Chapter 283 Exhaustion of aura in the Age of Doom

  This irregular cave, with a nearly semicircular top, is inlaid with night pearls, like stars in the sky.

  The bottom of this cave is shrouded in mist. At the bottom, which cannot be seen at a glance, there is a stone step leading down, and a palace is faintly visible in the mist.

  Wang An kept going down the stone steps, and he heard the sound of rushing water. Is there a river in this cave?

   All the way down, the stairs are not straight, but a small bend after walking for a certain distance, and it takes a long time to reach the bottom. Wang An roughly estimated that there is at least a vertical distance of more than 300 meters from the top, which is almost the height of a skyscraper.

  When he reached the bottom of the stone steps, he saw a small stream with clear water. Following the stream upwards, there was an avenue paved with bluestones, and stone pillars were faintly visible on both sides.

  The straight avenue continued to extend forward, surrounded by fog, and the visibility was very low, but the distance was only five or six meters. As he continued to move forward, Wang An found that the underground space was much larger than he imagined.

  The cave appears to be in the shape of an upside-down bowl.

   Walking along the bluestone-paved street, suddenly two stone statues stopped in front of you. Shaped like a lion and tiger, with scales on its body. Wang An looked at the two stone statues, they looked like Pixiu.

  Further forward, there is a stone step that goes straight up. Going up the stone steps, Wang An came to a palace, which was quite tall, with two closed bronze gates, and two stone statues of a dragon and a phoenix on the left and right.

  Wang An stood in front of the bronze gate, raised his hand and tried it, but the bronze gate remained motionless.

  Hissing, Wang An took a slight breath, breathed out with strength, his true energy flowed, and he slapped King Kong with a slap. With a bang, a loud noise, and a creak, he forcefully slapped the bronze door open a gap. There was light emanating from the inside of the palace.

  Wang An stood outside and looked in, then entered the palace. There is a night pearl hanging on the dome in the palace, like a nebula.

   There are twelve pillars on both sides of the palace avenue, all of which are bronze pillars, and at the end is a golden coffin. Wang An walked to the side of the coffin.

  This coffin is engraved with complicated patterns, which seems to be some kind of talisman. It is inlaid with crystal stones on all four sides. It is not big, only the size of an egg, and its appearance is completely different from the one on the outer stone wall. This crystal stone is milky white, a bit like suet white jade. The energy emanating from it is also milder.

  Wang An did not open the golden coffin, but walked aside, looking at the colorful paintings on the wall next to the coffin.

  There is a city drawn on it, a city floating above the sky, emitting golden light, and there are people floating like immortals standing on the clouds.

   This picture reminded him of the ancient painting found in the ancient ruins under the crack in the Beiyi Mountain, which also showed a city floating above the sky.

   "Could it be that this person has reached that city?"

  Wang An looked at the mural. Outside Burying Fairy Valley, the person in charge of the base has already reported the situation here to the top.

   Special researchers sealed up the monster's body and took it away.

   "He came back after leaving, holding a strange stone in his hand. It is likely to be the sacred stone. It may be the sacred stone taken from the ancient ruins deep in the Burial Valley or the Beiyi Mountain. Why did he go in again?"

   "Is it possible that it was taken from the ancient ruins of Burying Immortal Valley, and it was sent back when it was deemed unnecessary?"

   "If it were you, would you send it back?"

   "Well, I will send it."

   "Your eyelids are jumping so fast, you are lying! How can you send back the gold you got?!"

   "But he is not an ordinary person after all, maybe his thinking is different from ours?"

   "Stop making noise. Have you noticed that he can actually hold the sacred stone with his hands? Ordinary people, not to mention holding it with their hands, can't stand the energy radiation emitted by the sacred stone even if they get close to it? His body is already so strong that it is beyond imagination!"

   "There are some questions waiting for him to come out and ask. Now we need to find out what that monster is, and what is in the ancient ruins deep in the Burial Valley."

  Among the historic sites in the depths of Burial Valley, Wang An has finished reading the murals around, and found some ancient objects around, such as ancient swords, ancient paintings, ancient books, etc.

  Wang An picked it up and looked it over, selected a few that he thought might be useful to him, and then turned and left the palace. As for what was in the golden coffin, was it the same as the three coffins outside, and there were still living monsters inside? He didn't open the coffin to verify.

  After leaving the Immortal Burial Valley, he used his true energy to clean himself up, and then found the person in charge of the base.

   "Hello, what can I do?" The person in charge of the base had his heart pounding in his throat at this moment, and he didn't know why Wang An wanted to see him suddenly.

   "Just stand there. I may still be carrying germs on my body. I have already seen the ancient monuments in the Burial Valley. There are two ancient monuments inside, one outside and one inside. There are four coffins inside, three of which have been opened, and I have sent two monsters away." Wang An told the person in charge of the ancient monuments inside, and then left.

   "Well, let's go now, what did he just say?" After Wang An left, the person in charge of the base didn't recover for a while.

   During the day, before the sun set, Wang An returned to the mountain village and came to Dongshan. He spent two days on the top of the mountain before returning home.

   "Well, I think you seem to be different from when you left." Li Xinzhu stared at Wang Andao.

   "Not the same, where is it different?"

   "I can't say it, I just feel different." Li Xinzhu said after thinking for a moment.

   "What do you want to eat tonight, please." Wang An said with a smile.

   "Let's get a cow to eat?" Li Xinzhu said casually after hearing this.

   "A cow? Yes!"

  Wang An really managed to get a cow, so that when he went to buy beef, the boss was stunned.

   "You want this cow?"

   "Yes, I want the whole cow." Wang An nodded.

  Afterwards, he bought another big pot, carried the big pot to Dongshan, and used the spring water on the mountain to stew beef.

   "Good guy, good guy!" Li Xinzhu was a little taken aback.

  He has eaten beef for countless times, but this is the first time for him to eat beef like this.

   A cow cannot be boiled in a pot naturally, so he kept some of it in the refrigerator, and took most of it up the mountain.

  After washing the beef, cut it into large pieces, throw it directly into the large pot that was set up, fill it with firewood and cook vigorously. After a while, the aroma of the beef wafted out.

  Wang An prepared some simple dipping materials, fine salt, soy sauce, and chili. When the beef is cooked, the two of them cut it and eat it directly.

   "Well, it's delicious, it's fun!" Li Xinzhu exclaimed. "Come on, Monkey Lord, you have a taste too."

  The monkeys were also eating happily.

   "It smells so good, I can smell meat from a long distance!" Xu Qi also went up the mountain.

   "Come, let's eat together." Wang An greeted.

  Xu Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of beef, "Huh, huh, it's so hot! Mmm, it's delicious!"

   "The Special Affairs Bureau asked you to question again?"

   "I can't hide it from you, sir." Xu Qi said with a smile.

   "Want to know what?"

   "Among those two monuments, is there a sacred stone that contains huge energy?"

   "Yes, there are in the historic sites under the cracks in Beiyi Mountain, and there are also in the Burial Valley, and there is more than one divine consciousness in the Burial Valley." Wang Andao.

   "Sacred stone, what sacred stone?" Li Xinzhu asked curiously after hearing this.

  "A kind of magical spar, which contains a lot of energy, like a nuclear fuel rod, or like the spirit stone described in the novel that contains the aura of heaven and earth."

   "Oh, there is that kind of thing, can we absorb it?"

   "Do you think ordinary people can absorb nuclear fuel rods?" Xu Qi asked rhetorically.

   "Of course not."

   "The energy contained in it can easily kill a person, not to mention touching it, even approaching it will be fatally affected. That is to say, people with advanced cultivation levels like sir can directly touch the sacred stone." Xu Qi said.

   "Do you care about that kind of sacred stone?" Wang An asked.

   "Yes, not only us, but also other countries. Through research, it is found that that kind of sacred stone can mutate the human body."

   "Man-made variation?"

   "Yes." Xu Qi nodded.

   "But I remember when I was studying biology, I learned that mutation is not directional."

   "In fact, it is controllable to a certain extent, and the relevant scientific research departments have made certain progress." Xu Qi said.

   Then Wang An told Xu Qi what he saw in the Valley of Burying Immortals, and what he said was very detailed.

   "The Valley of Burying Immortals, Valley of Burying Immortals, is it possible that a fairy is really buried there?"

   "It's best not to open the golden coffin deep in the ground unless you are absolutely sure. The contents inside must be extraordinary, far better than the contents of the three coffins outside." Wang An reminded him.

   "I will definitely convey to them the words of my husband." Xu Qi said immediately after hearing this.

  On the eastern mountain, the three of them finally ate half of the cow with a monkey, and the eating utensils were put into the cave after some cleaning.

  Wang An stayed in the mountain village for two days and then left again. This time he went to Yuxiao Mountain. He wanted to completely refine the "liquefied" true energy in his body.

  During the process of his retreat and cultivation, Xu Qi also reported the news he found to the headquarters of the Beijing Special Affairs Bureau.

   "Oh, what a pity, you said he took out all the sacred stones, why did he return them?"

   "It's understandable to return it to its original place."

   "What do you understand, why don't you just give it to us? Now it's ready, and he put it up again. The entire corridor is a radiation spreader, and there are certain enhancements. How do we go in and get it?"

   "Let's put that sacred stone aside for a while, what did he say is in that golden coffin in the ground?"

   "According to the analysis of our existing data, the golden coffins are all related to the so-called "immortals" in ancient times. Could there be a "immortal" inside?"

   "Okay, suppose there is an immortal lying there. The former immortal, is he still alive? According to Wang An, the three coffins outside are all monsters. One has escaped and is missing now. The remaining two were beheaded by Wang An.

  The outsiders are so powerful, but what about the one inside? "

   "That's why Wang An warned us not to touch the golden coffin inside if we are not sure."

   "Move, how to move? We want to move, but the problem is that we can't even get in now."

   "Do you think there is such a possibility that he woke up the person lying in the golden coffin after he entered?" A person asked such a question. As soon as he said this, all eyes in the meeting room fell on him.

   "It's possible!" After a long silence, a person spoke first.

   "Then who will take the blame, us?"

  No one speaks, but almost everyone is swearing behind the scenes.

   "Grass, don't you want us?!"

   "How about the autopsy results?"

  "A very special kind of fungus was found in his body. This microorganism formed a magical symbiotic relationship with his body, which preserved his physical activity to a certain extent, but also turned him into a monster. She was still alive, but she no longer had thoughts. She acted entirely on instinct, similar to ancient zombies.

  The microorganisms in his body are extremely toxic. Once inhaled into the human body, they can cause fatal threats within tens of seconds, including cardiac arrest, internal organs festering, and massive bleeding. "

   "Another terrifying microorganism, why do these ancient corpses carry deadly microorganisms?"

   "The researchers analyzed that this may be because their bodies are different from ours, and they have also undergone special mutations under the radiation of the God's Stone.

  The people from the Special Affairs Bureau were discussing the matter of the historic site. On Yuxiao Mountain, Wang An was refining the energy in his body, turning them all into his true energy.

   This time in retreat, he stayed on Yuxiao Mountain for a month.

  When I went up the mountain, some trees in the mountain had just sprouted buds. When I left the pass, some flowers in the mountain were already in full bloom.

  Wang An stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the sun in the sky.

  The surrounding mountains and fields are still the same as before, and the world in front of him is also the same as before, but in Wang An's eyes, it is different from the past.

  Energy, he felt the energy floating between the sky and the earth. Unlike the previous vague feeling, this time the feeling was clearer. If the previous feeling was like a transparent film, the film between him and the sky has disappeared now.

   A layer of shackles on him has been opened, and he and the world can communicate better. He can even absorb these energies floating between heaven and earth. It's just that they are too faint.

   "Dharma-ending era, spiritual energy exhausted?" Wang An suddenly thought of these two words that often appear in some novels.
