The reason why Yan Guilai dared to act so boldly and decisively and take back the ten million sets of armor and weapons that were originally set for the military was because he was confident in himself.
At present, the ten million troops of the Tiger Tribe, especially the one hundred thousand Flying Tiger Troops, had been blocked by him on the Green Wood Peninsula and could not leave at all.
Among the three royal tribes, the Ferocious Bear Tribe was under his control. Among the three aristocratic tribes, the Giant Ape Tribe and the Giant Python Tribe also followed Yan Guilai's lead.
Therefore, the Demon Race and the humans would not go to war in the short term.
Even if the Demon Race insisted on fighting, Yan Guilai's forces were enough to disrupt the Demon Race and prevent the war from proceeding.
In the worst case scenario, even if the Demon Race attacked without regard for anything and Yan Guilai could not stop them, there was nothing to be afraid of.
The Nine Suns Sky-Traversing Formation was now completely under Yan Guilai's control and had become his own ability.
Therefore, if the Demon Race really invaded, Yan Guilai could rush to the Natural Moat Canyon and set up the Nine Suns Sky-Traversing Formation.
At that time, with the Nine Suns Sky-Traversing Formation above and the Nine Yin Absolute Frost below, the Natural Moat Canyon would basically be unshakable under the combination of the two formations.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the government's orders were carried out smoothly, Yan Guilai made a series of bold and decisive moves. As expected … no one dared to look down on him anymore and no one would treat him like a ten-year-old child anymore.
After everything was done, Yan Guilai shifted his consciousness to the Giant Python. Next … it was time to investigate the Lingmu Emperor's palace.
After waiting for half a year, the Flying Tiger Troop's commander-in-chief, the Emperor of the Ferocious Flames Army, did not come out of seclusion. No one knew what he was doing. Helpless, Yan Guilai sent Niu Huai to bribe the servants of the Emperor of the Ferocious Flames Army.
Through the servants of the Emperor of the Ferocious Flames Army, Yan Guilai learned a piece of very bad news.
The Exploding Scorch Emperor wasn't cultivating in seclusion at all. He had already entered the Thousand Willows Array set up by the Lingmu Emperor ten years ago in an attempt to break the array's protection and obtain the inheritance left behind by the Lingmu Emperor.
Although the Lingmu Emperor had died, as an Emperor, his remnant soul would continue to live on for a period of time, just like the Mysterious Underworld Celestial Emperor.
The difference was that the Celestial Emperor's remnant soul could exist for over a thousand years, while the Emperor's remnant soul could only exist for about a hundred years.
Thus, even though the Lingmu Emperor had died, his remnant soul had sunk into the ground along with the Lingmu Emperor's palace, forming the tomb of the Emperor.
In fact, all Emperors and Celestial Emperors would have a hundred to a thousand years to make arrangements for their funerals.
Although they would only exist in the form of a remnant soul, they would become even more powerful after breaking free from the restraints of their physical bodies.
Therefore, it would be very difficult to break into the tomb of the Emperor. Even though they were both Emperors, the Emperor of the Exploding Scorch Empire was bound to be obstructed at every step.
However, this situation couldn't continue indefinitely. The Emperor's remnant soul could exist for at most a hundred years before completely disappearing.
It had already been a hundred years since the death of the Lingmu Emperor, so the Lingmu Emperor's soul should have already dissipated.
At this moment, only a few unconscious clones of the Lingmu Emperor's Emperor were left in the tomb. They only retained their battle instincts and were still guarding the tomb.
Although these clones also had the battle strength of the Emperor, they had lost their consciousness and ability to analyze and judge. With only their battle instincts left, they wouldn't be able to resist the Emperor's harvest.
After hearing this news, Yan Guilai didn't dare to be negligent. He asked Yuan Hong to shrink his body and put Niu Huai and himself in the bronze bracers. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly sneaked into the great palace of the Lingmu Emperor.
According to the information he had gathered, Yuan Hong quickly found the entrance to the underground tomb and rushed in immediately.
The Spiritual Wood Palace was originally above ground.
However, after the Lingmu Emperor's failed possession, his remnant soul drove the entire palace and sank a thousand meters underground to hide.
Legend had it that the Emperor had the method of resurrection. As long as he could hold on for ten thousand years and absorb the water of the River Styx under the Nine Underworlds, there was hope for him to reincarnate and become the strongest undying Emperor.
The World of Souls was the place where the Emperor reincarnated.
As soon as he entered the ancient tomb of the Lingmu Emperor, Yuan Hong couldn't help but be stunned. He looked around and saw trees and grass everywhere. It was a scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Originally, the ancient tomb of the Lingmu Emperor should be underground. There shouldn't be any sun, flowers, or trees.
However, at this moment, there wasn't much difference between the ancient tomb and the surface.
There was a sun in the sky, mountains, rivers, forests, and grass on the ground. There were even flowers blooming on the ground.
Was this an illusion? No … of course it couldn't be an illusion.
Yan Gui Lai's heart was slightly moved. He jumped out of Yuan Hong's bronze wrist guard together with Niu Ben.
Feeling everything around him, Yan Guilai couldn't help but gasp in amazement. He had a new understanding of the Lingmu Emperor.
Everything in this world was real. It could even be said that this world was created by the Lingmu Emperor.
Yan Guilai could clearly feel the sun in the sky. It was none other than the sun in the Qian Kun world that emitted boundless heat.
Although they were underground, Sovereign Lingwood was able to transfer the light from the sun, moon, and stars of the Cosmos World to this world through a series of means such as reflection, refraction, and a series of other means. Through the grand array, Sovereign Lingwood had transferred the light of the sun, moon, and stars of the Cosmos World into this world.
As for the flowers and trees in this world, they couldn't be fake. As a wood-elemental Emperor, it would be inconceivable if he didn't have this ability.
The grass and flowers aside, what surprised Yan Guilai the most was that in this world, other than the grass and flowers, there was only one type of tree. That was the willow tree.
As far as the eye could see, from the entrance of the ancient tomb all the way to the boundless horizon, there were tens of thousands of willow trees that were verdant and lush. Tens of thousands of willow branches hung down from their branches.
Looking at the vast sea of willow trees, Yan Guilai couldn't help but sigh. Obviously … this was the Thousand Willow Array that the Lingmu Emperor was so proud of.
The so-called Thousand Willow Array actually only had three thousand willow trees in total. However, through the layering of the array, it could form a boundless sea of willow trees.
No matter when or where, as long as one entered the ancient tomb, they would have to face the attacks of the three thousand willow trees.
If one wanted to advance on land, it was basically courting death. Under the attack of three thousand willow trees, nine million willow branches, unless the Sky Emperor himself came … no one would be able to withstand it.
Therefore, if one wanted to enter the ancient tomb, the only way was through the clear but bottomless river.
This river should be the legendary Nine Netherworld River that was located in the deepest part of the earth.
