Chapter 855

After leaving Shapeshifter's Burial Ground, Melissa also chose to leave. Gu Ding and the others did not ask her to stay. They knew that Melissa had her own reasons for entering the Burial Ground, and there was no need to ask about it.

Not long after Melissa left, Gu Ding, Biggie, and Mi Coco all chose to enter the Cultivation Tower for closed-door training.

Meanwhile, Neptune chose to gather information in the ruins.

Gu Ding left the big guy Opatu by Neptune's side as a guard.

Back in the Cultivation Tower, Gu Ding chose to strengthen his body and soul. Previously, the strengthening of his cultivation level had increased his combat effectiveness, but his body and soul had not been affected much. A weak body and soul would drag down his combat effectiveness, and this was something he did not want to see.

Biggie, on the other hand, chose to continue improving his cultivation level because from other aspects, his combat effectiveness had increased to the limit. If he wanted to continue improving, the easiest way was to improve his cultivation level.

As for Mi Coco, he knew very well that his combat effectiveness was not on the same level as Gu Ding and the others. He could not help in the previous battle, and this made him determined to improve his combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, Neptune followed Gu Ding's instructions and informed the rest of the crew about the results of the first Burial Ground exploration, as well as the information obtained from Shapeshifter.

"Can that Shapeshifter's words be trusted?"

Liliath was the first to question when she received Neptune's message.

"Opatu has confirmed the information given by Shapeshifter. Gu Ding branded him with a Dead Spirit Imprint, so there's no way he can deceive Gu Ding," Neptune replied.

"Captain and Biggie's combat effectiveness has now reached tenth-rank?" Dockett cried out in disbelief.

"That's right, not just tenth-rank. Both of them are now lower-rank tenth-rank combat effectiveness." Neptune nodded. "However, even with such combat effectiveness, according to what Shapeshifter said, only death awaits them if they encounter Heinoas. If the rest of us want to follow Gu Ding and Biggie to explore the Burial Ground, our combat effectiveness is far from enough. "

"Is there a huge difference in combat effectiveness between a perfect tenth-rank and a lower-rank tenth-rank?" Phaser asked.

"There's a huge difference in combat effectiveness. Every tenth-rank combat effectiveness rank is equivalent to the difference in combat effectiveness of a sequence. Perfect tenth-rank is the seventh combat effectiveness rank, while lower-rank tenth-rank is only the second combat effectiveness rank. Just in terms of basic combat strength, there was a difference of five Sequence levels. Moreover, Heinoas's cultivation base had reached Great Perfection of tenth-rank. His combat strength was even more powerful, and he should be extremely close to lord-level. Also, according to the information provided by Shapeshifter, it's very likely that he died on the way to becoming an Overgod. We can't rule out the possibility that he's an existence that has come into contact with the laws … "

"If he really touches the threshold of the rules, no matter how much we increase our combat strength, it will be useless. There will only be one outcome, and that is — — total annihilation! Moreover, Gu Ding's Absolute Seal Divine Power will not work on powerhouses who have touched the rules. "

Neptune's explanation silenced Lilliath and the others who were in the group chat.

"Then what should we do now?" Huck, who was the calmest of them all, was the first to react.

"During this period of time, try your best to accumulate all kinds of cultivation resources. Don't take the risk to touch any of the burial grounds surrounded by fog for the sake of increasing your combat strength. Everything else was carried out according to the original plan, gathering at the original time and place. After we gather, I suggest that we all go into seclusion to raise our cultivation and combat strength. Then, we'll go into the other burial grounds together to look for the keys. "

"Neptune, since Heinoas is such a dangerous guy, why should we collect the keys to enter his burial ground?" Lilliath raised such a question.

"For now, it's really not necessary, even if his burial ground really has endless wealth. Although this wealth is very attractive, it's not a necessity for us, "Neptune nodded. "However, it's a little too early to talk about this now. There are still more than five months left, and no one knows what will happen. Don't think too much about it. Collect resources as soon as possible and increase your combat strength. That's what you should be doing now. "

"During this period of time, I'll guide you to the most efficient collection of resources. Apart from that, I have another task of my own — data and information collection. If there's anything you need from me and I don't get back to you in time, it could be a problem with the network, or it could be that I'm busy with other things. When the time comes, you can leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. "

After Neptune finished speaking, he did not waste time chatting with the others and immediately exited the call.

He glanced in one direction and then sped all the way there.

In less than half an hour, a woman appeared in Neptune's line of sight. It was Melissa. She was sitting on a boulder with one leg hanging on the edge of the boulder. Then, she waved at Neptune.

Neptune jumped onto the boulder and sat cross-legged on the side.

"Are you looking for me?" Melissa looked at Neptune with the corner of her mouth slightly raised.

"Our previous conversation isn't over yet, is it?" Neptune asked. "At that time, Gu Ding and the others were waiting not far away. It was a little rushed, so I just confirmed your identity and didn't ask anything else. In fact, I still have a lot of questions in my mind. "

"Sure, but I also have some questions that I hope you can answer," Melissa said straightforwardly.

"Deal! Then I'll ask about this ruin first. "Neptune nodded." How much do you know about this ruin? "

"This ruin was formed from a corner of the collapse of the main plane. It has been connected to this basic plane since ancient times. During the Middle Ages, it was discovered by Heinoas. Then, he and another formation master transformed it into his burial ground. He started preparing his burial ground when he was a Small Perfection tenth-rank powerhouse. He suppressed and subdued powerhouses, including the Nightmare Ghost, to help him guard the key. As for this fog, it was gathered by the powerhouse who helped Heinoas design and create the burial ground using special means.

"After that, no one knows what happened to Heinoas. I only know that he fell. His body was carried back and buried in this ruin that he had arranged beforehand. After Heinoas was buried, this ruin was almost always in a closed state. Occasionally, someone would get the key and break in, but they either died in the ruin or used the key to escape. Basically, they didn't find much. Even if someone died in this ruin, the key did not disappear because of it. Instead, it would reappear in the basic plane where we are at after a certain period of time. "

"If that's the case, the key to this ruin appearing in the basic plane where we are at should be Heinoas's doing. He hoped that someone would come into this ruin and open his burial ground! "Neptune came to this conclusion.

"I think the same as you." Melissa nodded.

"You mentioned earlier that we can use the key to open the ruin to escape before the opening period ends?" Neptune continued to ask.

"It was possible before, but not anymore. That's because I realized that when Gu Ding obtained the key to the burial ground, the key that was used to open the ruin disappeared. "Melissa shook her head and explained.

"If we don't collect the rest of the keys and wait until the ruin opens again, what will happen?" Neptune knew that Melissa might not be able to give him an answer.

"It's not that simple. Even if you don't collect them, others will. As long as someone breaks through a burial ground and obtains the key, they will know the whole thing. Almost no one can resist the temptation of Heinoas's treasure. "Melissa shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"If they know Heinoas's true strength, they probably won't open Heinoas's burial ground, right?" Neptune frowned slightly and asked.

"You still don't understand the deep-rooted bad habits of all kinds of intelligent life forms. Even if you reveal the news of Heinoas's true strength, most people will think that you're lying. They won't believe you if they don't experience it for themselves. "

"Moreover, from what I know, Heinoas is quite a cunning fellow. In order to let people open his burial ground, he must have made follow-up arrangements … "Melissa said and could not help but let out a long sigh.
