"Excellent, another reason to kill!"
After confirming his guess, Xu Chuan nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he changed his form and his body rapidly shrunk.
At his current level, controlling the size of his body was incredibly simple.
He didn't want to crawl through a dog hole like Lin Tian.
That would be beneath him!
Xu Chuan closely followed Lin Tian.
Every move Lin Tian made was under Xu Chuan's watchful eye.
Finally, Lin Tian reached a stone door.
Here, he no longer had to crawl.
The space was enough for him to stand upright.
He walked forward and pushed the stone door.
However, the stone door was as heavy as ten thousand pounds. Even with all the strength Lin Tian could muster, he couldn't budge it.
Seeing this, Lin Tian became anxious.
"Master, this door won't open, how do we get in?"
With the opportunity for inheritance within reach, yet unable to grasp it, Lin Tian was extremely unwilling!
"What's the hurry!"
Han Feng reprimanded.
"This Emperor's tomb was built by my own hands, do you think I wouldn't know how it works?"
"What are you so anxious about?!"
Hearing this, Lin Tian quickly put away his thoughts and put on a obedient appearance.
Inside, however, he felt a sense of panic.
He had almost revealed his true intentions to Han Feng.
"I just want to quickly obtain the fortune you left me, become a martial arts expert, and then reconstruct your physical body for you, Master?"
Lin Tian defended himself after calming down.
Han Feng, in the jade pendant, sneered.
Ever since he had perceived Lin Tian's inner thoughts, he didn't believe a word Lin Tian said!
This brat was full of lies, almost as good as himself!
As the saying goes, people of the same kind flock together.
This perfectly described two souls scheming against each other!
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you how!"
Han Feng's voice rang out.
As his voice faded, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems I've gotten away with it!"
"I must be careful from now on. Before I become powerful, I must never reveal my true thoughts!"
Lin Tian secretly vowed to himself.
"What do I need to do?"
Lin Tian's expression remained unchanged as he asked again.
"Remember that crystal stone I had you retrieve from the first passage?" Han Feng asked.
Lin Tian nodded, then took out a yellowish stone from his person.
"Master, can this thing really open this door?"
Lin Tian looked at the crystal stone in his hand, his face clearly skeptical.
This unremarkable stone, no one would even pick it up if it were on the side of the road. Who would have thought it could open the door to the core of the Emperor's tomb?
"Of course!"
"Why else would I have you risk your life to get it?"
Han Feng said calmly.
This was all a contingency he had prepared before his death for his eventual resurrection.
It was in case the body he chose was that of a mortal without cultivation, so he could still safely enter his tomb.
He never expected that his contingency plans would actually come into play.
Hearing Han Feng's words, a trace of hatred appeared on Lin Tian's face.
It was all for this damned stone.
Han Feng had made him fight a monster of the first level of Qi Gathering and a group of Body Tempering monsters.
Keep in mind that he was only at the eighth level of Body Tempering.
Facing so many monsters, he had to use all his might, risking his life, to obtain this crystal stone.
He never wanted to experience that situation again!
The thought of it was terrifying!
Lin Tian blamed all of this on Han Feng.
"See the notch on the stone door? Insert the crystal stone!"
Han Feng did not offer further explanation and directly instructed Lin Tian.
After all, Lin Tian would soon be dead, so he was too lazy to waste any more words.
He felt tired!
Although Lin Tian harbored hatred towards Han Feng, he could only comply for now.
Without obtaining the fortune and becoming a strong cultivator, he could only be a subordinate for now!
He placed the crystal stone in the notch and stood far away.
The next moment.
He saw an old man suddenly appear from the jade pendant on his chest.
The old man was dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura, and his beard was long and flowing.
This person was Han Feng.
However, this was merely the appearance he had assumed to deceive Lin Tian.
Han Feng waved his hand and cast a spell.
Instantly, the crystal stone emitted a dazzling yellow light, engulfing Lin Tian.
"Master..."
Lin Tian was flustered, encountering such a situation for the first time.
"Don't panic, wait for the teleportation!"
Han Feng said with a solemn expression.
Then he moved to Lin Tian's side, also bathed in the light.
In an instant.
The two figures suddenly vanished from their spot, disappearing without a trace.
It was clear that this stone door was merely a decoy.
The true key to entering the core of the Emperor's tomb was the crystal stone and the formation engraved on the stone door.
Watching them disappear, Xu Chuan swaggered into the area.
He approached the stone door and studied the formation on it.
Xu Chuan quickly figured it out.
He then touched the now dimmed crystal stone.
Instantly, its energy became abundant, and it emitted yellow light again.
The yellow light enveloped Xu Chuan, and then, mimicking Han Feng, Xu Chuan cast a spell.
The formation was instantly activated.
Xu Chuan's figure also vanished from there.
He reappeared in another realm.
The place was extremely dim and filled with a large amount of demonic energy.
Anyone else entering here would likely be instantly corrupted by the demonic energy, transforming into deformed monsters to be controlled by it.
However, Xu Chuan was fearless.
The cultivation technique he practiced was special. Forget demonic energy, even if faced with chaotic energy, he could absorb it.
It would merely take some effort.
A hint of Solar True Fire ignited in his eyes, and his divine sense probed outwards, giving him a general understanding of the environment.
Clearly, this was a secret realm.
This Han Feng was truly an oddity.
An Emperor's tomb within an Emperor's tomb, like Russian nesting dolls!
Xu Chuan did not find Lin Tian's presence; the teleportation was likely random.
But it didn't matter. His divine sense detected a place with exceptionally dense demonic energy.
Within it, Xu Chuan saw a coffin.
He assumed this was where Han Feng's corpse lay.
If he waited there, Lin Tian would definitely come.
Han Feng, after taking over a body, would want to recover quickly and would inevitably absorb everything that was once his.
He only needed to wait for the opportunity.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qu Wushang, who was in the outer palace, was searching for something.
"Where could it be?"
He continuously searched the surroundings of the palace.
He clearly remembered that the novel had mentioned that after Lin Tian received all the opportunities, he would exit from a special passage in the main hall and leave.
What he was looking for at this moment was that passage.
"Found it!"
Finally.
After a long search, he discovered a mechanism on a pillar.
After dismissing his guards, he pressed the switch.
Whoosh!
A flash of light, and Qu Wushang's figure instantly vanished from the great hall.
