Lin Caogen sighed inwardly.
The sharpness of this evil spirit's family heirloom sword is second only to his own Dragon Sword!
Zhang Xieling cut a hole the size of a human in the wall of the Queen Mother of the West's tomb as easily as cutting tofu!
Zhang Xieling kicked out, sending all the bricks to the ground. Then he lit a torch and walked into the tomb passage!
Lin Caogen and Gu Qing followed closely behind!
Zhang Xieling looked around and said, "Be careful! There might be traps ahead! This Queen Mother of the West's tomb probably has nine levels! We're currently on the second level! There seems to be another level above us!"
Lin Caogen said, "Brother Xieling! You seem very familiar with this tomb of the Queen Mother of the West! Logically, this should be your first time here!"
Zhang Xieling tossed out a construction blueprint and said, "My ancestors participated in the construction of the Queen Mother of the West's tomb! It's just a pity that in that world-destroying war, my ancestor was not spared either. He died right after burying the Queen Mother of the West! Fortunately, our Immortal Continent's Senior Shi Benzun killed the Brahma God, otherwise all of humanity on our Immortal Continent would have died!"
Lin Caogen took the blueprints and saw that they were indeed the construction blueprints for the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West!
The tomb chamber has nine levels, and the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West is placed in the ninth level!
Lin Caogen stepped on the floor tiles and asked, "Can we cut through the floor tiles to get to the ninth floor?"
Zhang Xieling shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not! Although there is space under these floor tiles, the tiles are a meter thick, and there are steel bars made of black iron inside! Even my family's heirloom sword can't cut through these floor tiles!"
Lin Caogen said, "Why don't I give it a try! This underground palace is enormous. If we try to find the stairs to the ninth underground level, who knows when we'll find it!"
Zhang Xieling exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lin, can your sword cut through the floor tiles?"
Lin Caogen said, "I'll give it a try first!"
After saying that, Lin Caogen drew the Youlong Sword and plunged it into the ground! It actually went in! Even the black iron steel bars in the floor tiles were cut by the Youlong Sword!
Zhang Xieling exclaimed, "Brother Lin! Your sword is incredibly sharp, even sharper than my family's heirloom saber! Could this sword be a divine weapon?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "I guess so!"
After saying that, he forcefully slashed the Dragon Sword and actually cut a gap in the floor tile!
A half-square-meter-sized floor tile fell directly into the third-level tomb chamber, making a crisp sound!
It was this sound that startled the guardians in the third-level tomb chamber!
In the center of the third-level tomb chamber was a large coffin, surrounded by nine smaller coffins! At that moment, all the coffin lids opened, and ten mummified corpses jumped out!
The 10 mummies looked around, but couldn't find the tomb raiders!
The largest mummified corpse in the middle emitted a hoarse sound. Then he looked up at the roof and saw a large brick fall from the roof, creating a space between the second and third floors!
It was this brick that fell and made a sound, which startled the mummies!
The dried-out eyes of the corpse rolled around, and then it leaped and peered into the square hole cut open above its head!
He grabbed the floor tiles above with both hands and stuck his head in, trying to see what was up there!
At that moment, Lin Caogen made a decisive move and with a single slash of his dragon sword, severed the head of the dried corpse!
The mummified corpse was completely lifeless, but its body was still stuck in the hole!
Zhang Xieling couldn't help but gasp!
This mummified corpse died a truly miserable death!
If a battle were to truly break out, this mummified corpse alone possesses the combat power of a Celestial Venerable!
Lin Caogen kicked out, sending the headless, dried-up corpse crashing down!
The remaining nine mummies below became agitated. Lin Caogen didn't waste any time and jumped down from the third level. He unleashed the Dragon Sword and used the Fusion Sword Intent from the World Destroyer Sword Scripture to wreak havoc!
Each of the nine mummies possessed the strength of a peak Grandmaster, but they were all chopped off like vegetables in front of Lin Caogen!
Zhang Xieling and Gu Qing jumped down to the third level. Looking at the mummified corpses lying motionless all around, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Lin! We owe you so much today! The weakest of these mummified corpses is at the peak of the Grandmaster level! If I were to face any one of them alone, I would likely be killed! Fortunately, you were here today. If Gu Qing and I had rashly entered this Xi Wangmu tomb, we would have certainly died!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "It's alright! We're friends! No need to be so polite! But the mummified puppets on this third level are already so powerful! I wonder what kind of dangers lie below!"
Zhang Xieling said, "Brother Lin! Your method of cutting through the floor tiles and jumping down is less strenuous, but I'm worried it might awaken the evil spirits below! Why don't we walk and find the stairs instead?"
Lin Caogen thought for a moment and said, "That's true! It's safest to find the stairs quietly! The commotion was too loud just now! I'm afraid the guardian spirits or puppets in the fourth underground space might have awakened!"
Holding a torch, Zhang Xieling led Lin Caogen and Gu Qing toward the edge of the tomb!
Suddenly, everyone felt a wave of dampness coming towards them!
Lin Caogen immediately took out the high-brightness flashlight he had brought from Earth, and the entire third floor of the tomb was instantly illuminated!
Zhang Xieling exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lin! What kind of treasure is this? It can emit light like the sun!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Just a little trick! What is it?"
Lin Caogen looked at a tomb wall and saw that it was covered with vines, and the dampness was coming from the vine wall!
Zhang Xieling exclaimed with delight, “Congratulations, Brother Lin! That is the Soul-Shocking Vine! This vine is sentient; if you don’t provoke it, it won’t provoke you! But if you provoke it or accidentally touch it, it can take your life! Each of these vines is comparable to a 7th-level Grandmaster! It is a plant with powerful attack capabilities! Look, there are at least ten Soul-Shocking Vines on this wall. If I were here alone, I would never dare to touch them!”
