Chapter 18: The Dragon's Nest Ancestral City

The huge Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range is located in the center of the Dragon's Lair World, and it is also the junction of the White Dragon Clan and the Black Dragon Clan.

Its majestic mountains are large and winding, covering primeval forests that have grown for thousands of years, and the forest sea rises and falls like waves when the wind blows.

Even before the ancestral mountain appeared, Li Mo had already felt the powerful power emanating from this Heavenly Spirit Mountain.

I don't know if it's because the two ancestors are buried here, or because of the existence of the Stone Dragon King, this kind of power has a sense of shock from the heart even for Li Mo.

At the entrance to the mountain range, there is an avenue leading to the main mountain in the depths, and the mountains on both sides stand like giants.

There were a lot of pedestrians along the way, all of whom were in a hurry, and the news of the sudden death of the water saint had already been rumored.

It didn't take long for the ancestral city to be seen in the distance.

Perched atop the main hill, the grey castle radiated like a crown, but now the walls were draped with a long white cloth, exuding a desolate aura.

The land of the ancestral city has the stations of the two major tribes and various tribes, each tribe sends people to be stationed here all the year round, as few as dozens of people, as many as hundreds of people, just the number of these people together is very considerable, on the scale of the city, it can be said that it is the largest city in the dragon's nest world.

The road was full of sadness and sadness, and the streets and alleys were covered with white cloths.

After entering the city, Li Mo and Ma Renyi first went to the station of the Leadshan tribe, and after putting the supplies away, the group rushed to the Temple of Sacrifice in the city.

The whole city is divided into two cities, the outer city is the residence of the tribes and the living place of the people of the two tribes, and the inner city is the residence and workplace of the dragon attendants, which is naturally the important place of the ancestral city.

Normally it's closed to the public, but now it's an exception.

Along the way, Li Mo learned from Ma Renyi about the burial of the Eight Sages after their deaths, which was divided into three steps.

In the first step, after the death of the Eight Sages, their bodies were placed in the Ancestral City Sacrifice Temple for the clansmen to worship for ten days.

During this stage, any clan member can enter the Temple of Heaven in the inner city as many times as they want.

After all, as the supreme leader of the tribe, the status of the Eight Sages is irreplaceable, so many people come to pay their respects every day, so that every worship will form a long line, day and night.

At the same time, the dragon attendants will personally relay the news to the various tribal alliances, and the upper echelons of the alliance will rush to the ancestral city on the fastest mounts.

Generally speaking, the nearest tribe can reach it in one day, and the far one can only be seven or eight days.

After all, they are different from Li Mo, they are not transferring day and night, but going straight all the way at high speed, so they can catch up with the deadline.

The second step is the burial ceremony.

The burial ceremony will be held by the seven leaders of the Eight Saints, and the Seven Saints will personally attend the ceremony, arrive at the Heavenly Sacrifice Hall, and send the remains of the Water Saints all the way to the Eight Saints Mountain for burial, and the high-ranking officials of the tribes will also accompany them.

The third step is the succession ceremony of the new eight saints, this ceremony is also carried out in the ancestral city, and the seven saints will also participate, and the new eight saints will accept the pilgrimage, and after the official enthronement, the tribal personnel will also leave.

After figuring out these things, Li Mo already had a plan for infiltrating the ancestral tomb.

To infiltrate the ancestral tomb, the inner city is the only way to pass, and only through the gate of the inner city can you enter the deeper part of Tianling Mountain.

Therefore, Li Mo came to worship with Ma Renyi, just to step on the point first.

In a short time, the group had arrived in the inner city.

There was already a long queue at the gate of the inner city, but fortunately, because of the restrictions on the time for everyone to worship, the speed of the procession was not slow.

Li Mo took a closer look, and the inner city wall was indeed carved with a magic circle, and it was also a ninth-level magic circle.

This alone is not known how many grades higher than the Sunset City of the Jade Spring Alliance.

However, this kind of magic circle may be extremely difficult for the dragon orcs, but it can't be difficult for him, and after just a few glances, he already knows it in his heart.

It can be inferred from the magic circle of the city wall that the magic circle of the entire inner city is not as deep as this.

Then he set his eyes on the dragon attendant.

The dragon attendants were all dressed in armor and equipped with war swords at their waists, and they all looked imposing.

The armor and sword are all made of fine craftsmanship and belong to the earth weapon level.

Li Mo pondered, no matter how the ancestor said it back then, he should also be a person at the level of the Divine Power Realm, so the information on the martial arts, casting techniques, and Dan Dao that he left behind was also the most high-grade.

However, even an alliance leader like Yue Zhanhong was holding nothing more than an earth weapon in his hand.

It is likely that it is precisely because the bloodline of beasts is the majority, that they have lost the casting and Dan Dao techniques that humans can master, and are only able to forge earth-level pills and earth weapons.

However, they make up for their combat power with their own qualifications, so even if they hold the earth weapon, they are by no means inferior to the human powerhouses of the same level in terms of combat power.

As the team continued to move, Li Mo's perception was also exploring in the inner city.

This exploration is also cautious, because there are old people in the clan here.

According to Ma Renyi's words, there are already many clan elders in the inner city, and with the death of the water saint, the clan elders have to send some people over.

At present, there are twenty clan elders in this inner city.

Therefore, Li Mo had to be careful, these clan elders were much higher than Yue Zhanhong in terms of cultivation, and of course he was also confident that his concealment kung fu would not be easily recognized.

After walking all the way like this, after half an hour, I finally arrived outside the Temple of Worship.

Outside the hall, there was a cry of pain, many people wiped their tears, hammered their chests, and wailed constantly.

The four clan elders stood at the entrance of the hall, and their faces couldn't hide their sadness.

Li Mo retracted his breath a little deeper, and followed Ma Renyi towards the hall.

In the center of the main hall is a stone platform half a foot high, on which there is a crystal coffin, and in the coffin lies a septuagenarian.

His appearance is kind, his hands are folded on his abdomen, even if he is dead, his body still exudes a strong aura of water, which shows that his cultivation before his death is definitely a strong person above the middle stage of the Divine Power Realm.

The texture of this crystal coffin is quite special, and it can isolate the five senses, but it can't hide from Li Mo's psychic eyes.

He had some doubts about the death of the Water Saint, but now that he came over, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

As soon as Lingtong's eyes opened, his consciousness instantly penetrated the body of the Water Saint.

Then, Li Mo's heart suddenly jumped.

There was suddenly a wound behind the Water Saint, half a foot deep, directly connected to the heart.

Obviously, the Water Saint was killed by someone!

Moreover, it is a hand from behind, which can make the water saint assassinate in the back without warning, and even directly hurt the heart with one move, which shows the power of this assassin.

At the same time, it also casts a shadow over this matter.

Obviously, the Seven Saints and even some clan elders probably knew the real reason for the death of the Water Saint, but it was just to appease people's hearts, so they didn't reveal it.

This means that they don't know who the assassin is.

It is not necessarily a good thing to sneak into the ancestral tomb at this juncture, and it would be fine if you sneak in, but if your whereabouts are exposed, you will probably be considered the murderer of the Water Saint.

Li Mo frowned and didn't think about it further, but he had to be cautious when he sneaked in.

Out of the inner city, Li Mo said goodbye to Ma Renyi, rented an idle mansion in the city, and waited for night to fall.

Close your eyes and concentrate on cultivating supernatural powers.

That Heavenly Enlightenment Dao Gong is indeed an extraordinary divine skill, and Li Mo has felt that the second divine power is constantly approaching the third-class realm since these days of penance.

Once you break through the third rank, then your combat power will be raised to another level, and at the same time, you will have the foundation to break through the middle stage of the Divine Power Realm.

Even though his life span was only a little more than two months now, Li Mo was still cultivating quietly and was not affected by it.

It was late at night, and Li Mo quietly went out and sneaked into the inner city.

On the city wall, dragon attendants stood like poles, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

But no one noticed that someone had arrived under the walls, and the circle caused an invisible wall to emerge from the walls, so that the entire inner city was encased in a circular air shield.

Therefore, it is difficult to enter the inner city even if you fly, and you must break the formation to enter the city.

And breaking the formation was just a breeze for Li Mo, he pressed one hand on the city wall, and with the release of true qi, the magic circle was changing at a high speed, gradually producing a crack half a foot above the city wall, until it became an invisible hole.

Li Mo's body moved, like a gust of wind swept by, and before the dragon attendants could notice, he had already rushed into the entrance of the cave and arrived at the inner city.

After entering the inner city, Li Mo's actions became more cautious.

He kept moving from hall to hall, fast and faster than he perceived.

The clan elders are distributed all over the inner city, and the perception of these people is extremely keen, and the slightest wind and grass can arouse their ideas, although Li Mo's current cultivation can be said to be the top of the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, but these clan elders are all dragon orcs, and their perception is more acute than that of ordinary human beings.

Their perception spreads out like a large net, sometimes intertwined, waiting for the arrival of their prey.

By the time Li Mo arrived at the northern city wall, it had already taken half an hour, and when he arrived here, things were relaxed.

Cracking the formation and walking through the city, Li Mo had already arrived at the rear of the ancestral city.

At this time, there is a deep mountain area, large and small peaks are scattered, and a thick mist floats in between.

There was a wide avenue outside the gate of the ancestral city leading to the depths of the mountain, and Li Mo walked along the road, raising his five senses to the limit at the same time, but there were no people along the way, but he walked easily.

After passing through the many mountain peaks, when the avenue turns a corner, a large area of majestic mountain peaks is presented in front of you.

Different from the peaks that have been walked through, these peaks clearly exude a powerful aura, which is the power of the strong men buried there who have not disappeared even if they die, and this is the entrance to the old mountain.
