However, in the end, no place could be found in the Kunlun Mountains that could be the burial place of the Emperor.
In fact, the entire Kunlun Mountains are more like a decoy, a cover for the Emperor to conceal his true burial place.
"It's confirmed. There's no burial ground in the Kunlun Mountains. Perhaps we can only look for it in Mount Tai," the old Golden Crow said in a deep voice.
The Qilin Emperor said, "There is another possibility: perhaps the Emperor deceived everyone back then, even the Carefree Heavenly Venerable was fooled."
Wanlong Emperor said, "It's not impossible. The Emperor's strength is boundless. Although the Carefree Heavenly Venerable is very strong and can do things that the Longevity Heavenly Venerable cannot, the Emperor's strength is obviously a notch above. Perhaps he is on guard."
Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes slightly opening and closing.
"There is truth within falsehood, and falsehood within truth. The Emperor's burial site is most likely on Earth. He can hide some of the minor actions of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, but he cannot hide everything."
Emperor Xuanwu said, "Let's decide what to do next after we finish searching Mount Tai!"
Qin Feng remained silent.
He has been searching very carefully for the past few decades.
After confirming that Kunlun Mountain was not a possibility, a divine sense reached the heavens and the earth, instantly enveloping the entire Kunlun Mountain.
He was somewhat unwilling to leave like this.
Under his terrifying divine sense, he observed every blade of grass and every tree in Kunlun Mountain once again, leaving no place unexplored as to where a small world might be hidden.
After several days, Qin Feng completed the search once again.
Ultimately, it ended without any resolution.
"It seems we're not in the Kunlun Mountains."
Qin Feng sighed, "Next, we can only go to Mount Tai to continue our investigation."
Having said that, Qin Feng took a step forward and appeared on Mount Tai in the next moment, looking down at Mount Tai below, as well as at the current cultivation sects that were rooted around Mount Tai.
Unfortunately, the people from the sects below were too weak to detect Qin Feng's presence.
Soon, Old Golden Crow and the others followed, standing atop the dome and looking down below.
"I vaguely remember seeing how majestic Mount Tai was when I looked back over the years. It was eventually broken by that Desolate Heavenly Emperor and became what it is today."
Emperor Xuanwu sighed, "That era is hundreds of millions of years away from our time!"
The Qilin Emperor nodded slightly: "I also traced back here back then and saw that being, but unfortunately I couldn't see it clearly."
Emperor Wanlong remained silent, simply observing.
In just a short while, he was able to see everything about Mount Tai clearly.
"This Mount Tai is not as vast and boundless as Mount Kunlun, and this place probably doesn't seem like a suitable burial ground."
Emperor Wanlong said, "Unless the Emperor opens up the burial ground under Mount Tai, or in the Earth's core world, and ultimately there is only a small world."
Qin Feng pondered for a moment: "It's very likely. The Emperor came from Earth and has many backup plans there. Perhaps we can search carefully at Mount Tai."
"Moreover, people have always compared him to the Desolate Heaven Emperor. When mentioning young prodigies, they always say that he has the appearance of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the Emperor Venerable. Perhaps the Emperor Venerable is also engaged in some kind of competition."
"In that case, let's see if there is a burial place for an emperor beneath Mount Tai."
The words fall.
Qin Feng descended from the dome.
The rocks did not crack or break, but he still entered Mount Tai.
The Jade Emperor Peak still exists today, but it is not as magnificent as it would be after being improved by technology millions of years later.
But the Jade Emperor Peak doesn't need such embellishment at all.
Inside Mount Tai.
It was dark all around.
This is a small world of its own.
The misty aura is enough to sustain cultivators' practice even in the Dharma-ending Age.
Unfortunately, almost no one can enter this inner world unless they have an extraordinary ability to achieve enlightenment.
Those who have truly attained the state of alternative enlightenment have no need to come to such a small world to cultivate.
In the vast universe, there are many more places suitable for spiritual practice, so it is natural to choose to go to the wider sky.
The old Golden Crow was quite savvy; upon entering this small world, it immediately ignited a wisp of its primordial imperial fire.
The imperial fire was scorching hot, and its intense light illuminated this small world.
Originally, this small world appeared very dark, even deathly still, but the old Golden Crow lifted it up with one hand.
The next moment, this wisp of primordial imperial fire transformed into a small sun and flew high in the sky above the small world.
The small world brightened up, and at first glance, it appeared to be a desolate wasteland.
In some ways, it bears a resemblance to the underworld.
"How did you find this place?" Old Golden Crow looked around, full of doubt.
According to the original plan, after arriving at Mount Tai, we should have carefully searched every corner, just like we had done in the Kunlun Mountains over the past few decades.
However, upon arriving at Mount Tai, Qin Feng unexpectedly found this small world directly.
Everything seemed very smooth and natural, as if it were done deliberately, but it lacked some logic.
Qin Feng frowned: "I have a feeling that this small world is not quite normal. Be careful."
Qin Feng didn't offer any further explanation.
Similarly, he did not deliberately deceive Lao Jinwu and the others.
Just now, while I was standing atop Mount Tai, I felt a profound sense of mystery.
Thus, he discovered this small world, just as he had previously analyzed, the subterranean world beneath Mount Tai.
In reality, this place is not at the Earth's core; it is a small world hidden inside Mount Tai, which was created by a powerful being using mystical techniques.
Old Jinwu and the others understood immediately, and without asking any further questions, they each looked around warily.
It's as sinister as the underworld; heaven knows what might happen in this place.
However, there is one point that some people have already tacitly accepted.
This land of the underworld must have a deep connection with the Emperor.
Back then, the Emperor and the Underworld Emperor had a period of interaction, and the Underworld Emperor was the founder of the Underworld.
Given the current state of this small world, they couldn't help but suspect that the Emperor had moved some Netherworld soil from the Underworld and ultimately placed it in this small world.
Looking back over the years, it seems that only the Emperor has the ability to easily take what he needs from the underworld.
'Waaaaaa—'
Suddenly, the cawing of crows rang out.
Qin Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw the rotting carcass of a crow, still retaining some shape and some of its habits from its time in life.
Soon, more crow carcasses fluttered their wings from the depths of this small world.
Its wings had become bone wings, but it still flapped them very forcefully.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if the creature had not died, adding a touch of terror to this small world.
Qin Feng released his divine sense and headed into the distance.
In just a moment, he had a clear understanding of this place.
“That’s interesting. The Netherworld land transported from the Underworld is vast; it could be called a second Underworld.”
Qin Feng said softly, "However, while everything here is a replica of the Underworld, it lacks some of its essence. Moreover, in the deepest part, there are methods that are no less powerful than mine."
After saying that, Qin Feng headed towards the deepest part of his perception.
Before long, Qin Feng arrived at a large tomb, which was thousands of miles long and wide. The raven spirits flying around this small world all came from this large tomb.
In the very center of the tomb, there is a large hole from which thick death energy gushes out.
"Could this be the burial ground of the Emperor?"
The Qilin Emperor's eyes burned fiercely: "With such a dense aura of death, there must be beings of our level buried within it."
"Could it be that after the Emperor disappeared back then, he was hiding in this place throughout the entire Primordial Era, like the Undying Emperor, repeatedly defying the laws of nature?"
Qin Feng observed carefully.
A single hand brushes past in front of my eyes.
Two dazzling beams of divine light looked towards the depths of this great tomb.
Then, the divine light fell into the gaping hole, where the death energy had become substantial, making it difficult for even his strength to penetrate.
"The Emperor's body is buried here, and there is a high possibility that he could be resurrected here. There is a power here that surpasses mine."
Qin Feng pondered and said, "In the past, we only guessed that the Emperor might have gone to a strange world and was just looking down on the human world, but now it seems that this is not the case."
"At our level, we can all understand the drawbacks of the strange world. Unless we are absolutely forced to, we will not easily enter the strange world."
"Now it seems that the Emperor should be the same."
After speaking, Qin Feng took the initiative to walk towards the large tomb.
In just two or three steps, they arrived at the entrance of the cave where deathly energy was gushing out.
Old Golden Crow and his companions followed closely behind, arriving at this place. Sensing the dense aura of death, each of them felt somewhat uneasy.
Apart from the old Golden Crow, the lifespans of the Xuanwu Emperor and the others were only about two thousand years, which could be considered the end of their lives.
At this moment, disturbed by this deathly aura, I feel as if I am about to be assimilated, and my lifespan is about to be forcibly taken away.
But soon, a layer of dark light burst forth from each of their bodies.
In the past, when I took the Nine-Turn Corpse Pill, it contained a lot of death energy and also contained the incomplete parts of an immortal corpse.
With each other offsetting each other, their respective situations are much better.
"It's a good burial site, but you can only find out by going inside. External methods have hindered my investigation."
Qin Feng stepped inside.
Without using any external force, just like an ordinary person.
