The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

"Doubao? What doubao?"

Duan De was taken aback, subconsciously ignoring the fact that Su Zhe had just suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

After all, compared to the life and death of a good brother, what is more important than a magic weapon?

"You can think of it as... a magical artifact that can answer any question and gather all information in the world."

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhe explained to Duan De what a bean bun was in a simple and straightforward way.

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan De knelt down with a thud and hugged Su Zhe's leg. Su Zhe was so startled by the guy's sudden enthusiasm that he took two steps back.

"Brother! Big brother! My dear brother! Where is this thing? Can I see it?"

Duan De asked with a fawning expression.

"What are you thinking? That thing isn't from this world; you can't bring it in."

Su Zhe's face darkened, and he kicked Duan De away.

That bastard! No wonder he was so enthusiastic; he was eyeing his own treasure!

"What? You can't bring it in?"

Upon hearing Su Zhe's words, Duan De's face turned ugly, even tinged with despair.

"Why couldn't I bring such a wonderful treasure with me... If I had this, not only would ancient noble families be unable to stop me from exploring, but even forbidden zones would be beyond my reach!"

Duan De beat his chest and stamped his feet, his voice filled with regret, as if he had missed the most important thing in his life.

"Alright, alright, that thing is just too big to bring, it's not unusable. I just found a clue to the Ji family tomb, didn't I?"

Su Zhe pursed his lips, patted Duan De on the shoulder, and gestured for Duan De to be strong.

Duan De sighed, stood up, gazed in the direction of the Ji family, put his hands behind his back, and said with a sense of relief, "So be it. Although such a treasure is beyond my reach, the opportunities within the Ji family's great tomb are beckoning me!"

"Shall we set off then?"

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, equally eager to try.

……

Following the directions and notes given by Doubao, Su Zhe led Duan De for thousands of miles and finally found a magnificent valley.

"This is actually the Ji family's tomb?" Duan De was somewhat incredulous.

"Yes." Su Zhe nodded.

It's only because Doubao was helpful; otherwise, if he had been asked to find it on his own, he might not have been able to find this place.

Upon hearing Su Zhe's affirmative reply, Duan De erected a divine bridge and soared into the air, circling the valley several times.

At first he was a little confused, but as he looked at it, he couldn't help but nod.

"So that's how it is! I knew it!" Duan De jumped down from the clouds in excitement.

"This place may seem ordinary, but it is actually a place where yin and yang unite!"

Duan De pointed to the sky.

"Look, it's dusk now, the sun and moon are converging, and this valley is right under the sun and moon, half of it is illuminated by sunlight and half by moonlight. This is the convergence of yin and yang, clearly distinct, one yin and one yang, isn't it very similar to the scene inside and outside the mirror?"

Duan De pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the valley below, and said smugly.

Su Zhe looked up in the direction Duan De was pointing.

Sure enough, at that moment, the sun and the moon were both hanging high in the sky, and the valley below was indeed shrouded by both, appearing half bright and half dark, like two worlds inside and outside a mirror.

Seeing Su Zhe nod, Duan De immediately continued smugly, "The Ji family's ultimate imperial weapon is the Void Mirror, an item left behind by the Ji family's Great Emperor. Therefore, they worship this ancient mirror to the extreme. This place definitely contains the remains of many of the Ji family's ancestors!"

This involves his professional theories, so he can talk about it in a very detailed and well-reasoned way.

At the very least, with Su Zhe's meager professional knowledge, he was genuinely intimidated by this guy.

"I see……"

Su Zhe nodded in a perfunctory manner.

Although he didn't understand, it didn't stop him from pretending to.

"Although this is not the core burial grounds of the Ji family, it should still contain the remains of some of the Ji family's middle-ranking ancestors or important figures who were at odds with the main branch of the Ji family! Most importantly, this place is unguarded!"

Duan De's voice trembled with excitement.

"We two brothers have really struck it rich this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan De pulled Su Zhe up and rushed down into the valley below.

As soon as he stepped into the valley, Su Zhe sensed that something was wrong.

When they stand in the sunlight, they can feel a distinct warmth and a sense of groundedness, but when they walk to the moonlight, they feel a chill and a sense of unreality.

It felt like entering another space.

"Wait, this place is protected by the Ji family's formation. We must be careful, otherwise, alerting the Ji family would be a minor issue, but we might also perish here."

Duan De quickly reached out and grabbed Su Zhe, preventing him from continuing to advance rashly.

"You can even break the formation here?" Su Zhe's eyes widened.

This unscrupulous Taoist priest knows quite a lot.

"I don't understand other formations, but I do know a little about formations like this one used to protect tombs and draw energy from the earth's veins!"

Duan De rolled up his sleeves, looking confident of victory.

"Give me three days. Within three days, I'm sure I can find a way out of this formation!"

Duan De extended his hand and continued speaking.

"How long? Three days?" Su Zhe was taken aback, then silently pulled Duan De behind him. "You should step back a little and leave it to me."

"Wait! The formation here can really kill people..." Duan De said with a serious expression.

However, Su Zhe simply grinned and strode into the formation. "Are you kidding me? Do you think your brother Su is afraid of dying?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crack appeared beneath Su Zhe's feet. From it, a torrent of extremely powerful yet gentle earth fire erupted, instantly incinerating Su Zhe's entire body.

"Su Zhe..."

Duan De was stunned for a moment, then instinctively shouted out.

However, before his voice could even echo through the valley, he was slapped hard on the broad shoulder.

"Why are you crying? Why are you crying? I just took three steps, did you remember the two safe footprints?"

Su Zhe said with disdain.

"Huh?" Duan De was taken aback, then quickly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "I've got it..."

"Okay! Watch closely!"

Su Zhe curled the corners of his mouth into a carefree smile and stepped into the formation once more.

Five steps later, boom!

Su Zhe was blown into a sky full of fireworks, his flesh and blood scattered everywhere, like a grand rain. However, before the flesh and blood could fall, they turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The next moment, Su Zhe reappeared.

"Don't worry! It's nothing serious!"

Su Zhe offered Duan De a word of comfort and continued striding inside.

In a short period of time, Su Zhe had died seventy or eighty times, but he had also advanced more than a hundred steps.

Following this trend, they could enter the Ji family tomb before the moon had fully risen.

Finally, as the sun completely set, Su Zhe stood before the entrance to the tomb.

"How about it? Am I handsome?"

Su Ze, with one hand on the tomb door, slightly raised his chin and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the array on the gate lit up. Before Su Zhe could react, he was pierced through the body by a beam of light once again.
