"The tombs of ancient emperors must be guarded against grave robbers."
"The reason I didn't encounter them before was probably because I directly transmigrated into the interior of the tomb, ignoring the outer layer of traps and arriving at the central area where the burial objects are."
Li Li had been very careful. He had opened the tombs just now, throwing in all sorts of things to probe.
He had worked hard in society for many years.
As someone who ran karaoke and bars, he had naturally come into contact with people from all walks of life. Even before he had come ashore, he had been involved in all walks of life and had seen many cold knives.
"Fortunately, Ji Shang's era was still very primitive. There were no modern chemical traps to prevent grave robbers. At most, there were sneak attacks." He carefully pushed open the door.
What entered his eyes was a huge palace. The first thing he saw was a stone statue of Moon God Ji. The carvings were very exquisite. Behind the statue was a full moon, and below it was a youth kneeling on one knee. It was Ji Shang.
Divine authority.
The meaning of this statue was very clear.
Even after the passage of time and even covered in dust, one could still see the lifelike features on the statue's face.
"Moon God, Ji … The ancient god who sent me here might be him …" He pursed his lips.
The entire wall carved with gold was extremely luxurious.
In the distance, there was a wine pool and a forest of meat. Countless fine wines and delicacies were frozen, as beautiful as ice sculptures. It seemed like he had found the right place. The tomb contained all the burial objects — troops, fine wines, and treasures.
"There are no traps in the main tomb either?"
He took a deep breath. His old body crawled on the ground, touching every corner as he advanced, preventing any traps from being triggered by stepping on them.
"Looks like I directly crossed the outer layer of the traps and didn't set up any defenses in the core area?
After all, Ji Shang was an Emperor throughout the ages. He had unified the various countries of the Central Province and swept through the plains. He had even almost conquered half of the planet's territory, which was equivalent to conquering Europe and Spain. Given the pride of such a person, why would he leave behind imperfect traps in the main tomb, the place he enjoyed?
All the defenses against grave robbers should be concentrated on the outer layer. After all, if we can break through the outer layer, then there's no need to guard the inner layer. "
Li Li took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited.
After all, he was an ancient emperor who was comparable to Emperor Qin!
He was just an ordinary Cantonese boss. If he hadn't paid attention to that mysterious forum, he would have come here in the dark. He wouldn't know what was going on and wouldn't be far from death.
He carefully took some of the frozen food on the dining table and planned to leave the main tomb chamber that looked like a freezer. He had no intention of opening the coffin.
He couldn't guarantee that Ji Shang's coffin had a backup plan, or that he might still be alive.
He strenuously dragged a few large stone sculptures and stacked them on top of the coffin lid. After confirming that it was impossible for a normal person to push it open, he mumbled something.
"Amitabha. May the Buddha of Physics, Newton, bless me. Please help me close the lid of the coffin of this great emperor who spent his entire life on the battlefield and killed tens of thousands of people!"
"Wait."
His entire body was slightly startled. He was greatly shocked, and his body trembled violently.
"I see!"
He exclaimed. "Newton was a peerless genius of Western physics. When he was young, he studied physics and all kinds of laws of physics. In his later years, he liked to study theology. He was extremely fanatical. This is extremely normal. After all … he was originally a disciple of the orthodox Buddha of Physics!"
He was enlightened, and he felt goosebumps all over his body. "Look at his golden curly hair. Isn't that the Buddha's curly hair?"
"And Tesla, the man who was said to be closest to God, actually studied machines that assimilated with ghosts and spirits in the Netherworld in his later years!" He was greatly shocked. He felt that the experiences of every great physicist were extremely similar.
They all started with physics and then came theology.
After all, the end of science was theology.
After all, the Tesla coil and diamond hoop of the players were one of the symbols of Buddha!
Coincidence?
He didn't believe it!
"Everyone thinks that Buddha is in Buddhism, but in reality, Buddha is in all living beings."
He muttered. Ever since he transmigrated to this extraordinary planet and learned that everything was true, he had become even more pious.
"What secrets are hidden in our ancient Huaxia mythology? What kind of greatness and glory did our ancient civilization have? "
He came to a small enclosed space, isolated from the outside ice cave, and took some finely carved furniture. He smashed the priceless antiques into pieces and tried to drill wood to make a fire.
In the end, he found that the seemingly simple craftsmanship that primitive people had to have failed for a whole day. Even his hands were directly scraped and bleeding.
Reality was cruel.
In the end, he could only curl up in a corner and take some luxurious burial clothes to cover himself. He used his own body temperature to melt the ice and drink water and food.
He shivered all over, like an old man who was down and out in the cold wind.
This was an extraterrestrial survival in the wilderness.
His teeth were chattering from the cold. "Those novels are all lies … Transmigration to a different world, all kinds of operations to easily survive, even the simplest of drilling wood to make a fire is difficult for a modern person …"
He could still entertain himself in this frozen state.
"I think that those who want to transmigrate have to study how to drill wood to make a fire, familiarize themselves with the manufacturing process of gunpowder and nuclear bombs, master mathematics, physics, Buddhism, chemistry, and Daoism, and at least have a university degree … After all, the nine-year compulsory education is a way for the country to secretly cultivate successors of Buddhism and Daoism, to inherit the ancient mythological civilization."
— Everyone should cultivate, and the revival of spiritual energy was in the nine-year compulsory education.
— Master mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and you won't have to be afraid to travel to another world.
At this time, he felt that from the scientific and technological revolution of Newtonian physics to the current society, it seemed as if the feudal superstitions of many eras had been eliminated, but in reality …
Earth was leading to the Extraordinary.
If the supernatural were to be revived, the nine-year compulsory education on Earth, the sea of questions, the simulation of the five-year college entrance examination, and the like would definitely produce a large number of peerless powerhouses.
"Students nowadays think that learning is boring, and yearn for the Extraordinary of another world. But the most boring part of the so-called Extraordinary path is learning."
He murmured, as if he had seen the true meaning of the world.
"All things in the world are equal. How can one become strong without experiencing boredom? How can those who can't even persevere in their studies become strong without learning physics, chemistry, and the true meaning of the laws of the universe? "
The universe was inexorably predestined.
No matter what world it was, a slacker who did not work hard would always be a slacker.
"There should still be an arms race outside, and the continents should still have about a year to launch their satellites … And that player, Yuan Qinghua, should still be secretly cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, waiting for the day to set off."
A year?
He silently calculated. All of this had nothing to do with him.
After all, he was just a normal person. Moreover, how was he going to escape the traps outside the tomb? It was difficult for him to destroy them.
"I want to cultivate! I want to learn! "
A firm idea was born in his mind.
"But martial arts is impossible. Although the principles of this art are leaked, I don't have divine sense, so I can't train every part of my body … I can only cultivate the Dao of the Soul. And those core players have always hidden it from us ordinary forum viewers, and there are no Dao of the Soul cultivation art leaked. Do I have to create my own?"
His scalp went numb.
"How is that possible? … Looking at the myriad worlds and the entire development of the Extraordinary civilization, there must be a corresponding Extraordinary bloodline to be able to create a cultivation art from the beginning … "
"But as an Earthling, what Extraordinary bloodline do I have?"
No matter how he thought about it, it was a hopeless situation of death!
The outer layer was full of tomb-guarding mechanisms, and an ordinary person like him couldn't get out. Moreover, if he stayed in the tomb, the oxygen, food, and water here would all be depleted.
His time was extremely limited.
He curled up in a corner. "I can only hope that someone has raided the tomb, but is that possible? The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin on Earth hasn't been excavated to this day in order to protect it. But in the Central Province before me, it wasn't just a matter of protecting the tomb, but also a country ruled by Ji Shang's descendants. How could they dig up their own ancestral tomb? If only I could go to the forum to ask for help … "
In the following three months, he failed countless times. Forced by hunger and cold, he finally learned how to drill wood to extinguish the fire, but that was all.
Even though he lived frugally and only ate one meal a day, and besides eating and defecating, he didn't move at all. He tried his best to reduce the amount of oxygen he consumed, but he still used up most of his food reserves.
The frozen vegetables buried with him had already been eaten, and only meat was left.
His body was getting weaker and weaker, and he discovered a terrible problem.
Even though the mysterious God had treated his body before, his cancer was about to break out again.
At the same time, he was being irradiated.
His entire body was oozing with blood, and his gums, nostrils, and head were all bald.
"Only now do I realize that those vegetables and meat must have been treated with radiation to make them sterile. That's why they could be preserved for so long in the ice layer …"
He also discovered another terrifying thing.
Those elite soldiers in the ice could actually still be alive.
They might have also been treated with radiation before being sealed in ice and sleeping. He felt that there might still be some faint signs of life. This was too terrifying!
"If the frozen soldiers are still alive, then Ji Shang must still be alive!" He was no longer calm. "Is he planning to wake up one day and lead his trusted troops, this group of terracotta soldiers, to conquer this planet again?"
It wasn't that he didn't put in effort during these three months.
He wanted to make a move on those corpses, fuse with their radiation genes, and cultivate the buddhist path.
However, he stopped instantly.
He didn't have enough knowledge and ability in this aspect to extract their blood and concoct transcendent bloodline medicine.
Should he forcefully fuse with their blood? If he was at the second or third level, he might be able to resist. But now?
Given his current constitution, the mortality rate was 100%.
Right now, he could only close his eyes and rest, studying the legendary soul path.
His expression turned completely serious.
"Martial path and soul path are both foundational cultivation arts that are simple and direct."
As an Earthling, he could only start studying these things because knowledge was the power of everything.
"I understand the principles of martial path. Divine will, observing every part of the muscles and bones, training them as a whole, eating a large amount of food to replenish the body, and evolving the flesh and blood …
I don't have divine will, so martial path is impossible!
Moreover, the food here isn't enough to provide powerful energy … I can only study the soul path. As a cultivation art with no bloodline, it's also a simple way to train the soul. It should be an ancient meditation technique! "
Martial path was for ancient martial artists who tempered their qi and blood.
Soul path was for ancient Daoist priests who meditated cross-legged.
These were the two major systems. After all, any cultivation art would originate from these two systems.
However, why didn't any Daoist priest or martial artist succeed in ancient meditation?
Martial path required divine will. Could it be that the soul path required energy?
Hu, hu, hu ~
He closed his eyes and took deep breaths. Clearly, it was useless. He still knew a little about qigong and ancient breathing techniques. After all, as a middle-aged man, he had experienced the era of qigong craze.
Another month passed.
He was almost done with the meat.
If this continued, he would have to eat corpses.
"I'd rather die than eat corpses. I won't live for long anyway … Moreover, the most serious problem now isn't food, but oxygen."
He could clearly feel the thinning of oxygen. He was suffering from altitude sickness, and breathing was difficult.
"I seriously suspect that Ji Han stored so much seemingly useless oxygen in the tomb. It's very likely that he used it to breathe after they woke up … It's just like changing blood. After all, their blood is oxygen, and it's a backup plan for them to wake up." He took a deep breath. "I've already used up all of their reserves."
Now that things had come to this, he was at the end of his rope.
Four months was too short, and he had only cultivated useless qigong.
He could only take a gamble. He first tried to melt a soldier in the ice layer. Observing his body, he discovered an even more terrifying fact.
According to what he had learned in the forum, this soldier was in his thirties, had white hair, and was actually a stage two.
He was shocked. "Although Ji Shang obtained technology as a Moon Seer, he's already begun to study the Extraordinary system. Most of the soldiers who followed him back then were stage two, and they're basically old people now. He himself is probably stage three or four! He single-handedly opened up four realms!!
The average lifespan in this world is forty years, so a stage four's lifespan is around seventy to eighty years. In other words, when Ji Shang died of old age, he didn't die of old age, but in a fake death. He was still in his prime! "
He paced back and forth in the tomb, goosebumps rising all over his body. It was as if he had seen a huge ancient conspiracy. "He fell asleep because he saw that his trusted subordinates were all going to die of old age. That's why he fell asleep. He wanted to lead his trusted subordinates to live until the next life!"
"And it was also because he wanted to wait for the Moon Seers of later generations to completely study the moon. Then, he would come out and rule the world, reaping the fruits of their labor."
The coffin in the main chamber was pressed down by several large rocks, but he was still terrified.
Stage four.
The weight of those rocks?
Even Newton couldn't hold down such a coffin.
In the end, he lowered his head and looked at the unsealed elite soldier. "This corpse is already dead. It looks like the survival rate of ice isn't high … but since it's already dead, as a stage two lifeform, their energy is in their blood. Blood circulates oxygen and carbon dioxide, and this energy gas is the oxygen I need. Perhaps I can …"
With a look of struggle, he suddenly bent over the soldier's neck and bit down.
Puff!
He sucked in large amounts of oxygen. At the same time, he felt as if sweet spring water was pouring in, nourishing his aged body.
He sucked in large mouthfuls, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
Rumble!
His mind seemed to enter a special state. When he came to, he felt abnormally energetic. "It's useful! It's really useful! Soul Dao is a basic origin cultivation method. It's also very simple, but it requires large amounts of resources and energy for cultivation! "
Next, he began to cultivate.
Looking at the countless ice sculptures of the terracotta soldiers, he slowly bowed.
"They're all dead anyway. Everyone, please bless me. I'll live on with your will. Amitabha, Newton, please bless me. Please press the coffin tightly, don't trouble me."
He went to pick out the corpses of the soldiers that seemed to be completely dead, smashed the ice, bit their necks, and absorbed the energy cultivated within.
Until one day, he accidentally melted into a living person. The person's heartbeat was weak, and it was slowly recovering. He was shocked.
"Should I kill him … or else I won't be able to defeat him … even if he's also an old man, he's a stage two veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles!"
He was so nervous that he pursed his lips. He held a self-made stone weapon and pointed it at his head, not knowing whether he should do it or not.
It was impossible for modern people to turn into cold-blooded murderers in an instant. It was impossible to apply the law of the jungle immediately. People had to grow.
But just as he paused, the white-haired soldier opened his eyes and sent out a weak message.
He didn't know what he was saying, but after a while, the heartbeat stopped.
Li Li took a deep breath and felt that the soldier's body temperature was starting to drop. "He should be dead. He only lived for a few seconds after coming out of the ice … after all, he's a person who died of old age."
He hesitated for a moment, then directly lay on the corpse that was still warm, bit the throat, and sucked the blood and qi.
Then he continued to cultivate and meditate.
He found that this speed was very fast.
After all, it was the energy cultivated by other people for a lifetime. Although everyone was at stage two, under such circumstances, he felt that he was almost at stage one after digging up the terracotta soldiers and destroying the ancient ruins.
Half an hour later, while Li Li was still meditating, he suddenly heard movement.
It was the sound of convulsions!
"Who??"
He opened his eyes in horror and saw an unimaginable and terrifying scene.
The old soldier whose neck was bitten by him had come back to life. His whole body was convulsing, and his expression was as if he was fusing with the genetic medicine, struggling in pain.
"What the hell is this!!?"
He raised his axe in horror and pointed it at the white-haired soldier who was convulsing on the ground.
Wu wu wu!
The old soldier was actually becoming younger. His hair was black as if he was returning to his youth.
"This is!? This is!? "Li Li couldn't help but scream in horror. His mind was in turmoil." How can this be? What the hell is happening!? "
Li Li lowered his gaze.
He suddenly saw the bite mark on the white-haired soldier's neck. The hole was stained with his blood.
It was his gums that bled and entered the soldier's body.
"It's my blood!! He's fusing with my blood! "
"No!! It's our Earthling's blood! "
He looked at the ground, at the white-haired old man who was struggling in pain. There were teeth marks on the soldier's neck. A man who had been bitten to death, an old man who should have died of old age, was becoming younger. This scene reminded him of an ancient myth …
A thousand-year legend that belonged to Earth.
His legs were weak, and he gritted his teeth. His widened eyes were filled with terror. At this moment, a horrifying prelude to history was slowly unfolding before his eyes.
"We Earthlings are actually!!?"
