Ye Hao, upon hearing this, also carefully examined the entire wall, hoping to find the mechanism to open it sooner...
Tao Feng and the others stepped forward to touch it with their hands, looking for any mechanisms.
Zheng Guang still followed closely beside Ye Hao, lest any sudden mechanism injure him.
Xue Zhaolong, however, was looking at the middle-aged man with a knife on the left side. He didn't know why, but the more he looked, the more excited he felt.
Though Zhuorong Town appeared calm on the outside, his gaze occasionally drifted to the stern middle-aged man behind the Emperor. Even though this man looked quite like the knife-wielding man on the left, it didn't affect his preference for the stern figure behind the Emperor's likeness.
Lu Yunsong looked at the middle-aged man on the right side of the Emperor's likeness. Although this man had a lot of stubble, it didn't detract from his imposing and handsome appearance.
Ye Hao looked repeatedly, but this wall seemed completely sealed, without the slightest gap.
Moreover, this wall was somewhat different from the walls of Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum above. It had a slight reddish hue, occasionally radiating a faint glow that was not noticeable unless looked at carefully.
"Boss, there's nothing here! The walls of this passage are about two meters high altogether, but this wall seems completely sealed." Flying Fish felt around but couldn't find anything.
Just then, a sentence suddenly appeared in Ye Hao's mind.
"The Emperor's Great Enterprise..."
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Hao immediately began circulating his Inner Breath to protect himself.
Zheng Guang and others saw Ye Hao suddenly circulating his Inner Breath for no reason and hurriedly guarded the surroundings, fearing an unknown entity might attack.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Zheng Guang asked anxiously, coming to Ye Hao's side.
Ye Hao frowned, and after a long pause, he said, "I seem to hear a voice echoing in my mind."
"No way? Boss, did you hear it too?" Xue Zhaolong quickly asked.
"Heard what?" Zhuorong Town inquired.
"It seemed to say something about the Emperor's great enterprise. The voice was very old and seemed weak." Ye Hao explained.
"Could it be..." Lu Yunsong pondered, frowning privately.
"What's up, Song?" Ye Hao asked Lu Yunsong.
"Boss, I think this voice might be the people above the Absolute Spirit Wall summoning us," Lu Yunsong suggested.
"It's possible, but why didn't they summon me directly from the start? Why wait until I'm here?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
"Hey! Things are getting more and more complicated!" Zheng Guang said with a sigh.
"So what do we do now? And is there any connection between this talk of the Emperor's great enterprise and the voices summoning us?" Xue Zhaolong asked.
"I don't know. The only way is to open this gate and find all the answers inside." Ye Hao replied helplessly.
"The problem is how to open it, Boss? Could you come up with a way?" Xue Zhaolong asked.
"Let's all try to think of something!" Ye Hao looked at the four images on the Absolute Spirit Wall and then around the wall's surroundings.
Everyone paused, carefully thinking about how to open this Absolute Spirit Wall.
After a long time, Ye Hao felt helpless and had to resort to brute force.
"It seems that easily opening this gate isn't going to be easy! How about we all put our strength together and see if we can break through this wall?" Ye Hao suggested.
"We have no other option." Zheng Guang nodded in agreement.
Zhuorong Town and the others nodded as well.
So, Ye Hao instructed everyone to circulate their entire Inner Breath, then focus it on their legs.
"Three..." Ye Hao shouted loudly.
"Two, one..." After Ye Hao finished counting, the group kicked the Absolute Spirit Wall hard with their feet.
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed as seven figures were sent flying backward in unison.
"Spurt!"
Xue Zhaolong and three others spewed a large amount of blood from their mouths, their faces instantly turning pale.
Ye Hao didn't have it easy either, the counterforce was too strong. Just as their feet landed on the Absolute Spirit Wall, it bounced them back.
Flying Fish and Tao Feng felt a little better, while Zheng Guang was the most at ease. Though he was also knocked back, he didn't feel much.
"Young Master, Long, are you okay?" Zheng Guang went up to help Xue Zhaolong's group and Ye Hao.
Ye Hao waved him off and moved to Xue Zhaolong, then infused him with a stream of Inner Breath. Ye Hao's Inner Breath was easily transferrable to others because he had an eighth-generation system assisting him. Otherwise, with others, or if the Inner Breath didn't share the same origin, it would lead to incompatibility, possibly resulting in adverse reactions.
With Ye Hao's Inner Breath infused into Xue Zhaolong's body, he felt slightly better.
Ye Hao then infused Lu Yunsong and another person with Inner Breath.
As they received Ye Hao's Inner Breath, they sighed in relief.
"Boss, I think this wall might be set to prevent anyone from opening it, hence the counterforce. If anyone tries to open it forcefully, the force will rebound on them. We are weaker, you are stronger, that's why we encountered counterforce. Look at Elder Zheng, he wasn't affected." Xue Zhaolong said, feeling a bit better.
"I think you're right, but why does this wall still possess spiritual power after all these years?" Ye Hao asked, frowning.
"Young Master, it's hard to explain! There are so many things in this world that defy logic, let alone being from the Warring States Period." Zheng Guang added.
"That's true. Elder Zheng, try using half of your strength this time, and see if there's still a counterforce. If there is, it might really be that the Absolute Spirit Wall is set to reflect the amount of force exerted." Ye Hao suggested.
Zheng Guang nodded, applying half of his strength as he kicked out.
When Zheng Guang's foot touched the wall, there was a bang, and it seemed as though he too was met with a powerful counterattack, forcing him to use all his strength to block the force.
Seeing this, Zheng Guang said with lingering fear, "Young Master, it really seems the stronger the force, the stronger the counterforce! Fortunately, with Feng, Flying Fish, and you helping to withstand my full strength earlier, otherwise Zhen and the others would be in grave danger."
Ye Hao felt a bit terrified at his words.
Zhuorong Town and the others were even more shocked.
After a moment of silence, Xue Zhaolong asked, "Boss, seems like we can only watch helplessly; we have no way to get inside."
Zheng Guang frowned and then suggested, "Young Master, why not try using the Jade Seal of the Great Ming Dynasty? If the Jade Seal is indeed an artifact handed down from the Warring States or Spring and Autumn Period, it might give us some clue, especially since Zhu Yuanzhang chose this place over others for burial."
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao slapped his thigh, realizing they had forgotten about the Jade Seal! (To be continued.
