In this underground shrine made up of subterranean building complexes, not only were there countless roads leading in all directions, but there were also buildings with all sorts of functions. From these buildings, Chen Mo could tell that Xu Shi had been someone who knew how to enjoy life. He had practically built himself a palace underground.
Chen Mo spent an entire day wandering through the place before finally visiting every corner. Not only were there many buildings, but there were also many people—though most of them were women.
Unfortunately, he did collect quite a few historical artifacts and things related to the Qin Dynasty and earlier. However, there was not the slightest trace of what he actually wanted to find.
Thinking back to what Xu Shi had said before he died, it seemed that if Chen Mo wanted to find those things, he would still have to search for them within that underground sect.
After returning to Xu Shi's meditation chamber, Chen Mo summoned the butler and had her prepare some food and other supplies for him. Then, he began secluded cultivation in the chamber.
He truly had no idea what he might encounter if he went down into the underground palace, especially that long, pitch-black passageway.
However, recalling Xu Shi's expression before his death and what Chen Mo himself had encountered at the Underground Dark River, he knew he still had to make proper preparations.
After his battle with Xu Shi, he had relatively few Talismans and Formation Bases left. In particular, he only had a handful of elementary Middle Stage Talismans remaining.
So Chen Mo needed to replenish them. He also needed to prepare some Auxiliary Talismans and the like, ensuring that he would have some protection if anything happened and would not regret being insufficiently prepared.
