There were all sorts of vines growing at the edge of the crater. Fragments of walls could be seen, and in some places, metal fragments could be seen.
The bottom of the pit was not steep, but had small hills that rose and fell. Vines interweaved, forming a dark and deep area.
Lin Yue felt it carefully, and his expression became solemn, the aura that his Martial Soul felt, was exactly at the bottom of the pit!
"Let's go down and take a look."
Hearing that Lin Yue wanted to go down, Yu Ruyi hurriedly reminded him, "There might be an ancient Demonic Beast inside, you better throw something down there first to test it."
Lin Yue saw that there was a rock that was as tall as a person nearby, so he walked over with both hands raised up, looked at the direction, and smashed into the deepest part of the rock.
"Howl ~"
Under Lin Yue's powerful arm strength, the boulder streaked across the crater like a meteor. After half an incense's time, a loud explosion came from below.
Lin Yue and Yu Ruyi listened carefully. The bottom of the pit was completely empty, other than the vines rustling in the wind, there were no sounds of Demonic Beast roaring at all.
"No problem."
Lin Yue immediately followed the side of the hole and grabbed a thick and sturdy vine, crawling towards the countryside.
From the huge boulder that was smashed in, one could tell that the bottom of the crater should be extremely deep, at least more than twenty thousand meters deep. Lin Yue crawled along the wall of the hole for nearly two hours before he could faintly see the scene below.
There was a small hill protruding out of the hole. Lin Yue grabbed onto the vines and stepped onto the cave wall with all his might, borrowing the force to swing himself towards the hill.
When the vine was at its highest point, he let go and flew straight across the air for hundreds of meters before heavily landing on the top of the hill with a bang.
The entire small hill was shaken to the point where dust was flying everywhere. The place where Lin Yue had flown to was shattered within a radius of a few dozen meters.
He stood up and looked at the mound beneath his feet. The doubt in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, and he felt that it was extremely inconceivable.
It was unknown if it was because there were no more ancient trees, but the numerous demonic creatures that appeared along the way had also disappeared.
Yu Ruyi got down from Lin Yue's body and curiously looked at the darkness beneath the hill. Her eyes flashed with a bright light, and she started to think about something.
"This place is so strange. It's clearly a huge pit, yet there's a mound at the bottom. Could it be that the soil above was scraped off, causing this?"
Yu Ruyi looked around. Other than the hills beneath their feet, there were dozens of others standing at the bottom of the crater. It was indeed strange.
Lin Yue frowned and stared for a moment, he did not know what was going on, so he just put away his doubts and said indifferently: "Let's go down to the bottom to take a look."
The two of them descended the hill, and after walking for another hour, they finally reached the bottom.
This place was like a huge maze. Once they reached the bottom, their vision would be blocked by hills of all sizes, making it difficult to determine their direction.
Fortunately, Lin Yue possessed the Ten-direction Spirit Fox's sensing ability, so he was extremely accurate in controlling the direction. He had already memorized the general shape, location, and distance of the hills, so he wouldn't get lost easily.
After walking forward for a while, metal fragments began to appear in their vision. These fragments scattered all around the barren hill and some were buried underground. The distribution was messy without any pattern.
Lin Yue picked up a piece, and just as he held it in his hand, the piece of debris suddenly disintegrated into dust, and completely lost its original appearance.
"Hm!?"
Lin Yue was startled, he bent down and picked it up again, but that fragment was still turned into dust, as if he was performing a magic trick.
These metallic fragments had already existed for god knows how many years. With just a slight movement by Lin Yue, they would immediately shatter to pieces!
Lin Yue looked at his surroundings carefully. The Ten-direction Spirit Fox's power had allowed him to reconstruct his mind to have the appearance of a Spirit Sword.
Immediately, Lin Yue understood that the metal pieces on the ground were actually the remains of a Spirit Sword!
Spirit Sword! Even the lowest level entry level Spirit Weapon s were made of ten times stronger than normal iron!
The Wind Erosion ability that can resist is super strong, it can at least exist in perfect condition for hundreds of years!
Looks like these Spirit Sword were indeed all items from the Primordial Era.
Lin Yue's heart trembled, to think that he would actually find Spirit Weapon fragments here, that meant, this kind of place did indeed have Ancient Humans.
In this huge pit, there might really be treasures!
Thinking to here, Lin Yue became extremely excited. He continued to head deeper into the pit, and unknowingly, the ground began to tilt, forming a slope that extended deeper and deeper into the pit.
Yu Ruyi looked at the obvious turn of the road, and said softly: "Where does this path lead to? Lin Yue, do you really sense the existence of Mixed-element Stone? "
"It should be here! If there are no Mixed-element Stone s, there will definitely be other treasures as well! "Lin Yue turned around and said.
However, when he glanced into the distance from the corner of his eyes, he was suddenly startled. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yu Ruyi felt the change in Lin Yue's expression and turned to look curiously.
Only at this moment did she realize that the mountain which had seemed like a maze had already been left behind.
When they were far away from the hill, their vision widened, and they finally saw the real shape of the hill.
How was that a hill? It was clearly a grave!
These large tombs faced south, the front was relatively low, and the back was relatively high. From both sides, the tombs gradually grew larger, and the one in the middle was the most majestic, at least several hundred zhang in height. Its shape was also the most obvious, and on the wall facing them, there were a few words faintly carved.
"The Emperor's Mourning, buried in Mount Ziggy, nourished by the earth, will last for millions of years."
Because of the erosion of the years of rain and wind, these words were already mottled beyond recognition. However, because this mausoleum mound was truly too large, one could still recognize its original appearance simply from its blurry outline.
This was really a huge tomb!
Yu Ruyi trembled from the fear and muttered: "Lin Yue, who is buried inside? "This tomb is so big!?"
Lin Yue's heart was also extremely shaken. He pointed to the two words at the very top and said in a heavy voice, "Emperor's Mourning … The one within this tomb should be a Monarch from a certain era's dynasty. The other smaller tomb should be his entourage. "
"To be able to do this, the Pan'gu Continent should only be comparable to the Monarchs of the three great dukes. This mountain range is also within the boundaries of the Eastern Tang, is it some kind of Monarch within the Eastern Tang Palace?"
Lin Yue's eyes flashed, wanting to tell him the difference between the Ancient Humans and the humans now, but whether or not he was an enemy or a friend, he swallowed his words back.
"This mountain was originally called Mount Ziggy during that era, and the reason why this tomb is buried here is because there is an earth vein beneath it … The people of that era are truly tyrannical, they are actually able to predict the location of the lode! "
Lin Yue turned around and looked towards the direction that the passage led to. With a bright gaze, he said softly, "The Earth Vein contains a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, it would be extremely beneficial if it could even absorb a little. I never thought that I would actually find an Earth Vein! "I'm really lucky!"
