Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi followed the traces of the cultivators and sped along.
After walking for about half a day, they saw a huge building in the sky ahead.
This should be a palace. Although it was dilapidated, looking from afar, they could still feel its grandeur.
There were some cultivators wandering around the palace, as if they were looking for something.
Most of the cultivators had already entered the main hall.
Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi approached the palace and took a quick look, but they could not see anything special about it.
The two of them did not waste time outside and entered the palace.
In front of them was a huge and spacious square, paved with bluestone. There were several stone paths that separated the herb gardens.
However, there were no more immortal herbs in these herb gardens, only some withered leaves.
Even the soil in these herb gardens was corroded by the Emperor's Tomb's curse and had a strange green color.
This square was huge. Even with Su Zimo's eyesight, he could not see the boundaries of the square.
The two of them followed the stone path, passed through the herb gardens, and continued forward.
Along the way, they met some cultivators walking around the square.
"This palace is probably one of the Immortal Emperor's palaces back then. I wonder if there are any treasures?"
"There must be treasures. Unfortunately, they have been corroded by the curse for countless years and are all useless."
"I heard that the side halls on the left and right have some rare treasures, elixirs, weapons, and Dharma treasures. It's a pity that none of them are usable."
"If that's not the case, every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile in this palace would be incredible treasures."
"Anyway, we can't enter the main hall for the time being. Let's continue looking. If we're lucky and find some treasures, we'll have profited."
Su Zimo's ears twitched and vaguely heard whispers from around the square.
The cultivators outside the palace were probably trying their luck to find some treasures.
However, he did not know why they said that they could not enter the main hall for the time being.
Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi continued forward. Not long after, they finally passed through the entire square.
At the end of the square stood the main hall of the palace. Thousands of cultivators were gathered in front of the main hall. All of them were staring at the gate of the main hall. Some of them were even discussing in hushed tones.
Su Zimo and Shi Mu stepped forward to take a look. They saw that the floor of the main hall's entrance was engraved with dense and complex patterns, flickering with a faint light.
"It's a formation."
Tang Ziyi said in a low voice.
Su Zimo nodded and stared at the array in front of the main hall for a while, feeling a little dizzy.
This array was too complicated. With his attainments in array formations, he could not solve it at all.
However, at this moment, a young man was standing at the edge of the array in front of the main hall.
This person had a confident expression and was in high spirits. Sometimes he would stop and ponder, sometimes he would quicken his pace, and sometimes he would flick out strands of Origin Qi into the grand formation.
This person was the Young Duke of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, Yun Ting!
Every time Yun Ting attacked, the formation would shake slightly and the formation runes would flicker.
Furthermore, the light of this grand array was clearly gradually dimming!
Yun Ting was trying to break the formation!
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before this grand array was broken.
Su Zimo could sense that this Yun Ting was very strong.
In fact, he could even smell a trace of danger from this person!
Even if this person had a noble status and unlimited resources, cultivating to the ninth level of the Mystic Essence Realm at the age of 200 was truly terrifying.
What was even more terrifying was that this person's attainments in array formations were so profound as well.
One had to know that there was a limit to a person's strength. Even if one were to cultivate diligently for more than 200 years, they might not be able to reach the ninth level of the Mystic Essence Realm. Furthermore, this person had to split his attention to cultivate the Dao of Array Formations.
"Why must we go through the entrance of the main hall? Is there no other entrance? This main hall is dilapidated and on the verge of collapse. I'm afraid it can't even withstand a single punch from me! "
A cultivator in the crowd muttered.
"Fufu."
A scoff sounded from the side. "You can go ahead and give it a try. The main hall is surrounded by restrictions. You'll definitely die if you barge in!"
"Do you see those corpses? That's the outcome."
Instantly, the person who spoke first withered and did not dare to make a sound.
"Breaking formations takes a huge toll on one's Essence Spirit. That Royal King sure is bold. He's not afraid of being exhausted and encountering danger."
"What's his status? Almost everyone in the emperor's tomb is of lowly status. Who would dare to fight him?"
"Furthermore, even if his Essence Spirit is exhausted, he should be able to dominate all those of the same cultivation realm and be invincible!"
In the crowd, Fang Xuan watched everything coldly and curled his lips slightly. "That person is young after all. He's way too conceited and doesn't know how to restrain himself."
Su Zimo watched for a moment before leaving the crowd.
"Where are you going?"
Tang Ziyi asked.
Su Zimo replied, "This formation is hard to break in a short period of time. I intend to check out the side halls on both sides."
"I'm not going,"
Tang Ziyi did not move. She wanted to charge into the main hall the moment the formation was broken so that she could gain the upper hand.
Su Zimo nodded and turned to head towards the side hall.
There were no restrictions on this side hall and the door was wide open. It was a mess inside – it was clear that many cultivators had ransacked it.
Initially, there were many divine weapons and Dharma treasures placed in this side hall.
Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, bells, tripods, cauldrons, mirrors … there were ordinary weapons and exotic Dharma treasures – everything was there.
However, at that moment, most of the divine weapons and Dharma treasures were scattered all over the ground.
To be precise, those were no longer divine weapons and Dharma treasures.
Under the corrosion of the curse of the emperor's tomb, those divine weapons and Dharma treasures had long been reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
In fact, those divine weapons and Dharma treasures were not of high grades to begin with – at the very least, they were not at the level of spirit channeling Dharma treasures.
That was because the Hell Suppressing Cauldron was still refining the molten metal in the cauldron without any activity.
There were still some cultivators loitering in this side hall, looking for treasures that were left behind.
Some of the cultivators even fought one another because of a broken sword.
Su Zimo searched carefully and found nothing. He then walked towards the side hall on the opposite side.
While the side hall earlier on stored divine weapons and Dharma treasures, this side hall originally stored elixirs and miraculous medicines.
The medicine cabinets in the side hall were all over the ground and the bottles and jars on them were scattered all over the ground as well.
The stoppers of many of the medicine bottles were pulled open and the elixirs within rolled out.
Su Zimo picked up a random elixir and twisted it gently with his finger, turning it into ashes.
After countless years, the medicinal power and spirit qi within had long dissipated.
Even if there were elixirs that were perfectly preserved, they would be tainted with the curse of the emperor's tomb. If they were swallowed, it would be no different from suicide.
Su Zimo circled around the side hall. After finding nothing, he prepared to leave.
Just as he passed by a dilapidated wall, the Hell Suppressing Cauldron vibrated!
