Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Under the protection of the Black Tortoise's shell, Chu Qin and his group faced the terrifying energy tornado head-on!

"Boom rumble!"

The energy tornado struck the Black Tortoise's shell, causing a fierce whistling noise.

Fortunately, the Xuanwu Celestial Venerable's defensive strength was formidable enough that, in the end, Chu Qin and his group safely made it through the tornado and arrived on the ground!

Even so, Long Xue felt quite uncomfortable deep inside.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xue, are you okay?" Chu Qin asked.

Long Xue shook her head, smiling, "Just feeling a bit uncomfortable, but it shouldn't be a big deal!"

"Hmm, a bit of rest should do the trick!" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully the energy tornado did not break my tortoise shell, otherwise, we would all have died here!"

"This energy tornado is so formidable, Yaoguang Imperial Honor and the others should be okay, right?" Chu Qin inquired.

"Don't worry, Li Tianfeng, who can wield the Boundless Immortal Force, is not inferior to me, and besides, they must have made preparations early on," Xuanwu Celestial Venerable said with a smile.

Chu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, naturally, he was worried about Li Qingcheng; just now, he should have asked Li Qingcheng to come with them!

"The energy around here is filled with destructive power!" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable looked at the gloomy surroundings and continued, "I'm afraid, the owner of this tomb is extraordinary, at least not weaker than this old man!"

"Inside there's even a Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit?" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable's pupils widened, "Lord Chu Qin, are you saying that there really is a Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit inside? Can you see it?"

"I can't see it, but I can feel that there is a spirit body with an incredibly powerful spiritual force here, probably the Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"So you, Lord Chu Qin, can feel it! I was wondering why you would give the True Flame Celestial Venerable's tomb to the Infinite Immortal Domain. It turns out to be this reason," Xuanwu Celestial Venerable laughed heartily, "If it's the Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit, then just this primordial spirit alone would probably be more precious than the entire True Flame Celestial Venerable's tomb combined!"

"Hmm!" Chu Qin revealed a smile.

"Wait a second, Chu Qin, Elder Xuanwu," Long Xue asked, "Wasn't it said this is an Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion, with an abundance of heaven earth origin energy? How come the yuan force here is so scant?"

"Because this place isn't the Heavenly Venerate Cave Abode yet, it's just an energy field formed on the outside," Xuanwu Celestial Venerable said with a smile, "The true location of the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion is only known by Lord Chu Qin!"

"Are you saying, that of the Venerate's, is in the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion?" Chu Qin immediately caught on.

"It's just as you say, Lord Chu Qin!" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable exclaimed with a smile.

"Follow me!" Chu Qin nodded and immediately activated Eye of the World as well as the Blood Dragon Fire Spirit Body.

Quickly, Chu Qin locked onto the position of the Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit and successfully arrived at a place where the heaven earth origin energy was extremely dense!

Here, below was a lake!

Above the lake, vapors were rising.

It was as if the heaven earth origin energy was so dense that it was visible to the naked eye!

"This yuan force is unlike anything I've ever seen!" Long Xue exclaimed excitedly.

"It's also beyond anything I've ever seen!" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable followed with a smile, "No mistake about it, the mysterious Venerate's remains and the Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit are right underneath this lake! And this entire lake is the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion!"

"Strange, hasn't this journey been a bit too smooth?" Long Xue said.

"Xiao Xue, it's because we have Xuanwu Celestial Venerable with us!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "Without Xuanwu Celestial Venerable, how could we have easily entered here?"

"I alone would not be enough!" Xuanwu Celestial Venerable interjected, "Without your guidance, Lord Chu Qin, we would have never found this Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion so quickly!"

"Alright, Xuanwu Celestial Venerable, let's not be modest with each other," Chu Qin said with a smile, "What do we do next?"

"There might still be danger in this lake, at least the water has been eroded by destructive power!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a smile, "The safest method, of course, would be to force out the Celestial Venerable's Primordial Spirit!"

"Leave it to me!" As soon as the words of Xuan Wu Tian Zun fell, his head suddenly transformed into that of the Black Tortoise, then Xuan Wu Tian Zun's gaping maw opened wide!

In an instant, under the devouring divine power of Xuan Wu Tian Zun, the water of the vast lake began to surge into his mouth as if rivers were merging into the sea, crazily!

The depth and volume of the lake far exceeded the imagination of Chu Qin and Long Xue!

After a full three minutes, Xuan Wu Tian Zun's enormous mouth, having swallowed lake water equivalent to at least that of a planet, the lake beneath their feet finally neared its end.

At this moment, countless sea beast shadows flew out from the bottom of the lake, attacking Chu Qin and the others.

These sea beasts, having absorbed energy from the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion over time, had each grown incredibly terrifying.

However, no matter how strong they were, how could they be a match for Xuan Wu Tian Zun? Before they even had a chance to make a move, they, along with the lake water, were swallowed into Xuan Wu Tian Zun's mouth!

Simultaneously, as the last of the water was drained, the celestial corpse at the bottom of the lake finally became exposed!

"Cough..." Xuan Wu Tian Zun let out a satisfied burp, "It's been a long time since I drank this much, I'm a bit stuffed!"

"What is your stomach made of, Xuan Wu Tian Zun?" Chu Qin teased. He couldn't help but be amazed as he had swallowed an entire planet's worth of lake water.

"Hehe, truth be told, Lord Chu Qin, back in the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary, I was the Celestial Pond Guardian," Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a smile, "I was specifically in charge of adjusting the water level of the Celestial Pond, and the means of adjustment were to devour the Celestial Pond Water!"

"So that's how it is," Chu Qin nodded.

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Xuan Wu Tian Zun continued, "Lord Chu Qin, let's go down and see, who exactly is this divine being!"

With that said, the three of them arrived at the now dried lakebed.

There, a set of bones in a meditative pose was seen, the skeleton wore a set of Black Armor and donned a Black Crown, reduced to bones with no way to discern its face!

Next to the skeleton, there was a blood-stained Kokutō!

No one knew what material the Kokutō was made from, but the blood on it was surprisingly fresh!

"I've never seen this person before!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun frowned slightly, "Even though he is reduced to bones now, I am certain he is not a Venerate of Heavens from the Infinite Heavens!"

"A Holy Realm Sovereign? Or a mysterious creature?" Chu Qin wondered.

Xuan Wu Tian Zun shook his head, "Can't tell. However, there is one thing I am sure of!"

"What is that?" Chu Qin asked.

"The Black Armor and Kokutō on his body are both artifacts of a Heavenly Venerate level!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun declared with a smile, "This Black Armor and Kokutō are eternal, and the blood on this Kokutō never dries, both undoubtedly Divine Artifacts! Lord Chu Qin, we've struck it rich!"

"You take the Black Armor and the Black Crown, and I'll have the Kokutō, how's that?" Chu Qin proposed with a smile.

Xuan Wu Tian Zun shook his head, "Lord Chu Qin, what are you saying? How could I, your humble servant, take your belongings? All three Divine Artifacts are yours!"

"It doesn't seem right for me to accept them all!" Chu Qin said.

"What's wrong with that! This old servant's life is in your hands, let alone mere artifacts!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun responded.

Then... Chu Qin turned to look at Long Xue!

"Chu Qin, what are you getting at? Are you still going to play these games with me?" Long Xue saw right through Chu Qin's intentions before he even spoke, "I am your woman, and it pains me that I am already unable to do much for you. I don't want any of these three Divine Artifacts, not even one!"

"All right then!" Chu Qin decided to temporarily take possession of the three Divine Artifacts for later distribution.

Just as Chu Qin's hand touched the Kokutō, his consciousness suddenly blurred!
