But what if, just in case?
What if those people went mad and opened it up regardless...
At this mont, an inexplicable regret welled up in Li An’s heart.
Perhaps it shouldn’t have been this way, after all, it was... reckless!
However, he didn’t let this self-pitying emotion take over. He beca extrely calm, his anomalous qi running rapidly, no outward leakage of his divine sense within. Yet, his hearing and touch remained at their peak.
At this ti, he had to pretend to be a dead man.
A corpse of an exotic spirit.
Any slight leak of life waves, if detected by those outside, would likely bring about a cataclysmic disaster.
He could even feel the fluctuations of anomalous qi paths; if he wanted to seize them, he would forever have the advantage being inside the tomb, surely able to obtain them... but he restrained himself.
Absolutely no movent.
In such chaotic circumstances, enduring until the end was the best.
He silently absorbed the aura of the exotic spirit’s corpse, the anomalous qi in his dantian growing rapidly, emanating a strange aura that altered his appearance, turning his skin gray like stone, extrely withered.
The entire tomb was silent to the extre, not even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard.
As ti ticked by, Li An remained on high alert.
Suddenly, a massive wave ca, and he distinctly heard, as if soone landed above on the ground, likely a formidable expert!
This expert lingered for a while before leaving, followed imdiately by a swift and hidden divine thought sweeping by.
Rumbles ensued.
The battle continued, at tis approaching close, causing soil to rustle down into the tomb.
Much ti passed, and during the most tense mont, Li An even heard soone jumping into the pit he dug, hovering just outside the tomb.
Between Li An and the person was only a corpse he had sealed, blocking the way.
Had the person moved that corpse, they would have discovered another world, exposing Li An in the tomb.
His breath stopped!
But fortunately, that person eventually left.
After this tense encounter, Li An suddenly noticed his surroundings gradually calming, and he felt as if he and the surrounding land were sinking...
The terrifying battle fluctuations, the sounds gradually faded away until they were completely inaudible.
Is it over?
Li An had been counting the ti; from the outbreak until now, it had been half a month.
Has the Southern Sea Immortal Wind ended?
He did not know.
"If I guessed correctly, the Giant Tomb Island should be sinking... sinking to the sea bottom?"
Li An was sowhat skeptical, but he remained unmoving.
Finally, a slight tremor ca, likely indicating the Giant Tomb Island had finally touched the sea floor, and the sinking sensation vanished.
Is it... safe?
Li An did not relax, maintaining his state, still pretending to be a dead man.
One year, two years, three years...
Li An lay in the tomb, pretending to be dead for seven full years.
The process was extrely long. Clearly not dead, yet he had to mimic a corpse, remaining still for seven years... Fortunately, Li An already had the experience of hiding in a stinking ditch for twenty-two years without moving, so it wasn’t difficult for him.
"Must be at the sea bottom, the temperature inside the tomb is gradually lowering..."
Li An’s heart gradually settled.
It should be safe!
He truly felt incredibly fortunate. In this chaotic battle, he only had a seventy to eighty percent chance of surviving; it was a real walk along the edge of death, risking his life in an enormous hazard.
Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
But just at this mont, a clear sound suddenly ca...
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound was rhythmical.
Like the sound of soone walking in wooden clogs...
The sound started faintly, grew stronger, and finally beca clear, clearer...
"Really able to lie down, huh? It’s been seven years. Is pretending to be dead really that interesting?"
A woman’s laugh ca from the other side of the tomb.
Li An’s hair stood on end!
...
Is there actually a living being in this tomb?
Is it a human, or a ghost?
Having reached the Refining Void cultivation level, ordinary ghosts and evil spirits no longer worried him, but this was the Giant Tomb Island, a truly eerie place.
This island could even drain the life of those miners!
Li An’s heart leaped into his throat, extrely tense, yet he remained calm, unmoving.
Continue pretending to be dead!
What if the other party hadn’t discovered him and was just bluffing?
He focused all his attention on the direction where the tapping sound originated, and was already prepared to launch a full attack...
"It was hard enough to find here, now that you see , you’re afraid instead? Haha, are Great Fan Strange Monarch’s people such cowards?"
"Hiding in my sacrificial pit, stealing the corpses of my seven prey, wasn’t it just to get close to ?"
The woman’s voice continued, carrying a kind of cold, proud tone amidst its allure, as she said, "Hurry and get over here!"
Li An carefully analyzed her words.
Who was Great Fan Strange Monarch? Obviously, he was seeking this tomb’s owner, yet the tomb’s owner took Li An to be soone sent by Great Fan Strange Monarch?
Moreover, the other party had clearly discovered him!
Go over?
No!
Since she hadn’t co directly, perhaps she had so limitation preventing her from entering the tomb hole. Going directly over might fall into her trap!
Thinking of this, Li An didn’t hesitate at all, his figure ready to plunge into the void and disappear—
He was going to flee!
But a cold, freezing force seeped into the void, the void seed frozen, and Li An, a Refining Void Great Cultivator, was forced out of the void!
