The sight of the scattered ashes raining down towards the tomb chamber made Wu Tianzhen and the other stare, their mouths slightly agape.
If it were them, would they be meticulous enough to help these remains? Clearly, they might forget.
"Little Master Zhang, you're truly meticulous."
Wang Banyue gave a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration.
Zhang Tian's forehead twitched. Already praised for being meticulous by two fat men, it seemed he needed to prove his prowess before them.
"Let's go, we can enter now."
Zhang Tian didn't want to dwell on the topic, waving his hand, and the group headed inside.
With the remains gone, the entire passage looked much brighter.
"Why are these children's skeletons piled up here? What was that Divine Emperor's purpose?"
Hu Bayi muttered, unable to comprehend it. What was the use of these people lining the tomb path?
Was it merely to create the mysterious powder for the ninjas?
"Old Hu, don't think so much. Learn from Fatty, stay calm and composed, steady as an old dog."
Fatty chuckled beside Hu Bayi.
Wu Tianzhen: ?????
At the same time, the group quickened their pace.
Xiao Bie walked ahead, about ten meters behind Zhang Tian.
This way, even if Xiao Bie triggered a mechanism, it wouldn't cause substantial harm to Zhang Tian and the others.
"Clang clang."
Not far away, as Xiao Bie moved, the Buddha statues on the surrounding walls let out a series of clanging sounds.
Simultaneously, some bullet mechanisms and the like fired wildly at Xiao Bie.
Xiao Bie had already evolved; ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate its shell.
"There are so many mechanisms."
Wu Tianzhen sighed. If he had come, he would have been stuck in the maze section for a long time.
Soon, with Xiao Bie clearing the path, Zhang Tian and the others passed through the entire Buddha wall tomb passage.
Upon exiting the passage, the largest tomb chamber came into view.
In the dark tomb chamber, they couldn't see what was inside.
As the flashlight shone, a small part of the surroundings became visible.
"Holy cow, what is this thing."
"Damn it, I almost fell over."
Just as Zhang Tian was surveying the entire tomb chamber, a loud curse came from Wang Banyue's side.
Immediately after, it was as if he tripped over something, and he stumbled.
And with his voice, the surroundings began to illuminate.
Flames started rising from the walls.
The entire tomb chamber was lit up by the surrounding firelight.
"Brother Banyue, you're something else."
Wang Kaixuan gave Wang Banyue a thumbs-up.
"You've got the demeanor of Fatty back in the day."
"Compared to Brother Kaixuan, I'm still a bit short."
Wang Banyue stabilized himself and replied with a polite phrase.
"Holy cow, what is this."
At this moment, as the entire tomb chamber was lit up, Wu Tianzhen was the first to exclaim.
The light shone on Zhang Qilin and the others, their shadows stretching long.
And the scene in the massive tomb chamber ahead made Zhang Tian swallow.
The entire tomb chamber resembled an ancient imperial palace.
A hall made of gold, and countless artifacts and antiques displayed on the ground.
And at the very top, a giant Buddha statue sat cross-legged.
On the lotus platform beneath the Buddha statue, a crystal coffin appeared almost dreamlike in the firelight.
Eighteen bald Arhats sat around the giant Buddha statue.
At this moment, the tomb chamber was like a Buddhist mortuary!
"Grandma, my dog never lived this luxuriously."
Wang Kaixuan was shocked.
If not for the lack of time, perhaps the Divine Emperor would have intended to make the entire tomb chamber out of gold.
There were eighteen steps leading to the coffin, symbolizing the eighteen celestial palaces.
And the coffin was beneath the Buddha statue; it was clear he wanted the Buddha to help him ascend.
"Such great ambition."
Zhang Tian said, his footsteps moving towards the interior of the tomb chamber.
The entire tomb chamber was lotus-shaped, even featuring petals, with an overall space of over a hundred meters.
And Zhang Tian and the others, standing in this tomb chamber, felt somewhat small.
"Boss, this Buddha statue looks like it's made of gold."
Fatty chuckled, his eyes already coveting the surrounding items.
He used to be a tomb raider, taking nothing. Now, he was raiding someone else's tomb, and he couldn't let Fatty hold back.
"Alright, Fatty, Young Master Wu, Brother Wang, you gather all the surrounding artifacts and valuables."
"We'll go examine the coffin and clear out any surrounding dangers."
Zhang Tian said softly.
This tomb chamber could not be completely safe; Zhang Tian had a premonition that there should be other tomb guardians here.
In the magnificent tomb chamber, Zhang Tian had an illusion of entering a Buddhist holy land.
The giant Buddha exuded an imposing aura.
And within the perfectly transparent crystal coffin lay an aged corpse.
A crystal coffin couldn't preserve a body from decay, but if some chemical agents were added to the corpse, it might meet the conditions for immortality.
At this moment, Zhang Tian, Zhang Qilin, and Hu Bayi slowly ascended the steps.
There were eighteen steps, not only representing the eighteen celestial palaces but also the eighteen levels of hell.
At this moment, Zhang Tian also suddenly thought of the remains.
"Below the celestial palaces lies hell."
"Hell and the celestial palaces are connected; without hell, there would be no celestial palaces!"
Zhang Tian murmured, a bold idea suddenly coming to him.
This guy was creating a beautiful celestial palace for himself!
"Trying to cross the sea under a false pretense?"
Zhang Tian muttered, and the group quickened their pace.
With each step, cracks appeared on the steps.
"Lord Divine Emperor's tomb is so magnificent."
Even the old Onmyoji, Guiye, was seeing such a scene for the first time.
This tomb chamber surpassed all his imagination.
"Holy cow, it's a bull-headed serpent statue."
"This is Tang Dynasty porcelain, and this, a bronze ding from the Warring States period!"
Wang Banyue stared at the surrounding burial objects, filled with excitement.
Even in Xia Guo, these were rarely encountered.
Let alone in Fuji Guo.
It was evident how many cultural relics they had stolen from Xia Guo back then.
How much treasure.
"Damn, these things that originally belonged to us are appearing here. If this Divine Emperor goes to heaven, none of us here can escape blame."
Wu Tianzhen said coldly.
He was already furious.
After taking all these artifacts away, if Wu Tianzhen didn't blow up this tomb, he wouldn't be Tianzhen!
At this moment, while Wu Tianzhen and the others were packing up the artifacts, Zhang Tian and the other two had reached the top of the steps.
Eighteen Arhat statues surrounded the giant Buddha statue.
And the crystal coffin in the center was extremely striking.
The crystal coffin was transparent, meaning they could easily see what was inside.
Inside the crystal coffin, a man wearing a golden outer robe and a hat.
A man with a small mustache lay in the coffin.
And there seemed to be other burial objects placed inside the coffin.
The overall appearance was quite luxurious.
"Movement."
Within five seconds of them reaching the top, Zhang Qilin's expression became serious.
The next moment, the Arhat statues by the Buddha statue actually moved!
And a strange smell gradually permeated the surroundings.
