First Emperor's Mausoleum, the End

Perhaps by absorbing a million or so Spirit Stone, the total amount of spiritual energy could be comparable to that of Spiritual Crystal, but here's the problem.

Which is more efficient: absorbing a million or more dollars, or absorbing one dollar?

For example, in a critical moment when the battery is low and urgently needs charging, can you slowly absorb Spirit Stone one by one?

Even if you directly smash a large area of Spirit Stone and frantically absorb them, the efficiency is far less than that of directly absorbing a single Spiritual Crystal.

Therefore, the spiritual energy within Spiritual Crystal might only be equivalent to a few hundred thousand ordinary Spirit Stone, but this is something that low-level cultivators are not qualified to use.

It's usually the top players who have Celestial Platform Third Order who prepare a few pieces for themselves, just in case!

Even in the Cultivation World, it's a rare find, let alone on Earth!

After confirming that the Formation Core was the Spiritual Crystal, Lin·Purple Firmament couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. "It seems that Earth was once much more glorious than I imagined."

"A planet that seems far smaller than the Eastern Wasteland actually has Spiritual Crystal. Does this prove that Earth also had such a super Spirit Stone vein back then?"

"If there is a super Spirit Stone vein, it should be enough to produce at least several high-level Immortal Platform experts?"

"So, where did these people go?!"

That's strange!

Lin·Purple Firmament frowned.

She just couldn't figure these things out.

First of all, the Earth is really small.

Of course, the Earth is incredibly vast for ordinary people, but for cultivators... they don't need to have invincible cultivation. As long as they are above the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, they can master the method of teleportation through cultivation.

By then, teleportation will be so easy that you can travel from one side of the Earth to the other.

Is such a planet big?!

Yet, on this very planet, there once existed top-tier Spirit Stone veins, and perhaps even several high-level Immortals, or even True Immortals, emerged?!

Although Lin·Purple Firmament had never met these 'powerful beings,' calculating the spiritual energy content of Earth back then using Spiritual Crystal was enough to reveal many issues.

So, where did these people go?

Why did the Earth become less powerful more than two thousand years ago, and even gradually deplete its spiritual energy?

Have they all already left?

But then another problem arises!

If all those powerful beings have left, how could the Spiritual Crystal in front of us have been left on Earth? These are extremely useful even to those who have reached the Celestial Platform Third Order.

Did you get it from the Cultivation World outside Earth or other cultivation worlds?

Then another question arises.

Based on these reliefs, the First Emperor was just an ordinary person before he consumed the ' Immortal Pill '. What merit did he possess to obtain the Spiritual Crystal?

Does he have a highly capable subordinate?

The question remains: just how powerful are the subordinates of ordinary people? How could they possibly bring back Spiritual Crystal from Outer Territory?

If he was so powerful, why would he submit to the First Emperor?

Personal charm?

Surely the First Emperor couldn't have been a pyramid scheme leader, could he?

He would frequently say things like "Applause if you understand," and the cultivators at the time were very "simple and honest," completely unsuspecting, and were brainwashed by the First Emperor.

It's impossible no matter how you look at it!

There are too many mysteries surrounding this, making it difficult for Lin·Purple Firmament to understand at this moment.

Fortunately, at that moment, Zhou Chuan's voice came through the walkie-talkie in Old Chen's hand. "Old Chen, we've all come out."

"Get back!"

Lin·Purple Firmament spoke.

"You all need to step back," Old Chen repeated. "By the way, how far?"

"A hundred feet away."

"Three hundred meters away!" Old Chen nodded and then spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Okay, we'll leave right away."

Underground Palace.

Zhou Chuan led his group to retreat quickly, and Liu Gang also called on the people from the Resident Happiness Living Department to retreat rapidly, while closely protecting Zhou Chuan and his group.

As for whether it's 'protection' or 'care'... is there a difference?

After retreating more than 300 meters, they gradually stopped, but Liu Gang still felt it was not safe and said directly, "Retreat another 200 meters!"

"I always felt that the commotion would be quite big!"

"...good!"

Zhou Chuan paused for a moment, then led his men away again.

They didn't stop until they had retreated about 500 meters, and then informed Old Chen via walkie-talkie.

The news has spread.

Looking at the shadows of the Underground Palace in the distance, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas!"

"What a pity, a place like the First Emperor's Mausoleum will become history in less than a day..."

"What a pity!"

He beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gang's gaze remained firm, and he casually replied, "The past certainly has research value, but the future is our destiny!"

"For a better future, what does it matter if an empty underground Underground Palace is destroyed?"

"Besides, you've already recorded everything that needed to be recorded, haven't you?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chuan remained silent.

He can still distinguish whether to focus more on the past or the future.

But as someone who has dedicated most of his life to archaeology, it's impossible for him to feel comfortable about something like this.

Inside the coffin.

Old Chen stuffed the walkie-talkie into his pocket. "Alright, I'll break the formation right now!"

"I must say, these two formations are actually quite interesting..."

As he worked, he said to Lin·Purple Firmament, "I don't know the names of the formations, but based on their effects, I call them ' Suspension Formation ' and 'Stabilization Formation'."

"The Suspension Formation can make the Azure Heavens, the 'Sea of Stars,' the coffin, the Sky Ladder, and other structures float in the air."

"The Stabilization Formation has ensured that even after more than two thousand years, this Underground Palace has never collapsed or developed any structural problems!"

"It even hides an effect similar to a ' Xumi Mustard Seed,' if I could figure it out..."

Old Chen's lips curled into a smile, his hands paused slightly as he looked at Lin·Purple Firmament: "Tell me, can I inscribe these two formations on my body?"

"If that's possible, then can I 'levitate' on my own? That is, can I fly on my own, even if my cultivation level hasn't reached that point!"

"At the same time, will my physical body remain stable even after thousands of years? Or, can I possess some of the abilities that make a mountain smaller than a mustard seed, such as making my body bigger or smaller? These are not abilities that cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, or even Golden Core stages possess, are they?"

"If you can..."

Old Chen was quite excited.

He found these formations very interesting, but at the same time, he was unsure whether they would actually work!

Although they are all about 'cultivating immortality' or 'cultivating truth'.

From what Old Chen has learned so far, the formations that ' Lin Fan ' gave him are somewhat different from the formations in the First Emperor's Mausoleum... quite obviously.

However, he didn't speculate that these formations came from two different worlds. Instead, he felt that they were likely from two different 'sects' or that their 'systems' had some differences.

So, can formations from other systems be inscribed on one's body?

Lin·Purple Firmament was momentarily speechless upon hearing this. "..."

"Should... be okay?"

"However, you must be quite confident before you can inscribe these formations on your body, otherwise, if any problems arise, it could be a big trouble."

"Definitely."

Old Chen grinned. "I took pictures of everything. Although I only took pictures of the area around the core, I took detailed pictures of the entire Underground Palace and the Resident Happiness Living Department more than once."

"Once this is all done, I'll go back and study it carefully!"

"Now... you'd better be ready."

He shook his head. "Although I am considered to Entering Dao, I only have a pitiful Spirit Gathering Array on me. Once the array is broken, the Underground Palace will definitely collapse instantly. I hope I won't be crushed to death."

"Although the feng shui of the First Emperor's Mausoleum is definitely excellent, I haven't lived enough yet..."

"..."

Lin·Purple Firmament almost laughed, "Don't worry, you won't die."

She was both amused and exasperated.

That Old Chen really loves to joke around.

At this point, why bring up feng shui issues...?

But seriously, is the feng shui here really good?

Logically speaking, it should be good, since the First Emperor had many talented people under his command. Although there are no detailed records, they certainly wouldn't be bad.

But here's the problem: no matter how good the feng shui is, the grave will still be dug up, right?

Rumble!

While pondering.

The formation was broken by Old Chen, and the entire Underground Palace began to shake instantly. The Giant Coffin crashed down, the countless 'stars' disappeared, and the once amazing Sky Ladder also fell down one after another.

The Heaven Collapsing and Earth Splitting!

It felt as if the sky had collapsed at that moment.

"Walk!"

Lin·Purple Firmament remained expressionless, wrapped Old Chen in her True Essence, grabbed the Spiritual Crystal with one hand, and then purple energy spread out!

Bang!

The falling Giant Coffin suddenly stopped in mid-air, then was enveloped by purple energy, flipped over, and placed Lin·Purple Firmament and Old Chen inside.

"Rise!!!"

With a shout, Lin·Purple Firmament pushed his True Essence to its limit!

The Giant Coffin was heavy, but not to the point that Lin·Purple Firmament couldn't move it. The problem was that a lot of soil and rocks were falling on top of it.

Clang, clang, clang!!!

A series of dull thuds rang out, and Old Chen was so shaken that he felt dizzy. Lin·Purple Firmament clearly felt the Giant Coffin getting heavier and heavier.

A sweep of Divine Sense revealed that a large amount of heavy earth and rocks were falling from the sky, crashing directly onto the coffin. At the same time, more and more of them were falling, growing heavier and heavier...

Cover your ears!

Lin·Purple Firmament spoke.

Old Chen was already dizzy and lightheaded, so he immediately obeyed and covered his ears.

"Let's go!"

At that moment, Lin·Purple Firmament's right fist shone with golden light, and then...

When!!!!

Whoosh!

The Giant Coffin shot into the sky, breaking through the 'collapse' obstacle!

Lin·Purple Firmament then wrapped Old Chen with her True Essence and followed closely beneath the Giant Coffin, soaring into the sky.

"It collapsed!"

Zhou Chuan watched as the mountain in front of him suddenly collapsed, and felt his heart stop for a moment.

However, Liu Gang ignored him, his eyes fixed on the area billowing with smoke and dust. "Surely nothing's wrong with that person?"

Bang!

The thought had only just arisen.

Liu Gang then saw that the mountain that was rapidly collapsing had actually 'exploded'!

Then, a huge coffin shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, purple aura spread out, and even though it was obscured by billowing dust, it was still dazzling.

"Really..."

"I wonder when I'll become this strong?"

Liu Gang was very much looking forward to it.
