Seeing those murals, Jun Wu Xie understood even better what kind of a position the Dark Emperor held in the hearts of the people from the Dark Regions. He could no longer be considered as a ruler. In the hearts of the people from the Dark Regions, he was more like a god. They revered him, worshipped him, revered him, and in their eyes, the Dark Emperor was an omnipotent god.
In the murals, besides the Dark Emperor who always stood at the pinnacle of the crowd, the other people on the murals all seemed so lowly, so pious.
Jun Wu Xie could not help but think of some of the disciples she had met in her past life who were so pious that they were frighteningly pious. They were willing to sacrifice everything to the god in their hearts. But a pity that Jun Wu Xie had never believed in any kind of creed and she did not feel much about it.
She did not believe in any of that, but she respected the beliefs of those people.
The Dark Emperor's tomb was extremely large and only when one was within it could one feel its immensity. Jun Wu Xie walked for half an hour and she had only just finished one corridor. Before her was another endless walkway and under the dim firelight, the walkway seemed to go on endlessly. It looked just like a circular corridor and she did not know where she had to go before she would be able to find the exit. Jun Wu Xie noticed that on both sides of the corridor, against the walls, were neatly placed purple coloured pearls supported by a claw. Those pearls looked extremely beautiful and every single one of them was about the size of a ping pong ball. They were embedded into the claw shaped grooves, reflecting a faint glow under the firelight.
They were not pearls, nor were they precious gems. It was hard to tell what they were.
Those two neat rows of pearls stuck closely to the wall and every single purple coloured pearl was exactly the same size. Along the entire corridor, there were at least several thousand of them. Regardless of what those pearls were, just the extravagance of such a display was enough to make one's jaw drop.
The Dark Emperor had once plundered all the treasures in the Middle Realm and after his death, his followers had buried all the treasures he had found in his tomb, not leaving a single one behind. At first glance, the inside of the Dark Emperor's tomb did not seem to be particularly extravagant. But looking around, one would realize that in any corner of the place, there might be treasures of unimaginable value hidden within.
Gold and silver were no longer considered good things here. Black gold and silver, which were even more valuable than gold and silver, were scattered everywhere, becoming decorations. Fan Zhuo had once said that the value of black silver was many times higher than gold.
That piece of rock that Jun Xie had won with several hundred thousand taels, had been able to extract just a tiny bit of Black Silver from it. But in the Dark Emperor's tomb, even the claw shaped base of the walls was made from Black Silver, and the value of just a single base would be no less than a million taels.
And throughout the entire Dark Emperor's tomb, there would be several tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of such foundations forged from Black Silver.
The Demonic Emperor's wealth was something no ordinary person could imagine.
According to her calculations, Jun Wu Xie estimated that she was at the outermost perimeter of the Dark Emperor's tomb, which was also the most remote place. But even so, what she saw had already shocked her greatly.
"No wonder the people of the Middle Realm are so passionate about the Dark Emperor's tomb." Jun Wu Xie swept her eyes over everything she passed by. The value of an inch of land was enough to feed a family for a lifetime.
In order to become a hegemon of a region, power was an indispensable part, but at the same time, wealth was also indispensable.
Not to mention just how many magical artifacts there were in the Dark Emperor's tomb that would make people drool, just the amount of wealth alone would make people feel uneasy and restless.
