“A mausoleum?” The little packrat tilted its head as if it was thinking about what a mausoleum was.
“When a person dies, they’ll be stored in a coffin here.” Yun Ran gave her a simple explanation of the imperial mausoleum.
The little packrat nodded her little head in confusion.
On the other side, Bai Wan had already walked towards the huge pit. She needed to quickly determine if the earthquake was just an accident.
“Wanwan, what are you looking for?”
Xuanyuan Yu saw her holding a lighter in the ruins of the collapsed mausoleum. She frowned anxiously as if she was looking for something.
Bai Wan was looking for a rock. To be precise, it was not an ordinary rock.
It was a core of an ancient array.
The Formation Eye was in the Imperial Mausoleum of the East Continent. Her mother had told her that the Formation Eye concerned the survival of the entire Xuanxia Continent and the five nations.
At the same time, her mother had also told her that the eye of the array was a Heavenly Stone that fell from the sky. It contained a very powerful energy. If someone destroyed the eye of the array, the power of the Heavenly Stone was enough to flatten the entire mountain and even affect the nearby cities.
What was even more terrifying was that once this formation core was destroyed, the very important barrier that existed between the Xuanxia Continent and the clouds would also be destroyed.
At that time, something terrifying would pass through the destroyed barrier and arrive at the Five Nations.
Her mother said that those terrifying things were enough to overturn the five countries. At that time, the five countries might become a purgatory.
The reason why Mother came to the Xuanxia Continent from the clouds was to protect this ancient array formation.
This ancient array formation had a total of five array cores.
The Imperial Mausoleum in the East Continent was just one of them.
Now that her mother was no longer around, she had to help her mother guard these array cores.
Therefore, when she heard that the center of the earthquake was the imperial mausoleum, she immediately wondered if the array core had been broken.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence.
Bai Wan searched for a long time but could not find the Heavenly Stone that her mother had mentioned.
She thought that it was probably buried deep in this huge pit.
Then it would probably be very difficult to find it in a short period of time.
Yun Ran also landed from the back of the flying demon beast with the little packrat in her arms. She was curious about what Bai Wan was looking for in the ruins of the Imperial Mausoleum ruins.
Mo Beiyuan’s injuries were almost healed. He could finally carry his little packrat.
He took the packrat from Yun Ran’s arms and asked her to check on Bai Wan.
The little packrat was in her father’s arms. Her small body was not obedient for a moment as She swayed its legs, “Daddy, it’s not fun here at all. It’s dark. Sweetcake doesn’t like it.”
No matter how heaven-defying the packrat’s talent was, she was still a child.
How could a little kid like a dark environment?
Mo Beiyuan leaned close to the packrat’s ear and whispered to her.
“Yes, Daddy doesn’t like it either, but your mother has something important to do and has to come here. Let’s protect her together, okay?”
“Okay, Sweetcake has to protect Mom with Daddy.”
The packrat was actually very easy to coax. In the blink of an eye, she started giggling.
Yun Ran came to Bai Wan’s side and asked her what she was looking for.
Bai Wan replied, “It’s a stone. It’s not an ordinary stone. It’s pure black and huge. It’s engraved with strange characters.”
She had never seen the Heavenly Stone of the Formation Eye with her own eyes, but her mother had personally told her that it was described like this.
Previously, Yun Ran had been quite curious about what Bai Wan was doing here. Now, she was still curious about the special meaning of the stone she was looking for.
Bai Wan knew that they were filled with doubts. “When we find it, I’ll tell you what it is.”
