Chapter 711: Chapter 433: Nurturing a Flying Corpse? A Army Covered Entirely in Talismans

"To hell with it, stay together, what are you afraid of!"

In the early morning, the silence of the General Mountain was broken by Deputy Mo’s curses.

Following Lu Xuan’s instructions, only five hundred elite soldiers were brought this time, lightly equipped for the mission.

Midway on their journey, the Feng Shui Master stopped on a patch of damp grass at the mountainside, stomping the ground with his foot.

"Commander," the master turned to report, with a hint of disdain on his face, "The soil here is loose, with ominous Qi leaking out, and there are rushed burial marks of looters’ tunnels along the way.

Looks like quite a few ignorant thieves have already visited here, likely angering the tomb owner inside and fleeing in panic, leaving their companions behind."

After saying this, he changed his tone and pointed towards the solitary dark red hill in the center of the valley.

"The true entrance to Grand General Weiyuan’s tomb absolutely wouldn’t be in such a shallow mountainside location,

In my view, either that ’Corpse Bait’ hill or the ’Tiger’s Mouth’ crevice ahead is the real path to heaven!

These looter tunnels have only scratched the surface of the tomb chamber, not even touching the side chambers!"

Regarding the Feng Shui Master’s thorough analysis, Lu Xuan listened without commenting.

After the master finished speaking, he casually raised his hand, pointing to a seemingly ordinary flat area not far from the ’Tiger’s Mouth’ crevice.

"Over there, open the tomb entrance for me; we’re going straight in."

In the eyes of Lu Xuan, a cultivator with the perfect Earth Master stage, the flow of Spiritual Qi in the world’s mountains and rivers, the layout of auspicious and ominous nodes, were all as clear as the lines on his palm.

This ’White Tiger Holding Corpse’ formation was certainly exquisite and dangerous, but how could it escape his discerning eyes?

In fact, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Xuan had already seen through the secrets of the General Mountain.

The flat area he pointed to earlier was directly above the main tomb chamber’s dome!

All those winding paths and trap-laden tunnels were futile before Lu Xuan.

Now, by breaking the tomb dome with force, they could reach the core of the main tomb directly!

As for the stone hill or crevice entrance speculated by the master, it might not be wrong, but it certainly would be circuitous and filled with deception and danger.

Lu Xuan wasn’t interested in making such efforts; he wanted efficiency.

The gold and silver treasures in the tomb were the key capital for strengthening his warlord forces!

Lu Xuan didn’t need just this small territory of two counties right now?

He wanted the entire world!

Only by wielding supreme power and mobilizing national strength could he gather strange intelligence from across the land and precisely locate those evil entities.

By then, Lu Xuan’s troops would be more than just a mundane force but a sharp blade for eliminating evil and amassing a massive amount of system points.

Exterminate evil, refine a large amount of system points, and then continually grow stronger!

Like an efficient cycle driving Lu Xuan in this seventh mundane world to rise continuously, until finally... transcending this world!

This was his true purpose in continuing to play the role of this small warlord.

Wealth and power were merely tools to achieve his ultimate goal.

Moreover, there was another reason for coming to General Mountain, with his perfect Earth Master stage, Lu Xuan sensed that the ’White Tiger Holding Corpse’ formation, nourished by ominous Qi for over a hundred years, could very likely breed an extremely terrifying zombie.

Ordinary zombies are categorized into Fur Corpses (Bronze Armor), Silver Armor Corpses, etc., which may be impervious to blades and guns but can still be controlled by ordinary Daoist arts.

If Grand General Weiyuan managed to refine the White Tiger ominous Qi here successfully, he might skip these stages and transform directly into the legendary Flying Corpse — a level achievable only by zombies who have cultivated for over a thousand years!

Flying Corpses can absorb the essence of sun and moon to evolve continuously, can fly at low altitudes, excel at spells, and possess bodies that are indestructible, nearly demonic!

By that time, unless a high-level Feng Shui master or a higher realm Daoist master with significant treasures intervenes, it would be almost impossible to destroy it, inevitably causing a calamity sweeping the world.

In others’ eyes, it may be a terrifying Flying Corpse, but in Lu Xuan’s eyes, it’s a goldmine for refining a vast amount of system points.

An hour later, after rounds of vigorous digging by the five hundred elite soldiers,

a large opening, several feet deep and wide over one meter, was carved open, revealing the deep, cold structure of the chamber below.

The smell of earth mixed with an indescribable, rotten ominous air rushed out from the hole, giving nearby soldiers a shiver.

An officer in charge of clearing the front suddenly stopped his shovel, squinting at a large, dark object faintly revealed in the gloomy area below under the overhead light.

He immediately looked up and shouted excitedly towards the entrance above:

"Commander! We’ve found it! It’s the coffin!"

Everyone’s attention instantly focused on the depths below the dark opening.

"Go down!"

At Lu Xuan’s command, several sappers immediately secured thick hemp rope ladders at the edge of the opening, throwing them down into the deep tomb.

Though most soldiers were nervous inside, military orders were as strict as mountains, so they orderly grabbed the swaying rope ladders, carefully climbing down like dumplings into the pot.

However, as the supreme commander, Lu Xuan still stood at the edge, hands behind his back, showing no intention of personally going down.

He looked down at them from above.

Lu Xuan wasn’t one of those hot-blooded fools who would stupidly risk himself running into underground tombs.

What if the tunnel structure is unstable and suddenly collapses? Or if... some ill-intentioned individual outside deliberately blows up the entrance, trapping him inside forever?
