Chapter 927 The First Emperor's Hiding Place
In fact, these players guessed correctly, there is another big news later.
But this big news has not happened yet.
At 2 pm on March 3, 135 kilometers west of Rongcheng, on a mountain called "Shenmu Lei".
This mountain called "Shenmu Lei" used to be a scenic spot.
But because of the invasion of Skru Star, this scenic spot was closed in June last year. Now it is very desolate and overgrown with weeds.
Xiaotian and the old senior Wang Mang walked slowly in the mountains, carefully observing the surrounding grass and trees.
Walking in front of the two was a white wolf that was bigger than an adult bull. It was Xiaotian's first pet-Howling Moon Wolf Dabai.
Dabai walked in front, his nose kept sniffing something on the ground, very focused.
...
Xiaotian also returned to Blue Star three days ago, and her return time was about 5 hours later than Su Yu and others.
On Skru Star, her visit to the Xiling Clan can be said to be very smooth.
The Xiling tribe is a secluded neutral race, and they have little interaction with the Skrulls. Their relationship is neither good nor bad.
During the visit to the Xiling tribe, Xiaotian revealed some of the transactions with the Bald Eagle tribe to them, and took out several finished equipments sold to the Bald Eagle tribe for display.
After all, Xiaotian came here not only to visit, but also to sell equipments.
Seeing that these equipments can be freely stored in the body, this immediately aroused great interest in the Xiling tribe!
The Xiling tribe is huge, and ordinary tribe members weigh 3-5 tons. The reason why they didn't wear equipment before is basically the same as the Dragon tribe-first, they are not used to it; second, it is troublesome to carry equipment.
Now they see that the equipments made by humans on Blue Star can be freely stored in the body! No tribe can resist such temptation!
So, the chief of the Xiling tribe placed a large order on the spot and gave Xiaotian a large number of high-level materials as a deposit.
That afternoon, Xiaotian returned to Blue Star smoothly with a space ring full of stuff.
...
After returning to Blue Star, Xiaotian did not plan to rest.
She first handed the high-level materials to Hammer 80, and explained in detail to the craftsmen the requirements of the Xiling tribe for various aspects of equipment.
Then, she asked Su Yu to help her open the portal, and came to Rongcheng to meet with Senior Wang Mang to continue looking for the traces of the First Emperor.
...
Senior Wang Mang has also done a lot of things in recent days.
Although Xiaotian was not there, he used his experience and ancient documents to finally determine the place of "Shenmu Lei".
As they walked, the senior explained to Xiaotian: "According to my speculation and the preview of the hexagram, the place of 'Shenmu Lei' is most likely to be the hiding place of the First Emperor. I hope we can gain something here."
"I also hope that the First Emperor can be here." Xiaotian nodded.
Then, she took out a golden dice from her backpack and carefully held it in her palm.
She introduced to Senior Wang Mang: "This is the [Destiny Dice] that Su Yu gave me three days ago. It can accurately measure our current luck. Let's use it and see how our luck is now."
"Okay, you do it." Senior Wang Mang did not object and stood aside.
"Hu——" Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
She flicked the dice in her hand lightly.
The dice drew a golden parabola in the air and finally landed on the ground not far in front of her.
The destiny dice rolled on the ground for a few times and then stopped completely, with one side facing up.
Looking at the top of the dice, Xiaotian's face immediately showed a smile: "It's '6'! Senior Wang Mang, it seems that our operation this time will be very smooth!"
"Is that so?" Senior Wang Mang did not know the meaning of the number, but he nodded and looked around: "If that's the case, then the First Emperor should be in this mountain?"
As soon as Senior Wang Mang finished speaking, the body of Xiaoyue Wolf Dabai, who was walking in front of them, suddenly froze and did not move.
Then, Dabai called out "Awoo" quickly, and then ran towards a valley in the left front at the fastest speed.
In the past three days, Xiaotian and Senior Wang Mang have provided Dabai with a lot of "special training".
The so-called "special training" is for the soul-blocking stone.
Senior Wang Mang has more than a dozen soul-blocking stones in his hand, and the First Emperor has at least hundreds of thousands of soul-blocking stones.
The reason why the Blue Star monks can't find the First Emperor is because these hundreds of thousands of soul-blocking stones completely cover all the spiritual energy fluctuations created by the First Emperor's hiding place.
In the past three days, Xiaotian and Senior Wang Mang have made Xiaoyue Wolf Dabai familiar with the smell of soul-blocking stones, and then let Dabai use his sense of smell to find soul-blocking stones.
As long as they can find a large number of soul-blocking stones, it means that they have found the place where the First Emperor is hiding.
Seeing Xiaoyue Wolf Dabai suddenly start to run fast, Xiaotian and Senior Wang Mang were immediately overjoyed!
Dabai must have found the existence of soul-blocking stones!
Although Dabai can't speak, it continues to use its mental power to send information to its master Xiaotian, which means that it smells the scent of "Bi Ling Stone", many different scents of "Bi Ling Stone".
Xiaotian translated this information and told the old senior Wang Mang, and the two were even happier.
Combined with the [Fate Dice], they may have found the location of the First Emperor!
...
The Howling Moon Wolf Dabai led the two to run for three or four kilometers, and finally stopped in a valley.
"Awoo~" After arriving at the place, Dabai looked around in confusion, with a somewhat dazed look.
Through its sense of smell, it could smell the smell of a lot of messy "Blind Spirit Stones" around. But looking forward, it did not see any "Blind Spirit Stones", and the scenery in front of it was no different from an ordinary valley.
What's going on? Is its sense of smell wrong?
Fortunately, Senior Wang Mang followed closely behind it.
Arriving at this place, Senior Wang Mang saw the unusualness of this place at a glance.
He said to Xiaotian seriously: "If I am not mistaken, this is an illusion, and the illusion covers the hiding place of the First Emperor.
This position should be an entrance, but this may be just one of the entrances, and there may be other entrances around."
Xiaotian asked: "Then Senior, what should we do?"
She still has some experience in exploring the secret realm on Skru Star, because the secret realm is very similar to the dungeon in the "Evolution" game.
But for a place like the "First Emperor's Hideout" that is more about cultivating immortals, she is powerless and can only listen to the advice of Senior Wang Mang.
"Leave this to me." Senior Wang Mang took a slow step forward. When Xiaoyuelang Dabai saw him coming, he stepped aside with a tactful look, sticking out his tongue and looking at him.
Senior Wang Mang stood where Xiaoyuelang Dabai had just stood, took a deep breath, and said aloud: "% x-on:% # ..."
He spoke a series of ancient Chinese words, which Xiaotian could not understand at all.
However, based on speculation, Xiaotian felt that Senior Wang Mang was introducing himself.
After Senior Wang Mang finished speaking, he shot a light green spiritual energy directly forward.
The spiritual energy turned in the air and then disappeared.
After about 5 seconds, a ripple-like fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space in front of the two people. Then, a pitch-black gate about three meters wide appeared in front of the two people.
Seeing the sudden gate, Xiaotian's eyes immediately lit up!
It seems that they really found the right place!
Senior Wang Mang's expression did not change much.
He walked forward calmly and knocked on the door more than ten times in a special rhythm.
Finally, when he knocked on the 15th time, the two pitch-black doors creaked open.
"Let's go in." Senior Wang Mang turned around and said to Xiaotian, then took the lead to walk into the door.
"Okay... okay." Xiaotian quickly put the Howling Moon Wolf Dabai into the pet space, and then followed Senior Wang Mang's footsteps.
After all, she was going to see the First Emperor, and bringing a pet in might be considered disrespectful by the First Emperor. To be on the safe side, she put away the Howling Moon Wolf Dabai.
...
...
After stepping into the pitch-black double door, the scenery in front of her changed and suddenly became clear!
Now Xiaotian and Senior Wang Mang are no longer in that very ordinary valley, but standing at the foot of a towering fairy mountain.
This fairy mountain is very tall and straight, and the peak is straight into the sky.
The reason why it is called "Fairy Mountain" is mainly because the peak is full of various ancient pines full of fairy spirit, and you can vaguely see cranes flying. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "Fairy Mountain".
Now in front of them is a "Z"-shaped staircase, which can go all the way up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain is a magnificent hall, and in front of the hall stands a giant black stone tablet.
Apart from this, from their perspective, they can hardly see anything else.
"Let's go up and take a look." Elder Wang Mang did not show any nervousness and climbed up the stairs.
Xiaotian immediately followed him, while looking around vigilantly.
Although this place like a secret realm looks safe, in tomb-robbing novels, the tombs of ancient emperors often hide some hidden weapons to deal with future tomb robbers, so it is better to be careful.
...
However, Xiaotian's vigilance was obviously over-concerned.
They went up all the way and came to the black stone tablet in front of the hall on the mountainside without any obstacles.
Xiaotian looked up at the huge black stone tablet, which was 5 meters wide and more than 10 meters high, with small characters the size of a fingernail written on it in golden paint.
The font used for these small characters was official script, so Xiaotian could understand most of them, and even if she couldn't understand them, she could guess them by referring to the context.
It was certainly no pressure for Senior Wang Mang to read these words.
In this way, the two stood in front of the stone tablet and patiently read the words on it.
…
Unknowingly, half an hour passed.
Senior Wang Mang finished reading the words on the stone tablet before Xiaotian, and fell into deep thought while touching his chin.
Xiaotian also reluctantly finished reading the text description on the tablet.
After reading it, she immediately figured out many questions. For example, "Where is the First Emperor?", "Why did the First Emperor build a hiding place here?", "Why did the First Emperor collect all the 'Bide Spirit Stones' in the world?" and so on.
To answer this question, we have to start from the First Emperor's unification of the six kingdoms.
More than 2,300 years ago, the First Emperor defeated the vassal states of Yan, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, and Han, unified the country, ended a century of separatist wars, and achieved the throne.
His own strength continued to accumulate in the process of unifying the world, and finally broke through to the peak of Mahayana (peak of the God level), becoming one of the strongest beings on Blue Star.
But after unifying the country, the First Emperor suddenly lost his goal.
The country was unified, and there were almost no enemies in the four seas.
The southeast of the dynasty is a vast ocean, and the northwest is a barren land. There is no value in occupying it. Even if it is valuable, it cannot be occupied with the manpower at that time.
As for strength, becoming the peak of Mahayana is already the upper limit of Blue Star. If you want to break through the planetary level, all the resources of Blue Star are far from enough, and it is simply impossible.
As for letting the descendants of the country last for thousands of years? Sorry, he is not interested in this.
Therefore, the First Emperor fell into confusion.
But in the fifth year of his reign, one day he woke up from a dream and suddenly thought of a wonderful idea-the world is so big, he wants to see it!
Of course, this world does not refer to Blue Star, but the vast universe outside.
There are 100 billion planets in the Milky Way alone, and the Saint Silver Galaxy next door has 1 trillion stars!
Such a vast world must be colorful!
The First Emperor had a strong desire to "go out and see".
But soon the problem came-he couldn't go out.
King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, had left the Blue Planet, but he met an interstellar traveler by chance, and with the help of that interstellar traveler, he successfully left.
The First Emperor did not meet any interstellar travelers. To be honest, he had never seen an alien.
Without the help of aliens, his own strength was not enough to leave the solar system.
So, the First Emperor fell into depression.
In desperation, he could only wait, hoping that aliens would visit the Blue Planet again and take him away.
This wait lasted for 32 years.
During these 32 years, the First Emperor had been looking forward to the arrival of alien visitors, but unfortunately, he did not even see a hair of aliens.
And in the long wait, his patience was completely exhausted.
After repeated thinking, he decided not to wait for aliens foolishly, but to adopt a stupid method.
This method is - time travel!
He wanted to travel to the future, to an era when the Blue Planet had been connected with the cosmic civilization.
According to his estimation, it would take at least 100,000 years for humans on the Blue Planet to develop to the level of interstellar travel. (Dinosaurs ruled the blue planet for about 100 million years, so 100,000 years is really not that long.)
However, the life span of a peak god-level strongman is only 3,000 years at most, and he would definitely not live to that age if he lived normally.
So, he built this hiding place and sealed his body. Every cell and every molecule in his body stopped moving under the restraint of spiritual energy and entered a completely dormant state.
After entering a completely dormant state, his life span would increase significantly, and it would be no problem to live for 100,000 or even a million years.
This is what is called "travel through time".
This is a bit like some rich people in modern times freezing their entire bodies, hoping to be thawed and resurrected one day in the future.
With this stupid method, the First Emperor could successfully "travel through time" to the future world, and then use the technology of the future world to go to the universe.
