"Whoosh..."
Herr Ningshuang and a group of people rushed into the corridor, and the eyes of a group of young masters couldn’t get enough. All the young ladies were soaked, their clothes clinging to their bodies, looking quite alluring.
However, as the young ladies rushed in, they released True Yuan to evaporate the moisture. The delightful sight quickly disappeared, leaving some young masters feeling regretful, as they hadn’t seen enough.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Having finally seized the opportunity, Herr Ningshuang dared not waste it and ran ahead of everyone.
The corridor suddenly twisted, and another door easily opened with a black hole inside, where nothing was clear.
Herr Ningshuang produced a long whip, her warrior heritage symbol on her forehead gleaming brightly, and stepped into the door without hesitation.
Ding Fan, wearing a Ghost Mask, followed in last. As he rushed through the door, he felt a flash of white light and a slight dizziness. When he opened his eyes and looked around, he was utterly stunned.
He appeared in a wilderness, unable to see anyone from Tianmu Sea. Rubbing his eyes, he thought he was mistaken, but after searching around, he realized he had been transported to a desolate mountain area.
"Did we get transported out?"
Ding Fan couldn’t figure it out, pondering for a while, and ventured off to explore. When he reached the mountaintop, he spotted a white figure in the distance?
This person looked familiar, so Ding Fan rushed over without thinking. But this figure hid behind an ancient tree, only to reveal herself when Ding Fan was about to reach her. Unexpectedly, it was Herr Ningshuang.
"Miss Ningshuang, where did the others go? Are we transported out?"
Ding Fan asked. Herr Ningshuang glanced at the sky, "We’re still in the Imperial Tomb; the others should be on the nearby mountains." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"How is this possible?"
Ding Fan was greatly astonished. The Tomb of Emperor Yelang is supposed to be a grave, but now it seemed like they were outside; how could they still be within the Imperial Tomb?
"Let’s walk and talk."
Herr Ningshuang, running while explaining to Ding Fan, said, "The mound beneath the dragon is not just a tomb; it’s likely an alternate world, refined by the Night Wolf Emperor. This place is vast, with no edges."
"An alternate world!"
Ding Fan thought that there were many alternate worlds in this world, some refined by powerful beings, known as secret worlds.
Indeed, this Imperial Tomb is a mystery. Otherwise, how could it be so vast? The maze was already enormous.
"Look at the sky; there’s no sun here, but it’s still very bright. The Spiritual Energy here is denser than outside, so it must be a secret world."
Herr Ningshuang said again. Ding Fan looked up and completely trusted Herr Ningshuang’s judgment. He asked no more and quickened his pace because, being still in the Imperial Tomb, they needed to find the rest of the Tianmu Sea people first.
"Let’s head in that direction."
Herr Ningshuang saw several eyes suddenly turn their way. Ding Fan followed her pointing direction and vaguely saw a mountain soaring into the clouds. He nodded; this mountain was so unique, the people from Tianmu Sea would surely congregate there.
"Miss Li!"
Ding Fan saw someone in the distance shouting, and a young lady over there was startled. Seeing Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang, she became elated and rushed toward them.
"Ding Fan, look at that mountain peak."
Herr Ningshuang didn’t look at Miss Li, instead pointing at the distant towering peak and exclaimed.
Ding Fan looked over there, his eyes gradually widening. He couldn’t see it clearly from afar, but now began to vaguely discern it.
He saw something hanging on the mountaintop. Upon closer look, he discovered it was a giant black coffin.
Estimates put the coffin at least ten meters long, two meters high, and two meters wide, secured by four Mysterious Iron Chains. Without them, it seemed the black coffin might just soar into the air.
"The Emperor’s Coffin of Night Wolf Emperor!"
Ding Fan’s eyes shone like stars. Such a massive coffin, such a dominating scene, such magnificent style, could only belong to the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin.
With the Night Wolf Emperor’s remains on this mountain’s summit, his endless treasure must also be atop. Even acquiring a small portion of it might enrich one’s latter half of life boundlessly.
"Let’s go!"
Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang were stunned for a moment, then ran toward the mountain, not caring from which side Miss Li was running.
This mountain peak soared into the sky, at least nearly six thousand meters high. With no other tall mountains nearby, it looked like a king standing among kneeling subjects. The closer they got, the clearer the giant coffin suspended at the peak became, a peculiar aura emanating from the ancient black coffin, thrilling Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang.
The cultivation of the Night Wolf Emperor was at the top of Ninth Level of the Divine Realm, unifying the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm. How powerful should his treasures be? Mighty Martial Skills, unrivaled Divine Weapons and Battle Armors, rare Spiritual Materials; thinking of these things, Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang’s pace became even quicker.
The two ran towards the mountain, observing it, and found many paths on it. All stone stairs were built with Qing Shi, extending straight to the mountainside, with at least ten thousand stone steps.
But, around halfway up, there weren’t as many paths. Dozens of stone steps turned into a Winding Mountain Road, spiraling up like a dragon, finally coiling to the summit.
Herr Ningshuang didn’t pause a bit, leading ahead, stepping onto the Qing Shi steps. Suddenly, a white glow flashed on the Qing Shi steps, and iron spikes shot out, scaring Herr Ningshuang into quickly dodging.
"Seems it’s hard to climb up to the summit."
Ding Fan glanced at Miss Li, whose face was pale with fright; these stone steps had many prohibitions, a misstep might cost one’s life.
"Li Linger, wait at the foot of the mountain."
This Miss Li only had a Realm of Third Level in the Divine Realm, with almost no combat experience. Herr Ningshuang commanded her, looking at her pale face. Miss Li nodded; she didn’t want to take risks either. Though treasures were great, they needed to be alive to enjoy them.
"Ding Fan, are you going?" Herr Ningshuang’s gaze turned to Ding Fan, who smiled lightly, "Sirius, come out and scout the path!"
"Awoo..."
Sirius flew out from Ding Fan’s arms, sniffing with its nose, and dashed onto the steps.
"Awoo..."
Sirius leaped upon the Level Five stone steps, proudly turned around, and called out to Ding Fan. Ding Fan gave a thumbs-up and said to Herr Ningshuang, "Follow me."
With that, he gently leaped, jumping directly onto the fifth step without triggering any mechanism. It seemed like that step wasn’t trapped.
"Whoosh!"
Herr Ningshuang followed suit, curiously looking at Sirius, "Ding Fan, what breed is this little beast of yours, able to detect mechanisms?"
Ding Fan smiled faintly, saying nothing, and said to Sirius, "Sirius, continue exploring the road, and be careful."
"Awoo..."
Sirius’s eyes held an arrogant glint, with a little leap, stepped up four more steps. Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang hurriedly jumped up to follow.
