Chapter Summary
“The main thing is that I don’t have anything good,” said Mo Nian helplessly . Seeing that Yue Xiaoqian merely smiled faintly, Mo Nian sensed that she didn’t like talking, so he continued with his work . Long Chen smiled, knowing that Mo Nian was making it more difficult for anyone who followed them .
Chapter 1880: Giant Tomb “You mean we should arrange something special?
” Mo Nian’s eyes lit up .
“What do you think?
” Long Chen wriggled his eyebrows .
“The main thing is that I don’t have anything good,” said Mo Nian helplessly .
“What about this?
” Long Chen took out the Blazing Dragon Cauldron .
There were quite a few giant ants trapped within it .
“My god, Heaven Devouring Ants!
” “Hehe, do you think they’re enough?
” “They’re definitely enough .
” Mo Nian was delighted as if he was looking at a treasure .
“What are you two talking about?
” Yue Xiaoqian looked at Long Chen and Mo Nian blankly .
Long Chen said, “If nothing unexpected happens to him, Di Feng will quickly return .
We’re thinking of preparing a welcoming gift for him .
” Di Feng had been at a disadvantage before, pressed from both sides by Long Chen and Mo Nian .
He had had no choice but to run .
However, his injuries weren’t too bad .
The majority of the impact had been absorbed by his armor .
His spiritual yuan would also quickly recover with his manifestation .
Di Feng had entered this cave, but he hadn’t found the way deeper .
He had been roaming the outside, which was how he had encountered Yue Xiaoqian .
He had wanted to capture her before continuing to research the cave .
Before opening the cave, he was unwilling to leave .
Long Chen’s guess was that he would gather other experts .
As long as he found another expert on his level, he would immediately rush back .
With Long Chen and Mo Nian both present, the scale of the battle would definitely be on a greater level if he returned .
So Long Chen wanted to prepare something first .
“Any ideas on how to prepare it?
” asked Mo Nian .
Long Chen shook his head .
“I’m sure you’re better at traps .
You’ve been doing archaeology for a long time, so you definitely know many mechanisms .
You do it .
” “Alright then .
” Mo Nian nodded and took out an elegant little trunk from his spatial ring .
When he opened it, Long Chen saw countless unique tools .
There were chisels, claws, axes, rulers, as well as runic seals, silk, etc .
“Are they all part of your profession?
” asked Long Chen with surprise .
“But of course .
As a pioneer of the archaeology world, the successor of the human race’s inheritance, how could I not have this little bit of ability?
” said Mo Nian unashamedly .
He took out a single strand of silk and pulled it over the ground .
“It’s actually the runic silkworm’s inscription silk?
” exclaimed Yue Xiaoqian .
“You know it?
” Now it was Mo Nian’s turn to be surprised .
She even knew of such a thing from an isolated branch of knowledge .
Long Chen smiled .
Yue Xiaoqian was extremely erudite .
This had always been one of the points he had admired about her .
Seeing that Yue Xiaoqian merely smiled faintly, Mo Nian sensed that she didn’t like talking, so he continued with his work .
He slowly arranged the silk .
This silk was very miraculous .
When it met the ground, it actually merged into it .
This silk was very precious .
It needed to be branded with runes, and to brand runes to silk was a technique that had been lost with the years .
Mo Nian had found this kind of silk in ancient tombs .
Fortunately, with the protection of the runes, these strands of silk hadn’t corroded, so he could reuse them .
In truth, Mo Nian had learned many things from his years of grave robbing .
Many experts liked to leave some of their inheritances within their tombs .
Some of those inheritances were brought into their coffins .
That was why some inheritances might be lost in the outside world but still exist within some ancient tombs .
So Mo Nian did have some truth to his words when he said that he was continuing lost cultivation culture .
With Mo Nian at work, Long Chen pulled Yue Xiaoqian to the side and asked her about the original devil race .
Through her explanation, he learned that the original devil race was doing well .
Their disciples were using the foreign Magical Beasts as whetstones for themselves .
They were getting stronger day by day .
Things were going even better than expected .
The only worrisome thing was that even now, they hadn’t managed to find any trace of Wilde .
It was unknown where that child had run off to .
Yue Xiaoqian hadn’t been planning on entering the Yin Yang World originally, but these were the directions of the great prophet .
Only now did Long Chen learn that the great prophet had passed on .
However, before leaving, she had told Yue Xiaoqian that she had to enter the Yin Yang World .
As for why, she hadn’t said .
The great prophet was already gone, so Yue Xiaoqian could only follow her instructions .
“Hey, have you made some mistake?
I’m working myself so hard, but you are flirting with a girl?
Long Chen, can you have some shame?
” cursed Mo Nian once he was about done .
Yue Xiaoqian immediately blushed, while Long Chen indifferently shrugged .
In just half an incense stick’s worth of time, Mo Nian was done .
There were no signs left on the ground .
Even with Spiritual Strength, it was impossible to sense anything odd .
It went without saying that Mo Nian was truly skilled at grave robbing .
The threads of silk had merged with the earth .
When a strong enough expert stepped into this region, they would be triggered .
Long Chen took out the Heaven Devouring Ants from the Blazing Dragon Cauldron .
Knocking them out one by one, he handed them to Mo Nian .
Mo Nian took out a thumb-sized pot .
That pot contained its own space, and he sent them inside .
The Heaven Devouring Ants would be wrapped in runes when he moved them in, and they would rapidly shrink .
After arranging that, Mo Nian took out a stone tablet and placed it at the cave entrance .
However, looking at it, he felt that it was lacking something .
“Long Chen, you should say a few words,” said Mo Nian .
“What words?
” “Whatever you think will anger Di Feng .
” Long Chen thought about it and wrote a quick line with his finger .
A line of bold words appeared: Di Feng, does your face hurt?
“Hahaha...
” Mo Nian laughed .
These words definitely contained killing power .
Di Feng would go crazy as soon as he read it .
Mo Nian left a formation disc on the ground .
Once the formation disc was activated, this place would be covered by an illusion, concealing the cave entrance .
From a distance, it would be impossible to see anything odd about this place .
This was because Mo Nian was worried about someone other than Di Feng arriving first and activating the mechanism .
Only Di Feng’s group knew this exact location, so this illusion would only be unable to fool them .
After arranging all this, the three of them walked into the cave .
They reached the end in just a few miles .
There was a giant stone wall at the end with ancient runes on it .
Paths had already been forcibly created to the two sides of this stone wall .
“These idiots don’t know anything .
This place isn’t the entrance .
Even if they searched for a decade, they wouldn’t be able to get in .
As for the wall’s formation runes, as long as they aren’t suicidal, they wouldn’t dare to attack it .
” Mo Nian smiled .
He suddenly took out a bizarre boat .
The boat was ten meters long and had a drill at the front .
“Come, get on .
” Mo Nian brought Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian aboard and then activated the boat .
It began to dig straight down .
The drill rapidly spun and pierced the ground .
“Amazing .
” Who would have thought that after a few years apart, Mo Nian would learn so much?
Long Chen raised a thumbs up at him .
“Hehe, this is what I use to eat .
I should tell you that I’ve explored tens of thousands of ancient tombs now, and I’ve been busy every day .
I can do over ten on a good day, and it’s all thanks to this little fellow .
This place is a giant tomb, and the entrance should be four hundred miles below here .
This place is the life-facing gate .
In ancient times, most large tombs were structured this way,” said Mo Nian confidently .
“I don’t think so .
The runes on the wall are swallowtail runes, something that only appears at the end of the tombs .
If that’s the case, this place isn’t the entrance but the exit .
Most exits are located at the bottom of the tomb .
A Yang tomb is different from a Yin tomb .
Their entrances aren’t the same,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
“What?
You can read those runes?
” Mo Nian stared at Yue Xiaoqian with absolute shock .
He had seen such runes many times, but he had never learned their names .
As they spoke, the boat pierced through the ground .
They had already reached the location that Mo Nian had indicated .
They were like rats digging into the ground .
They used divine sense to probe their surroundings .
“It really isn’t an entrance .
Curious .
” Mo Nian felt himself blushing .
He was actually mistaken .
“This isn’t the Martial Heaven Continent .
The tombs aren’t the same .
Perhaps the master of this tomb isn’t even human,” said Yue Xiaoqian to comfort him .
“That’s reasonable .
Then let’s test things according to your theory,” said Mo Nian .
He continued controlling the boat to dig .
Not long after, some explosions came from the rear of the flying boat, causing the earth to crumble .
Long Chen smiled, knowing that Mo Nian was making it more difficult for anyone who followed them .
The pressure of this giant tomb greatly limited their divine sense .
If they tried to enter the tunnel Mo Nianhad made, they would be forced to slow down .
Every little bit could help stall them .
They continued descending for two hours, not even knowing how many miles they had gone .
In any case, even Mo Nian’s boat was starting to find it taxing .
However, Mo Nian finally managed to see some familiar runes .
He knew that they were approaching a way into the tomb .
Putting away the flying boat, Mo Nian touched the runes .
After examining them and searching some more, he actually found a stone gate .
He took out a talisman and placed it on the gate .
“What?
Is this to ward off evil?
” asked Long Chen .
“Tch, what evil?
This place is the exit, so for us to enter from here requires going against the flow .
Considering how old this tomb could be, who knows what’s inside?
Who knows how much baleful qi has accumulated?
Those things could harm our Yuan Spirits .
I’m testing the concentration of baleful qi inside right now .
Oh?
There’s actually very little .
How curious .
Well, be careful .
I’m going to open the gate .
” Mo Nian took out eight talismans and placed them in different locations .
They made a strange picture on top of the stone gate .
“Open!
” Mo Nian let out a quiet cry .
The eight talismans lit up, and the gate’s runes also lit up .
Light flowed out like a spiderweb .
The stone gate slowly opened .
