System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"What? What did you say about big-headed babies?"

Yi Sa's exclamation shattered the silence like a thunderclap, and everyone was drawn to the deep cave entrance as if by a magnet, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and light.

Below the cave entrance, a strange sight came into view: a large-headed baby was curled up inside, sleeping peacefully. Although its body was covered in bluish-purple, its expression and face were so vivid that it resembled a human infant, so lifelike that it was hard to believe.

"This...how is this possible?"

Exclamations of astonishment rose and fell, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief. How could there be signs of life just a few meters away under the ice?

In this frigid place where temperatures drop to tens of degrees below zero, the existence of any life seems so incredible, like a dream.

Amidst the murmurs, Fourth Grandfather's gaze pierced through the ice, and he whispered, "Kunlun Embryo!"

This word, like a key to unlocking ancient secrets, left everyone present speechless.

"Kunlun fetus? What's that?"

His subordinates looked puzzled.

Fourth Master slowly explained: "The Kunlun Embryo is a miraculous embryo nurtured by the primordial energy of heaven and earth. It resembles a newborn baby, but in reality, it is a condensation of primordial energy, a rare feng shui treasure in the world, containing endless mysteries."

Upon hearing this, everyone was both surprised and suspicious.

"What Brother Zhang Hao said was so mysterious, is it true or not?"

Zhang Hao nodded in confirmation: "What you say is true. This is indeed the Kunlun Embryo, a miracle created by the power of nature."

Upon hearing this, the fat man's eyes widened as if he had seen endless wealth, his mouth practically watering, and he excitedly shouted:

"Such a treasure, if brought out, would surely be priceless!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen was both amused and exasperated. She lightly tapped the fat man's forehead and laughed, "You little rascal, stop dreaming! Although it looks small, it is actually enormous, and once it leaves this place, it will vanish without a trace, and no human can take it away."

Upon hearing this, the fat man had no choice but to give up, and the group then composed themselves and prepared to delve deeper into the adventure.

At Fourth Uncle's command, as if a general were issuing an order, his men quickly sprang into action, using specialized tools to secure the climbing ropes. Then, one by one, like nimble swallows, they slid down the ropes into the ice.

Although Fourth Grandpa is over ninety years old, he is still agile and nimble, like an evergreen pine tree, no less than a young man, and he glided to the depths of the ice in no time.

Once everyone arrived, a huge ice hole appeared before them, seemingly floating in the ice like a bubble.

The ice cave has a vast interior space, and in the center stands an ice sculpture temple, crystal clear and exquisite, like the most exquisite work of art by nature.

When Zhang Hao and his group stepped into this icy region, Fourth Grandfather and his entourage had already been studying the ice temple for quite some time. Fourth Grandfather said in a deep voice:

"This is the spirit temple, the main above-ground structure of the ancient tomb. There must be a side passage beneath the ice temple."

After determining that the Ice Temple was a sacred temple, Fourth Master quickly led his men inside.

Upon entering the mausoleum, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

The entire mausoleum is magnificent and exquisitely crafted.

The first thing you see when you enter is an ice sculpture sitting on an ice platform in the middle of the hall, a huge human-headed leech.

Fourth Grandfather was overjoyed: "Great! Everything is correct. This statue is indeed the Eternal Heaven from the Eastern Xia religion!"

The Eternal Heaven is the chief deity of the Dongxia people, and this spirit palace is the main hall used by their nobles for sacrificial rites.

"You guys, dig from under the statue downwards; there must be a passage underneath!"

"Yes, Fourth Master!"

Upon receiving the order, Fourth Uncle's men immediately took out various tools and began chiseling on the ice bed beneath the statue.

A series of clanging and jingling sounds filled the hall. Soon after, a large opening was seen in the ice bed, revealing a small, square compartment underneath. Inside the compartment was a jet-black stone tortoise.

The stone tortoise has a broad and thick carapace covered with mysterious patterns that resemble stars, mountains, or ancient characters.

On its back, coiled with spirit snakes, these spirit snakes perched on the tortoise shell, appearing both agile and majestic.

"This is a Black Tortoise. What is the meaning of hiding such a Black Tortoise under an ice sculpture?"

Everyone was filled with doubt upon seeing Xuanwu.

"Hey, what's wrong? Is my watch broken?"

Suddenly, the fat man raised his arm, staring at the watch with a puzzled look: "That's not right, this watch is brand new, it couldn't be broken already."

Just then, someone in the group shouted again.

"The compass is completely broken. It just keeps spinning randomly after we entered this ice hole; it's malfunctioning."

"The same goes for barometers!"

"The altimeter is malfunctioning too!"

Suddenly, all the instruments on everyone's bodies malfunctioned.

Upon hearing this, Fourth Grandfather's face grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Oh no, we've been tricked! We've all been tricked! This temple is actually a deceptive trap!"

"Fourth Master, what's going on? How could this be a trap?"

"Hey……"

Fourth Master sighed and prepared to explain why this place was a trap.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Suddenly, he started coughing violently, and his face turned deathly pale, making him look like a corpse.

One of his men hurriedly pulled out a medicine bottle from his person, poured out a pill, and put it into his mouth. It took him a while to recover.

"Uncle, do you know what Fourth Grandfather meant when he said this shrine is a trap?"

Grandpa Si coughed for a long time without answering the question, so Wu Tianzhen anxiously asked Zhang Hao.

Everyone else leaned in to listen as well.

"Young man from the Zhang family, tell us what you're capable of."

Since Fourth Grandfather had spoken, Zhang Hao didn't hesitate and slowly said:

"The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds was built by Wang Canghai, who is the most famous feng shui master of our time. No one knows better than him what tools are used in feng shui."

Such a person would naturally know how to prevent theft when building a tomb.

As Zhang Hao spoke, he walked towards Xuanwu, casually picking up an iron tool from his person and tossing it onto Xuanwu.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the tool was sucked into Xuanwu and stuck tightly to the talisman.

"This is a black tortoise carved from a magnet. It can attract such a large object. Its magnetism is very strong and can affect tools like compasses from a great distance."

As everyone knows, Feng Shui uses a compass and a compass together to find the location and direction of dragon veins.

With such a large magnet present, these tools will be affected, making it easier for those knowledgeable in feng shui to fall into the traps he has set.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The people around him applauded when they heard Zhang Hao's explanation.

"As expected of the young master of the Zhang family, his knowledge is unmatched among his peers!"

"Don't even mention his peers, I, this old fellow, am no match for him."

"My uncle is amazing, he's such a great help!"

……

Just when everyone thought they had fallen into a trap and had to retreat, Zhang Hao suddenly said:

"However, this shrine is not a trap!"

"Young man Zhang, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning my judgment?"

Fourth Grandfather was praising Zhang Hao when he suddenly humiliated him.
