With a turn of light, Li Yu soared into the sky. Moments later, he landed in front of the previous grand hall. Walking inside, he saw Zhou Yi deep in cultivation. Streams of vital energy flowed, and the sound of his bitter sea echoed, indicating he was at a critical juncture in opening it.
"Not bad. The bitter sea is about to be successfully opened," Li Yu nodded in approval, finding a place to sit and began reviewing his earlier gains.
Although the remnant soul of the Qing Emperor's descendant was not extremely powerful, his knowledge was very authentic. Whether it was the Emperor's Scripture, the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor, or the Eight Techniques of the Sky Demon, all were supreme arts.
More importantly, these techniques didn't require energy consumption to use. Although the system had scanned all the resources of this world, each one required energy to exchange for. Even if the energy consumption for the scriptures was minimal, with only about a thousand energy points, Li Yu was reluctant to waste them. He preferred acquiring items that didn't require energy to use.
"His cultivation insights and battle experience are quite valuable," Li Yu nodded, then shifted his attention to the slain monsters.
"System, extract the techniques, cultivation insights, and battle experiences from the transformed monsters. Although they aren't of great use, they can enrich the resource library. Convert the rest into energy," Li Yu commanded.
After the conversion, the system's energy increased slightly, reaching over two thousand points.
"Staying in this world for a year, with the true form of the Alligator Ancestor, the Immortal Sword Tianchi, and the Saint-level armor and longsword of the Alligator Ancestor, generally ensures my safety," Li Yu looked towards the volcanic crater, smiling, "If I can obtain the Qinglian Imperial Weapon and the Demon Emperor's Heart, it would be even safer."
A buzzing hum and dazzling light emanated from Zhou Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, wrapped in a luminous glow.
"The bitter sea has been opened? With manifestations of phenomena, his foundation seems solid," Li Yu smiled approvingly. However, his words hinted that Zhou Yi's foundation was only just adequate.
"In essence, he is still somewhat weak. To achieve significant success, he needs to exchange for a more powerful physique," Li Yu mused, "Zhou Yi is a descendant of the Ji family; he should naturally possess the divine body of the Ji family! The Void Emperor's Scripture, the Divine Body of the Eastern Wilderness—only then will he live up to his identity as the descendant of an Emperor!"
"Master!" Zhou Yi had finished his cultivation. Seeing Li Yu guarding nearby, he felt moved. Did the master worry for his safety?
"Yes. You've successfully opened the bitter sea; that's good," Li Yu nodded at Zhou Yi, "To walk the path of cultivation far, you must have a solid foundation. Though your foundation is decent now, it still falls short of contending with the geniuses of this world."
"Please, Master, guide me," Zhou Yi bowed in request.
"Although you are a descendant of the Emperor, your bloodline is rather diluted. To strengthen your foundation, start with your bloodline," Li Yu stood up, smiling at Zhou Yi, "Don't rush to increase your cultivation level. The foundation is everything."
"I understand," Zhou Yi nodded seriously.
"Prepare yourself. I'll take a look around," Li Yu said, stepping out of the hall and flying towards the volcano.
Within this volcano lay the tomb of the Qing Emperor. Although it was several months before its emergence, Li Yu intended to see if he could obtain it earlier.
At the volcano's edge, a sea of roiling flames and boiling lava filled the crater, painting the sky red.
"So hot," Even with his innate sacred body, Li Yu found the heat almost unbearable.
"Activate resource collection, absorb the heat," A black hole appeared around Li Yu, drawing in the surrounding heat, leaving him unaffected.
"Not bad," Li Yu nodded, stepping to the lava lake's edge, "The Qing Emperor's tomb is a grand hall buried in this lava. If I absorb the lava, can I directly uncover the tomb?"
With a curious and eager mind, Li Yu decided to test it. "Even if unsuccessful, absorbing this lava will replenish the system's energy. Let's give it a try!"
Waving his hand over the lava lake, a black hole appeared, creating a whirlpool that drew in the boiling lava.
"Indeed, it works," Seeing this, Li Yu laughed, "System, convert the collected lava into energy."
As time passed, the lava lake's level dropped, and the system's energy points rapidly increased—2500, 3000, 4000...
"Good. Even if the tomb isn't found, the energy alone makes it worthwhile," Watching the system's energy grow, Li Yu was overjoyed. With energy, everything becomes easier.
Hovering above the lava, Li Yu saw the lake level drop and a grand hall gradually revealed itself from the lava.
Before long, a resplendent grand hall emerged from the lake.
The magnificent hall was made entirely of five-colored divine jade, crystal clear, and radiant. Ancient texts adorned its walls and foundations, with characters resembling vines, dragons, and phoenixes, exuding a profound aura.
"This is the Qing Emperor's tomb?" Li Yu's eyes lit up with joy, "Hahaha, this object is fated for me!"
Landing in front of the hall, Li Yu approached.
"Boom!" A radiant flash and a powerful force surged, akin to a tsunami.
"Damn!" Li Yu was shocked, quickly drawing the Alligator Ancestor's power to form a protective barrier.
"Crack!" The barrier began to fracture under the force.
"I refuse to believe I can't withstand this!" Gritting his teeth, Li Yu donned the Alligator Ancestor's golden armor, though ill-fitting, it provided temporary protection.
"Clang..." The Immortal Sword Tianchi's energy erupted, slashing towards the oncoming force.
