292: Magnetic field metaphysics, and this legend.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: "We are underground; could this stone coffin have been moved here from somewhere else?"

"But what would be the point of that?" He shook his head: "Could it be to conceal the existence of Xingtian's corpse?"

"That must be it." He said with certainty: "During the qin dynasty, there was a National Master named Zhang Heng. This man was well-versed in the Mystical Gates and Escaping Techniques and was skilled in the art of Feng Shui. Perhaps it was this very Zhang Heng who moved this Mausoleum here to suppress Xingtian."

"But his Dao cultivation was shallow after all, and he could not completely suppress Xingtian. Therefore, he built a huge palace in this place, using external forces to suppress Xingtian."

"This palace must contain Xingtian's treasures; otherwise, there would be no need to design such complex mechanisms."

Thinking of this, a look of intense heat appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

He took out his divination compass, observed the operation diagram of the Formation, and searched for any flaws.

"This Formation is composed of the fifty-eight trigrams, specifically: Qian, Kun, xun position, Dui, Zhen, Li, Kan, and Gen—nine Acupoints in total.

Qian represents Heaven, and Kun represents Earth. Qian is Earth, Kun is Metal, Qian is Wood, Kun is Water, Qian is Fire, and Kun is Thunder. These fifty-eight Acupoints are all locked. No matter which Acupoint I choose to attack, I cannot destroy the core of the Formation inside the stone coffin."

Ye Bai pondered for a moment, observed the Formation diagram again, and tried to find a way to break it.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto the xun position, and he said: "Since this is the main position, the stone coffin here must be moved."

Ye Bai took a deep breath and channeled his Origin Qi with all his might.

Hum—

The stone coffin emitted a soft humming sound, and its surface lit up with ripples of fluorescent light, like water waves.

He immediately tossed the divination compass aside and struck the stone coffin with his clenched fists. Thump, thump, thump...

The stone coffin trembled, but it remained as solid as before, completely undamaged.

Ye Bai frowned, feeling it was tricky. He knew that brute force alone could not break the Formation on the stone coffin; the only way was to use finesse to make the Formation fail. However, with his current strength, it was simply not enough.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

"If it's like this..."

Ye Bai showed a look of joy: "I can set up a small Formation, requiring only a tiny pebble. As long as I place the small pebble at the xun position and then use the Yin and Yang energies to guide the Formation to fail, this stone coffin will return to its normal state."

He immediately sat cross-legged, formed hand Seals with both hands, and silently chanted scriptures.

As the scriptures were chanted, a humming sound emanated from within Ye Bai's body, and a mysterious aura spread outward. The temperature around him dropped rapidly, and even frost began to form.

"Rise!"

Ye Bai suddenly raised his arms.

Immediately, a layer of frost covered his arms.

His right index finger hovered in the air, and a silver-white Bead spun rapidly.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing with intensity, and let out a cold shout. A beam of cold light shot from the silver Bead at his fingertip, striking a certain spot on the stone coffin. Immediately, a crisp cracking sound came from there.

Following that, the vibration of the stone coffin became more intense.

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the entire stone coffin exploded. Countless fragments flew outward, and dust billowed.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were stunned. They had not expected that Ye Bai would actually break the Restriction on the stone coffin, and they were even more surprised that Ye Bai knew Daoist Spells and could manipulate the power of heaven and earth.

This scene was too mysterious, completely beyond their scope of understanding, leaving them dumbfounded.

Soon, the dust gradually dissipated, and a withered skeleton lay inside the stone coffin. The skeleton maintained its posture from before death, with its hands in the shape of claws. Its skull had shattered, but a ferocious face was still vaguely visible, looking extremely terrifying.

Ye Bai walked up to the skeleton and picked up a weapon.

It was clearly a sword, its blade covered in rust and filled with an aura of decay. Yet, the aura it exuded was exceptionally terrifying, far more valuable than the treasures Ye Bai had encountered in the Ancient Tomb.

Ye Bai examined it carefully and finally confirmed that this sword had once killed a powerful expert! And it was definitely not a simple killing, but rather torture to death. This was why such a strong Evil Qi remained on the sword.

"This must be an evil weapon." Ye Bai sighed.

He put the weapon away, preparing to take it back to show his mother.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi ran over at this moment.

"How is it?" Yang Mi asked.

Ye Bai said: "It has been resolved."

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief; she had heard the sound of the stone coffin exploding just a moment ago.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi looked at the Ye Bai before them, their hearts filled with admiration. They had never imagined that in this mysterious and dangerous Underground World, Ye Bai could handle various crises so calmly.

"Mr. Ye, is this sword... really that evil?" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but ask.

Ye Bai nodded slightly: "This sword has extremely heavy Evil Qi and must have experienced countless bloody slaughters. However, it is not yet possible to determine its specific origin."

Yang Mi looked around, still feeling uneasy in her heart: "Mr. Ye, I always feel there are still many unknown dangers here. What should we do next?"

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said: "Let's leave this place first and take this sword back to study. The Feng Shui layout of this place is very peculiar, and I need to go back and study it carefully."

The three of them carefully returned along the original path. Along the way, Ye Bai constantly observed the surrounding environment, attempting to understand the layout of this underground Mausoleum from the perspective of Feng Shui Metaphysics.

"Look, the direction of the Passage and the patterns on the walls all contain specific Feng Shui patterns."

Ye Bai pointed around and said: "This kind of layout is very likely to guide the flow of some kind of energy, or to Seal some powerful existence."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi listened, feeling confused, but they knew of Ye Bai's professional abilities and could only follow silently behind.

When they returned to the surface, the staff and audience outside all breathed a sigh of relief. The thrilling scenes in the live broadcast had made everyone sweat for them.

Ye Bai held the evil sword and studied it carefully. He discovered that the rust on the sword seemed to have some kind of pattern, as if it were an ancient rune.

"The rust on this sword is not simple; it might be a type of Seal." Ye Bai muttered to himself.

Yang Mi leaned over curiously: "Mr. Ye, can you tell what this Seal is used for?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "It's not clear at the moment, but what is certain is that the origin of this sword is definitely not simple. We need to conduct further research."

After returning to the camp, Ye Bai placed the evil sword aside and fell into deep thought. Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi watched him nervously from the side, not knowing what would happen next.

"Mr. Ye, what secret does this sword actually hold?" Yang Mi couldn't help but ask.

Ye Bai looked up, looked at Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi, and slowly said: "The Evil Qi of this sword is so heavy; it is by no means an ordinary object. Moreover, the rust on it is very likely a type of ancient Seal, which indicates that this sword was once Sealed, perhaps to prevent its Evil Qi from harming the world."

Meng Ziyi shivered and said: "Then will this sword bring danger again?"

Ye Bai shook his head and said: "It's not certain at the moment, but we must be cautious. The origin of this sword is unknown; we need to further research its background and history to determine whether it will bring danger."

Yang Mi frowned and said: "Then where should we start our research?"

Ye Bai thought for a moment and said: "We can start with the Feng Shui layout of this underground Mausoleum. The layout of this Mausoleum is very peculiar and contains rich knowledge of Feng Shui Metaphysics. I suspect there is some kind of connection between this sword and this Mausoleum."
