C173 Spirit of the Ancient Tomb
C173 Spirit of the Ancient Tomb
He wasn't afraid, but felt somewhat guilty for saying such words.
Counting the time, he and Ancient Tomb Clan's Xiao Ling and grandfather had at most known each other for a day. Other than the grace of saving lives, he did not have any connections with this grandfather and grandson.
"No, I can feel a strong sense of gratitude from you." Even though the Ancient Tomb Spirit had not left the ancient tomb for a thousand years, he could clearly feel that the Ancient Tomb Clan was close to being destroyed. Even if Little Ling and her grandfather were to remain, they were old and young, sickly and handicapped. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to enter the ancient tomb.
Lu Yang did not hide anything and told his about how he met Xiao Ling, how he saved Ling's grandpa, and how he punished Tian Hsingjian and the rest. Especially when it came to critical moments, even White Tiger King by the side roared, as if he was showing off his achievements to the Ancient Tomb Spirit.
"So that's how it is. No wonder after these few hundred years, the number of people who can enter this land of frost with my Ancient Tomb Clan is becoming fewer and fewer, and it has even been more than a hundred years since then, and I almost died out. It seems that I can really blame myself for falling into slumber for being careless for several hundred years, and forgetting to help my Ancient Tomb Clan clansmen to obtain the support of Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow s. The Ancient Tomb Spirit sighed, and said helplessly.
"So the legends of the Ancient Tomb Clan said to allow them to enter this ice palace, to get the support of the Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow, and to increase their own strength!" Hearing the Ancient Tomb Spirit's words, Lu Yang sighed, and said in shock.
"Indeed, the reason why I built this tomb is not only to bury my ancestors. More importantly, to pass on the true treasures of our Ancient Tomb Clan, the Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow."
"With the support of this Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow, we can guarantee that the descendants of our Ancient Tomb Clan will possess the physique of ice within a thousand years, which increases the possibility of taming ferocious beasts. We can even improve their Spiritual Root and give them more potential for growth."
"Unfortunately, the cold energy of these Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow have become weaker and weaker recently, to the point where they are unable to support my existence. If it were not for the fact that I have been asleep for hundreds of years, I am afraid that the ice palaces here would have disappeared long ago. But even so, the Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow here can't hold on for much longer. " Speaking up to here, the Ancient Tomb Spirit immediately let out an incomparably sorrowful sigh.
"Senior, although this junior is only a High Level Beast-controlling Master, I am still the Sect Leader of the Supreme Sects and possess a certain amount of power. Since I was able to meet with senior here and even saved Ancient Tomb Clan, it means that there is a relationship between the two of us, so if there is anything that junior can do to help, junior will not refuse! " Lu Yang could tell from the Ancient Tomb Spirit's voice that this Ancient Tomb Spirit had probably used up all its oil and was about to die.
However, what he said was not to loot while there was still fire, but to truly help Ancient Tomb Clan. Especially the experiences of Xiao Ling and her grandfather, it made Lu Yang, who had never had a father since he was young, to think about his own childhood experiences. This was also the reason why he was willing to help Ancient Tomb Clan.
Furthermore, from the tone of the Ancient Tomb Spirit, it could be seen that it definitely had something good for him.
"Ah, well, I understand all that you've said. "Young man, come in." With a wave of his hand, the wall of cold air that was initially in front of Lu Yang suddenly split into two like water vapor, revealing a small path that led straight to the end of the icy mist.
Lu Yang was not a timid person. With the permission of the Ancient Tomb Spirit, he rode the Six-eyed Golden Lion and entered the crevice in the ice. Not long after, he arrived at the end of the ice mist.
"My god, is this still an ice palace?" When Lu Yang arrived at the Ancient Tomb Spirit's residence, he realized that the ice palaces that he saw earlier were simply too weak.
Because in front of him, not only did ice and snow lotuses of different ages grow, a Thousand-year-old Ice Marrow the size of a single bed was placed in front of Lu Yang.
In addition, the daily necessities were all available here. It was like a small ice palace, especially the plants that were carved into a lifelike shape. Other than the fact that there were no ordinary plants of any color, there was no difference at all.
If these ice and snow plants did not emit cold air, Lu Yang would really think they were living plants.
However, compared to that, the Ancient Tomb Spirit looked like it was surrounded by mist and looked extremely weak. If it wasn't because it could still condense into a human form, Lu Yang would not have found it strange even if he called it a wave of cold air.
"Junior greets Senior Ancient Tomb Spirit." The moment Lu Yang entered the Ancient Tomb Spirit's palace, he cupped his hands and respectfully said.
"Not bad young man, you really didn't let me down." The Ancient Tomb Spirit looked at Lu Yang and nodded in satisfaction. It could tell that although Lu Yang wasn't a benevolent person, he was definitely not an evil person. Furthermore, in Lu Yang's normal thoughts, he actually had a merciful heart.
Of course, in this world, there was always a kind side to everyone. The difference was that some people's kindness was very weak, and even the slightest bit of benefit could be distorted. On the other hand, Lu Yang was someone who was free and easy to handle. Even though he had a very normal appearance and cared a lot of the time about the benefits, once a friend or relative was in trouble, he would definitely ignore everything else.
This was also the point that Ancient Tomb Spirit valued the most.
"Many thanks, senior. May I ask what it is that you need this junior to do?" Seeing the more than ten ice lotuses in the room, Lu Yang only sighed, then looked at the Ancient Tomb Spirit.
"Very good, young man, you are able to remain unmoved by the benefits that are in front of you, you are a steady young man. The reason why I called you over is because I have a very important task I want to entrust to you. " The Ancient Tomb Spirit looked at Lu Yang with slight appreciation and continued.
"Oh? Senior, please speak? " Lu Yang was slightly stunned, and immediately knew that the main event had arrived.
"As you can see, our Ancient Tomb Clan is currently withered, and is on the verge of extinction. If I did not care about it now, I'm afraid our Ancient Tomb Clan would have already been completely destroyed, and this is not what I want to see. So I want to hand over the Ancient Tomb Clan to you for you to manage, to revive my Ancient Tomb Clan, and I wonder if little friend is willing to help you?" The Ancient Tomb Spirit knew that it was running out of time, so it increased its speed.
"This, I'm afraid this junior does not have enough strength!" Lu Yangxin became depressed, thinking, you lived for more than a thousand years and yet were unable to revive your Ancient Tomb Clan, so you want me, an outsider, to intervene, and you sure you can do it?
Putting aside the fact that Ancient Tomb Clan was desolate, there were only her grandfather and Little Ling, the two clan members, and just the resources they had currently was pitifully little, so this was a completely impossible mission!
"Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision, first listen to my story. If you finish listening to this story, it's not too late to decide. " The Ancient Tomb Spirit seemed to have expected Lu Yang's reaction and comforted him immediately.
"Oh? Since senior has already said so, junior is willing to listen. " Lu Yang knew that entering the Ice Palace this time was not only a once in a lifetime opportunity for him, but also a once in a lifetime opportunity for his Ancient Tomb Clan to revive.
"Our Ancient Tomb Clan was originally a large clan of the south. At that time, although our Ancient Tomb Clan could not be said to be overflowing with power, there were still a few powerful individuals overseeing it, and I was even a profound beast tamer back then. " The Ancient Tomb Spirit said indifferently.
Although Lu Yangxin had already guessed it beforehand, when he heard the Ancient Tomb Spirit's words, he still felt incredibly shocked.
However, the main focus of his concern this time had shifted towards why his Ancient Tomb Clan had declined so quickly.
