Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 2809 - A frightening deduction

2809 A frightening deduction

“Go and find the black donkey, and have him ask Senior Zhou Heng,” Ling Han said. There was an unknown number of high-level Heavenly Venerates eyeing Ling Han now, so revealing himself publicly would be too dangerous.

The large black dog nodded, and was just about to turn and leave when he immediately stopped again, and exclaimed, “That’s right. Grandpa Dog almost forgot about the real business!”

“What real business?”

“Lord Yuan Sheng has discovered the tomb of an ancient Heavenly Venerate from historical records. It is extremely possible that there is a Heavenly Venerable Seal within!” The large black dog revealed a shocking piece of news.

“Hm?” Ling Han’s eyes brightened. “Are you sure that is reliable?”

Celestial Kings were already immortal, what more Heavenly Venerates? How would they die?

The large black dog nodded. “That was a Fifth Tier Heavenly Venerate. A great problem came up when he had been attempting to break through to the Sixth Tier, and that was what caused his death. There are a great many historical records that can verify this. But this Heavenly Venerate did not have any children or disciples, so no one knew where he was buried.

“That is until the energy storm that has recently risen. It has even affected various places in the Flaming Frost Realm, and only then has his burial spot finally seen the light of day again.”

Ling Han thought for a moment. “Going by that theory, we wouldn’t be the only ones that would be eyeing this tomb, then?”

“There should be quite a number.” The large black dog nodded. “Thus, Lord Yuan Sheng wanted to find help. Originally, Grandpa Dog had wanted to find your son. However, since you are back now, Grandpa Dog is inviting you directly.”

“Sure,” Ling Han agreed decisively. “You go and find the black donkey first.”

The large black dog left immediately, and returned not many days later. Ling Han had only talked about this possibility to the large black donkey, and told him to pass on the message to Zhou Heng. As for whether Zhou Heng accepted it or otherwise, that would definitely not be known for the moment.

Ling Han beckoned his son over as well. Ling Jianxue was presently in the martial academy. He wanted to be a good teacher, and frequently taught disciples there.

The group set out, meeting up with the Karmic Life Heavenly Venerable, and they set out towards the tomb of that ancient Heavenly Venerate.

As Ling Han traveled, he couldn’t help but feel rueful. This energy storm had really had tremendous effects on the Flaming Frost Realm. A considerable number of inconceivable terrain shapes and forms had appeared here. There were mountains that were hanging upside down and oceans in the skies, completely rebelling against logic.

Among their group, there were Ling Han, the Empress, Ling Jianxue, Hu Niu, the Karmic Life Heavenly Venerable, and the large black dog, which counted for six Heavenly Venerates. The Karmic Life Heavenly Venerable had just advanced to the Second Tier. Hence, they had the battle prowess of one Third Tier Heavenly Venerate and three Second Tier Heavenly Venerates, which was already considered an acceptably strong team.

But considering that there would definitely be Fourth Tier Heavenly Venerates making their move, and even Fifth Tier Heavenly Venerate could appear, they did not dare to be too careless. They all deliberately kept a low profile, advancing towards their destination.

Several months later, they arrived.

Originally, it would not have taken so much time at all. However, because of the impact caused by the energy storm, the space in the Flaming Frost Realm was completely chaotic. If one just rashly advanced in a single direction, he would very likely realize that he was heading in the wrong direction altogether.

After every section of their journey, they would have to stop to check if they were still advancing in the right direction. Hence, this very much affected the efficiency of their journey, causing what had originally been a journey of several days to take as long as several months.

This kind of effect would definitely disappear slowly, but it might take several hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions of years.

Originally, this had been a massive plateau, but now it had become a sea of flames. Flames surged into the skies, but if one flew into the sky, they would be able to see that the other side of the ocean of flames was a boundless territory of ice, with snow flying for thousands of kilometers, filled with icy coldness.

Where the sea of fire and the ice plain met, there was a colossal gulf that looked like a massive mouth. This gulf was still continuously widening, as if a great mouth was opening, striking chills into everyone who saw it.

However, there was a brilliant light that was soaring from within the gulf, exuding an incredibly majestic air. This was definitely of the Heavenly Venerable Tier.
