Chapter 69: Descendants of the Eight Sages!
Inside the game, homeless Lu Qing found the Gravekeeper in the black tower.
The Gravekeeper’s eyes were purple, his face full of wrinkles and white hair made him look very old, but the black robe he wore was exquisitely designed, very much in line with the players’ aesthetic.
"Gravekeeper… Your Excellency, the manager, if you can give land to those people, can you also give me some land?"
Lu Qing tried to speak more respectfully.
The Gravekeeper’s identity is even more mysterious than his.
According to the current game background, the black tower has existed for countless centuries.
But the Gravekeeper has always protected here, indicating that he is also immortal.
Why does he insist on guarding this huge black tower?
From the player’s perspective, it’s just part of the setting.
But from a real-world perspective, there must be a reason for him to stay here.
For example… he may not be able to leave here?
Upon hearing this, the Gravekeeper’s purple eyes flashed, "The world outside the tower is not safe. Do not be deceived by the current tranquility, one day, the outside world will be just like inside the tower."
"By then, the tower will truly be a paradise."
"Go inside the tower to find a place to rest, where you can be safe from future darkness."
Is it not safe outside the tower?
Is it safer inside the tower where monsters roam?
This…
Oh well, Gravekeeper must know something, let’s just listen to him for now.
"Thank you."
Lu Qing nodded, about to leave, but Gravekeeper suddenly smiled, "This is our first meeting, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing stopped in his tracks, "Yes, do you have something to tell me?"
The gravedigger smiled, "You, like me, pursue your ancestors. Your ancestor must have been a great and holy wise person."
A great and holy wise person?
Lu Qing tried to recall and remembered that he had indeed heard of this word before.
Back then, Lu Qing was puzzled. How did the original owner of this body get hold of ancient books about the Tower of Seals?
The name of that book is called ‘Record of Eight Sages Sealed’.
In the records, the Eight Sages were not natives of the Green Velon continent.
They came from a distant mysterious land in the east.
They displayed extraordinary abilities on the sea, crossing the boundless chaotic sea to come alone to this place called The Sealed Land.
They killed numerous ancient disasters and sealed countless beings as powerful as gods.
They were selfless, keeping various uncontrollable disasters sealed within their descendants, thus protecting them for generations to come.
At first, Lu Qing didn’t realize the connection to the monster inside him, as his abilities were given by the Creator God.
How could it be related to the sealed monster?
But now it seems that may be the truth.
The original owner of this body is likely a descendant of one of the eight sages in the story.
"Are you also a descendant of the eight sacred sages?"
Lu Qing asked the Gravekeeper.
The Gravekeeper smiled, "Yes, my ancestors can be traced back to the sixth sage, but I have no descendants, so I’ve been guarding the seal alone and resting here."
"Make good use of this gift from your ancestors."
After saying that, the Gravekeeper disappeared inside the tower.
Lu Qing regained his senses and Gravekeeper told him he could trace back to the sixth sage.
What about myself?
Which sage does he correspond to?
Lu Qing remembered that the Eight Sages sealed eight demons who once ruled over the most prosperous continent on earth.
Each demon controlled different elemental powers – some controlled the ocean, some controlled flames, some controlled the earth, some controlled storms, and some controlled thunder.
Some even controlled the phases of the moon, and even the sky!
The most numerous and powerful demon ruling over humans was the one who controlled flames.
In the records, this demon alone could easily defeat the other seven demons!
His name is written in Ancient God Language, translated directly as Divine Kingdom.
Also known as Holy Lord!
In the records, he was sealed by the strongest among the Eight Virtuous Ones, the First Sage, and his powers were divided into twelve!
If Lu Qing’s guess is correct, he is the ancestor of this body.
He is the First Sage.
Because only the First Sage has sealed something that was not recorded.
The existence sealed by the other seven sages is all recorded in the Sealing Record of the Eight Virtuous Ones!
The record does not mention this kind of monster inside Lu Qing’s body, so it is very likely that this monster is the one sealed by the First Sage!
。。。
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Fang Ze and his friends were making progress in defeating the Snake Lord.
Of course, there were also other teams trying to challenge the Snake Lord.
The location of the Snake Lord had been revealed, and anyone with the idea could come here to challenge it.
Unfortunately, no one has been able to defeat the second form of the Snake Lord so far.
This is because the Snake Lord’s move, Dark Skill, is too difficult to counter.
Up to now, no one has come up with a good solution.
Until today, when Fang Ze and his friends returned to the volcano, they met the old man mining sulfur in the volcano again.
It seemed that his previous experiment had failed.
The group chatted with him out of habit for a while, but they didn’t expect the old man to show them a special stone.
"Look at this! When I first dug up this stone, I didn’t pay attention to it. But later, it started getting brighter and hotter!"
"This stone seems to absorb ultraviolet light. The longer it stays under the sun, the brighter and hotter it gets!"
Fang Ze and the others were stunned to see the old man holding a completely black stone in his hand.
Initially, this stone was pure black and cold. But as it was exposed to the sunlight, it surprisingly changed from black to red!
Seeing this, Fang Ze decisively offered to buy the stone!
What is this? Isn’t this the light source they were looking for?!
There is a saying, where snakes appear, there must be herbs that can cure their venom!
And the antidote for the volcano snake is this stone!
Thinking about this, Fang Ze and his friends decisively started experimenting with the stone.
After a whole day of sunshine, the stone changed from black to red, and then from red to light gold!
At this point, the stone was so hot that it could peel off the skin!
Ye Qiu didn’t want to burn his gloves, so he chose to pick it up with bare hands.
Enduring the intense pain of burnt flesh, he put the stone in his backpack and quickly drank some Healing Potion from Brother Achieving Immortal.
"Hmm… still as awful-tasting as ever."
As long as the oxalic acid remains, the Healing Potion won’t taste good.
Although Brother Achieving Immortal’s Healing Potion tasted a bit terrible, its effect was remarkable.
About a minute after he drank the potion, the burning sensation in his hand had disappeared.
The cooked flesh was squeezed out, and numerous blood clots reformed.
At this stage, the Healing Potion from Achieving Immortal has become a must-have item for every battle player.
"But what is this stone anyway?"
"I’m not sure, should we ask the guide?"
"Didn’t the guide ask us to leave?"
"We probably don’t need the guide, let’s just ask the Hobbit near the volcano about the stone directly."
"Can he tell us? He has quite a temper."
"No worries, just mention the master blacksmith when asking."
"Agreed."
