So they bypassed the mountain peak and entered the basin from the other side.

After Ye Hao brought them to the basin, he didn't rashly charge out. Instead, he had the eighth generation system observe the nearby terrain. With the eighth generation system, he could easily detect the underground situation, at least within seven hundred meters.

"Qianqian, help me check the situation underground at seven hundred meters," Ye Hao said in his mind to Qianqian.

"Okay, Master."

"Sorry, Master, it's unable to detect the situation underground at seven hundred meters," Qianqian's voice came through.

"What's going on?" Ye Hao frowned and asked.

"The eighth generation system cannot detect the environment near seven hundred meters underground, but there's a passage one hundred meters underground. This passage extends north, and there are several branches connecting southward. At the southern connection's end, detection is not possible," Qianqian's voice came through.

"Not detectable? Is it being blocked or...?"

"Based on this situation, it should be isolated by the Absolute Spirit Wall," Qianqian said a mysterious word.

"What is the Absolute Spirit Wall?" Ye Hao was even more puzzled. He had never heard of the Absolute Spirit Wall!

"It's a wall similar to the Power of Space."

"How did it come about?" Ye Hao asked.

"It's a wall refined by someone with Spiritual Power. This wall needs to be irrigated with his Spiritual Power to become a wall with Spiritual Power. Such a wall can isolate others' detection and prevent it from being destroyed. It's even stronger than adhesive materials. Its high-temperature tolerance can reach thousands of degrees, resistant to low temperatures, wear, and damage," Qianqian said.

"What are the benefits of these walls?" Ye Hao asked.

"These walls have no benefits unless you have Innate strength. Otherwise, once a brick is removed, they become useless walls."

"Innate strength? Why do they become useless walls when dismantled?" Ye Hao asked.

"Because these walls are like electronic chips, if one line in the chip is burnt, it means it's not conducting electricity. Once it stops conducting electricity, the chip becomes scrap. Of course! If you have Innate strength, you can move these walls elsewhere because you have that powerful strength. Just like a computer chip repair engineer," Qianqian used an analogy.

"Alright! So, the eighth generation system is unable to detect what's below?"

"Yes, Master."

"Then tell me where the passage extends to."

"The eighth generation system has recorded the site; you can follow the system's marking to the extension," Qianqian said.

"Okay, show me the route," Ye Hao said.

Soon, the eighth generation system marked the route, and Ye Hao, leading Zheng Guang and others, quickly headed toward the extension at the passage entrance.

When they reached the northern edge of the basin, Lv Dong said, "Boss, we might be beyond the mausoleum's range."

"I think so too. If it's really that vast, how big would Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum have to be?" Xue Zhaolong said.

Ye Hao shook his head without explaining and followed the eighth generation system's marking toward the mid-mountain waist.

Ye Hao led them uphill, and they were stunned, each silently wondering what Ye Hao was up to.

Ye Hao couldn't explain because they were nearing the end marked by the eighth generation system.

Ye Hao led the group up a mountain over a hundred meters high, then smiled contentedly and said, "Here it is."

Zheng Guang asked, "Young Master, what do you mean?"

"Boss, Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum couldn't possibly be built in such a high place, could it?" Xue Zhaolong asked.

Everyone nodded, having understood past emperors' burials; generally, those emperors built their mausoleums underground before they died, not on mountains.

This was because they feared changes in the times might cause the mountains to shrink and expose their mausoleums.

"This isn't the mausoleum, but it's the entrance," Ye Hao smiled and said.

"What entrance?" The group looked at Ye Hao, puzzled.

"The entrance to Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum is right here," Ye Hao smiled with a hint of mystery.

"Boss, are you sure?" Lv Dong questioned in disbelief.

"Let's try! Dig ten meters in from here; there might be a passage inside," Ye Hao suggested.

He then took out a hoe, shovel, and various tools from his space.

The two Innate experts, having no choice, acted as laborers. Similarly, Tao Feng and Yang Ya quickly shoveled the earth out.

With these four experts helping, they dug over ten meters in just ten minutes.

At this moment, when Zheng Guang was about to forcefully break through the layer of soil at the edge of the passage, Ye Hao stopped him, "Elder Zheng, hold on."

Zheng Guang paused his work and turned back to ask, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

"The passage is inside. Come out, all of you," Ye Hao instructed.

Hearing Ye Hao, they all came out, and Ye Hao, confirming nobody was inside, threw a small grenade in.

Three seconds later, a boom sounded.

The soil inside was blasted open, releasing a suffocating gas.

The passage had been sealed for too long, causing it to contain some moldy, foul odors.

These gases were toxic; inhaling too much could affect the body.

Zheng Guang and others turned their faces away from the moldy, foul odor emerging from the hole.

After a while, when the smell dissipated, Ye Hao smiled, "It seems the passage is indeed inside."

"Boss, you're incredible! We never thought you'd guess there was a passage here," Lu Yunsong and others were thoroughly impressed with Ye Hao, even Lv Dong deeply felt Ye Hao's brilliance.

Tao Feng and Yang Ya also glanced in surprise at Ye Hao, unable to believe their young boss was so capable.

"Alright, it's getting late, and it's uncertain what awaits inside. Let's try to enter the mausoleum ahead of others," Ye Hao, hearing their compliments, modestly nodded without getting carried away.

"He Hua, you, Yang Ya, and Dong stay outside on watch. Inform us immediately if anything happens," Ye Hao handed a communication device to He Hua.

Although He Hua wanted to go inside, he wouldn't disobey Ye Hao's order. Since Zheng Guang was with Ye Hao, He Hua felt reassured and took the device without objection.

"Boss, stay safe. Elder Zheng, take care of the boss," He Hua, always respectful to Ye Hao, even though Zheng Guang was Ye Hao's butler, wished Zheng Guang would carefully ensure Ye Hao's safety.

"Rest assured! I'm here," Zheng Guang nodded.

Ye Hao smiled with satisfaction and entered the passage first. With the eighth generation system, any emergencies would be forewarned by the system. (To be continued.
