Necropolis Immortal

any situation, rather than blindly apply the old ways without thinking.
A veil seemed to have been lifted from Lu Yun’s eyes.

For the longest time, he’d fancied himself the best commandant in all of history, exceeding even the sect grandmaster himself.
Only now did he see just how ridiculously wrong he’d been.
He was who he was because of the accumulated experience of his seniors, and he’d only been retracing their footsteps without finding his own way.

“What the ancestors have passed down is valuable, but to become the best, I must distill the finest of my experiences and form my own judgements,” muttered Lu Yun.
“Their experience is my reference, but not something to put blind faith in.”

Qing Han nodded in agreement.
“Do you know where we are now?”

Lu Yun frowned.
He recalled a fearsome myth, but he wasn’t sure if it was the truth.
“How did we get up here?” he asked instead.

“I don’t know either.” Qing Han shook his head.
“As I walked, I realized that the pressure from the tomb had gone away.
Then here we were.”

“That’s it then!” Lu Yun took in a deep breath.
“This is a tomb realm, a special place unique to the Skandha Extinction Tomb.
It’s not inside the tomb, but it’s even more dangerous!”

Tombs were to tomb realms what formations were to feng shui layouts.
Tombs influenced their surroundings, and the older the tomb, the stronger the influence.
It was said that some extremely ancient tombs could give rise to a strange realm in their vicinity.
It was a space neither alive nor dead, neither real nor fake.

“A tomb realm?” Qing Han had never heard the term before.

Lu Yun used the Dragonsearch Invocation and channeled his inner energy into a luopan.

Bam!

The feng shui compass shattered as soon as it appeared, prompting a deep inhalation.
“Looks like my guess is right!”

The luopan was used to find dragon veins and determine feng shui layouts.
Though the version he manifested with his internal energy wasn’t real, he could say for sure that a real compass would malfunction here as well.
It was an effect that only the fabled tomb realm could achieve.

“Can we still get out?” Qing Han asked softly.

“If we can get in, we can get out.
I heard about the tomb realms a long time ago, but never thought I’d be so lucky as to enter one!” A smile tugged at Lu Yun’s lips.
“We didn’t find anything valuable in the Skandha Extinction Tomb, so we can’t pass up whatever we find in here.

“Put your hand on my shoulder and follow me.” He directed his friend.
“The greater the risk, the greater the reward; maybe there’s incredible treasure to be found here.”

Qing Han followed Lu Yun’s directions with a hand on his shoulder.
“Should we have Aoxue and the others come help?” he asked worriedly.

“They can’t.” Lu Yun shook his head.
“This place is completely cut off from everything else.
It’s up to us now.”

He’d tried to open the doorway between the two realms and summon Yuying and the others when he woke up.
However, though he could open the Gates of the Abyss, he couldn’t see the netherworld behind them.
That was what had made him think of the tomb realm.

……

“Hahaha—Qing Han! Lu Yun!!” A grating voice suddenly rang out, thick with venom and edged with insanity.
“You two are finally here.
Hahaha! Die, die, die! I want you dead!!”

“Qing Hongchen?” Qing Han reflexively looked up and found a young man hanging not far away above them.
It was none other than Qing Hongchen, who’d been thrown into a teleportation formation from the burial mound without a set destination.
