Chapter 22: The Appearance of the Tomb

She was willing to go northward according to Wang Hu’s will, and there was a reason to understand what was happening to China.

Wang Hu pondered, and spiritual power increased in China alone!

This was obviously not normal.

However, it was not his turn to worry about this abnormality. For their family, the question that needed to be considered was that… if the spiritual power within China had greatly increased, should they go back?

Cultivation would be faster where spiritual power was strong, and the environment would be better.

However, thinking of the reason why he went north instead of south or east-west, Wang Hu hesitated.

Roar~!

“Baijun, what do you think?”

After all, this was not his business alone. It involved the whole family, and he couldn’t just go at it alone for a while.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing for him now was his family, not his memories and feelings in his previous life.

Di Baijun glared at Wang Hu, snorted coldly, and still replied.

Roar~!

“It’s very possible that China is not simple, and now, there is a sudden increase in spiritual energy. If it is not necessary, we should not be in conflict with it.”

If they were to stay in China—when they become stronger to a certain extent, the two sides would enter conflict sooner or later. This was definite.

Wang Hu was stunned. He understood the meaning of the silly girl’s words.

He just felt strange in his heart that this arrogant silly girl felt that going back to China was probably not easy!

Why?

He asked when he thought of the question.

Roar~!

“Why is it not easy?”

Di Baijun cast her eyes away—her expression proud—and ignored him.

She just pondered in her heart.

The language of this China was exactly the same as the language of her human race in the Wild World, and more importantly…

She thought of the memory she accidentally knew that day from the mind of a countryman from China.

Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming…

The Era of Severance!

Was this a coincidence?

Or were they the legends she had heard?

She was not sure, but she also knew that this country was definitely not that simple.

Therefore, she acquiesced to that bastard’s northward move, away from China, and did not want to have any conflict with it.

However, at this time, there was a great increase in spiritual energy and was now the best place for cultivation.

It would be unwise to stay away.

The only thing to worry about was that, as time passed, they wouldn’t know what the attitude of that country would be?

She frowned for a while, but a decision was made within a few seconds.

So what if it wasn’t simple?

This Noble One had never thought about making trouble, not to mention that China would not be able to do anything to her aside from giving her a few years.

Roar~!

“Return to China.”

With a cold roar, Di Baijun took the lead to walk south.

Wang Hu didn’t get an answer, but he wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he was rather happy.

He had no objection to this decision, and more importantly, as long as the silly girl was willing to talk to him, that is a good thing.

Someday, definitely…

However, he was still very curious, why did this silly girl say that China was not simple?

…

Just as Wang Hu’s family was preparing to return to China, a huge shock was taking place within China.

The Cabinet meeting was held again.

An old man reported quickly: “Half a day ago, there was a violent shaking in the west side of the capital. A large tomb appeared out of thin air with ‘Zhang Dingguo’s Tomb’ written on it.”

After a pause, he continued: “There should be nothing there. We sealed the tomb immediately and checked its source.

“But so far, there were no specific findings. It can only be preliminarily judged from the short stories left over from the Era of Severance that Zhang Dingguo was a person from the Ming Dynasty.

“We know nothing else about him.

“And after this tomb appeared, spiritual power suddenly increased and spread to the whole country. At present, the concentration has increased by 80%, and it’s continuing.

“This was obviously not a simple matter, and the implications may be great. I have ordered the most professional team to be mobilized to explore this tomb. News should come soon.”

Several elderly people present nodded their heads with solemn hearts.

Zhang Dingguo!

It involved the character before the Era of Severance, not to mention the appearance of intense spiritual power.

Adding the two together, this was definitely a major event, and it could not be overstated.

“If there is nothing important, then everyone should just wait here. It shouldn’t be long before there will be specific news,” the cabinet leader said calmly.

There was no objection, and none of them wanted to miss out on firsthand information.

At the same time…

To the west of the capital was a tomb about half a mile in radius. This tomb did not look luxurious and was rather crude.

It’s just that there was an iron-blooded sadness, which made people feel heavy at first glance.

Teams of soldiers had surrounded this place. On the left side of the tomb, a stone gate opened, where people entered and exited constantly.

Moreover, deep in the tomb, the most professional team assembled by China was exploring deeper with caution.

“Quickly, send it out for inspection. These stones and weapons are obviously not simple. Our research before the Era of Severance may be able to take a real big step forward.”

“Yes, yes, you must be careful and keen not to destroy everything in this tomb.”

“It is strange. Most tombs of the ancients with certain status have some sort of contraptions. We have been in this tomb for so long without any obstacles or dangers.”

“No matter what, we can’t be too careful about it. After all, we don’t know what kind of person Zhang Dingguo was. What’s the purpose?”

After an hour or so and various quiet exchanges, a group of dozens of people stepped into the core of the tomb.

As soon as they entered, a series of uncontrollable exclamations echoed.

“That is…”

“Characters, Chinese characters! Except for some images, everything on the walls is all Chinese characters.”

“Military tactics, spear tactics, decisive action, the Han tribe’s power sutra, deadly army formation…

“This, this is…!”

“Look, that seems to be the words of the owner of the tomb.” One person pointed to the wall and exclaimed, and everyone immediately looked over.

An old man stared blankly and couldn’t help but read it.

“I’m Zhang Dingguo, who survived the world. My regret is that I could not protect my sons and daughters from China.

“I couldn’t resist the demons and protect my human race.

“Fortunately, after all, there is still a chance. I am buried here, leaving this the inheritance and fight for that ray of life for our clan.

“Those who entered this tomb that are not children of our tribe will die.”

Some trembling voices fell from the old, and the tomb was quiet.

Everyone felt a sense of suffocation when they looked at those words, only feeling extremely heavy.

A few seconds later, an old man said heavily: “Block this place immediately and send the report up.”

More than two hours later…

At the cabinet meeting, an old man who appeared to be in his 50s and 60s was speaking very seriously through the video.

“Through preliminary judgments, the inheritance left by Zhang Dingguo is all cultivation methods, except for the deadly army formation. The specific effects are unknown, and we cannot completely determine what is real and what is not.

“After we sorted it out, we also managed to come up with a cultivation system, divided into six realms.

“The first realm is the mortal realm, where you cultivate your physique and train your True Qi.

“The second realm is transformation, True Qi becomes True Essence.

“The third realm is into the spirit where True Essence turns into Spiritual Power.

“We haven’t analyzed the fourth, fifth, and sixth realms yet.

“And if there is nothing wrong with this cultivation system, our preliminary judgment is that current technology may not be able to deal with the fourth realm.”

When the seven elderly people in the cabinet heard the last words, they all frowned.

That was probably the last thing they want to hear now.

Because technology was their greatest fall back now.

“Hurry up and digest these things that we gained this time as soon as possible,” a few seconds later, the cabinet leader said solemnly.

“Understood.” The old man nodded his head in the video.

“What about the increase in spiritual power?”

“The rate of increase has slowed down. So far, it has increased by 165%. It is expected that the increase will stop at around 186%.

“Another point is that the increase in spiritual power this time seems to be only within the borders of our country, not outside the country,” the old man said solemnly in the video.

The seven elders in the cabinet frowned even more even though they were happy. This was a good thing, but sometimes, good things could turn into bad things.

Once this matter was known to foreign countries, it would cause trouble.

Of course, trouble was trouble. They were still more happy than not.

“Time doesn’t wait for us. We don’t have much time, hurry up.” The cabinet leader sighed softly and said firmly.

…

Wang Hu did not know about changes that had taken place in the country, let alone the changes in the world caused by it.

At this time, after more than two days of busy work, the new home was ready to be settled in the border area of China, only two to three hundred miles away from the original home and only about three hundred miles from the nearest Chinese village.

After tidying up the cave, he went back to pick up the silly girl mother and children.

They were careful all the way, avoiding human cameras. They were almost there when the sky was getting dark.

Suddenly, Wang Hu was shocked after climbing a mountain.

This smell…!

No, it wasn’t animals, more like humans.

When thoughts combined, he panicked. The silly girl and the children…

His speed suddenly accelerated with panic, and he ran along with the smell, his heart becoming heavier.

When he was about hundreds of meters away, he stopped and saw human figures.

White men in military uniform, holding weapons…

Not surprisingly, they should be from Russia’s army.

Suppressing this panic, not approaching, carefully observing from a distance. Human beings were advanced in science and technology. If he were to approach, he might be discovered.

There was still more than a dozen miles away from the cave so they should be fine.

However, what was the purpose of these Russians?

There was a bad premonition in his heart; bloody hell, they weren’t here for his family, right?

Carefully, relying on the familiarity with the mountains and forests, it didn’t take long before he roughly figured out the number of these Russian soldiers.

There were a total of 25 people. There were unrecognized guns and sniper rifles, and many other thermal weapons, including things like shoulder guns.

He quietly went to the cave after he was clear about these.

Thinking while running fast…

Could he kill these Russian soldiers?
