The mist spread forward. Chen Luo, who had originally been standing amid it, seemed to liquefy, spreading along the tree roots toward the inside of the tomb. The roots covering the Emperor Tomb began to squirm rapidly, making rustling sounds.
The Old Locust Tree Spirit detected the disturbance and rapidly approached from this direction.
Chen Luo extended his index finger and flicked it at one bulging mass of roots. The spiritual light on his finger vanished, and the root surface fell still. Then, as though it had encountered a cat, it rapidly scattered in all directions. In moments, it disappeared, revealing the restricted stone wall that had been concealed beneath the roots.
The First Forbidden Zone was a great mountain.
Dense restrictions encircled the mountain's surface. Like a fishing net, they linked the entire Emperor Tomb together.
Clang!!
Chen Luo's mist-transformed body struck the Emperor Tomb with a crisp ring. His advance was halted, and he reassembled his form at the edge of the stone wall.
"Why is the robber's tunnel gone?"
He pressed his palm against the stone wall, and an icy sensation fed back to him.
Restriction after restriction, like fishing nets, lit up beneath the rock. These restrictions seemed to possess lives of their own, blocking every living thing that might enter the Emperor Tomb.
Immortal Restriction, Upper Nine Yang Restriction.
Within the External Brain, the brains proficient in restrictions swiftly emerged and began deriving this restriction based on their own understanding. But this derivation was clearly a futile effort.
The Emperor Tomb's restrictions were far too complex for cultivators of the Lower Realm to break. Although the brains Chen Luo had collected were all extraordinary, trying to break the Emperor Tomb's Immortal Restriction was no different from a fool talking in his sleep.
