Are You Freaking Toxic

After the Third Patriarch stepped out of the stone gate, he held the shrunk Dark Blood Battle Axe in his hand and gently stroked the cold axe body with his fingertips.

Feeling the boundless evil spirit and the latent power contained within it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a satisfied arc.

"Hey, this trip wasn't in vain after all," he thought to himself.

However, just as he relaxed his mind slightly -

"Boom...!!!"

The entire great tomb suddenly trembled violently without any warning! It was more violent than any previous movement!

It was as if the pillar supporting the heaven and earth had been shaken!

Immediately afterwards, a clear sense of the loosening of the restriction swept over like a flood breaking through a dam!

The previously imperceptible loosening had now turned into a slowly expanding crack. The entire restriction system of the great tomb let out a groan under the unbearable burden!

"Damn it! The great formation is about to collapse!"

The Third Patriarch's face changed drastically. This loosening far exceeded his expectations. If it really triggered a chain collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just at this critical moment.

On Purple Bamboo Peak, Gu Changge was sipping tea leisurely. Suddenly, his fingertips paused slightly, and his gaze fell towards the depths of a certain earth vein in the Wild State.

"Hmm?"

He let out a soft sound of surprise, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"The Third Patriarch is quite efficient. He actually managed to take away a formation eye, causing the restriction to loosen ahead of schedule."

He shook his head, seemingly a bit helpless yet also with a touch of calmness that saw through the world.

Then, his gaze shifted slightly and landed on a mountain peak. There, the fighting spirit was restrained. It was the critical moment for Xiao Ruobai to precipitate his cultivation and consolidate his King Realm.

"My disciple still needs some time to polish. The Emperor's Tomb is about to appear, but there's no need to rush!"

Gu Changge murmured to himself, as if having a conversation with the mysterious existence in the dark.

Before his voice fell, he pointed his fingers like a pen and gently tapped on the void in front of him.

There was no glow on his fingertips, but there was an invisible and intangible ripple containing supreme Dao charm that rippled into the void, spanning thousands of miles and precisely sinking into the core of the restriction of the Great Emperor's Tomb in the Wild State.

The ancient restriction, which was accelerating its decline due to the loss of the formation eye and was about to trigger a chain collapse, seemed to be injected with a gentle yet irresistible and boundless vitality. The process of collapse suddenly slowed down, and the speed at which the cracks were closing increased slightly.

Although it couldn't be completely repaired, it managed to temporarily stabilize the collapsing trend before a certain critical point.

"I said it would be a one - month period. It's one month. If you want to appear ahead of time, isn't that slapping my face?"

Gu Changge retracted his finger, his tone calm.

Inside the tomb, the Third Patriarch, who was about to break through by force, suddenly stopped his movements, his face full of surprise and uncertainty!

"Huh?! What's going on?!"

His pupils shrank suddenly as he carefully sensed the changes around him.

"The collapse has stopped? No, it's slowed down. It's been forcibly stabilized by a force?"

This sudden stability made his panicked heart calm down a bit.

Although he didn't know the reason, the crisis was temporarily averted for now.

"Fortunately, it's finally stabilized."

He let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the non - existent cold sweat from his forehead, and felt lingering fear.

But then, a thought that made his hair stand on end suddenly emerged:

"Wait, using such a fierce weapon as the support for the formation, and this is only the outer area. The collapsing momentum is earth - shattering.

Even a Saint King Realm expert like him felt a great sense of danger. What kind of ordinary ancient tomb is this? Could it be..."

A bold guess made his breath catch, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his inner shirt.

"Could this damned place be a Great Emperor's Tomb?!"

This thought exploded like a thunderbolt in the Third Patriarch's mind, making his previously relaxed mood due to obtaining the battle axe instantly tense up to the extreme!

A chill ran from the base of his spine straight to the top of his head!

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes as sharp as lightning, and stared fixedly at Blood Traceless, who was lying limp on the ground, still in shock. The more he looked at this kid, the more he thought he was unlucky!

"Damn it!"

The Third Patriarch couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He kicked Blood Traceless, who was lying on the ground, not too hard but not too soft either, his tone full of unbelievable annoyance and a sense of absurdity.

"I originally just wanted to find a place with 'good' feng shui to dig a pit and bury you unlucky guys from the Glazed Holy Land once and for all!"

"But what happened?!! Are you poisonous? Ah?! Just by randomly digging a place, you can directly dig into a Great Emperor's Tomb?!"

Blood Traceless shivered from the kick. He looked up blankly and met the Third Patriarch's eyes, which were a mixture of shock, fear, and a look of seeing a "plague god". He was even more frightened out of his wits.

He completely didn't understand what this old devil was going crazy about. He could only curl up his body tighter and tremble.

After the Third Patriarch cursed a few times, the pent - up anger in his heart eased a bit, but his expression became even more solemn.

"This is really a big problem!"

He murmured to himself. The little joy he had from obtaining the Saint - level weapon had long since disappeared, replaced by a heavy sense of pressure.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He raised his Saint King Realm aura to the extreme, and his spiritual sense spread out like the most precise spider web, cautiously extending towards the deeper part of the tomb.

Every step had to be taken with extreme caution, extreme caution!

Gu Changge took all this in.

Seeing the Third Patriarch looking as if he was facing a great enemy and carefully groping forward, the corners of his mouth curled up into an almost imperceptible faint arc. He found it quite interesting.

His gaze passed over the Third Patriarch and landed on the young figure lying limp on the ground, trembling. It was the quasi - Holy Son of the Glazed Holy Land, Blood Traceless.

"This young man..."

Gu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of understanding that saw through the essence flashed in his eyes.

"His fortune is quite peculiar. His fate line is dim, indicating a life full of hardships and often being a stepping - stone for others. However, there is a trace of tenacity of 'encounter' intertwined within it. He has a fate of 'planting trees for others but not being able to enjoy the shade himself'."

He gently shook his head, his tone with a touch of pity and playfulness as if he had insight into the secrets of heaven.

"No wonder the patriarch used him as a probing stone and repeatedly threw him into deadly situations, but he could always stumble upon opportunities in desperate situations. It's a pity that good fortune comes like a tide and goes like the wind. Although he has the ability to discover treasures, he doesn't have the capacity to hold on to good fortune.

Everything he obtains will ultimately not belong to him. He's just taking care of it for others for a short while."

"His character is timid, and his spiritual root is mediocre. Although he has the fate of encountering treasures, he doesn't have the capacity to bear them.

Getting involved in the vortex of the Emperor's Tomb this time, whether it's good fortune or disaster, it probably doesn't make a difference to him. In the end, it's just an illusion."

Then, his gaze was once again directed towards the depths of the Great Emperor's Tomb, as if he could penetrate the endless restrictions and see the silence and undercurrents at its core.

He didn't look any more and let the undercurrents in the depths of the earth vein surge on their own. Everything was still under his control.

Meanwhile, far in the direction of the Azure Profound Sect, three figures were walking through the air at a steady pace.

Their auras were restrained, but there was a sharp edge emanating from them. They were Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, and Fatty Wang who had come down from the mountain.

At this time, the three of them had restored their appearances to what they were after they came down from the mountain.

When they reached a crossroads, Fatty Wang suddenly stopped.

"Two senior brothers and third senior sister, I have to leave first."

Fang Hanyu was taken aback and looked at Fatty Wang in confusion. There was also a hint of surprise on Ling Xi's face.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang took out a wrinkled but faintly glowing leather map from his bosom and carefully spread it on a relatively flat boulder.

He stretched out his finger and pointed to an area marked with a ferocious lightning symbol on the edge of the map, named Thunder and Wind Valley.

"This place contains the power of thunderstorms and can trigger the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Gangs to refine the Nine - Heavens Thunder - Controlling Talisman!"

"I want to go there to refine talismans. If this talisman is successfully refined, its power will surely be earth - shattering!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became. His small eyes were shining, as if he had already seen the divine talisman being made.

Hearing this, Fang Hanyu, who was standing with his sword in his arms, glanced at the mark of Thunder and Wind Valley on the map and then looked up at Fatty Wang.

"Thunder and Wind Valley? It is rumored to be a dangerous place with violent thunder and unstable space. It's too risky for you to go there alone."

He said worriedly.

Hearing this, Fatty Wang quickly patted his chest, with a confident smile on his chubby face.

"Don't worry, Second Senior Brother! In terms of direct combat, I'm naturally no match for you and the First Senior Brother. But when it comes to the skills of saving my life, escaping, and avoiding disasters, I'm not boasting. I'm a professional!"

As he spoke, he mysteriously took out a stack of talismans with purple - qi lingering and mysterious runes from his storage bag.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, take a look!"

Fatty Wang lowered his voice, with a hint of pride.

"These are the life - saving trump cards I've recently refined! The Great Void Escape Talisman and the Great Teleportation Talisman! With these treasures, even if I really encounter some great horror and can't fight, can't I at least run away?"

He showed the treasures in his hand with full confidence.

"Moreover, I still have the life - saving trump card given by the Master before."

Fang Hanyu's eyes lingered on those treasures for a moment. He knew that although this junior brother had a lively personality, he was really good at saving his life. Coupled with the treasures bestowed by the Master, his safety should be guaranteed.

He nodded slightly, but with a hint of concern: "In that case, be careful in everything. Whether the talisman is successfully refined or not is secondary. Come back safely."

"Sure thing! Second Senior Brother, just wait and see!"

Fatty Wang grinned, quickly put away the treasures, and bowed to Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi beside him.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I'll take my leave first! After I'm done, I'll immediately go to meet you!"

After saying that, his figure flashed. Surprisingly nimble, he turned into a yellowish - brown stream of light and rushed towards the direction of Thunder and Wind Valley. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the sky.

After Fatty Wang left, only Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi were left at the crossroads.

Ling Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly tilted her head slightly and looked towards the southwest.

The faint and ethereal aura around her now rippled with a very subtle wave. Her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was sensing something.

"Second Senior Brother."

She slowly spoke, her voice as ethereal as the cold spring in a secluded valley.

"I also sense that there seems to be a place in the southwest that resonates with the path I'm cultivating. Maybe it's an opportunity. I want to go and explore it."

Hearing this, Fang Hanyu looked at Ling Xi.

This Third Senior Sister had always been mysterious. The path she cultivated was extremely profound and unpredictable. Although her personality was cold, her spiritual sense was extremely sharp.

Since she could have such a clear sense, this opportunity must be extraordinary.

Almost without hesitation, he simply asked, "Opportunities are rare and should be grasped. But the situation ahead is unknown. Do you need me to go with you?"

Ling Xi gently shook her head, her eyes clear and firm: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. This is a guide on my own path. I can go alone."

"Understood." Fang Hanyu nodded.

"Okay, be careful in everything. Remember, if you encounter a difficult situation, don't force yourself. Immediately send a message. Safety comes first."

Ling Xi nodded slightly as a response.

She didn't say any more. Her green shirt fluttered slightly, and she melted into the wind like a wisp of green smoke, floating towards the southwest. Her figure quickly blurred, and her aura completely dissipated.
