At this moment, a voice in the Huaxia language sounded, leaving Chen Lan slightly stunned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Turning around, he saw a woman, her clothes tattered, appearing as if she hadn't bathed in over ten days, her face dirty, and her hair matted with a lot of grime.

"Are you from Huaxia?" the woman asked excitedly. She had just heard the conversation between Chen Lan and the Tao Tian Demon Venerable in the familiar Huaxia language, which explained her excitement.

"Yes." Chen Lan admitted.

"That's great, can you help me?" the woman pleaded.

"No time." Chen Lan frowned.

"I beg you, please help me, save my child, please!" Suddenly, the woman fell to her knees, continually kowtowing to Chen Lan.

She could tell that these two were definitely not ordinary people, judging by their mysterious and elusive presence.

Seeing this, Chen Lan frowned and spoke in a deep voice: "I'll help you, but not now."

"Okay, thank you, good people will be rewarded, thank you." Hearing this, the woman quickly got up, smiling with joy.

Chen Lan withdrew his gaze and looked toward a large mountain not far away, a wooden house leaning against it.

With a wave of his hand, the wooden house shifted position instantly, a miraculous scene that shocked everyone present.

What is this miracle!

Chen Lan walked forward step by step, inspecting the mountain in front of him, and spoke lightly: "Is the cave mansion inside this mountain?"

"It should be, the markings I left behind have not disappeared. Although the mountain range doesn't look exactly like it did back then, I can confirm, this is the same mountain from those years."

"Hmm, then let's begin." Chen Lan nodded.

"Alright." Tao Tian Demon Venerable nodded heavily and began to chant incantations towards the mountain.

As he recited the spell, the earth suddenly quaked violently.

Everyone was terrified and quickly grabbed onto anything nearby for stability, or crouched down, shouting in panic.

With a rumbling sound, the mountain slowly cracked open until it fully split to reveal a massive Bronze Stone Gate, then stopped.

Seeing the revealed Bronze Stone Gate, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What is this, a miracle?"

"Is that the gate to paradise?"

"What is with these two Huaxia people?!"

Seeing the grand spectacle Chen Lan and his companion created as soon as they arrived, the people of the Buddha Country were at a loss, unsure of what lay behind the Bronze Stone Gate.

Could it be a gate releasing some demon?!

Chen Lan walked slowly to the front, reaching out to touch the Bronze Stone Gate: "The material feels fragile, but I can sense the presence of an array, no wonder you couldn't open it back then."

He felt the presence of an array within the Bronze Stone Gate, likely set by the owner within, meant to prevent others from stealing his tomb.

It seems there really are treasures inside.

Otherwise, such a strong defensive array wouldn't have been set up to protect them.

"So, do you have a way to unlock it?" Tao Tian Demon Venerable asked, frowning.

"One punch will do." Chen Lan chuckled lightly, the array had aged, weathered by time, and weakened significantly, no need to break it down technically.

He concentrated the power of the road of strength and unleashed a punch.

Bang!

A crisp sound echoed from behind the Bronze Stone Gate, the array shattered.

Rumble!

The next second, the Bronze Stone Gate opened in response, revealing a dark passageway, devoid of any monsters or light.

At the same time, a towering beam of light shot up into the sky, incredibly blinding.

The nearby people from the Buddha Country wanted to get closer to watch, but with a cold shout from Tao Tian Demon Venerable, they were instantly thrown back.

Chen Lan, hesitating no longer, stepped inside and casually set up an array to prevent anyone else from intruding.

As Chen Lan and Tao Tian Demon Venerable entered, the Bronze Stone Gate slowly closed.

Immediately, the people from the Buddha Country realized there must be treasures behind the door!

One by one, they became restless, rushing in to try to enter, but before they could touch the Stone Gate, they were bounced back by the array set by Chen Lan, falling face down.

Not only that, but people throughout the Buddha Country saw the light beam in the sky!

"What is that, our country has another treasure appearing, hurry and get it!"

"Another treasure materialized?"

"Don't miss your chance, I'm going first."

"Damn it, the treasure is mine!"

In an instant, all the strong individuals in the Buddha Country rushed toward that beam of light, each believing a Supreme Treasure had emerged there.

...

Behind the Bronze Stone Gate.

Chen Lan led Tao Tian Demon Venerable step by step, observing their surroundings.

He was now in a dark passage, but above it hung burnt-out torches.

Snap.

Chen Lan snapped his fingers lightly, and the passage was immediately filled with light.

Before long, he reached the end, faced with another Bronze Stone Gate several meters tall and wide, but this time he didn't need to do anything.

The Stone Gate slowly opened.

When it opened, everything inside came into view.

It was a place resembling an underground palace, with a long staircase leading upward, and the walls around it covered with paintings of various strange Gods and Demons as well as Demon Beasts.

At the very bottom of the staircase stood eight stone statues, all different shapes of Demon Beasts, including one resembling a dragon and another like a tiger.

And at the top, Chen Lan saw a cross-legged, long-dried corpse, resembling a human body.

It should be the owner of this cave mansion.

Chen Lan took a step forward, and suddenly the entire cave mansion trembled violently!

Countless rocks fell from above, crashing to the ground, and it continued for more than ten seconds before stopping.

[I am Emperor Luo Tianlong, those who trespass in the cave mansion, state your name!]

Suddenly, a massive Soul Body flew out from that corpse, in the form of an old man, kind yet dignified, with an aura of the Celestial Emperor realm, staring straight at Chen Lan, as if wanting to see through him!

"Not dead yet?" Chen Lan was momentarily stunned and then spoke calmly: "Chen Lan."

"So young, the strange thing is, why can't I see through your realm?" Emperor Luo Tianlong questioned, looking at Chen Lan in bewilderment.

He could see through the realm of the Tao Tian Demon Venerable next to him, but not Chen Lan's.

Truly strange.

But he could tell that Chen Lan's appearance had not been altered and was genuine, with no signs of rejuvenation, indicating he should only be in his twenties.

"You have none of my descendants' blood, how did you come in?" Emperor Luo Tianlong was even more perplexed.

The array he set required the blood of his descendants to enter, or someone stronger than him forced their way through.

One look at this Chen Lan and you could tell his realm was too low, how had he come in.

The fellow next to him was even less likely, not even a Celestial Emperor, nor his descendant.

"Broke it with one punch."
