Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Great Qin

Slowly entering the interior, the ground was made of dark rocks, cold and solid, emitting a chilly aura. The original Daye Mountains had disappeared. Enveloped by the black mist gushing from a distance, one could vaguely see a faint light in the distance.

What's going on? Zhong Shan had a guess in his mind already.

It seemed that the original Daye Mountains were simply illusory and did not exist at all. It was an illusion created by the Feng Shui formation. The Feng Shui formation was not just a formation but a world created out of thin air.

Just like the previous Fengdu Ghost City, the fact that it collapsed along with the Feng Shui formation indicated that within the Flower Blossom World, Fengdu Ghost City should have been suppressing something under the Feng Shui formation.

Suppressing the tomb of the Celestial Emperor? No, it was this great hole spewing black mist beneath.

What was this great hole? Zhong Shan happened to know.

The Abyss!

Zhong Shan's first encounter with the Abyss was on Tianlang Island. Before joining the Kaiyang Sect, he obtained the place where the Heavenly Demon Essence originated. At that time, he heard from the Grim Reaper that there was an Abyss below. Therefore, when he joined the Kaiyang Sect, Zhong Shan specifically asked Tianxingzi about it.

What was the Abyss?

The world was divided into yin and yang, and the earth had two types of springs. One spewed out the aura of the earth's yang, called yang springs, and each yang spring was a volcano. The other spewed out the aura of the earth's yin, which was the Abyss. The Abyss was generally located beneath glaciers, and the size of the icebergs varied depending on the strength of the Abyss.

The Yan Mountain Peak and Snow Bamboo Peak of the Kaiyang Sect were actually two small springs, one yang spring and one Abyss.

The previous Feng Shui formation was actually sealing an Abyss.

The aura of the earth's yin, was the Emperor's tomb built on top of the Abyss's spring? Impossible.

During the time on Tianlang Island, the Grim Reaper was instantly frozen into fragments and then dispersed by a slight aura of the earth's yin. Although he didn't release his protective aura at that time, how could a tomb be built on top of it?

Zhong Shan swiftly flew towards the source of light. When he arrived not far from the glowing interior, the visibility improved significantly, and Zhong Shan finally saw the scene inside.

Princess Qianyou, Ada, A'er, and others who had entered the interior before were flying in mid-air out of thin air, surrounded by protective auras, all watching the light source together.

At the source of light was a crystal city. The city was not large, resembling an ordinary earthly city, and its interior could be seen.

Above the city floated the name "Great Qin".

Great Qin City?

Great Qin City had no bottom, or it was transparent at the bottom, with a large amount of the earth's yin aura directly penetrating the city and then shooting up from the top.

In the city stood a hundred thousand soldiers in armor, but these soldiers didn't move at all, nor did they release their protective auras. They just stood there, allowing large amounts of the earth's yin aura to enter and emerge from their bodies, as if their bodies were being tempered by countless earth's yin auras.

Tempering the body with the earth's yin aura? This was unthinkable; no one could endure it.

Each of these soldiers had a golden talisman affixed above their heads.

Zombies?

Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan's first thought was zombies. Mr. Corpse on Tianlang Island used this kind of talisman to seal zombies in the end.

A hundred thousand zombie army?

Zhong Shan swallowed his saliva. Great Qin City was not large, but it exuded strangeness everywhere.

At the heart of an army of a hundred thousand zombies lay a massive amethyst coffin. Inside this coffin was a corpse—a male corpse dressed in a gold-threaded black dragon robe and wearing a flat-topped crown. His left hand clutched a jade seal engraved with nine dragons—could it be the imperial jade seal of the Heavenly Empire? His right hand grasped a pitch-black longsword.

The corpse of the Heavenly Emperor? But Zhong Shan couldn't see his face, for it was covered by a dark jade-colored talisman.

The onlookers, their eyes red with fervor, stared at the amethyst coffin. Was this truly the body of the Heavenly Emperor? The jade seal in his left hand and the sword in his right hand must be extraordinary treasures.

An endless stream of dark, sinister energy seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, erupting skyward. Yet, as the pressure dissipated, the black energy slowly ceased its ascent and gradually receded, merely bathing the eerie Great Qin City in its presence.

In the sky, moonlight gently descended, but the moon had already moved to the west. It had been a long time since the attempt to break the formation began, and dawn was approaching.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the amethyst coffin in the center of Great Qin City. The imperial jade seal, the sacred sword, and the emperor's corpse inside—even if turned into a puppet, it would be an incredibly formidable entity.

"Whoosh!"

As everyone prepared to rush towards Great Qin City, Emperor Bai Ye stood firm, his massive blade blocking their path.

With his blood-red saber pointed directly at the three other factions, he declared, "Everyone, please leave. Breaking the Feng Shui formation was my doing. Now, quickly retreat, and Bai Ye will owe you all a favor."

Bai Ye, the Emperor of the Great Enterprise, was named Bai Ye.

"Bai Ye, do you intend to monopolize the tomb's treasures?" Huiguang Arhat's eyes widened in anger.

Mr. Water Mirror fanned himself silently, while Gulin appeared slightly agitated. Princess Qianyou, along with Ah Da and Ah Er, remained silent. Eighth Demon Luo stood behind Evil Flame, as if everything was decided by him. Evil Flame squinted at Bai Ye, his gaze sharp.

Huiguang Arhat was particularly furious at this moment. Just outside Fengdu Ghost City, the Pure World Snow Lotus had been swallowed by the Ghost King. Uncertain about the truth of Fengdu City's situation, one thing was clear—the Pure World Snow Lotus was gone. How could he explain this to the Bodhisattva? If he could obtain something from the Heavenly Emperor, it might mitigate his failure. Therefore, Huiguang Arhat was determined to succeed.

As Bai Ye spoke, numerous Nascent Soul stage experts behind him charged towards Great Qin City.

"Scoundrels!"

Huiguang Arhat's eyes widened, and he rushed forward, clenching his right fist and striking fiercely at Bai Ye.

With this punch, a colossal golden fist appeared mid-air. It wasn't just a manifestation of fist energy but seemed like the actual fist of a giant, its golden glow revealing blood vessels and flowing blood within.

"Ha!"

Emperor Bai Ye swung his massive blade, which seemed to enlarge a thousandfold. The blood-red saber's swing enveloped the surroundings in crimson energy, turning the sky blood-red and conjuring countless spectral warriors and weapons, which surged towards Huiguang Arhat.

"Boom!"

Zhong Shan felt the ground tremble as the surrounding dark energy dissipated. Even from a great distance, the earth beneath his feet shook violently.

The powerful clash was marked by the Emperor Bai Ye's blood-red saber slicing through the air, sending a crimson glow skyward. In an instant, the distant battlefield was engulfed in a blood-red light, obscuring the scene from Zhong Shan's view. Only the resounding impact could be heard, and when the light finally faded, Zhong Shan could see again.

Emperor Bai Ye stood triumphantly, his blood-colored saber held high, his face fierce. In contrast, Huiguang Arhat had been sent flying, clutching his chest. His robes were torn open, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a mixture of shock and uncertainty as he stared at Emperor Bai Ye.

Too powerful. Even though both were of the same Huangji realm, Huiguang Arhat was no match for Bai Ye's single strike and was decisively defeated. Bai Ye's demonstration was a clear warning to others, discouraging them from reckless actions.

However, the lure of the treasures was too great to abandon because of Bai Ye's display. Huiguang Arhat slowly drew out a golden staff, while Eighth Demon Luo unsheathed a broad sword from his back. Mr. Water Mirror gripped his feather fan tightly, and Princess Qianyou took out a slender sword.

None were in a rush, as they observed the Nascent Soul stage experts ahead, who had not yet breached Great Qin City. It seemed an invisible barrier repelled them; one general who charged forward was instantly bounced back.

Zhong Shan focused on Great Qin City, his eyes shifting to the amethyst coffin at its center. Initially, there was nothing unusual, but as the coffin lay exposed, the dark jade talisman on the emperor's face began to emit a faint silver glow.

The glow was subtle, perhaps unnoticed by others, but it caught Zhong Shan's attention. Strange runes on the talisman started to illuminate, tracing a path from top to bottom. As more runes lit up, the sky suddenly darkened, and the surrounding moonlight seemed to be drawn to the talisman, which began to radiate an intense silver light.

Under the gaze of all those besieging Great Qin City, the glowing talisman slowly lifted from the emperor's forehead, floating upwards as if drawn towards the moon. It seemed ready to break through the city's barrier. The dark jade talisman, a mysterious and undoubtedly extraordinary artifact, was now free.

"Everyone, break the city! Seize the imperial jade seal and the sacred sword!" Bai Ye suddenly shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

"Yes!" The Nascent Soul generals, along with the five legion commanders, roared in unison, raising their weapons and striking at Great Qin City.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of powerful cultivators struck simultaneously, their combined attack rivaling Bai Ye's previous strike. The resulting shockwave made the space around Zhong Shan tremble violently. Dazzling golden light flashed, once again obscuring the distant scene. Suddenly, a swift object whizzed past Zhong Shan's ear, carried by a fierce wind.

Though he couldn't see what it was, Zhong Shan's reflexes were exceptional. Without hesitation, he shot towards the direction of the object, the red lotus at his brow glowing more intensely.
