Chapter 715 – Martial God Tombstone

With Blood Warp, he was not worried about being in mortal danger. He also had the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so he could carefully avoid other people. The ground around the city was not flat, with many metal pieces protruding from the ground. Long Chen hid behind these metal protrusions and managed to sneak into the Iron City without anyone noticing him.

The city was huge. If this were in the outside world, it would have fit more than a hundred thousand people. Right now, only a few hundred were inside, so it felt empty. With Long Chen’s ability to sense anyone within five hundred meters, it would be difficult for other people to find him.

This whole city is forged from iron. Long Chen looked around in wonder. There were many buildings, houses, streets, and bars around. Everything was there, but walls that should have been built with bricks were built with iron instead. It radiated a cold, solemn, and intimidating aura with a faint iron smell in the air. Even the floors were made of iron with beautiful patterns etched on it.

This city was clearly forged by someone. Was the Ancient Graveyard once like the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, a place where people lived? Did something happen that led to this place becoming deserted and empty like a graveyard? Long Chen wondered.

All Long Chen wanted to do was find the person who killed Shao Yu. As long as he was killed, Long Chen would leave with peace of mind and deal with his own matters. He did not feel like he was being nosey—he considered taking revenge as one of his personal matters.

The people of the Wind clan would surely be in the center of the city, so Long Chen headed in that direction. Only a few steps in, Long Chen looked up and saw a strange object surrounded by countless orbiting iron pieces at the center of the city. It released strong energy ripples, and when the ripples swept across his body, he felt like his blood was boiling and was instantly filled with battle intent!

Since he was quite far away from it, he could not see it clearly. Little Cat laughed incredulously. “You’re a lucky brat. Can’t believe you found it after sneaking into this city.”

“What is it?” Based on Little Cat’s remark, Long Chen knew that it was a treasure.

“A cultivator carved his life’s knowledge on that tombstone, so remnants of his Martial Soul remain on it. If you can get this tombstone and learn the knowledge it contains, you will progress ten times faster in your cultivation,” said Little Cat lazily.

“Tombstone?” Long Chen was instantly excited.

Ten times faster cultivation. This was extremely tempting to Long Chen. This was the ultimate treasure to him. In fact, it was more suitable for him than the Five Emperor Seals because Long Chen’s cultivation level was insufficient. If he could increase his cultivation level, his overall strength would skyrocket.

In the beginning, he could not see it clearly since many iron buildings were blocking it. He could only see one of its corners, but when he peered closely, he realized it was the corner of the tombstone. The tombstone was completely black and released strange ripples that could affect Long Chen’s desire to fight. He was still too far away, so Long Chen continued heading towards the center of the city, passing many people on the way.

Using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he could discover them before they spotted him. It was easy to recognize people from the Wind clan. Due to the requirement for a uniform symbol of recognition, most of them wore long, green robes, making the men and women look elegant and sophisticated. Long Chen could interact with anyone except for members of the Wind clan.

Some people had come here looking for a base, like Shao Yu. This city was controlled by the Wind clan and all fighting was banned. This place provided safety, which was why everyone chose to stay here. Very few people could slip in here like Long Chen due to the tight control, so every inhabitant was registered. One month after entering, they would be kicked out.

After discovering two people, Long Chen stood not far away from them as if he was also a regular inhabitant. Sneaking around would just make other people suspicious. As long as he did not meet a Wind clan member, he would be fine.

“I can’t believe the Martial God Tombstone appeared in an obscure city. The Wind clan has sent masters here. I believe many will arrive soon. Under the Wind clan’s strict watch, people like us won’t even get a chance to see it!”

“With those dozen or so Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivators guarding the place, forget about seeing it. If we get any closer, we’ll be killed. There will be more masters coming here from the Wind clan. This Martial God Tombstone is the first treasure that appeared in the Ancient Graveyard on this trip. The last time this happened was decades ago, and it was taken by the Demon clan. It instantly skyrocketed the Demon clan’s power. Many of the masters in their clan relied on comprehending the Martial God Tombstone to advance their cultivation by multiple levels!”

“I’m so jealous! I’d be satisfied if I could even get a glance at it. Maybe it’ll help me break through to the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage!”

“Don’t think too much about it. We should be content enough by the fact that we don’t need to worry about enemies, demonic beasts, and Metal Devouring Winds here. If the Wind clan heard what you said, they’d flay you. Be careful.”

“I understand.”

Long Chen learned a lot from their conversation.

There are so many people here. Are they all guarding the Martial God Tombstone? Even Earthly Martial Realm cultivators can comprehend it, meaning this thing was left behind by a master who was at least at the Heavenly Martial Realm. Perhaps this is a very powerful treasure aside from the Seven Lords’ inheritance. The Wind clan will likely take this very seriously, send as many masters as they can to guard it, and prevent other people from snatching it away! But there are about ten Seventh Earthly Martial Stage masters now?

Long Chen was currently able to defeat one Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator at most. If two attacked him at the same time, he was not sure if he could defeat them. It looked like it was going to be very difficult to obtain the Martial God Tombstone.

Long Chen shook his head. He was still too weak.

The yearning to become stronger burned in his heart.

Although he was fast approaching the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage, he was still not satisfied. The Martial God Tombstone was his opportunity to rise!

The Wind clan’s people must be guarding the Martial God Tombstone. The person who killed Shao Yu might be there. I have the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so I should observe for a while. I need to understand the situation in this Iron City before I make a move. If not, it’ll get complicated ...

With that thought, Long Chen snuck towards the city center.

***

More than fifty kilometers away from this Iron City was an even larger Iron City. This was the largest city in the Metal District, and it was at least ten times larger than the city Long Chen was currently in. It was a city approximately the size of Martial Overlord City, and it could fit hundreds of thousands of people.

Many golden buildings sparkled in this black Iron City, especially the buildings in the center, which were all golden. There was a golden palace in the exact center of the Iron City. It looked magnificent and regal, showing that it was likely the core of the whole Metal District.

The name of this city was Giant Metal City!

The patriarch of the Wind clan and the other leaders of the Wind clan were based here, at the same time expanding their reach in all directions so the Wind clan was in most of the Metal District. The Wind and the Divine Clan were the two major factions this time. The Divine Clan took over the Fire District, which was also one of the five districts, while the Wind clan took over most of the Metal District. A small portion of the Metal District was taken over by the Gold Clan of the Five Elements Alliance. This also meant that the Wind clan’s largest rival in the Metal District was the Gold Clan.

Both factions were old enemies by now, and they fought often.

More than a thousand cultivators had come to the vast Giant Metal City. The clan leader of the Wind clan was based here, so it was the safest place in the whole Metal District. Even the Metal Devouring Wind did not come here. Of course, no one could stay in this city forever, as that would defeat the purpose of coming to the Ancient Graveyard.

The main objective of coming to the Ancient Graveyard was to kill people and rob treasures!

The truly vicious ones would immerse themselves in massacre the moment they arrived. During this process, they would use the treasures they obtained to strengthen themselves!

Some people lived; some people died. Those who lived would become true elites!

A thousand people were scattered throughout Giant Metal City. The core members and military might of the Wind clan were naturally in the palace at the center of the district.

At this moment, two people were chatting in the golden pavilion at the center of the palace.
