The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Upon reaching the cave entrance, the space suddenly opened up before them, and everyone once again felt the warmth of the sunlight.

37172 Novel Group 9119

At the same time, a spectacular sight came into view!

The group was currently on the edge of a cliff, and there were dozens of similar mountain peaks with caves in their bodies in front of them.

Dozens of mountain peaks surrounded the canyon in front of them, making it look like a volcanic crater. They were currently on one of the peaks inside the crater.

The cave beneath the feet of the four people is a path, while the caves on the other peaks are waterfall caves!

At a glance, one can see hundreds of waterfalls of all sizes gushing out from the mountain, rushing towards the huge pool at the bottom of the canyon like water dragons.

Hundreds of water jets crashed against the pool, splashing up countless waves and sprays. The air was thick with moisture, as if you could wring water out of your hand.

These water vapors rose up and, when illuminated by the sunlight, formed countless rainbows in the sky, some large and some small. These countless rainbows intertwined and blocked everyone's view, so that at a glance, one could not even see what lay beyond the rainbows.

At the highest point of the rainbow layer, a celestial palace stands majestically. From afar, only the palace's jeweled top can be vaguely seen, while the rest of the area is shrouded in rainbows and mist.

To the naked eye, the view above the celestial palace was completely obscured, as if it were a heavenly palace lifted up by a rainbow of colorful rays.

Upon seeing this, all four of them looked horrified.

They all knew that this heavenly palace wasn't actually built in the sky, but... that was indeed the scene they could see.

"Grass!"

Fang Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.

This Lingyun Palace is ridiculously exaggerated! From a distance, it really looks like a temple lifted up by colorful clouds, just like watching Journey to the West.

"Fang Yun... are you sure this isn't built in the sky?" The old foreigner stared blankly at the Heavenly Palace and asked Fang Yun.

Fang Yun shook his head and smiled helplessly.

No wonder King Xian chose this location for his tomb, believing it to be a special spot that could activate the miraculous effects of the Muchen Pearl.

All I can say is that if this place isn't a good place, then there's probably no good place in the whole world.

The ancient immortal cave, Water Dragon Halo... truly lives up to its name, it's terrifying beyond belief!

After watching for a while, Fang Yun finally recovered from the immense visual shock and addressed the crowd:

"Let's go, it's better to go up and explore it ourselves than just look at it here."

Hearing Fang Yun's words, the three of them came to their senses, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Having arrived here, they now understood why Shuilongyun was called an ancient immortal cave.

With its majestic grandeur, vast expanse of misty waters, and exquisite beauty, this place is truly a fairyland; such a spectacle should not exist in the human world.

................

Beside the cliff at the cave entrance, there is an ancient stone walkway that stretches for a kilometer, winding along the cliff and disappearing behind the rainbow formation at its end.

The ancient stone walkway is not very wide, only a little over a meter, but it is all carved into the cliff face, so there is no need to worry about safety.

After inquiring for a while, the four of them went directly onto the plank road and slowly moved forward along the cliff.

Before long, the group arrived at a corner.

At the end of the plank road is a stone platform, which splits into two plank roads. One plank road is a white jade plank road that goes straight up the cliff and into the heavenly palace.

The other plank road is also a stone plank road, which slopes steeply down the cliff and points directly to the pool at the bottom of the valley.

However, the stone walkway leading down the path was deliberately destroyed. Dozens of stone steps closest to the group were completely removed, and the closest stone steps on the walkway were now more than ten meters away from them.

Seeing the destroyed plank road, Partridge Whistle nodded thoughtfully and said:

“Brother Fang, since this plank road is built to the bottom of the valley, there must be some hidden secrets in the valley.”

· ·········Request flowers· ···

"Perhaps, as Brother Fang speculated, the tomb of King Xian is hidden at the bottom of the valley. After all, this heavenly palace in front of us is too conspicuous and has nothing to do with theft prevention."

He didn't think the tomb of King Xian was so easy to rob. The gourd-shaped hole showed how much King Xian valued the tomb's security, so it was impossible for him to have placed the tomb in such an obvious location.

"That should be true, but we still need to explore this Heavenly Palace. We might find some useful information."

Fang Yun nodded in agreement, then stepped onto the white jade steps and headed towards the Heavenly Palace. The three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companion, quickly followed.

These white jade steps rise straight up, ending at the Heavenly Palace.

.... . .......

Walking on these white jade steps, everyone could finally see the appearance of the Heavenly Palace clearly.

The Heavenly Palace was built in the style of the Qin and Han dynasties. It has all kinds of pavilions and towers, and there are also a lot of decorative elements such as divine walls, pavilions, steles and platforms outside the palace.

Beneath the base of the Heavenly Palace, a massive, protruding rock supports the palace, surrounded by rosy clouds and mist.

It was precisely because the rosy clouds and water vapor obscured the mountain rocks that the structure beneath the celestial palace could not be discerned when it was directly facing the palace.

After walking up the white jade steps, the group stepped onto a white jade platform, and only then did they officially ascend to this celestial palace.

Looking ahead, the entire front hall of the celestial palace comes into view.

At first glance, it doesn't seem particularly special; the architectural style is that of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the main hall is built according to the specifications of the morning court hall in the imperial palace.

But...

The entire structural framework of this hall is made of sandalwood, with countless patterns carved into it and filled with gold paint. Even the roof tiles and carvings are made of various gold and jade.

This grand hall, at first glance, looks like a heavenly palace; at second glance, it looks like a golden mountain...

One can only imagine how much gold and silver King Xian took with him when he left the Dian Kingdom, and how many villages and towns near Zhelong Mountain he plundered, in order to build this palace into a golden palace.

It was truly the epitome of extravagance... Everything that a person could enjoy, King Xian enjoyed, and even excessively so...

I'm so envious! (Factory)

Chapter 86 How can a mere Prince Xian, an ant, possibly see the sky?

"It really is a nice place; there's not a trace of any musty smell."

"This must be where King Xian lived before he died."

Looking at the grand hall before him, the old foreigner stretched and looked quite moved.

He had been to many tombs, but this was the first time he had ever seen a grand hall like this. Even the alchemy hall on Ping Mountain was not as magnificent and imposing as the one before him.

"Yes, there are waterfalls all around, and pools of water at the bottom. The water vapor is so thick that it can reflect rainbows, but this heavenly palace is so refreshing and dry."

Arriving at this celestial palace, Hua's mood improved considerably. She pulled Fang Yun along, looking around as if they were on a sightseeing trip...

"Brother Fang, the environment above this Heavenly Palace must be caused by the water dragon's halo and the feng shui cave, right?"

Feeling the dry "417" environment, so different from the previous warm and humid environment, Partridge Whistle asked a question out of curiosity.

"Yes, that's one of the wonders of the Water Dragon Aura: the Violet Trees gather together, each guarding its own position."

"The dragon halo is neither high nor low, neither water nor air, but is condensed into light by the feng shui energy field of this place. It is a rainbow light that has form but no substance and has not dissipated for thousands of years. All the water vapor in the vicinity is condensed into rainbow light, so the heavenly palace is naturally cool and dry."

The four of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the palace gate.

To the left of the temple gate, there was a statue of a strange beast that I had never seen before, kneeling there, and on the back of the beast statue stood a stone tablet.

The stone tablet is engraved with some ancient characters. The ancient characters look quite complicated, but they are not much different from the seal script of the Qin and Han dynasties. If you look closely, you can still recognize them.

Before Fang Yun could even step forward, Partridge Whistle reached out.

"Profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders, the Heavenly Palace soaring through the clouds, the Hall of Immortal Gathering."

"It seems this is indeed not the tomb of King Xian. This entire heavenly palace is called Lingyun Palace, and the front hall of this heavenly palace was called Huixian Hall by King Xian. It should be the place where he received the immortals in heaven."

"Heh..." Upon hearing this, the old foreigner curled his lip in disdain.

"With the Prince Xian's character?"

"If there were truly gods in heaven, seeing what King Xian had done in his quest for immortality through building a tomb, they would probably crush him to ashes."

"Hey, you can't say that." At this moment, Fang Yun waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong with people daydreaming? Even a toad wants to eat swan meat."

Hearing Fang Yun's words, Partridge Whistle raised the corners of his mouth and said loudly, "Brother Fang has a good insight."

"There are too many people in this world who overestimate their abilities. King Xian is just a minor king in the mountains. It's normal for him to be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. How can an ant possibly see the sky?"

Partridge Whistle's words were full of sarcasm, and after he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly feeling much better.

Fang Yunhua and the old foreigner also laughed.

What a sarcastic and eccentric Partridge Whistle!

Partridge Whistle was complaining about King Xian, complaining that King Xian had hidden the Muchen Pearl.

If King Xian hadn't hidden the Muchen Pearl, the Mountain Moving Sect might have found it two thousand years ago and broken Zaglama's curse.

He can be incredibly naive at times, but he's also incredibly reliable and steady when it comes to getting things done. Thinking about it, Partridge Whistle is actually quite endearing...

.................

Soon, the group of four had thoroughly explored the area outside the Hall of Immortals.

creak...

A soft sound was heard as the four people pushed open the palace door and slowly entered the main hall.

Although it was daytime, the sunlight couldn't reach the depths of the main hall. To make it easier for the three people behind him to see, Fang Yun lit several phosphorescent tubes and gently tossed them around the hall.
