Xuanyangzi was stunned for a long while before muttering, "This... the aura of this ancient tomb is too terrifying! The Third Patriarch actually ventured into such a place?"
Shi Wanshan also breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again. "It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine! But looking at the imposing nature of this ancient tomb, it must be extremely dangerous. Could it be..."
Xuanyangzi still couldn't hide the shock and doubt in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "Changge, where exactly is this ancient tomb? The surrounding environment looks treacherous. Will the Third Patriarch..."
Gu Changge lightly flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual light lit up again, revealing the landscape around the ancient tomb. The mountains stretched endlessly, the vegetation was desolate, and the ground was crisscrossed with ravines, completely different from ordinary mountain ranges.
"This place... why does it look so familiar?"
A voice filled with confusion rang out. It was Fatty Wang, who had restored his original appearance.
Hearing the voice, Xuanyangzi and Shi Wanshan froze. They both turned to look at Fatty Wang, their faces full of surprise. Who was this kid?
Only then did they notice—when did the Qingxuan Sect get such a person?
He looked very unfamiliar.
But at this moment, their minds were entirely focused on the safety of the Third Patriarch, and they had no mood to ask about his origins. Shi Wanshan quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "You recognize this place? Hurry up and tell us, where is this!"
Xuanyangzi also nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed tightly on Fatty Wang, waiting for his answer.
"This place is in the Desolate State!"
Fatty Wang's eyes were certain as he turned to look at Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, do you still remember? Previously, at the ruins of the Demon Heaven Sect, I told you that I accidentally discovered a treasured land with excellent Feng Shui that I just couldn't enter. This is the place!"
Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu exchanged a glance, then nodded as they remembered.
Fatty Wang had indeed mentioned this matter back then, but they hadn't paid much attention to it. To think it was actually this mysterious grand tomb.
Right at this moment, Gu Changge's divine sense had already probed deep into the ancient tomb, sweeping past layers of restrictions and streams of runes, touching the core aura that had been sealed for an eternity.
A trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, followed by a smile curving on his lips as he spoke indifferently, "Interesting."
"Changge, what's wrong?" Xuanyangzi quickly asked.
Gu Changge raised his eyes, his tone calm but carrying a weight that could not be ignored. "This tomb is not the burial ground of an ordinary ancient mighty figure, but the tomb of a Great Emperor."
"Wh... what?! The tomb of a Great Emperor?!"
These words exploded like thunder. Xuanyangzi and Shi Wanshan instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of unbelievable shock.
Xiao Ruobai and the other two also turned solemn, intense surprise flashing in their eyes.
Everyone knew what the words "Great Emperor" meant in the Xuanhuang Great World.
That was an existence standing at the pinnacle of cultivation, looking down upon eternity.
A Great Emperor's tomb contained the legacy of the Emperor's path and endless secrets, but it was also accompanied by lethal dangers. Since ancient times, those who could truly step into a Great Emperor's tomb and retreat unscathed were few and far between!
Fatty Wang was so shocked that his mouth hung wide open, his body freezing. "A... a Great Emperor's tomb? The place I almost barged into back then was actually a Great Emperor's mausoleum?"
He had originally thought it was just a secret realm rich in spiritual energy, never expecting it to be such a heaven-defying existence. For a moment, he felt an incomparable shock in his heart, rejoicing that he hadn't forced his way in back then.
Gu Changge withdrew his divine sense, tapping his fingertips lightly on the stone table, his tone indifferent. "The Third Patriarch knows his limits inside. Right now, they are only at the periphery of the grand tomb. That little bit of danger is nothing to him. Rest assured, there is absolutely no threat to his life."
He paused and added, "The seal on this grand tomb has loosened. It is estimated that it will fully emerge in a month. By then, the eyes of all regions will probably converge here. It will be quite a bustling scene."
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi and Shi Wanshan's hanging hearts finally settled down, the anxiety on their faces mostly dissipating. Only then did they become slightly distracted, their gazes coincidentally falling on Fatty Wang to the side.
Xuanyangzi looked at this very unfamiliar kid and couldn't help but look at Xiao Ruobai. "Ruobai, this kid is..."
"Answering Martial Uncle, he is the personal disciple Master just accepted, Qin Yuechen."
Xiao Ruobai hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Oh? Accepted another disciple?"
Xuanyangzi's eyes lit up, and his gaze toward Fatty Wang instantly grew a bit more fervent.
Given how high Gu Changge's standards were, for this kid to be accepted as a personal disciple, he was definitely not simple.
Shi Wanshan also nodded in agreement, a smile appearing on his face, already calculating in his mind what meeting gift to take out.
"Haha, good lad! To be able to catch Changge's eye, your future prospects are limitless!"
Xuanyangzi spoke first. With a wave of his hand, a warm jade pendant floated in front of Fatty Wang.
"Meeting for the first time, I don't have anything too good. This 'Clear Heart Pendant' can protect your mind and ward off inner demons. Take it and play with it."
Fatty Wang hurriedly reached out to catch it. Feeling the cool aura coming from the jade pendant, he quickly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
Seeing this, Shi Wanshan didn't hesitate either. With a wave of his large hand, an ancient-looking official seal appeared in his palm. The body of the seal was carved with complex patterns, faintly exuding the coercion of a king. It was exactly a King-tier Artifact!
He was just about to hand it over, smiling as he said, "I'll join in the fun too. This 'Seal'..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Wanshan's movements suddenly paused. His eyes stared fixedly at Fatty Wang, his pupils suddenly shrinking—
This kid's aura, this demeanor... why did he look more and more like that little fatty outside the ruins of the Demon Heaven Sect, who was following behind Xiao Ruobai and whom he had stripped until only his underwear remained?!
This Heaven-Turning Seal seemingly, possibly, probably, looked like it was stripped from this kid back then...
The smile on Shi Wanshan's face instantly froze, and his hand unconsciously shrank back. He cursed himself inwardly for being careless, only now realizing that the other party was actually that little fatty, and even more unexpectedly, had now been taken in as a disciple by Changge.
If he returned the thing he stripped from someone as a meeting gift, wouldn't that be a massive joke?
But his movements were half a beat too slow. Fatty Wang had already locked eyes on the Heaven-Turning Seal in his hand. His eyes widened into perfect circles, staring fixedly at that seal, his breathing becoming rapid.
The appearance of this seal, the patterns on it, and even that faint connection he felt with it...
He couldn't be more familiar with it! It was precisely the King-tier Artifact he valued as his own life, which had been looted away by that "god-damned black-hearted thief"—the Heaven-Turning Seal!
"You...!"
Fatty Wang suddenly raised his head, his chubby finger pointing at Shi Wanshan, his voice trembling from extreme shock and anger.
"It's you! That black-hearted thief who stripped me naked... no, who robbed my Heaven-Turning Seal?!"
He was shaking all over with anger, his small eyes practically shooting fire!
So the culprit who knocked him out, stripped him down to his underwear, and swiped almost all his belongings was actually this person?!
Exposed on the spot, Shi Wanshan's old face instantly flushed bright red, so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
He coughed dryly twice, his eyes darting around as he tried to salvage a bit of his dignity as an elder. "Ahem... well... Little Fatty... ah no, Martial Nephew Yuechen... it's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! At that time, your Martial Uncle was... was..."
He stuttered "was..." for a long time, truly unable to fabricate a reasonable excuse. He couldn't exactly say, "I saw you acting suspiciously, so I conveniently robbed you," right?
Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi were also stunned. They looked at Fatty Wang, who was jumping up and down in anger, and then at Shi Wanshan, who was red in the face and completely flustered. In an instant, it dawned on them.
The corner of Xiao Ruobai's mouth twitched. Fighting back a smile, he deliberately put on a stern expression and said, "Martial Uncle Shi, this 'welcome gift' of yours... is certainly unique!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
