The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

The space in front of me surrounds the entire large tomb, excavating a spacious, bowl-shaped area.

In the middle is the main body of the tomb, supporting the entire hollow structure.

My gaze falls on the entrance of the tomb, where there is a black door flanked by two stone statues.

The stone statues are two strange mythical beasts, shrouded in a faint aura of pressure.

Li Qing looks at the two stone guardians in front of the door through the shadow of the paper man, pondering.

"These should be tomb guardians. The longer the time, the more dangerous it becomes, accumulating a considerable amount of Essence Qi. Once it erupts, it will be earth-shattering."

"My shadow only has the ability to walk and jump in the shadows, without the ability to fight. It's not realistic to break through here."

Under Li Qing's control, the shadow paper man gradually approaches the direction of the door.

He wants to see if his shadow paper man will be discovered by these mysterious tomb guardians.

Just as he approaches to within a yard of the tomb guardians, the bodies of the two guardians seem to tremble slightly, as if about to awaken.

A sense of danger rushes over, and Li Qing immediately stops, and the shadow paper man quickly retreats.

As the shadow paper man retreats, the two restless tomb guardians seem to gradually quiet down.

Li Qing thinks to himself, "Unless my real body arrives, the shadow paper man won't be able to pass."

The shadow paper man quickly leaves the area, and the Essence Qi film surrounding the cave walls does not hinder his departure.

Li Qing's true body slowly awakens, pondering.

"The Carp King is right here, I can use him to break this tomb. At the same time, I can also deplete the tomb's power."

"Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, hehe."

With a clear idea in mind, Li Qing quickly begins to act.

...

A shrimp soldier is swaying on a clump of mud.

His two large eyes are looking around, searching for any suspicious underwater structures.

At this moment, a dark figure suddenly flashes by and drifts away into the distance.

The shrimp soldier is stunned for a moment, then his eyes light up and he quietly follows.

Soon, the shrimp soldier follows the shadow into a muddy cave.

He sees the shadow entering the cave and decides to follow.

At this moment, a figure silently appears behind him.

"Heavenly Civilization Torrent" instantly rushes into the shrimp soldier's mind.

In the shrimp soldier's consciousness, a brilliant torrent instantly overwhelms his consciousness. In just a few breaths, the shrimp soldier looks at Heavenly Civilization Torrent with reverence.

There seems to be a supreme and great demon god inside, quietly watching him.

"I am the supreme demon god, and now I bestow upon you the supreme honor of a mission."

"The great god of the myriad demons, Shrimp Dumpling will do everything to complete your mission."

At this moment, Shrimp Dumpling is bowing down, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Tell the Carp King that you have discovered a mysterious underwater structure."

At this point, Shrimp Dumpling's mind has already formed a memory. He ventured into this cave and accidentally stumbled upon a spacious area at a water vein node. He found a tomb and quickly escaped the same way he came.

Shrimp Dumpling loudly declares, "Yes, great god of the myriad demons."

"Shrimp Dumpling will definitely complete the mission for the great cause of the Monster Race!"

With that, he turns and heads towards the general's mansion of the Carp King.

Li Qing quietly emerges from the darkness, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

In the next moment, he arrives at the water vein node.

He lightly taps the cave wall at the water vein node.

"Rotating Wheel of Heaven and Earth to Transform Tribulation Qi" surges out in an instant.

An invisible mysterious aura covers the illusory cave wall. Any creature entering from here will be tainted with Tribulation Qi.

This will inevitably lead to encountering various dangers in the tomb, resulting in a significant reduction in their numbers.

After setting everything up, Li Qing quietly disappears from the area, leaving only a shadow paper man hiding in the shadows.

He has returned to his prepared cave to hide.

...

At the general's mansion, the Carp King is quietly spending another day.

The elegant and savage scene of singing and dancing, with a belly full of blood, makes his palace appear eerie.

Suddenly, there is a commotion outside the palace.

The Carp King's expression turns serious. "What's the commotion outside?"

At this moment, a crab general walks in from outside. "Your Majesty, a shrimp soldier has come to report that he seems to have discovered a mysterious underwater structure."

Upon hearing this, the Carp King's eyes widen, and he sits up directly.

"Is this true?"

The crab general says in a low voice, "It's the news brought back by the shrimp soldier. It seems that he has been inside, so it should be true."

A smile appears on the Carp King's face. "Good, summon him immediately."

The crab general quickly goes outside, and Shrimp Dumpling follows closely behind. Soon, they arrive at the main hall.

Shrimp Dumpling looks at the Carp King above and kneels down, saying with great respect, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Quickly, tell me what you saw."

Shrimp Dumpling quickly gets up and excitedly says, "Your Majesty, today I was patrolling the bottom of the lake as usual."

"Then I entered a muddy cave and encountered a water vein."

"As I swam along the water vein, I unintentionally arrived at a junction of water veins."

"Because the water flow was a bit turbulent, I accidentally bumped into a wall of the water vein, and then I squeezed into a strange place."

"When I came to my senses, I found myself in a huge hollow space."

"I saw a tomb, a very large tomb," Shrimp Dumpling says, waving his hands, seemingly describing the immense size of the tomb.

Upon hearing this, the Carp King's eyes light up.

"Do you remember where it is? How did you get out?"

Shrimp Dumpling quickly says, "Your Majesty, at that time I was startled, and I didn't dare to go in because I felt it was very dangerous there."

"So I decided to come back. I felt my way back to the wall I entered through, and somehow I came out and returned to the water vein."

"Then I immediately came back here to report to Your Majesty."

"I remember that place. I often patrol there."

Upon hearing this, the Carp King laughs heartily. "Good!"

He looks at the crab general, "Assemble the troops. All the aquatic demon soldiers will come with me, leaving only one team to guard here."

The crab general says in a low voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Carp King, with great momentum, leads at least a hundred aquatic soldiers towards the water vein discovered by Shrimp Dumpling.

But he did not notice a shadow paper man hiding in the shadows of the general's mansion, quietly watching them leave.

"The game is afoot, hehe!"
