Other Shore Flower, Bridge of Helplessness!

Zhou Chuan exclaimed not because anything unexpected had happened, but because the scene before him was too astonishing!

Zhou Chuan and the others, the viewers in the live broadcast room, and even Lin Fan were all secretly surprised!

After stepping out of the passageway, everything suddenly opened up before my eyes.

Above the tomb chamber, instead of the mud and stones one might imagine, there was only an endless void!

In the void, there are many stars that twinkle from time to time, clearly a scene from the depths of the universe!

"This is a view from the Azure Heavens Nine Layers..." Zhou Chuan exclaimed excitedly, "How is this possible? It's unbelievable! In the era of Qin Shi Huang, they were already able to observe the universe?"

"How... how did they do that? It's clearly the top of the tomb, but to us, it looks like the vast blue sky and the boundless universe..."

"The First Emperor's Mausoleum has such amazing scenery, this trip was definitely worthwhile!"

Many archaeologists were incredibly excited, some even feeling that they would have no regrets even if they died just to see such a magnificent sight.

After a moment, Zhou Chuan took several deep breaths and finally calmed down. "The Underworld and the Yellow Springs, since the scene above is the Azure Heaven, then this river below must be the Yellow Springs?"

Above them was the vast blue sky, while below lay a sheer cliff!

Below the precipice, a river flowed, its water a murky yellow, indistinct and clearly not ordinary. Combined with tales of searching the heavens and the underworld, Zhou Chuan was almost certain this was the legendary Yellow Springs!

"The First Emperor truly lived up to his First Emperor. Where did he collect all these things? Even in modern times, these things are unheard of..."

Zhou Chuan seemed to have gone mad, and for a moment, he seemed to be completely lost in the terrifying scene before him.

At the same time, Lin Fan could no longer remain calm.

This is clearly the work of a 'divine being'!

Of course, this is not a divine method, but rather the method of a cultivator!

Ordinary people simply couldn't do all this; at this moment, he was certain just by looking at it.

"As expected, the First Emperor was also a cultivator, or rather, he had cultivators among his subordinates, and their cultivation level should not be lower than mine!"

The scene before my eyes, Underworld and the Yellow Springs...

The Yellow Springs is one thing, but even I might not be able to create the Azure Heavens Nine Layers!

He was certain that this was not an illusion, but something that had truly been created by cultivators using an array...

They actually created this miniature version of the endless universe!

"Our Saintess was absolutely right. There will probably be a great discovery in the First Emperor's Mausoleum!"

At this moment, Lin Fan kept a low profile.

He didn't say anything, nor did he show his face; he just stood there quietly.

Zhou Chuan gradually recovered from his murmur and warned Human Path, "Be careful not to fall into the Yellow Springs. Such a legendary existence is bound to be accompanied by many dangers."

"Don't rush into sampling and analysis. Our goal this time is to explore and record safely and systematically. We can deal with everything else later!"

When Zhou Chuan saw that some archaeologists were about to lower bottles with ropes to collect water samples, he immediately stopped them.

Then, he looked at Lin Fan: "Sir, what you mean is..."

"Let's follow your approach."

Lin Fan spoke softly, his face never appearing on the live stream screen.

"Good!"

Zhou Chuan exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you so much Mister Lin, for giving me this opportunity!"

"Old Zhou, how do we get in?"

Little Strawberry was utterly shocked by the incredible sight before her. Being there in person, she was far more overwhelmed than the viewers in the live stream, which made her even more eager.

"Let's see first..." Zhou Chuan shook his head slightly and stared straight ahead.

Lin Fan was also observing everything, but with his Divine Sense, it was much easier and more accurate for him.

As far as the eye could see, below the cliff lay the Yellow Springs, and on the opposite bank, the height was the same as where they were now. The Yellow Springs acted like a moat, firmly protecting the entire First Emperor's Mausoleum.

At the end of the line of sight, a massive Underground Palace came into view. Everlasting lamps swayed in the wind, as if countless palaces and pavilions had risen from the ground. Despite the passage of thousands of years, they were still very majestic. Faintly visible in the depths of the Underground Palace was a ladder to heaven, which went straight into the sky!

"If I'm not mistaken, Qin Shi Huang's coffin is on that Sky Ladder!"

After observing for a moment, Zhou Chuan warned everyone, "Remember not to run around, and don't get separated from us and the teacher, otherwise you may trigger the traps, which is very dangerous!"

"Furthermore, judging from the current situation, there must have been cultivators among the builders of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. If you are too far away from him, even he might not be able to save you!"

"To reiterate, our primary goal is to find and record the coffin of the First Emperor, rather than conducting archaeology in the conventional sense. So whatever you see, don't be too hasty. If you want to do archaeology, there will be plenty of opportunities after exploration!"

After saying that, Zhou Chuan shouted, "Follow me, first find the way past the Yellow Springs, then enter the Underground Palace!"

He maintained his respect for Lin Fan, and after obtaining consent, he walked at the front with a powerful flashlight on his head.

Lin Fan's Divine Sense swept across the area and quickly confirmed that their current location could also be considered part of the Underground Palace. The entire Underground Palace complex was located in the very center, with the Yellow Springs forming a moat, while the outermost perimeter was a ring of 'open space' about seven or eight meters wide.

There was nothing in sight to cross the river, so they could only move forward along the open ground...

Half an hour later, Zhou Chuan was panting heavily, but still hadn't found a way to cross the river. Liu Gang, who was in charge of protecting the archaeologists, frowned and said, "Old Zhou, let me try."

He then took out the rope and grappling hook launcher he was carrying, preparing to shoot the grappling hook across and secure it, thus creating a rope bridge.

After all, the Yellow Springs is only a dozen meters wide. Although it seems astonishing, the distance is not too far.

However, as soon as he launched the hook and it entered the Yellow Springs area, it seemed to lose power instantly and plummeted!

Thump...

After the grappling hook fell into the Yellow Springs, it sank rapidly, and the rope continued to fall. Upon seeing this, Liu Gang immediately let go and threw away the rope!

It wasn't that he was afraid of being taken down, after all, his current strength was already quite astonishing, enough to break the rope, but damn it, the scene in front of him was just too weird!

"This..."

Liu Gang was stunned, and everyone present, as well as those watching the live broadcast, felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

"No-fly zone?" Lin Fan clicked his tongue in surprise.

He had even considered flying there, but now it seemed he was glad he hadn't acted impulsively, otherwise...

Who knows what it would be like to sink into the underworld?

"Moreover, this thing can't be detected by Divine Sense... It's weird, it's really damn weird!"

"After all, the Yellow Springs is a legendary entity, so it's normal that it possesses many abilities that we can't imagine and that science can't explain. Let's not be impatient or try to take shortcuts. Let's keep going!"

Zhou Chuan reassured everyone.

But there was one more thing he didn't say.

surprise?

It was both surprising and frightening.

But we've already confirmed the existence of cultivators, and there's even one in our team right now... So what if there are a few supernatural or scientifically inexplicable things?!

That's perfectly normal!

In the past, Zhou Chuan would have been stunned into silence, perhaps even lying by the Yellow Springs pondering this for a long time.

But now... sit down, everyone sit down!

The cultivators were in the group; all of this was just basic stuff...

Zhou Chuan discovered that he had become much more oblivious to things.

Continuing on, after more than ten minutes, we finally saw a bridge.

A Stone Bridge, no more than three meters wide, spans the Yellow Springs.

It's less a bridge and more a natural structure, as if it grew out of the cliff and connected seamlessly to the two sides of the Yellow Springs.

"What are those?!" Suddenly, Little Strawberry exclaimed, pointing to both ends of the Stone Bridge.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the live stream's perspective shifted accordingly, as if locked onto a first-person viewpoint.

Clumps of unidentified plants grew densely, covering almost both ends of the Stone Bridge.

Their leaves are few, but sharp as knives, resembling both grass and a small tree, and are by no means a common plant.

"This... this is!"

Zhou Chuan's pupils contracted. Plants appearing in the Underground Palace were not too unusual, but the plant in front of him looked exactly like something from a legend, making him breathe rapidly.

"What is this thing?" Netizens discussed it heatedly.

"How could there be plants in the Underground Palace? There shouldn't be any oxygen in this place for them to survive, right?"

"If even the Underworld and the Yellow Springs has appeared, then growing some plants doesn't seem so unacceptable, does it?"

In the capital city, the ten Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department watched the live broadcast. The expressions of the Sixth Vice Minister gradually became serious. The others noticed his change and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Old Liu, is there something wrong with these plants?"

"If I'm not mistaken, and if the records are accurate, these plants are..." Vice Minister Liu took a deep breath. "Other Shore Flower!"

"The Other Shore Flower?" The other nine people's expressions changed drastically. "Then... what is that bridge...?"

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast, Zhou Chuan looked excited and clearly recognized what it was, but he didn't explain it immediately. Instead, he led the group step by step closer to the Stone Bridge.

"The Other Shore Flower... this thing is a legendary spiritual plant that grows in the underworld!"

Lin Fan clicked his tongue in amazement, his anticipation for the scene deep within the First Emperor's Mausoleum growing even stronger!

We've already discovered so many amazing sights before even entering the Underground Palace. What will we see if we go deeper?!

The plant leaves swayed in the breeze, and seemed to sway even more violently when people got closer.

Just as Zhou Chuan was about to step onto the Stone Bridge, countless plants suddenly grew rapidly, quickly sprouting flower buds. At the top of each plant grew a flower bud the size of a thumb.

Most unexpectedly, as these plants sprouted flower buds, their once lush green leaves withered rapidly and fell to the ground; countless plants perished!

Pop, pop, pop...

The sounds of bubbles being popped rang out one after another, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically. Then, they saw that the flower buds opened one by one, revealing plants that looked exactly the same but were completely different colors.
