"Whoosh"
Long Chen led the two of them and sped for a whole day and night. This uninhabited realm was vast; at Long Chen's speed, who knows how far he would have to fly in that day and night.
"We're almost here. Let's rest first. At times like this, we need to keep our composure." Long Chen said.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran nodded, both extremely excited, itching to go dig for treasure immediately, their heartbeats quickening. They needed to calm down.
Xia Chen began setting up the formation. After finishing, he rested for an hour. After a day and night of travel, Long Chen was very tired and needed rest to replenish his energy.
When Long Chen had rested enough, the three of them carefully approached their target, an inconspicuous valley, dilapidated and likely a sect ruin.
Xia Chen used the formation to observe for the entire time it takes to burn an incense stick, but found nothing unusual, so he began investigating underground.
Sure enough, there was a ripple underground. With formations supporting the surface, to be safe, the three continued to observe for a while before beginning to dive underground.
The three of them dived underground while keeping an eye on the movements outside. If anything unusual happened, they had to leave immediately.
It wasn't until the three of them burrowed thousands of miles underground that they arrived at an underground tomb. This was not a ruin, but indeed a tomb.
With Xia Chen present, the three easily opened the tomb gate and entered the ancient tomb.
"This isn't a real ancient tomb. The layout of the tomb isn't like this." Guo Ran couldn't help but say.
After all, both he and Xia Chen had spent some time with Mo Nian and had some understanding of the underground tombs, so the feng shui layout was completely different.
"The grand formation here isn't a protective formation, but rather an ordinary formation used to withstand the erosion of time. Moreover, its arrangement is extremely crude." Xia Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.
Even so, the three dared not let their guard down. They slowly walked deeper into the tomb, and soon another formation gate appeared ahead.
As he passed through the formation gate, even Long Chen's composure couldn't help but swallow hard.
The grand hall within ten thousand miles was almost completely covered with Chaos Spirit Stones. At that moment, Long Chen's mind buzzed and instantly went blank.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were no better off; the formation disk Xia Chen was holding almost fell from his hand.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Guo Ran couldn't help but pinch his own face hard, leaving it bruised and bruised. He was sure this wasn't a dream.
The Chaos Spirit Stones piled up like mountains, but the stones were extremely chaotic, with high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade all mixed together.
"Whoa, there's more to come." Xia Chen struggled to shift his gaze away from the pile of Chaos Spirit Stones and discovered that behind the Spirit Stone Mountain, there was another grand hall where divine light flickered.
The three of them went to another main hall and found that it was almost completely filled with divine materials.
"Oh my god, it's made big, completely successful." Guo Ran's voice was almost on the verge of tears, moved to tears.
All the divine materials here had been refined. Compared to them, the ones in his hands were simply trash. These materials didn't need to be refined to be forged into divine weapons directly.
"And more."
The three of them passed through the gap in the divine materials, and ahead stood a grand hall, filled with various light spheres about a foot in size arranged in a chaotic order.
Inside the orb were chunks of white bones, densely carved with text—clearly bone books. Without even looking, it was clear these were precious secret manuals.
That bone book was carved from the bones of immortal beings, sealed with divine stones to preserve their divinity.
Although Long Chen had obtained some secret manuals and bone books, he had never seen a divine stone that sealed bone books.
There were thousands of divine stones in total, like shrunken moons, quietly lying there.
"Someone's there."
Suddenly, Long Chen's expression changed drastically. With the Seven Absolute Sword in hand, he tore through the air with a single strike, stabbing toward a distant figure.
That figure was extremely concealed, with no aura at all. If Long Chen hadn't noticed even a trace of his clothes, he wouldn't have noticed at all.
"Whoosh!" Long Chen's
long sword slashed toward that figure. Suddenly, Long Chen was startled and quickly withdrew his strength. The shockwave shattered the divine stones, revealing the figure of an old man.
It was a human warrior, dressed in blue, with vacant eyes and a face filled with regret and unwillingness. He didn't move at all—he was actually a corpse.
"Dead?"
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were also startled, approaching the man with expressions full of shock and doubt.
"This is an immortal powerhouse, who has been dead for countless years." Long Chen said.
"But he doesn't have a single injury on his body." Xia Chen couldn't help but ask.
"He committed suicide." Long Chen said.
"Suicide?"
Long Chen slowly reached out his hand to reach out to the corpse. The corpse was sitting on the ground, holding a piece of white bone.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen grabbed the white bone, exerted a slight force, and took out the bone from the old man's hand. On it was inscribed:
"All dead, reaping what you sow. The human race ultimately died by your own hand. Greed is the greatest weakness of the human race, but in the end, it all comes to nothing. Pitiful and sorrowful." Ridiculous. When
Long Chen translated the text on it, Xia Chen and Guo Ran were stunned: "Who is this person?" "
It's very likely one of the traitors. The reason they betrayed the human race is because of the contents of this treasury.
They helped aliens kill their own kin, so there must be some agreement with them. But the aliens didn't keep their promises. Their goal was to wipe out all humans. They even renamed this place the Wasteland, which shows how much they hate humans.
Pitiful, pitiful, laughable—this description should be a form of self-mockery. Because of greed, they ultimately destroyed themselves. Long Chen looked at the man's expression and sighed.
"Are they really that foolish? Why cooperate with alien races? Xia Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
"As the saying goes, 'Trouble arises from a house and breaks the fortress.' We can make a bold hypothesis: in that era, in the Myriad Spirits Realm, humans were supreme and submissive, only able to breathe under the feet of humans. What would humans have done then?" Long Chen asked.
"There will be internal strife,"
Xia Chen said without hesitation.
"Internal strife at least splits into two factions. If the two factions are evenly matched, then whoever wins over the alien races will gain an absolute advantage.
Then the human race fought among themselves, suffering severe losses, while the alien races rose up violently, annihilating the human race in one fell swoop and dominating the world.
As for the specifics, no one knows, but judging from the current situation, even if it's not accurate, it's likely not far off!
Two major factions, one faction destroyed. For this person to collect so many treasures, he must have betrayed the human race and colluded with the aliensThe existence of the knot is here, and the human race plays with fire to burn themselves. This last sentence truly reflects the truth. Long Chen sighed.
"This person must have fled here, not daring to leave, filled with regret, and thus took his own life. Alas! How sad, how lamentable! Xia Chen looked at the man's corpse and couldn't help but sigh.
"Not bad, at least we can guard a pile of treasures, so it's not a loss." Guo Ran curled his lips and said, not feeling sentimental; his eyes only cared about those treasures.
The three of them checked the area again. After finding nothing unusual except for this corpse, they immediately looted all the treasures and rushed out of the ground. Xia Chen immediately activated the formation disk and left.
