Since Li Tianming had decided to act against the Illusory Heaven Progenitor, he would prepare thoroughly and leave no room for risk to take root.
More time passed.
Li Tianming crossed an immensely long flight of massive steps before finally entering the burial chamber of the Ancestral Emperor Mausoleum!
At that moment, a vast expanse of white filled his vision, and a hint of wonder entered his eyes.
"A single burial chamber, built into a palace this lavish?" Sui Shen Yao exclaimed.
Li Tianming and the others saw six enormous pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes supporting the entire chamber. All around them, on the floor, the walls, and every other visible surface, were Phantasm Patterns and Dao Formations distinctive to the Phantom Sky Imperial Clan.
Most extravagant of all, those Dao Patterns did not form Dao Formations at all!
Shaped like dragons and phoenixes, birds and beasts, and all manner of imposing Dao Formations, they served only as decoration!
Still stunned, Aurora reflected, "The Dao Formation on the tombstone outside alone could probably stop every enemy within the Heavenly Emperor Territory Map, apart from those in the Heavenly Emperor Sect. If anyone fought their way here, either the Li Imperial Clan's dynasty would have collapsed, or the Heavenly Emperor Sect would have fallen into civil strife. The odds of either happening are practically zero. Of course they saw no need to put much more effort into defending the chamber itself..."
Aurora's judgment made sense. Before this, Li Tianming had scarcely even heard of a Dao Formation that could repair itself.
That also gave it a great margin for error—even if someone disturbed the Ancestral Emperor Mausoleum, as long as it was not completely destroyed, the Phantom Sky Imperial Clan could resume guarding it before the burial chamber suffered any
