Chapter 1966: Arriving at Green Cloud City

Translator: Legge

Tang Ziyi said, “It’s precisely because of the terrifying curse of the Emperor’s Tomb that almost no Perfected Immortal or Kings have attempted to enter the tomb in recent years.”

“The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the impact of the curse…”

Su Zimo said deeply, “In other words, if a Black Immortal enters the Emperor’s Tomb, they will suffer the least damage from the curse?”

“Indeed,”

Tang Ziyi said, “However, even if the damage caused by the curse is small, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any. Every living being that enters the Emperor’s Tomb, no matter their race, will be tainted by the curse and no one can avoid it.”

!!

“Of course, that curse is not a fatal threat to Black Immortals,”

Su Zimo could tell what Tang Ziyi was implying and asked, “What other effects will there be if there’s no fatal threat?”

“It’s uncertain,”

Tang Ziyi said, “If you can’t remove the curse in your body, it’ll be difficult for you to break through to the Earth Immortal realm for the rest of your life. There’s a high chance that your lifespan will deteriorate and various conditions will happen to your body.”

Su Zimo gradually understood.

It was no wonder why Prince Yuan Zuo did not look for disciples of other sects or aristocratic families.

That was because no sect or aristocratic family would send their personal disciples and descendants into the Emperor’s Tomb!

If the curse could not be removed, it would affect a cultivator’s life.

There was a high chance that a paragon of a generation would die and fade into the masses!

However, among the cultivators that ascended from the lower worlds, Prince Yuan Zuo could casually choose a hundred people for him to command and enter the Emperor’s Tomb!

These cultivators of the lower worlds even had to be grateful to Prince Yuan Zuo.

Tang Ziyi said, “Once experts like Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals enter the Emperor’s Tomb, they will be cursed and won’t be able to return.”

“Although we’ll also be cursed upon entering the Emperor’s Tomb, we will be the least affected. Within, we can move freely or even fight.”

“As long as we don’t stay in the Emperor’s Tomb for too long, we can definitely return alive.”

Su Zimo asked, “Why does Prince Yuan Zuo want us to enter the Emperor’s Tomb?”

“I don’t know about that,”

Tang Ziyi shook her head gently.

Su Zimo fell into deep thought.

According to Tang Ziyi, an Immortal Emperor was once buried in the Emperor’s Tomb. Notwithstanding the rare treasures and secret skills collected by the Immortal Emperor in his lifetime, even the Perfected Immortals and Kings who died within had countless treasures.

There was a high chance that Prince Yuan Zuo wanted them to enter the Emperor’s Tomb to search for treasures or inheritances.

However, no matter what, the Emperor’s Tomb was definitely a dangerous place!

It was not only the strange curse.

Now that the Emperor’s Tomb had descended on Divine Firmament Mainland, apart from them, there must be other Exalted Immortal experts who controlled Black Immortals to enter the Emperor’s Tomb to search for opportunities for them.

Notwithstanding the other immortal regions, there were three Immortal Kingdoms and countless sects in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain alone.

If they encountered other parties, a fight was inevitable!

That was also the reason why Prince Yuan Zuo spent so much effort to select a hundred Grade 9 Black Immortals who could fight well and were strong.

Unless necessary, Su Zimo would not take the risk even after knowing about a secret like the Emperor’s Tomb.

But now, he had no choice given the circumstances.

The security on the immortal ship was not strict. However, even if he could escape, his spirit consciousness imprint was still on the Hunting Ranking.

As long as Prince Yuan Zuo willed, he could be found at any moment!

That was a huge threat.

It was as though Prince Yuan Zuo was wielding a sharp sword that was hanging on his neck and could slash down at any moment!

He had to think of a way to resolve this matter to prevent future troubles.

As Su Zimo pondered, his gaze instinctively landed on Tang Ziyi.

If Tang Ziyi’s target was truly Prince Yuan Zuo, the two of them could join forces.

However, even if the two of them joined forces, it would be difficult for them to deal with Prince Yuan Zuo.

Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness could only vaguely sense that Prince Yuan Zuo was an Earth Immortal and could not clearly detect his level.

Furthermore, Prince Yuan Zuo had a noble status and the bloodline of King Jin flowed through his body. He had interacted with top-tier experts since he was young and no one knew what trump cards he had.

Moreover, Tang Ziyi was prideful and operated alone—she might not join forces with him.

“What are you thinking about staring at me for so long?!”

Suddenly, Tang Ziyi’s voice sounded in Su Zimo’s mind. Her tone was unfriendly with a hint of anger.

Su Zimo rubbed his chin and stared at her back for a long time.

She thought that Su Zimo had some evil thoughts and could not help but feel frustrated.

“It’s fine,”

Retracting his gaze, Su Zimo replied casually and suppressed the matter for the time being.

When Tang Ziyi saw that, she thought that Su Zimo was feeling guilty and said coldly, “Indeed, I owe you a favor. However, let me warn you not to harbor any nonsensical thoughts!”

Su Zimo was confused and did not know what was wrong with this woman. Instinctively, he asked, “What nonsensical thoughts?”

“You…”

Tang Ziyi was speechless. Gritting her teeth, she decided not to say anything more.

The immortal ship carried everyone at an extremely fast speed and arrived at Mu Feng City, which was closest to Absolute Thunder City, in less than three days.

Thereafter, everyone entered Mu Feng City and made use of its teleportation formation to descend upon the central city of Green Cloud County, Green Cloud City!

There were a total of 16 counties in the territory of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and each county had a central city.

Typically, the princes and County Governors would watch over the 16 central cities.

The moment everyone arrived in Green Cloud City, they could sense that the atmosphere in the city was clearly not right and was extremely depressing.

The city was heavily guarded.

There were guards patrolling the city walls at all times.

The cultivators in the city were flustered and averted their gazes in fear.

Traces of Execution Guards could be seen everywhere in the ancient city.

The impact of the Thunder Emperor’s escape was gradually showing.

As long as the Thunder Emperor was not captured, many people in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom would not be able to eat or sleep in peace as time passed.

Of course, no matter how guarded the ancient city was, no one dared to stop the carriage of Prince Yuan Zuo.

Su Zimo and the others rode on the immortal ship and followed the carriage of Prince Yuan Zuo. The journey was almost smooth and they arrived at the residence of the prince.

Before the group of them had a chance to rest, a maidservant brought them to a hall.

The hall was grand and resplendent with jewels and gems—it was unimaginably luxurious everywhere.

Everyone entered the hall and looked around with shocked expressions, attracting exclamations.

Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi were extremely calm.

It was Tang Ziyi’s nature.

However, for Su Zimo, he was unimpressed. In terms of shock, the Human Emperor’s Palace that appeared in Tianhuang Mainland was enough to beat this palace instantly.

Before long, Prince Yuan Zuo appeared and sat on the highest throne in the hall, looking down at Su Zimo and the others.

The crowd quietened down before long.

“If you want to follow me and stay by my side, you have to perform well,”

Prince Yuan Zuo said slowly, “There’s an opportunity as such right now. If any of you can contribute greatly, I’ll make him my personal guard!”

Pausing for a moment, he gave an evil chuckle. “That person can even choose any of the beauties around me to be his Dao companion.”
