Zhang Chen felt he had seen the truth, and all the information was connected, forming a clear picture in his mind.
Perhaps it was countless years ago when an earthquake occurred here. Even the True Dragon Tomb, laid out with the great power of the Ancient Divine People, couldn’t withstand the might of Heaven and Earth. Not only was the True Dragon Tomb torn away from the Empress Tomb, but it also cracked open, causing Dragon Qi to leak, with its fortune absorbed by the Earth Vein. Even the Empress Tomb was torn apart.
The crack before them was caused by the earth’s rupture, leading directly to one of the chambers of the Empress Tomb. The Tier Twelve object emitting light inside should be the Empress’s burial goods. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Due to that earthquake, countless experts were drawn here to investigate, and the owner of that skeleton was likely the first to arrive. Or perhaps the first to discover the Tier Twelve Mysterious object was there, but due to the Feng Shui Grand Array or some other reason, he could only watch the Tier Twelve Mysterious object right in front of him but couldn’t take it out.
Thus, he came up with a plan, secretly carving out a stone chamber outside as a disguise, using two extremely precious scrolls and the mystery of the Feng Shui Grand Array to conceal the stone chamber inside.
Later, the Qingqiu Race came to hide here, treating the "White Fox Devouring the Moon" engraved on the wall as a Supreme Treasure.
Yet, the owner of the skeleton, for some unknown reason, didn’t extract the Tier Twelve Mysterious object even until death.
"It should be something ," Zhang Chen had roughly sorted out the thread in his mind, secretly surprised. He never thought he would unintentionally discover the Empress Tomb’s location.
He thought the Empress Tomb had vanished with the passage of time, but who would have known it still existed, merely shielded by the Feng Shui Grand Array.
"Tier Twelve Mysterious object! I never thought Qingqiu Nannan would encounter the Tier Twelve Mysterious object in my lifetime," Nannan Ancestor’s voice was full of emotion.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Fox Spirit: "You’re already dead. What do you mean by ’in your lifetime’?"
The Fox Maiden Nannan rolled her eyes at Zhang Chen, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction: "You’re spoiling the mood! Although I’m dead, as long as you free me, I can continue reincarnating and possessing bodies. In eighteen years, I’ll become a fine fox again."
"Go retrieve that Tier Twelve Mysterious object," Zhang Chen instructed.
The stone wall’s crack was only as wide as a palm, about a hundred meters from him, while his Water Control Technique’s range was only fifty meters, meaning his idea of using the water flow to extract it was impossible.
A narrow crack over a hundred meters long, even with explosives, it would be extremely difficult to blast a passage open. Fortunately, the Fox Spirit could squeeze through the crack in front of them.
The Fox Immortal Nannan’s eyes lit up, and without a word, she turned into a wisp of green smoke, slipping through the crack, attempting to approach the Tier Twelve Mysterious object.
However, as soon as the Fox Immortal Nannan entered the crack, endless mist emerged out of nowhere within. Zhang Chen saw the green smoke, which was the Fox Immortal Nannan, constantly dashing and darting around in the crevice but unable to get closer to the mysterious object at all.
It seemed as if the mist had some special magic, causing the Fox Spirit to keep going in circles without nearing the secret chamber even a little.
Zhang Chen watched the green smoke repeatedly crash back and forth in the crevice, hearing pitiful screams. He quickly used a skill, and the Fox Immortal Nannan disappeared in the mist, transformed into a rune appearing in Zhang Chen’s palm. Then, the green smoke twisted, turning into a White Fox Maiden standing beside Zhang Chen, bruised and battered.
"Damn it! I said, how could such a benefit come to us? Turns out there’s the power of a Feng Shui Grand Array blocking the way. Luckily you pulled me out, or I’d be finished this time!" The Fox Immortal Nannan cursed furiously: "I said, why would someone remain seated here despite discovering the Tier Twelve Mysterious object? Facing the Feng Shui Grand Array’s barrier, he could see the treasure but couldn’t approach it."
At this point, the Fox Immortal Nannan feared Zhang Chen, this bumpkin, didn’t know about the power of a Feng Shui Grand Array, so she explained: "The power of a Feng Shui Grand Array is, in fact, an application of the Power of the Earth Veins, or perhaps an application of the Power of Dragon Vein and Dragon Qi. It contains the power of fate, which is the nemesis of gods like us and a means for mortals to trap and kill gods! Some mortals with exceptional intelligence have mastered Feng Shui Dao; although they are mortals, they cannot be underestimated."
"Feng Shui Grand Array, huh?" Zhang Chen looked at the mist in the crevice, feeling a bit helpless: "Can a Feng Shui Grand Array really restrain the Power of the Soul?"
"Of course! A Feng Shui Grand Array involves the Earth’s magnetic field, most adept at restraining the Power of the Soul. It’s less effective against the physical body. However, the most powerful Feng Shui Grand Arrays are terrifyingly potent, and even a Tier Twelve Divine Being would need to retreat. You humans have a kind of people called Feng Shui Masters or Warlocks, who are particularly skilled in Feng Shui. Once they set up a Feng Shui Grand Array, they can slay a Tier Twelve Divine Being, even with mortal bodies."
"The Feng Shui Grand Array before us is at least a Tier Twelve existence. If I had a physical body, I might attempt to break in, but now I’m just a soul, leaving me at the array’s mercy," the Fox Spirit paced back and forth anxiously, looking even more urgent than Zhang Chen.
