Thousands of miles away from Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. Golden Dragon Town. With a population of about 10,000, it was a town similar in size to Qingniu Town. The common people worked from sunrise to sunset. There were various surnames here, including Li, Wang, Zhang, and Zhou. To the north of Golden Dragon Town was an ancient burial ground. All the people of Golden Dragon Town were buried here after they passed away.
[Yesterday you sought information about the ancestral land of Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, Golden Dragon Town, and obtained intelligence that although the imperial tomb of Tianchu is at Wolong Mountain, the true ancestral land is actually right below Dragon Head Point in Golden Dragon Town! With the changes of time, their ancestral tomb was buried 130 zhang deep, because the first generation ancestor of the Chu family was adopted into the Chu family and changed his surname to Chu, but the Chu family's ancestors were actually surnamed Li.]
"It seems the Chu family's history is too ancient, and their descendants have mistaken Wolong Mountain 100 li away as the ancestral tomb, forgetting their true place of origin!" Qin Wang muttered, looking at the intelligence on the panel.
According to Qin Wang's knowledge, the imperial tomb of the Chu family was built at Wolong Mountain, more than 100 li away from Golden Dragon Town.
Wan Yan Meng looked at the mountain ridge before her, confusion showing in her beautiful eyes. If Li Xiao Ye wanted to dig up the ancestral tomb of Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, going to Wolong Mountain would be the right way, so why come here? This place was over 100 li from the Chu family's ancestral tomb!
Isn't this going in the opposite direction?
"It should be here, let's dig and see!" Qin Wang said, his eyes lighting up as he surveyed Dragon Head Point to the north of Golden Dragon Town, bringing Wan Yan Meng, Zhang Fujiang, and Yan Cangwu with him.
"Zhang Fujiang, Yan Cangwu, you start digging!" Qin Wang immediately ordered his two servants.
"Yes, master!" Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu, each bringing Murong Tai, Mu Hun Yi, Chu Hun Er and eight other puppets, began to dig at a hidden spot below Dragon Head Point, storing all the excavated soil in storage bags.
All digging was done with Foundation Establishment stage spirit swords.
Before long, they had dug down over 30 zhang, creating a maze-like 10 zhang space underground.
"Li Xiao Ye, we've dug down over 30 zhang, and there's nothing but soil. I'm afraid this might not be the Chu family's ancestral tomb?" Wan Yan Meng stood beside Qin Wang, trying to persuade him as they found nothing.
"Keep digging, if we find nothing at 130 zhang, we'll give up." Qin Wang nodded, his expression determined.
While Qin Wang was digging up the Chu family's ancestral tomb...
In Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. Underground Palace.
"Ancestor, there's a terrifying existence sleeping tens of thousands of zhang beneath the imperial palace. Should we relocate the capital?!" Chu Wuya stood at the entrance of the underground palace, respectfully reporting with cupped hands.
"Relocate the capital?" Chu Yunxiao's brows furrowed deeply.
He had considered it too.
But relocating a capital wasn't a simple matter, it involved too much, and Tianchu was currently facing multiple crises, with everything going wrong.
Five days ago, Wuya's 18th generation great-great-grandson, 3-year-old Chu Rong, fell into a well and drowned.
Four days ago, a Golden Core cultivator of the Chu family went missing, and his soul tablet shattered that night.
Three days ago, a great fire broke out in Tianchu's imperial city, burning down nearly a thousand halls, killing the 18th generation descendant Chu Xian and over ten family members.
Yesterday, there was underground activity, and blood qi appeared under the spirit vein of the imperial city. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a terrifying supreme demon seemed to be sleeping tens of thousands of zhang deep under the imperial city. The Chu family's Nascent Soul cultivator, Chu Yunshang, was infected by that blood qi and is currently recovering. Just received news that the soul tablets of the Chu family's Golden Core cultivators Chu Hanlin and Chu Hancheng have also shattered.
Most troubling of all, the grand elder of Fengyao Holy Land and the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Tuoba family have come to press charges again, saying a mysterious person exposed detailed information about how the Chu family killed the holy son, holy daughter, and Tuoba Chunyan.
If they were to relocate the capital now, it would likely have a huge impact on Tianchu's fortunes.
However, the terrifying existence under the imperial palace had already been disturbed by the fifth brother. If it were to suddenly emerge, everyone would die.
"Wait a few days, I'll discuss it with the other ancestors before making a decision!" Chu Yunxiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Chu Wuya respectfully agreed with cupped hands, then turned to leave.
Tianchu Immortal Dynasty. Golden Dragon Town.
At Dragon Head Point, under a hill, there was a place covered by large tree vines. Lifting the vines revealed a large, deep hole inside.
Inside the deep hole.
Qin Wang sat cross-legged, while below Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu controlled several puppet soul seeds to continue digging.
On the cave walls, pieces of luminous white moonstone were placed, illuminating the cave as bright as day.
"Master! At a depth of 130 zhang, we've dug up a white spine!" The next morning, Zhang Fujiang suddenly came to report respectfully to Qin Wang with cupped hands.
"Oh?" Qin Wang heard this and immediately opened his eyes, showing a look of joy. "Bring it here for me to see!"
"Yes, master!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Fujiang immediately waved his hand, and a five-foot long bone resembling a spine appeared before Qin Wang.
This bone was light white in color, smooth on the surface, composed of segments of bone, clearly a human spine, but obviously much larger than a human spine.
Looking at it, Qin Wang actually had a sense of ancientness.
"Eh? The texture of this bone... it's somewhat similar to that powerful being's white bones!" A flash of insight suddenly crossed Qin Wang's mind as he looked at the excavated spine.
He waved his hand over his storage bag, and immediately two other white bones of the powerful being appeared next to the spine.
"Indeed, the texture and color are almost identical... Could this also be part of that powerful being's remains?" Qin Wang looked at the spine, his eyes showing contemplation.
His heart moved, and he immediately sent his divine sense to explore, but it was as if it encountered a protective shield and was instantly repelled!
"Eh?"
"This white bone..."
Qin Wang looked at the white bone, his eyes bursting with light.
This spine was extraordinary!
However, to uncover its secrets would require more research. By dawn tomorrow, he should be able to refresh information about the spine.
"Zhang Fujiang, you've done very well. Continue to dig ten zhang deeper and extend ten zhang in all directions to see if there are any other bones or other things!" With this in mind, Qin Wang immediately said to Zhang Fujiang.
"Yes, master!" Zhang Fujiang, having received Qin Wang's praise, immediately showed a look of joy and turned to go down into the pit.
