My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

60 Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword

“Why me?”

Lin Wudao’s expression was as calm as ever in the face of the Mad Daoist’s burning eyes. There was no fluctuation in his words either.

Hearing this, the smile on the Mad Daoist’s face grew wider.

“Oh well, I feel like I hit it off with you. You like to collect other people’s old ancestors, while I like to dig them out of their graves. We are naturally on the same path. I feel that working with you will definitely bring us great prospects in the future. The last point is that digging graves is hard work. It is also a technical job, and it requires strong power as support. Therefore, your strength and my skills are a perfect match,” The Mad Daoist praised generously.

Lin Wudao remained unmoved after hearing his words.

“I don’t anything that doesn’t bring me benefits,” Lin Wudao’s cold voice came from under the cloak.

Upon hearing this, The Mad Daoist immediately gave him a thumbs up.

“Great minds think alike! I’ve never done anything that doesn’t bring me benefits either. However, the Dayan Sect is different. Since its destruction eight thousand years ago, the Dayan Sect has been buried deep underground. Do you know that in the ancestral land of Dayan City, not only are there the tombs of the Dayan Sect’s ancestors, but there are also Extreme Dao spiritual weapons?”

Extreme Dao weapons?

Lin Wudao’s heart stirred.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. The Dayan Sect has been sealed for 8000 years and has never been excavated by the outside world. Their Extreme Dao weapon from 8000 years ago, the Dayan sword, is definitely still in the ancestral land,” The Mad Daoist answered with absolute certainty.

“If that’s the case, I am a little interested,” Lin Wudao chuckled.

Hearing this, a bright smile bloomed on the Mad Daoist’s face.

He knew that Lin Wudao would definitely be tempted.

“The Dayan Sect has been buried underground for 8000 years. The sect is hidden in an ancient secret realm. To open it, we will need the Dayan Sect’s inheritance token, which is an Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword. 8000 years ago, it was bestowed upon the sect by the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who ruled the Green Heaven Region at that time. Later, the Dayan Sect was destroyed because of a great disaster. As a result, its token, the Emperor’s Sword, was also broken and scattered all over Jiuzhou.”

“After that, the various major forces gathered most of the Emperor’s Sword fragments after countless battles. The Xuantian Sect, the Dari Demonic Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect each have one-third of it. However, even though the three great forces have gathered all the fragments of the Emperor’s Sword, they are still unable to open the ancestral land of the Dayan Sect.”

Hmm? It still couldn’t be opened?

Lin Wudao was curious.

“Is there something missing?”

“Indeed!” The Mad Daoist smiled smugly, “Everyone knows that the Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword is the key to opening up the ancestral land of the Dayan Sect, but they don’t know that the Imperial Dao soul essence in the Emperor’s Sword is the most important thing. Without the Imperial Dao soul essence, the Emperor’s Sword has no soul and has thus lost its meaning as a key.”

So that was how it was.

After the Mad Daoist’s explanation, Lin Wudao finally understood the secret behind all this.

Then, with a thought, his deep eyes fell on the Mad Daoist.

“The Imperial Dao soul essence should be in your hands, right?”

“Haha,” The Mad Daoist laughed without saying anything.

Lin Wudao already knew the answer when he saw his expression.

“You’re going to invite the Xuantian Sect, Dari Demonic Sect, and Tianxin Sword Sect to open the Dayan ancestral land together?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes. Opening the Dayan ancestral land can’t be done with just the Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword or the vital Imperial Dao soul essence alone. Only when both are gathered can one enter the ancestral land. As such, we need the help of the three great powers, and similarly, they need the Imperial Dao soul essence. We have a common interest. Besides, if the Xuantian Sect and the other forces enter the Dayan ancestral land, as long as we plan it well, would we need to be worried about not being able to gain a big harvest? Don’t you like to collect other people’s old ancestors? now, your chance is here. Once the three great factions arrive, you can collect as many as you want.”

The Mad Daoist said with a smile filled with killing intent.

Lin Wudao liked what he heard.

“Yes, it seems like the ancestral land of the Dayan Sect is a blessed land. What do you plan to do?”

“Hehe, I’m going to invite them into our trap, of course! Once the Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword’s soul essence appears, the Xuantian Sect, the Dari Demonic Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect will definitely be restless. We’ll just wait here in Dayan City. I believe that they will come to our door very soon.”

The Mad Daoist was full of confidence.

“In that case, I’ll wait for your good news.”

After he said this, Lin Wudao pointed at a teahouse across the street and strode in.

“Oh, it can’t be I found myself a master to serve on?” The Mad Daoist curled his lips.

Then, he took a deep look at Lin Wudao, took out a black cloak, and draped it over his body. After that, he went out to spread the news.

…

Natural Teahouse was the name of the teahouse across the street.

Lin Wudao had been staying here for the past two days, patiently waiting for the good news from the Mad Daoist.

Sure enough, the Mad Daoist was indeed capable. He had used some unknown methods to make the matter of the Dayan ancestral land and the Imperial Dao soul essence become a hot topic among the residents of Dayan City in the past two days.

At this point, everyone knew that the Imperial Dao soul essence was in the Dayan City.

Boom!

For a time, all eyes were focused here.

Many cultivators took action as soon as they heard the news.

Soon, another day had passed.

At this moment, the Mad Daoist returned.

From the smile on his face, Lin Wudao knew that the matter was basically settled.

“Everything is under control. The Xuantian Sect, Dari Demonic Sect, and Tianxin Sword Sect have all sent their powerhouses here. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to enter the Dayan ancestral land very soon.”

The Mad Daoist sipped his tea with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded indifferently.

After a long time, he seemed to have sensed something, and his gaze looked in the direction outside Dayan City.

Whoosh!

...

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

…

Streams of bright light streaked across the sky, accompanied by powerful auras.

Looking up, huge spiritual boats sailed over from the void in the distance, and on each spiritual boat were many powerful figures.

“They’re here.”

The Mad Daoist took a deep breath and stood up.

At the same time, two men and a woman entered the Natural Teahouse together.

“Xuantian Sect’s grand elder, Liu Qingming.”

“Dari Demonic Sect’s deputy sect master, Nan Batian.”

“Tianxin Sword Sect’s leader, Su Tianxin.”

...

…

With a glance, the information of the three was displayed.

They were all Deva realm powerhouses.

“Heavenly realm, Oirgin Return realm, Tribulation Transcendence realm, Mahayana realm, Deva realm, and Myth realm. That’s four major realms apart. It seems that they are all important figures. I wonder what I’ll get if I collect their corpses.”

Lin Wudao was filled with anticipation.

He was prepared to set up a trap and kill all of them.

The Dayan ancestral land would be their death place.

Liu Qingming and the other two were clueless about his schemes.

Under the passionate greeting of the Mad Daoist, the group came to the private room of the Natural Teahouse to discuss important matters.

“Where’s the Imperial Dao soul essence?” Nan Batian of the Dari Demonic Sect had the most violent temper and the most vicious personality. After sitting down, he went straight to the point.

“In my hands, of course,” The Mad Daoist was all smiles, “I’ve called all of you here today because I want to open the 8000-year-old Dayan ancestral land together. You have the Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword in your hands, and I have the Imperial Dao soul essence. It won’t work without either. Once we enter the Dayan ancestral land, life and death will be up to the will of the heavens. What do you all think?”

“No problem.”

“Very well.”

…

They were silent for a while before answering.

“In that case, let’s begin. First of all, according to my investigation, the Dayan ancestral land is hidden under the Xuanjian Sect’s ancestral grave. Back then, the Xuanjian Sect learned a trace of information about the Dayan Sect’s ancestral land and thus established their sect there, all for the sake of finding a way to enter the Dayan ancestral land one day. Therefore, if we want to enter the Dayan ancestral land, we must break into the Xuanjian Sect’s ancestral grave,” The Mad Daoist said, pretending to be troubled.

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian laughed coldly, “Since we’ve confirmed the location, we’ll simply make a move. Anyone who dares to put up resistance can just be killed.”

Boom!

As he said this, he rode on a long rainbow and headed toward Xuanjian Sect with an overbearing aura.
