They proceeded forward cautiously, each treasure-hunting team maintaining a certain distance from the others with torches in hand.

They noticed that this cave was quite special.

It seed as if it had been carved out from the entire mountain and rocks, forming a seamless whole.

Another weird thing is the cave was incredibly deep. They had already walked dozens of zhang forward, yet the end was still nowhere in sight.

The light from the torches revealed that the path ahead remained dim and eerily quiet.

Do you think this could be the tomb of Heavenly Khan?

It was the sa 16-year-old boy speaking, his voice a mix of excitent and fear, which stood out in the cave.

Its hard to say, but this place must have been man-made! Look here, this path is so straight. It couldnt have been ford naturally!

His eldest senior brother comnted.

What a massive undertaking this must have been! Even using martial artists to carve the way, it would take years to create!

Maybe there really is so incredible treasure inside!

It might also be the tomb of the Heavenly Khan

The others remained silent, continuing their journey forward.

Then, after descending another hundred zhang, they still hadnt reached the end.

And the entrance they had co through was no longer visible.

As they delved deeper, they increasingly felt that the cave hid sothing extraordinary.

It could be soones tomb or so kind of treasure.

Otherwise, who would go to such lengths to create such a cave?

With a mix of excitent and fear, they kept moving forward, and after walking another hundred zhang or so, they ca across another two pitch-black cave openings and finally stopped.

It seems we have to choose one of the caves!

The eldest senior brother from the Iron Sword Sect pondered for a mont and said, One of these caves might lead to the treasure, while the other might be a trap! Its also possible that both are traps! So, lets think carefully before we enter!

Eldest senior brother is absolutely right! his junior brothers and sisters all stopped.

The other groups shared the sa sentint.

They carefully observed the two cave openings, trying to choose the safer path.

But in the end, they discovered nothing.

After about the ti it takes half an incense stick to burn, soone grew impatient.

Forget it! I ca here to find treasure. If I dont seize the opportunity when its right in front of , wouldnt my trip be in vain? Ill choose this path, you all wait here for . Im off to make a fortune!

He chose the cave on the left and walked in with his torch.

The crowd beca agitated, and a few people followed him, afraid of missing out on the treasure.

After a while, so chose to enter the other cave.

Gradually, everyone ventured into the dark caves, each seeking their fortune.

Eldest senior brother! If we dont move now, the treasure might be taken by others! the mbers of the Iron Sword Sect looked at him anxiously.

The eldest senior brother sighed, Lets go!

They chose the right cave and entered one after another.

They walked forward for about another hundred zhang and still found nothing.

Not even the people who had entered before were anywhere to be seen.

The cave was pitch black and extrely quiet.

Just then, they discovered that there were two more cave openings ahead, which again looked indistinguishable from each other.

We face the sa choice as before! said the eldest senior brother.

Eldest senior brother, you choose! everyone agreed.

The eldest senior brother crouched down to carefully examine the two openings but still couldnt discern any difference, which left him sowhat disappointed. Lets continue choosing the right side! Follow , and be careful along the way!

Yes, eldest senior brother!

They continued down the opening for about a hundred li and encountered two more openings.

They keep choosing the right opening and keep moving forward.

Another hundred zhang passed, and two more cave openings were discovered.

This cycle repeated over and over as if they would never reach the end.

About an hour later, they had passed forty or fifty openings but still hadnt found what they were looking for.

The eldest senior brother stopped everyone, his face grave, and said, Sothing isnt right!

Eldest senior brother? everyone looked at him.

Weve descended about four or five thousand zhang, which is equivalent to more than 30 li in distance! Yet, we still cant find the end, which is very strange!

Eldest senior brother, what should we do? everyone was anxious.

This place is too strange. I think its beyond our ability to get involved with this. We must go back the way we ca and report this matter to our sect elders! the eldest senior brother declared.

Alright, lets head back! the junior disciple agreed without hesitation.

In fact, after walking for so long, they also felt that the place was too eerie and that staying here too long might bring misfortune.

It was best to leave now.

However, after they had walked back a hundred zhang, they were stunned.

Because what appeared before them were two pitch-black cave openings.

They looked almost identical, leaving them unsure of how to choose.

Eldest senior brother

Everyone, dont panic! the eldest senior brother raised his hand.

When we ca in, we always took the right opening, so we just need to keep choosing the left opening to go back!

The eldest senior brother is right!

So, they chose the left opening and continued on.

However, after another hour, they had gone three or four thousand zhang and still hadnt found their way out.

They continued forward for another hour, and still, there was no exit.

The situation was too bizarre. They were spending an extra hour retracing their steps and still couldnt get out.

At this point, they were completely panicked.

Eldest senior brother, what should we do?

Can we still get out?

Are we going to die here?

With his back drenched in sweat, the eldest senior brother said with a wry smile, Dont ask , I dont know what to do either!

At this mont, not just them, but others who had entered the cave also couldnt find a way out and were trapped underground.

As the torch in their hands extinguished, they were plunged into panic.

By this ti, it was already daylight outside.

The people outside had waited anxiously through the night, yet no one erged from the cave.

Realizing that sothing ominous might have occurred, they imdiately reported the situation.

Once too many people knew about it, it was no longer a secret.

Thus, the news spread rapidly across the land, causing a sensation in the rivers and lakes.

Did you hear the recent news? Soone found the tomb of the Heavenly Khan in the Wanshou Mountain of Great Xia!

Is that true? Its hard to believe.

Its very likely true! That night, three thunderbolts from the sky struck down Wanshou Mountain! When people rushed over, they found a pitch-black cave that was man-made and bottomless! Tell , who would go to the trouble of creating such a cave if there wasnt sothing valuable inside?

What youve said does make so sense

Even if its not the tomb of the Heavenly Khan, it could still be soone elses treasure!

Yeah, lets go check it out!

If we really dig up sothing incredible, well strike it rich!

Those who sought the treasure set their sights on Wanshou Mountain.

Various powers also sent people to investigate.
