The layout of the entire tomb chamber was what drew Zhang Tian in.
In the front of the underground palace stood three great divine generals guarding the way.
Zhang Tian didn't recognize the appearance of these three divine generals.
However, Zhang Tian guessed that they must have been some of the Prince Xian's most trusted subordinates or generals during his lifetime, and after his death, they were turned into statues.
To guard him eternally.
Zhang Tian also felt sorrow for those who had served Prince Xian.
The walls of the entire underground palace were very high, like an ancient Egyptian palace, truly magnificent.
But Zhang Tian quickly shifted his gaze away from this grand structure.
"Boss, there seems to be a small door over there!"
Fatty's voice cut through the air.
His gaze fell upon a small door hidden in a corner.
The small door was tucked away in the corner, making it a bit difficult to spot.
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were also examining the surrounding walls and layout, and they hadn't noticed the small door.
Fatty, on the other hand, didn't understand much about these things and just liked to look for mechanisms and the like.
"With such a magnificent structure, if I could have taken pictures, it would have shocked the world. Alas, my camera is gone."
Xiao Guang sighed.
He didn't know if he would ever have the chance to come here again.
But Xiao Guang figured it was highly unlikely.
"The flames here are burning, which means there's no shortage of oxygen in the underground palace. We don't have to worry about oxygen issues."
"However, the deeper we go, the stronger that feeling becomes."
Shirley Yang spoke from the side.
"What feeling?"
Hu Bayi's hoarse voice came.
"Danger. I seem to feel that there is danger ahead!"
Shirley Yang said.
"There's a small door over there, let's go take a look."
Zhang Tian spoke, interrupting Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi's conversation.
Hu Bayi nodded and patted Shirley Yang's back.
"It's alright, we're here. Besides, Brother Er and Boss are very strong, so it should be fine."
"Moreover, my cultivation has also broken through, our overall strength is not to be underestimated."
Hu Bayi said softly.
The strength of Zhang Tian's team could now be considered unparalleled in the outside world.
In the current era, there were very few people with strength greater than Zhang Tian's team.
Of course, this excluded the dead.
Shirley Yang nodded, no longer dwelling on it. Fatty, on the other hand, was already leading the way.
On the grand staircase, in a dark corner, a small door was hidden.
Zhang Tian was also curious, was Fatty's eyesight that sharp? He could spot such a small door.
Nowadays, even Fatty was starting to have explosive luck.
The group walked up the stone steps, not too quickly.
Meanwhile, Professor Li and the others were still looking at the surrounding architecture, as if they couldn't get enough of it.
Passing through a huge stone statue, Zhang Tian followed Fatty behind it.
And that small door was hidden in the shadows behind the statue.
Entering the area of the small door, the searchlight shone.
The scene before them made Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin's expressions tense.
Around the small door were carved a series of strange symbols.
Even the door itself was covered with many runes.
Among all the symbols on the door, Zhang Tian only recognized two characters above it.
"Tian Men!"
Seeing the two large characters before him, Fatty pouted.
"You really think you can ascend to heaven? It'd be good if you don't go to hell."
Fatty grumbled, pouting.
Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin exchanged a glance, and both of them simultaneously drew their weapons.
Zhang Tian also began to throw talismans on the ground, setting up a formation.
"What's wrong with them?"
Seeing Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin's strange actions, Professor Li's face was filled with confusion.
It's just a door, why such tension?
Look at the Fatty brother, he doesn't look tense at all.
"The corpse energy here is very heavy."
Hu Bayi said softly, and then also took out his peach wood sword.
Seeing Zhang Tian and the others so tense, Xiao Guang also felt uneasy.
This was the first time they had ever seen Zhang Tian so nervous.
This undoubtedly put a lot of psychological pressure on Professor Li and the others.
"Teacher Li, should we get ready?"
Xiao Guang was starting to feel scared.
"This..."
Professor Li looked at himself. Besides gas masks, all they had were firearms they had salvaged from the plane wreckage.
But would those firearms be effective against those strange creatures? Professor Li didn't know.
"When we go in later, you all wait outside. Remember, do not touch anything outside."
Zhang Tian looked at Professor Li and the others.
If they were to go in, Zhang Tian could imagine the consequences.
If a fight broke out, Zhang Tian wouldn't be able to prioritize Professor Li and the others' lives.
Professor Li nodded.
To be honest, seeing Zhang Tian and the others so serious, he no longer wanted to go in.
Things that could make Zhang Tian so serious, Professor Li didn't have the confidence to survive.
"Alright, then Brother Zhang, we won't go in. Be careful."
Professor Li nodded, his decision quite decisive.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Then, Professor Li and the others didn't linger by the small door, but walked away in another direction.
Clearly, they knew their place, and this was not a place for them to be.
Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the small door before him.
"The symbols on it are probably some kind of runes, they should have some effect on whatever is inside."
Zhang Tian said softly, looking at the runes.
"Could this be related to Prince Xian's ascension to immortality?"
"As far as I know, every immortal has their own unique legendary deeds."
Shirley Yang spoke from the side.
"That's the Investiture of the Gods, but for Prince Xian to ascend, he would likely need to pass through the Heavenly Gate."
"Boss, this door isn't locked. Prince Xian is truly bold. Isn't he afraid of someone sneaking in at night, opening his coffin, and gently taking all his treasures?"
Fatty looked around, completely ignoring the surrounding symbols, and spoke about the door before him.
Since it wasn't locked, opening it was much simpler.
After Zhang Tian looked around and found no issues, he reached out and pushed the stone door.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi stood to Zhang Tian's right, and together they pushed open the heavy Heavenly Gate.
As the Heavenly Gate opened, an extremely strong wave of corpse energy rushed out.
As the corpse energy spread, it made Zhang Tian and the others' hearts sink.
"My god, it's so dark in here. Boss, is Prince Xian farting inside?"
Looking at the black smoke around them, Fatty covered his mouth.
"Shhh."
Zhang Tian made a shushing gesture.
Seeing this, Fatty quickly shut his mouth.
In the dense corpse energy, Zhang Tian's whisk faintly emitted a subtle glow.
As the surrounding corpse energy dissipated, the group walked down the path ahead.
This was also the core area of Prince Xian's underground palace.
"The feng shui here is almost identical to our Taoist feng shui formations!"
Hu Bayi spoke. Zhang Tian also noticed that the internal feng shui largely adhered to the Taoist principles for achieving immortality.
It was evident how strong Prince Xian's desire for ascension was.
After the group had walked for a short while, a huge statue appeared again, and at the same time, a terrifying stone bridge appeared before them.
"Bridge of Three Lives!"
