In the Earthly List, Yang Yan swept through all the geniuses in it.
"There should be no one left!" His brow shined as he looked at the empty, deserted Earthly List.
His divine sense spread out, making everything within ten thousand meters visible in an instant.
*"Unless there's a genius who cultivated the Space Dao and could blend into the void,"* Yang Yan thought.
"Since that's the case, I'll check once more!"
He wanted a clean sweep, leaving no one alive.
He wanted every sect force from the first day to know that hunting him meant a dead end.
At the same time, he employed his understanding of the Space Dao, which had also reached the Entering Dao Realm.
Using this level of Space Dao against cultivators in the Immortal Realm was almost equally crushing.
*"Those who don't understand the Space Dao as deeply as I do can't escape my search."*
Yang Yan started from the edge of the Earthly List and moved deeper in.
He meticulously searched every place, leaving nothing out.
"Hm?"
Roar!
Below came the sound of a roar, which Yang Yan recognized as the sound of a barbaric beast.
The Earthly List contained many barbaric beasts, large in size and formidable in strength.
They were stronger than martial artists in the Immortal Realm.
But encountering Yang Yan was unlucky for the beasts.
With a single finger, he crushed and killed them.
He released a giant corpse to devour the beasts, strengthening itself.
The stronger it became, the more Yang Yan could benefit.
After the beasts were eaten, Yang Yan continued forward.
Space fluctuations caused his eyes to narrow slightly.
Unleashing the Space Dao, he tore open the area of fluctuating space.
Before his eyes appeared a hidden Secret Realm within the space!
"It was left by a Saint!"
Yang Yan left the giant corpse to guard the entrance as he stepped inside.
He knew it was a Saint's legacy because, at the entrance of this Secret Realm, there was a stone tablet inscribed with a name.
It had five large characters carved on it!
"Left by the Ten Thousand Seas Great Saint!"
Beside it, many small letters narrated how the Ten Thousand Seas Great Saint entered the Earthly List and why.
Yang Yan glanced over them, knowing that in his twilight years, the Great Saint couldn't break through to the Saint King Realm, nor did he have any disciples or children.
After death, he worried about grave robbers refining his cultivation and Great Saint Physique into a puppet.
He wanted to merge into the Dao, but feared the suffering it involved.
So, he sought a quiet, hidden place where no one could find him to bury himself.
At that time, the Earthly List appeared, attracting him.
The Earthly List was a place only cultivators in the Immortal Realm could enter, forming a world of its own.
He thought how could Immortal Realm cultivators find his tomb.
So he hid himself, disguising as an Immortal Realm cultivator.
Using a secret Space Dao technique, he concealed his presence in the Earthly List and snuck in.
But after entering, the Earthly List became a world of its own, rendering all his concealment and disguise useless.
He was suppressed by the power within the Earthly List, nearly dying,
Ultimately, with a broken body, he used his last strength to tear open the space and entomb himself there.
Before his death, he left behind a lifetime's wealth.
In the center, stood the formidable Great Saint Physique.
After reading, Yang Yan destroyed it with a palm strike.
"Your Great Saint Physique is mine now."
In one stride, he ignored the Saintly Might emanating from the Great Saint Physique.
His hand grasped the Ten Thousand Seas Great Saint's Saint Physique, devouring it.
As for the burial items left by the Ten Thousand Seas Great Saint and his life's savings, Yang Yan cordially accepted them all, leaving nothing behind.
Afterward, he tore through space and returned to the Earthly List.
Then he continued expanding his divine sense and utilizing the Space Dao to search for missed geniuses.
When encountering barbaric beasts, he killed them at will.
Upon finding treasures, he collected them all.
If he found Spirit Grass or Spirit Fruit, he ate them in one bite.
Thus, he swept through half of the Earthly List, advancing his cultivation to the perfect early-stage Immortal Realm.
*"Just a little more, and I can break through!"*
At this thought, Yang Yan suddenly felt a fluctuation in his divine sense.
His gaze turned to a great mountain.
This mountain obstructed his divine sense probing.
And faintly emitted a heart-palpitating force from within.
A typical Immortal Realm cultivator likely would have fled in terror.
Not Yang Yan, as he felt there might be a great treasure inside!
*"Otherwise, it couldn't block my divine sense probing nor emit such a threatening presence."*
"Open the mountain!"
Within Yang Yan, the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique operated, and he stomped forcefully onto the void.
Rumble!
The sky changed color, and the mountains and rivers shifted.
The great mountain before him trembled, shaking continuously.
"What's inside must be an extraordinary treasure.
Otherwise, it couldn't have stopped my execution of Mountain and Sea Migration!"
This was a secret Daoist technique, recorded within the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique.
Using the power of heaven and earth's feng shui to alter mountains and scenery.
Yet after executing it, Yang Yan wasn't able to move the mountain.
This proved there was something inside holding it down.
"Tear it apart!" Yang Yan gently shouted.
He chose to shatter the mountain to see what lay within.
Many heavy cracks appeared on the mountain's surface, and then it fractured continuously.
The stone facade collapsed, revealing what was inside.
It was a Bronze Giant Gate!
On the gate were countless engraved auspicious Divine Beasts, incredibly lifelike, almost as if alive.
*"This gate looks familiar!"* Yang Yan furrowed his brow slightly.
He had also seen such a portal in the Human List.
The portal was also hidden within a mountain.
Upon opening, inside lay the ruins of the Daqin Immortal Kingdom!
*"Could it be the same in the Earthly List?"* Yang Yan felt slightly surprised.
There were widespread legends that Emperor Shi, who founded the Daqin Immortal Kingdom, received part of the legacy of the Immortal Dao Emperor.
This led to the creation of the Daqin Immortal Kingdom, aiming for global immortal ascension.
But it was rumored that he failed in the end and disappeared entirely.
Now, the ruins of the Daqin Immortal Kingdom had appeared in the Human List, and seemingly in the Earthly List as well.
*"That shouldn't be possible!"* Yang Yan thought to himself.
With the reveal of the Bronze Giant Gate, the engraved auspicious Divine Beasts on it began to appear very much alive, just as if real.
Rumble!
The Bronze Giant Gate rumbled as it slowly opened inward.
Creak!
An opening appeared in the gate, allowing Yang Yan to witness the scene inside.
It was an exceedingly vast barren plain, devoid of any vegetation.
Desolate and bleak.
Yang Yan left the giant corpse at the entrance and stepped inside himself.
The ground held nothing—just a flat expanse.
*"Is it underground?"*
The surface revealed nothing; it had to be either in the sky or underground.
The sky was clear, obviously bereft of anything.
Thus, Yang Yan surmised that something might be underground.
*"I wonder what it is!"* Yang Yan stamped his foot.
Cracks spread across the ground, extending thousands and then ten thousand meters away.
The earth rippled continuously until it reached places Yang Yan could not see.
Thump, thump, thump!
Sounds came from below, and through the cracks, Yang Yan saw countless stone statues.
Due to the ground's collapse, some toppled over but didn't break apart.
Instead, they displayed some strange brilliance.
*"Imperial mausoleum accompaniments?"* Yang Yan's eyes deepened.
His figure moved, searching for the central position.
Suddenly, he halted abruptly, his body entering a massive fissure.
Beneath the fissure lay an underground palace.
Within the underground palace was a structure resembling a hall.
At the entrance to the hall stood a stone tablet inscribed with eight large characters: Daqin Emperor's Mausoleum, No Living Person Shall Enter!
