"Everyone, put in a little more effort, we’re about to succeed!"

In the valley, Zhou Mingde attacked the stone walls at the bottom of the deep pit vigorously while loudly urging everyone to intensify their attacks.

By this time, they had been assaulting the stone walls for over two hours, and the layer of yellowish spiritual light on top of the stone walls had thinned to a mere sliver.

The Earth Armored Dragon had already appeared before, but they had easily repelled it.

The only obstacle preventing them from entering the cave mansion now was that stone wall.

Upon hearing Zhou Mingde’s words, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang also looked invigorated and slightly increased the strength of their attacks. Discover hidden stories at novelbuddy

After continuing the attack for about a quarter of an hour, the yellowish spiritual light on the stone wall finally dissipated completely, and their attacks finally made contact with the stone wall itself.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the stone wall at the bottom of the pit was instantly blasted open, creating a huge cavity.

"It really is a tomb!"

On the ground, Zhou Mingde’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the interlayer stone wall revealed behind the stone wall, revealing a hint of surprise.

Undoubtedly, a true cave mansion would not be constructed with layers upon layers for defense.

Only the tombs of high-ranking cultivators would be painstakingly built with multiple protections to prevent disturbance to their eternal rest.

"Since it’s a tomb, there should be a tomb entrance. Now that we’ve uncovered the passage, should we search for the tomb entrance and enter from the main door?"

Shen Borong surveyed the newly revealed tomb passage and spoke his opinion with a firm voice.

His reason made sense.

Because when high-ranking cultivators construct their tombs, to prevent violent destruction, they often place self-destruct mechanisms.

If someone violently breaks the integrity of the tomb and delves into the inner chamber where the coffin lies, the self-destruct mechanism will trigger, destroying both the remains and relics left behind.

At the same time, to prevent violent destruction of their tomb, a Tomb Master often constructs a main entrance leading directly to the main chamber and sets various trials.

If someone can pass the trials, they can directly reach the main chamber and take away the relics left by the Tomb Master.

After acquiring all the relics of the Tomb Master, one is considered to have established a certain fate with the Tomb Master.

Therefore, any cultivator with proper conduct would not damage the remains of the Tomb Master and would not desecrate the tomb in any way.

Having heard Shen Borong’s words, Zhou Mingde pondered for a moment and then nodded lightly, "We can try to look for it. If there really is a main door, it’s indeed worth attempting to enter through it."

"This concubine thinks the same," Ruan Hongzhuang chimed in with a nod of agreement.

Thus, after enhancing their protective spells, the three instructed Zhou Chun and the other two juniors to maintain the Formation above ground while they themselves leaped into the bottom of the pit and began their exploration along the tomb passage.

The pitch-black tomb passage was quite spacious; the distance between the two sides was three to four zhang, filled with a decaying odor.

For safety, Zhou Mingde and the two others activated their Mana to cut off any contact with the external air and carefully proceeded forward on foot.

After traveling over three hundred zhang along the tomb passage, the trio arrived inside an Underground Cave Hall.

The Underground Cave Hall was semi-circular in shape with a radius of about ten zhang. On the wall that leaned toward the tomb, there were two tightly closed stone doors with two bizarre stone beasts resembling tiger-bodied oxen in front of them.

Clearly, this was the main entrance of the tomb that Zhou Mingde and his party were seeking.

"How should we open this door? It seems the Tomb Master left no clues behind!"

After scanning the hall several times with his Divine Sense, Shen Borong voiced his doubts with a puzzled expression.

"Having left no obvious clue is the best explanation, isn’t it?"

Zhou Mingde glanced at him and said lightly, "I fear that the first challenge is to test whether we have the strength to break through this door!"

"Is that really the case?"

Shen Borong frowned, seemingly unconvinced.

But Zhou Mingde had already summoned his Flying Sword and hacked it toward the stone door.

Indeed, as soon as the Flying Sword neared the door, a yellowish light screen suddenly appeared, blocking it.

At the same time, the eyes of the two stone beasts in front of the door suddenly glowed with life, as if they had been imbued with vitality.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde and his companions were immediately alert and prepared themselves for confrontation.

Very quickly, the two stone beasts entered combat mode and launched an attack on the three of them.

The stone beast on the left gathered a yellowish spiritual light in its mouth, which quickly transformed into a light beam and bombarded Shen Borong.

The stone beast on the right, meanwhile, shone fiery light from its eyes, shooting two fiery red rays toward Zhou Mingde and Ruan Hongzhuang.

All three were interested in testing the strength of the stone beasts and chose to meet the attacks head-on.

The result was a bit of a relief for the trio.

The stone beasts’ attacks were strong, certainly at a third-tier standard, but at most comparable to a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

And against such rigid attacks, there was no way they couldn’t defend themselves.

Having gauged the stone beasts’ abilities, the trio and the demon began prioritizing their attacks on the two stone beasts.

What they did not expect was that the stone beasts also benefited from the protection of the light screen that guarded the tomb’s main door; their attacks were resisted by the screen.

As a result, they had to withstand the stone beasts’ attacks while attempting to break through the yellowish light screen.

Realizing this, the trio decisively retreated from the hall.

As if controlled by someone, once the three left the hall, the two stone beasts returned to stillness and ceased their attacks on them.
