A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Lin Yang didn't waste any time. After purchasing information about the ancient ruins, he went straight into the ruins.

The ruins themselves are naturally separate spaces.

In the very center of the space, a large tomb stands.

Yes, that's right.

The entire ancient site is actually a large tomb.

"It is said that this was built as a cenotaph after the death of some extraordinary being. But even though it is just a cenotaph, it is still tainted with some of that being's aura and karma, which is why some treasures can be born here."

Lin Yang recalled some information about the ancient ruins and was deeply shocked when he looked at the large tomb.

Even a mere cemetery, without the actual remains of that being, could become the greatest opportunity on the ancient battlefield.

It's hard to imagine how incredible that being's strength must have been during their lifetime.

Lin Yang flew all the way to the entrance of the tomb and stopped, then slowly stepped inside.

The light inside the tomb dimmed considerably, but things were still clearly visible to the naked eye.

The corridor leading into the underground tomb was long, with lamps burning on both sides of the walls, but the light was extremely dim.

Lin Yang quickened his pace and soon arrived at a circular tomb chamber.

The tomb has nine passageways that lead into the darkness.

"This is the front burial area. Of the nine passages, only one connects to the central burial area. Each of the nine passages is also an independent space, where some opportunities may lie."

Lin Yang recalled the information he had previously purchased regarding the current state of the ancient ruins, looked at the third passage on the right, and then walked in.

Only one of the nine passages leads to the main burial area, but its location changes each time it is opened.

This time, the passage connecting to the main burial area is the third one on the right.

He entered the other passages more than three thousand years too late; all the resources and treasures inside must have already been looted by others, so there was no need to waste time going in.

Getting in early has its advantages; you can get some resources ahead of others.

The advantage of entering later is that you don't have to wait to test each passage; you can directly know which passage connects to the main tomb area.

The main tomb area has more resources, and the greatest opportunities and Dao Jade will also appear in the main tomb area.

Naturally, competition for the main burial area has become even fiercer.

Ordinary people won't participate in the battle for the main burial area, but watching the excitement is fine.

Although Lin Yang didn't intend to compete for the greatest opportunity, he still planned to go to the main tomb area to broaden his horizons.

Upon entering the passage, the scene before you suddenly changes, transforming from a dark tomb into a clear blue sky.

But soon, with a thought from Lin Yang, the scene before him changed back to the tomb passage.

"The barrier leading to the main tomb area has been cleared by the powerful individuals who entered earlier, so I can go directly to the main tomb area without having to undergo any further trials."

Lin Yang walked straight into the passage without encountering any trouble along the way.

At this point, another advantage of entering late also becomes apparent.

There were some challenges in the passage leading to the main tomb area. Only by passing the challenges could the barrier be broken and one could truly enter the main tomb area.

However, since he arrived late, the barrier had already been breached, allowing him to easily pass through the passage and head straight for the main tomb area.

Of course, while it saves a lot of trouble, there's no chance to get it.

Those who enter first will certainly face trials, but they will be the first to obtain various opportunities and treasures within the tomb area.

Entering early or late has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Those who enter early will reap the rewards.

It's easier to arrive late.

But overall, it's better to get in earlier.

After all, the resources in the main burial area are all treasures; even if you can't use them yourself, you can still sell them for a lot of money.

However, due to Lin Yang's seclusion and breakthrough, he could only take the easy way to get to the main tomb area.

Before long, Lin Yang had crossed the domain passage and arrived at the main tomb area.

The main burial area suddenly became much larger, and the light became bright again, making it indistinguishable from the outside world.

The main burial area is very simple, with only three large burial chambers.

The central burial chamber is naturally the main burial chamber where the cenotaph is located.

This tomb chamber is inaccessible.

Even though it's just a cenotaph, I don't want the spirits to be frequently disturbed by those who come after me.

The guardian tombs on the left and right are the birthplaces of the greatest opportunities.

Dao Yu will randomly appear in one of the guardian's tomb chambers each time.

When Lin Yang arrived, Dao Yu had not yet appeared.

In both the left and right tomb chambers, a large number of powerful figures were waiting for Dao Yu to appear.

Among them, the most eye-catching are the six who have been crowned kings!

Throughout the entire ancient battlefield era, there were a total of six strongest king-level beings.

They are the most famous Bao Ning King, as well as Tian Luo King, Kui Sang King, Mu Yu King, Kui Ling King, and Yan Shui King.

Of course, there are other powerful individuals comparable to kings, but they have either kept their abilities hidden or have only recently broken through and are not yet known to outsiders.

But regardless, the six with the most prestigious names are these six.

At this moment, the six kings occupy the left and right guardian tomb chambers respectively.

King Bao Ning, King Kui Ling in his purple robes, and King Mu Yu, who appears to be gentle, are in the left-hand tomb chamber.

The imposing King Kuisang, the King Yanshui with his red hair and even red eyebrows, and the seemingly ordinary King Tianluo are in the right-hand tomb chamber.

Each of them occupied a small area, all of them giving off an air of "keep away, strangers don't want to come near."

There was also a distance between them.

It seems they're keeping to themselves.

But everyone knows that once Dao Yu appears, the situation will no longer be as harmonious as it is now.

As Lin Yang was observing, he suddenly felt a chilling gaze sweep over him.

But when he looked back following that feeling, he found nothing unusual.

"Strange, my feeling just now was definitely right, someone was definitely showing me extreme hostility, but I don't know anyone here..."

Lin Yang murmured to himself, when a thought suddenly popped into his head.

He doesn't know anyone here.

So it's easy to guess who it is that immediately shows hostility towards him!
"The Chu Kingdom, it must be someone from the Chu Kingdom, maybe even the Chu Kingdom's ruler, Chu Jin!"

Lin Yang almost instantly recognized who the owner of that gaze was.

"The rulers of Chu Kingdom and Lanlou Kingdom are both on the ancient battlefield. With such a great opportunity opening up, there's no reason for them to miss it."

Lin Yang's gaze began to sweep across the scene.

Before entering the ancient battlefield, Tianheng showed him images of Chu Jin and the ruler of Lanlou.

This makes it easier for him to distinguish between friend and foe.

Soon, Lin Yang spotted Chu Jin among the crowd at the entrance to the right-hand tomb chamber.

"It sure is him!"

Lin Yang's eyes narrowed.

Chu Jin seemed to realize that Lin Yang had discovered him, and once again gave Lin Yang a sinister smile, after which he did not have any further communication with Lin Yang.

Clearly, Chu Jin cared more about the Dao Jade that was about to appear than about killing Lin Yang.

I don't want to waste any more time and energy with Lin Yang now.

Lin Yang was aware of this as well. He didn't look at Chu Jin any longer, but instead looked at everyone in the tomb again, but he didn't find the Lord of Lanlou.

"Has the King of Lanlou not come in yet?" Lin Yang thought to himself, then turned his gaze back to Chu Jin.

He wanted to experience this guy's strength firsthand.

Chu Jin is not particularly noticeable among the ordinary half-step cultivators.

But Lin Yang always felt that something was off about him.

"System, can you scan this guy? I have a feeling he's intentionally hiding his strength," Lin Yang asked the system.

His senses have always been very sharp, especially given the causal relationship of hatred between him and Chu Jin, which made Lin Yang feel that Chu Jin was not an ordinary half-step cultivator.

"Host, you can scan now, but the cost remains at 30 billion." The system replied very helpfully.

"Scan!" Lin Yang didn't say much. He still had a lot of national treasure points left, and he wanted to spend them.

Soon, the system provided the scan results, confirming his suspicions that the guy was deliberately hiding his strength.

"Host, scan complete. Chu Jin's strength is equivalent to that of a king."

The system is concise and to the point.

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "This guy has actually reached the King level?"

While those at the king level are certainly not as few as those on the surface, they are not easily attained.

"Chu Jin is hiding so well; it seems he also intends to seize the Dao Jade by surprise."

Lin Yang glanced at Chu Jin, who was mixed in with the crowd of ordinary half-step cultivators, and his eyes flickered.

Possessing king-level strength yet remaining unassuming, one's intentions are self-evident.

"There must be other king-level beings with similar strength to Chu Jin who are hiding their true power and lurking in the shadows. This ancient battlefield is indeed very deep."

Lin Yang glanced at the others again, but because he didn't have the same deep causal relationship as Chu Jin, he couldn't discover the other hidden king-level beings.

As for the system, scanning one person costs 30 billion, and the cost of locking down a king-level being in a crowd is astronomical.

Lin Yang did not have the system scan again.

Anyway, once Dao Yu comes out, all those people will show up.

He only needs to be wary of the First Flame for now.

Then, Lin Yang waited quietly.

He had originally planned to see if he could find any bargains when he got to the main cemetery.

However, seeing that everyone was waiting for Dao Yu to appear, he knew that after more than three thousand years, most of the treasures that could be taken from the two guardians' tombs this time had probably been looted, so he didn't waste any more energy.

Time passed little by little.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Yang saw the ruler of Lanlou Kingdom.

The feeling that the ruler of Lanlou Kingdom gave him was also very unusual, but he did not let the system scan him.

The ruler of Lanlou is one of our own, so the stronger he is, the better. There's no need to waste national treasure points.

When the King of Lanlou saw Lin Yang, he naturally recognized him immediately.

The two exchanged glances, which served as a greeting.

Then, shortly after the arrival of the ruler of Lanlou.

A bright light suddenly flashed in the left-hand guardian's tomb chamber.

At the same time, a vast aura of Daoist energy emanated from it.

"It's the Dao Jade! The Dao Jade has appeared!"

Boom.

Someone shouted out.

The entire main burial area instantly erupted in excitement.

Inside the guardian's tomb chamber on the left, King Bao Ning, King Kui Ling, and King Mu Yu all made their moves almost simultaneously, grabbing at the milky-white Dao Jade that exuded a vast Daoist aura.

But no one was able to obtain the Dao Jade immediately.

They were all stopped by others.

In the right-hand tomb chamber, King Kuisang, King Tianluo, and King Yanshui also rushed to the left-hand tomb chamber immediately.

Then, the power of the six kings erupted simultaneously, and with perfect coordination, they drove the onlookers from the left side of the tomb chamber in an instant.

Then the six of them faced each other, surrounding Daoyu, none of them giving way.

"The great battle is finally about to begin, but I wonder who will get the Dao Jade this time!"

Among the spectators, someone sighed softly.

Then, someone started a betting pool, guessing who would ultimately win the Dao Jade.

“I’m betting on King Ning. He has always been the strongest among us, and this time the Dao Jade will most likely go to him.”

"I'm also betting on Ningwang."

“I’m betting on King Kui Ling. On the surface, King Kui Ling is second only to King Bao Ning, but he hasn’t used his full strength for many years. He might have already surpassed King Bao Ning.”

“Agreed, I will also suppress the Kui Ling King.”

"I will suppress King Mu Yu."

"..."

As the betting pool opened, a large number of cultivators began placing their bets.

After almost everyone had placed their bets, the results were in.

The most popular bettors were King Ning, followed by King Kui Ling, then King Yan Shui, King Mu Yu, and King Kui Sang.

Tianlu Wang was ranked last, with the fewest people betting on him. Just like his own performance, he was unremarkable and didn't attract much attention.

Lin Yang did not participate in the betting.

After all... the education we receive from a young age is to stay away from gambling and drugs!
……

The tomb chamber on the left.

None of the six king-level beings dared to make a move again.

When facing Dao Yu, at their level, they either remain still or, once they make a move, they will strike with absolute certainty!
The six men stood facing each other, showing no signs of intending to hold out indefinitely.

But no one was in a hurry, because the Dao Jade would only appear once every hundred years.

If it is not obtained by anyone a hundred years later, it will disappear.

Therefore, the six king-level beings can only hold out for less than a hundred years at most, and there will inevitably be a great battle before the Dao Jade disappears.

For everyone present, less than a hundred years was but a fleeting moment.

Finally, in the eightieth year.

The six men made their move.

The immense power erupted and enveloped Dao Yu, but was blocked by the power of others just three inches away from Dao Yu.

"Get out of my way!"

King Bao Ning roared first, summoning his Dao weapon and heading straight for King Mu Yu, who was closest to him.

King Muyu naturally did not back down, and the two clashed instantly.

"King Bao Ning, how about we join forces to drive everyone else out first, and then each of us can rely on our own abilities?"

Suddenly, King Kui Ling spoke and moved closer to King Bao Ning.

Bao Ningwang's eyes flashed, then he nodded: "Okay!"

The two of them are the strongest among the six, and even if they join forces, they might not be able to defeat the four of them.

"Heh, Bao Ning, Kui Ling, you two think you can just kick the four of us out? Aren't you being a bit too confident?" King Mu Yu sneered.

"Whether you're confident or not, you'll know after the battle!"

King Bao Ning and King Kui Ling exchanged a glance and joined forces to attack the four without holding back.

Even with two against four, they were not at a disadvantage.

"King Bao Ning and King Kui Ling are indeed the two strongest among the six. The two of them together can actually withstand the attack of four people."

Some people marveled.

Half a day later, a figure suddenly broke away from the battlefield.

"Tianluo, what are you doing?"

The voice of Mu Yuwang, filled with shock and anger, rang out.

“I feel that continuing to fight would be a waste of time. I realize that my strength is inferior, so I will withdraw first.” King Tianlu smiled slightly and left the left side of the tomb chamber.

This scene instantly surprised everyone.

Even King Bao Ning and King Kui Ling were somewhat surprised.

Tianlu Wang was indeed not very noticeable among the six people.

But after all, he was one of the six kings, so even if he was bad, he couldn't be that bad.

Their decisive withdrawal now was truly unexpected. (End of Chapter)
