My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

116 Digging the Ancestral Grave Can Help You Transcend the Great Tribulation!

Tianmo Ridge.

This was the forbidden area of the Dari Demonic Sect, where the sect masters and ancestors since the beginning of the sect were buried.

At this moment, on the peak of Tianmo Ridge, a spirited old man in red was sitting cross-legged on the edge of a cliff. His deep eyes were quietly watching the sea of clouds in the distance.

His aged face was filled with worry.

!!

His name was Li Xuanshan.

He was one of the three remaining Myth-realm patriarchs of the Dari Demonic Sect. His cultivation had already reached the perfection of the Myth realm, and he was only one step away from entering the Grotto-Heaven realm.

Up until now, he had been cultivating on Tianmo Ridge for twenty years.

“There are only seven days left. If we can’t find a suitable successor within seven days, the Great Tribulation of High Heavens will descend and the thousand-year foundation of our Dari Demonic Sect will be destroyed. Everyone will die without a burial place…” Li Xuanshan sighed heavily.

The worry in his eyes became even more intense.

Seven days later would be the day of the Dari Demonic Sect’s tribulation. According to the laws of the past, they only needed to find a suitable person to be the sect master.

Then, the Dari Demonic Sect would be able to safely survive the tribulation.

At that time, not only would the entire sect be free from the threat of death, but their cultivation and strength would also be greatly improved.

However, the idea was good, but so far, no one was willing to take over as the sect master.

There were only seven days left. If they still couldn’t find a sect master by then, then everyone from the Dari Demonic Sect would die without a burial place.

This was the law made by the heavens, and no one could change it.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Li Xuanshan became.

[Congratulations, you have become the lucky one blessed by the heavens.]

[Now, a heavens’ emissary has been born in Jiuzhou. His name is Dongfang Bubai. As long as you pray to him devoutly and offer him something he likes, he can help you survive the tribulation.]

[Required pay: The corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouse or above.]

[Do you wish to invite Dongfang Bubai to become the Dari Demonic Sect’s sect master and help you overcome the Great Tribulation of High Heavens?]

…

A mysterious voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuanshan’s soul.

“Who is it?”

The sudden voice shocked Li Xuanshan, so much so that he instantly jumped from the ground.

Immediately after, his cold and sharp eyes swept around wildly, but he didn’t find any traces.

“Could it be an illusion?”

Li Xuanshan frowned.

With his powerful perception, he naturally knew that he was the only one on Tianmo Ridge now.

[Do you wish to invite Dongfang Bubai to become the Dari Demonic Sect’s sect master and help you overcome the Great Tribulation of High Heavens?]

Boom!

Just as Li Xuanshan thought it was an illusion, the mysterious voice sounded again.

“Who is speaking?”

His expression was filled with vigilance.

However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any clues. That mysterious voice seemed to have directly entered his mind.

It could not be traced at all.

“Could it be… Have I really encountered an indescribable mysterious existence?” A terrifying thought appeared in Li Xuanshan’s mind.

“I… How should I invite him?”

After a long silence, Li Xuanshan asked carefully.

[Just offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouse or above. At that time, Dongfang Bubai can be invited over.]

The mysterious voice continued.

“Ha… To think I have actually encountered a mysterious existence.”

Li Xuanshan took a deep breath. His old face was filled with shock and fear.

He did not know who the other party was.

“We can invite Dongfang Bubai by offering a Grotto-Heaven realm expert’s corpse? If this is the case, we can take a gamble…”

Li Xuanshan clenched his fists.

In an instant, he couldn’t help but look at the ancestral graves in the depths of Tianmo Ridge.

The Dari Demonic Sect’s past sect masters and many old ancestors were buried there. Even the founder, Dugu Mie, was among them.

There were definitely corpses of Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouses and above.

“Can we really invite Dongfang Bubai to be the sect master?”

[Yes.]

“Then… Can we survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens?”

[Of course.]

“I see. I will consider it.”

…

...

After repeated confirmation, Li Xuanshan tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart.

Although this matter was somewhat unbelievable, what if it was true?

“Since we can’t find a suitable person, why don’t we try inviting him?”

Thinking of this, Li Xuanshan immediately took out a jade talisman and crushed it.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

…

Not long after, two powerful figures rode rainbow lights over.

“Old Ghost Li, what happened?”

They were an elder in green and an elder in black.

Amongst them, the green-robed elder was called Wan Zhentian, and the black-robed elder was called Yuan Huachen. They were the two remaining Myth-realm patriarchs of the Dari Demonic Sect.

...

After receiving Li Xuanshan’s message, they thought that something big had happened on Tianmo Ridge, so they rushed over as quickly as they could.

“Old Ghost Li, you’re alright?”

Looking at Li Xuanshan who was perfectly fine, Wan Zhentian’s face darkened.

Yuan Huacheng’s reaction was the same.

They thought that Li Xuanshan was deliberately toying with them,

“Don’t get agitated. I called you here because I have something important to discuss.”

“Hmph, what important thing can you have?”

“That’s right. Unless you found a suitable person to be the sect master.”

The two snorted coldly, scoffing at Li Xuanshan’s words.

However, after Yuan Huachen finished speaking, Li Xuanshan nodded solemnly.

“You’re right. I’ve indeed found someone who can be the sect master and help us overcome the Great Tribulation of High Heavens…”

What was that? Did he really find someone?

The two of them were shocked.

Woosh!

Fiery gazes gathered on Li Xuanshan at the same time, and their eyes revealed infinite surprise and excitement.

“Tell me, who is it?”

“Is he a member of the Dari Demonic Sect or someone from outside?”

The two of them asked anxiously.

“Neither. Just now, I heard a mysterious voice of unknown origin. It told me that a heavens’ emissary had been born in Jiuzhou. His name is Dongfang Bubai. As long as I pray to him piously and offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouse as a reward, I can invite him to help us overcome the Great Tribulation of High Heavens.”

…

Li Xuanshan recounted everything that had happened.

After listening, the two looked at each other.

“Old Ghost Li, is what you said true?”

“Are you sure you didn’t hear wrongly?”

Both Wan Zhentian and Yuan Huachen had looks of disbelief on their faces at this moment. They had never heard of such a bizarre thing.

Still, Li Xuanshan nodded solemnly.

“I’ve already confirmed it again and again. That voice is real.”

“Uh… You called us over just for this?”

“Old Ghost Li, don’t tell me you really believe it? Also, are you planning to dig up all the ancestral graves in Tianmo Ridge?”

“Well, I’m considering it.”

…

F*ck, was he mad?

Seeing Li Xuanshan nod, Wan Zhentian and Yuan Huachen jumped in shock.

“The tombs of the past sect masters and ancestors of our Dari Demonic Sect are all buried in Tianmo Ridge. Even the tomb of our founding ancestor is there. Are you really going to dig up your ancestors’ graves for that illusory nonsense?” Yuan Huachen said in disbelief.

At this moment, in his eyes, Li Xuanshan was crazy.

“It’s better to believe it than not. As long as there’s a chance, I’m willing to give it a try. It’s worth it to use the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert to survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens.”

“However, since the founding of the Dari Demonic Sect, only the founder of the sect, Dugu Mie, has reached the Grotto-Heaven realm. Old Ghost Li, are you planning to dig up his grave?”

Wan Zhentian was also shocked.

“Other than that, there is no other way. Unless you can find a person to be the sect master within seven days…”

Uh…

Hearing this, the two of them shook their heads. Where were they going to find someone at this time?

“How about… We give it a try? What if it’s true?”

After a long silence, Yuan Huachen broke the silence and said.

Hearing this, Wan Zhentian struggled internally, but in the end, he lost to reality.

“Alright then. We can only try our best…” He sighed helplessly.

The few of them discussed for a moment before they picked up a few hoes and walked toward the depths of Tianmo Ridge.
