Ancient Records
Very quickly, Lin Luochen emerged from the tunnel and found a longsword stuck in the ground ahead, its cold light flashing.
He broke out in a cold sweat. If he had crashed into it, he wouldn’t just be split in two; he’d be rendered infertile!
Lin Luochen quickly fanned his folding fan, instantly leaping into the air, narrowly flying over the top.
He landed on a pile of sand and couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow, searching everywhere for the main culprit.
“Lan Shuiyun!!!”
But there was no sign of Lan Shuiyun around, only earthen jars placed in the four corners.
Lin Luochen was in a wide but crude tomb chamber; the cave entrance was located on the wall, and the ground was all mud.
This seemed to confirm his idea: something had indeed escaped from inside!
As Lin Luochen was cautiously looking around, a series of shrill cries came from behind.
Li Gousheng flew out of the cave entrance, landing on his bottom on a pile of dirt, sliding uncontrollably toward the longsword.
“Oh my god!”
He desperately grabbed the dirt, narrowly stopping himself; he was inches away from saying goodbye to his lower half’s happiness.
Li Gousheng, still shaken, grumbled, “Who the hell put this here?!”
Lin Luochen shrugged and said, “I don’t know, it wasn’t me anyway!”
Li Gousheng was about to say something when two figures flew out from behind, one after the other, crashing heavily into his back and pushing him forward several inches.
“Oh my gosh!”
Li Gousheng was about to cry; at the critical moment, Lin Luochen pulled out the longsword, saving his life.
Li Gousheng’s facial fat trembled in fear. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, “Brother, you saved my life!”
Lin Luochen almost burst out laughing. If his genitals counted as his life, then it was indeed a life-saving grace.
The Qin Tao brothers were clueless. They stood up bewildered and said, “Why is there a sword here? Where is Fairy Shuiyun?”
Lin Luochen shook his head and said, “I don’t know; she was gone when I came down!”
Li Gousheng grumbled, “She ran away? That damned woman must have done it!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Luochen; after all, the two of them might have just become good friends.
Unexpectedly, Lin Luochen remained unmoved. It seemed they were only a fleeting couple and hadn’t truly connected!
The Qin brothers didn’t think much of it either; they were clearly disappointed with Lan Shuiyun and had completely lost interest.
Lin Luochen walked towards one of the earthen jars. Upon opening it, he found that the contents had long turned to ash, leaving only a pool of black mud.
Several others were the same; only vaguely could he make out that they were grains. It seemed to be a small chamber for storing burial objects.
Lin Luochen immediately lost interest. After exploring for a while without finding any clues, he headed towards the passageway.
Although he held the night-luminescent pearl, the area it illuminated was getting smaller and smaller, as if even the light was being devoured by the darkness.
The footsteps of Li Gousheng and the others behind him also sounded heavy, not like the footsteps of cultivators.
Lin Luochen stopped and hesitantly said, “Fellow Daoist Li?”
The footsteps behind him also stopped, gently patting Lin Luochen’s shoulder, and a strange tone sounded.
“Fellow Daoist Li?”
The voice sounded like baby talk, causing Lin Luochen to be startled. He was about to turn around when Qu Lingyin stopped him.
“Don’t turn around, attack directly!”
Lin Luochen instinctively obeyed her, throwing his folding fan, which spun around him once.
With the shining thunder light illuminating, a scream came from behind, as if something had been injured by the thunder light.
Lin Luochen, surrounded by thunder, darted forward, quickly putting distance between himself and the attacker, while asking,
“Lingyin, what the hell is that thing? Where are Li Gousheng and the others?”
Qu Lingyin explained, “This ancient tomb seems to have a formation. You were sent to different locations by the formation.”
“This place seems to breed many evil spirits. Although they are not strong, they are extremely strange and should not be underestimated.”
“For example, the evil spirit just now wanted to lure you to turn around, extinguish the yang fire on your shoulder, and invade your body.”
Lin Luochen frowned and said, “It’s so strange. How can we prevent it? We can’t keep from turning around, can we?”
Qu Lingyin chuckled, “It can only make your yang fire appear within three breaths of patting your shoulder. Otherwise, you can turn around boldly!”
Lin Luochen felt relieved. He turned around and found no one behind him, only the long passageway.
He continued walking forward; the night-luminescent pearl in his hand completely lost its light, turning into a stone.
Lin Luochen could only grip his longsword, relying on his eyesight to judge, carefully groping his way forward.
On the other side, Qin Tao suddenly found that Lin Luochen and the others had disappeared, immediately realizing something was wrong.
“Qin Bin, Qin Bin, where are you?”
At that moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, causing him to quickly turn around.
“Who’s there!”
There was no one behind him. As he was suspicious and apprehensive, a ghostly face appeared before him, scaring the living daylights out of him.
“Ah!”
The ghostly face, taking advantage of his defenseless state, pounced on Qin Tao, who immediately screamed, clutching his head.
In another direction, Qin Bin was walking arm in arm with ‘Lan Shuiyun’, his hands rather restless.
“You slut, I knew you were a whore!”
The ‘Lan Shuiyun’ in his arms hung her head, looking pitiful and saying, “Yes, Big Brother Qin is right!”
Qin Bin felt relieved, his blood boiling. He didn’t even care that they were in a tomb and pushed her against the wall, wanting to go further.
At that moment, Qin Tao’s scream came from afar, causing Qin Bin to be startled.
“Big Brother? Big Brother!”
“Oh, what big brother? Let’s have some fun!”
A charming voice came from the ‘Lan Shuiyun’ beneath him, causing Qin Bin to be furious.
“You damn…woman…ah!!!”
Upon seeing what was beneath him, Qin Bin let out a scream of utter terror.
It wasn’t Lan Shuiyun at all; it was a rotting female corpse, scaring Qin Bin stiff.
The corpse opened its rotten lips and smiled, “Big Brother Qin, what’s wrong? Come on!”
Qin Bin suddenly rolled his eyes and fell onto the rotting flesh on the corpse’s chest, unconscious.
The corpse sighed regretfully, “Oh dear, he fainted so quickly. How boring!”
Unable to eat the lower half, it could only gnaw on Qin Bin’s head, and the passageway echoed with screams.
Li Gousheng, hearing the sounds from an unknown location, was terrified.
“Damn it, if I had known it was so dangerous, I wouldn’t have come. Damn Lan Shuiyun!”
He split his giant sword into two-handed swords, carefully groping his way forward, constantly looking around.
“Thank goodness I have boundless good fortune; all evil spirits retreat. Otherwise, I would really be done for!”
Li Gousheng muttered as he went forward, completely unaware that he was carrying an old man with a pale face on his back.
On the other side, Lin Luochen was in a tomb chamber, engaged in a fierce battle with a Peak Foundation Establishment corpse.
This corpse wore a Daoist robe and held a peach wood sword, which was rather ironic.
Judging by his attire, he was probably not an ancient person but a cultivator who had been trapped and died here.
This made Lin Luochen terrified; this place could trap and kill cultivators!
He seized the opportunity to take out a corpse suppression talisman given by Su Yuyao and pasted it on the corpse’s forehead. The corpse immediately became motionless.
Lin Luochen let out a long sigh of relief, put the corpse away, and prepared to find someone to refine it.
Thunder light flickered in his hand, allowing him to see the surroundings clearly. He discovered that the stone walls were engraved with writing.
Lin Luochen found that this was ancient writing. He was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to examine it.
Lin Luochen, combining his knowledge, diligently deciphered the text, barely understanding what it said, his heart stirred by a great wave of emotion.
This was exactly what he wanted to know, but it was different from what he had imagined!
In the God-Demon Calendar, 7300 years ago, the Human Race convened the Ten Thousand Clans Assembly. Our clan went to Tianyun Mountain Range to attend and discuss matters with various clans.
The Great Priest Chi Feng transmitted the Dharma for the Human Race and was revered as the Dao Ancestor. Xuan Yin, the leader of the Mystic Bird Tribe, was elected as the Human Race Leader.
The Mystic Bird, a divine beast, was subdued by our Human Race and swore to become our Human Race’s guardian beast, receiving a blessing from the Heavenly Dao.
Human Race Leader Xuan Yin made a great vow to lead our Human Race to rise and no longer be bullied by demons.
With the Mystic Bird Clan taking the lead, and with the support of the Bai Clan, Qing Clan, Black Mountain Clan, and Red Cloud Clan, the Human Race formed an alliance.
Because the alliance was the result of discussions among the ten thousand clans, it was named Shang, and Xuan Yin, the Clan Head of the Mystic Bird Clan, was appointed as the Human King.
Thereafter, under the leadership of Human King Xuan Yin, Dao Ancestor Chi Feng, and the leaders of various clans, the Shang Dynasty rapidly developed and expanded.
Human King Xuan Yin and Dao Ancestor Chi Feng worked together, slaying Demon Marquises and Demon Generals along the way, rescuing people from various places, and becoming renowned.
Various Human Race tribes responded and came to join, and the Human Race in Tianyun Mountain quickly grew strong.
Under the Dao Ancestor’s transmission of the Dharma, the Human Race produced an unprecedented number of strong people, and the overall situation was flourishing and thriving.
However, the good times did not last long. In the God-Demon Calendar, 7500 years ago, the Hongyun Demon Lord attacked.
Although the Shang Dynasty was united and fought alongside the Mystic Bird, it was still no match for the Hongyun Demon Lord.
The capital was destroyed, the Human King and Dao Ancestor were severely injured, and the Mystic Bird was severely wounded and dying.
In this crisis of survival, fortunately…
