Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

The terracotta warriors march at night; are the imperial tombs the final resting place for all spirits in the world?

Upon hearing Tong Yuan's words, Zhang Mu's body trembled violently.

Terracotta warriors!

Imperial Mausoleum!

As soon as those two words came out, two not-so-pleasant memories immediately surfaced in Zhang Mu's mind.

When I broke through to the Martial Prime Realm, I inadvertently felt a sense of unease as I looked at the First Emperor's Mausoleum in Guanzhong.

The great terror I felt when I arrived at the Mausoleum of the First Emperor during my travels throughout the world.

And then, combined with Tong Yuan's words...

Zhang Mu was 100% certain that what Tong Yuan feared was definitely related to the First Emperor's Mausoleum, which had been extremely mysterious to him in his previous life before he transmigrated.

so?

Did the First Emperor of this world not die at all?

Or is it...?

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was actually dead.

But before his death, he achieved his desired vision: to remain a powerful figure in the afterlife, commanding an invincible Qin army of tens of thousands of terracotta warriors.

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhang Mu found it difficult to calm down.

It's not that he lacks willpower.

Rather, it's because this involves a man named Qin Shi Huang.

It's true that Zhang Mu is a chosen transmigrator, but compared to his identity as a transmigrator, how much less impressive is the title of the First Emperor of All Time?

not to mention.

This emperor, a figure of unparalleled power, was also an emperor born in this mythical world.

Zhang Mu's violent tremor did not escape the notice of Tong Yuan, who was standing only inches away from him.

"Gongzhi, your strong reaction suggests you may have heard this saying before?"

Tong Yuan did not consider the possibility that Zhang Mu had seen the terracotta warriors before.

The bizarre act of terracotta warriors marching at night is itself a taboo and a curse.

Regardless of gender or age, anyone who encounters the terracotta warriors traveling at night before reaching the Martial Arts Realm or the Literary Arts Grandmaster Realm will die mysteriously soon afterward.

If Zhang Mu had seen it when he was young, he would never have survived to this point.

Therefore.

Tong Yuan assumed that Zhang Mu had only heard this phrase before.

He hadn't forgotten that this morning, Zhang Mu had been standing next to someone who controlled many supernatural powers.

Judging from that person's relationship with Zhang Mu...

If Zhang Mu had heard that person mention this matter by chance, Tong Yuan would consider it perfectly normal.

Zhang Mu had no idea what Tong Yuan was thinking. His gaze was fixed on Tan Shihuai's corpse for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"so."

"According to you, Elder Tong, if Mu doesn't quickly dispose of Tan Shihuai's corpse, tonight, ghostly soldiers transformed from clay figurines will come to Mu demanding the body back?"

Zhang Mu avoided Tong Yuan's question and did not explain in detail why his body was reacting so strongly.

"good!"

Tong Yuan nodded and said, "This is precisely why I told you this morning that even if Tan Shihuai's body were left there, someone would help him collect it."

"Since long ago, whenever a powerful figure at the Martial Aspect Realm or higher has fallen in this world..."

"At the places where their bodies were left or buried, a number of terracotta warriors would appear every early morning, carrying their remains to the legendary mausoleum where the First Emperor was buried."

"During this period."

"Anyone who tries to stop them will be mercilessly killed by those terracotta warriors."

Tong Yuan's words weighed heavily on Zhang Mu's mind.

He asked, "Where is the legendary mausoleum of the First Emperor located? Why use 'legendary'? Does no one know the location of the imperial mausoleum?"

"in addition."

"Are those terracotta warriors really that strong? Surely not all of them are at the Martial Aspect Realm or half-step Overlord Realm?"

Zhang Mu asked two questions in a row, which made Tong Yuan hesitate.

Tong Yuan did not deny that Zhang Mu, this rising star, was very strong, but as strong as he was, compared to the many great secrets hidden in this world, Zhang Mu's strength was still a little lacking.

Tong Yuan feared that continuing to speak would be detrimental to Zhang Mu's future development.

"Please, Mr. Tong, don't hesitate to tell us!"

Zhang Mu noticed Tong Yuan's hesitation and humbly asked for his advice, "Even if I suffer misfortune because of this, I will accept it."

Having heard Zhang Mu put it this way, what else could Tong Yuan say?

The location of the imperial tomb remains a mystery to this day.

"However, when Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he apparently found the location of the imperial tomb at the foot of Mount Li. He even dispatched Huo Qubing, who was the most promising candidate to achieve the Hegemon Emperor realm at the time, to lead troops to attack it."

"But in the end, it was confirmed that the imperial tomb discovered at Mount Li was just a fake tomb."

"Perhaps it angered the Qin Emperor who was sleeping in the real imperial mausoleum. Not long after Huo Qubing's campaign against the fake mausoleum, not only did all the elite troops of the imperial dynasty who went on the expedition with him die suddenly, but Huo Qubing himself was also defeated and killed on a stormy night."

"Their defeated corpses also vanished without a trace."

"Only fragmented pieces of terracotta warriors were left at the site, which are suspected to be remnants from the battle between Huo Qubing and those terracotta warriors."

"In his grief and reluctance, Emperor Wu could only bury Huo Qubing in a tomb made from his own clothes and armor."

Tong Yuan revealed a secret.

A shocking secret that is completely different from the current accounts of Huo Qubing.

According to current records, Huo Qubing's death was due to his sudden rise to power, which caused unease among the Xiongnu people at the time.

In an attempt to eliminate Huo Qubing, the Xiongnu tribes resorted to using their most powerful and secret weapon to take advantage of Huo Qubing's isolation and kill him along with them.

Even the mighty and domineering Martial Emperor…

Tong Yuan did not stop his storytelling. He said with regret, "As far as I know, he also suffered some kind of misfortune in his later years, and was often insane. Even the Crown Prince's uprising failed and he died, and the witchcraft accusations occurred..."

"There is an unseen hand involved behind all of this."

"It is precisely because of the precedent set by Emperor Wu that the successor emperors of the dynasty and the world's top experts, although aware of the strange occurrences of the terracotta warriors traveling at night, have chosen to turn a blind eye and are unwilling to easily intervene."

"As for finding the true location of the imperial tomb, not a single person mentioned it."

Zhang Mu was shocked by what Tong Yuan revealed.

Is there a fake mausoleum that was once discovered at Mount Li?

Did Huo Qubing, the champion, die because of this?

Did Emperor Wu suffer misfortune in his later years?

So.

Where exactly is the real imperial tomb?

Could this be the location of the scenic area from my past life that I visited years ago?

Or is it...?

Qin Shi Huang was cunning and had many escape routes. Even the imperial mausoleum that terrified him was a fake.

A jumble of conflicting thoughts arose, sending chills down Zhang Mu's spine.

No matter how he sees it.

That emperor, who was considered one of the greatest emperors in history, gave him the feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes.

What about Liu Bang? What about Xiang Yu?

Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, was already so terrifying.

Zhang Mu did not believe that these two supreme emperors would perish so easily in the passage of time, or that they would not have left behind any means of checks and balances.

Tong Yuan looked at Zhang Mu, who remained silent, and chuckled, "What? Finally scared?"

"There's nothing shameful about being afraid."

"It's not just you."

Even at my age, I still hold these things in awe.

"Afraid?" Zhang Mu's voice rang out.

"Mr. Tong is joking."

"Unless those terracotta warriors come carrying coffins to find Mu, Mu has nothing to fear."

"We'll see."

"Mu was merely dealing with the terracotta warriors who came to collect Tan Shihuai's body; he wasn't imitating Huo Qubing, who was ordered by Emperor Wu to conquer the imperial tombs."

"How could the slumbering Qin Emperor, whose fate is uncertain, possibly stoop to my level?"

"Could he possibly rise from his lying imperial tomb and come here specifically to claim Mu's life?"

Zhang Mu felt he was not worthy.

The mere corpse of Tan Shihuai is not worthy of the Qin Emperor's great mobilization!
