Chapter 304: The instinct of a Ministry of Works official! (Seeking subscriptions)

The reason the remnants of the previous dynasty were active in the area around Shanghe City was also because this was once the birthplace of the Yuan clan of the previous dynasty, and the tomb where the Long Di slept was buried within it.

Early in the morning, Lin Mo followed Wei Manying into the Yunluo Mountain Range.

The Yunluo Mountain Range had steep terrain, with overlapping peaks, and the depths of the dense forest were shrouded in thick fog year-round, with abundant spiritual energy.

Demonic beasts ran rampant in the mountain range, poisonous creatures were everywhere, and swamps and cliffs were intertwined; a moment of carelessness would lead to a desperate situation.

Even experienced explorers didn't dare to venture deep easily.

Lin Mo grew up in Shanghe City and was relatively familiar with the outskirts of the Yunluo Mountain Range, but the depths of the mountain range were a forbidden area he had never stepped into.

The Yunluo Mountain Range covered a vast area, stretching for thousands of miles; even though Lin Mo had lived here for over a decade, he hadn't explored even one-thousandth of it.

He and Wei Manying moved forward, the roars of demonic beasts occasionally reaching their ears, and occasionally they could see sect elders leading disciples to train in the mountain range, fighting against demonic beasts.

There were also some exploration teams being attacked by demonic beasts, their screams echoing in the valley, making one's hair stand on end.

However, Lin Mo had no mind to care about these things.

His goal today was very clear: to go to the Long Di's tomb to train, and hopefully break through his cultivation base.

If he could step into the Observing Heaven Realm, that would be a qualitative leap.

By then, what would Xiao Ming have to fight him with?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

There was no help for it; who let Lin Mo also be a heaven-gifted genius? He would also feel excited if he could defeat other geniuses.

Along the way, Lin Mo felt that this was simply like a date.

Wei Manying walked beside him, occasionally whispering softly, a faint smile on her face.

Lin Mo really wanted to show off, but unfortunately, there was still a stunningly beautiful woman acting as a "lightbulb" before him.

He knew that Wei Manying had exhausted her tongue yesterday to persuade this woman to bring him into the Long Di's tomb.

For this, Lin Mo was also very grateful to Wei Manying.

He truly liked everything about her; whether it was her personality or her appearance, it was absolutely on the points Lin Mo liked.

But at the current stage, Lin Mo also had a huge test, and that was the woman before him, Qiu Xianyu.

Qiu Xianyu's figure was graceful, her steps light; every step, even if she was just walking, felt swaying and elegant, leading to infinite reverie.

Her appearance was stunning, her temperament noble, and her every gesture carried a majesty that could not be profaned—it was precisely this feeling that made one want to conquer her and see her reveal a submissive side with one's own eyes.

Although Lin Mo was somewhat dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude in his heart, he had to admit that as a man, her existence was impossible to ignore.

"Lin Mo, follow closely; I don't have time to bring you here a second time," Qiu Xianyu said coldly, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable command.

Lin Mo nodded hurriedly and followed quickly.

He muttered to himself: If it weren't for Miss Wei, do you believe I would report you directly?

You are just a remnant of the previous dynasty; do you really think of yourself as an Imperial Consort?

Wei Manying seemed to perceive Lin Mo's mood and comforted him softly: "Lin Mo, Consort Qiu just has such a personality; don't take it too much to heart. She actually cares very much about us juniors."

Lin Mo smiled reluctantly, but he didn't think so in his heart.

He cared more about Wei Manying's attitude; seeing her so gentle and considerate, he felt a warmth in his heart, feeling that perhaps this woman had a good impression of him—otherwise, why would she be so good to him?

The three of them moved forward, passing through dense forests and crossing streams, finally arriving at a hidden valley.

The valley was shrouded in mist, and the surrounding rocks were carved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

Lin Mo felt a powerful energy fluctuation and couldn't help but tighten his heart.

"This is the entrance to the Long Di's tomb."

Qiu Xianyu stopped, turned to look at Lin Mo, her eyes cold, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Lin Mo, after entering the tomb, listen to my command in everything. If you act without authorization, bear the consequences yourself."

Lin Mo nodded; although he felt somewhat unhappy, he didn't dare to say much.

He knew that the woman before him had unfathomable strength, and he was no match for her at all.

Moreover, the tomb was this woman's territory, and his life and death were in her hands.

For the sake of gaining an opportunity and breaking through, he would just endure it.

Qiu Xianyu looked at the two of them, a flash of displeasure crossing her eyes; ordinary people weren't qualified to enter the Long Di's tomb, let alone an outsider.

Considering that Lin Mo had found the key, she didn't say much more.

Giving Lin Mo a boost in strength would allow them to obtain the last key quickly.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xianyu took out a mysterious magic treasure from her sleeve; as she injected energy into the treasure, the mist in the valley slowly dispersed, revealing a huge stone gate.

Carved on the stone gate was a coiling giant dragon, with two blood-red gemstones embedded in the dragon's eyes, emitting an eerie light.

Next, not knowing what she did, the stone gate opened with a rumble.

"Let's go," Qiu Xianyu said coldly, then stepped toward the stone gate.

Lin Mo and Wei Manying followed closely, and the three stepped into the stone gate, instantly enveloped by a powerful energy.

Lin Mo only felt his vision go black, a spatial fluctuation passed around him, and then he appeared in a huge underground palace.

The Long Di's tomb was luxuriously stunning.

The moment he stepped into the tomb, Lin Mo was so shocked by the scene before him that he couldn't speak.

The road under his feet was paved with gold bricks, each brick carved with intricate dragon patterns, shining with golden light, as if he were stepping on the body of a giant dragon.

The surrounding walls were embedded with countless jewels—rubies, sapphires, jade, agate—colorful and dazzling.

Hanging from the ceiling were fist-sized night-luminescent pearls, their soft light spilling over the entire space, as bright as day.

What was even more amazing was that as Lin Mo followed Qiu Xianyu through the tomb, he discovered that every corner of the tomb was placed with all kinds of magic tools.

Some magic tools emitted faint spiritual light, while others floated in the air, slowly rotating, maintaining the energy operation of the entire tomb.

Lin Mo could feel that the spiritual rhyme here was so rich it was almost condensing into substance; between breaths, it felt as if countless spiritual energies were pouring into his body, causing every pore on his body to stretch open.

As a Ministry of Works official, this kid subconsciously thought about how much money it must have cost to build this tomb—wouldn't it have emptied the national treasury?

To spend so much money and resources just to build a tomb for sleeping—the emperor was truly extravagant.

"This is the Long Di's tomb?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his gaze wandering everywhere, his heart shocked beyond measure.

Qiu Xianyu walked in front, her tone cold and arrogant as she said: "This is just one area of the tomb. How could a mortal like you imagine the majesty of the Long Di? Every gold brick and every gemstone here is a treasure collected by the Long Di before he slept, and as for these magic tools, they were refined by the Long Di himself to maintain the operation of the tomb."
