Chapter 806: The Burial Ground of the Dao



Chapter 806: The Burial Ground of the Dao

He was a descendant of the ancient Xing Family, one of the Nine Royal Clans. He was one of the most prominent young lords of Tianluo City!

The aura of the Dao of Avīci Hell? It seems this is a main-branch descendant of the Xing Family, and that he’s inherited their ancestral legacy, the Avīci Asura Sutra.?Although Su Yi didn’t know the jade-robed young man’s name, one glance at his aura was enough to determine his origins.

The Xing Family was an ancient clan with an Asura lineage. Their ancestral legacy, the Avīci Asura Sutra, was connected to the Dao of Avīci Hell. It focused on drawing out the latent power of their asura bloodline.

“What are you doing, you philandering pretty boy?” exclaimed Cui Jingyan.

Xing Yue instantly looked a bit awkward. “I invited some of my friends to the Drunken Immortal tonight. I wouldn’t have thought I’d bump into you here, Miss Jingyan.”

He then looked around and smiled warmly. “Miss Jingyan, how about you and your companions join us? I’ve already booked the top floor, Moonpluck Pavilion.”

Cui Jingyan, however, looked at Su Yi. “Brother Su, what do you say?”

Xing Yue couldn’t help but be surprised. He’d initially overlooked Su Yi. Only now did he re-evaluate the young man beside Cui Jingyan.

Su Yi subtly inclined his head. “Alright.”

Only then did Cui Jingyan look at Xing Yue. “Lead the way, pretty boy.”

Xing Yue smiled bitterly. “Little princess, there are so many people watching. Can’t you leave me at least a little face?”

“No,” said Cui Jingyan without the slightest politeness.

Xing Yue was instantly at a loss for words.

Cui Jingyan then introduced him to Su Yi. “Brother Su, this is a descendant of the ancient Xing Family. He thinks of himself as ‘romantic’ and ‘unconventional,’ but in truth, he’s an ignorant, incompetent silkpants. That said, he’s not a bad sort. If you think he’s an eyesore, you can just ignore him.”

Xing Yue’s smile stiffened, but he understood Cui Jingyan’s disposition, and he didn’t get angry.

If anything, her words made him increasingly aware that this young man in blue most likely had extraordinary origins!

Every member of the Six Paths Royal Territory’s top factions was well aware of how proud, aloof, and overbearing the daughter of the Cui Family was!

Yet now, even after receiving his invitation, Cui Jingyan had stopped to request Su Yi’s input before accepting. Of course Xing Yue was stunned!

A moment later, he set those thoughts aside, approached, and inclined his head.

“Dare I ask your name, young lord?” He said with a hearty laugh.

Before Su Yi could respond, Cui Jingyan said impatiently, “Lead the way already! What’s with all this talk? Can’t we exchange pleasantries later?”

Xing Yue laughed bitterly, rubbed his nose, and smiled apologetically at Su Yi. Only then did he lead the way up.

Those waiting in line watched, their expressions conflicted, as Cui Jingyan, the old blind man, and Su Yi entered the Drunken Immortal unimpeded.

The Ninth Floor, Moonpluck Pavilion.

Seven or eight men and women sat in a beautifully decorated private room.

Judging from their clothing, it was obvious that they had extraordinary origins.

Birds of a feather?flocked?together. In truth, anyone capable of sitting at the same table as Xing Yue, a young lord of a peak clan, was sure to be extraordinary.

However, when Xing Yue led Cui Jingyan, Su Yi, and the old blind man in, the other attendees rose practically simultaneously in greeting.

“Miss Jingyan, long time no see!”

Miss Jingyan, do you still remember me? Three years ago, my grandfather and I were guests of Meng Po Palace, and we were fortunate enough to meet with you.”

…The young men and women were all enthusiastic and welcoming, and their faces revealed varying degrees of awe.

In response to all these pleasantries, Cui Jingyan merely nodded. “We’re just passing by. After we eat, we’ll leave. You needn’t be so polite.”

Her tone was light and airy, her attitude a bit indifferent and reserved.

But the attendees didn’t find this at all inappropriate.

Never mind Tianluo City; who in the entire Six Paths Royal Territory?didn’t?know that Cui Jingyan was the pearl of the Cui Family?

Everyone proceeded to take their seats.

Cui Jingyan commanded, “Pretty boy, order a new round of food and drinks.”

She was obviously here as a guest, but she wasn’t the least bit polite.

However, Xing Yue didn’t get upset. He smiled and said, “Miss Jingyan, there’s no need to instruct me; I’ve already done it.”

Cui Jingyan nodded in satisfaction.

Before long, their table was laden with delicacies, precious spiritual materials cooked in all different styles.

Especially their trademark roast goose. Rumor had it that it contained over one hundred types of spiritual medicine; it alone went for three hundred tier-seven spirit stones!

Ordinary cultivators were doomed never to enjoy such a luxury.

Su Yi sampled it, and indeed, the flavor was quite distinctive. The meat was juicy, with a crisp exterior and tender interior, and it was mixed with a faint, fruity fragrance. When it entered the stomach, the spiritual energy within the meat transformed into minute energy currents that dispersed throughout the body, making diners feel light and airy.

“How is it?” Cui Jingyan batted her beautiful eyes.

Su Yi inclined his head. “Not bad.”

Cui Jingyan immediately smiled, then personally poured Su Yi a cup of Fire Jujube Brew. “Try this too.”

The other attendees witnessed this entire exchange, and although they didn’t comment on it, they were inwardly beside themselves with shock. The way they looked at Su Yi underwent a subtle change.

Earlier, Cui Jingyan had introduced both Su Yi and the old blind man, but she only mentioned their names. She said nothing about their origins.

But now, even an idiot would have realized that Su Yi’s origins weren’t simple.

They’d never heard of a member of the Six Paths Royal Territory’s younger generation worthy of such respectful treatment from Cui Jingyan!

After that, Xing Yue and his guests took turns toasting Su Yi, and they spoke with the utmost politeness.

They didn’t neglect the old blind man either.

Su Yi’s heart was like a mirror; how could he fail to realize that their show of respect was really for Cui Jingyan, not him?

But he didn’t say anything.

He was only here in Tianluo City to eat a good meal, then continue on his way.

He and the other guests had met by chance, it was unlikely that they’d ever interact again.

“Miss Jingyan, did you hear about what happened in the Sea of Bitterness recently?” Xing Yue suddenly asked.

“What happened? Tell me about it,” said Cui Jingyan, a bit confused.

“Rumor has it that not long ago, a mysterious ancient ruin appeared deep within the Sea of Bitterness. It was within a blood-colored stretch of sea, and it was shaped like an enormous landmass. However, no one knows how big it is, or what’s hidden there,” said Xing Yue, a hint of bewilderment in his expression.

He continued, “That’s because the entire ancient landmass is shrouded in the radiant light of the Dao, like a curtain shrouding it completely. Even if you see it, when you try to approach it, it only appears further and further away, as unreachable as the stars overhead.

“They say that numerous Emperors have gone to investigate, but without exception, they’ve been unable to approach it. It’s like a mirage.

“However, everyone is saying that the ruins really exist, because a mysterious?Daoist?incantation is emanating from inside, as if someone is chanting ancient scriptures.

“What’s strange is that numerous experts, upon hearing that mysterious chanting, entered a state of enlightenment and broke through the fetters of their cultivation in a single attempt, achieving shocking breakthroughs.

“Yet others who heard the same chanting lost themselves to obsession and perished, their Dao ending right then and there!”

A strange look flashed through Su Yi’s eyes. He suddenly recalled something.

Cui Jingyan and the old blind man both looked stunned. There was no doubt that this news surprised them both.

Xing Yue then continued, “According to our ancestor, that ancient ruin is most likely the Battleground of Immortals and Demons that disappeared all those years ago! Similar rumors are now spreading throughout the Netherworld. It’s just that no one dares say with certainty whether or not it’s true.”

“That’s right. I heard my seniors mention this too. They say that the ancient ruin appeared half a year ago, but that news didn’t spread to the Six Territories and Thirteen Realms until a while later,” a young man in silver said softly. “They say numerous top factions sent their forces to the Sea of Bitterness to investigate when they heard about this.”

“Yeah, I heard about that too.”

The others chimed in, one after another.

“The Battleground of Immortals and Demons….” Cui Jingyan, however, was confused.

She’d only recently returned from the Azure Continent, so this was her first time hearing this strange and mysterious rumor.

She subconsciously glanced at Su Yi. “Brother Su, do you know about these ruins?”

Su Yi drank a cup of Fire Jujube Brew, then said casually, “Why ask about that? It has little to do with you.”

“.....” Cui Jingyan dared say with certainty that Su Yi knew about the ruins. He just didn’t want to talk about it.

But the young woman didn’t relent. She asked again, “Then can you tell me whether those ruins are the Battleground of Immortals and Demons?”

The group couldn’t help but feel stunned. Judging by Cui Jingyan’s behavior, she was convinced that Su Yi, that young man in blue, knew about the ancient ruins.

All eyes were instantly on Su Yi.

Only for Su Yi to casually say, “People only started calling it the Battleground of Immortals and Demons much later. Its original name was the Burial Ground of the Dao. Of course, it’s just a name. Calling it the Battleground of Immortals and Demons makes no difference.”

The Burial Ground of the Dao!

The group couldn’t help but be stunned. It seemed Su Yi really did know about the ruins!

Cui Jingyan was long accustomed to this sort of thing, however, Su Yi’s words didn’t assuage her curiosity. If anything, they piqued it even further.

But just as she was about to ask a follow-up question, Su Yi said, “The rest, you’re better off not knowing.”

The Burial Ground of the Dao was one of the most perilous forbidden grounds within the Sea of Bitterness.

Even Emperors couldn’t necessarily reach it. And even if they did reach it, they wouldn’t necessarily return alive!

Given the circumstances, Su Yi naturally wasn’t at all interested in discussing it with Cui Jingyan.

In truth, even Su Yi wouldn’t have expected that the Burial Ground of the Dao, a ruin long buried within the Sea of Bitterness, would re-emerge.

Furthermore, it?had?drawn attention from all over the world.

This was unquestionably out of the ordinary!
