He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

King Gesar and Guru Padmasambhava devised a plan, first sending warriors to infiltrate the city of Eroha and steal the Muchen Pearl.

At this critical moment, the city of Eroha was mysteriously destroyed, and the Demon Kingdom collapsed completely, unable to withstand the ten thousand mighty soldiers led by King Gesar.

The Muchen Pearl also ended up in the Central Plains during the war and officially got its own name!

Meanwhile, on the other side of Zhagala Mountain, a second group of residents arrived.

These residents were actually the Prophet Clan.

After migrating from the far west, they lived on the sacred mountain for hundreds of years.

That's enough time for them to discover the ghost cave.

After discovering it deep within the mountain, the Prophet Clan attempted to use a replica of a jade eyeball to peer into the Ghost Cave and see what secrets were hidden beneath.

The Exquisite Jade Key that Qin Yun took from the fat man was actually a part of the Exquisite Jade Eye!

However, unlike the smooth progress of the Snowfield Demon Kingdom, it was due to the lack of guidance from the Serpent God.

Instead of discovering the secrets of the Ghost Cave with their jade eyes, the Prophet Clan brought disaster upon themselves.

Not only did the demons in the imaginary space use this opportunity to escape, but they also killed many members of the prophetic race.

Moreover, because they were peeking into the secrets of the Ghost Cave, they were also infected by the power of higher dimensions and cursed by the Snake God!

Since it was discovered that the further away from the ghost cave one is, the weaker the effect of the curse becomes.

Besides searching for a way to break the curse, the Prophet Clan also left their homeland and continued to migrate eastward.

This is why Shirley Young's maternal grandfather, Partridge Whistle, ultimately chose to settle in America.

There's no other reason than that place is the furthest from the Ghost Cave!

In order to conceal their identities, this unfortunate clan racked their brains and, while searching for the Muchen Pearl in the Central Plains, referred to themselves as the Mountain-Walking Taoist!

……

"The Muchen Pearl!"

Upon hearing this name, Shirley Yang was immediately filled with respect!

The claims of being interested in the exquisite culture of the Western Regions and funding archaeological teams are all false!

Shirley Yang's purpose in traveling all the way to Dongda University has always been only twofold.

First, he needed to find the whereabouts of his father, Yang Xuanwei.

Although, judging from the current situation, the other party is likely in grave danger.

But as a daughter, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, Shirley Yang wants her father to be laid to rest!

As for the second one, it is to inherit Banshan's will, find the Muchen Pearl, and then lift the snake god's curse on their clan!

Shirley Yang originally came to Tianjin with Lao Hu and Fatty, hoping to learn more about the Western Regions' exquisite arts through Qin Yun's connections.

To avoid being put in a passive position after entering the desert.

Unexpectedly, just when she had given up hope, Qin Yun gave her such a big surprise!

Forgetting all about being reserved, the moment Qin Yun finished speaking, Shirley Yang rushed forward and grabbed Qin Yun's hand, her face full of hope.

"Master Qin, how much do you know about the Muchen Pearl? Do you know where it is now?"

"If you tell me and help me find it, then I can give you everything I have!"

Unlike Shirley Yang's excitement, Fatty couldn't help but nod at Old Hu beside him after seeing this scene.

That seems to mean something like...

See? I knew she came here with a purpose. She even said she likes the Jingjue culture and sponsors archaeological research.

It's all just a smokescreen to conceal our true intentions!

Old Hu: "Say less. What their purpose is is none of our business."

All we need to remember is that if you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding!

Anyway, all we need to do is take them into the desert. Whether we find them or not, we can get $500,000. When we come back, we can get another $500,000 as a final payment.

Such a wonderful thing is hard to find even with a lantern, what more could you ask for!

"Hey, Old Hu, you see things best. Fatty's on your side!"

……

"Miss Yang, please calm down."

I do know a little about the Muchen Pearl, but I have no idea exactly where it is.

This is a lie!

Others may not know the location of the Muchen Pearl, but surely Qin Yun, as a transmigrator, knows it too?

However, if I were told directly that the Muchen Pearl was in the tomb of King Xian, how could I then search the other tombs for corpses?

Closer to home!

During the reign of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty, by chance, a jade eyeball was found in a collapsed mountain peak.

Wu Ding believed that the jade eyeball was a divine transformation of the Yellow Emperor, and officially named it Muchen Pearl, and cast a bronze tripod with an inscription to commemorate it.

From then on, the Muchen Pearl became a rare treasure in the royal collection.

During the late Shang and early Zhou periods, the Muchen Pearl was passed down to King Wen of Zhou.

King Wen of Zhou used the Zhou Tian Lao Gua, which is to enter the Qimen Dunjia inner vision space, to deduce the origin of the Muchen Pearl.

It was deduced that it symbolizes longevity, comes from the land of the phoenix, and is engraved in secret inscriptions on the dragon bone heavenly book of the Phoenix Crying Qishan!

In some ways, unlike Wang Ye, who was only a half-baked expert, even though the Muchen Pearl was related to the Snake God, King Wen of Zhou's original calculations were indeed correct.

The so-called land of the phoenix was the city of Eroha at that time. In the ancient Tibetan language, Eroha does indeed mean phoenix!

There are many more such dragon bone celestial books.

For example, in Longling, a copy was left behind by princes and nobles.

The privileged classes after the Qin and Han dynasties basically retained the strange dragon bones of Fengming Qishan.

Perhaps it is also out of a yearning for immortality, hoping that one day the secret can be unlocked.

During this period, the Samsara Sect, which inherited the faith of the Demon Kingdom, emerged in the snowy region.

Like the Demon Kingdom, the Samsara Sect also believes in reincarnation and rebirth.

But after the destruction of Evil Luo Sea City, they lost many core secrets.

Thus, the Samsara Sect excavated the tomb of the Ghost Mother Nianxiong Heiyan of the Dragon Peak Glacier, retrieved her demonic eyes and ghost brain, and used the power of the imaginary space to reconstruct a Shadow Evil Luo Sea City based on her memories.

Much later, the Zhagala Mountain welcomed its third inhabitants—the Ghost Cave tribe.

The Ghost Cave Clan is likely the descendants of the Snowfield Demon Kingdom, or the successor of the Snowfield Demon Kingdom, the Samsara Sect. They are the predecessors of the Western Regions Jingjue, and later built the Jingjue Royal City at the foot of Mount Zhagala!

The Qin and Han dynasties were primarily the active periods of King Xian and Queen Jingjue.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and by chance, the Muchen Pearl ended up in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The people of the Dian Kingdom, led by King Xian, believed in evil magic. Because of the proximity, these ancient evil magics actually originated in the Snowy Demon Kingdom.

The relationship between Southwest F3 and Tibet is far deeper than one might imagine.

It's like anyone who's worked on civil engineering in Tibet knows that the second floor there is mostly filled with girls from the southwest region.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that the methods of the Snowfield Demon Kingdom could spread to the Ancient Dian Kingdom.

However, at that time, King Xian did not know the true origin of the Muchen Pearl.

His records of the mausoleum only state that the Muchen Pearl was a phoenix transformed from the Earth Mother.

As an affiliated civilization of Dongda, it is true that the means by which King Xian inherited his legacy came from the extinct Snowfield Demon Kingdom, but his spiritual father was still the ancient Dongda, and the information he consulted was the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book compiled by King Wen of Zhou.

Otherwise, King Xian wouldn't have wanted to become an immortal!

Then, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the ancient Dian Kingdom was pacified.

It is said that the ancient Dian Kingdom possessed the ancient artifact Muchen Pearl. Emperor Wu of Han sent people to demand it, which sparked a dispute between the King of Dian and the King of Xian.

King Xian refused to hand over the Muchen Pearl, so he took the Muchen Pearl and his men and left the Dian Kingdom, heading far away to Zhelong Mountain to establish his own kingdom.

After that, the unlucky old King Xian did nothing but focus on building his mausoleum in the Insect Valley. After his death, he even took the Muchen Pearl into the tomb with him in his mouth.
