113: Chapter 113 Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Transformed into a Forbidden Zone for Life! A Suspected Small Secret Realm in the Making!

In the distance, the sky was startled by a dense flock of birds.

The earthquake was still continuing. At the foot of a mountain not far from the Qinling Mountains.

A fissure tens of meters wide spread and swept from underground, severing the surrounding land from the Qinling Mountains!

Towering giant trees were torn apart, and countless newly born small animals perished as a result.

Chang Chen gazed at the abnormalities of the Qinling Mountains from afar, lost in thought:

"The Qinling Mountains are the Dragon-rising land of Guanzhong, and even more so, the divine mountain guarding the nation in the East. There are far too many myths and legends about it."

"Legend has it that the Goddess of the Nine Heavens once descended to the Lower Realm there, bringing military strategy and tactics to the world..."

"Lü Dongbin attained the Dao in the Qinling Mountains and achieved Immortal Ascension in a single day..."

"Emperor Yan, Shennong, once tasted a hundred herbs and searched for the five grains there..."

"The Yellow Emperor, Fuxi, cast a tripod and rode a Dragon to Ascension..."

"The Three Holy Mothers, sisters of Yang Jian, were trapped in Mount Hua, and Chenxiang split the mountain with the Lotus Lantern to save his mother..."

Gradually, another figure emerged in Chang Chen's mind. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood something,

"Compared to myths and legends, there exists a truly ancient relic in the Qinling Mountains—the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!!"

"Could it be that the abnormality in the Qinling Mountains was caused by the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!?"

The effect of the Spirit Energy Factor is terrifying.

It can not only cause living things to be reborn, but also allow dead objects to undergo mysterious and unspeakable transformations and baptisms!

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the burial ground of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng. According to relevant historical records, it contains various rare treasures, masterpieces of the pre-Qin philosophers, Alchemy methods of the alchemists, and so on.

If it develops 'spirituality' and transforms in some mysterious direction, it is truly possible to cause such a terrifying commotion!

"Could it be that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is about to turn into a legendary—Forbidden Zone for Life!?"

Thinking of this, Chang Chen felt it necessary to go there personally.

If it really is the birth of a Forbidden Zone for Life, it will certainly be accompanied by other rare Heaven And Earth Treasures!

Slinging his silver spear on his back, Chang Chen jumped to the ground, moved his legs, and shuttled quickly through the dense jungle.

It was also at this time that the earthquake gradually subsided, and everything returned to calm.

The world had changed greatly, and many landscapes were covered by giant trees.

As a native of Chang'an, he could still roughly distinguish the geographical location of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

The wilderness was not peaceful.

When Chang Chen shuttled through the jungle, he would encounter various animals with bizarre shapes that had evolved to the point where it was difficult to distinguish their original roots.

He did not hold back; as long as they dared to block his way, they were all instantly killed by his silver spear.

Chang Chen clearly knew that these animals that had entered the evolutionary level had corresponding titles in the attached notes of his personal panel.

Those who have just entered evolution and have not yet opened their wisdom are called—Beasts.

Those with full wildness, addicted to killing, and low intelligence are—Vicious Beasts.

Those with flashing intelligence, clear consciousness, and awakened supernatural talents are—Spirit Beasts.

Those with outstanding talent, pure Bloodline, and the ability to transform their beast bodies are—Yao Beasts.

Of course, transformation is also divided into half-transformation and full-transformation; the former is a "Half-Yao".

The title does not equate to the life level of the corresponding beast.

Some Vicious Beasts, despite their low intelligence, are very powerful and sometimes can even hunt Spirit Beasts and Yao Beasts!

Chang Chen had seen such cases many times on the Origin Continent.

Some Yao Beast overlords who ruled over a mountain range had been counter-hunted and preyed upon by furious and bloodthirsty Vicious Beasts.

As long as they are beasts that have embarked on the path of evolution, basically their whole bodies are treasures.

Their flesh and blood can be eaten to greatly increase the Cultivation speed of a Transcendent.

Beast bones are also extremely useful.

They can be used as added Materials for forging weapons using ancient methods, which can improve the quality, hardness, and toughness of the weapon, and can also improve its 'spirituality'!

The so-called spirituality means that when a Transcendent wields a cold weapon, the Transcendent energy and supernatural aura added to it have a better fit.

The level of this suitability will naturally also affect the explosion of power and the degree of supernatural ability display.

When Chang Chen's silver spear was forged by the old blacksmith master a few days ago, five or six different bone Materials of [Micro-evolution • Fierce Beast] were added to it.

In his spare time, Chang Chen would use the Spirit Energy Factor to nourish the silver spear.

Let it undergo synchronous transformation so that it can become his [Life-bound Weapon] in the future.

...

The sky was gradually brightening.

Half an hour later.

Chang Chen arrived at a hillside where a village once took root.

He leaped to the top of a tree and looked behind the fissure that was tens of meters wide.

There, the terrain rose, and the growth of the trees far exceeded other areas. One could clearly perceive that rich Spirit Energy Factors were surging and undulating in mid-air.

Besides that, around the raised terrain, there was a layer of faint white mist.

That layer of mist was extremely terrifying, lingering and fluctuating, devouring all vitality of the living creatures that strayed into it!

"Sure enough! The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is about to turn into a Forbidden Zone for Life!"

Chang Chen's eyes were like torches, and he exclaimed repeatedly in his heart,

"As expected of the first emperor of ancient times, the imperial mausoleum that has been dead for thousands of years has actually given birth to faint intelligence in just half a month!"

"Perhaps one day, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Qin generals and civil officials, and the First Qin Emperor himself buried deep underground might all have the possibility of reviving and returning!"

After looking for a long time, Chang Chen turned his eyes and looked at a strange piece of land not far in front of the imperial mausoleum.

It was not wrapped in mist, but time and space were somewhat chaotic, and the surface was shimmering with gloomy light, making even him feel palpitated.

"Could this be a [small Secret Realm] associated with the imperial mausoleum?"

Chang Chen crossed his arms and fell into thought.

He had once seen a peerless Prodigy on the Origin Continent display that state of [Time and Space Ability], so he could still distinguish the fluctuation of time and space.

It's just that he was not very sure whether that strange land was gestating a small Secret Realm.

After all, to this day on the Origin Continent, there has not been the birth of a single independent Secret Realm.

"Regardless, there must be an Opportunity gestating there. Since I have encountered it, how can I leave just like that?"

Seeing that it would take a few more days to gestate and take shape, Chang Chen decided to go into seclusion on the surrounding mountains.

After the great battle with Ying Zhi's ability, his Cultivation had reached Perfection, and it was time to Breakthrough to the next Realm.

Only with the support of powerful strength can one deal with any abnormal problems.

Before leaving, Chang Chen discovered that he was not the only smart person.

Powerful Transcendents from the surrounding urban areas also found the source of the abnormality through the previous Qinling earthquake.

They looked vigilant, lurking in the depths of the dense forest, seemingly also intending to wait for the strange land to take shape.

He also saw a familiar figure flying from the end of the sky; that person was Ying Zhi.

He didn't pay too much attention to this.

Opportunity is obtained by those who are fated.

If I get it, it is my Luck; if I lose it, it is my fate.

...

Under a huge withered rock.

Chang Chen swung his silver spear and quickly dug out a cave that could accommodate one person to Cultivate.

The silver spear was inserted upside down in front of him. He used some withered grass to pad the ground and sat cross-legged on the spot.

"Hoo..."

Breathing out a turbid breath gently, Chang Chen's thoughts fluctuated, and a personal four-dimensional panel appeared before his eyes:
