Chapter 1072: King Xue’s Tomb

“Nascent Transformation Tree?”

Steward Liu furrowed his brow in surprise.

The Nascent Transformation Tree was a wondrous plant that bore the rare and spiritual Nascent Transformation Fruit.

Nascent Transformation Trees were very rare too. There were only five of them in the entire East End Nation. All of them belonged to the major factions.

As a result, those factions controlled the output of the Nascent Transformation Fruit, which made the fruit incredibly expensive.

However, for cultivators, Nascent Transformation Pills were an indispensable thing when converting nascent qi to nascent souls. Despite the astronomical price, the fruit was still in short supply every year.

“That’s… not going to be easy!”

Steward Liu said with a wry smile.

There were only five trees in the entire nation. Where could he find additional Nascent Transformation Trees? The five factions that owned the trees would definitely not sell them.

Tang Hao smiled and said, “I don’t need a whole tree. Just one section is enough!”

Upon hearing that, Steward Liu was surprised.

However, he soon understood that Divine Medicine Farmer Tang’s skills were superb. He could grow a complete tree with just one section.

He was quite tempted. Nascent Transformation Fruit was a lucrative business. A Nascent Transformation Tree might as well be bearing money.

It would be difficult for him to find an entire tree, but it was possible to find a branch.

He smacked the table, stood up immediately, and said excitedly, “Alright! I’ll do it right away. Don’t worry, Valley Master Tang. I can find a branch for you.”

“Thank you in advance, Steward Liu!” Tang Hao stood up and cupped his fists.

“It’s no big deal!” Steward Liu laughed heartily and said, “Since you want to plant the Nascent Transformation Tree, are you interested in the other ingredients for making the Nascent Transformation Pill?”

“Of course! I don’t mind planting the complete package. When the time comes, we’ll hire a pill maker and sell Nascent Transformation Pills!” Tang Hao said.

“Alright! Alright!”

Steward Liu became more and more excited.

The Nascent Transformation Pill was a lucrative business!

After chatting for a while, Tang Hao took his leave.

Two days later, Steward Liu sent over all kinds of seeds, all of which were ingredients for the Nascent Transformation Pill. Three days later, Tang Hao received a short piece of wood.

With that item, he had gathered all the ingredients for making the Nascent Transformation Pill.

He immediately planted the wood branch, dissolved a piece of origin crystal, and watered it.

At the same time, he channeled the vitality of the other plants to the Nascent Transformation Tree. In only ten days, the short piece of wood grew to four or five meters tall and began to bear fruit.

During that period, news came from the center of the First Continent, causing a commotion.

“Have you heard? The great sects and conferred families are all offering a reward for finding the tomb of, what’s he called, King Xue!”

“King Xue? Who’s that?”

“Heh! You don’t know about that, right? King Xue was one of the kings of the Void Realm millennia ago. He’s absolutely powerful and monstrous.”

“Wow! King of the Void Realm?”

“That’s right. He’s the eighth king in the League of Eternal Heroes. All the great sects and conferred families are looking for his tomb. They must be looking for his Shard of the King. It’s said that the shard contains a supreme Path technique with boundless power.”

“Heh! Where can we find it? He’s someone from thousands of years ago!”

“Who knows?”

The news also spread to Bramble City, causing a heated discussion.

“King Xue?”

Tang Hao was surprised when he heard that name.

Xue Qianchi was a name that he had seen in the League of Eternal Heroes. He was ranked eighth, and his title was the Eternal King Xue.

About ten days later, another piece of news came and shook the entire East End Nation.

In the northern Heavenly Star Nation, a place suspected to be King Xue’s tomb was discovered. The major factions had already sent people to investigate.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Many people In East End Nation set off northward.

Tang Hao was also piqued. To him, a Shard of the King was very tempting.

It so happened that he had made his pills, so he set off to the north.

Along the way, more news came. After much research, they already confirmed that it was indeed King Xue’s Tomb. However, some obstacles made them unable to enter it.

After hearing the news, Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

If the tomb opened now, he would not have had a chance to get the shard.

He sped up and reached Heavenly Star Nation two days later.

At that moment, Heavenly Star Nation was extremely lively. People came from all directions, and beams of light could be seen in the sky at all times.

Tang Hao landed in a city and asked around for more information.

“Hah! The tomb was opened long ago, but guess what? There’s nothing inside the tomb except for traps and barriers.”

“That can’t be! Didn’t they say they confirmed that it’s indeed King Xue’s tomb?”

In the tavern, someone was talking loudly.

“It’s King Xue’s tomb alright, but indeed there’s nothing inside because… there’s a tomb within a tomb! Now, those people are studying how to open the passage and find the real tomb.”

“Tomb within a tomb? I didn’t expect that!”

The tavern was in an uproar.

The “tomb within a tomb” meant that there was a demi-world in the tomb, and the real tomb was somewhere inside.

“When will they find it?”

“I don’t know. They’ve invited many tomb raiders to study it!”

After hearing that, Tang Hao rushed to the city closest to the tomb.

The city was crowded and noisy.

Everyone was waiting for the news from the tomb.

“Do you all think that the Qin guy will come?”

Some people were talking about Tang Hao.

“Hah! I don’t think he’d dare to come. Last time, he managed to escape by pulling off a disguise. He won’t be so lucky this time. If he shows up, he’ll definitely die.”

Many people sneered, though they seemed angry.

Two months ago, many people participated in the great hunt. They searched everywhere for that kid, but they eventually found out that they had been deceived. They had been really angry.

When Tang Hao heard that, he became even more vigilant.

The next day, there was finally news that the passage to the inner tomb had been opened!

In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar. Everyone rushed to the other side of the mountain.

Tang Hao rushed over amid the crowd.

After flying for a moment, they saw a valley in front of them. Crowds of people were rushing into the valley.

At a corner of the valley, the mountain wall had been broken open, revealing a dark and large hole. It was the entrance to the outer tomb.

“Charge!”

Everyone rushed in.

The outer tomb was very large. They walked along the winding passage and eventually arrived at an empty cave. Many mirrors were embedded on the cave walls. In front of one of those mirrors, the space was rippling.

The people rushed in one after another.

Tang Hao was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he looked around doubtfully.

The decorations along the way were golden and elaborate. It was hard to imagine the tomb belonged to the Eternal King Xue.

He could feel the qi aura of King Xue while browsing the League of Eternal Heroes. He was reckless and domineering, quite unlike the style of the tomb.

He did not mind it that much. After all, the outer tomb might be deliberately decorated that way to conceal the true contents within.

He made up his mind and went into the inner tomb with the crowd.
