“Not bad, this is actually a good thing!”
The nether grass was further from the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit where the Ghost King was located, and with half an hour of time, Qin Xuan would have enough time to find the Ghost King’s body.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan’s eyes flickered as he slowly stood up.
“Does this mean I can go find the Ghost King’s body now?”
As long as he obtained the Ghost King’s body and refined it into a corpse puppet, it would be fine.
“Now is the chance!”
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan, who nodded and immediately changed his form, rushing towards the center of the Ancient Battlefield.
Along the way, the Yin wind howled, and dense Yin Qi continuously assailed Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan remained calm, with spiritual fire protecting his body, silently and swiftly rushing towards that direction.
The Yin wind continued to roar, and some ignorant Yin Souls crashed towards Qin Xuan.
For these Yin Souls, Qin Xuan directly absorbed them into the Refining God Cauldron.
The Yin Qi of the Yin Souls was too heavy; directly devouring them would impact his Divine Soul, so it was better to refine them with the Refining God Cauldron first.
After collecting the Yin Souls, it wasn't long before Qin Xuan arrived beside the central Ten Thousand Corpse Pit.
Looking at the dark cave entrance exposed on the tall earth mound, Qin Xuan felt a shiver for a moment.
This entrance was left when the Ghost King rushed out from inside just now; even from the outside, Qin Xuan could feel the continuous Yin Qi surging out from within.
The Yin Qi inside here was probably terrifyingly heavy.
However, without hesitating for too long, Qin Xuan quickly squeezed into the entrance, using spiritual fire and Taihuang Aura to protect his body, thereby isolating the surrounding Yin Qi.
“There are so many bones in here!”
At this moment, Han Ye also looked around in surprise.
After entering, he immediately looked around.
The entire area around the entrance was piled high with white bones, like a huge Jingguan (a mound of enemy corpses).
This entrance merely appeared on one layer of the Jingguan.
“Whoosh!”
Qin Xuan reached out to touch the white bones beside him.
Before his hand could even touch them, the Taihuang Aura had already pulverized these white bones into dust.
“The bones are already rotten; I’m afraid there are more than ten thousand bodies buried here!”
Han Ye transmitted his thoughts with emotion to Qin Xuan, who remained silent, only burying his head and moving forward.
Only such heavy Yin Qi could give birth to something like a Ghost King!
And only such heavy Yin Qi would allow the Ghost King’s body to rival a Shangqing Realm Cultivator.
Such a body was truly too suitable for refining into a corpse puppet.
Following the Ghost King’s passage, Qin Xuan descended all the way, and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Xuan stopped, his expression solemn as he looked ahead.
This was the end of the numerous bones, and the Ghost King’s body was not visible there; what appeared at the end of his sight was a tall stone door.
On the stone door, four large characters were written with an unknown pigment:
“Trespassers Die!”
“This… is this really where the Ghost King’s body is located?”
Qin Xuan looked at the stone door in surprise, truly a bit confused.
Was this still a Ghost King?
Shouldn’t the Ghost King’s body have formed from a corpse in the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit?
This was just the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit where the Great Ancestor buried those enemies back then, so how could there be a stone door below?
Moreover, from the condition of the stone door, there should be an underground palace behind it.
Qin Xuan frowned, and for a moment, he hesitated, unsure whether to continue forward.
“Forget it, no matter how this thing was formed, since this is the Ghost King’s territory, its body must be below; there’s no doubt about that.”
Han Ye said, and Jin Ming’s Divine Soul also nodded continuously from the side.
Being only a Divine Soul, he was very nervous in this place full of Yin Souls, so he really wanted Qin Xuan to continue forward.
“Since it has come to this, let’s continue forward and see what’s behind the stone door.”
Having reached this point, going back was impossible.
Qin Xuan walked over, pushed open the stone door, and entered.
“Whoosh!”
A wave of Yin Qi, like a surging tide, continuously crashed towards Qin Xuan.
“Boom!”
Spiritual fire and Taihuang Aura instantly enveloped Qin Xuan’s body, blocking this surge of Yin Qi.
“What exactly is going on with this Yin Qi? It’s so strong!”
Qin Xuan gasped in a cold breath.
He hadn’t expected the Yin Qi behind the stone door to be so heavy.
If not for the protection of the spiritual fire and Taihuang Aura, this Yin Qi alone would be enough to severely injure Qin Xuan.
“What exactly is inside here?”
Qin Xuan pondered, continuing forward without hesitation.
Behind the stone door was a passage paved with white jade, and the sides of the passage were continuously widened, looking like an imperial path.
“This should be an underground palace.”
Han Ye looked for a long time, speaking with some uncertainty.
Qin Xuan, however, frowned.
This was an Ancient Battlefield, and also just a Mass Burial Grounds.
Under normal circumstances, a Mass Burial Grounds should be filled with corpses.
But for there to be a massive underground palace beneath, this was very abnormal.
“Who would build an underground palace here?”
Qin Xuan’s eyes changed accordingly.
The situation here was starting to get interesting.
“What kind of person would have the ability to build an underground palace here, and judging by the appearance of this underground palace, it hasn’t been built recently.”
After looking around, Qin Xuan already had a judgment in his mind.
“When the Great Ancestor Emperor buried the bodies of those enemy soldiers here, it was naturally out of pity, but pity is pity; it wouldn’t go so far as to specifically build an underground palace for these people.”
The current situation looked a bit off.
Such a massive underground palace was not something ordinary people could build.
Unlike now, thousands of years ago, there were soldiers stationed near this Ancient Battlefield, and others could not approach casually.
Coupled with the Great Ancestor Emperor’s attention to this place, the possibility of others tampering here was minimal, let alone building an underground palace.
“This is not a small project; it’s truly strange.”
Qin Xuan said with a frown.
“Back then, there were once over a thousand troops stationed nearby here. If it weren’t for the later supernatural events that left all these troops without a trace of their bones, there should still be an army stationed here.”
“In such a place, who would be so bored as to build an underground palace here?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled, and after shaking his head, he hesitated a bit.
The situation here had completely exceeded his imagination.
Now he couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened here.
“Senior, the situation here is a bit off. Could it be that this kid’s intelligence is wrong?”
Qin Xuan transmitted his thoughts to Han Ye.
If Jin Ming was spouting nonsense and fabricating information, then things would be much more complicated than he thought.
“That shouldn’t be the case. You’ve already planted a slave seal in his body, and from the control along the way, the slave seal should be fine. He wouldn’t deceive you on this matter.”
Without hesitating for too long, Qin Xuan continued to accelerate and move forward.
Walking along the imperial path made of white jade, the surroundings of the passage began to grow brighter and brighter.
The luminous pearls embedded all around illuminated the surroundings brightly.
Even after many years, these luminous pearls remained lit.
At the end of the passage was still a stone door.
However, there was no key on the stone door; there was only a Yin and Yang fish pattern on it.
