#187 - Zhaoyao Mountain recorded in the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter
Watching Zhong Xiang collapse, Zhang Chen felt disgusted, but also very pleased.
He tormented Zhong Xiang physically, but the kid had an immortal body, so he was unaffected. Therefore, he would attack him mentally.
Zhong Xiang's desperate cries echoed throughout the stone cave, spreading upwards. Zhang Chen inserted a finger into Zhong Xiang's mouth, reaching his throat, immediately silencing him.
"If you shout again, next time I won't be poking your throat. Heaven knows where I'll poke next," Zhang Chen said with a grin, his face full of lewdness.
Zhong Xiang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He closed his eyes in despair, only uttering a sorrowful sentence: "Just kill me."
"If you're willing to submit to me, I won't kill you," Zhang Chen said with a chuckle.
"Bah! Don't even think about it! You're dreaming!" Zhong Xiang cursed in disgust.
"Xiang Xiang, don't be so agitated. Isn't everything negotiable? It's just a few pokes, you can't die anyway, don't be so stingy," Zhang Chen said, stroking Zhong Xiang's head.
"Get your dirty hands off me," Zhong Xiang felt Zhang Chen's hand was extremely disgusting, making his hair stand on end.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled, looking at him with a playful expression, ice coalescing into a knife in his hand: "Oh, you dare to talk to me like that?"
Zhong Xiang shrunk into the corner, looking at Zhang Chen with a weak, pitiful, and helpless expression: "Don't stab me with the knife… I… I'll cooperate with you to refine the magma, okay?"
He finally yielded, bowing his head to evil.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled strangely: "Before, you were full of arrogance. When I begged you, you didn't say that. Enough nonsense, quickly turn your butt around, or I'll stab your little 'squeeze' directly."
Zhong Xiang's expression froze on his face. The next moment, he leaped up and pounced towards Zhang Chen, striking at Zhang Chen's head with his palm: "I'll fight you to the death!"
Unfortunately, Zhong Xiang only managed to get within a meter of Zhang Chen, his fingertips barely touching Zhang Chen's clothes, before his entire body was frozen by the ice.
"Why bother?" Zhang Chen conjured an ice dagger in his hand, slowly moving behind Zhong Xiang. As he thought, the ice frozen on Zhong Xiang's butt instantly melted into water.
Zhang Chen reached out and lifted the butt flap, looking at the fair and tender radish, reaching out to pinch it a few times: "Soft and bouncy, like a young maiden, the feel is really good."
Zhang Chen praised, but his movements were ruthless and spicy. The ice dagger directly pierced into the fair and tender radish.
The next moment, Zhang Chen was frozen, while flames erupted from Zhong Xiang's body, instantly causing the cave to burst with flames again.
The magma continued to sink, and Zhong Xiang, now free, turned around and cursed at Zhang Chen: "Despicable villain, I will never forgive you! I'll fight you to the death!"
Zhong Xiang swam in the magma, pouncing towards Zhang Chen, who was encased in ice, ready to fight him to the death. However, Zhang Chen kicked out, sending Zhong Xiang directly to the bottom of the magma pool.
The magma at the bottom of the pool continued to melt, repeatedly pushed out by Zhang Chen. Finally, as the dawn arrived, Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang stopped moving, because a bronze stone gate blocked their path.
In front of the bronze stone gate stood a white jade stele. The jade stele was two meters high, with countless auspicious cloud symbols engraved on the front, and dense small characters engraved on the back.
Zhang Chen roughly surveyed the layout in front of the bronze stone gate, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes. The layout of this bronze stone gate was exactly the same as the layout of the True Dragon Tomb.
"This must be the entrance to the great tomb," Zhang Chen said, a look of ecstasy on his face. He never expected that after melting hundreds of meters of cave overnight, he had actually come to the front of the great tomb.
"This is… that feng shui tomb?" Zhong Xiang, who had been miserable, suddenly perked up when he saw the bronze gate, his sorrow greatly diminished.
Then, he glanced at Zhang Chen without leaving a trace, and began to feel smug again: "Hmph, I am a chosen one, the favored child of this era, the emergence of this feng shui tomb is in response to my luck, and the treasures and creations within the tomb are all prepared for me. You, a mere ant-like, lowly, dirty, and wretched man, also want to obtain the secrets of the tomb? You simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. When I collect the treasures within the tomb and break your seal, that will be your death."
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiang thought of his face and lips being licked, and couldn't help but feel disgusted. He quickly reached out and rubbed his face vigorously, spitting several times, wiping his face.
Zhang Chen ignored Zhong Xiang's actions. He was now carefully examining the bronze gate, which was constructed exactly like the bronze gate of the True Dragon Tomb. The only difference was that nine lifelike divine dragons were carved on the bronze gate.
Zhang Chen's gaze swept across the bronze gate, which was tightly sealed, without even a gap. He just didn't know if water vapor could penetrate it.
He then turned his gaze to the jade stele on the side, and after scanning the front pattern of the jade stele, he didn't notice anything unusual. He turned around and looked at the dense small characters on the back of the jade stele.
He actually recognized these small characters, which were the language taught by the Great自在天魔 when he first entered the spiritual world.
"Xia Zhe, the daughter of the Great Emperor. Born to the Great Emperor's concubine, born on Mount Zhaoyao. Mount Zhaoyao, the Great Emperor's homeland, the 'Ape' tribe, its power shakes the Southern Mountains, its momentum suppresses the Central Mountains, its name startles the Central Land."
When Zhang Chen saw this line of words, he was struck by lightning. His eyes were full of disbelief. Looking at the familiar words, he felt a buzzing in his head.
"Mount Zhaoyao? Ape tribe?" Zhang Chen swallowed, feeling his mouth dry, countless thoughts churning in his mind like a tide.
Coincidence?
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
"The first heaven of the spiritual world has a Southern Mountain, and the Southern Mountain has a Mount Zhaoyao. Mount Zhaoyao has a small tribe, and the name of the small tribe is 'Ape'. What is the connection between the two?" Zhang Chen's head was buzzing.
One is in the extremely distant spiritual world, and the other is in the real world. How could there be a connection between the two?
Zhang Chen stood in front of the tombstone, at a loss. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out the connection.
"Oh, you're even looking at the epitaph in front of the tombstone? You, a peasant, don't even recognize a bushel of big characters, do you? You don't even recognize modern characters, let alone the characters of the ancient times?" Zhong Xiang also came up at this time, mocking with a disdainful face.
He knew that Zhang Chen couldn't kill him now, and still had to rely on him to open the way, so he was very confident at this time.
"Backstab!" Facing Zhong Xiang's mockery, Zhang Chen just looked at Zhong Xiang's butt with a lewd expression.
Zhong Xiang clenched his butt, wishing he could slap himself. Why did he have to provoke him?
Seeing Zhong Xiang admit defeat, Zhang Chen asked, "Do you recognize it?"
Zhong Xiang didn't speak, too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Stab?" Zhang Chen spat out a word, looking at Zhong Xiang with a playful expression.
Zhong Xiang was so angry that he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then replied in a normal tone, "I don't recognize it."
"You don't even recognize it yourself, what qualifications do you have to mock me?" Zhang Chen glanced at Zhong Xiang, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
"It's as if you recognize it," Zhong Xiang couldn't help but say, annoyed by Zhang Chen's provocation.
"Dare to talk to me like that? Stab?" Zhang Chen said with a lewd expression.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhong Xiang's face flushed red: "You might as well just kill me with a knife right now."
"Stab?" Zhang Chen said calmly.
"I was wrong!" Zhong Xiang gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, forced to admit his mistake in the face of Zhang Chen's lewd gaze.
"That's more like it!" Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly, turned his head, and continued to look at the words on the stone tablet.
The second paragraph of text came into Zhang Chen's view, and Zhang Chen carefully interpreted it:
"Xia Zhe, the Emperor's eldest daughter. Born sacred, possessing the power of dreams, the number one genius of the Mountains and Seas. She entered the first rank at the age of one, beheaded sixth-rank alien beasts in her dreams at the age of five, and slaughtered eighth-rank gods at the age of sixteen. Later, in three hundred and sixty years, she followed the Emperor out of Zhaoyao, beheading seventy-one gods, pacifying Nanshan, pacifying Beishan, and four times out of Zhongshan, pacifying and settling them. Later, she followed the Emperor to conquer the Great Wilderness at 'Lu', and was backlashed by demons in her dreams, and died! The Emperor was grieved, beheading three hundred gods to bury Zhe in her homeland of Zhaoyao."
Zhang Chen looked at this passage and felt a strange sorrow contained between the lines, as if it pierced his heart. Every word contained a great spiritual will, which had not been erased even after countless years.
"The woman in the tomb has such a great background? No wonder she even used 'Ying'long as a funerary object! And there are three hundred gods buried with her..." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, like a light bulb, with light flashing.
Of course, good fortune is accompanied by crisis. This tomb may be good fortune, or the three hundred gods may have undergone strange changes, which may cost the tomb raider's life.
After a little thought, Zhang Chen continued to look down:
"Anyone who robs the tomb will have their souls extracted and refined, their tribes destroyed, and their ashes scattered. The Emperor, writing!"
The text on the tombstone ended here, and Zhang Chen couldn't recover for a long time as he looked at the epitaph in front of him.
"This tomb contains great fortune. Not to mention the three hundred gods buried with her, there is also a twelfth-rank mystic as the eye of the feng shui formation. From this, it can be inferred that the level of mystics buried in the tomb is definitely not weak." Zhang Chen's heart was a little drumming. Not to mention how high the rank of the three hundred gods was, even if they were all first-rank existences, he couldn't afford to offend them.
He would have to run away as soon as he saw them, and there was no way to resist.
"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. If I enter the tomb, not to mention obtaining three hundred mystics, even if each mystic exploded a skill for me, that would be a great fortune. Moreover, I also have the Nine Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. Even if there are really three hundred old guys inside, if I introduce those old guys into it, it seems that those three hundred old guys can't make any waves?" Zhang Chen's mind flashed with thoughts.
"Moreover, the Emperor's daughter is so terrifyingly strong, then what kind of existence is the demon that killed the Emperor's daughter?" Zhang Chen looked at the word 'demon' on the stone tablet and began to ponder secretly.
This Emperor's daughter's tomb is not simple, there are too many secrets hidden within it.
And he discovered in the spiritual world that there is also an ape tribe, and it is also built on Zhaoyao Mountain...
"If I can enter Zhaoyao Mountain again and explore the ape tribe for clues, I may be able to find records about the Emperor's daughter's tomb, and then it will be much easier to steal the fortune in the Emperor's daughter's tomb." Zhang Chen pondered secretly.
According to the timeline, the ape tribe in the spiritual world now is likely to be the inheritance left over after the end of the 'Emperor's' era, and the tribe is likely to have records about the Emperor and the Emperor's daughter.
"But why is there an ape tribe in the spiritual world, and records about the ape tribe have appeared in the material world? What is the relationship between the two?" Zhang Chen was a little confused. If the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon was here, he could ask the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.
But the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon is not here, he also has the dog-headed strategist Fox Fairy Nan Nan.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen summoned Fox Fairy Nan Nan. Fox Fairy Nan Nan directly used illusions to blind Zhong Xiang's perception, and then a pair of eyes looked at Zhang Chen, at the stone tablet in front of Zhang Chen, and at the bronze gate, and suddenly her eyes revealed ecstasy: "Dug up the entrance to the tomb?"
"The entrance to the tomb has been dug up, but it is not easy to enter the tomb to seize the fortune," Zhang Chen said.
"What's wrong? Can't break the bronze door? Or has something changed?" Fox Fairy Nan Nan asked, puzzled.
"I have a doubt in my mind after reading the epitaph. If I don't answer it, I'm afraid I won't dare to enter the tomb." Zhang Chen's eyes were always fixed on the epitaph, hoping to see something.
Hearing this, Fox Fairy Nan Nan looked at the jade tablet, glanced at the jade tablet, and then couldn't help but be stunned: "Can you understand these strange characters?"
"Of course," Zhang Chen said.
A look of disbelief appeared in Fox Fairy Nan Nan's eyes. Zhang Chen was becoming more and more mysterious in her eyes. According to her understanding, Zhang Chen would never recognize the characters in front of him, but now he recognized them.
"It won't be easy to fool the two-legged beast who knows the characters in the future," Fox Fairy Nan Nan muttered to herself.
"What does this text say?"
Fox Fairy Nan Nan didn't go into details, she didn't want to know more of Zhang Chen's secrets.
Zhang Chen told the story of Zhaoyao Mountain and the tribe: "What do you say is the connection between the two?"
Hearing this, Fox Fairy Nan Nan pondered slightly. The dog-headed strategist now had a clue and said: "Ancient books record that some sages have entered the spiritual world to pick great medicine. What does this mean? It means that things in the spiritual world can be brought into the material world. In that case, why can't the so-called Emperor's daughter's tomb be brought out from the spiritual world?"
"These things may just be things that happened in the spiritual world, and then this tomb fell from the spiritual world." Fox Fairy Nan Nan, the dog-headed strategist, gave her own speculation.
This speculation is very reasonable.
