Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Shua!

The system store’s interface listed out an entire collection of extremely impressive and heaven defying items!

However, the first step was listed as such, "Since the system is being restricted by the protective spells within the Imperial Tombs, the host is recommended to upgrade the system to the latest version, 3.0!"

Xu Que was obviously not pleased by this recommendation. This was merely just robbing from empty tombs and you have to request to be upgraded. Didn’t you just receive an upgrade recently? Although the upgrades had always been free, it costs 5,000 act tough points this time! Are you trying to trick me again? Tell me, are you trying to scam me?

He glanced at the amount of act tough points which he had accumulated with much difficulty and felt a sharp pain in his chest at the thought of having to give up these points. In order to upgrade the system to the latest version, he had to part with half of his act tough points and would probably still need to purchase other items and skills.

For example, after the system was upgraded, there was a section which said "Specialized Knowledge". This meant that Xu Que could purchase the information or memories related to a particular place or person and pass them onto himself permanently.

As soon as Xu Que looked at this, he knew that he had to purchase it. This was because it was going to be extremely useful for plundering the tombs.

[Specialized Knowledge from Zhang Qi Ling]

Zhang Qi Ling, also known as Oil Bottle was the main character of"Grave Robbers’ Chronicles". The host can purchase his specialized knowledge and acquire the useful skill of plundering the tombs for 100 years. You shall also be granted extreme skill and precision in wielding daggers!

Cost: 2000 act tough points.

[Specialized Knowledge from Hu Bai Yi]

Hu Bai Yi, from"Ghost Blows Out The Light". The host can purchase his specialized knowledge and gain the skill "Sixteen Secrets of Yin Yang" and locate anything within the tombs which you desire effectively and easily!

Cost: 2000 act tough points.

[Specialized Knowledge from Zhang Jian Shan]

Zhang Jian Shan, also known as Great Axe who came from the prestigious house of Zhang from the Grave Robbing Chronicles and is a distant relative of Zhang Qi Lin. The host can purchase his specialized knowledge and be familiar with many different types of grave robbing techniques.

Cost: 1200 act tough points!

[Specialized Knowledge from Er Yue Hong]

Er Yue Hong, also known as Second Master, who also came from Grave Robbing Chronicles. Host can purchase his specialized knowledge and be familiar with ways of gaining entry into all different types of tombs!

Cost: 1300 act tough points!

An entire file of such skills and knowledge were listed out, causing Xu Que to feel slightly disoriented as he watched on with gaping mouth and wide eyes!

Most of these came from the Grave Robbing Chronicles and were the experiences and knowledge from the main characters. This was too awesome!

Of course, Xu Que could purchase these knowledge and experience without upgrading the system at all. However, this Imperial Tombs were fortified with strange and powerful spells around it. This meant that Xu Que had to work his way around the tombs in order to gain access to the center of it. One of these steps included having to dig underground into the tomb.

Hence, there was no other choice. He had to buy these memories and upgrade the system as well.

Everything which he had done up to this point was so that he could revive Xiao Rou. Xu Que also still had the deeply ingrained hatred for the Fire Emperor and was taking steps to exact his revenge. Without blowing up the entire Imperial Tombs, it would be near impossible to kill the Fire Emperor!

Hence, Xu Que had no choice but to be slightly extravagant and spend these act tough points. Feeling a bit like a tycoon, he spent 5,000 act tough points upgrading the system. In doing so, he had opened up an entire new branch of items within the store.

At the same time, he spent another 4,000 act tough points in purchasing Zhang Qi Ling and Hu Bai Yi’s knowledge and experience!

The reason for this was rather obvious. When it came to successfully gaining entry into tombs, Zhang Qi Ling was the best in this line and was even stronger than Er Yue Hong.

Along with Hu Ba Yi’s special skills of locating items and landmarks within the tombs, he would be able to determine the precise location of the Dragon Veins- the source of the Imperial Qi.

The combination of these two person’s knowledge would certainly ensure that Xu Que would be the most powerful grave robber in history. He could then overcome the Fire Emperor and the world!

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully purchasing Zhang Qi Ling’s Knowledge. The cost is 2,000 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully purchasing Hu Bai Yi’s Knowledge. The cost is 2,000 act tough points!"

"Ding! An additional 5,000 act tough points have been deducted to upgrade the system to its latest version, 3.0. Estimated time required is one hour!"

In just a breath, Xu Que had spent 9,000 act tough points. He had spent everything he had accumulated from the time with the demonic humans up to when he left the Imperial City.

A pair of knowledge and experiences appeared within his mind and infused with his body. It was almost as if he had known all these information in his entire life!

At this point, he felt rather carefree.

Xu Que looked at the amount of act tough points remaining- 1,800, and exhaled deeply. "My acting tough career is far from over. I have to work hard!"

While waiting for the system to complete its upgrade, Xu Que started walking towards the eastern side of the tombs.

He was very familiar with this area. Young Xu Que had been to this place several times before. However, he had never been able to gain entry.

The Imperial Tombs was surrounded by desolate wastelands. There was nobody guarding this area as well.

There was no need for guards, since nobody dared to come near. If someone were to accidentally step within the spell domains, he would most certainly be killed!

The original owner of these memories, younger Xu Que, had been here when he was a child but didn’t dare to go near as well. After so many years, he realized that not much had changed.

There’s still the wild and mountainous areas with a large entrance before the tomb. White rays of energy surrounded the entire place and was protected with ancient spells!

The spells weren’t very difficult to pass through for Xu Que. What was difficult for him was finding a precise location to get through.

Hence at this point, Hu Bai Yi’s Sixteen Secrets of Yin Yang would prove useful in locating the best point of entry.

Xu Que walked as he scrutinized the surroundings, his expression was one of deep thought.

Right at this point, not far away from the front of the Tombs, was a flat piece of open land.

Several cultivators were dressed in daoists robes.

Among them, the oldest looking man was of the highest cultivation level. He was of the Original Infant Stage, level nine. There were several young men and women around him and were all daoists as well. They were of the Core Bearing Stage and it seemed like they were being brought out by the elder to train.

As Xu Que inched nearer, he could hear them speaking.

"Our Moving Mountains Sects don’t practice fighting or alchemy because we’re not meant to fight with others. What we’ve passed down for many generations, is a skill that all of you must master. Many cultivators would request for us to provide geomancy knowledge with regards to their tombs and we must be proficient in this skill!" The Elder touched his chin and regarded the few young disciples before him. Their faces were filled with pride and delight as they listened eagerly.

"Disciple understands the teachings of master!" The few young daoists bowed deeply and reverently.

The old man then continued speaking, "We study the art of geomancy so that we can locate the treasures within the tombs. In this regard, the Moving Mountains Sect is the best in the world. Of course, several small time grave robbers would boast that they’re equally good as us. However, I can say with certainty that whatever they’ve learnt is rubbish and insignificant. We can even say that they have no skills or techniques to speak of as they solely rely on their cultivation powers and spells to force their way into the tombs."

"Master, if we’re not using our cultivation powers to enter the tombs, how should we do it then?" A disciple asked.

"Haha! Only Moving Mountains Sect disciples are able to do this without using any cultivation powers. There are several tombs that one must never enter regardless of how skilled or powerful a person is. For example, this large tomb here is the Fire Nation’s Imperial Tombs. The reason I’ve brought you here today is to see for yourself the powerful and mysterious tombs of the imperial family."

As the old man spoke, he pointed to the tombs behind him which resided atop a mountain, "The surroundings of the Imperial Tombs are protected by powerful ancient spells which would restrict a person’s cultivation abilities. At the same time, these spells would protect the integrity of the tombs. No matter what spell was used, nobody would be able to break through the protective spells. It can be said that it’s impregnable."

"If we were to measure the power of the spells, it would be tougher and stronger than the biggest mountain. You probably have to dig for seven consecutive days and night before you can even get through. But in seven days, you would have long been discovered and thus it would be impossible!"

The old man shook his head and sighed regretfully, "Ai, in order to build such a powerful fortress would mean the person responsible has such a powerful force."

Right at this point, Xu Que walked past the entire group of them.

Of course, he had heard every word of what the old man had said. Everything about not being able to use any cultivation powers and could only rely on a person’s physical strength was real. This was something even the system was unable to solve.

Hence, the reason the system was upgraded was so that he could purchase other means to gain entry.

"Ai, my friend, what are you doing? You cannot be around here running around just like that!" At this point, the old man realized Xu Que’s presence and hurriedly shouted out to stop him.

Xu Que waved his hands and spoke out, "I’ve come to rob this tomb. All of you bystanders should move to the side."
