“In the primitive era, Zhennan Pass was controlled by my Nangong family. My Nangong family is not the kind of people who are stingy. Every 100,000 years, we will open the entrance to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine once.”
“Some people took advantage of the situation and, after entering the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, chose not to come out.”
"After all, this place used to be a medium-sized world, where supreme powerhouses have emerged, and it was unclaimed land. In addition, too many powerful figures have perished here in the great battles."
"The treasures left behind by those powerful figures are enough for many cultivators to cultivate for a lifetime."
"According to Dugu Xiao, those people stayed behind, occupied the territory, and slowly searched for the treasures in the place they occupied. They had the same idea as him, thinking that they would leave here after breaking through to a higher realm."
"Among them, some have even reached the level of Great Emperor, yet they still choose to stay here."
"This kind of person is probably trying to find the traces of the Great Dao left behind by the fallen supreme beings."
"After all, once you reach the Great Emperor realm, you only have one goal: to become the Supreme One!"
"The reason why the Tianhuang Ancient Mine was not reduced to dust back then was because the Earthly Venerable used his Great Dao to lock this world and prevent it from collapsing."
"They want to find the supreme path, comprehend and refine it, so that they can take it a step further."
"That's why my father brought the Supreme Dao Artifact when he entered this place, because the danger here isn't just the environment, but sometimes the people here are also extremely dangerous!"
Nangong Daoyi explained slowly.
The Nangong family, after all, had monopolized the Tianhuang Ancient Mine in the previous era, and were very familiar with the situation here.
There are powerful emperors here, and more than one!
It existed even in the era of great emperors, or even in the mythological age!
Such people may not live that long, but what if they have a source of longevity?
And what if they actually get a second life?
The maximum lifespan of an ordinary emperor is one era, which is 1.296 billion years!
The more powerful emperors might live for another hundred million or two hundred million years, but not by much more.
If you want to live for another era, there are only two ways: to be reborn and live a second life!
If one does not live a second life, then the only way to prolong one's life is to become a supreme being.
However, it is clear that the second method is less likely!
How large is your activity area?
Chen Xuan asked.
The skull immediately replied, "East to Demon Mountain, west to Sky Pit, north to Poison Cave Ridge, and south to Shattered Bone Valley."
Chen Xuan shook his head: "I've never heard of any of the places you mentioned. Do you have a map of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine? I can tell at a glance."
Chen Xuan was a newcomer, entering this place for the first time. How would he know anything about Demon Mountain and Tianya Pit?
Saying this to him is like casting pearls before swine.
However, if there is a map, it will be clear at a glance.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Dugu Xiao knew that Chen Xuan and his ilk wouldn't let him off just because his grandfather was the Old Demon Dugu.
To survive, he had to demonstrate his worth.
Immediately, his skull floated in mid-air and suddenly spat out a green flame into the air.
The flames instantly coalesced into a circular map.
Above, there are tens of thousands of region names densely packed together.
The area where Chen Xuan and his group were located was called the Bone-Splitting Mound, marked as the territory of the Bone-Splitting Great God Emperor.
Clearly, this so-called Rift God Emperor is this skull.
The area they were in was on the edge of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, near the desolate bridge.
Tens of thousands of region names, most of which are actually uninhabited areas.
However, dozens of places were specifically marked.
One of the marked spots is where the skull is located.
In other words, these dozens of specially marked places are all Great God Emperors?
"These are all Great God Emperors, right?"
Chen Xuan inquired.
The skull nodded.
"My goodness, is there really so many Great God Emperors in this god-like place?"
The big black ox couldn't help but grunt.
There are more than thirty of these specially marked places!
In other words, there are more than thirty Great God Emperors?
The entire Southern Barbarian region combined doesn't have that many!
"That's not surprising. Most of the Great God Emperors here are ghost cultivators. Some of them are even the heroic spirits who died in the final battle back then. Their souls remained and they cultivated into ghost cultivators."
"However, some ghost cultivators, although they have become Great God Emperors, are forever trapped here and unable to leave!"
"Once they leave this place, they will immediately vanish into thin air. The reason they were able to survive is because the Great Dao of the Earthly Venerable protected them. Once they leave this place, without the protection of the Great Dao of the Earthly Venerable, they will naturally perish!"
Nangong Daoyi continued to explain that he had seen these things in the ancient books of the Nangong family.
"How do we get here? Lead us!"
Suddenly, the monkey pointed to a location near the center of the map.
That place is called Burial Mountain!
"Monkey, do you know this place?"
Chen Xuan asked.
The monkey's eyes suddenly reddened, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "My father's last battle was fought here with the God, and it was here that my father sealed me in the Source of Longevity and had my uncle take me away!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately said, "Then take us here."
"Ah, this, this..."
However, the skull-headed Dugu Xiao showed a look of terror.
"What, you don't want to?"
The big black ox glared fiercely and said menacingly, "Don't think that just because you have the identity of the Dugu family, you can use it as a life-saving token. If you dare to disobey us, believe me, Grandpa Ox will smash your skull with one punch!"
Dugu Xiao immediately broke down in tears and said, "Great Emperors, it's not that I don't listen to you, but that place is not a place that ordinary people can go!"
"That's Burial Sky Mountain, a place of great terror. Anyone who has been there has experienced strange and ominous events!"
"It's said that even emperors have encountered misfortune if they went there!"
As he spoke, he trembled uncontrollably, clearly out of fear and apprehension, a deep-seated terror!
"Even if the Emperor went in, something unexpected would happen?"
These words greatly surprised Chen Xuan and the others.
Ao Yan's face also showed a hint of surprise.
He didn't actually know much about the Tianhuang Ancient Mine; in fact, this was his second time entering it.
The first time he entered this place was at the end of the barbaric era. He was still young then and came in with his father, Zhongzun.
He didn't know what his father did after he came in; he only knew that he hadn't stayed there long before his father took him away.
