I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

The reason why the remnants of the previous dynasty are active in the vicinity of Shanghe City is because this was once the birthplace of the Yuan family of the previous dynasty, and the tomb of the Dragon Emperor is also buried here.

Early in the morning, Lin Mo followed Wei Manying into the Yunluo Mountains.

The Yunluo Mountains are rugged and steep, with towering peaks and dense forests shrouded in thick fog year-round, rich in spiritual energy.

Monsters roam the mountains, poisonous creatures abound, and swamps and cliffs intertwine; a single misstep can lead to certain doom.

Even experienced explorers dare not venture too far.

Lin Mo grew up in Shanghe City and was quite familiar with the outer areas of the Yunluo Mountains, but the depths of the mountains were forbidden territory he had never set foot in.

The Yunluo Mountains cover an extremely vast area, stretching for thousands of miles. Even though Lin Mo has lived here for more than ten years, he has not explored even one-thousandth of it.

As he and Wei Manying traveled, they could hear the roars of monsters from time to time, and occasionally they could see some sect elders leading their disciples to train in the mountains and fight against monsters.

Some expedition teams were attacked by monsters, their screams echoing through the valley, sending chills down one's spine.

However, Lin Mo had no interest in caring about these things.

His goal today was clear: to go to the Dragon Emperor's tomb for training, and hopefully break through his cultivation level.

If one could reach the Celestial Observation Realm, it would be a qualitative leap.

At that point, what will Xiao Ming have to fight him with?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement.

There was no way around it; Lin Mo was also a chosen one of heaven, and he would feel excited to defeat other geniuses.

Along the way, Lin Mo felt like it was a date.

Wei Manying walked beside him, occasionally speaking softly, a faint smile in her eyes.

Lin Mo really wanted to show off, but unfortunately there was a stunningly beautiful woman in front of him acting as a "third wheel".

He knew that yesterday Wei Manying had gone to great lengths to persuade the woman in front of him to take him into the Dragon Emperor's tomb.

Lin Mo was very grateful to Wei Manying for this.

He really liked everything about her, from her personality to her appearance; she was exactly what Lin Mo liked.

However, Lin Mo also faces a huge challenge at this stage, namely the woman in front of him, Qiu Xianyu.

Qiu Xianyu has a graceful figure and light steps. Even when she is walking normally, every step seems to sway and beautify her, leaving people with endless imagination.

Her appearance was stunning, her demeanor noble, and her every move exuded an inviolable majesty. It was this very quality that made people want to conquer her and witness her submission.

Although Lin Mo was somewhat dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude, he had to admit that, as a man, her presence was impossible to ignore.

"Lin Mo, stay close. I don't have time to bring you here a second time," Qiu Xianyu said calmly, her tone carrying an unquestionable command.

Lin Mo nodded quickly and followed.

He muttered to himself: If it weren't for Miss Wei, I would have reported you directly, believe it or not.

You're just a remnant of the previous dynasty, do you really think you're an imperial concubine?

Wei Manying seemed to sense Lin Mo's emotions and gently comforted him, "Lin Mo, Lady Qiu is just like that. Don't take it too seriously. She actually cares a lot about us younger generations."

Lin Mo forced a smile, but inwardly he didn't take it seriously.

What he cared more about was Wei Manying's attitude. Seeing how gentle and considerate she was, he felt a warmth in his heart and thought that perhaps this woman had feelings for him, otherwise why would she be so kind to him? The three of them continued on their way, passing through dense forests and crossing streams, and finally arrived at a secluded valley.

The valley was shrouded in mist, and the rocks around it were covered with ancient runes that emitted a faint glow.

Lin Mo sensed a powerful energy fluctuation, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

"This is the entrance to the Dragon Emperor's tomb."

Qiu Xianyu stopped and turned to look at Lin Mo, her eyes cold and her tone carrying a hint of warning, "Lin Mo, once we enter the cemetery, follow my instructions. If you act without authorization, you will bear the consequences."

Lin Mo nodded, feeling somewhat displeased, but dared not say anything more.

He knew that the woman in front of him was incredibly powerful, and he was no match for her at all.

Moreover, the cemetery is this woman's territory; life and death are in her hands.

In order to gain an opportunity and make a breakthrough, you should just endure it.

Qiu Xianyu glanced at the two of them, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Ordinary people were not qualified to enter the Dragon Emperor's tomb, let alone an outsider.

Considering that Lin Mo had found the key, she didn't say anything more.

Increase Lin Mo's strength so that he can quickly obtain the last key.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xianyu took out a mysterious magic weapon from her sleeve. As she poured energy into the magic weapon, the mist in the valley slowly dissipated, revealing a huge stone gate.

A giant dragon is carved on the stone gate, with two blood-red gems embedded in its eyes, emitting an eerie light.

What she did next is unknown, but the stone door opened with a loud rumble.

"Let's go," Qiu Xianyu said coldly, then strode towards the stone gate.

Lin Mo and Wei Manying followed closely behind. The three of them stepped into the stone gate and were instantly enveloped by a powerful energy.

Lin Mo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a spatial fluctuation, and then he found himself in a huge underground palace.

The Dragon Emperor's tomb was so luxurious it was astonishing.

The moment Lin Mo stepped into the cemetery, he was so shocked by the sight before him that he was speechless.

The road beneath our feet was paved with gold bricks, each brick engraved with intricate dragon patterns, gleaming with golden light, as if we were stepping on the body of a giant dragon.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with countless jewels, rubies, sapphires, jade, agate, and other colorful and dazzling gems.

A fist-sized luminous pearl hung from the ceiling, its soft light filling the entire space as bright as day.

Even more astonishingly, as Lin Mo followed Qiu Xianyu through the cemetery, he discovered that every corner of the tomb was filled with all sorts of magical artifacts.

Some of the ritual implements emitted a faint spiritual light, while others floated in the air, slowly rotating to maintain the energy flow of the entire cemetery.

Lin Mo could feel that the spiritual energy here was so rich that it was almost tangible. With each breath, it felt as if countless spiritual energies were flowing into his body, causing all the pores on his body to open up.

As an official of the Ministry of Works, this guy subconsciously wondered how much it would cost to build this cemetery, wouldn't it empty the national treasury?
So much money and resources were used just to build a sleeping tomb; emperors were truly extravagant.

"This is the Dragon Emperor's tomb?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but gasp in amazement, his gaze darting around as he was deeply shocked.

Qiu Xianyu walked ahead, speaking in a cold and arrogant tone: "This is just one area of ​​the cemetery. How could you mortals possibly imagine the majesty of the Dragon Emperor? Every gold brick and every gemstone here is a treasure he collected before his slumber. As for these magical artifacts, they were personally crafted by the Dragon Emperor to maintain the operation of the cemetery."
