With a swoosh.

Ning Zheng opened his eyes again and found himself in a wilderness.

"The Thirteen Countries have not been united, internal conflict will make this tomb... very weak! It might even be the weakest among all the Imperial Mausoleums throughout history."

"I might be able to clear it out by myself, no need to let anyone else take the credit."

"If I can't handle it alone, I'll let three powerful helpers in for free."

His immense consciousness swept across the surroundings and quickly confirmed the direction of a city, heading there swiftly.

With a crack.

[Gale Imperial City]

A crude stone gate appeared before him, with towering tribal stone walls. The people wore linen clothes, appearing very primitive.

The dirty air was turbid and moist, cow and horse dung lined the roads, underfoot lay gravel paths.

Looking at this prosperous capital of the Thirteen Countries, Ning Zheng frowned slightly. To him, this ancient Royal City was just a combination of urban and rural areas.

The Bronze Statue Emperor walking leisurely down the street in a golden robe, the surrounding passers-by showed expressions of unusual fear.

Some secretly fled, anxiously whispering, guards, guards, there's an intruder.

Ning Zheng instinctively gathered information about the entire city.

"There's a Self-Transformation Realm... master in the city? Can't really count as a master, just barely entered the Self-Transformation Realm."

"It should be the Emperor of this Vassal State."

The power level of Self-Transformation Realm during this era was insignificant in Ning Zheng's eyes.

With a glance, he saw through the opponent's cyclical structure, several cycles were stacked together, the coarseness was unworthy of mention.

Their Three Flowers were like the withered and incomplete flowers on a vase exposed to the sun, weak and lacking vitality.

Their Two Phases were like kids' rough graffiti drafts in alleyways, the battle prowess of the Dharma Aspect was just a joke.

"It seems, indeed, this tomb's replication is very weak."

"Don't they have any Saints infiltrating from outside? Didn't they seize records of cultivation during the tomb leakage a hundred years ago?"

"Or if they did get records, but the foundation they left during their lifetime was too little, as ghosts, they had no learning ability to update their versions."

That's not impossible.

Without leaving corresponding means while alive, as ghosts after death, they have greatly reduced learning ability, unable to update their cultivation system.

This Dynasty seemed like it fought internally until it hastily buried itself, unable to hope for future revival.

"Bold!"

Finally, a Guard Team came for the attack, a great expert from the One Heart Realm.

Ning Zheng merely glanced at him; these ancient people were meaningless in his eyes, civilization had already achieved supremacy.

He and the opponent had crossed over 7 million years of civilizational accumulation, to each other they merely looked human, but were no longer the same kind of being.

What the opponent thought, did, all were meaningless to Ning Zheng.

Swoosh!

Ning Zheng reached out a hand and grabbed.

Swoosh swoosh, an invisible tsunami spiraled in the sky, transforming into the golden raindrops that fell drizzling down.

In the city, cultivators besieging Ning Zheng growled and turned into bronze statues.

The entire city was becoming a city of bronze statues.

-5

-5

-5

Ning Zheng was forcibly absorbing the Qi Fortune of the citizens.

Indeed.

Without relying on his Qi Fortune Gambling Table ability.

Golden Mud itself was Plague God's Divine Technique, capable of forcibly absorbing Qi Fortune Value.

However, this absorption was domineering and deadly, turning you into a bronze statue, a clay statue, squeezing out your entire life's energy, killing you and extracting 5 points.

Not sustainable.

But Ning Zheng didn't feel these ghosts would worship him, giving him -5, the forced absorption was already a big gain.

"Ah! Ah!"

The Guard Captain of the One Heart Realm screamed loudly, as if he saw the scenes of Hell, the entire city's populace was metallicized, turned to clay... The ground mud surged upward from human corners, transforming them into clay and golden statues.

Even the ground mud thinned by thirty centimeters, as it was absorbed and transformed into lifelike statues of citizens within the city.

"Ah, help!"

"What is this thing!"

Someone screamed loudly, but was quickly petrified the next second.

[+3,000,000 Qi Fortune Value.]

Ning Zheng frowned, it was merely his usual amount for a day and a half.

Yet next time these Embers, as Earth-bound Spirits, are resurrected, it can be absorbed again.

Though regular Earth-bound Spirits do take several months to revive.

Once every few months for 3 million, in the past it was a huge profit for Ning Zheng.

But now, he's a bit indifferent.

Too troublesome.

Golden Mud, kinda trashy eh.

Needs further updating!

To outsiders, it's already quite heaven-defying, but Ning Zheng was still dissatisfied.

...

On the other side.

The Gale Emperor was enjoying pleasures among beauties when suddenly he felt the whole city's sky darken and saw an inconceivable scene.

Golden raindrops fell pattering down.

The nearby beauties were petrifying, solidifying, becoming statues.

"Petrification ability, of the Metal Series, or is it Earth Series Divine Technique?"

The Gale Emperor walked to the window, overlooked the entire city, and was stunned directly.

The city became a living puppet city, covered in golden and earthy hues.

As the Gale Emperor wanted to say something, Ning Zheng immediately felt the opponent's gaze, appearing at his window the next second.

"Gale Emperor?" Ning Zheng said, "I don't have time to chat with you. If you want to stay alive, the land you rule, the treasures you possess, your life, all must come under my control."

"Absurd!" the Gale Emperor shouted angrily.

The next second, Ning Zheng grabbed fiercely, and the opponent fell quickly into his grasp.

Various punishments, mental tortures, continually tortured the Embers, and in no time, the opponent conceded directly.

The Embers although were dead, feared death during lifetime, instinctively feared death after life.

Ning Zheng quickly received a message from the subdued Gale Emperor.

"Oh?" Ning Zheng showed an intrigued expression, "So you weren't without preparation, just had special ways to respond."

"Yes."

The Gale Emperor didn't hold back, quickly becoming a traitor: "In our tomb, there are thirty-seven Great Emperors. Although each one can't keep up with the times, like me, weak, only wielding one percent of your power."

"However, we have a crystalline window, we call it the Divine Window."

"As long as we reflect it on the opponent, we become them."

Ning Zheng revealed a trace of surprise.

Replication?

The power of this era was surprisingly replication??

No wonder the Emperors of Longevity were prepared to update their system while the tomb owner here was not.

Because they actually didn't need preparation!

Wait for future powerhouses to arrive, directly replicate, become the opponent!

Ning Zheng thought silently: "Need me to have good luck, directly ambush one among them... otherwise, if they replicate me, thirty over Saints in the tomb turn into me..."

"On thinking it, gives me goosebumps."

"Strength meets strength, the difficulty here might not be worse than the Emperors of Longevity."

Ning Zheng felt he couldn't summon three free helpers anymore.

Because the opponent's strength meets strength.

Over thirty, if ten become Cursed, ten become Xin Xichen, ten become Phoenix...

This combination would be deadly.

Weak, singular Self-Transformation Realm entering, would reduce the difficulty.

"This era, indeed has its merits."

Ning Zheng showed a contemplative expression, "So, during your chaotic times, over a hundred Self-Transformation Realm emerged, all because of this mysterious Divine Window?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Yes, because of the replicating Divine Technique, our Saints number grew terrifyingly large." Gale Emperor said, "Moreover, each Duke was fighting, contending over that Divine Window."
