Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Such a golden opportunity, I certainly won't miss it!"

Encouraged by Gu Canyang, Lu Feng understood immediately and leaped towards the golden hall opposite.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Lu Feng's actions also triggered a reaction from the Ten Thousand Corpses Extinction Formation. Almost instantly, several eerie black shadows suddenly sprang out from underground and enveloped Lu Feng.

boom!

However, before these shadowy figures could even get close, they were instantly shattered by Lu Feng's palm strike, turning into several wisps of nothingness.

After all, the power of the Ten Thousand Corpses Extinction Formation was greatly reduced after Qin Dingce and others joined forces to break through a gap in it. It was several times weaker than before and almost negligible.

The mere aggregation of a few strands of corpse energy and resentment was naturally insufficient to stop Lu Feng.

...

Inside the Golden Hall

All that could be seen was the pervasive smell of death and utter silence.

The next moment, a strange bell tolled faintly, as if an underground palace that had been sleeping for thousands of years had finally seen the light of day again.

What surprised everyone even more was that the hall was completely empty. There were no treasures or opportunities to be found, not even a bird's feather. It was even poorer than the poorest people!

"What's going on?!"

"Where's the treasure?"

"Why isn't there even a trace of treasure?"

"Damn it! Could it be that the treasures inside this hall have already been stolen?"

Seeing this scene, the crowd that had been fighting fiercely and rushing to enter the hall were also somewhat dumbfounded, and their eyes widened in surprise.

After all, they had finally managed to break through the Ten Thousand Corpses Extinction Formation outside the hall, only to find that their efforts had been in vain. No one could accept such a situation.

"Young Master, this...!"

Qin Ming was equally astonished.

"There are no signs of a coffin, nor any indication of any formations. This is probably not the burial site of the tomb's occupant. The main burial chamber is most likely located elsewhere..."

His gaze swept across the main hall, finally settling on the row of heavy stone doors at the back. Qin Dingce narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

"Those stone doors are covered with talismans. Although I can't yet discern their effects, their quality is definitely not low; they're at least sixth-grade talismans!"

Qin Dingze spoke calmly and slowly, "These stone doors appear unremarkable on the outside, yet they require sixth-grade spirit talismans to seal them, clearly indicating that there is more to them than meets the eye. If I'm not mistaken, these stone doors may lead to other places, perhaps even the entrance to the main tomb chamber!"

"I see, young master is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming suddenly understood and turned to a guard beside him, saying, "You, go and tear up the talisman."

"Huh? Me?"

Upon receiving Qin Ming's order, the guard's face froze, a hint of fear appearing on his face. "Brother Ming, this...this..."

"Stop talking nonsense! The young master already said that behind these stone doors is likely the entrance to the main tomb chamber. Do you intend to disobey orders?"

Seeing that the other party hesitated, Qin Ming frowned.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"

Seeing Qin Ming's angry expression, the guard dared not refuse any longer and could only bite the bullet and walk to one of the stone doors, then slowly reach out and touch the door.

In the very center of the stone gate was a black and white talisman about the size of a palm, engraved with obscure spiritual patterns. The talisman exuded an ancient aura and looked quite old, but still retained some spiritual energy.

sand!

Swallowing hard, the guard ripped off the black and white talisman paper from the center of the stone door.

Rumble...!

The moment the black and white talisman was peeled off, the heavy stone door, which had been tightly sealed, slowly opened outwards with a loud rumble.

"It opened so easily?"

The guard's face lit up with joy.

squeak!squeak!squeak!

However, before the guard could recover, a piercing insect chirping suddenly rang out, followed by a large amount of white mist that gushed out from behind the stone gate, instantly engulfing the guard and leaving no trace of his body!

Swish!

The next moment, a large amount of white mist spread out of the hall, emitting a disgusting stench, as if it had just sprung out of a pile of dead bodies, and it came on fiercely!

"Young Master, be careful!"

The unexpected change caused Qin Ming's expression to tighten slightly. He immediately leaped down in front of Qin Dingce and simultaneously unleashed a palm strike with both hands. The surging energy transformed into a layer of azure waves, instantly dispersing the strange white mist that was attacking him.

However, the amount of eerie white mist surging out from behind the stone gate was so enormous that it continued to spread throughout the hall, causing everyone present to tremble with fear.

"Oh no, it's corpse worms...!"

"Damn it! How can there be so many corpse worms here, and their venom is even more potent than those roaming corpse worms outside the palace!!"

"Could these talismans be used to seal the corpse worms behind the stone gate?"

At this moment, everyone present recognized the origin of the strange white mist and immediately began to circulate their Yuan Power to fight against the attack of the corpse worms.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with swirling Yuan energy, its residual power lingering. It took almost a quarter of an hour before the tide of corpse worms was finally wiped out by the crowd.

However, some martial artists with lower cultivation levels in the Body Refinement Realm were devoured alive by the corpse energy, leaving not even a trace of their bodies behind. They were truly unlucky.

"There are thirty-six stone doors in total. Could it be that behind each of them lies a corpse worm or some other monster?"

After annihilating the last wave of corpse worms with a single sword strike, a disciple of the World Merchant Guild looked with lingering fear at the row of heavy stone gates not far away.

After all, these stone doors are covered with black and white spirit talismans, and there's no telling what powerful monsters might be hiding behind them. If they accidentally release these monsters, not only will they not be able to find treasure, but their lives will also be in danger.

"Don't panic, not all of these stone doors lead to certain death."

Jia Youqian glanced at the people around him and spoke.

"Brother Qian, what do you mean?"

Standing to the side, Jia Chao's expression froze slightly, then he cast a questioning look at Jia Youqian.

Judging from the other party's expression, it seems they have already figured out something fishy.

"It is the Yin-Yang Life and Death Talisman."

Jia Youqian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Although this talisman has no destructive power, it can transform the yin and yang states, thereby achieving the effect of bringing the dead back to life and making the living appear dead."

"The Yin-Yang Life and Death Talisman generally comes in two forms: the Yang talisman represents life, and the Yin talisman represents death. As for how to trigger the transformation of the Yin-Yang Life and Death Talisman, even I am not entirely clear..."

"Brother Qian, from what you're saying..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Chao seemed to understand something, and slammed his hands together heavily. "I get it! Those corpse worms behind this stone door were originally just inanimate objects, but after that Qin family guard removed the Yin-Yang Life and Death Talisman, the Yang Talisman's effect was accidentally triggered."

"Therefore, these originally dead corpse worms have been resurrected, and their strength and toxicity are far greater than when they were alive...!"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Jia Youqian gently shook the feather fan in his hand again and nodded slowly.

...

At this time, in another part of the main hall

"Damn it, thank goodness I stayed far away, or I would have almost gotten caught in the crossfire...!"

Lu Feng gripped the Flame-Swallowing Blade tightly in one hand, hiding at the very back of the crowd and close to the entrance of the main hall. He seemed to have secured the best position for escape, ready to make a run for it at the first sign of trouble.

"Ancient, in your opinion, which stone door is the true entrance to the main burial chamber, and one that is safe from danger?"

Lu Feng's mind stirred, and he asked Gu Canyang, who was inside the treasure basin.

Since these stone gates all conceal dangers, instead of forcing our way through them one by one, it would be better to ask Gu Canyang for help.

After all, with the experience and insight accumulated over tens of thousands of years, the other party is likely to be able to see through the mystery and strangeness behind these stone gates.
