Chapter 1750 - 1053: Broken Sword! Hidden!

The two of them saw Gu Sansi and the others.

Previously, Sui Yi had informed Yan Buyu about his arrival and identity; Gong Jiu and others were not unfamiliar, just curious.

But truly seeing the person in front of them...

Oh my, isn’t this person the Posayi beauty!

Gu Sansi has the ability of prophecy because she is the spirit of Cangwu.

But this person is the real prophetic race.

Who exactly is stronger between her and Gu Sansi?

When the two met, it was as if Gu Sansi already saw through everyone’s doubts.

"In terms of individual prophetic talent, the Divine Eye Clan is peerless, but whether I or Clan Leader Yan Shui Qiang is weaker depends entirely on how kind the beloved High Priest is to me."

These words made Yan Buyu’s eye twitch slightly, glancing at Sui Yi, "Cangwu Spirit comes from Shen Zhiyue, serving as the spiritual mirror of the High Priest’s body; both of them are not ones I Yan Buyu can provoke...."

Surrendering?

It’s more like subtle mockery.

Gu Sansi smiled, "That’s not quite right, isn’t Clan Leader Yan now sharing a bowl of rice with me?"

The implication was— we are all kept the same way.

Honestly, this remark was the true lethal move.

Even someone like Yan Buyu, who was quite shrewd, found this sore spot effective on anyone.

Left him only sulking silently.

The time was pressing, with no leisure for chitchat; Sui Yi couldn’t even say a few words to Su Zimu and the others before Gu Sansi had already brought Sui Yi and Yan Buyu into the cleared Blasting Stone Belt.

The others were not strong enough and, unlike Yan Buyu and Gu Sansi, didn’t have special abilities, so it was not advisable to enter.

With Sui Yi present, the Blasting Stone Belt had been cleared, and ahead was a gigantic Stone Gate.

Gu Sansi hadn’t cleared the surrounding traces out of caution, fearing the tomb’s involvement in something, and someone lurking, so haste was inadvisable, waiting only for Sui Yi to arrive...

Sui Yi arrived, gazing at the massive Stone Gate for a long time before saying: "No wonder Tai Yuan couldn’t make a straightforward entry, the 999 Mechanism Formation... The battle back then should have destroyed all these formations, this is a reconstruction."

"Mountain-Knocking Guest Tai Yuan?"

"Yes"

Sui Yi took a pinch of soil in his fingertips, rubbed it, and then discarded it.

The 999 Mechanism Secret Technique, even though Gu Sansi had enough knowledge, she didn’t master the numerous secret techniques like Sui Yi; breaking into this tomb had to be done by Sui Yi himself, but what surprised both her and Yan Buyu was, Sui Yi didn’t destroy the mechanism, instead using a careful, unlocking entrance method— since the mechanism wasn’t destroyed, it could be reused.

The two exchanged a glance, Sui Yi’s intention was....

A whole day later, all the mechanisms along the way were unraveled, not triggering a single trap, quite safe, but both knew the perils experienced.

Sui Yi already informed them this was the tomb of the Primordial Dragon Ape King, naturally telling them what was inside as well.

Knowing oneself and the enemy ensured such smooth progress, but this last step...

Finally, there was a door, a Stone Gate, without secret technique or runes, just a Stone Gate a hundred feet high and a hundred feet wide.

Yan Buyu was a bit doubtful, pinching a few signs with his fingertips, "This is Heaven Devouring Stone?"

Her expression was shocked.

"Heaven Devouring Stone, peculiar in nature, indestructible, because it holds a devouring attribute, a palm-sized piece can swallow a Starfall-level energy, and to disintegrate it, one must channel energy beyond its limits..."

"But, such a massive Heaven Devouring Stone, it seems Tai Yuan leading those strong figures here... in the end, the energy wasn’t sufficient."

Sui Yi looked at the Heaven Devouring Stone, calculating inwardly for a while, then said: "At least ten Heavenly Venerate-level powers are needed; with Tai Yuan’s strength, unless he finds nine other Heavenly Venerate-level powers... reaching this degree, only Shura, Divine Race, or top-tier forces in the Dimensional Realm and Three Realms Origin...."

Such a clandestine matter, evidently Tai Yuan did not intend, nor could he let others know.

Thus, it was shelved until now.

"Ten Heavenly Venerates? He can’t do it, and it seems we can’t either, so does that mean we cannot enter?"

Yan Buyu crossed his arms, leaning against the wall in contemplation.

"Not necessarily"

Sui Yi pondered for a moment, looking at the surprised pair.

"I can go in, but I’ll need your help, and can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour; after slightly exceeding that time, it is likely to never return...."

Their nerves stiffened.

Gu Sansi: "You mean....soul separation?"

"Yes, my soul can separate using Arrow of the Witch Emperor, and after separation, it passes through the Heaven Devouring Gate, using the inner guidance of the Beak of the Golden Crow, consolidating the soul using your combined power with my physical body.... which will allow some operations inside."

The word "operations" from Sui Yi’s mouth made their eyes flicker.

Wearing the Beak of the Golden Crow on the body, the soul carrying the Arrow of the Witch Emperor, the body and soul separating yet connected....

Indeed a wildly imaginative method.

However, only with the energy storage guidance of the Beak of the Golden Crow, and the soul skills of the Arrow of the Witch Emperor, could such an extraordinary feat be accomplished...

Only then did Yan Buyu understand why Divine Sword Nianji was acclaimed as the strongest divine weapon in Canggu, while Arrow of the Witch Emperor is the supreme auxiliary artifact...

"Then let’s begin"

Sui Yi soon set things up, ensuring everything was secured, also establishing several formations on the ground to ensure their combined strength didn’t leak, and multiple layers of defense arrays....

Half an hour later, Sui Yi stood in the center of the formation, Gu Sansi and the others standing on the vertices of a triangle, finally...

Commence!

Sui Yi’s soul slowly left the body, the ring also separating, the two watched the ethereal soul body drift toward Heaven Devouring Gate, though well-experienced, they too felt a bit nervous now.

Until Sui Yi slowly passed through the Heaven Devouring Gate, finally disappearing; momentarily, the Golden Glow of the Beak of the Golden Crow on Sui Yi’s witch body flickered, it began!

The two channeled their energy into the Beak of the Golden Crow, while the Beak extracted energy from Sui Yi’s witch body....

Behind the Heaven Devouring Gate, Sui Yi’s soul floated, guided by two rings, energy surged into the soul body, transformed into a solid form through the Arrow of the Witch Emperor... finally, her toes touched the ground. Sui Yi glanced around—vast, majestic, with a particular fondness for gold and jade, probably because of the Dragon Ape World’s features, abundant in minerals.

In the center was a large coffin, strangely large, naturally because each Dragon Ape Emperor was a world beast, with a massive body. The coffin’s material was also formed by smelting numerous top-grade minerals, appearing unstoppable in its sharpness.

Merely this coffin’s sharp aura could not be withstood by anything less than Starfall Level.

There were no burial accompaniments inside this main tomb, presumably due to having a sufficiently noble presence already?

With a single step, Sui Yi reached the side of the coffin.

She was the High Priest; there naturally was nothing she found worthy of respect, the Dragon Ape Emperor included.

Her Magnetic Sensation penetrated the coffin, and in no time, she figured out the mechanism on the coffin.

Her palm pressed on a relief button.

A depression.

Eight mechanism stakes inside the tomb pierced out. With a lift of Sui Yi’s palm, the coffin opened.

Inside, sure enough, lay the twin-bodied Dragon Ape with a human face.

Sui Yi’s gaze swept over, noticing ample space remaining in the coffin where the Dragon Ape body lay, but on the right side was a sword box, seemingly ordinary, yet it concealed twin hidden dragon patterns inside.

Within was a sword.

Sui Yi’s gaze lingered on the sword box for a while; she knew whose sword it was.

With just a slight pause, she redirected her gaze to the head of the Dragon Ape Emperor.

There was a broken sword.

Previously, Sui Yi had obtained half of the broken sword—that being the lower half, this half was the upper half. Combining the hilt with the half blade, it was already slender. Adding the lower half of the broken sword, this must surely belong to the class of slender, long swords; it appeared equally ordinary.

But Sui Yi knew... the sword’s true appearance was not like this.

"Ah Yue..." Sui Yi’s gaze softened, a hint of watery glow in her eyes, as her fingers gently caressed the surface...

But soon she withdrew her hand.

Taking out two fake Arrows of the Witch Emperor, she performed secret techniques on each, burning them in her palm, finally placing them on the broken sword and sword box.

"Yin"

The two rings concealed themselves, becoming invisible.

Sui Yi closed the coffin lid.

She then spent quite a while arranging things in the main tomb until her palm felt somewhat illusory.

Weakness began setting in.

————————

Outside the Heaven Devouring Gate, sweat glistened on the foreheads of Yan Buyu and the other person due to energy exhaustion, looking anxiously at the Heaven Devouring Gate.

Why hasn’t she come out yet?

Sui Yi should know the severity of being trapped inside.

After a while, both of them couldn’t help but stand up, walking to the Heaven Devouring Gate, placing their palms on it, knowing for sure it couldn’t be pushed open, but in their urgency...

Just as the two placed their hands, Sui Yi’s soul body emerged from the Heaven Devouring Gate at a most opportune yet untimely moment, and the two’s hands almost landed on a certain part of Sui Yi, from left and right...

Though it was a soul body and the palms passed through slightly, at that instant, the three of them stared at each other...

Particularly, Sui Yi’s expression was the most peculiar.

In a moment, Yan Buyu and the other both retracted their hands simultaneously, coughing.

Sui Yi: "....."

Should I say something?

————————

"Is the item there?"

"It is."

Then why wasn’t it brought out?

"Don’t underestimate those people. They wouldn’t come unless the item was there; only then would they venture in—they have their ways to confirm the presence of the Mind Sacrifice inside."

If it weren’t there, who would be foolish enough to take the risk?

Yan Buyu and the other person understood this reasoning but were still puzzled.

—Doesn’t Sui Yi worry that the Mind Sacrifice might be seized? Or has she already planned everything?

"Do you recall the battle years ago, when Tai Yuan gathered so many people, and so many perished? How many do you think I can attract this time?"

Sui Yi spoke in a bland tone, devoid of any killing intent, yet both knew the murderous intention contained within.

It was strangely clear to both Gu Sansi and Yan Buyu that this person was drawing closer to that High Priest.

Consistently gentle and broad-minded, but once her bottom line and principles were crossed, she’d act decisively, like back then when she swiftly destroyed Yan Buyu and those traitorous races with the force of thunder...

Has someone crossed her bottom line again now?

Later, Su Zimu asked Gu Sansi about this matter.

Gu Sansi replied, "Because some people wanted to seize her sword, I suppose."

She bore no anger when trying to seize the ring, but the attempt to seize the sword sparked her killing intent.

Su Zimu quietly agreed with Sui Yi’s attitude; it only highlighted how deeply she regretted and felt remorse after harming Shen Zhiyue back then.

——————

Knowing Sui Yi planned to use the Dragon Mausoleum Imperial Tomb to lure in the Shura and those enemies for a complete annihilation, Gong Jiu and the others took secret delight. Previously, lacking a strong enough foundation, they were constantly oppressed by the Shura, though they repeatedly managed comeback victories, it always left a vexing aftertaste.

Now, taking the initiative to invite them into the trap, there was a whole new mindset.
