Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"It can't be wrong."

"These are the robes from twenty years ago."

He looked up at Lu Yuguan, his tone heavy.

"That year, the Damang Mountain was struck by a once-in-a-century earthquake, causing landslides and cracks, and the family's foundation was almost destroyed."

"In my time of crisis, I was fortunate to receive help from a benefactor."

"Not only did he use his immense magical power to stabilize the mountain, but he also bestowed upon it a miraculous medicine, which saved my father, who was critically injured and on the verge of death, as well as several elders."

"To express their gratitude, the Cao family gifted all of the finest animal-patterned robes they had made that year to that noble person."

Lu Yuguan's breath hitched.

"What is that distinguished person's name?"

Cao Yin shook his head.

"I don't know."

“Due to the passage of time, the elders who personally experienced this event have all passed away.”

"I only learned from their scattered conversations that the noble lady was a fairy of unparalleled beauty."

Fairy!

Lu Yuguan's heart was pounding.

The gender matches!

His identity is that of a cultivator!

He suppressed his excitement, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother Cao, that fairy is very likely my birth mother!"

Cao Yin's eyes widened: "What!?"

"Is this serious?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Lu Yuguan nodded. "Brother Cao, is there any trace of that fairy left in your mansion? Or did she go anywhere back then?"

Cao Yin pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh!

"Have!"

“My father once mentioned that the fairy was not interested in other places in the Great Mang Mountain, but was only interested in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts, and even went in to explore it.”

The Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts?

Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up.

"Brother Cao, where is the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"It's right behind the mountain."

Cao Yin pointed in the direction, "It is called a tomb, but it is actually a deep forest where countless monster corpses are buried. It is also where my Cao family obtains top-quality furs."

"Brother Lu, you mean..."

"good."

Lu Yuguan's gaze was intense.

"The fairy and I are deeply connected by our past lives. I must go to see the places she has been."

"I would be grateful if Brother Cao could do me this favor."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yin laughed heartily and patted Lu Yuguan's shoulder forcefully.

"What's so difficult about this?"

"You saved my life. Even if you empty the Cao family's warehouse, let alone enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts, I, Cao Yin, would not say a word!"

……

Half an hour later.

Cao Yin personally escorted Lu Yuguan to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tomb.

Before me lay a valley crevice shrouded in mist, and a murky atmosphere assaulted my senses.

"Brother Lu, be careful."

"Although there are no living creatures in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts, there are still remnants of the will of demonic beasts in some places. Do not venture into unknown areas."

Lu Yuguan cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Cao. I know what I'm doing."

Having said that, Lu Yuguan stepped into the valley.

After watching the other person disappear into the mist, Cao Yin turned and went back to his residence.

As soon as he stepped into the front hall, a servant responsible for guarding the cemetery rushed over, his face filled with worry.

"Young Master! You allowed Young Master Lu into the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"what happened?"

Cao Yin picked up his teacup.

The servant swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Young master, you're too busy, you may not know... something's been going on in the tomb lately."

"say clearly."

"Well... there are always birds chirping coming from the doorway. They're not like the usual wailing of demonic beasts. They're creepy, and none of us dare to go inside."

"Do you think Young Master Lu might be in danger?"

Cao Yin's expression suddenly changed, and he slammed the teacup on the table with a "clatter".

He stood up abruptly, his brows furrowed.

"Why did it have to be at this time..."

……

at the same time.

Inside the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Lu Yuguan walked slowly forward, curiously looking around.

Cao Yin was right; this place is more like a primeval forest than a tomb.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches twisted and gnarled.

Beneath your feet lies a thick layer of humus, soft and silent when you step on it.

"Such rich spiritual energy..."

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath, his pores opening up. "No wonder it can breed prey with excellent fur."

The spiritual energy here is purer than that of the outside world, and the deeper you go, the taller the trees become.

A strange sense of familiarity quietly rose in Lu Yuguan's mind.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the faint sound of flowing water could be heard ahead.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

A crystal-clear lake is nestled quietly in the forest, its smooth surface reflecting the surrounding ancient, verdant trees.

When Lu Yuguan saw the entire lake, he was struck dumb, frozen in place!

This lake...

It was exactly the same as what he saw when he was in a hallucination at the School of Etiquette!

"How can it be……"

Lu Yuguan muttered to himself, his heart pounding.

How could the scenes in the illusion actually exist in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts?

He walked quickly to the lakeside and reached out to touch the water.

Bitingly cold.

The texture feels incredibly realistic.

Lu Yuguan stared intently at the lake surface; the water was extremely deep and unfathomable.

however.

Just as he focused his gaze on the depths of the lake, he vaguely saw a figure sleeping at the deepest part of the lake.

Lu Yuguan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Respiratory arrest.

How could there be someone at the bottom of the lake?!

Lu Yuguan stripped naked and plunged into the lake.

goooo...

But as he approached the figure, he suddenly recognized its appearance—

Li Le.

Prince of Longhua.

Miao'er's biological father.

Li Le!

Lu Yuguan's brain trembled.

Without thinking twice, he grabbed Li Le's dragon arm, pulled him off the lake bottom, and dragged him to the bluestone on the shore.

puff.

Water droplets splashed everywhere.

Li Le's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and his skin was swollen from being soaked in water, with a faint grayish tinge.

The features of the half-dragon people are even more bizarre.

His forehead was dull and lifeless, his finger joints were large, and the scales on his neck were swollen and deformed from prolonged soaking.

"Li Le?"

Lu Yuguan tentatively called out.

no respond.

He reached out and touched the side of his neck.

Ice cold.

There was no pulse.

He then bent down and pressed his ear to his chest.

silence.

My heart had already stopped beating.

Lu Yu's head sank.

died?

He frowned and reached out to turn his body over.

"This...this is!"

Lu Yuguan took a breath of cold air.

A deep claw mark cut diagonally from Li Le's right shoulder to his left waist, almost tearing his back apart!

Even more chilling was the fact that the claw marks were sharp at the tips, with clear scale marks.

It's a dragon claw!

Lu Yuguan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Li Le was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a powerful physical body and the protection of a half-dragon body.

A single, fatal blow, leaving such a gruesome dragon claw wound...

All over the world.

Who else could it be but Li Ping, who also possesses dragon energy?!

Lu Yuguan's mind raced.

In order to become an immortal, Li Ping did not hesitate to slaughter the royal bloodline.

Li Le is a prince, and he carries the blood of the dragon, so he would indeed be Li Ping's target!

Why would Li Le appear at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tomb Lake?

Isn't he wandering in the void?

Li Le eventually fled to this place where he was pursued and killed by Li Ping...

still is……

Did Li Ping set up an ambush here?

Lu Yuguan felt a chill run down his spine.

If Li Ping is nearby...

He looked up sharply.

Ancient trees stood all around, shrouded in mist, and the lake was eerily calm.

"Not good..."

Lu Yuguan muttered to himself, his palms sweating.

We need to get out of here as soon as possible!

He was preparing to collect Li Le's body—

Click!

From the distant woods, a soft snapping sound suddenly came from a dry branch.

Lu Yuguan froze, his hair standing on end.

someone!
