Attempt

"It's been three days, a full three days! I have to give it a try!"

I spent a day learning Acupoint-Fixing Technique on my own, then listened to Hongku's explanation for most of the day, and then practiced Acupoint-Fixing Technique repeatedly for a day.

By now, Zhang Xuezhou felt he had done enough of his last-minute cramming.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue holding her, but rather that he had already been delayed in this world for more than five days.

This meant that Zhang Xuezhou didn't have much time left to remain conscious.

He clearly needs to guard against possible unforeseen circumstances, which means he needs as much time as possible.

If he were to lie in such a large tomb for seven days, Zhang Xuezhou was genuinely worried that something unexpected might happen while he was unconscious.

"What if the seventh day after King Liang's death has passed? He might conjure up some kind of traps or formations..."

After pondering for several seconds, Zhang Xuezhou finally began to explore possible ways to escape the tomb.

He wore the Ring of Control, maximizing his sensory abilities.

A faint blue light lingered in his hand after the feng shui site selection technique was performed.

Just like Dong Zhongshu's journey to Taipingyan to perform his magic, it would be difficult to find auspicious burial sites by searching all over the mountains and fields, but it would be much easier to do such a thing if one was within the range of an auspicious burial site.

"It's right below these five big flags!"

Holding the tracking light formed by the Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou traveled all over the tomb. When he returned to the center of the main hall, he realized that the blue light in his palm was no longer under his control.

He loosened his right hand, and the blue light, like the positive pole of a magnet touching the negative pole, shot into the center of the array flag in a flash.

That position was exactly where King Liang had been sitting while performing his magic.

In this tomb, Zhang Xuezhou had no greed for gold, silver, or jade, and he also showed respect for the body of the Liang King, refraining from arbitrarily searching his body.

This wasn't because Zhang Xuezhou was of high moral character, but because he was worried that messing around would trigger something.

Right now, these five flags clearly need to be removed.

He glanced at the five red bird flags, and only after circling them twice did he carefully begin to pull them down.

Several streams of Yellow Spring water gushed out from under the flagpole, but were repelled by the array power attached to the Ring of Control when they touched his body.

Golden, mottled light then rose up, and Zhang Xuezhou felt a strange fragrance waft over, accompanied by an extremely cold aura.

As his physical Law Power rapidly recovered, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"It's Spiritual Qi!"

The earth's energy required to construct the great tomb was clearly extremely suitable for practicing Incantation Technique, which is probably why King Liang was able to draw the waters of the Yellow Springs here.

Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts raced through his mind, and then he used the flagpole to pry open the stone floorboards.

Compared to the tightly sealed walls of the tomb, the palace floor tiles were clearly an anomaly, which explains why the battle flags could be inserted into them.

But Zhang Xuezhou noticed that as the array flags were pulled out, the floor tiles of this palace seemed to be filled with glue, and the gaps began to gradually close up.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to speed up the process of prying up the floor tiles.

"It must be that the spell array set up by King Liang temporarily stabilized the Mountain and River Eternal Stability Array, causing the anomaly in this area."

Even after belatedly discovering some related information, Zhang Xuezhou remained focused and alert.

Holding an iron flagpole, he used the lever principle to expedite the location of the earth's vein.

Once the two millstone-sized floor tiles were removed, Zhang Xuezhou could see 108 golden half-ounce coins arranged in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams pattern underneath.

After confirming several times that these half-ounce coins belonged to the Liang Wang Curse Formation, Zhang Xuezhou cleaned them up.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

After removing the 108 golden half-ounce coins representing the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Zhang Xuezhou heard a hissing sound coming from underground.

It sounded as if someone hissed and gasped, or as if a giant snake was breathing heavily.

He felt a chill run down his spine. After glancing at the coffin of the Liang King, he pried down again, finding that the structure below was still made of stone.

The Everlasting Mountains and Rivers Formation obviously couldn't be made of stone; it must have a corresponding array base.

If the floor tiles on top are not connected, the corresponding layout below can be dug out.

After removing dozens of floor tiles, Zhang Xuezhou dug out three skulls that had corroded to the point where the flesh had disappeared.

"Crunch, crunch!"

It seems to have conceived a strange life form, as the three skull teeth can move up and down as if biting.

"If you want to bite, then bite Prince Liang!"

The Yin-Yang School's final stage of cultivation techniques involved sacrificial practices, and King Liang's "Eternal Mountain and River Formation" clearly also involved corresponding sacrifices.

Zhang Xuezhou tossed the skull aside in a huff and casually tossed it into the Liang King's coffin.

As Zhang Xuezhou continued to plane downwards, he felt the texture of the wooden parts in his hands.

"It seems that the Dragon-Subduing Wood, inserted into the earth's veins, is the source of power needed to support the Great Array that stabilizes mountains and rivers forever!"

The formations in this world contain all sorts of obscure and difficult-to-understand names, but if you convert them into modern concepts, the underlying principles become much simpler.

Earth vein energy is equivalent to a special force generated by the earth's crust, while Principle are a rather special machine that includes connections between circuits.

The Dragon-Subduing Wood before us undoubtedly belongs to the head of the link.

As long as one is not afraid of death, destroying or uprooting this Dragon-Subduing Wood may cause the Mountain and River Eternal Solidification Formation to stall or even stop.

"This is similar to pulling out a high-voltage power line with bare hands, or even more dangerous!"

Compared to similar risks, Zhang Xuezhou lost the idea of destroying the Dragon-Subduing Wood.

He muttered to himself, continuously Acupoint-Fixing Technique and tapping his fingers to apply pressure to acupoints.

"Acupoint-Fixing Technique should be considered as covering a temporary insulating layer!"

Just like electrical circuit operation may seem to involve only connecting positive and negative terminals, without sufficient knowledge and an electrician's certificate, ordinary people really wouldn't dare to touch large equipment like transformers; at most, they might change a light bulb at home.

Without knowledge of the corresponding formations in Yin-Yang School, even if one is lucky enough to discover the location of the earth veins, it is extremely easy to trigger risks, and one might lose their life while digging.

"Fortunately, this formation only operated for a few days!"

With five large flags planted, the paving stones were not yet joined together, and the guardians of the Everlasting Mountain and River Formation could only rely on their teeth to bite. Zhang Xuezhou had undoubtedly eliminated too many risks.

A Acupoint-Fixing Technique was applied, and he quickly climbed out of the deep pit dug in the main hall.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the red bird flag used as a lever, then pulled the flag up.

He rushed towards the entrance to the tomb as fast as the wind.

"Fossilization!"

As stone chips fell, the previously quickly repaired stone wall did not grow any new material, but instead remained untouched as Zhang Xuezhou continued to chip away at it.

Several fossilization techniques were unleashed, and Zhang Xuezhou also began to use his Deer-Slaying Blade.

The Deer-Slaying Blade can cut through iron like mud and even stone with ease. Its only drawback is that it wears out very quickly and may even break.

Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to use it in conjunction with the flagpole of the large flag.

"This stone wall is probably at least ten feet thick; how are we supposed to dig through it?!"

Let alone digging a passage in a rock face in three to five minutes, it might not even be possible to dig it out in thirty to fifty minutes.

Zhang Xuezhou tapped on the stone wall and felt a chill run down his spine.

He wielded his Deer-Slaying Blade swiftly, constantly chipping away at the bluestone.

He couldn't care less about the damage to this rare and precious blade; all he wanted was to crawl out of the hole.

"I must have overlooked something!"

Even with a hole less than fifty centimeters deep, about the size of a human body, Zhang Xuezhou could already see the stone wall slowly emerging.

This forced him to rush back to the main hall, preparing to release the Acupoint-Fixing Technique again to temporarily halt the operation of the Mountain and River Eternal Solidification Array.

But in the rush of the operation, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had overlooked some things.
