Chapter 553 Innate Spiritual Treasure, Confident Chen Bei

Jiang Hao's voice wasn't loud, but every word resounded like thunder in the old man's ears.

"You agree, don't you, Old Man of the East Sea, or rather, the Spirit of the Life and Death Disc?"

The old man guarding the tomb is no ordinary person; his true form is the innate treasure born at the beginning of chaos—the Disc of Life and Death.

Born from the same source as the Heavenly Dao, these Heavenly Rank experts have an astonishing origin.

The old man guarding the tomb changed his expression, because the other party had actually revealed his true identity.

That is a secret known to very few people throughout history.

A mysterious and terrifying black and white light flashed in the old tomb keeper's eyes, as if he were about to make a move at any moment.

That was his unique secret technique, which allowed him to see through illusions and understand the true nature of things.

No matter how he investigated, the young man before him was like a fog, impossible to see through or understand.

"Who exactly are you?"

"It's grim," the old man guarding the grave said in a deep voice, his face grim.

He has lived for countless years, and very few people know his identity. Those who do know his identity are mostly old-timers and veterans of the Warring States period.

For example, the Demon Ancestor and his group.

But now, this unfamiliar and mysterious powerful figure actually knows all of this, while he knows nothing about the other party.

This is terrifying.

He subconsciously activated the divine power within him, preparing to make a move, with black and white light intertwining and swirling around him.

That was the essence of life and death, and it was the purest essence of life and death in the world.

This is not something acquired through cultivation, but rather something that is naturally nurtured by nature and originates from the same source as his original body.

Black represents death, the withering of all things, and the severing of life. White represents life, the revival of withered trees, and the coming back to life.

Two auras intertwined and swirled around him. Wherever the black aura passed, the void decayed and collapsed, as if it had been eroded by countless years.

Where the white light passed, the void was reshaped and regenerated, as if time had reversed and all things had been revived.

One dies and one is born, one is born and one dies, the cycle repeats endlessly, life goes on and on.

The old tomb keeper stood in the black and white light, his whole being seemed to have transformed into an ancient god who had walked from the edge of life and death.

His aura became terrifying. At this moment, the old man guarding the tomb was no longer the hunched old man who would fall over with a gust of wind, but a ferocious beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years and had finally opened its eyes.

Jiang Hao glanced at him, just once.

The old man guarding the grave then discovered that he could no longer move.

He was frozen in mid-air, unable to lift even a finger.

His divine power solidified, and the terrifying aura of life and death around his body ceased to move.

"this……"

The old man guarding the tomb broke out in a cold sweat instantly. The man in front of him had only glanced at him, and he had completely lost the ability to resist.

What kind of insane strength is this?

"You are... an exceptionally powerful expert?"

The old man guarding the tomb said in shock, his voice trembling.

"Heaven-defying level?" Jiang Hao said calmly, "I suppose so."

He is now a Mortal Immortal. In terms of the major levels, a Mortal Immortal is indeed on the same level as a Heaven-Defying Immortal in the Tomb Realm, but the two differ greatly in combat power and prestige.

The Immortal of the Mortal World surpasses the Heaven-Defying level in every aspect, not to mention Jiang Hao.

The old man guarding the grave gasped.

Incredible!

This is the pinnacle of existence throughout history, a realm that countless legends dream of, and can be counted on one hand from ancient times to the present.

Each and every one of them is an unparalleled being capable of shaking the very heavens.

Is this young man actually a living, heaven-defying being?

But why has he never seen or heard of such a powerful person? This is not normal. Such a powerful person must be very famous, not unknown!

Seeing the old man's horrified expression, Jiang Hao laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, and don't get excited. We're on the same side."

He then looked away.

Now, the old man guarding the tomb found that he could move again, but he did not make any other movements. Instead, he stood still and remained silent for a long time.

He believed most of what Jiang Hao said.

If the other person hadn't been with them, he wouldn't have survived at all.

Moreover, given the opponent's strength, coupled with the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao...

What are they still resisting for? There's no hope left.

Although he didn't know the background or identity of this powerful figure, it would be a great joy for his side to have such a strong teammate.

After all, this is a heaven-defying level existence, a supreme being capable of influencing the course of a battle.

The old man guarding the grave took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions.

The person in front of me is not an enemy, and that's enough.

He had lived for countless years, witnessed countless deaths and tribulations, and seen through the ways of the world.

Regardless of the other party's background or identity, as long as they defy the heavens, it's a great thing.

After all, this is a heaven-defying powerhouse, an unparalleled existence capable of influencing the course of a battle.

With such a helpful ally, how could we not succeed in our great undertaking of conquering the heavens?

The old tomb keeper composed himself, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

"His surname is Jiang."

"Jiang..." The old man guarding the tomb frowned slightly.

Hearing that surname, for some reason, intensified the sense of familiarity he felt.

However, he searched through all his memories but couldn't find a single powerful figure with the surname Jiang, as if he had forgotten some important memory.

"Could it be that I have forgotten my memories?" This really frightened him. He was a Heavenly Rank expert. Who could make him forget his memories?

"Could something more terrifying than war against the heavens and the destruction of the world have ever happened?"

The old man guarding the tomb suppressed his doubts, surprise, and fear, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, with a powerful expert like you joining us, our chances of victory have greatly increased."

"On behalf of the Zhan Tian lineage, I welcome Fellow Daoist Jiang."

He paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "If Fellow Daoist Jiang has any plans in the future, you can inform us at any time. We will do our best to fulfill your wishes."

Jiang Hao nodded and smiled slightly.

"Yes."

Neither of them said anything more; everything was understood without words.

Chen Bei was completely unaware of their conversation, because he was seeing a completely different scene.

He only saw two mysterious and powerful figures talking amicably, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

The two of them chatted back and forth, with polite smiles on their faces.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and after a while, Jiang Hao turned to look at Chen Bei.

"Alright, I should go now."

Chen Bei was taken aback, then quickly said gratefully, "Senior, I will remember your kindness today and will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future!"

Jiang Hao waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, you should cultivate well, or you might not even be able to beat the baby dragon."

Chen Bei was taken aback: "Dragon Baby? Who's that?"

You'll find out then.

Jiang Hao took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the sky above the Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

Chen Bei looked up at the disappearing figure, his gaze lingering for a long time.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling that he was going to suffer.

"Is there a more powerful prodigy than me? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Chen Bei is now very confident. He has not only recovered his talent, but has also been greatly enhanced.

Now, his talent far surpasses that of the past. He was able to become the number one among the younger generation before, so wouldn't it be even easier for him now?

The old tomb keeper stood beside Chen Bei, stroking his beard, watching Jiang Hao's departing figure, and murmured:

"Life is truly unpredictable. It seems this world will soon be in turmoil."

Chen Bei turned to look at him and asked, "Senior, do you know Senior Jiang?"
