Su Chen looked at the open stone door at the other end of the tomb, and he was more inclined to the latter option of something escaping from that coffin. However, he was not in a hurry to leave this empty room and to find out the answer to his doubts.

He began to pick up the scattered light spots on the body of the Qingxuan puppet.

[You have obtained a Qingxuan Puppet Technique fragment, and you have gained 35 experience points. The current number of fragments is 1/10.]

[You have obtained a Qingxuan Puppet Technique fragment, and you have gained 35 experience points. The current number of fragments is 2/10.]

[...]

After picking up all ten fragments, they were quickly combined into a complete Qingxuan puppet technique.

[Qingxuan Puppetry]

[Effect: After learning, you can refine Qingxuan puppets. The puppet's strength depends on the materials used.]

[Learning requirements: Wood Spiritual Root, Gold Spiritual Root]

In addition to obtaining a puppet technique, the ten Qingxuan puppets also brought him a lot of experience.

[Current experience points: 400]

One Qingxuan puppet is worth 35 experience points, and ten of them are worth 350 points. If he didn't have to kill them all before, he could still gain experience points; then he might just stay here and keep gaining experience points. By then, let alone Water Dragon Roar and Floating Cloud Step, he might even be able to max out the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique in a short period of time.

But what a pity he couldn't do that.

"Forget it; it looks like I have become a little greedy. I already have the help of the cultivation of immortality; there is no need for me to ask for more."

After sighing, Su Chen paid a little more attention to the stone tablet next to him. On the stone tablet, the information of the tomb owner was written.

[Taichu Divine Sect, the 72nd generation official disciple, the tomb of Shang Zhiliang]

Taichu Divine Sect?

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Su Chen looked at the few lines of words on the stone tablet and was very surprised. He didn't expect that this so-called ancient cultivator's tomb was the burial place of Taichu Divine Sect's disciples.

Judging from this, the time in the dungeon should not be the same period as the Taichu Divine Sect in the game. After all, with how powerful the Taichu Divine Sect is in the game now, they would not allow their disciples to transform into magic corpses after their deaths.

This can only mean one thing: there must be something that happened to the Taichu Divine Sect during the time period of the dungeon timeline, which resulted in the inability to manage its own disciple's sect tomb.

Or there is another possibility that the Taichu Divine Sect had simply disappeared in the long river of history. This is what led to the current state of the disciple's burial tomb being abandoned to the point where their corpses have turned into magic corpses.

"No wonder I felt so familiar with these puppets before. I guess they were made up of the Qingxuan wood from the Taichu Divine Sect's outer sect."

"Even the Taichu Divine Sect, which has a powerful master in the spirit transformation stage, has fallen to such a state. What on earth has happened in the world outside the dungeon?"

"Forget it, forget it. These have nothing to do with me for the time being. I'd better concentrate on the current dungeon."

"It would be fine if this tomb only buried the official disciples, but if it also buried the true disciples, elders, and even the masters of each peak of Taichu Divine Sect, then even if the dungeon is refreshed only once every three months in reality, it will be difficult for me to clear this dungeon before it refreshes."

"After all, the weakest true disciples of Taichu Divine Sect are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the elders are at the Golden Elixir Stage, and the Peak Master is at the Divine Soul Stage."

"If they transform into magic corpses, how can I, a mere Qi-gathering state cultivator, like be their opponent?"

"However, since this dungeon is open to people in the Qi gathering stage, there must not be such terrifying existences as the Golden Elixir stage or Divine Soul stage magic corpses. Otherwise, one would have to start from the foundation establishment stage to enter here."

"Besides, it is unlikely that people like elders and peak masters will be buried with others."

"So this should just be a disciple's tomb."

Su Chen stopped thinking, and after making sure that there were not many useful things in the tomb, he walked directly into the open stone door in front of him.

He was resurrected hundreds of times in the first tomb room, and he didn't know how many times he would have to die before he could completely complete this dungeon.

After walking out of the tomb, what comes into view is a complex underground palace.

Before he could see the complex environment of the underground palace clearly, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from above his head. After a burst of severe pain, his vision instantly turned completely dark.

Inside the tomb room.

"I... died again?"

After being resurrected again, Su Chen looked at the remains of the Qingxuan puppets scattered around with an ugly expression. When he died before, at least he knew how he died. But this time he died without even looking at what his enemy looked like.

Was the enemy so strong that he couldn't react, or was there some special trap outside the stone gate? Since he can't figure it out, he has to just try it once again. He can be resurrected infinitely in the dungeon, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just be reckless!
