Chapter 995 - 88: Ancient Murals, Prehistoric Immortal Venerate
Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb.
At the center of the tomb, the ironworkers had transformed the entire main hall into individual structures, using it as a forward base.
"Wait a minute, after we deal with the mural, I’ll be the first to charge out!"
"I wonder what treasures lie outside this dungeon gate."
A group of ironworkers sat on the floor chatting and boasting.
On the other side.
No-Life Whale and a few others were leading the setup of the array.
After all, these ironworkers... had borrowed tomb raiding methods from others.
This space isolation array was said to be able to evade the detection and pursuit of the ancient space mural that had less than a tenth of its original power left.
But the ironworkers themselves couldn’t even manage the setup.
They had to rely on these professional cultivators to help set up the array.
"They’re quite useless, aren’t they?"
No-Life Whale complained, squatting on the ground, using his own blood to draw the array map, "All they do is brag, and in the end, we have to help set up the array. I can’t stand it."
Princess Xin’e glanced sideways at the boasting ironworkers in the distance, feeling a bit speechless herself, as she laid out an array map at the doorway, opening up the conversation:
"Ahem, let’s talk about something else, like the ’Jiao and the Scholar’ story worth over a thousand Golden Cores, which is popular but not profitable."
The Marriage Dress Town Master, also using a talisman brush to draw a tomb-raiding array, smiled gently and said, "There’s no choice; it’s not mass-producible. You can only experience it at the headquarters cinema."
At this moment.
No-Life Whale had already been drained of blood and revived again; he re-cut his hand, calmly continuing to draw the array map with his blood, and added:
"We need to take this step by step. First, let’s earn a reputation. We’ll start with this as a model to see the market response. The number of Golden Core stories will increase with production later."
Princess Xin’e found it quite reasonable:
"That’s true. In the future, each Golden Core will need to come with a story. Look at the development of Manor Nine Chapters AI; we don’t need every Golden Core story to be novel, just in large numbers, with every Golden Core having one!"
Currently, the commercial plan for the Golden Core is very clear.
First-Class Golden Core Stories:
The premium stories like ’Jiao and the Scholar’ which are main plotline stories can be placed in chain stores across various places as a treasure of the store for people to experience.
Second-Class Golden Core Stories:
A subordinate class of outsourced side stories.
Those celestial artists and celestial writers are responsible.
They can replicate the Path of Law they are skilled at and add Tao Rhyme to create their own stories.
We provide a Golden Core platform, and this is called contracting writers, and later these writers will also be classified by level.
For example, the likes of great god writers.
Third-Class Golden Core Stories:
A large number of mass-produced ordinary life stories, with every Golden Core having one in the future.
No-Life Whale and the others found this plan quite reasonable.
Upon reflection, the development speed of Xi Rong is no slower than back when they were in the Nine-State.
How did one of the thirteen giants of the Immortal Realm, Zhongluan Domain, end up being pulled into a batch of commercial partners?
"By the way, I heard there’s a Thousand Life Sect that wants to cooperate with us?"
"I heard too. They are said to be stronger than the Nine Chapters AI, and those cultivators can randomly create the dreams of all beings, dreaming of different lives... They can create a large number of low-quality life stories."
"No wonder it’s the Immortal Realm, having such heaven-defying cultivation techniques! Shall we cooperate with them? They are stronger than our AI Nine Chapters, and each Golden Core story can be loaded with ease."
Just then, Su Yuniang walked over, smiling:
"Why bother cooperating? Our management discussed this morning to steal the technology from them, use the Yin Yang Creation Furnace and a bit of good luck to modify it, and create our own Beautiful Dream Child, enchanting a Golden Core life with each jump in the Forging Furnace."
"Awesome!" No-Life Whale gave a thumbs up.
Su Yuniang laughed, "Not too bad, in every sense, we players are awesome too."
Nowadays, hundreds of new ironworkers join every day, and they are never short of participants to jump into the Forging Furnace.
"It’s been three hours already. Has the setup been completed?" The Medical Fairy also inquired.
"It’s done now."
The Marriage Dress Town Master promptly said: "We owe it to the purchase of semi-finished array materials, which came with detailed instructions. That’s why we succeeded."
Su Yuniang, surprised by the hands-on ability of these newbie ironworkers, didn’t think too much of it and nodded, "Then let’s begin."
She placed a sign at the exit of the mural tunnel, with an inscription written in bold:
[The tunnel is open, 100 Magic Coins per entry.]
[Treasure Lotus Lamp blessing, 100 Magic Coins per time]
...
Prices were clearly listed.
The Treasure Lotus Lamp, the manor had made a second one.
Because the Wishing Lamp’s effects were quite comprehensive, with strong logistics capabilities, whether in farming or blacksmithing, having a Treasure Lotus Lamp hung nearby proved beneficial.
"A hundred Magic Coins?"
"It’s a bit pricey."
"The Immortal Venerate’s tomb, ordinary people can’t even get in, yet it’s expensive."
Soon, the group of ironworkers, feeling the pinch, reluctantly paid up and set off.
They tiptoed through the dim mural tunnel.
Although they weren’t afraid of dying, spending money made them strive to avoid it if possible.
Upon entering the corridor, they found that the snake-like murals on both sides seemed unable to sense their presence and did not attack them.
"It works."
Shao Chaikun, walking in the tunnel, was a bit excited and whispered, "That’s an ancient space spirit root spirit beast, similar to our present-day fire, earth, water type spirit beasts... Mysterious and elusive."
"But with the current transformation of Heaven and Earth, the combat power of these space spirit beasts is less than one-tenth. Using a targeted space isolation array can effectively block them."
"Clearly, they often encountered similar tomb beasts during their tomb raiding?"
Shao Chaikun was excited, gazing at the ancient mythological murals surrounding them. It seemed to tell an ancient myth of the tomb owner’s past.
"I remember my first time participating in a tomb raiding dungeon, when I was working with the Shi Family to steal every brick off a tomb."
Shao Chaikun couldn’t help but raise his camera, continuously snapping photos.
Beside him, the Food God was also using Nine Chapters to collect big data of these indecipherable mural texts, combining the language expressions from the mural for ancient text analysis.
Truth be told, it had quite the archaeological mystery-solving vibe.
Observing the desolate, ancient prehistoric murals, they felt as if they had entered a historical time-filled space, standing amidst the ancient past.
As they walked, they found that this mural made use of some sort of advanced space-folding technique. The tunnel, appearing no longer than ten meters, should have led them to the exit on the other side.
Yet, they could never reach the end.
This was an infinitely long mural tunnel.
And as they traversed this infinite tunnel, they could see the life of this ancient great venerate, a corridor of life ascending to godhood.
Within the murals appeared fierce beastly gods, ancient gods and demons, exuding an aura of terrifying strength.
A domineering sense of oppression surfaced, as if they might leap from the mural to slaughter them at any moment.
Shao Chaikun was awestruck:
"The impact of these images is simply incredible. This prehistoric art, a funerary object, must have involved countless professional immortal craftsmen to carve it, symbolizing the essence of an era’s civilization."
