When Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao arrived at Fire Head Hill, there were already five martial artists at the top of the hill. Each martial artist’s cultivation realm was at the Mid-stage Martial Venerate, extremely powerful. This shocked both Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao. When did the Ancient Martial World have so many martial arts experts? It seems that the Ancient Martial World on Earth is not that simple, hiding many masters who only appear when powerful inheritances are present, or significant events occur, forcing them out.

Wuji Taoist, a man in silver armor, and a man with a sword on his back, each had made their move, all were blocked by Ye Tianchen. The fourth to strike was a bald monk dressed in a ragged kasaya, with a compassionate look, but left no good impression on Ye Tianchen. He always felt that this old monk was hiding deeply, possibly the most malicious among the five.

Sure enough, despite the bald monk’s mouth speaking of compassion, his hands wielded the knife of slaughter. A massive Buddha Hand Seal pressed down on Ye Tianchen, seemingly aiming to obliterate him completely in one move, truly hypocritical. In comparison, Wuji Taoist, the man in silver armor, and the man with a sword on his back were much more straightforward.

”Master, an impressive move!” the man in silver armor said calmly.

”The Buddhist Sect’s skills are indeed profound and extensive. Just a simple Divine Art could shock this world. The master’s study of Buddhist Law is deep!” Wuji Taoist said, unclear whether it was praise or sarcasm.

”Buddha Hand Seal, originally a supreme skill of the Buddhist Sect for subduing demons, not only has a massive suppressive force but can also disrupt one’s divine mind, transforming one’s nature. Once hit, even if they’re not obliterated, they will probably convert to Buddhism!” The man with a sword on his back said, frowning at the bald monk.

”The three benefactors overpraise me. I only wish for this young benefactor to know the difficulties he faces, with no intention of harming him!” The bald monk still maintained a compassionate demeanor.

Ye Tianchen sneered inwardly, knowing this bald monk was someone who said one thing and did another, with a deeply hidden malicious heart. He chose not to expose it. After all, if he entered the Martial Saint Tomb with these five people, they would have to be on guard against each other, ready for battle at any moment, and wouldn’t rule out mutually using each other if necessary.

This was the tomb of a Peak of Late Stage Martial Saint. Who knew how many tens of thousands of years of changes it had undergone? If time could trace back to ancient or even primeval times, many unpredictable things could exist inside. Various inheritances and crises might be there. Given each of their cultivation levels, entering the Martial Saint Tomb, they might not come out alive. Cooperation was the only route at critical times, or all would perish inside.

Facing the hypocritical bald monk’s suppressing Buddha Hand Seal, Ye Tianchen’s expression was grave. This old monk’s cultivation wasn’t low, and his Buddhist techniques were formidable. Though Ye Tianchen hadn’t cultivated Divine Arts like Buddha Hand Seal, he possessed the ”Yijin Jing.” Yijin Jing, renowned as the most powerful cultivation skill throughout the ages, was also the most profound spell of the Buddhist Sect. Ye Tianchen remembered a note in the Yijin Jing about Buddha Hand Seal: ”Buddhist Hand Seals shroud the heavens, subdue demons, and shake the universe!”

This one sentence was enough to showcase the power of the Buddha Hand Seal. The bald monk intended to annihilate Ye Tianchen completely. Naturally, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t sit and await his death. The golden light protecting his body had already retracted, and he suddenly launched from the ground, mobilizing the powerful Martial Arts True Power within him, and with a crack, slapped out a palm.

Instantly, numerous palms appeared in the sky, countless Martial Arts True Power bombarding the suppressing Buddha Hand Seal, startling Wuji Taoist and the others into gasping. Although they were not old, each had reached the Mid-stage Martial Venerate realm, indicative of extraordinary talent. It was also apparent that Ye Tianchen’s technique, while similar to the bald monk’s Buddha Hand Seal, was several times stronger.

Bang!

The Buddha Hand Seal shattered, and the bald monk retreated a few steps, feeling the urge to vomit blood. He was slightly injured, but his entire being was astonishingly staring at Ye Tianchen with a look that could kill, asking incredulously in a disbelieving tone, ”How...how do you know Buddhist Divine Arts?”

”There’s nothing strange about it. Do you want to try again?” Ye Tianchen, having no good impression of this old monk, coldly asked.

”Great Compassionate Thousand Leaf Hand, you actually know the supreme skill of the Buddhist Sect. I underestimated you!” The bald monk glared at Ye Tianchen angrily.

”It looks like you’re not planning to make a move anymore. May I come up now? Later, when the Martial Saint Tomb opens, I just want to take a look inside.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen didn’t linger. The Fire Head Hill was already trembling constantly, and it seemed the Martial Saint Tomb might open in about an hour. If he didn’t rush up and secure a good position, he might fall behind. Regarding everything inside the Martial Saint Tomb, Ye Tianchen was also very curious. Having arrived here, he wouldn’t be content without getting a look inside.

”Boss, be careful. None of these five people are good characters. Let me go in with you, so we can look out for each other!” Hu Gao saw Ye Tianchen was about to fly up and immediately transmitted with Divine Thought.

”No, you stay outside. It’s too dangerous inside, and these five are not benevolent.” Ye Tianchen transmitted back to Hu Gao with Divine Thought.

”Big brother...” Hu Gao still wanted to go in together.

”Listen to me, you stay outside, so we can help each other. I don’t know about the other four people, but Wuji Taoist has followers outside. When we go in, these people might take action. Only with you stopping them outside, can I make a safe retreat from inside. Rest assured, if there’s an easy opportunity, I won’t miss it!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”This... then boss, be careful.” Hu Gao thought for a moment and said.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly. He didn’t want Hu Gao to take the risk by going inside. Hu Gao’s cultivation was only at the Early-stage Martial Venerate level. Even with the Jade Rope in hand for protection, he might not escape the lethal moves of the other five people. Additionally, the Martial Saint Tomb was filled with too many unknown dangers. There was no need for Hu Gao to take the risk with him.

Swoosh!

Just as Ye Tianchen was preparing to rush to the highest point of Fire Head Hill to secure a position, a golden light attacked. Ye Tianchen quickly dodged, almost getting hit. He frowned as he looked up, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old child holding a Golden Mace, looking coldly at Ye Tianchen and saying, ”You want to come up here and take a position, haven’t you asked if I agree?”

”Hey kiddo, all your uncles and aunts have lost; aren’t you afraid of getting spanked by stepping up like this? I think you better come down and let Uncle Hu Gao play with you!” Hu Gao teased with a smile when he saw it was a child around eleven or twelve years old.

Boom!

The Golden Mace crashed down towards Hu Gao, startling him. He quickly deployed the Jade Rope to block it. A loud bang ensued, and although the Jade Rope blocked the might of the Golden Mace, Hu Gao was nearly forced to his knees. He was profoundly shocked, not expecting this seemingly eleven or twelve-year-old boy to have such formidable power, one that even he, Hu Gao, could not contend with.

”Insolent words, those who dare speak like that to me, the Golden Elder, must die!”

The child, who appeared to be eleven or twelve, spoke with an ancient, mature voice, causing chills down one’s spine. Ye Tianchen was also surprised. This person who called himself the Golden Elder seemed to have lived for many years. Judging by his voice, he must be nearing a hundred years old, yet his appearance remained childlike. What kind of divine skill had he cultivated to achieve such a state?

Bam!

Ye Tianchen threw a punch, blocking the Golden Elder’s Golden Mace, smiling as he said, ”Keep letting me take your divine arts, I am determined to enter this Martial Saint Tomb!”

”Young man, though you have some strength, you are too arrogant. I, the Golden Elder, have lived nearly a hundred years, always cultivating in the Ancient Martial World and rarely making appearances. No wonder many young successors have forgotten me and my fame!” The Golden Elder looked coldly at Ye Tianchen and said.

”You are the Golden Elder?”

”The one rumored to have cultivated the Infant Heavenly Skill?”

”Weren’t you supposed to be dead by now? How come...”

The Wuji Taoist, the sword-bearing burly man, the man in the silver armor, and the deeply hidden Bald Monk, all looked astonished, incredulously watching the Golden Elder. It seemed they did not expect that this child, only appearing to be eleven or twelve, was the same infamous person whose renown echoed through the Ancient Martial World years ago for cultivating the Infant Heavenly Skill.

”Infant Heavenly Skill? You are that demon from back then...” Hu Gao shouted fiercely, glaring at the Golden Elder.

”What? You know me?” The Golden Elder was also startled, looking at Hu Gao and asking.

”More than just knowing, I have a deep impression of you, so deep that I want to kill you!” Hu Gao clenched his fists tightly, with an impulse to charge up and perish together with this Golden Elder.

”You know me?” The Golden Elder frowned and asked.

”Perhaps you don’t remember, but I recall clearly. Back then, you wanted to devour my flesh and blood, chasing after me and my father. My father self-immolated to unleash his final strike to block you, allowing me to escape. If my grandfather hadn’t arrived, I might not be alive today...” Hu Gao seemed to remember past events, his whole body trembling with anger as he looked at the Golden Elder. (To be continued.
