Death of Ling Tianzun
Chapter 852: Death of Ling Tianzun
Qin Mu felt a little dizzy when he saw the words on the stone tablet.
The tomb of Ling Tianzun.
Ling Tianzun is dead?
His eyes were somewhat confused and puzzled. In his opinion, even if the Emperor of Heaven died one after another, Ling Tianzun would not die. However, the tomb of Ling Tianzun appeared here.
He walked quickly to the stone tablet and was about to take a look at it when he was suddenly stunned.
Behind the stone tablet is a simple sarcophagus, which is placed there flatly. However, behind this simple tomb, there is another stone tablet, and behind the stone tablet is also a sarcophagus.
His gaze gradually moved farther away, and he saw more stone tablets and sarcophagi. There were so many of them, so densely packed, that they covered the entire ancient heavenly city of Yujing!
Qin Mu looked around and saw the entire Yujing City, with countless sarcophagi and tombstones, but no other buildings!
All the stone tablets had the same words written on them: "Tomb of Ling Tianzun!"
Behind him, Yan Qiling, Mu Qiubai, the Dragon King and the "Yu Tianzun" of the Heavenly Court walked quickly and stared at the scene in a daze.
There are too many tombs of Ling Tianzun here, to an outrageous degree. There are so many coffins. Could it be that there is a Ling Tianzun buried in every coffin?
"Most of these coffins are fake. The real Ling Tianzun should be buried in Lingxiao Palace!"
Mu Qiubai suddenly said: "As Ling Tianzun, one of the Nine Heavenly Lords, she is qualified to be buried in Lingxiao Palace!"
The Dragon King took the lead and headed straight there, Yan Qiling and Mu Qiubai quickly followed, Xing An and the "Yu Tianzun" also flashed away.
Only Qin Mu was left here, with the dragon unicorn beside him and the green bird transformed by Yan'er on his shoulder.
Qin Mu calmed himself down, took out a stick of incense, lit it, and silently inserted it in front of the tombstone.
After a while, he came behind the monument, grabbed the sarcophagus lid with both hands and opened it.
There was no corpse in the coffin, only a shallow pool of clear water. Qin Mu was stunned and closed the sarcophagus.
He came to another sarcophagus, opened it and looked inside, and saw a pool of clear water as well.
As the sarcophagi were opened one by one, all he saw was clear water, but no Ling Tianzun.
Qin Mu stubbornly opened the sarcophagus one after another, but there was always clear water inside.
There was a violent tremor in the Lingxiao Palace. The voice of the Dragon King was extremely loud, and he said sternly: "No one can get Ling Tianzun's treasure! This treasure belongs to the Earth Mother Yuanjun!"
Long Qilin looked from afar and saw that the Dragon King transformed into an old dragon. His huge body coiled outside the Lingxiao Palace, surrounding the entire Lingxiao Palace. The demigods under his command stood on him and fought with the maid beside Yan Qiling.
The maids' cultivation strength was so powerful that they blocked the Dragon King.
In the hall, several figures could be seen coming and going like lightning. They were "Yu Tianzun", Yan Qiling, Xing An and Mu Qiubai who were fighting for Ling Tianzun's treasure.
"Master."
Long Qilin whispered, "Shouldn't we go over there? They seem to have discovered something."
Qin Mu moved another stone slab away, and there was still a pool of clear water in the sarcophagus, very shallow and clear.
He was in a daze. There were countless stone coffins of Ling Tianzun in Yujing City. There were so many of them that it would take him an unknown amount of time to check them all.
Xing An, Yan Qiling and others chose to go directly to the Lingxiao Palace, which was indeed the best choice. As the Heavenly Lord, Ling Tianzun had an extremely high status, so it was natural for her to be buried there.
Most of the coffins in Yujing City are suspected tombs.
"Perhaps we should also go to the High Heaven Palace to take a look. She might really be buried there."
Qin Mu straightened up, and at this moment, he heard the sound of knocking.
Qin Mu was stunned. The knocking sound was not from a magical power, but rather the sound of chiseling rocks.
In Lingxiao Palace, the fight was still going on, but Qin Mu followed the sound. After a while, he arrived outside Yujing City and saw a white-haired old man dismantling the palace of the Heavenly Palace, taking down the stones, chopping them with an axe and chisel, and making stone coffins.
Qin Mu came behind the old man and watched silently. He saw that the old man worked very quickly and soon built a stone coffin. Then he chiseled a stele there and engraved the words "Tomb of Ling Tianzun" on the stele.
The old man seemed unaware of his arrival and continued to do his work silently. There were already many sarcophagi and stone tablets around him.
After a long time, the old man stopped to rest, looked up at him, and said, "Is it Mu Tianzun?"
Qin Mu saw that his eyes were completely white and had no pupils. He was a blind man.
"How did the elder know it was me?" Qin Mu asked.
"Qin Tianzun has been here before, probably more than 30,000 years ago. It's been so long that I can't remember clearly."
The old man put down his axe and chisel and said, "Tianzun Qin came to pay his respects and then left. Tianzun Ling asked me to arrange this tomb so that only two people can come in. They are Tianzun Qin and Tianzun Mu. These two Tianzuns can enter this place with their Tianzun orders. Tianzun Qin has been here before, so you can only be Tianzun Mu. However, you also brought some uninvited guests."
Qin Mu calmed down and said, "Elder, is Ling Tianzun really dead?"
The blind old man said, "Dead, but also alive. She died when she was completing a magical power that was not easy to achieve with physical objects, but she also gained eternal life."
Qin Mu was stunned.
The blind old man stood up and said, "Qin Tianzun came here to bury her and pay her respects. Since Mu Tianzun is here too, come over as well."
He dragged the sarcophagi forward with chains. Qin Mu followed behind him and saw the old man walking towards the Tianhe River.
Not long after, they arrived at the Tianhe River.
The blind old man put down the sarcophagus and said, "She's coming soon."
Qin Mu stood by the river, the sky was sparkling, and soon a woman floated over from the sky.
Qin Mu's heart suddenly twitched inexplicably and he felt very heartbroken.
The woman floating on the river was wearing a leopard skirt and straw sandals, with a peach wood hairpin on her head. It was Ling Tianzun, who was no longer alive.
"Master, your soul has returned. I am here to bury you!"
The blind old man went into the water and stopped Ling Tianzun's body. Qin Mu also jumped into the river and helped him bring Ling Tianzun's body ashore.
They placed Ling Tianzun's body in a sarcophagus, and after a while, Ling Tianzun turned into a pool of clear water.
Qin Mu was stunned.
The blind old man seemed not to see any of this. He closed the sarcophagus and continued to sit by the Milky Way waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, another Ling Tianzun floated down from the river, wearing a leopard skirt and straw sandals.
Qin Mu was stunned. The blind old man had already gone down to the river again and said, "Master, your soul has returned. I am here to bury you!"
Qin Mu also hurried down to the river, and the body of Ling Tianzun was put into the coffin and turned into clear water again.
"What's going on?" He was a little confused.
The blind old man sat there in silence. After an unknown amount of time, another Ling Tianzun floated on the river. They buried Ling Tianzun again, but the same thing happened. Ling Tianzun turned into a pool of water again, as if what they fished out was not Ling Tianzun's body, but a pool of river water.
They waited here for an unknown amount of time. Each of those sarcophagi contained a "Ling Tianzun". The blind old man dragged the sarcophagi towards Yujing City.
The city was already filled with sarcophagi and tombstones. The old man dragged the sarcophagi out of the city and arranged them neatly. He buried the tombstones deep and stood them upright.
Qin Mu followed him, paid tribute to the empty coffins, and followed the old man to the place where he was quarrying stones. He watched the old man holding an axe and chisel, continuing to polish the historical materials with the clanging sounds of the hammer.
After a while, Qin Mu finally couldn't help but asked, "Elder, what's going on?"
The blind old man put down his axe and chisel, staring blankly for a moment, and then said, "Teacher has spent her whole life studying Taoism and magical powers. She has always been alone and has few friends. She accepted me as her disciple probably because she felt lonely and bored. I was born during the reign of the previous emperor. After I became her teacher, I followed her in cultivation. I know that she has few friends, but she often mentions two people, two people who suddenly appeared in the early years of Longhan and helped her."
Qin Mu felt warm in his heart.
These two people are him and Kaihuang.
"Qin Tianzun and Mu Tianzun are people she often mentions. She wants to find them, but she can never find them."
The blind old man picked up the axe and chisel again and continued to hammer and bang, saying: "The reign of the Supreme Emperor was very long. She did not find these two Heavenly Lords during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, and she could not help it. Her magical power is almost complete, and the Supreme Emperor Heaven Court supported by the Heavenly Alliance has also won. I still remember that day, after the death of the Earth Mother Yuanjun, she intercepted the Tianhe River and displayed her magical power. That day..."
The knocking stopped.
Qin Mu, however, had a creepy feeling.
Did the Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court supported by the Heavenly Alliance win?
What victory?
Did they eliminate the Northern Emperor's Heavenly Court?
Is the Heavenly Court supported by the Heavenly Alliance the Southern Emperor’s Heavenly Court?
"That day, the Milky Way was cut off. The teacher stood in the heavens and used her magical powers to make the matter in the Milky Way still, and even restored it to its ancient state and advanced to its future state. I still remember that day when I was on the shore and saw fog suddenly rising over the Milky Way. The teacher was in the fog and assimilated with the fog."
On that day, a drastic change occurred in the metaverse.
The vast Milky Way suddenly stopped flowing. A large section of the river floating in the sky was lost and disappeared from the world.
As a result, the Southern Emperor's Heavenly Court became unstable and suffered an attack from the Heavenly Court outside the domain. It was a devastating blow.
"So the heaven we are in is the Southern Emperor Heaven?"
Qin Mu suddenly interrupted him and asked, "So, who is buried in the Lingxiao Palace?"
"It's naturally the Supreme Emperor. He died in battle to protect Ling Tianzun, and I buried him in the Lingxiao Palace."
The blind old man continued, "The Supreme Emperor, he is also a member of the Heavenly Alliance. He is a disciple of another Heavenly Lord. All the Supreme Emperors of previous generations were disciples of Heavenly Lords. However, the destruction of the Southern Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court was not due to the teacher's magical powers, but the betrayal of the Heavenly Alliance."
When Ling Tianzun used his magical powers to assimilate with the fog, the betrayal of the Heavenly Alliance led to the breach of the Southern Emperor's Heavenly Court. Darkness fell, and Ling Tianzun reappeared from the fog.
At this moment, a terrifying force suddenly appeared. It was a tall and majestic figure that rushed into the fog and went straight for Ling Tianzun.
The Southern Emperor's Heavenly Palace was defeated, and only a ruin remained.
"Later, I saw the teacher's body floating on the river."
The blind old man took out a token, which was Ling Tianzun's token, and said in a hoarse voice: "I built this tomb and left a mechanism that only Qin Tianzun and Mu Tianzun can unlock."
Qin Mu looked at the token of Ling Tianzun. Ling Tianzun's token was the same size as his token. The blind old man designed the mechanism based on this token.
"Then why do you say she is still alive?" Qin Mu suddenly asked.
The blind old man put down his axe and dragged the coffin toward the shore with a chain, saying, "Qin Tianzun came here and told me that he met Ling Tianzun. Ling Tianzun came to find him and told him a lot of things."
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed him, saying, "What is the origin of the Outer Heaven Court? Who is the Emperor of the Outer Heaven Court? Others may not know, but Ling Tianzun must know!"
"The Emperor of the Outer Heaven is..."
The blind old man turned around, his wrinkled face showing a look that seemed neither smiling nor crying: "Heavenly Alliance. Lord Mu Tianzun, it was you who founded the Heavenly Alliance——"
