Chapter 11

Don’t blame this emperor for giving you a shovel. In fact, as a Martial Embryo, its potential is limitless.

Even at its initial stage, it can rival a level ten Martial Embryo. Most importantly, this Martial Embryo is different from others in that its grade is not fixed—it evolves rapidly as your cultivation realm improves.

Ordinary martial artists’ inherited Martial Embryos can also evolve, but only slowly, and only after breaking through a major realm.

“Struck gold.” Evan Bennett’s first thought upon seeing this was exactly that.

After all, his father Eric Bennett was also a prodigy in his day. As one of the few in Yan Kingdom to possess an eighth-level Martial Embryo, there were fewer than ten people in the entire kingdom with such talent.

His father’s cultivation also advanced at a shocking pace. By the age of thirty-seven or thirty-eight, he had already stepped into the ranks of ‘Qi Manifestation Early Stage’ experts.

You should know, the Yan Kingdom’s royal family’s number one expert, his own great-grandfather Seal of Bennett Kingdom, even at over a hundred years old, had only cultivated to the ‘Qi Manifestation Middle Stage’. He was currently in seclusion, striving to break through to the ‘Qi Manifestation Late Stage’.

This was because, although Seal of Bennett Kingdom was also exceptionally gifted, his foundation was not as strong as his father’s—he only possessed a seventh-level Martial Embryo.

With a weak foundation, later development naturally slows down. Otherwise, Seal of Bennett Kingdom would probably have already broken through the ‘Qi Manifestation Realm’ and entered the legendary ‘Transcendence Realm’.

The ‘Transcendence Realm’ is also known as the Earthly Immortal stage, where one first breaks free from the shackles of the human body and becomes a martial expert capable of low-altitude flight.

And the inherited ‘Spacetime Shovel Martial Embryo’ I obtained is already a level ten Martial Embryo at its initial stage. In the entire Yan Kingdom, no more than five people possess such peerless talent.

Starting at such a high level foretells truly extraordinary future achievements.

“Damn! Is this so-called Tomb Emperor trying to fool this prince?” Evan Bennett started to feel anxious, frowning and sighing by turns.

Who knows if this guy is telling the truth. However, the next line that appeared was full of warning:

Once you have received this emperor’s inheritance, you can never betray your master for life. Moreover, once you enter the Tomb Emperor’s space, the Tomb God’s Secret Art, refined exclusively by this emperor’s secret recipe, has already been planted in your body. Because this emperor despises traitors above all, and will destroy them without mercy. If you continue to cultivate this emperor’s tome, the Tomb God’s Secret Art will aid you, and you will benefit. Otherwise—death!

Damn! I’ve boarded a pirate ship! This is basically forced cultivation.

Evan Bennett gave a bitter laugh in his heart. Reading further, it was all about methods for robbing the graves of martial artists below the Innate Realm, introductions to types of tombs, their specifications, varieties, and so on.

Sigh...

Who would have thought that I, a dignified prince, would fall so low as to become a shameful grave robber, not even ranked among the three religions and nine schools...

Evan Bennett shook his head in utter speechlessness.

Reading on, he suddenly felt dizzy, almost spitting blood and fainting.

The Tomb Emperor’s Tome is only an auxiliary cultivation method, not an orthodox one. Therefore, it cannot be used as your main cultivation technique.

If you want cultivation methods, martial skills, or weapons, just keep digging graves. Use the cultivation methods you obtain from tomb chambers as your foundation, because the techniques stored in tombs have accumulated over many years, imbued with tomb qi and the fate carried by the deceased in life.

Tomb qi is the source energy that fuses all kinds of cultivation methods and techniques.

Chapter 7: The First Tomb

The most miraculous aspect of this tome is its ability to continuously fuse the martial cultivation methods and martial skills you acquire—generally speaking, cultivating multiple techniques at once leads to conflict. But with this tome, all those conflicting factors are dissolved, allowing all kinds of techniques to merge and evolve.

And as you keep digging graves, the techniques and martial skills you obtain will surely become more advanced. Don’t worry—with this tome, devour, fuse, evolve. Make them stronger.

Want cultivation methods? Go dig graves!

Want martial skills? Go dig graves!

Want pills? Go dig graves!

Want beauties? Go dig graves!

Want power and longevity? Still, go dig graves!

...

With tombs as your foundation, a glorious life and the throne of the Heavenly Emperor await you, starting from the very first shovel breaking ground.

“Good! With tombs as my foundation, let’s see what kind of tomb you can break open now!” Evan Bennett shouted, channeling his spiritual power, reaching out to grab the so-called spacetime shovel, which boasted a level ten Martial Embryo talent, double stacking, and a grade-one artifact level.

Immediately, the shovel trembled, and a wisp of purple energy flashed by like silk.

At once, a line of text appeared on the spacetime shovel: Owner value—level ten Martial Embryo talent, first stage martial cultivation, dual dantian, strength of one horse, power reaching six hundred jin. When using this shovel, power is doubled, allowing you to excavate the tombs of martial artists at or below the seventh stage of martial cultivation.

However, another line of text appeared below, so smug it nearly made our Eighth Prince faint and spit blood again: You’re too weak, making this divine shovel lose face. In half a year, if you can’t reach the fifth stage of martial cultivation, this divine shovel will refuse to provide you any further service, ok! Prince, you’re on your own.

“Damn it, even a lousy shovel is bullying this prince. Damn, damn, damn! Off to dig graves!”
