Everyone panicked and ran with all their might. They only stopped after running for more than 50 kilometers.
The curse fog behind them had already vanished. The fat and skinny old man counted the number of people and realized that more than ten people had disappeared!
It was unknown if they were separated from everyone or devoured by the curse fog.
Their group had only entered the Emperor’s Tomb for less than half a day and there were only slightly more than 30 of them left—they had suffered immense losses!
After half a day of encounters, everyone was fearful and even ruthless people like Li Tian and Jian Yu fell silent.
No matter how strong they were, they were only tyrants of the Black Essence realm.
There were way too many things that could kill them in the Emperor’s Tomb!
“What was that curse fog earlier on?”
Some cultivators could not help but ask with lingering fear.
The skinny old man said with a dark expression, “For various reasons, the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb gathered and materialized.”
“If you’re devoured by the curse fog, the power of the curse will seep into your flesh, organs and marrow. Even if you can leave this place alive, you’ll definitely die!”
Right now, everyone had just entered the Emperor’s Tomb. Although they were cursed, the power had yet to truly seep into their bodies.
That was also the reason why there was a chance to dispel it.
“Let’s go!”
After resting for an hour, the fat old man rose and continued forward with the remaining 30-odd people.
Actually, Su Zimo had a chance to flee during the escape earlier on.
However, there was no need for him to act alone since the method to leave the Emperor’s Tomb was with the fat and skinny old men.
Furthermore, the environment of the Emperor’s Tomb was complicated and dangerous and he did not know much about it. If he followed the crowd and encountered danger, he would have a higher chance of surviving instead.
“What’s that?!”
Before long, a sharp-eyed cultivator pointed to an area in the distance and shouted.
There was a glow in that area that resembled a gigantic mirror.
There were even faint flashes of resplendent and strange lights on the mirror.
Su Zimo’s eyesight was strong and he had long seen that it was a gigantic lake. The lake water rippled and reflected some light, attracting everyone’s attention.
As for the resplendent light on the lake, he could not see it clearly due to the distance.
“Let’s go take a look!”
The skinny old man said in a deep voice and led everyone in that direction.
“It’s a lake!”
Some cultivators recognized it.
“There’s quite a number of people over there!”
Before they arrived at the lake, everyone realized that there were many cultivators standing around the lake. They formed teams and distanced themselves from one another to form different factions.
Su Zimo swept his gaze across.
There were around eight factions around the lake and their cultivation realms were similar—all of them were Grade 8 or 9 Black Immortals.
However, there were no recognizable emblems on the bodies of these cultivators and it was unknown where they came from.
Before entering the Emperor’s Tomb, Prince Yuan Zuo had already mentioned it.
Apart from them, there were definitely other factions that entered the Emperor’s Tomb.
“Hmph, they’re just small sects and factions. There’s nothing to fear!”
The skinny old man made a rough judgment and his expression softened. “Let’s go!”
“Senior, these sects and factions don’t have any emblems. How did you judge them?” A cultivator asked.
The skinny old man said proudly, “Any true major sect or faction that enters the Emperor’s Tomb will definitely not hide their tracks. Instead, they will reveal their unique emblems to intimidate others.”
As he said that, the skinny old man pointed to a black gold badge on his waist.
There was a huge ‘Jin’ word on the badge!
“Look over there! People from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom are here as well!”
“I heard that apart from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, the other two Immortal Kingdoms sent people in as well.”
“Not only that, I heard that the four immortal sects sent people into the Emperor’s Tomb with their own motives as well.”
Some cultivators around the lake recognized Su Zimo’s group and whispered.
Some cultivators seemed unwilling to provoke them and avoided them.
The three Immortal Kingdoms ruled over territories in Divine Firmament Mainland and had kings respectively, possessing absolute dominance.
Apart from the four immortal sects, no other sect or faction could go against them.
The entire world belonged to the kings!
Within the territory of the Immortal Kingdoms, all sects, aristocratic families, cultivators and living beings had to obey the rule of the Immortal Kingdoms and could not disobey!
The cultivators around the lake recognized the identity of the fat and skinny old men and were naturally unwilling to get into a conflict with them.
Li Tian and the others had just experienced many dangers and were in a sorry state. Now that they found some confidence, they puffed up their chests instinctively and regained their vigor.
Su Zimo and the others arrived near the lake and focused their gazes.
In the middle of the lake was a lone island that shone with beautiful, resplendent lights from time to time.
Furthermore, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted over from the direction of the lone island.
“Could it be…”
The fat old man glared at the light on the island and suddenly exclaimed with widened eyes, “It’s the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng!”
The skinny old man nodded repeatedly as well. “It’s definitely the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng! There’s no mistake about it!”
“To think that a Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng would grow in this Emperor’s Tomb. Furthermore, it’s completely ripe and glows with seven different colors!”
The fat and skinny old men were agitated and even lost their composure.
Su Zimo could not help but send a voice transmission to Tang Ziyi, “What’s a Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng?”
“This is one of the most famous immortal herbs of the upper world. Legend has it that once it ripens, it will emit seven different glows and can even revive the dead. No matter how badly injured one is, they will recover completely!”
“If a mature Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was outside, even Perfected Immortals and Immortal Kings would fight for it.”
After a brief pause, Tang Ziyi continued, “In addition, the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng can also increase a cultivator’s lifespan.”
A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.
It was no wonder why the fat and skinny old men were so worked up.
The two of them only chose to enter the Emperor’s Tomb when their lifespans were almost up. If they could obtain the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, they would naturally be free from the threat of lifespan exhaustion!
Su Zimo also noticed something strange.
Even the usually calm Tang Ziyi’s voice trembled when she described the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng.
If what Tang Ziyi said was true, an immortal herb as such was indeed a supreme treasure.
Su Zimo was the Green Lotus True Body to begin with and this immortal herb was of great use to him as well!
However, he could still maintain his composure.
The fact that the surrounding cultivators did not make any moves despite the appearance of such an immortal herb in the Emperor’s Tomb was proof that it was not easy to obtain!
Su Zimo’s gaze landed on the surface of the lake.
The lake water was clear and green. Even with Su Zimo’s eyesight, he could not see what was beneath the lake.
However, if there was danger, it was extremely likely to be in this lake!
As he pondered, the fat and skinny old men had already calmed down and returned to normal.
Surveying his surroundings, the skinny old man suddenly asked, “Who’s going to retrieve this immortal ginseng?”
