Full-time Creation Master

The tomb is just ahead. The land in front is raised, forming a stone staircase similar to an ancient castle mountain path. After walking a little further, a large white staircase appears!

The staircase is extremely wide, stretching over two hundred meters from left to right. Each step is designed to be within human walking distance, but it still takes a long time to actually climb to the top of the tomb. The staircase is so high that looking up, it seems to lead to a cliff overlooking the sky...

Carrying the cold and slender Chu Ming on his back, he began to climb. His commander-level physique allowed him to walk on flat ground even without using magic!

Fortunately, no matter how randomly the rain of corpses fell from the sky, it would not fall on this white tomb.

The pristine white of the tomb is somewhat out of place in this filthy, stench-filled world of corpses and skeletons. If it weren't for that eerie whiteness that convinced people that something even more terrifying lived inside, the tomb would have been a pure sanctuary standing in a filthy space.

As he continued climbing, he felt like an ant trapped in a large, wrinkled white sheet of paper. Along the endless steps, stone figures gradually appeared on both sides. Their appearance reminded Chu Ming of a creature he had once seen—gargoyles.

There are two stone figures every ten steps, which are like guards protecting the palace.

It was deathly still, yet it carried an air of majesty and solemnity.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. If lifelike statues appear in some strange palaces or mysterious stone tombs, they must come to life. Chu Ming wasn't deceiving himself at all!

Based on my perception alone, these statues are even at the level of quasi-commanders. Counting them all the way, they are more than the number of angel soldiers I have painstakingly gathered!

As expected of the First Emperor!

It seems I haven't accumulated enough knowledge!

Chu Ming thought to himself!

.......

"These are the Iron Eagle Sword Guards, warriors who were at least centurions in life, who voluntarily became guardians of the undead!"

Jiuyou explained, "His combat strength isn't particularly high, only around two to five hundred men!"

In the Qin Dynasty, military merit was the starting point. Ordinary soldiers who were recognized by the court had to have at least one head of an imperial army soldier or three servant-level demons as battle merits!

Above them were squad leader, sergeant, centurion, 500-man commander (a commander of 1,000 men, though sometimes only commanding 500), captain, lieutenant general...

With a strength of two to five hundred men, they could easily pacify a demon clan!

There's no way around it, the Qin Dynasty was just that awesome!

Throughout the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, they expanded their territory and drove away demons!

However, the Qin Dynasty is universally recognized as the strongest!

Even after many secret techniques and skills from subsequent dynasties were lost, when the artifacts from the Qin Dynasty were compared, there was a feeling that "the present is not as good as the past"!

..........

Continuing up the stairs, to everyone's surprise, the stone figures didn't come to life, and we had already reached the main entrance.

There is a polished bronze mirror on the main gate!

The evil-eyed bronze mirror hanging at the main entrance of the tomb is clearly a demon that has come to power!

The Evil Eye Bronze Mirror blinked, revealing itself to be an enormous eye, its gaze reflecting the unconscious Leng Lingling and Chu Ming, as well as the two people and one spirit of the Nine Netherworld!

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, the white square door slowly opened.

It was as if something had pulled open the heavy white stone door, and the moment it opened, an incredibly terrifying gust of cold wind howled out from inside.

This door has clearly never been opened since it was closed, and the air pressure inside is extremely different from that outside!

"How long has this door been unopened?"

"Don't you usually walk this way?"

Chu Ming waved his hand, swatting away the deathly aura that was everywhere. It was too dense, like a pair of smelly shoes that had been thrown into a stinky tofu container, stuffed into a latrine, and suppressed for three years!

"Of course we won't go this way!" Queen Jiuyou chuckled. "When the King isn't around, we Eight Kings of the Dead all have the authority to access the Abyss of Fiends; we can go wherever we want with a single thought!"

"So, this is a sightseeing tour for me?"

"Hehehe~~~~ Of course, you're a distinguished guest, so you'll naturally have to use the main entrance!"

While answering, Jiuyouhou couldn't help but scrutinize Chu Ming.

Want to see clearly what kind of person this is from the soul level?

It's amazing that the capital city, which was conquering the dark plane, was able to withstand the corruption of the Dark King and the resistance of the magic plane and pass down a wisp of its soul!

This is not the evil spirit in the armor that merely has the idea of ​​becoming the third king, but the king's true soul clone!

As he continued on his journey, he would stop and reflect almost every few steps after traveling a certain distance from Jiuyou.

After walking through a long gallery, I saw what appeared to be lithographs from the ancient Wang's personal collection hanging on both sides.

"Those paintings are nice, you should take a look!"

There are mind-based traps there, but they shouldn't affect you!

However, if an ordinary person falls into the trap of a painting, it's like being trapped in an illusion or dream, from which they cannot escape.

The Nine Netherworld Queen knew every plant and tree inside in great detail and explained them in great detail!

It was as if they knew that Chu Ming was the next master of this place, so they explained the legacy left by the old master in detail in front of the new master, in order to leave a good impression!

"The murals are really great; the visual appeal is just as good as modern photographs!"

"The key is that it has meaning!"

"Such powerful soul-snatching images! So many of them cover the stone walls. If an ordinary super-level mage's spiritual realm is not above the third level, they will completely lose their soul if they are not careful, and be trapped in the illusion for eternity..."

Chu Ming commented in a very serious tone.

The more one understands the arts of bewitching and dreams, the more one can appreciate the terrifying power hidden within them. This must be a mechanism by which King Qin, Ying Zheng, prevents outsiders from disturbing him.

He has been asleep for over two thousand years. Unless the stone figures at the entrance, which never wither, have survived to this day, most other creatures are unlikely to be able to guard his tomb. Therefore, his tomb must contain various traps and mechanisms to cause intruders to get lost or die...

In front of one of the stone paintings, the eyes are fixed intently on a carving depicting an ancient woman.

Jiuyouhou reached out her hand, making the ethereal form tangible, and gently touched the carvings on it, also touching the stone-carved woman...

Gradually, as if drawn by something, her whole being seemed to be captivated by the painting, and her eyes revealed different emotions.

Chu Ming, being sensible, did not interrupt.

……

After passing through the gallery, a vast front palace appeared before them. The entire front palace was built of pale white stone and jade, and the floor was so smooth that one could see their own reflection...

The pillars stood tall, each requiring four or five people to encircle, and were covered with densely packed runes that Mo Fan couldn't understand at all.

The former palace seemed to be empty, desolate, and deathly silent except for the echoing sound of footsteps.

"Buzz~~~~"
