Chapter 1193: The Dragon’s Gate’s Azure Emperor Was Here

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 .
