In the world of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," the Wang family, "it," the Zhang family, the Queen Mother of the West, King Mu of Zhou, Iron-Faced Sheng, and Qiu Dekao—every single one of them dreams of immortality and eternal existence.
As for how many people have to die for their goals, none of these guys care.
Cao Ya found the idea of joining the game, figuring out the ins and outs, and then using leverage to break the deadlock too troublesome.
The most satisfying thing is still a brute-force push.
He certainly wasn't particularly compassionate; after all, he wasn't himself from [Global Martial Arts]. He was simply unhappy with "it," the Wang family, and the Zhang family.
Cao Ya is going to destroy all the key things and all the key places.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing the expressions on those guys' faces.
"Forget about Wang Zanghai, he's a half-dead guy, not worth paying attention to." Cao Ya shouted, finished his canned food, and got up to continue walking deeper into the area.
The remaining people exchanged glances. Although they felt that Cao Ya might have made a mistake, how could an ancient person from the early Ming Dynasty be half-dead, with his bones already cold?
However, Cao Ya's performance in other aspects is still trustworthy.
Wu Xie carefully put away the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish. Even if the contents inside weren't important, the fish itself was quite valuable.
Wu Xie is in the antique business, so he has a good eye for these things.
As they walked down the path, they occasionally came across some murals. Wu Xie wanted to stay and take a look, but seeing that Cao Ya showed no intention of stopping, he had no choice but to follow.
They comforted themselves by thinking they could look at it again when they got back, and after a day, the group finally arrived at a rift valley.
Continuing along the rift valley, they arrived at the core of the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds within a few hours.
Still in the rift valley, the bottom was full of extremely uneven black volcanic rocks, and there were countless bones and black excrement that had fallen on top of them, almost covering all the rocks.
The crowd was somewhat surprised; where did these bones come from?
Cao Ya stood straight, squinting as he gazed at the dark gate not far away.
Beside him, the expression on Zhang Qiling's face was also changing; he seemed to have remembered something again.
"Holy crap, what's that?" the fat man suddenly exclaimed, shining his flashlight over and seeing a massive bronze door on one side of the cliff below the rift valley.
It's hard to describe the magnificence of this giant gate. It's about 30 meters high and nearly 60 meters wide. The entire gate looks like it was cast from a single piece. It's definitely not a bronze artifact that the ancients could have cast, and it's definitely not meant for human use. Such a gate weighs tens of thousands of tons and is pressed against the rocks. Who could open it?
The door was decorated with extremely exquisite patterns. Because the door was so large, the complexity of these patterns was simply terrifying, and a sense of suffocation was overwhelming. There was a gap in the giant door, but it was closed perfectly. It was covered with human skin dripping with frozen blood, which froze the entire gap. The human skin was bluish-gray in color and almost petrified. It seemed that after the bronze door was sealed, no one had opened it for who knows how many years.
"This is... the underground door through which the King of Wannu of Dongxia crawled out of the ground?" Wu Xie held his breath.
This bronze artifact, a bronze gate located at the bottom of a rift valley, some distance from the ground, is a testament to the immense engineering feat of the ancients, and the countless artisans who perished in its creation.
Wu Xie suddenly felt very heavy-hearted, and then muttered a curse under his breath: "Damn the old society."
The fat man muttered, "Regardless of whether the King of Ten Thousand Slaves crawled out from inside, we absolutely cannot get in."
Pan Zi and Shun Zi were also stunned. Who could have built such a huge door here?
The silent man stared blankly, completely oblivious to the conversation between the others.
Hearing the fat man's words, Cao Ya smiled and said:
"Who said we can't get in?"
The group suddenly turned their heads and stared straight at Cao Ya, their eyes filled with disbelief.
How could you push that away?
Don't be ridiculous, even a hundred people couldn't push it!
Unless the mechanism of this giant bronze door is found!
If the King of Wannu of Dongxia really crawled out of here, then there must be some way for him to open this giant bronze gate.
Otherwise, if they had relied on brute force to push through... if Wan Nu Wang had that ability, his country wouldn't have been destroyed by the Mongols.
It's even possible that they could turn around and destroy the Mongols.
The Silent One threw out a flare, which, in the pitch-black space, was like a small sun, illuminating the entire rift valley.
Using the fiber optics of the flares, everyone could see that this was actually a huge crevice in the mountain, with cliffs facing each other on both sides, and a corridor or something similar built on one side.
However, this was not what surprised everyone. After all, the bronze gate already existed, and the King of Ten Thousand Slaves had crawled out of here and taken control of a country. Even if it was just a small country, it would not allow this place to be abandoned and become ruins.
What truly shocked everyone was the scene in the rift valley.
In the pitch-black rift valley, flares illuminated vast areas, and countless bronze chains, as thick as bowls, stretched across both sides, connecting the rift valley together.
Deep within a chaotic rift valley, countless chains stretched out, with hardly any gaps in sight. Further in, the chains were densely covered with many things, resembling numerous bells, but they were too far away to be clearly seen.
Cao Ya could see it clearly, and even saw what was in the middle of the rift.
After the flares went out, the flashlight beams couldn't illuminate very far, and what they had just seen was now back into darkness. Suddenly, everyone felt a deadly silence, as if a terrifying monster was lurking in the darkness.
The group decided to move forward and take a look. They carefully stepped on the bones under their feet and walked to the bronze gate. They were immediately overwhelmed with a sense of insignificance. What was a human being compared to such a miracle?
Cao Ya, however, felt nothing.
If he used all his strength, he could lift this mountain, let alone a small bronze door.
"Damn, it's huge!" The fat man looked up and shone his flashlight, but the light was so diffused that he couldn't even see the top of the bronze door.
“People of our generation are used to skyscrapers, trains, airplanes, ships, and all sorts of colossal structures. Even we feel this way when we come here. It’s really hard to imagine how shocked the people of Dongxia and Wang Zanghai must have been when they came here back then. No wonder Wang Zanghai couldn’t forget his experiences here, to the point that he risked his life to record everything here and pass it on to future generations.” Wu Xie slowly exhaled, suddenly able to feel Wang Zanghai’s pain, that fear of suddenly realizing he knew nothing when he thought he had mastered the laws of the universe.
Cao Ya pointed to the side and said:
“Look there.”
