Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

The palace was buried deep underground hundreds of years ago, but now all that remains is rolling yellow sand. The once powerful and magnificent dynasty and those unexplainable secrets are all buried under the dust.

After Lin Fan's one-sided massacre, there were still many brave warriors who followed Lin Fan to the top of the mountain, wanting to see what was hidden in the underground palace.

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. These people wanted to come in and die, but Lin Fan did not stop them.

"The purple air rises from the east, which is what the earth's veins are looking for. Just talking about the method of exploring the land and looking for gold, there must be good things hidden here!" Xiao Chang stood on the top of the mountain, looking around.

The top of the mountain is much larger than imagined. It is also adjacent to several surrounding mountains. Looking into the distance, there is a bottomless valley.

The sunlight scattered on the mountain top and shrouded in clouds and mist, gave the place a sense of a mythical wonderland. Everyone was mesmerized by the sight and was convinced that there must be priceless treasures buried there.

"Anyone who is not blind can see that this place is extraordinary! It seems that I am going to be rich!" Someone couldn't help but imagine.

Some people were more meticulous and said cautiously, "The more extraordinary it is, the more dangerous it is. If there really is a treasure here, even one as powerful as the Princess Tomb, why not take it yourself?"

This statement was well-reasoned and many people nodded in agreement. However, everyone also understood the principle that wealth and honor must be sought through risk. If it were that simple, they would not have been given this great opportunity.

At this time, some people have already started to act, and the huge bronze door of the underground palace has been opened. This time is different from the last time, there is no longer the nightmare-like poisonous miasma.

It was probably because they had been let go last time. Seeing that the progress was smooth, everyone did not care about anything else and jumped into the gate of the underground palace, all dreaming of being the first to get there.

"Let's go, it's time for us to move around."

Lin Fan knew that no matter how much he considered, it was all in vain. He didn't care about any of the Qin Emperor's treasures. The only thing he had to consider was the secret key to open the underground palace of the emperor.

Xiao Chang followed Lin Fan holding the magic sword. The several seriously injured disciples of the Zizai Sect were sent down the mountain, and his great hatred was avenged with the help of Lin Fan. Without the previous bitterness and hatred, he returned to his leisurely and carefree appearance.

Now that he had nothing to worry about, his eyes were filled with curiosity. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the Princess Tomb come and explore it themselves? Why did they have to give up this opportunity? If even they don't dare to explore this place, it would be useless for these people to go down to the underground palace."

Lin Fan shook his head and explained, "It's not necessarily that I don't dare to explore, but that I can't."

"If it's true as you say, Murong Baoding would allow his own genius to enter Dongshan? The encirclement and suppression of you is probably just a convenience. The real target is the thing buried here."

Lin Fan has more information than Xiao Chang, and Gongzhufen must know more than him.

It's not that they don't want to obtain the secret key to the underground palace, but they are afraid that the person in the Northern Royal Court will personally issue an order, appointing Murong Baoding as the representative to carry out the will of the empress.

"It seems that those rumors about the Empress are not groundless. Even the Princess Tomb has to avoid her. Beimang is truly a one-man Beimang..."

Xiao Chang sighed sincerely.

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "You and I have ruined that person's plan. I'm afraid your Zizai faction will have a hard time surviving in Northern Mang. Have you considered developing elsewhere?"

Xiao Chang was stunned at first, then he looked at Lin Fan and smiled bitterly. He had guessed before that the person next to him might not be from Beimang, but was most likely sent by Da Zhou.

Lin Fan's words now completely confirmed this speculation.

"Brother Lin, this matter is of great importance and requires the decision of our sect leader..."

When their leader was mentioned, Xiao Chang immediately added, "Although our leader is from the royal family of the previous dynasty, you also know the Northern Mang court. Ultimately, our leader is not your enemy."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded. He understood all of this. The Yelu and Murong clans had been entangled for a long time and disliked each other. They both felt that the other was a stumbling block and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties, the replacement of the royal family, and the major military governors are the foundation of the Beimang Empire. If the empress continues to exist, she can suppress all forces. But if something unexpected happens to her, the ballast, the entire empire will fall into chaos.

"They started a national war, forced Dong Zhuo to die, wiped out Buddhism, unified the Northern Mang martial arts world, and now they're going after the Yelu clan and clearing out the power of the previous dynasty. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

The more Lin Fan learned about the intelligence that kept coming in from Luowang, the more he felt that the empress was becoming more and more anxious in pushing Beimang forward. He was afraid that there was something seriously wrong with the empress's health.

If not for this, he would not have suppressed the Princess Tomb and sent Murong Baoding to pursue the illusory elixir of immortality.

Xiao Chang looked around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered, "There are indeed rumors circulating that the empress hasn't attended court for months. I'm afraid..."

"It seems that person's dream will be dashed. The elixir of immortality is just a legend. How can a mortal being be immortal?"

Lin Fan disagreed. He felt that the elixir of immortality was a pure scam. There were indeed ways in the world that could make people immortal, but they all came at a huge price.

Xiao Chang looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Are you saying that the elixir of immortality doesn't exist? But I've heard that many powerful people, such as the Taoist leader Qilin Zhenren, have lived for a long time. There are even rumors that a powerful person from the Spring and Autumn Period has survived to this day."

"It's not difficult to live long. As long as you break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, and rely on your true energy to reshape the meridians throughout your body, it will be easy to live several lives as a mortal. Or, by relying on the immortality of the soul and reincarnation, you can still live several lives." Lin Fan looked very calm.

With the help of the system, he was able to comprehend the most profound truths of those unique skills in terms of knowledge about sexual cultivation. It could be said that he was almost like an encyclopedia in this regard.

Seeing that Xiao Chang still didn't understand, Lin Fan changed his perspective and said, "Whether they're cultivating their lives or refining their spirits, they've long been no different from mortals. But that empress is different. How can a mere mortal understand these methods?"

"Even if there really is an elixir of immortality, do you think she can withstand this heaven-defying blessing? Growing old is the way of nature. Her life force has withered and become extinguished. Even if a god came, it would be useless."

After comprehending the Art of Eternal Youth, Lin Fan had already realized that wanting to live forever in the world solely by relying on his mortal body was pure dreaming. Only by tempering his own life could he truly break free from the shackles of life.

The two walked and talked until they reached a corner on the edge of the mountain. Lin Fan drew a circle with a wooden stick, pointed to the center of the circle and said, "Dig down in this direction."

Everyone around rushed into the bronze door, but Lin Fan was the only one who wanted to dig the ground alone to search for treasure.

Although Xiao Chang didn't know the secret, he had witnessed Lin Fan's methods and strength many times. Without any further ado, he used the magic sword in his hand instead of the Luoyang shovel and started digging on the spot.
