Above all spirits

There's something good in Chapter 262.

"Brother, please don't flatter me too much. The Emperor's Will, which the Titans and the World Gods have been trying to obtain for so many years, has been condensed by me as soon as I got my hands on it. You think too highly of me."

"Seriously, brother, maybe we should just forget about it."

"Even if it actually works out, it would create a huge grudge against the Titans and the gods of the upper realm."

Xiao Li was making his final concession.

But after this step, he would follow Gu Yun to the imperial mausoleum without hesitation, since Gu Yun had stolen the Extreme Yang Pearl.

His purpose was to be able to gather the ultimate Yang Emperor's will.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, I shouldn't keep backing down.

Gu Yun smiled slightly, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Since we've come all this way, how can we leave empty-handed? Resources in this world can't be bought with money; they're earned through competition."

Do you think there's no fighting and killing among the gods and demons in the upper realm?

"Why establish an empire? Why form the Star Alliance?"

"Isn't it all about controlling resources?"

"but."

"What goes around comes around. It's the same no matter who you pay it back to, so you might as well pay it back to me."

Gu Yun's gaze was sharp as he quietly stared at the imperial mausoleum. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something interesting, the playful look in his eyes intensified.

"And don't you think that this imperial tomb itself is a huge lure?"

Xiao Li was initially puzzled, but when the image of the barrier description he had just identified using the system flashed by, and he recalled what Gu Yun had said about the material of the upper realm, he was suddenly shocked, his heart racing, as if he understood the meaning behind Gu Yun's words.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"So, Brother, you mean... we not only need to steal the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will, but also..."

"Wasn't this going too far?"

"If that's the case, then we will be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the entire Titan realm and even the gods of the upper realm who protect the Titan race."

Gu Yun rolled her eyes at him, her tone noticeably more excited. After all, this was a huge amount of resources. She looked down on almost all the resources from the lower realm, but those from the upper realm were a different story.

"How can you call it stealing between cultivators? It's called borrowing, it's called investing. When I cultivate to the level of a god-king or demon-king, I will naturally remember their kindness and repay them a thousandfold."

"Those who fight to the death are people without any vision."

"Besides, did the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will originally belong to them? Did they create these resources by hand?"

"And look at them, they work day and night, constantly maintaining the formation. It must be very hard for them to gather this imperial will."

“I came here to do good deeds and help them, how can I repay kindness with enmity?”

Xiao Li trembled all over, looking at Gu Yun in horror. Countless curses ran through his mind, and he didn't dare to say a word.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone describe stealing and robbing in such a refined and elegant way.

Once you become a god-king or demon-king, will anyone still dare to ask you for anything?

demon!

This person is a demon!

Oh no, he seems to be a demon!

Although that's what Xiao Li thought, he was extremely nervous, after all, there were people around him who could practically crush him with a single finger.

But Xiao Li was undoubtedly excited and looking forward to this trip. He also understood that if he could really get his hands on these resources, he would probably be able to lead the way to the Innate Realm.

The two were perfectly in sync, like shadows drifting in the wind, silently moving through the darkness surrounding the imperial mausoleum, since Werner was currently in control of Xiao Li.

The surrounding barrier alarms did not sound, and not a single unusual movement was detected.

As for the formations that have been maintained, although the effect of the power: assimilation is relatively less obvious compared to the barrier, it is only an offensive formation, and it is an actively triggered type, or a trigger-based counterattack formation that can surpass the power: stealth and can identify the auras of Gu Yun and Xiao Li.

However, the formation in the Titan royal tomb is a four-kill formation that primarily uses a trapping formation and secondarily uses an offensive formation.

The Four-Elemental Sealing Formation has two states: normal and activated. In normal mode, it is mainly used to seal off auras, trap those inside the formation, and isolate those outside. In activated mode, the four different elemental stones placed in the four corners will simultaneously unleash their power, intertwining under the guidance of the formation to form unparalleled killing power, quickly annihilating any intruders.

After learning the principle of this Four Killings Sealing Formation, Gu Yun believed that the killing power formed by the combination of these four elemental forces should be impossible to withstand head-on. However, this formation was just the normal state. As long as the core material of the formation was assimilated, it would not be restricted.

Because almost all trap formations create a medium that allows people to travel together; otherwise, apart from the person who controls the formation's core, everyone would be locked as an enemy, which is clearly contrary to the original intention.

As for that Titan, Guli, he probably possessed some kind of medium of passage, or at the very least, some special means of communication, to notify the person in charge of the array to allow passage.

As for why Gu Yun knows so much?

Then we have to talk about why Gu Yun brought Xiao Li along, a character who, in terms of ability, was completely a burden.

Xiao Li's system is extremely strict in identifying living beings, but it is not so restrictive in identifying this type of object. As for the array in front of him, apart from the question mark on the array's level, all other basic information is readily available. It is truly a system limitation boundary setting that is hard to understand.

Even if there were something that far exceeded Xiao Li's current level or authority, three question marks would still arise.

As for exploring traps, knowing that there are three question marks in a certain place is already quite powerful. A trap is only a trap if it is triggered without the person's knowledge. Being told in advance that you need to pay more attention to this place, even if you don't know what kind of trap it is, the threat level is greatly reduced.

Considering Gu Yun's cultivation level and characteristics, it's no exaggeration to say that clearing this "perilous" imperial tomb dungeon without taking any damage or losing a single life shouldn't be a problem.

The two had been sneaking around for a short while when they encountered two people talking at the entrance of the imperial tomb.

There were two other Titan guards stationed at the entrance, armed with weapons. Their cultivation was clearly a level higher than that of the guards on other stars, both at the peak of the Saint Body realm.

The Titan who spoke with Guli had an even more peculiar aura, possessing pseudo-innate strength.

Being a peak-level being from the lower realm right from the start, this Titan is clearly of extraordinary status.

This luxurious guard lineup, combined with the tight barriers for concealment and early warning, as well as the layers of array formations, made Gu Yun smile inwardly.

The seemingly tight defenses are, in fact, like six words clearly written on the outer wall of this imperial mausoleum.

There's something good inside.
