That was the place where Gu Yun cultivated and lived. It was not strange for there to be remnants of extraordinary aura.
This Chongyang Palace was built for him by his disciples after Wang Chongyang died. Therefore, if he could not sense the supernatural aura here, it did not mean that Wang Chongyang had never entered the supernatural state.
In that case, perhaps the Ancestral Master’s tomb was the place he should really go. This thought made Su Yun’s eyes light up. Then, he immediately nodded and followed Xu Jiajia towards the Ancestral Master’s tomb.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Ancestral Master Chongyang’s tomb. A tombstone was erected there, but Su Yun was soon disappointed again. Here, he still did not sense any residue of the supernatural aura. It was as if everything was telling Su Yun that his thoughts had been wrong from the beginning.
As a result, an hour later, Su Yun accompanied Xu Jiajia to tour the entire Chongyang Palace. When he left, he was still a little depressed. There was still a sacrificial ceremony held outside the mountain gate, but at that moment, the conversation between the two Daoist masters attracted Su Yun’s attention.
“After the ceremony in the Chongyang Palace, we have to hurry to the graveyard. The memorial ceremony for the Ancestral Master can’t be taken lightly.”
Su Yun suddenly stopped in his tracks in puzzlement. He looked at the Daoist priest who had spoken and said, “Daoist Priest, isn’t this a temporary palace established by the Seven Scions of Quanzhen for the Ancestral Master, Wang Chongyang? Why do you have to visit the Tomb of the Living Dead just to pay respects to the Ancestral Master?”
As Su Yun was wearing a hat and had lowered the brim, the Daoist priest did not recognize him when he looked at Su Yun. “You’re a devotee who’s here to travel, right? Then you’ve come at the right time. Although this Chongyang Palace was a palace established by the Seven Scions of Quanzhen for the Ancestral Master, it actually had nothing to do with the Ancestral Master.
“You should have also gone to see the ancestral tomb, right? In fact, there were no bones of the Ancestral Master in the tomb. This place had also been constantly destroyed during the war. Although it had been repaired in imitation of ancient times, very few things were the same as before.
“The Tomb of the Living Dead was completely different. Even during the chaotic years, it had never been destroyed. More importantly, that was once the place where the Ancestral Master was enlightened. In the Daoist culture, the status of the Tomb of the Living Dead was far higher than this Chongyang Palace.
“The Quanzhen Sect was comprehended from the Tomb of the Living Dead. That’s the real place to worship.”
The Daoist priest hurriedly picked up a bundle of incense and got busy. He did not recognize Su Yun, nor did he know that the person who had just spoken to him was a famous Master of All Spells on the Internet over the years.
However, the Daoist priest’s words enlightened Su Yun. He finally knew where the abnormality came from.
This Chongyang Palace was only a place where his disciples built for his master to let descendants worship him. However, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with Wang Chongyang anymore.
This was once the place where Wang Chongyang had lived, but Wang Chongyang had not focused on comprehending the Dao at that time, so it was even more impossible for there to be any residue of supernatural aura.
The place he should really go was the Cheng Dao Palace 2,000 meters away from the Chongyang Palace. Only there might he discover something.
After making up his mind, Su Yun quickly left with Xu Jiajia. Xu Jiajia had already booked a car and was about to return to the hotel, but when she got into the car, Su Yun suddenly said, “Change your destination and send us to the Cheng Dao Palace!”
“Alright!”
The driver naturally had no objections to this. After all, this new destination was several times more expensive than the previous one. However, Xu Jiajia was a little puzzled about this. Su Yun had always been a very planning person. Hence, this sudden change made Xu Jiajia unable to help but ask, “Su Yun, why did you suddenly think of going to the Cheng Dao Palace? Is there anything different from here?”
Su Yun nodded thoughtfully. “Of course it will be different, but we won’t know the exact situation until we get there.”
Looking at the scenery outside the car window that kept sliding past him, Su Yun kept thinking. Su Yun could not be sure if there were any supernatural auras left in the Tomb of the Living Dead in the Cheng Dao Palace. But he did not want to give up easily after coming all the way to this city.
Along the way, the driver chatted with Xu Jiajia. As a local, he knew a lot about the history of the Tomb of the Living Dead.

“This Chongyang Palace is actually meaningless. If you want to go, you have to go to the Cheng Dao Palace. Wang Chongyang was 49 years old then. After the rebel against the Jins failed, he dug up the underground cave residence in Nanshi Village. It extends a few feet underground. When you go there, you’ll know how spectacular it is.”
Su Yun did not take the driver’s words to heart. He kept thinking in his heart. During this period of time, he had been searching for information about Wang Chongyang’s history online. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this tomb was the place he had to go.
Not long after, the car stopped by the roadside. Su Yun anxiously pulled Xu Jiajia towards the palace.
The Tomb of the Living Dead was also a very famous attraction here. Until now, it still maintained its original appearance. There was also a sign hanging at the entrance of the Tomb of the Living Dead deep underground. On it was the memorial tablet of Wang Haifeng.
This was the memorial tablet Wang Chongyang had set up for his mortal body back then. He also hoped to use it to cut ties with his past self.
