My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 787 Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum
"Ten thousand incense sticks..."

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that when he was demonstrating swordsmanship, it was only 5000 incense points. He did not expect that Mengtou, who had no fighting power, would double it.

So should we deduce it?
Jiang Xinghuo only thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision in his heart. Although these 10000 incense points were expensive, they were still worth it compared to the effect of Mengtou, especially since it could predict potential dangers, which would give him a chance to avoid death.

In the game, he is not afraid of death, and he can be reborn repeatedly and cause as much trouble as possible.

But in reality, there is only one life. Even if there is the seed of the Grain in Ear Immortal in the heart, it only adds a few more chances of resurrection. And once the seed in the heart is activated, everything will have to start all over again, so these 10000 incense flowers are still worth it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and directly chose yes. Although he was not very proficient in divination techniques, he knew one or two, which just happened to be integrated with the blessing of Linglong Immortal.

But then again, the image of Linglong Immortal is an old man with an iron face and curly beard, which was somewhat beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations. In his opinion, a person who can be given this title, even if he is not a wise celestial being, must be a wise Confucian scholar. The image of an old man with an iron face and curly beard is more in line with his understanding of the Martial Lord.

"You have activated the ability of the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"You used the blessing of Linglong Immortal as the foundation of your path, and integrated the method of deduction and divination, burning incense as firewood, and began to gradually integrate these powers into one."

Just when Jiang Xinghuo thought that everything was fine and all he had to do was wait, new game text suddenly popped up on the screen.

"It has been detected that you have fragments of the law of causality in your body. Do you want to incorporate the characteristics of the law of causality into it?"

"Note, if you choose to incorporate the characteristics of the law of cause and effect into the deduction, you will need to add 10000 more incense sticks to the current level."

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth and thought that although he didn't see any money coming in, he did get a lot of investment.

Twenty thousand incense points is not a small number. If you put them in the niche shop, you can buy an item of rare quality. If you are lucky, you can also try the epic level.

But now, to deduce a magic, it takes so much money. But if he doesn't continue to deduce, he feels a little unwilling. What if he integrates the law of cause and effect into it, he can gain more powerful power.

Think about it.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to give it a try. It was just 20,000 incense points, which he could afford. If it really didn't work, he would go to other places to reap the harvest after leaving Tai Sui Cave, and he would be able to make up for the loss anyway.

"You have lost the incense - 20000."

"In the process of fusion deduction, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for nearly half an hour. On the silver-white virtual panel in front of him, countless data streams that he could not understand flashed by, circulating in his field of vision like a waterfall.

"The fusion is complete."

"You have acquired a brand new technique through the Sky-Watcher's Eye. This technique is based on the law of cause and effect and the Linglong Technique, and incorporates various divination techniques. It has the ability to predict murderous intent and danger."

"Please name your newly derived magic:"

A text dialog box popped up on the screen, and Jiang Xinghuo typed the two words "萌头" that he had prepared long ago into the dialog box.

"You have successfully named your newly derived technique - Mengtou."

"You have successfully mastered the method of Mengtou."

The moment the game text flashed by, the virtual data stream on the silver-white panel also escaped into Jiang Xinghuo's mind like a flying rainbow.

The secret of practicing the Mengtou Method was also imprinted deep in his mind, and it was impossible for him to forget it even if he wanted to.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the content on the mobile phone screen again.

"Moe Tou: It can greatly enhance the practitioner's sensitivity. If there is targeted malice or murderous intent, the practitioner will immediately notice it. And because it integrates the characteristics of the law of cause and effect, the practitioner can also trace the source of the malice through the causal line."

"Note that to spy on the source of evil through the causal line, one needs to have the law of cause and effect as a foundation. If a practitioner does not have the law of cause and effect, then he can only sense the potential evil and cannot trace the source."

Jiang Xinghuo read the text carefully. Although everyone can practice this innovative method, if one wants to truly achieve the state of preparing for a rainy day, he must have the law of cause and effect as the foundation.

It can also be said that this Mengtou Technique is a spell tailor-made for oneself, and it is difficult for others to exert its true power when practicing it.

After deducing the method of Mengtou, Jiang Xinghuo continued to read the text. He remembered the content described in the text. In addition to Linglong Immortal, there was also a graceful middle-aged man. He didn't know where the other party came from.

"You looked up at the elegant middle-aged man. He just kept looking at you with a smile, allowing you to use the Sky-Watcher's Eye to perform magic without stopping or affecting you in any way."

"When he saw you looking at him, he gave you something as well. An illusory projection quickly condensed in front of him, and finally evolved into a brilliant starry curtain, sinking into your body."

"You have received the blessing of the Lord of Stars."

"The Lord of Stars, the first master of the Star Academy in the City of Origin, possesses the mysterious power of the starry sky and can capture stars and moons for his own use. No less than a dozen ancient gods have died at his hands, but he suddenly disappeared mysteriously later. Except for a few people, no one knows his whereabouts."

Seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but be shocked. The first generation master of the Star Academy!
While exploring the City of Origin, he obtained the Nine-Section Staff that allowed him to enter the Star Academy.

But that was just the most ordinary token, and it meant he was an ordinary academy disciple. Unexpectedly, he now received the blessing of the first generation Star Lord.

"Zhou Tian Xing Dou Tu (permanent blessing state), the Lord of the Stars evolves a star field that he has condensed into a map, forming a small universe of stars. The rules and order within it are all set by the holder of the map."

"Moreover, this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Tu also has the ability to travel through space. Even if it is separated by thousands of cave worlds, it can still return to the user's hands in an instant."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the Zhoutian Star Map and became more and more curious about what was behind the cave. The fact that the Linglong Immortal and the First Generation Star Lord could guard the cave in the form of residual souls was enough to show that there was something extraordinary hidden in it.

"The figures of Linglong Immortal and Star Lord have disappeared, and there are no more obstacles in front of you. Do you still want to move forward?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

If he didn't go deeper to find out what was going on, he would be unwilling to give up. Even if he died in there, he would accept it even if he died a dozen or twenty times. "You chose to go deeper."

"Without the obstruction of those pale figures, you soon reached the end of the cave, and a magnificent yet ancient underground palace quietly appeared in your field of vision."

"You can't describe the magnificence of this underground palace in front of you in words. You only know that the scale of this underground palace is something you have never seen before."

"You walked closer and found a huge stone tablet in front of the stone bridge leading to the underground palace. It was engraved with a picture of a grand ceremony. You looked carefully at the content on the stone tablet and suddenly found that you seemed to have seen the same thing somewhere before."

"Ah! You remembered!"

"When you were exploring the underground palace left by Mr. Huang He, you found a picture of offering sacrifices to the heavens. It was a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens held by the Lord of the Earthly World of the previous civilization before the destruction of that civilization. The celebration ceremony depicted on this stone tablet is the entire process of that ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens."

Seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo was suddenly startled. Could it be that this underground palace in front of him was related to the secular master of the previous civilization?

Then, new game text popped up on the screen.

"You find that the stone tablet in front of you suddenly begins to vibrate violently, and a scarlet word that looks like blood slowly emerges. It is an ancient word from the ancient times of the secular world - Destruction!"

"This huge word 'Extinction' seemed to have just been written, and a pungent smell of blood continued to flow down, and more words also emerged on the stone tablet."

"You carefully identified those blood-colored characters and found that they were actually a curse: Anyone who trespasses into the Emperor's Mausoleum will have the sun and moon destroyed, and all living things buried!"

"You immediately understood that the curse on this stone tablet can also be regarded as a warning, warning outsiders not to go deep into it, otherwise this stone tablet will become the tombstone of the trespasser."

"Do you want to go deeper?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had really come to the Tai Sui Cave and saw with his own eyes the stone tablet with the bloody curse flowing on it.

"The sun and the moon can be destroyed, and all things will be buried..."

"The Emperor's Tomb..."

“Could this be the mausoleum of the last civilization’s earthly master?”

This thought suddenly came to Jiang Xinghuo's mind, and when he thought of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony on the stone tablet, the headless phoenix corpse outside, and the residual souls of the Lord of the Stars and Linglong Immortal, he felt more and more that this underground palace was the imperial tomb of the lord of the old secular world!

The game text that pops up next also proves this.

"You have discovered the remains of the old world - the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum."

"The Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum is the relic left after the destruction of the old secular world. It is also the resting place of the Xuanyuan Emperor, the lord of the old secular world."

"In the old secular civilization, every emperor was called Emperor Xuanyuan. He possessed supreme divine power and status, and dominated the world with his weapons and killing. Even those ancient gods from outer space did not dare to compete with him easily."

"According to some ancient records, after the fall of the old secular world, Emperor Xuanyuan buried his body in the imperial mausoleum, and built 365 suspicious tombs according to the scale of the imperial mausoleum. Each imperial mausoleum is extremely hidden. Unless you can find the body of Emperor Xuanyuan in it, any suspicious tomb can be said to be an imperial mausoleum."

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath, suppressed his restless mood, and then controlled the character to enter the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum in front of him.

"You ignored the curse and warning on the stone tablet and entered the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum without hesitation. What appeared before you was a barren land, but the ground was filled with countless incense burners, each of which had three incense sticks burning. However, most of the incense sticks had been burned out, and some had gone out halfway through burning. Only a very small number of incense sticks were still burning, emitting faint green smoke."

"Would you like to come closer and take a closer look?"

"You walked closer and placed your hand on an incense burner. A scene flashed before your eyes like a revolving lantern. You saw the devastated earth and sky. Unknown faces appeared in the void, ruthlessly looking down at the creatures fleeing in panic on the earth. Finally, a bolt of lightning completely turned "you" into ashes."

"You woke up from the illusory revolving lantern, and had some guesses about what you had just experienced. Then you reached for another incense burner, and saw the same scene, but the way you died was a little different. You died under the clutches of a six-day ghost."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo had some guesses in his mind.

The incense burners in this imperial mausoleum should represent the sentient beings in the previous world. Each incense burner represents a life, and the revolving lanterns you see are the ways they died in their lifetime.

An extinguished incense burner means death.

Needless to say, the burning incense burner must be the remnant of the old secular world who are still alive.

For example, the old man in the ancestral hall in Taiping Ancient Town and the old Tantric monk in the Three Generations Ghost Temple.

"You triggered it, Moeto."

"You suddenly sensed a deadly danger. An indestructible bronze sword appeared behind you at some point and chopped down fiercely on your head. Fortunately, your Mengtou Jutsu detected it in time, and the Nine Deaths Cicada transformed into a virtual form to avoid the fatal sword."

"But even so, you still feel a sharp pain that rips your heart and lungs apart. That's because this bronze sword can not only kill your body, but also cause damage to your soul."

"But what surprised you was that this bronze sword only attacked you once, and after that it stuck diagonally into the ground, as if it had lost its original spirituality. Do you want to go over and pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally chose yes.

"You approached cautiously, but the bronze sword remained indifferent. You placed your hand on the hilt, and the bronze sword trembled slightly before no longer reacting, as if you could control it at your will."

"You have obtained the Xuanyuan Sword - Replica."

"Xuanyuan Sword·Imitation (Special Item). Emperor Xuanyuan's personal weapon is the Xuanyuan Sword, which is also the ancestor of all swords in the world. It has the power to shatter time and space. The bronze sword in your hand is the same shape as the Xuanyuan Sword, and contains a trace of spatial power. It can cut through space to attack the enemy, but the power it possesses is less than one ten-thousandth of the original sword."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out the imitation Xuanyuan Sword. Although it was a imitation, it had to be said that the imitation was very well done.

At least the only item in my hand that can be compared with its quality is the unruly Overlord Halberd, the others are inferior to it.
