Flying along the strong rope tied to the tomb-seeing geese, we passed through many twists and turns along the corridor. There was a long-lit light at the top of the corridor, which was still on after such a long time.
The slightly dim light shone on the ground, and Li Yun discovered that the corridor was paved with large sapphire slabs, which were of excellent material and valuable.
"According to records, this ancient tomb is the royal tomb of the South Vietnam Empire. It has been built for more than five thousand years. I didn't expect that it is still so well preserved..." Li Yunxin said.
"Master, this stone slab contains a trace of spiritual energy, which is more valuable than the black stone. This is rare in the mortal world. Even the Royal Court of the Tianlong Empire does not have such luxury." Xiaoxing said.
"Could this kind of sapphire slab be produced five thousand years ago? It would be difficult to find this kind of sapphire now..."
The two of them were talking and moving forward.
The corridor seemed to be getting wider and wider. Not only did he see more and more ever-burning lamps, but also moonstones that were common in the world of cultivation, which shocked Li Yun.
It seems that, consistent with Kawayama's judgment, this place is rich in aura, and there may really be a great treasure.
With a "swish", the corridor was swept out, and the space suddenly opened up, as bright as day. The densely packed ever-bright lamps and moonstones illuminated the underground world. The aura in the space was rich, dense, rolling, and under the light.
It looks lively and ethereal below...
"Eh?! Spirit Goose?!"
Li Yun saw not far from the entrance of the corridor, the goose that had been put down by Chuanshan was lying on the ground, dead, surrounded by a pool of blood.
Although this first-level spiritual goose is a spiritual beast, its combat power is unfortunately very low. Its purpose is only to test whether the gas in the ancient tomb is suitable for humans to enter, and to explore the path for treasure hunting.
Now, his neck was cut off and he died!
"Is there anyone?!"
Li Yun checked with his spiritual consciousness and found that the goose had been killed by a sharp weapon. It might have been a machine or a human being.
However, judging from the situation on the ground, it must be the latter, because... there are footprints!
He looked up at the underground world, his eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "Wow!"
In the formation, there were actually rows of human beings sitting cross-legged, their faces as lifeless and motionless.
"Could it be that all these people were buried alive?!" Li Yun thought, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Master, this formation is a soul-gathering formation!" Xiaoxing said suddenly.
"Soul Gathering Formation?"
Li Yun was startled and observed carefully. Sure enough, this formation was similar to the soul-gathering formation designed by Xiaoxing. Although it was not as exquisite and powerful as the formation in the Starship Ship, it could absorb energy from the people in the formation.
Soul power.
"Oh my god...these mortals were actually suppressed by the formation and had their soul power extracted alive..." Li Yun simply couldn't believe his eyes.
"Master, these mortals cannot move at all under spiritual pressure. After their soul power is extracted, I am afraid they will either become idiots or die completely."
"Not bad! I don't know who set up such a big formation..."
The figure flashed, and a man wearing armor appeared in Li Yun's field of vision. He seemed to be patrolling, with a majestic look on his face and his eyes looking around.
"This person's cultivation is at the third level of pulse shaping...but he seems to be a little abnormal..." Li Yun stared at this person and said with slight astonishment.
"Master, this person looks a little strange because... it is a doll like me. Of course, the level is not the same as mine. Moreover, the production is extremely rough and does not look like a real human being at all." Xuan Dongmu said.
"That's it!" Li Yun suddenly realized.
"Master might as well take him as his own!" Xuan Dongmu said.
"Oh? What should I do?!" Li Yun asked urgently.
"Take out the spiritual stone from his body, adjust its internal settings, and inject the master's spiritual consciousness and spiritual blood into it."
"This is...good!"
Li Yun took action immediately, imprisoned him directly with his consciousness, grabbed the doll in, removed the spirit stone from his body, and saw that the doll slowly turned into a little man.
Then, Xuan Dongmu took action, took out one of the crystal stones, erased the divine consciousness and spiritual blood in it, and Li Yun attached the divine consciousness and spiritual blood.
Sure enough, in an instant, Li Yun had a very clear sense of the doll through this crystal.
"Meet the master!" The doll immediately knelt down and said.
"Get up, what's your name?"
"My little slave calls Meng Hui."
"Menghui...what a name! Why are you here?"
"Master, I am on duty today, responsible for patrolling this area." Meng Hui said.
"Oh? Did you kill that spiritual goose?"
"Spirit Goose? Yes, the slave did kill a trespassing Spirit Goose just now!"
"Besides you, who else is here?"
"My fellow disciples, my uncles, my ancestors, and my former master!" Meng Hui said in an astonishing voice.
"What?! There are so many people?! What sect is this?" Li Yun said in surprise.
"Master, the former sect is called Mengyue Sect. There are 500 disciples below the foundation level, 20 uncles at the base level, and four Jindan ancestors!"
Wow!
Li Yun exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that such a powerful force of cultivation could be gathered in this underground world. If this Mengyue Sect appeared in Daxia, it would at least be a third-rate or above-level immortal sect, but it would be unknown and no one would know about it.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked urgently: "Are they puppets like you?"
"Yes!"
"Who was your previous master? Where was it?"
"I don't know the name of the previous owner, but he is inside, but he rarely comes out."
"Then where did these mortals come from?"
"They were sent here by the royal family of the South Vietnamese Empire."
"Why do we need to extract their soul power?"
"This is because the soul of the former owner was seriously injured and needed soul power to nourish, so these mortals were captured. They are usually replaced every six months."
"What?! Kill a group of mortals in half a year?!" Li Yun said in shock.
"Kill? Master, they will not die. Although part of their soul power has been extracted, this formation can help them recover their bodies and souls, so it will not damage their foundation. Moreover, replacing them once every six months will also
The damage suffered is minimized..." Meng Hui explained.
"Oh?" Li Yun was startled. It seemed that his idea just now was not right.
I didn’t expect that this soul-gathering formation has merits. If you learn it, the soul warriors on the starship can still nourish their bodies and souls while outputting soul power, and their combat power will definitely be greatly improved.
.
"How does this formation achieve this?" Li Yun asked urgently.
"Master, this formation was arranged by the previous master. I don't know this. However, I once heard my ancestor say that it was the former master who placed a treasure containing the power of wood in this formation..."
"That's it." Li Yun suddenly realized.
It seems that the treasure is in the formation, but this treasure is of great use to these mortals, and Li Yun does not want to take it away.
Due to the time effect between Tianyun and the outside world, Menghui's disappearance in the outside world lasted only a moment and did not attract anyone's attention.
"Master, these dolls are great treasures, why not take them all as your own." Xiaoxing said excitedly.
"The owner of this place doesn't look like a very evil person. These dolls should be of great use to him..." Li Yun hesitated a little.
"Master, if you don't accept it, Wu Huazi and others will definitely be killed by them when they come in."
"It makes sense!" Li Yunyi said in surprise.
The mission given to these dolls is to kill trespassers, and the spirit goose is the best proof. It seems that he can only clear the way for Mu Hanako and others first.
Li Yun immediately took action, and under Meng Hui's guidance, he moved forward, imprisoning and taking away all the five hundred low-level disciples and twenty foundation-building disciples, but the four golden elixir ancestors were nowhere to be seen.
He took off the spiritual stones from these disciples, turned them back into little dolls, and put them away.
At this time, he had arrived at the center of the underground palace, which was still under the shroud of the soul-gathering formation.
From his induction, it can be seen that the soul power extracted from these mortals is being gathered into wisps of light smoke, flying towards the center of the underground palace.
"Master, the four Jindan Patriarchs are in this pavilion." Meng Hui pointed to a pavilion in the center and said.
Li Yun looked around and saw that the pavilion was in the shape of a round tower. It was very exquisite and not too tall due to the limitations of the underground space. However, the style was quite unique and was different from the pavilions in Daxia.
The totem images decorated around the pavilion are also very rare, and they are obviously beasts from other interfaces.
There was a red door slightly hidden in the middle of the lower part. At this moment, a figure flashed, and four dolls appeared, looking slightly frightened.
One of them said: "What's going on? Those disciples can't sense it anymore?"
"It's really strange! In a short period of time, hundreds of people have disappeared. Could there be something unexpected happening?!" Another person said in surprise.
"There must be something wrong!"
"Check it quickly...ah!"
Just as the four of them were about to rush out, a powerful force suddenly fell from the sky, completely confining the four of them. Their spiritual waves shrank sharply, and they suddenly disappeared!
Wow!
Li Yun watched Xuan Dongmu arrest the four people and shouted in surprise.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I got four golden elixir level dolls, which was a windfall! With these four people, the power I control can be said to have expanded dramatically.
You must know that although Xuandongmu is good, its power level is too high, so it is not easy to use it in this interface. However, these four people have Jindan cultivation, so they can use it to their heart's content in this interface.
In addition, now that I have a variety of puppets ranging from Qi refining to golden elixir, Xiaoxing can progress from shallow to deep in her research on the puppet method, which is of great help.
The five puppets obtained from the Chaos Palace are almost the pinnacle of the puppet method. They are not easy to study and can only be used as templates for comparison and inspiration.
Suddenly, the red door slowly opened, but no one came out.
"this…"
Li Yun was startled, and controlled Tianyun to rush in. He saw that there were many buildings and pavilions, one after another, and there were two red doors between each one.
At this moment, all these beautiful doors are open, but there is no one there.
Take a closer look at every space you enter. It is magnificent, with carved railings and jade inlays. It is charming and full of luxury.
When you enter the innermost part, you are slightly surprised, because the space here is not large and looks very simple. There are two thick coffins in the middle, which are very conspicuous. They should be the main tomb...
