Exerting his theurgy, Ye Xuan blended in with the earth like a fish in water. Then he sank rapidly into the ground.
After a while, he was dozens of meters underground and finally reached the tomb.
This was a vast underground palace. Not long after Ye Xuan descended, he landed in a spacious hall. In front of him was a pair of tightly shut stone doors. The words "Longevity Immortal Abode" were carved on them in large seal scripts from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. One could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
Although the stone door was tightly shut, there was an extremely cold Qi emanating from behind the stone door. This was the power of extreme Yin. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with it for too long, the cold Qi would invade their body and cause them to die.
The underground was extremely deep. Ye Xuan looked around the hall and found that there were traces of human activity. There was also a hole that was the width of a person that led to the ground. It was probably a hole left behind by the tomb robbers.
Ye Xuan didn't pay much attention to this. He paused for a moment, then walked towards the stone doors.
The two stone doors were made of diamond and extremely thick. Apart from the four pre-Qin seal scripts, there were also patterns of flowers, birds, fish, insects, and fairies engraved on them. Ye Xuan also found traces of explosives next to them. It was obvious that the gold-raiding captain had tried to blow up the doors with explosives.
Unfortunately, the hardness of the stone doors alone was not something an ordinary person could break. Not to mention, there was also a seal on them. Unless a large amount of explosives was used to blow them up, there was no hope at all.
After looking at the stone doors, Ye Xuan reached out and waved his right hand. Immediately, a ray of clear light poured out and wiped away the marks on the stone doors. He then waved his hand again and the stone doors that had been sealed for thousands of years made a soft sound before slowly being pushed back.
As soon as the stone doors were pushed open, a vast wave of extremely cold air rushed out. If an ordinary person was hit by this extremely cold air, their blood would definitely freeze and they would immediately fall to the ground and die.
However, what kind of person was Ye Xuan? This wisp of Yin Qi was like a cool breeze to him. When it arrived in front of him, it was directly refined by his aura.
Suddenly, a burst of celestial music sounded from outside the stone door. It was pleasant to the ears, but in this tomb, it was extremely strange, as if it came from the underworld.
After listening for a while, Ye Xuan did not hear any murderous intent from the music. He then stepped forward and entered the stone door.
Behind the stone door was a flight of stairs made of white jade, leading from top to bottom, all the way to the bottom.
Walking on the white jade stairs, Ye Xuan could feel the Lunar Aura emanating from the white jade stairs. He guessed that the source of the extremely cold aura must have been here. After thousands of years of accumulation, it was only natural that a strong Lunar Aura had been condensed.
The white jade stairs were extremely meticulous. There were a total of ninety-nine steps, and it was the peak of the dao.
As Ye Xuan walked down, he did not discover any danger along the way. Soon, he reached the end of the stairs and arrived at the real underground tomb.
This underground palace was extremely vast, supported by nine dragon jade pillars, and the ground was paved with black rocks.
Whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan stepped into this palace, he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from above his head. He saw a giant bat descending from the sky, flapping its demonic wings. Its sharp claws flew out, and from top to bottom, it clawed at the top of his head.
"Hmph!" Ye Xuan snorted coldly at the sight of the giant bat pouncing at him. A gust of energy abruptly rose from his body, and the entire void was trembling. The giant bat that was pouncing at him suddenly stopped moving, and then it fell heavily from the sky like a ragged sack.
At the same time, a series of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard from the underground palace. Upon closer inspection, the objects falling to the ground were all the same as the demonic creatures that attacked Ye Xuan. They were all giant bats.
Each of these giant bats was at least two meters long, and their sharp claws seemed to be able to pierce through metal and stone. It was unknown whether it was natural or due to the influence of this tomb, but they had actually mutated to such a terrifying extent. Perhaps even if ordinary cultivators entered this place, if they were not careful, they would also die under the sharp claws of these bats.
Withdrawing his Qi, Ye Xuan continued to walk deeper into the underground palace.
Walking to the end of the underground palace, Ye Xuan discovered that this underground palace was not the real burial ground of the tomb owner, because there was a row of white jade stairs at the end of the underground palace that led deeper underground, and the celestial music seemed to be coming from below.
Naturally, Ye Xuan was not afraid. He stepped down, and after walking down 999 steps, he finally arrived at an even deeper underground palace.
Compared to above, the area of this underground palace seemed to be smaller, but it was more exquisite. It was supported by six coiling dragon jade pillars, and the hall was not empty, but a row of bronze bells was placed in it.
This row of bronze bells was simple and unadorned, but it had a kind of Taoist Connotation. This was not the mark of the Taoist Connotation, but because the tomb owner liked this row of bells when he was alive, and it affected this row of bells over a long period of time. At this moment, this row of bells was ringing without anyone, and the celestial music he heard before was coming from here.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows, and then he waved his right hand, and a ray of light whizzed out from his sleeve, fixing the bells in place, and the celestial music naturally stopped.
As mentioned before, this row of bells only had Taoist Connotation, and there were no marks of the Taoist Connotation, so as long as these bells were fixed, the Taoist Connotation inside them would naturally dissipate.
Not finding anything special about these bells, Ye Xuan did not stay for long, but continued to walk deeper into the underground palace.
However, after walking for less than a few hundred meters, his footsteps suddenly slowed down, because he felt an additional wave of murderous intent in the air.
The murderous intent was dense, and it was as if there was a blade on his back. Even with Ye Xuan's level of cultivation, he felt threatened.
"What a powerful Sword Will!" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, and then he continued to move forward. Not long after, he found the source of the murderous intent in a stone house in the depths of the underground palace. It was actually the Sword Will left behind by flying swords.
The Sword Will split the sky, and there was a total of seven types of Sword Will. The long type of sword light was divided into seven types: gold, red, purple, blue, yellow, black, and green. Every single sword light could tear through the void, and they were as fast as lightning, unstoppable.
After watching for a while, Ye Xuan very quickly found out the source of these Sword Will. They were trapped in this void, and they could only move freely within a few meters of each other. They could not escape, because their source was within the stone layer.
"A Saint-level Sword Will. Even a Saint-level Sword Will would find it difficult to deal with. If all seven of them were to be used at the same time, even I would not dare to face them head-on. Chi Song Zi's cultivation is indeed impressive." Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he gazed at the seven types of Sword Intents in the air. After that, he stretched out his right palm, and a dazzling divine light arose from his palm. After that, a talisman that was profound like an array of stars flew out, and it even split into seven before imprinting itself onto the seven beast skin scabbards that hung on the wall …
