"Found it! I didn't expect the entrance to overlap with the Starry Sky Ancient Road passage set up by His Majesty the Holy Emperor. No wonder others couldn't find it," the old Supreme said, looking at the top of the five-colored altar. That special fluctuation was emanating from there, coinciding perfectly with the entrance to the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
"I wonder if His Majesty the Holy Emperor did this intentionally or unintentionally!" the old Supreme murmured. The entrance overlapped with the Starry Sky Ancient Road passage. Unless someone wanted to desecrate His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who would think that the entrance was directly above the teleportation altar?
The old Supreme looked around, formed a hand seal, and then sent out a burst of energy. The energy disappeared without a trace above the teleportation altar, as if it had been swallowed by something.
"Rumble!"
The space where the energy disappeared suddenly collapsed, revealing a tall gate. The gate was built of bluestone, with five large characters engraved on it in ancient script.
Tomb of Emperor Hongshi!
As someone from that era, the old Supreme naturally recognized these five characters.
"Tomb of Emperor Hongshi! It really is Emperor Hongshi. I didn't expect his tomb to be here."
The old Supreme's expression became incredibly solemn. If this was the tomb of Emperor Hongshi, it meant that Emperor Hongshi had already passed away before the Great Destruction of the Mortal Realm, otherwise, a tomb would not have been left behind. The reason his expression became so solemn was not because he thought the tomb was terrifying, but because even a powerful immortal like Emperor Hongshi could fall. He had previously been feeling proud of becoming an immortal.
Immortals can also die!
This was the old Supreme's deepest realization at this moment.
However, an even greater doubt arose in the old Supreme's mind, which was why Emperor Hongshi had fallen, and who had built his tomb. As someone from that era, he felt extremely curious about all of this.
With a curious heart, the old Supreme pushed open the bluestone gate and walked in.
"Brother Bai, do you really not need to rest a bit longer? There's really no need to rush so much."
Just as the old Supreme entered the Tomb of Emperor Hongshi, Li Beifei and the others arrived at the teleportation altar. The one speaking was naturally Li Beifei. Li Beifei still felt guilty about Bai Yifei almost losing his life.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
At this moment, Liu Yuran exclaimed, pointing at the bluestone gate in the sky.
"I'm not deaf, why are you shouting so loudly? Could it be that there's a pie falling from the sky… Holy crap!"
Li Beifei was complaining that Liu Yuran was too loud, but when he saw the bluestone gate in the sky, his voice was several octaves higher than Liu Yuran's.
"Could it be that the Starry Sky Ancient Road from the ninth level to the tenth level is different from before?" Bai Yifei also looked at the bluestone gate in the sky in surprise, thinking that this was the passage to the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
"Young Master, look, there are some words on the gate that don't seem to be from our era." Liu Yanran was very observant. While everyone else was attracted by the bluestone gate, she was the only one observing it and discovered the words on it.
"Although the fourth character is written differently from how it is now, it looks like the character 'zhi'." Bai Yifei was arguably the most knowledgeable person present. He had grown up in Tianji Pavilion since he was a child, so his knowledge was naturally not something Li Beifei could compare to.
In terms of knowledge, Li Beifei could only be ranked last among the four. After all, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran had also been raised by Baihua Lou since they were young. In order to train them into qualified followers, Baihua Lou required them to be proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, unlike Li Beifei, who had been alone since he was a child. After meeting Gu Changsheng, he was also left to his own devices by Gu Changsheng. Gu Changsheng had no interest in teaching him artistic things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Li Beifei looked at the five large characters on the bluestone gate as if he were looking at a heavenly book, not recognizing a single one of them. But don't forget, he had Old Six.
"Old Six, do you recognize the characters on it?" Li Beifei asked inwardly.
"Tomb of Emperor Hongshi!" Old Six said concisely.
"Tomb of Emperor Hongshi? Then wouldn't the inheritance of Emperor Hongshi be inside?" Li Beifei's eyes lit up. The inheritance of an immortal, how rich would that be? He had obtained the inheritance of Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable before and knew how rich an immortal's collection was. It was a pity that he didn't get anything except for ancient books about swordsmanship, all of which were taken away by the old guy.
He called it keeping it safe for him, but how could Li Beifei believe the old guy's words? He hadn't even returned the hundreds of middle-grade source crystals he had scammed him out of back then. Those treasures must have been like a meat bun thrown to a dog…
"Ouch!"
Li Beifei suddenly cried out in pain, attracting the attention of the three others.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran asked in unison.
Li Beifei shook his head, then slapped himself in the face and said, "Master is above, this disciple will definitely not let his thoughts run wild."
"Brother Li, what is this?" Bai Yifei was puzzled. This scene was so familiar. Back when they were at the Baihua Lou gathering, Li Beifei had slapped himself twice and said something similar.
Could it be that Brother Li really respected and loved Senior Gu so much? Was he only acting cheap in front of Senior Gu to attract Senior Gu's attention?
Thinking about it, Bai Yifei couldn't help but feel admiration for Li Beifei. He was willing to be beaten to attract Senior Gu's attention. How much respect and love did Brother Li have for Senior Gu in his heart!
"Brother Li, I'm sorry, I was wrong before!" Bai Yifei said seriously to Li Beifei.
"Ah?" This time it was Li Beifei who was puzzled.
"It's okay, it's okay, those were all accidents." Li Beifei waved his hand, thinking that Bai Yifei was apologizing to him because he had punched him before.
"Brother Li is generous. I didn't expect you to respect and love Senior Gu so much. I was judging a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind." Bai Yifei was greatly moved.
"What the hell?" Li Beifei was puzzled again. Why couldn't he understand his words?
"Young Master, Young Master, the door is closing!"
Before Li Beifei could ask Bai Yifei what he meant, Liu Yuran on the side became anxious.
Everyone looked up and saw that the bluestone gate was slowly closing, and it would probably be completely closed in just a few breaths.
"Go!" Li Beifei was shocked and rushed up with the Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran sisters without saying a word.
"Brother Bai, follow up, this is a super opportunity." Li Beifei reminded loudly.
Bai Yifei was shocked and also transformed into a divine rainbow and flew towards the bluestone gate without saying a word.
"Boom!"
They had just completely entered when the bluestone gate completely closed, and after closing, the bluestone gate emitted a faint light, and then completely disappeared into the air.
Just after they went in, Gu Changsheng walked out of the void.
"You brat, you never learn. You dare to slander your teacher in your heart like that. Next time, I'll beat you into a dead dog."
After speaking, Gu Changsheng glanced at the disappearing bluestone gate. Of course, it was intentional that it overlapped with the Starry Sky Ancient Road passage. If a suitable challenger appeared, then the bluestone gate would appear and guide them in to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Hongshi. It's just that he never expected that the Starry Sky Ancient Road has been opened eleven times including this time, and so many geniuses, but not a single one has been selected.
This couldn't help but remind him of what the subject teachers often said to them when he was in school.
"This class is the worst class I've ever taught."
Gu Changsheng shook his head helplessly. He had placed the opportunity here, and there was nothing he could do if no one could discover it.
"Huh? Courting death!"
Suddenly, Gu Changsheng's face darkened, his figure flashed, and he left the Mortal Realm.
