Chapter 801: Palace Projection
Five figures flickered and arrived at the buried underground palace. Lin Feng stared at the corpses of those few people, his gaze shifting uncertainly.
"It's so peaceful here," Lin Feng murmured. If the fifth Venerable Lord's mansion had manifested here, then this was undoubtedly the quietest time. He had only seen a single beam of starlight shoot into the sky, and then nothing else.
"It has already emerged. The fourth Venerable Lord's mansion has already emerged," Jun Moxi said. Huangfu Long and Yun Feiyang both nodded. "Yes, it has emerged. Someone should have obtained the inheritance."
"Indeed." Lin Feng's intuition had not been wrong. The tombs of the four Venerable Lord mansions had all emerged. Next, it seemed only the location of the Emperor's tomb remained unfound.
"Hehe, since they've all emerged, maybe I can find the Emperor's tomb too," Huangfu Long said with a foolish grin. Immediately, everyone's gazes turned to him. Could this guy really find it?
"That dead old man left me a message. He said that the Emperor of the past built his own tomb, and no one knows where it is, but it must be in a place of dragon vein. The locations of the four Venerable Lord mansions are where the dragon veins are fixed. Now that all four mansions have appeared, the aura of the dragon veins will also surface. I can use the bloodline within me to sense the dragon vein energy. Wherever the dragon vein energy is strongest, that might be the location of the Emperor's tomb."
Huangfu Long laughed. Everyone's eyes narrowed. The four Venerable Lord mansions occupying the four directions indeed had their significance. They suppressed the dragon vein energy of this spatial world, making it imperceptible. This meant that only after all four Venerable Lord mansions had appeared could others possibly find the Emperor's tomb through the dragon vein energy.
Everything seemed to be cause and effect.
"Can you sense the dragon vein energy now?" Lin Feng asked Huangfu Long. Huangfu Long's gaze flickered, and his eyes looked toward a certain direction, pointing there. "The dragon vein energy in that direction is the strongest."
Lin Feng and the others were stunned. The direction Huangfu Long pointed to was the central area of the four Venerable Lord mansions. Since the mansions had manifested, that location had been explored by many. Even they had passed through there. There was nothing there. The central area was a barren land, where not even the slightest trace of any living creature could be sensed, and not even a single corpse was seen, indicating that no battles had ever been fought there.
It was too ordinary. So ordinary that one's first glance would completely overlook it. Yet now, Huangfu Long said that place had the strongest dragon vein energy.
"When things are abnormal, there must be a trick. It seems I still haven't fully understood that saying." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. In this vast spatial world, when they reached this region, there were corpses everywhere, along with many mansions and stone caves containing skeletons and treasures. Many people were digging and searching for treasures in the surrounding area. Only the central region had nothing at all. That in itself was abnormal. How could it be so clean?
"Could the legendary Emperor's tomb be underground?" Lin Feng speculated. If there was nothing above ground, and the Emperor's tomb was truly in that direction, it might be buried underground.
"Great Pest, focus your senses. Let's move," Lin Feng said. Huangfu Long nodded. His figure flickered, moving along the ground instead of flying through the air. Only on the ground could he more clearly sense the earth's dragon veins.
In the central area between the four Venerable Lord mansions, it was desolate and uninhabited, covered entirely in dust. It was so calm that there wasn't a single ripple. People were almost nonexistent here. Those treasure seekers wouldn't come to this barren place; there was simply nothing there.
Lin Feng and his group traveled forward, not even seeing a single person. So many powerful individuals who had entered had all gone to various parts of this space to search for treasures.
"The dragon vein energy is getting stronger and stronger." Huangfu Long grinned. His intuition was absolutely correct. He seemed very sensitive to the dragon vein aura. If the Emperor's tomb was truly in the place with the richest dragon vein energy, then it might be not far from him.
Lin Feng and the others' eyes flickered. Huangfu Long's words stirred a sense of excitement in them.
The four Venerable Lords had all died a thousand years ago, their bones reduced to skeletons, yet they still left behind heavy treasures awaiting inheritors. What about the all-powerful Emperor?
He had prepared his own tomb, meticulously arranged knowing he might die. Perhaps the Emperor hoped to find an inheritor, or perhaps he didn't want to be disturbed, preferring to be buried forever underground, undisturbed.
But no matter which possibility, the Emperor's tomb would surely contain powerful treasures. The Emperor had made this space his burial ground. The funerary objects in his tomb would hardly be simple.
"So strong is the dragon vein energy." Huangfu Long's steps grew slower and slower. He walked forward step by step, sensing the invisible dragon vein energy in the void. His blood seemed to boil. The energy of the void could even resonate with his bloodline. This dragon vein energy was too powerful.
He stopped, raising his head to stare at the space. There was nothing. They couldn't see anything at all. White clouds drifted in the sky, and the ground was still covered in dust. There was nothing. But his intuition was absolutely correct. Here, there was extremely rich dragon vein energy.
"You've found this place too?" At that moment, a voice came. Lin Feng and the others looked over and saw Yu Tianji exploring his way here. He had also found this region, but now his brows were tightly furrowed because he had discovered nothing.
"There's nothing here. I have a strange feeling. If the Emperor's tomb truly exists, it's likely in this spatial region. However, I've been circling here for a long time and can't see anything. It's all barren and dead," Yu Tianji said. "Of course, maybe my intuition is wrong."
"Even if your intuition is wrong, mine can't be." Huangfu Long stared at the space. The power of his bloodline trembled, his blood seeming to boil. How could his intuition be wrong? "Here, there is powerful dragon vein energy. Just as you said, if the Emperor's tomb truly exists, it must be here."
Yu Tianji's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected Huangfu Long to have the same intuition as him, and with such certainty in his tone.
"Let me check underground." Huangfu Long took off the axe from his body. His body trembled violently, splitting the earth open, and then he dove into the barren ground below.
"It's useless. I've already tried," Yu Tianji shook his head. Sure enough, after a while, Huangfu Long emerged, his face full of frustration. He had turned the underground upside down but found nothing. There was no underground palace or mansion.
"The dragon vein energy is so strong here. Why is there nothing? Could that old ghost ancestor have lied to me?" Huangfu Long cursed under his breath, feeling extremely annoyed. The aura on his body fluctuated, faintly releasing dragon energy.
"Great Pest." At that moment, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, staring at Huangfu Long. The others' eyes also fell on Huangfu Long, glinting sharply.
"What's wrong?" Huangfu Long felt everyone's gazes were strange. He scratched his head. What were these guys staring at him for?
"Your body..." Lin Feng and the others' eyes stiffened, all fixed on Huangfu Long's body. A picture. At this moment, on Huangfu Long's body, there was a magnificent picture. The picture depicted a vast palace.
A palace was projected onto Huangfu Long's body!
"What's going on?" Lin Feng and the others' pupils sharply contracted. They looked up at the void but saw nothing. Yet the picture projection was on Huangfu Long's body, wavering unsteadily, half-real and half-illusory. They absolutely could not be mistaken.
"Great Pest, release your bloodline power and dragon energy." As if thinking of something, Lin Feng said to Huangfu Long.
"Alright." Huangfu Long nodded. Although he didn't quite understand what Lin Feng meant, he did as he was told. The bloodline aura on his body burst forth, the wild and domineering power unleashed without reservation, as if a true dragon was roaring in fury. Dragon energy shot into the sky.
The projection gradually became clearer. The magnificent palace pattern, vast and majestic, soared into the heavens, as if carrying supreme authority and an aura of unrivaled dominance.
"Is this a palace or a tomb?" Lin Feng and the others were all shocked. The projection was becoming clearer and clearer.
PS: There's only a little over a day left. Brothers who still have flowers, don't be stingy. What do you think Lin Feng will obtain!
