"We're going in too! I can't bear to miss this!"
The Supreme Leader of the Heavenly God Sect staggered to his feet, blood still dripping from his wounds, his tone filled with bitterness.
He knew that if word of today's events spread across the Eastern Wilderness, the Heavenly God Sect would be finished.
There had been ancient Emperors at the extreme Dao level in the history of the human race.
A peerless divine being had been suppressed by a human Emperor with a single palm.
Just these two pieces of information alone were enough to shatter the very foundation of the Heavenly God Sect!
At the side, Gu Wei Shen was no better off. Gone was the confident, domineering demeanor he had inside the Immortal Hall. He was as dejected and defeated as the leader of the Heavenly God Sect.
After the cultivators of the Six Major Factions, and even that black giant tiger, entered the ancient mine, a suspicious figure suddenly appeared from the distance.
"Immeasurable Tianzun, damn it, this can't be happening, it's impossible…"
Duan Yunsheng, staring blankly at the entrance of the mine where auspicious light was radiating outward, murmured to himself.
Everything that had just happened had been seen by his eyes.
And after realizing the true outcome, Duan Yunsheng was utterly stunned.
What the hell was going on?
What kind of trickery was this?
That ancient scroll treasure map I made up… I never expected there to be traces left by an ancient Emperor here!
Damn it, what have I done?!
Duan Yunsheng cried out in despair, his chubby face twitching as if every inch of his body was in pain.
He had never imagined that this mountain of gods would hold such a great secret!
The relics of an ancient Emperor!
This was far more precious and important than the tombs of the primordial ancestors.
How could I have been so blind? I should have investigated this earlier, not made a treasure map out of it!
Duan Yunsheng was incredibly frustrated.
Now, with all the human factions gathering here, he could no longer monopolize the secret of this relic.
He could barely even hope to get a sip of the "soup" at this point!
But despite feeling upset and regretful, Duan Yunsheng still hastened to follow into the ancient mine.
At this point, no matter what, even if I only get a little benefit, even if it's just a "sip of soup," I'll take it!
At the entrance to the mine, seeing Duan Yunsheng's face twitching and his brows furrowed in obvious pain, Qin Mu couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how regretful Duan Yunsheng felt, it was useless now.
The secret realm had been set up by Qin Mu himself just moments ago. Where had this guy been earlier?
Even if Duan Yunsheng had come earlier, he would have found nothing.
However, Qin Mu wasn't interested in explaining this to the chubby Taoist. He simply followed behind him and entered the ancient mine.
Let the fool stew in his frustration. Consider it his punishment for scamming people outside the city with his treasure map!
Inside the ancient mine, the Supreme Leaders of the human factions released their aura to protect their disciples, keeping a vigilant eye.
The ancient stele left behind by the Demon Clan's Semi-Emperor, though filled with immense killing intent, had been dormant and hidden unless provoked. As long as they didn't interfere with it, it would not explode.
Thus, the group cautiously bypassed the ancient stele and moved deeper into the mine.
The mine was not dark and cold, as one might expect, but instead filled with soft, flowing light that created a peaceful and holy atmosphere, illuminating the surroundings.
Rich spiritual energy surged through the mine, filling the air and causing the cultivators to be momentarily invigorated.
"This mine seems to be hiding a considerable amount of divine essence."
One of the human sect leaders remarked in awe, amazed that this sacred mountain actually contained true treasures.
The divine essence was still contained deep within the earth, and even the slightest leakage of its spiritual energy caused the entire mine to surge with vitality. The quality of the divine essence here was unparalleled.
"Speed up. There seem to be carvings on the walls of the mine ahead."
An elder sect leader with sharp eyes pointed out, urging the group to move faster.
They soon saw the difference.
On the walls of the mine, stone carvings began to appear, each one imbued with an ancient aura.
It was clear that these carvings were made by the ancients tens of thousands of years ago.
The carvings were not delicate, and some even looked somewhat rudimentary.
But each stroke was as powerful as a silver hook or iron stroke, as though they contained a soul, bringing the images to life, much like the first ancient stele Lu Ze had read earlier.
The group's spirits were lifted, and they couldn't help but turn their attention to the stone carvings.
Upon closer inspection, all of them held their breath!
In the first stone carving, a range of sacred mountains stretched across the horizon. In the center, one towering peak stood tall, dominating the others, majestic and imposing. Around it, clouds and mist swirled in a celestial display.
At the summit of that mountain stood a figure, a man with long black hair like a waterfall, standing tall with his hands behind his back. Above his head, an ancient bell floated serenely.
He stood at the very pinnacle of the world, quietly absorbing the grandeur of the moment, exuding an overwhelming aura as though he could swallow the universe and stand alone above all others.
It was impossible to describe the feeling this image gave, but everyone who laid eyes on this figure felt an undeniable sense of awe.
The stone carvings were ancient, and some parts had even begun to crumble, dust falling away.
Yet, the figure etched in the stone remained as if it had existed alongside the heavens and earth.
He stood on the peak, yet somehow, the viewers felt as if they were looking at a supreme ruler of an ancient Emperor, standing in the void of the cosmos, crushing all who dared oppose him!
With hands behind his back, standing on the mountaintop, the winds howling at unimaginable heights, this towering figure emanated an invincible, awe-inspiring aura that seemed to carry the weight of an eternal loneliness.
At this moment, all the beings in the room seemed to understand the meaning behind that loneliness.
Looking beyond eternity.
No past, no future.
Only standing alone in the clouds!
