Chapter 1323: Chapter 542: Heavenly Tomb Secrets! Call of the Soul!

Silence.

The joy he had felt upon seeing Li Feng just moments ago vanished into thin air. He finally understood exactly how the continuous hums of the sword had affected Zhu Linxin. It also suddenly dawned on him why Xiao Qing had found it so unbearable to face these sounds in the Heavenly Tomb, whereas Qian Yi had remained completely unaffected.

Qian Yi’s very soul was a Sword Soul. Naturally, it wouldn’t be affected by such battering. On the contrary, all signs indicated that Qian Yi not only felt no pain but was actually extremely comfortable and content.

But what about the others?

Su Ping looked at Li Feng and asked, “Captain Li, then you…”

Li Feng’s gaze was helpless, but he then nodded nonchalantly.

Su Ping stood up abruptly. “No, we have to find whatever is making those sword hums as soon as possible. Otherwise… Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Tomb Army will be wiped out without a doubt!”

Li Feng nodded. “Don’t rush, Master Su. We currently need to open up gathering points in the other rooms to condense the Black Sword, so this is no time to panic. However, can you sense the exact location of those sword hums?”

At his words, Su Ping frowned slightly. Indeed, he had been continuously ravaged by the sword hums, but the special nature of this gray mist made finding their hidden source nearly impossible. The true ultimate goal of the Heavenly Tomb and the mastermind behind it could not be uncovered in such a short amount of time.

Something wasn’t right! Su Ping’s brows knitted tightly together. He must have gotten something wrong in his reasoning.

He looked at the world before him. The Li Feng in front of him was naturally not a fake. Rather, it was his own line of thinking that seemed to be inaccurate. He sat right down on the ground, falling deep into thought.

Seeing this, Li Feng didn’t hesitate or delay. He began to set things up within the gray mist, treating this area as their central hub. This was the center of the spiderweb.

Not long after, the three of them obtained the Black Sword through the tombstone node they had opened earlier, and then resolutely set off to explore the surrounding gray mist. Su Ping was the only one left behind. As the guard of this central point and the person everyone was protecting, he remained at the origin.

This was perfect, as Su Ping also needed time to carefully sort through everything he had experienced since entering the Heavenly Tomb. One thing was certain now: the uniqueness of this Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm was not specifically targeting outsiders. To Su Ping, this seemed to be an extremely special Spirit Land! Or rather, a Spirit Land formed by a combination of Space Characteristics and external factors.

Qian Yi thrust its sword forward, and the Sword of Gold once again drew out the thick, deathly gray mist. After greedily gulping down another massive mouthful, it finally let out a satisfied burp.

Su Ping looked at the gray mist. The aura of this pure Death Energy far exceeded the maximum limit a Monarch Level could withstand. So where did this gray mist and Death Energy come from?

The Heavenly Tomb’s setup over so many years couldn’t possibly be continuously fueled by some specific resource. No resource could sustain an uninterrupted energy output for thousands, let alone tens of thousands of years.

Su Ping thought of a possibility. The Ghost Tide at the Northern Border.

The entire Legion, including Leng Ye, was completely baffled. They had no idea what the Undead around the Heavenly Tomb were trying to achieve by launching fearless, relentless attacks over the past few months. But at this moment, an expected thought popped into Su Ping’s mind. It was just like the water tide in the Eastern Sea back then. His dad had also mentioned that such suicidal tidal attacks were highly likely meant to sacrifice their own souls.

Now, Su Ping had reason to believe that this sacrificial process likely didn’t just exist in the current era. Rather, it had been repeating continuously over at least the past millennium. Its purpose was to provide an energy supply for the main tomb of the Heavenly Tomb.

Meanwhile, due to the effects of some Skill Ability or Space Characteristics, Undead Series creatures continuously emerged from within that gray mist. These Undead weren’t even worthy of possessing self-awareness upon birth; they instantly became nutrients—or rather, fuel—for the primary entity residing in the Heavenly Tomb. Then, after being processed by this Space Secret Realm, they became the Black Sword.

Those continuous sounds existed to transform the souls of all Living Beings within this spatial region into swords. Once sacrificed, they could use this Secret Realm and the special Spirit Land setup outside the Heavenly Tomb to feed back energy. This formed a massive Undead cycle, causing the external Undead Pet Beasts to be born faster and stronger!

“What a terrifying Spirit Land,” Su Ping thought. “It truly lives up to being created by that kind of entity, and this is merely one of them!”

At this thought, Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly. He formulated a hypothesis. More importantly, he suddenly recalled the situation within the Heavenly Tomb’s perimeter before they had entered.

Admittedly, he had entered the most massive Heavenly Tomb at the very center, which was also the true body and core of the Heavenly Tomb. However, if he remembered correctly, there were also numerous identical tombstone kingdoms surrounding this Heavenly Tomb.

Those must be the Undead Series Spirit Lands. Those countless tombstones stretched on for a full hundred miles.
