Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 613
Chapter 611 Two Demons
“Brother, everyone’s preparing to go to the Human Emperor Palace for the Myriad Worlds Exploration Festival. Why aren’t we heading over now? There’s only one day left.”
Deep in the mountains on the edge of the Great Wei Dynasty, old trees with tangled roots and lush greenery blocked out the sunlight, spreading a gloomy aura and causing the temperature to drop significantly below that outside the mountains.
Two Corpse-Driving Sect disciples walked among them, feeling no discomfort.
The sect’s atmosphere was even more gloomy than here.
“What are you afraid of? It’s only half a day’s journey from here to the Human Emperor Palace. We’ll still have time to go there after we finish exploring the ancient tomb.”
“But why haven’t I heard of an ancient tomb here? According to the Feng Shui techniques taught by the sect, this isn’t a suitable place for burial.”
The senior brother had a mysterious smile on his face: “Not suitable for burial? That only means the level of the person being buried is not high enough. A mountain is famous for its immortals, not for its height. If a great man is buried here, then this place must be suitable for burial even if it’s not.”
The junior brother widened his eyes, his lips trembling: “You mean a great man is buried here?”
“Just the day before yesterday, I happened to pass by this place, and I heard and sensed a hint of divine secrets. Maybe it was the obsession of the tomb owner before his death. He didn’t want his inheritance to be buried in a place that never sees the sun, and wanted to find someone with a destiny to bring his inheritance out. I guess the person buried here is a great man in the Tribulation Period!”
“After I confirmed the location, I realized one person’s strength was limited, so I brought you along.”
The junior brother winced. “But, senior brother, a tomb of a Tribulation-crossing period requires at least an elder to explore. With our weaker limbs, we’d risk our lives before even finding the coffin.”
“Let’s explore the path first. Discovering a single cemetery is different from discovering and exploring part of it when exchanging contribution points for sect points.”
The two cautiously entered the cave, using night vision to focus their spiritual energy, allowing them to clearly see the cemetery’s structure in the darkness.
Immortal beasts were painted on the walls, so lifelike that they seemed ready to leap from the walls and roar to the heavens.
Terracotta warriors were displayed, weapons in hand, ready for battle, as if they were being reviewed by some ancient monarch.
Looking up, an enormous evil spirit was branded on the cave ceiling, its fangs and claws bared, as if the immortal beasts on the wall were merely its prey.
The younger brother’s scalp tingled under the gaze of the evil spirit image, feeling as if something terrible and ominous was about to befall him.
However, the older brother wasn’t particularly concerned. Seeing the weapons in the terracotta warriors’ hands, his eyes lit up, realizing this was an opportunity.
He knelt before one of the warriors, muttering to himself,
“Separated by the Yin and Yang, this younger generation has come here to seek some opportunity. Please grant permission from the elders of the cemetery.” “Hmm? This weapon is so firmly held, I can’t pull it away.”
The older brother tried several times without success, believing the elders of the cemetery didn’t want them to take the item, so he gave up.
Suddenly, one of the warriors shivered, startling the older brother into a defensive stance.
The younger brother also prepared to flee at any moment.
“I didn’t expect to meet a living person here,”
the warrior’s voice sounded unusually youthful, sounding only in his twenties. The warrior stepped out of formation, revealing his true appearance, which matched his voice, appearing to be in his twenties.
“Don’t be nervous. My name is Mo Li. Like you, I’m here to explore the cemetery.” Mo Li chuckled. His skill and courage were remarkable, for he dared to explore this cemetery alone.
“Judging from your attire, you must be disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect. What a coincidence! I have some connections with the Corpse Driving Sect,”
his junior brother asked tentatively. “Are you also a client of our Corpse Driving Sect?”
The Corpse Driving Sect’s external business involves finding living people to pre-order corpses. Living people can borrow spirit stones from the Corpse Driving Sect. If they can repay, they are even. If they can’t, they leave their bodies to the Corpse Driving Sect after death.
“The relationship is deeper than you think.”
Seeing that Mo Li didn’t want to talk more about this matter, the senior brother changed the subject: “Brother Mo Li, do you know anything about this tomb?”
“I know quite a bit.”
“I also came across the record in the fragments of ancient books. Legend has it that a great demon is buried here, with unparalleled magic skills and tremendous magic power. He has cultivated the “Demon Transformation Eternal Art” to the extreme. Just by walking casually on the earth, he can turn a piece of Buddhist pure land into a demonic land!”
“Is it so terrifying?!” The two brothers trembled their teeth. From what they heard, this demon was at least an immortal.
Mo Li nodded vigorously. “More than that, that demon is so terrifying that it’s hard to describe in words.”
“To truly explain the origins of this cemetery, we have to go back to the civil war between demons 20,000 years ago.”
“20,000 years ago, the immortal world had two geniuses of the demonic path, one male and one female. The male demon was a natural-born demon, with a mindset different from that of ordinary people. He was unruly, proud, and often performed astonishing acts.”
“The female demon was ruthless and ungrateful. She wielded the Heaven-Swallowing Immortal Gourd and controlled the punishment of catastrophe, making her invincible in her level.”
“The two fought from the immortal world to the Nine Provinces, shattering the void with such force that everyone who saw them dodged. In the end, the female demon was more skilled and subdued the male demon, suppressing him here.” “
But even after being suppressed, the male demon still resisted. Look at this evil ghost mark on his head; it’s the male demon’s method.”
“If the cave was surrounded by evil ghost marks, the male demon would have broken free, but unfortunately, he never succeeded in breaking free.”
“Do you see the murals on this wall? These are the methods of the female demon. She’s a master of painting, capable of adding the finishing touch. If we rashly enter this place and trigger the mechanism, these immortal beasts will leap from the wall and tear the intruder to pieces!”
The brothers shuddered, thankful they hadn’t triggered the mechanism.
“Banned by blood and flesh, such a terrifying method.”
“Wait, if we rashly explore, wouldn’t we potentially help the demon break the seal and wreak havoc on the Nine Provinces?” The senior brother wanted to take the junior brother away.
Mo Li, however, was not at all worried about this situation: “Don’t be afraid. The seal is strong. How can we, three Jindan-stage cultivators, break it? Besides, the male demon once tried to trick the cultivators into helping him break the seal, so he buried many rare treasures in the cemetery. As long as we remain steadfast in our Dao and don’t fall for her temptations, just grab the items and leave, nothing will happen.”
Seeing the sincerity of Mo Li’s words, the brothers became more convinced and decided to join him in exploring the demon’s ancient tomb.
“Excuse me, Brother Mo Li, what are the names of this male and female demon?”
Mo Li shook his head: “The names of these two demons are taboo and cannot be revealed, but I can tell you their titles.”
“Brother Mo Li, please teach me.”
“These two demons are famous enemies. From gender to title, they are reversed.”
“The female demon is called Mahakala.”
“Then the male demon…”
“He is called Mahabrahma.”
The brothers looked strange. The female demon’s title was domineering, but why did the male demon have a feeling of dawn?
The cave shook, as if the male demon had awakened and was dissatisfied with the title.
