Xiaobi look the Booble Map in the panel,
"I see so that's how it is."
In the Map panel, the Tomb of Ancient King and the Vault of Zei Qiang are connected to each other.
The reason why it wasn't discovered yet, because the entrance to the vault is at the northern part of the Infernal Plateau, while the entrance to the Tomb of Ancient King is located at the northern west of the Infernal Plateau. Which is miles away apart from each other's entrance.
The structure of the temple and the vault is similar to each other, since both are connected to each other, in other words the vault is just an annex to the temple.
Lin Wang mistook the Vault of Zei Qiang, as the temple of the Ancient King.
"Elder Lin Wang, If this is the Temple of the Ancient King, then why is there an array inputted in the wall, besides the entrance of the temple is located at the northern west."
"Probably, this is just a shortcut, or the exit of the temple."
"Wait a second, how did you know that the entrance of the Temple of Ancient kings is located a hundred miles away in the north- west?"
"The Treasure Mouse told me via sound transmission."
"What, your pet can talk to you? I'm starting to get envious that I want to rob you in the middle of the broad daylight." (walking further inside as they had a conversation.)
["Of course , it's a lie."]
"Wouldn't that ruin your image as a reputable elder in a Just Faction."
"You can really be naive, just because I belong to the side of justice, doesn't mean we are perfect, and free from greed."
"Like I said before, this is a dog eat dog world. If a cultivator wants to ascend to immortality they must dirty their hands, plunder others' possessions, and most cultivators become indifferent as they further breakthrough to become immortal."
"The indifference I'm talking about is not just a temporary mortal feeling of not giving a concern or being detached. But the essence of severing oneself from world attachment permanently.
"Cultivators in the just faction are no different from a bandit, we may protect the weak and look like the side of justice, but behind every action is calculated."
"Wow this world is really indeed dangerous."
"Of course, a country bumpkin like you wouldn't know how dangerous this *realm is."
(*referring to the middle realm.)
"Thank goodness, you meet me. If it was others you would probably be dead on the spot."
"Don't let others know your secret, and don't even show how special you are, unless you have the strength to protect yourself."
"Xiaobi will keep Elder Lin's advice in mind."
mumbling, "jeez, I can't believe that the future disciple that I'm going to accept is ignorant."

Lin Wang's favorability
towards you increase.

An hour has passed by and they still haven't reached any rooms,
"This place is indeed the inside of the temple, however I've never seen this place when I went with those inner disciples in my sect."
"Elder Lin, What if I told you this is just another structure, aside from the temple."
"What do you mean?"
"This is just an annex in the temple, they may be connected to each other, but they are different."
"Don't beat around the bush, and tell me directly what you know."
"This place isn't the temple that you went through, that's why you've never seen this place."
"If this is not the Temple of the Ancient kings then what is it?"
"We are currently inside the Vault of Zei Qiang,of course we are still in the Temple of Ancient Kings. This is just my speculation, I'm thinking that the thief Zei Qiang probably occupied 1/16 of the territory of the Temple of the Ancient Kings.
"What you have said is not just a mere speculation, it's the truth."
"According to what I read in the Sect. library. The notorious Zei Qiang was a thief that was famous in stealing martial art techniques, treasured artifacts related to qigong or speed. He isn't interested in riches and wealth."
"He is just obsessed with things that are related to things that let him escape at ease. One of the most famous techniques he use are earth escape, dazzling wind, water torpedo, the art of Ash Smog."
"If he is really obsessed with qigong/speed, then he wouldn't have probably used those kinds of techniques?"
"How would I know, only the notorious thief, Zei Qiang knows what's in his mind. I only read it in the book."
"I think he just wants to escape under any circumstances, since he is a kleptomaniac, and doesn't want to be caught or to be trapped."
"Let's stop talking about a dead person from a thousand years ago."
A few meters away, they finally saw an end to their walk. 100 meters across they saw a huge thick gate made of stones carved with an ancient drawing of an eastern dragon facing each other from the left and right door.
Upon arrival towards the door, Lin Wang tries to open it, by mere brute force. The door didn't even a single inch.
"I don't think that forcing our way on the door will open its way, there must be a switch, or any array hidden in this place, or some sort password to unlock the door since it is a vault in the first place."
"Squek, squek, squek", the treasured mouse pointed out something with his black slender cane.
"Elder Lin Wang, it seems to me that my pet has figured out something."
"Oh, let's see."
The Treasured Mouse pointed a single brick at the side of the wall.
