Chapter 32: Three Emperors’ Mausoleum, Familiar Aura

Chu Qingyue had been reading the letter written by Nie Chen, and a faint smile had appeared on her face.

“Take all the inheritances from the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum? Although there weren’t many powerful old monsters going this time, and the strength was only at the initial stage of the Building Foundation Realm, it was still a bold statement.”

The imperial-level tomb was much less dangerous than the Great Emperor’s tomb, and according to the conventional rules, only disciples with strength below the Profound Realm were allowed to enter, in order to reduce competition.

However, there were still many strong cultivators and disciples from various Sacred Lands and the Imperial Court who were participating.

It was not easy to compete with these people who possessed both strength and gifts.

Not to mention obtaining all the inheritances under the pressure of these forces.

But for some reason, although Chu Qingyue felt that this idea was unrealistic, she had some inexplicable trust in Nie Chen.

“Date…”

When she saw these two words on the letter, Chu Qingyue’s fair cheeks felt slightly hot.

As she continued reading, she saw two even more outrageous words: “Wife.”

“Hmph, I knew you were poor with words, even your letter is the same!”

Chu Qingyue let out a light hum, seemingly a bit annoyed, and threw the letter aside.

After sitting quietly for a while, she looked around to make sure no one was there, then quietly picked up the letter and put it under her soft pillow.

‘It’s not that I treasure this letter with only two sentences, it’s just that… the pillow is too low, and I need something to pad it up a bit.

Yes, that’s it!’

Chu Qingyue gazed into the distance, her eyes slightly resentful.

…

The Three Emperors’ Mausoleum was the burial site of three emperors: Saint Emperor Qi Xiu, Saint Emperor Wen Bin, and Saint Emperor Fei Bai.

These three emperors were all at the mid-stage of the Transforming Sea Realm and had once been renowned for their strength.

Although they were dead, the array protecting the tomb was still unbreakable, and it would only open automatically after a hundred years.

The various sects had disputes, but they generally followed the rules.

This time, when the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum opened, several major Righteous Sects joined forces to guard the entrance, blocking people above the Profound Realm from entering, to ensure fair competition inside the tomb.

Nie Chen brought over a dozen disciples with average strength, and after a two-day journey, they arrived near the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum.

Among them was Duanmu Yang, who had a bruised face and several bloodstains on his body, looking disheveled and miserable, but still smiling foolishly next to Nie Chen.

“How did you get beaten up like this?”

Nie Chen frowned slightly, remembering that he hadn’t hit him that hard.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say.”

Duanmu Yang scratched his head:

“I went back and told my parents to beat me, but they didn’t believe me at first. Later, I spent a lot of effort explaining, and they finally understood the reason. But unexpectedly, they started hitting me harder and harder, and they couldn’t stop, almost beating me to death. It wasn’t until they finally stopped that my father told me that they had been holding back for so long, and this time they couldn’t help but let it all out.”

Nie Chen directly called him a good fellow.

This family was indeed a loving one.

During their conversation, many sects had entered the tomb.

Seeing the large number of disciples rushing in, Nie Chen didn’t dare to waste any more time, and after passing the inspection, he led the Heavenly Cloud Palace disciples into the tomb.

“It’s actually this kind of terrain.”

Unlike the outside, the tomb had no sunlight, and the sky was a deep, dark red.

The ground was barren and hard, with no vegetation, as if it had been burned by fierce flames.

The mountains were undulating, and each peak seemed to be a volcano hiding hot magma.

Although there were no plants, the continuous, undulating dark red peaks could barely be considered as obstacles.

As for the farther front, it was a dark, unknown area.

Looking at this scene, Nie Chen was slightly vigilant, recalling the records he had read before, and cautioned:

“Although most imperial-level tombs won’t kill intruders, it’s still better to be careful.”

The disciples all agreed, and Nie Chen led them to a slightly higher hill, hiding behind it.

Perhaps it was because he had read too many novels, but Nie Chen had some resistance to this type of secret realm, especially those that restricted cultivation levels.

More and more people entered the secret realm, including some strong sects and a few strange sects that Nie Chen had seen before.

“Look, that’s the Emei Sect!”

A disciple suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the distance, and their eyes sparkled.

After all, the Emei Sect was famous, and although its strength was only barely among the top sects, its female disciples were renowned for their beauty.

Looking around, the Emei Sect’s female disciples were all beautiful and lovely.

Especially when they talked to each other, held hands, and walked together, their smiles and laughter made people feel like they had something scratching their hearts.

“Alas, it’s a pity that the Emei Sect’s female disciples have all been infected by the ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’ and seem to be planning to stay single forever.”

Duanmu Yang sighed to the people around him.

“Indeed, it’s a waste of natural resources! If the Emei Sect’s female disciples don’t get married, it’s a loss for the world!”

“Shh, keep your voice down, the ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’ was written by the Empress herself. Although the Empress didn’t mention it again, it’s still her enlightenment.”

“Why did the Empress have to enlighten to this…”

The group of people cried, their faces filled with sorrow.

Originally, they had little chance of interacting with the Emei Sect’s female disciples, and now it seemed that there was no possibility at all.

But soon, the topic turned to the Emei Sect’s leader.

“I’ve seen the leader’s female disciple before, and she seems to be the Emei Sect’s Master’s recent direct disciple. It’s said that she has excellent qualifications and has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm in just a few years, and recently, she has even entered the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm! That should be the strongest force in this secret realm. And I heard that her appearance is actually hidden by a disguise technique, and her original appearance is much more beautiful than it is now.”

The discussion continued, and Nie Chen couldn’t help but look at the Emei Sect’s female disciples, especially the leader’s direct disciple.

Nie Chen’s eyes had a hint of doubt.

He didn’t recognize this face, but for some reason, he felt a familiar aura from this person.

It was as if he had seen her before.
