seawater. After several thousand meters of seawater, he rushed out of the sea surface, boarded the small boat, and sailed towards his closed door cultivation on Mist Mountain.
As for the person Solon, he had completely and thoroughly disappeared from this world, even more thoroughly than artificial evaporation.
…
Inside the nothingness world of the Heavenly Tomb, Solon ran desperately. He did not know how many hundreds of miles he had run, yet his surroundings remained a piece of nothingness, completely boundless and endless.
The entire world had no other figure except him.
And the legendary great cultivator of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple who possessed powerful spiritual power was completely nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, after running wildly for hundreds of miles, he felt no fatigue at all.
Then he suddenly realised that his body had not moved at all. It was his spirit and consciousness that were moving.
Inside this Heavenly Tomb coffin, nothing was allowed to exist except spiritual power.
Therefore, his thoughts could fly endlessly, and because this was an absolutely shielded energy field, there would be no energy consumption at all.
Thus, Solons spiritual consciousness could fly wildly without any fatigue.
Then Solon also knew that the buried great cultivator of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple, the great cultivator with incomparably powerful spiritual power, was right beside him, squeezed together with him inside one coffin, even completely touching.
However, their spirits were two completely different worlds that would never intersect.
Even though their bodies were touching, and even Solon was pressing on her, in the spiritual world, Solon would never, ever be able to find her.
However, at this very moment…
A figure suddenly appeared before Solons eyes, an incomparably peerless figure.
Half of her face was incredibly beautiful, while the other half was incredibly ugly. Her face was delicate as jade, but her hair was completely snow white.
Seeing this figure, Solon was instantly completely stunned. Then his body trembled violently, and tears surged out.
Sister, Lan Kou, is that you? Is it really you!
Instantly, Solon rushed fiercely towards the woman.
