Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

King Kang?

The thought of Prince Kang sent chills down Chen Yibai's spine!

His nerves tightened, his face contorted with disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "That's impossible, isn't it?"

Although he said it was unlikely, he was increasingly suspicious in his heart.

He can use incantations to exorcise souls, tear apart the Corpse King with his bare hands to extract its corpse-removing pills...

In addition, Wu Daoshan, the Iron-Armed White Ape of the Heavenly Path Society, had a disciple named Chicken Brother who died in the tomb of King Kang...

And most importantly, Iron-Armed White Ape Wu Daoshan had come to the Qinling Mountains thirty years ago, but returned empty-handed. Yet, thirty years later, he suddenly made a comeback.

Is this really just a coincidence?

interesting!

This is getting more and more interesting!

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes and stared at the Taikang clan totem on the tomb wall. He had a vague feeling that it was left specifically for him!

In that case, then wait for me, the captain, to come and deal with you!

If nothing unexpected happens, the Skywalkers will definitely still be in the Qinling Mountains.

According to Yan Tianjiu, their real goal in coming to the Qinling Mountains was the Western Han Dynasty imperial tombs!

Therefore, we must find the Western Han imperial tombs as soon as possible so that we can meet with the Heavenly Path Society.

Chen Yibai wanted to see what kind of person this "extraordinary person" in the Southern School of Heavenly Paths was who could use the incantation and soul-driving techniques and tear apart the Corpse King with his bare hands.

Could it really be an 'old acquaintance'?

In addition, Chen Yibai had a strong premonition that this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb was definitely not simple, and that it contained something that this 'extraordinary person' wanted to find, and something extraordinary at that.

It might be something similar to a corpse pill, something that allows one to cultivate evil arts.

Otherwise, Yan Tianjiu wouldn't have searched for this tomb for over a hundred years!

To find this Western Han Dynasty tomb, one must consider celestial phenomena and the terrain.

All the clues were hidden on that piece of Western Han Dynasty cloth.

Chen Yibai walked out of the tomb.

It was nearly five in the morning, and the sky was still very overcast. The dark clouds looked like heavy lead, as if a heavy rain could fall at any moment.

Without celestial signs, it would be impossible to find the exact location of the Western Han Dynasty tomb based on clues.

Since the weather isn't cooperating, we can only wait until nightfall to see if the sky clears up and the stars appear.

Chen Yibai took out his phone again and checked the weather forecast.

The weather forecast showed sunny skies in Qinling City, but deep in the Qinling Mountains, the forecast was anything but accurate.

Rumble…

Just as Chen Yibai was looking at the weather forecast on his phone, a series of muffled thunderclaps came from the depths of the dark clouds overhead, accompanied by streaks of lightning.

Judging from this, a heavy rain is inevitable.

There's nowhere to shelter from the rain even deep in the Qinling Mountains.

Chen Yibai simply turned back into the ancient tomb, thinking he should take shelter from the rain first.

I'm exhausted after a long night, so I can finally get some sleep and a short rest.

Sleeping directly in an ancient tomb, and one that's even a place for raising corpses, is something that most people wouldn't dare to do.

Because when a person is asleep, their mind is also in a dormant state, any evil spirit can create nightmares, and sleep paralysis is a minor issue.

But this was no problem for Chen Yibai, who possessed the bloodline of the Candle Dragon.

However, to Chen Yibai's surprise, the rain was much heavier than he had imagined.

The rain poured down, as powerful as a pillar.

In addition, the ancient tomb was located in a low-lying area, so rainwater flowed directly into it, almost drowning Chen Yibai who had just fallen asleep.

With no other option, they had to quickly emerge from the ancient tomb, braving the torrential rain, and search for a temporary place to take shelter deep in the dense forest.

Given the harsh geographical environment, coupled with extreme weather and a lack of emergency equipment, an ordinary person might not even be able to survive until the rain stops.

Speaking of this, we must mention the adaptability of the tomb raiding profession.

Many ancient tombs are hidden deep in the mountains, so wilderness survival is an essential skill for tomb raiders.

Some tomb raiders can stay in the deep mountains for a month or even longer in order to find ancient tombs...

The heavy rain lasted for most of the day, only stopping in the afternoon.

Chen Yibai was soaked to the bone, cursing inwardly that the heavens were really not giving him any mercy.

Getting caught in the rain is a minor issue; the main problem is that even though the rain has stopped, the sky is still overcast.

Unsurprisingly, the night was still filled with dark clouds, obscuring the stars.

It looks like tonight's time will be wasted again.

This is the weakness of celestial navigation; without stars, one cannot observe the night sky.

But even with stars, some constellations don't appear every night.

Some extremely rare celestial phenomena only occur once a year or even every three to five years.

So Chen Yibai got a little anxious.

What if the heavens really don't cooperate and keep making things difficult for ten or eight days in a row? Wouldn't the Heavenly Path Society really get there first?

Chen Yibai needs to rely on the Celestial Star Technique to find this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb.

However, there are extraordinary individuals in the Heavenly Path Society who may not need to observe the stars at night; they could simply locate the Western Han imperial tombs by smelling the yin energy.

The ability to directly sense yin energy is not a human ability, but rather the ability of a zongzi (rice dumpling)...

However, what I feared most came to pass.

This awful weather! It's been gloomy for five or six days straight!

For six consecutive days, the Qinling Mountains were shrouded in dark clouds and drizzling rain, with no stars or sun visible day or night.

Chen Yibai was almost turned into a wild man, eating wild fruits and hunting, and seeking shelter from the wind and rain in mountain caves.

If things continue like this...

That Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb may really not be able to be preserved.

There was no way to meet with the Heavenly Path Society.

If we miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to find the Heavenly Path Society in the martial arts world again.

Until the seventh day.

The weather finally took a turn for the better.

As evening approached, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun, which had been hidden for several days, finally peeked out.

That night, Chen Yibai eagerly awaited their arrival, and finally they were released.

Due to the effect of light, the stars in the wild are much brighter than those in the city.

Especially in the deep mountains, on a clear day, the sky is filled with countless stars.

Chen Yibai had also climbed to the top of a mountain in the Qinling Mountains ahead of time, looking up at the stars in the sky and carefully observing the constellations.

The so-called celestial phenomena mainly include the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Twelve Zodiac Signs, and the Four Symbols.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions divide the stars into twenty-eight groups, which are then further divided into four subgroups, each containing seven mansions, each representing a different meaning.

As for the twelve zodiac signs, they are actually the twelve constellations, mainly used for divination.

Therefore, the study of celestial stars mainly involves analyzing the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Observing the stars at night to find the dragon veins and auspicious burial sites, what they are looking for are these twenty-eight constellations.
