Fire Head Hill, located in a plain area within the Ancient Martial World of Song Mountain on Earth, spans an area of about ten thousand miles. It’s the only uneven place here, yet no one expected that Fire Head Hill would be the tomb of a Martial Saint. It’s unknown how long it’s been buried here; it could be thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years. The further back the era, the more significant it becomes for today’s martial artists, increasing their temptation.

In this world without ”immortals,” martial artists defy the heavens even in death, just wanting to live. Living is everyone’s ultimate desire. Who in the world can live forever? No matter your unparalleled beauty, reigning supreme, in the end, you’ll be but a skeletal figure; no matter how glorious your era, holding vast territories, ultimately, you will turn into dust. Many things will be submerged in the river of history; however, ancient legends of eternal life and immortality continue to circulate. Perhaps someone indeed achieved immortality, a prospect everyone hopes might exist, a possibility everyone hopes might have existed. Therefore, the older the divine arts, the older the knowledge, the more extensive the information, the longer the divine skills immortal scripture has been inherited, the more extraordinarily powerful it is.

This Martial Saint tomb has become a coveted place for many. Even with the protective great formation there, making it impossible to force one’s way in, strong individuals visit every day. Should an opportunity arise, they won’t hesitate to rush in to obtain the inheritance of this Ancient Martial Saint and learn more ancient Earth secrets.

As Ye Tianchen became a martial artist, learning more and more, the questions in his heart increased, his speculations grew. How was Earth once a cultivation golden age? What scene did it present? Two peerless invincible human emperors emerged from Earth; what did they leave here? Why did Earth become like this? Why did many powerful figures leave? Why were ancient transmission arrays destroyed? These countless secrets beg to be known, these countless secrets beg to be traced to their roots. Ye Tianchen would continue this path, gradually unveiling them.

”Once we reach the Martial Saint tomb, if the protective great formation is indeed activated, I’ll go in alone. You wait outside; if I don’t come out within an hour, then leave!” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and spoke to Hu Gao.

”Boss, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid I’m the kind to fear death or afraid I’ll make enmities with others coming to seize the Martial Saint inheritance?” Hu Gao asked somewhat displeased.

”Rest assured, should I come out alive, I’ll definitely bring the Martial Saint inheritance, and it will all be yours!” Ye Tianchen said, looking seriously at Hu Gao.

”No, we are brothers. We share fortune, face adversity together. I’m Hu Gao, and I uphold loyalty. We must go in together, come out together!” Hu Gao said firmly.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, knowing Hu Gao’s personality. Despite being unreliable, as part of the ”Wash Cut Blow,” he’s extremely loyal and a man of integrity, though irresponsible. However, Ye Tianchen didn’t intend to let Hu Gao enter the Martial Saint tomb. Although Hu Gao hadn’t told him much about the tomb’s formidable traits, Ye Tianchen understood it wasn’t easily accessible; entering might mean never coming out.

The Martial Saint tomb is the burial ground for a formidable Martial Saint Peak Realm figure. The massive hill itself is his tomb, which has been eroded for countless ages before revealing even a little crack. Even Martial Saints like Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi went but dared not act to open it—showing it’s extremely complex. Anyone could guess that obtaining inheritance from such a strong individual’s tomb isn’t easy. Inside, formations abound and killing intent is omnipresent; anyone rushing in might face total annihilation.

Ye Tianchen didn’t want Hu Gao to take this risk, considering his cultivation is lower, making entering even more dangerous. He might not have the strength to protect Hu Gao later.

”Don’t say more; let’s discuss it when the time comes!” Ye Tianchen responded after seeing Hu Gao insist on entering the tomb.

”Boss, for any matter, I can obey you, but not this. We are brothers; we must fight together, life and death as brothers.” Hu Gao said very seriously.

Ye Tianchen felt a trace of emotion in his heart. In such a world where the strong prey on the weak, having someone who truly loves you, a genuine brother and friend, is something worth rejoicing more than anything.

”Alright, let’s the two of us brother venture the Martial Saint tomb together, gain powerful inheritance, explore ancient Earth secrets.” Ye Tianchen clenched his fist tightly.

”Alright!” Hu Gao shouted excitedly.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Two sword lights suddenly sliced over; Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao quickly dodged, halting their forward flight. Fire Head Hill was already faintly visible ahead but was blocked by two women in Taoist robes.

”Why block the way?” Ye Tianchen asked calmly.

”Humph, no one is allowed near Fire Head Hill,” one of the female Taoists said coldly.

”Our Immortal Wuji is about to enter the Martial Saint tomb to explore; no idle persons may approach, or they will face obliteration,” the other female Taoist said loudly.

”Immortal Wuji? What a fitting name—clearly for a woman, no chance of having a cock, what a good name, even more domineering than my name Hu Gao.” Hu Gao laughed loudly.

”You... didn’t expect you two to still be such shameless scoundrels. Now, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

”Shameless things, hand over your lives!”

The two female Taoists, upon hearing Hu Gao’s words, were both extremely embarrassed and had quite explosive tempers. Each wielding a sword, they charged towards Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao.

Bang!

Bang!

Hu Gao made his move, his cultivation was above that of the two female Taoists. With two palms, he forced the two female Taoists to retreat, with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, ”I wonder which temple you belong to, still quite fragrant? The name Immortal Wuji isn’t bad, I wonder if she’s heard of me, Hu Gao?”

”You... lecher, trespassing on our Dao Yi Temple’s territory, and still dare to speak so arrogantly. If you have guts, come with us!”

The two female Taoists were very assertive, realizing they couldn’t defeat Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao, they turned around and left. Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao exchanged a glance and quickly followed. It seemed someone had already reached Fire Head Hill and entered the Martial Saint Tomb ahead of them. This wasn’t acceptable, even if the place ahead was a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair, they had to venture in. They couldn’t just watch others take the Martial Saint inheritance.

Following behind the two female Taoists, Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao didn’t make a move. After all, entering the Martial Saint Tomb was urgent, and it was unnecessary to waste time killing.

”Dao Yi Temple, what kind of place is that?” Ye Tianchen asked Hu Gao.

”I don’t know either, it’s probably a group of female Taoists. In the Ancient Martial World, there are many such places. Three to five martial artists form a temple, or maybe a sect or something, occupying a place, and it’s their territory!” Hu Gao said, puzzled.

”No, judging by the swordsmanship of those two female Taoists just now, it’s also quite extraordinary. This Dao Yi Temple shouldn’t be a simple place; let’s be cautious later!” Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

”Who cares what kind of place it is, my trip can’t be in vain. No matter how formidable the Martial Saint Tomb is, I have to venture through it!” Hu Gao said loudly.

When Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao arrived at Fire Head Hill, the two female Taoists were already gone. They saw a group of people floating above Fire Head Hill, all holding their breath and focusing, but no one made a move.

”One, two, three, four, five... just five people, they came really quickly. In such a short time, five people have already arrived!” Hu Gao counted the people surrounding Fire Head Hill and spoke.

”Be careful, stay behind me. These five people all have Mid-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation. It seems Earth’s Ancient Martial World is full of hidden talents, with many powerful individuals concealed, all appearing now. Is Earth really going to be in chaos?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but say.

”Don’t worry, boss. My life motto is, if I can fight, I fight; if I can’t fight, I run; if I can’t run, I play dead.” Hu Gao chuckled and said.

”Hmm? Weren’t you just saying that no matter what, we should go into the Martial Saint Tomb and see? We should go in together?” Ye Tianchen asked, astonished.

”Boss, you heard wrong. Am I that kind of person? With my Early-stage Martial Venerate cultivation going in, it’s likely a death trip. Besides, those five people are all tough characters, maybe I shouldn’t participate? We’re brothers; if I really end up dead, wouldn’t you be in pain for life? I’m thinking of you here, aren’t I?” Hu Gao said shamelessly.

”You... you punk...”

Ye Tianchen was speechless to the extreme, but before he could finish chiding Hu Gao, a powerful palm strike came flying directly at Ye Tianchen’s head. Ye Tianchen frowned, this was the first time he saw someone so aggressive, wanting to kill him without asking questions. At the moment, Ye Tianchen did not show weakness, his right hand tightly clenched, he punched back.

Bang!

Martial Arts True Power scattered, Ye Tianchen turned to look at the five people above Fire Head Hill. The one who attacked him was a woman resembling a Daoist nun; her appearance was passable, around thirty years old, her eyes coldly stared at Ye Tianchen, and with a somewhat surprised look!
