Ancient Tomb Mansion

The Heaven Flame Mountain Range lay between Flame City and two nearby cities. Vast beyond measure, it spanned nearly half of Celestial Capital Prefecture and was the foremost mountain range in the prefecture.

Countless ferocious demonic beasts inhabited it. If one ventured too deeply, even experts of the Creation Three Realms could perish within.

However, great danger also meant great opportunities.

For instance, the Pill Immortal Pool, and the Nirvana Ancient Tomb Mansion.

Of course, just as Lin Fan did not know the location of the Pill Immortal Pool, he did not know where the Ancient Tomb Mansion was either.

Fortunately, he was not completely without information, so he would not wander aimlessly through the endless mountains like a headless fly.

Along the way, Lin Fan encountered attacks from many demonic beasts.

Perhaps because he had not yet reached the depths of the mountain range, the strongest demonic beasts Lin Fan encountered were only at Essence Core Realm Great Perfection. He had not encountered any demonic beasts of the Creation Three Realms.

After searching through the mountain range for half a month, Lin Fan passed through what seemed like a natural forest barrier and arrived before an enormous mountain.

This mountain had no peak, as though someone had cleaved it apart with a single sword strike.

Lush green vegetation spread across the mountain. Through the greenery covering the summit, faint traces of ancient buildings could be seen.

"This must be where the Ancient Tomb Mansion is located!"

Lin Fan glanced at the buildings atop the mountain, then continued climbing upward.

Along the way, powerful demonic beasts occasionally charged out, but all of them ultimately fell beneath Lin Fan's sword.

Suddenly, Lin Fan stopped and threw a punch forward.

The next moment, the space ahead seemed to distort. An energy barrier slowly materialized, its surface covered in intricate patterns that resembled strange runes.

Lin Fan came before the energy barrier and sat down cross-legged, deduction flashing in his eyes.

Chen Beixuan was not only astonishingly accomplished in cultivation, but also a grandmaster of formations.

Though these were two different worlds, the fundamental principles of formations remained the same despite their countless variations.

Having inherited Chen Beixuan's legacy, Lin Fan quickly comprehended the formation here.

Lin Fan rose to his feet. His right hand turned into a series of afterimages, and each tap left behind a strand of Pure Yuan Hardening Qi at a specific point.

Several breaths later, Lin Fan withdrew his right hand and suddenly formed a hand seal!

"Buzz!"

The moment the seal formed, the strands of Pure Yuan Hardening Qi immediately connected, cutting off the Yuan Power within.

In an instant, the runes dimmed, and an entrance appeared before Lin Fan.

Lin Fan flashed forward and entered beyond the energy barrier.

Upon reaching the summit, a massive stone gate concealed amid the lush greenery came into Lin Fan's view.

Lin Fan gave it a hard push, and the stone gate opened.

The moment he stepped through it, a suffocating sensation crashed down upon him.

Although the owner of the Ancient Tomb Mansion had died an unknown number of years ago, the lingering aura he left behind still made the Yuan Power within Lin Fan's body somewhat sluggish.

"As expected of the Nirvana Realm!"

Lin Fan stepped forward and entered a passageway.

Before he had gone far, an ordinary-looking stone chamber appeared ahead. Waves of Yuan Power fluctuations emanated from within.

Lin Fan did not act rashly. Instead, he spread out his Spiritual Power and sent it into the stone gate.

A moment later, the stone gate trembled before slowly rumbling open.

After entering, Lin Fan found the chamber covered in cold jade, with a faint chill filling the interior.

However, Lin Fan's gaze was not on the cold jade.

That was because the stone chamber was currently piled full of round pills.

Each pill was the size of an infant's fist, smooth as jade and clearly of exceptional quality. The astonishing Yuan Power fluctuations were emanating from these pills.

The instant he saw them, Lin Fan recognized them as Pure Yuan Pills.

They were a kind of pill even more advanced than Yang Yuan Pills, condensed only after an Essence Core Realm martial artist spent half a month to a month refining them.

There were more than ten thousand Pure Yuan Pills in this chamber. Converted into Yang Yuan Pills, they would be worth at least over a million.

Lin Fan immediately took out his Cosmos Sack and began collecting the Pure Yuan Pills.

For this expedition into the Ancient Tomb Mansion, he had even specially acquired two intermediate Cosmos Sacks.

A beginner Cosmos Sack only cost fifty-eight Yang Essence Stones, but an intermediate Cosmos Sack was worth over a thousand Yang Essence Stones.

After looting this stone chamber, Lin Fan headed elsewhere.

Since he was the only one here now, he naturally had to loot the place clean.

There were more than ten passageways in total, and behind each passageway was a stone chamber.

After looting several stone chambers in succession, Lin Fan obtained over a hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills in total.

When he reached the end of another passageway, he discovered that the stone gate there was actually forged from cold jade.

The mere sight of this distinctive gate was enough to tell that the items inside had to be even more valuable.

Looking at the runes faintly appearing and disappearing on the stone door, Lin Fan knew there was a seal on it.

"Buzz!"

Lin Fan clenched his hand from afar, and a light sword formed from countless golden talismans appeared in his grasp.

"Break!"

Holding the Dharma Sword, Lin Fan swung it down, cleaving open the cold jade door in a single strike.

"Buzz!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to enter, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation suddenly surged out and knocked him back.

He immediately went on guard, only to discover that it was merely accumulated energy.

Entering the stone chamber, Lin Fan saw nearly a hundred floating balls of light.

Within those light spheres were sleeping Demon Spirits, clearly sealed away by a Nirvana expert.

Lin Fan swept away every last Demon Spirit before heading straight for the other stone chambers.

After looting all the stone chambers, Lin Fan found two rooms containing Demon Spirits. The rest either stored Pure Yuan Pills or had been abandoned.

In other words, he had obtained two hundred Demon Spirits and over two hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills.

After proceeding for a while longer, the passage ahead began to widen.

Beyond the passage lay an enormous hall resembling a vast plaza.

Suspended in midair within the hall was a Light Screen. Several glowing silhouettes floated inside it, taking the shapes of sabers, swords, shields, armor, and more.

The moment Lin Fan saw those glowing forms, he recognized them all as Spiritual Treasures.

One saber-shaped Spiritual Treasure was especially dazzling. It was an Intermediate Spiritual Treasure.

However, Lin Fan, who had read the original novel, knew that the most valuable item here was actually that pitch-black spear-shaped Spiritual Treasure.

This Spiritual Treasure was only a semi-finished product, but it was also an Intermediate Spiritual Treasure.

"Break again!"

Lin Fan condensed the True Martial Dharma Sword once more and sliced open the Light Screen as easily as a hot knife through butter.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, the six Spiritual Treasures within shot through the opening and flew in every direction.

Lin Fan reached out with one hand, releasing a powerful suction force. The Spiritual Treasures that had flown away immediately reversed course and flew back into his hand.

After putting away the Spiritual Treasures, Lin Fan continued toward the rear of the hall.

Passing through another corridor, he found countless enormous wooden stakes ahead. Packed tightly together, they formed numerous winding pathways between the stakes, leading who knew where.

Many humanoid puppets forged from refined iron stood on the ground.

Lin Fan knew that these were Talisman Puppets, but they were merely low-grade defective products.
