Chongming was in a very complicated mood.
He had come to the Divine Lord's Tomb this time specifically to find something to suppress the demonic energy for Yaohua. Now that he had found the demon - expelling candies and heard that the Divine Lord had repented and the Three Realms were waiting for him to return and fight against the Heavenly Demons again, his heart wavered.
Seeing this, Sulian took out a seal from her bosom. Her voice choking, she said, "My Lord, please forgive the Divine Lord for all his past mistakes. This is the location of the former Divine Lord's tomb. Once you go there, everything will be clear!"
"The former Divine Lord's tomb?" For the first time, a slight excitement welled up in Chongming's usually calm eyes.
Sulian nodded affirmatively. "The former Divine Lord was extremely powerful. He had long foreseen this calamity in the Three Realms, so he left this seal that leads to the tomb chamber."
Chongming took the seal, infused it with spiritual energy, and his figure disappeared into the whirlpool that suddenly appeared in mid - air.
Yaohua noticed sharply that the fluctuation of this whirlpool was exactly the same as the one she had just entered.
She looked at the two fairies, still full of doubts. "Are you sure you're here on behalf of the Divine Lord? Then why didn't you just open the gate of the Divine Lord's Tomb directly instead of forcing your way in?"
Handan snorted lightly and didn't want to talk to her.
Sulian said gently, "You don't know, My Lady. The Heavenly Demons are extremely cruel. After they saw the two of you enter, they immediately destroyed the key. But our bloodlines happen to have a certain connection with this Divine Lord's Tomb, so we were able to enter here unimpeded."
"If the key is destroyed, won't we be unable to get out either?" Yaohua was shocked.
Outside the Divine Lord's Tomb.
The Demon Eater bowed and scraped as he followed Zhaoyue. "Leader, is it really okay for us to just let the Divine Lord out? What if he takes the opportunity to return to Henan Mansion and conspires with other immortals?"
"Don't worry. He won't be able to go anywhere except this Divine Lord's Tomb." Zhaoyue sneered.
A water mirror rose in her hand, and inside it was a reflection of Handan and her sister talking to Yaohua.
The little Heavenly Demons flattered one after another. "The leader is so powerful! With just a few words, you came up with the idea of sending the two fairies into the tomb to find out if Yaohua is dead or alive!"
Zhaoyue was already used to this kind of flattery. She gently kicked them and then impatiently looked at the Divine Lord. "Didn't you say that the Divine Lord's Tomb is full of turbid air and is not suitable for survival at all? Why is it so full of singing birds and fragrant flowers inside, and they're living quite well?"
Inside the Divine Lord's Tomb.
Yaohua was completely unaware that her every move was being monitored.
She asked Sulian some more detailed questions, and she became more and more certain that the Divine Lord was lying.
First of all, the Divine Lord was narrow - minded and would never admit his mistakes in front of everyone.
Secondly, even if the Divine Lord really broke through the encirclement of the demons, he would never lead so many people to Henan Mansion.
Because the immortals in Henan Mansion were all on Chongming's side. With Zhao Wu there, they wouldn't be so easily convinced by the Divine Lord.
Right, Zhao Wu!
Her eyes twitched slightly, and she completely confirmed her suspicion.
The biggest flaw of Handan and her sister was that they didn't mention Zhao Wu at all.
So, they were very likely to be undercover agents sent from the outside.
At this time, the whirlpool appeared again, and Chongming walked out.
She was just about to quietly tell him her discovery when she heard Chongming say calmly, "Since the Divine Lord has admitted his mistakes and is willing to correct them, let's find a way to get out."
"Yes!" The two sisters were excited.
Yaohua moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but thinking that there might be something for monitoring on the two sisters, she closed her mouth and pretended to be weak.
The two sisters were exhausted. While walking in the tomb to find the exit, they soon got tired.
She seized the opportunity. Making an excuse that she had something to do, she took Chongming aside, quietly set up a sound - proof barrier, and told him her discovery.
After listening, Chongming frowned deeply and entered the former Divine Lord's tomb again.
Yaohua thought for a long time, then told Yaoyao to distract the two sisters, and she herself entered another whirlpool.
After entering the whirlpool, she saw a figure slowly walking out from among the tombstones. It was Chongming.
The former Divine Lord asked solemnly, "Why have you come here?"
Chongming said, "The Divine Lord is narrow - minded. Could he be trying to deceive us into going out? And the Heavenly Demons are extremely scheming. If they set a trap on purpose, then..."
He voiced all his doubts one by one.
The former Divine Lord just waved his hand, and several light spots landed on Chongming's head. "Don't worry. I've made all the necessary preparations. The sooner, the better. The survival of the mortal world depends on you again."
At the same time, several light clusters behind him let out soft laughter. "This fool is still so inflexible."
"Who does he think he is, daring to speak ill of the Divine Lord? Does he not want to live anymore?"
"Alas, he deserves to be the vessel for our descent into the mortal world."
Yaohua wanted to listen more, but Chongming's call came from outside.
She appeared on the grass again. Soon, she saw him rushing over. Looking at her with a hint of reproach, he asked, "Why did you run around again?"
"I just saw that you were busy and didn't want to talk to those two sisters, so I just stayed alone." Yaohua bit her lip and asked, "Master, are you really in a hurry to go out?"
This time, Chongming nodded firmly. "If you're not fully recovered, stay here. It's safe here."
"Can we delay for a few days?" Yaohua's uneasiness grew stronger.
Chongming rubbed her head. "Don't worry. The former Divine Lord has made all the necessary preparations. I won't be in danger. I've been worshiped by the common people, so I can't let them suffer in the flames of war."
These words were basically the same as what Yaohua had just heard. Then she asked a few more questions and became more and more certain that what she had seen in that whirlpool was true.
Vessel... Did it mean what she thought it meant?
She summoned the system and told it the whole story.
The system clicked its tongue. "Your master has been severely ostracized."
"What do you mean?" Yaohua couldn't help asking.
The system sighed. "A dozen ancient gods have all agreed to use his body as a vessel to descend into this world, but he has no idea. Isn't this ostracism?"
He added, "After those ancient gods descend into the world and exterminate the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demons, they can still be gods. But Chongming, the one whose body they use, will end up with his spiritual consciousness completely distorted and chaotic, and finally destroyed."
"Do the ancient gods really have to fall one by one in order to exterminate the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demons?" Yaohua still didn't understand.
The system said puzzledly, "Well... I really don't know. All I can be sure of is that they sacrificed one by one in the process of dealing with the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demons to strengthen the seal and prevent the Heavenly Demons from resurrecting the Mysterious Demons."
Yaohua was speechless. "Didn't they think that after all the ancient gods died, there would be no one to restrain the Mysterious Demons anymore?"
The system was silent for a while, as if searching for information. "I understand! The ancient gods have the technique of resurrection and descent. As long as a special formation is activated when the tenth ancient god sacrifices, all the ancient gods can be resurrected."
