Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Lee Yao expanded his search by a radius of more than 100 kilometres, focusing on the location where the Lightspeed Crystal fell and the Pankos appeared.

Indeed, as he discovered the mysteries hidden beneath vines, weeds, and fungus blankets, releasing flames to burn, he found the remains of a number of starships under lush, living vegetation.

The Green Dragon, the Long Sky Tiger, the Golden Hammer, the Hydragon... are all all-terrain warships that can travel freely through the no-gravity vacuum and the high gravity atmosphere.

Like the Lightspeed Crystal, these warships become distorted wreckage, devoured by wildly growing plants, and there are not many valuable discoveries in them.

However, near the wreckage of these warships, Li Yao found a large number of scattered skeletons - several metres long, strong, dark gold thighs, clearly from the Pankos, not humans.

Perhaps there were plenty of human bodies here, but like the flesh of the Pankos, they were devoured by plants and fungus blankets, and only the thickest, toughest, golden thighbones capable of carrying dozens of tons of weight would they be indelible.

So when Ding Bell, Longyang King and Li Linghai's leading fleet of human explorers entered the Emperor's tomb, the first encounter was not Lu Light Dust's ambush, but a large group of fanatical Pankos?

Li Yao carefully examines the damage to the wreckage of each starship, leaves no stone unturned, and deduces the cause of the trauma with his extensive refiner experience.

He found that the vast majority of what appeared to be eye-catching wounds originated from very low levels of soldier magic - such as mega-sized chainsaws and shock knives.

Even around some irregular cracks, there are some dark golden bloodstains, which seem to have been fisted naked by the Pankos and torn raw - but very much in line with the characteristic of the Pankos, who drank blood and had infinite power.

If it is a formed Pangu battle team, it should not only carry single-handed treasures such as chainsaw swords, shock knives, or even pharaohs, but use fists against human warships.

Therefore, Li Yao suspected that the Pangu tribe that humans had encountered in the fleet of explorers, like the Pangu tribe just now, had lost their memory and reason, and had degenerated into a savage who knew only his instincts.

Is this the effect of the “virus” in Longyang's mouth, or can it thaw time, the effect of the "light of life” that drives plants to grow wildly, or is it the result of hundreds of millions of instantaneous mutations in the virus stimulated by the "light of life”?

Li Yao doesn't know.

Despite his impatience, the next second he wanted to reveal the answer, he barely suppressed his anxiety, finding as many as two or three hundred kilometres from the circle as possible, all the crashed starships, and collecting from the wreckage of those ships barely enough pharmacopoeia, high-energy nutrients, and crystal fuel.

He was lucky to have a repair workshop with a multifunction support ship that was largely intact and the repair platform was still available.

Although it is not possible to change the bones of the Giant Divine Soldier, it is good that the main structure of the "Arsonist” has not been destroyed, merely the shell torn apart by the meteorite storm of the “Ancient Thirteenth”.

After replacing the reactive armor with hundreds of colorful metal patches and filling it with crystal fuel, it lit a dark and stubborn flame.

Li Yao took a night off before finally marching towards the “origin”.

In the ancient tomb of the Emperor, there was no real day and night, and after about fourteen or five hours of blue sky clouds, the sky was covered with intense mist, and the process would last almost ten hours, and then it would be new, blue sky clouds exactly like yesterday.

Li Yaoqian had a feeling.

This… too ancient monument, whether called the “tomb of the emperor” or “tomb of the gods” or “tomb of the black", is not intended for the Pankos, but for mankind.

The reason is obvious.

Gravity here is the standard gravity best suited to human survival and combat, as is oxygen in the air and various impurity levels, including temperature, humidity, and even plants, animals, and fungi.

Li Yao detected the toxicity of many plants, animals and fungi, and found that the vast majority of the living beings here are not toxic, but rather have an excellent supplementary and restorative effect on the human body. It is a “cave heavenly bliss", “celestial treasure” can be found everywhere.

Even ordinary people, who live here to drink blood, eat a lot of celestial treasures, breathe the latest fresh air, will slowly grow flesh after the accumulation of the sun and the moon, awaken spiritual roots and become practitioners.

Also, the nearly 24-hour "day and night" is the most suitable “standard planet” for human survival, with the most average turnaround time.

Big things like the Pankos that require cold air and low gravity, because native planets tend to have smaller densities, larger volumes, and longer rotational cycles, and their "day and night” spans far more than 24 hours.

The Pankos will never be too comfortable here.

“Why?”

Li Yaolan muttered to himself, “If this is really the ‘control hub’ of black wall makers, why is it so suitable for human survival and practice? What exactly does the so-called 'black wall maker’ look like? ”

The answer to this question, like so many others, will only be revealed when Li Yao arrives at the true entrance to the ancient tomb.

While cultivating the essence, Li Yao released Xiao Kuo, through which he manipulated the monitoring lens eyes, scanned the nearby 500km of terrain, eliminated interference from the trees and fungal weeds, and compared it with the topographical map drawn in previous explorations of Li Ling Hai.

Unexpectedly, the "light of life" is the strongest, and the most dense “origin” of plants is the true entrance to the ancient tomb.

Li Yao opened the way with a flaming knife and marched towards the deepest part of the jungle when the sky was again painted with a strong blue colour.

A large number of plants and fungi made a "squeak squeak” sound in the flame burning, Cesar shivered away, more branches and vines spreading in fear before pouring towards the ashes behind Li Yao and instantly devouring his future path.

The nightmarish scene in no way prevented Li Yao from exploring the truth. He had a difficult journey through the depths of the jungle. Three hours later, after discovering more starship wreckage, he finally found a ruin of the camp left behind during his last exploration of the Li Ling Sea!

This is a fragment of a metal anti-radiation tent with the speckled word "deep sea” on one corner.

Such tents are used to build mobile laboratories, isolate all kinds of subtle radiation and ensure the accuracy of the results of the experiment. Li Linghai told Li Yao that she had tried to carry out some research in the ancient tomb of the Emperor in order to carry and expand a large number of tents.

The word "deep sea” naturally means deep sea fleet and is the private arm of Li Linghai.

Nonetheless, the Emperor's ancient tomb was such a big secret that Li Linghai was reluctant to be known by too many people, so every time she explored it, she carried almost only a large number of spiritual puppets as assistants.

When Li Yao dug out three multi-functional puppets that had long been depleted of energy from the depths of the earth, abandoned puppets, and a large number of pieces of engineering treasures from the Star Sea Empire Era, he became more assertive in his judgment. This is the camp of Li Linghai, the Emperor's forward base, which is the real entrance to the Emperor's ancient tomb.

So, what about the door?

Li Linghai told Li Yao that the real entrance to the Emperor's ancient tomb existed with a literal “gate”.

It's a black tablet nine meters tall, four meters wide, and one meter thick.

Nine to four to one, three to one square ratio, very solemn, perfect ratio.

This gate, or this black stone tablet, is as precise as the first entrance, and no matter how sophisticated the measuring instruments used by Li Linghai are, it is impossible to calculate even the slightest error, reaching the point of peak creation in the fields of mechanics, materials and finishing.

However, the first entrance does not refuse, and any living creature touches it and is immediately assimilated, fused and inhaled by it, while the second door is an incredibly sturdy black stone tablet that no matter how powerful sea stimulates it and collides with it, cannot be opened at all.

Without obtaining verbal information from the Emperor's forward base, and the insistence of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi that it was the real entrance, Li Linghai could not connect a solid stone tablet to the gate to the upper ancient mystery.

The existence of this black stone tablet also reinforces Li Yao's speculation that "the ruins of Tai Ancient are for mankind”.

Gates nine meters tall and four meters wide are too fast for Pankos, or for giants as tall as Pankos over ten meters tall.

For humankind, the conflicting concepts of solemnity and beauty have been well integrated.

Besides, the length unit "m” is best suited for human use - any type of human intelligent life tends to be the first to think of its arm's length when setting the length unit, so the Pangu “meter” is much longer than the human “meter”.

“In the ancient Tai Dynasty hundreds of millions of years ago, was there some kind of super-civilization, in meters, that left a door to the future for mankind hundreds of millions of years later? ”

Li Yao thought so.

But now the door is gone.

Li Linghai told Li Yao that her camp and the Emperor's forward base were set in front of the black stone tablet. The distance between the three would not exceed 100 meters. Within the 100 meters radius, no matter how tall the weeds and shrubs were, Li Yao would not ignore a black stone tablet nine meters high.

But...

Li Yao released his mind and scanned it in the direction that the black stone tablet should exist. Suddenly, his heart beat faster independently. The sound of "buzzing” sounded in his mind, as if it were a song from Tai Ancient, an incomparably sacred and mysterious summons.

“What the hell is this? ”

Looking close, the latest form of black stone tablet, Li Yiumei gazed and lost his voice.
