As Lu Yuan stepped out of the passage.

The next moment.

White lights surged forth.

The surrounding scenes constantly changed, finally settling in a vast empty plaza, carrying an ancient and weathered aura.

Bronze lamps stood at various places, already lit, very old, as if burning for a thousand years, and the ground beneath was very smooth, seemingly endless.

And looking up towards the dome.

Above, fist-sized Luminous Pearls emitted light, resembling a starry sky.

Especially the pearls on both sides were larger, comparable to a millstone, representing the sun and moon.

The dome was very high.

At least tens of thousands of meters.

If not a separate space, it would be impossible.

It truly was a Grotto Heaven.

In the far distance, rivers continuously flowed.

But inside was not ordinary water.

But mercury.

"The Records of the Grand Historian mentions using mercury to simulate hundreds of rivers, seas, and oceans, powered by mechanisms, a celestial map above, and geographical formations below. Using Mermaid Ointment as candles, ensuring long-lasting illumination, truly magnificent, no wonder it's the handiwork of the Great Dragon."

Lu Yuan recalled the records of Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, a smile appearing on his face.

Yet the key was.

Within that plaza.

Grew many Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs, emitting radiant glows.

Anyone could see that consuming them might promote self-evolution.

However, Lu Yuan remained still at that moment, speaking softly.

"This place is dangerous; everyone should exit immediately."

As his voice fell.

Behind Lu Yuan.

Dozens of Awakened Ones suddenly jumped out.

"Don't misunderstand, we merely followed you in."

The leader quickly spoke up, continuing, "Also, we only plan to pick a little, not too much."

"If I were you, I wouldn't have such thoughts." Lu Yuan shook his head, advising everyone not to entertain this idea.

The logic was simple.

To reach the final destination and obtain the greatest fortune.

Things in there, especially Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs, must not be touched.

It's said that there is sacrifice before gain.

Lu Yuan had come before, had experience, and knew how to choose.

"What do you mean, are you intending to take it all?" Some Awakened Ones thought Lu Yuan wanted all the Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs for himself, expressing indignation immediately.

But they dared not act recklessly, as in front of Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, he alone had swept away the Terracotta Soldiers.

"Actually, if you hadn't followed in, you might be safe. Unfortunately, you're inside now."

Lu Yuan looked at everyone, continuing, "With so many Bronze Gates outside the mausoleum, why choose to enter with me?"

He aimed to reach the final destination to obtain that powerful Breathing Technique; under these circumstances, he couldn't afford any mistakes, even if it meant sacrificing some lives.

"What do you mean? Are you going to kill people?"

"We haven't offended you, only sought fortune."

"You're too domineering; Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs should be shared among those present."

Everyone was startled by these words, thinking Lu Yuan might attack and kill them.

"I am not the one to strike."

Lu Yuan chuckled softly, standing still.

Boom, boom, boom~

And at that very moment, the plaza began to tremble continuously.

Waves surged heavily from the Water Galaxy, and it appeared very eerie.

More importantly, within it, shadows began to slowly emerge.

There were many, some on horseback, some wielding bows, some holding halberds, all forming an army of thousands, seemingly very similar to the Terracotta Soldiers outside, but different, as this army was not made of earth.

Their bodies were shriveled like skeletons, clad in armor, with green mist swirling at their feet.

Like the mythical Yin Soldiers emerging before everyone.

They lined up in a row, standing in the plaza, watching everyone.

This army was terrifyingly imposing.

Each one lacked the breath of the living, shrouded in heavy Yin Qi, not inferior to the Awakened who embarked on the path of evolution.

"Yin army from the Underworld? Are they Yin Soldiers? Why are there Yin Soldiers in the mausoleum?"

"Legend says the Great Dragon controlled the world in life and sought to rule the Underworld in death; could it be true?"

"How could this happen? Thousands of Yin Soldiers, each one no weaker than us; we'll die."

Upon seeing the Yin Soldiers' army, everyone panicked.

If.

The Terracotta Soldiers outside the mausoleum were insignificant, merely earth-made.

But now it was different; these indeed appeared to be a Yin army formed by the dead.

Meanwhile.

Behind the other ninety-eight Bronze Gates, within the spaces, people seeing the Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs began fighting fiercely, blood flowing endlessly, and no one was willing to yield at this moment.

They came for fortune, and now seeing it, they certainly wouldn't hesitate.

Winged Celestial God, North Emperor, Ice Fairy, Southern Emperor, Asura, etc.

These individuals were very strong.

Their strikes were fierce, with backing from their forces.

At this moment, they were seizing the Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs for evolution and expanding their power.

Wherever they were, almost everything was monopolized, and no one dared contend, only staring helplessly.

But soon, everyone began to exclaim, for here, the Yin Soldiers' army also appeared, staring directly at the intruders in the mausoleum, with almost no hesitation, choosing to attack directly.

In an instant.

A battle initially between Awakened Ones transformed into one between Yin Soldiers and Awakened Ones.
