Chapter 1315 Crimson Lotus Flying Chariot
"Why prepare a proper tomb?" Xu Changshou asked curiously.
For ordinary people, choosing any place is fine; there's no need to be so particular.
Venerable Red Lotus laughed and said, "A Tribulation Transcending Great Power is the supreme being in the mortal world. Any Tribulation Transcending Great Power is the highest authority in the cultivation world during their lifetime."
"The wealth possessed by a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm is considerable."
"Everyone has selfish desires. Once they have wealth, they are unwilling to let go, even if it means death!"
"Many people would rather have their own belongings buried with them than have them fall into the hands of others."
"Furthermore, those who have transcended tribulation are the supreme beings of the human realm, and have already cultivated immortal bones. Their bones are the best materials for forging top-grade magic treasures."
"Therefore, when powerful beings who have transcended tribulation pass away, they do so secretly by themselves. Before passing away, they naturally have to carefully arrange their tombs."
“Cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm do not have a sitting ceremony for passing away.”
"That's it!"
After listening to Venerable Red Lotus's words, Xu Changshou nodded secretly. Although it was a bit far-fetched, upon careful consideration, it was indeed true.
"However!"
Venerable Red Lotus changed the subject, saying, "As the saying goes, nine out of ten tombs are empty. I discovered this tomb of a Transcending Tribulation expert by accident. As for whether it is his real tomb, I am not sure. If the tomb is empty, I hope Junior Brother Xu can understand."
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "There are fake tombs too."
"It's not fake."
Venerable Red Lotus said, "Under normal circumstances, before a cultivator who has undergone tribulation passes away, they will set up many cenotaphs, in which some of their personal belongings will be placed."
"Why set up a cenotaph?" Xu Changshou asked, puzzled.
In the mortal world, a cenotaph is erected when a person dies in another place and cannot return, or when their remains are lost.
A powerful being who has transcended tribulation will pass away peacefully on their own; there is no need to set up a cenotaph.
Venerable Red Lotus explained, "The cenotaphs set up by powerful cultivators who have transcended tribulations are a smokescreen to prevent people from deducing the location of their true tombs. However, even cenotaphs contain valuable items. When the owner sets up the cenotaph, they will place some of their personal belongings inside. The personal belongings of cultivators who have transcended tribulations are all treasures."
Xu Changshou asked, "Senior Sister Honglian, where is this tomb located?"
Honglian said, "The Chaotic Lands, the Shattered Star Sea, near Chang Le Island."
Changle Island...
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. He had heard of Changle Island. In the Shattered Star Sea, there were thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two islands.
Changle Island is also one of the seventy-two islands.
"When do we set off?" Xu Changshou was getting impatient, as it was his first time exploring a tomb like this.
"Wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for Venerable Hongwu."
"Is Venerable Hongwu also going?"
"Yes!"
Venerable Honglian smiled and said, "I have invited two people in total, one is Venerable Hong Hongwu, and the other is you."
"Are there only three of us going?"
"Yes!"
Xu Changshou was puzzled.
After a little thought, I understood what was going on.
On the Grand Ascension Golden List of the Donghua Immortal Sect, Venerable Honglian is ranked seventy-eighth. Among those stronger than him on Jumen Peak are Venerable Lengfeng, Venerable Gutai, Venerable Yuexian, Venerable Jinchen, and Venerable Chenglong.
These five people were all stronger than Venerable Honglian, so Honglian didn't invite any of them.
Venerable Hongwu was ranked ninety-fourth on the Mahayana Golden List, which was not as strong as Venerable Honglian, so Venerable Hongwu was chosen.
As for himself, he was ranked 296th on the Mahayana Golden List. This ranking was before he broke through to the late Mahayana stage. Now that he has broken through to the late Mahayana stage and his cultivation has increased significantly, even if he doesn't rank in the top 100, he won't be far off.
Therefore, Venerable Red Lotus chose himself.
Both he and Venerable Hongwu had two characteristics: one was that they had a good relationship and were trustworthy; the other was that their strength was lower than Venerable Honglian's. Of course, this was Venerable Honglian's opinion.
After all, they were going to explore the cemetery, and trust was more important than strength. Otherwise, Venerable Red Lotus could have easily sought out Venerable Cold Wind and the others.
The stronger one is, the more dominant one becomes. If someone stronger than Venerable Red Lotus is chosen, she might not even have the final say in the distribution of the treasures.
The two waited for a while, and soon a big man with a black beard arrived at the Red Lotus Venerable's dojo. The man was none other than the Hongwu Venerable.
"Senior Brother Hong!"
"Junior Brother Hong!"
"Junior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Honglian!"
The three met and greeted each other.
After glancing at Venerable Hongwu, Venerable Honglian asked with a smile, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"set off!"
Venerable Red Lotus patted his storage bag, and a pink lotus platform floated out from it.
The lotus platform was only the size of a palm, but Venerable Red Lotus casually cast a spell, and the lotus platform grew larger in the wind, becoming a huge lotus platform with a diameter of ten zhang.
The three of them leaped onto the lotus platform. With a thought, Honglian activated the platform, and the pink lotus platform quickly flew out of the Donghua Immortal Gate.
Before long, they burst out of the Chaos Sea.
After breaking out of the chaotic sea, the pink lotus platform began to accelerate, increasing from 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan.
Then, the pink lotus platform flew rapidly westward at a speed of 100,000 yuan.
The speed of the 100,000 yuan seemed incredibly fast to Xu Changshou. The scenery beneath his feet flashed by so quickly that even with his divine sense, he couldn't take it all in.
Currently, Xu Changshou's maximum flight speed is 48,000 yuan, and even if he uses the Wind Heart Talisman, it will only be 96,000 yuan.
This is its maximum speed; the current speed of the pink lotus platform is definitely not its maximum speed.
Xu Changshou glanced at Venerable Honglian and asked, "Senior Sister Honglian, what is the name of your lotus platform?"
Venerable Red Lotus smiled slightly and said, "This is the advanced flying magic treasure, Red Lotus Flying Car. Its normal cruising speed is worth 100,000 yuan, and its maximum speed is worth 130,000 yuan. Its value is 1.8 million yuan."
"One million eight hundred thousand?" Xu Changshou scratched his head.
Venerable Red Lotus added, "It is 1.8 million top-grade spirit stones."
Xu Changshou secretly calculated that 1.8 million top-grade spirit stones would amount to 18 billion high-grade spirit stones.
When one's cultivation reaches the Mahayana realm, the common currency is top-grade spirit stones. After Xu Changshou broke through to the Mahayana realm, he mainly focused on accumulating merit points and did not use spirit stones. Therefore, the spirit stones he possessed were still high-grade spirit stones.
Xu Changshou currently possesses 10 billion high-grade spirit stones, which, when converted to top-grade spirit stones, amount to one million.
The Red Lotus Venerable's Red Lotus Flying Chariot is only 1.8 million, which is a reasonable price. Xu Changshou felt that he could consider buying a high-level magic weapon worth around 100,000 yuan.
His current speed and the 100,000 yuan-level magic weapon are just right for him to get around.
"Junior Brother Xu, don't you have a flying magic weapon?"
"no!"
"Haha, a flying artifact is a must-have; I need to buy one."
"Yes, I just broke through to the late Mahayana stage, so I haven't had time to buy it yet. I'll buy it when I get back this time."
