Ling Han arrived at the city gate, then entered the Black Tower with Hu Niu and started Na Zhi Yan's interrogation.
He wanted to know more information about Sea Race.
Inside the Black Tower, there was even less chance for Na Zhi Yan to put up a fight. Whatever Ling Han asked, he would answer honestly, not daring to make the slightest attempt at deception.
It was a common clan member that Na Zhi Yan was under the command of named Xuan Kong Yun. The Xuan Clan was an extremely powerful existence among the common clans of the North Sea; the Xuan Kong Yun, who was at the God Transforming Level, was an important character of that clan. According to Na Zhi Yan's personal investigation, he was extremely ambitious.
Why did Xuan Kong Yun not send anyone, and instead just chose to send Na Zhi Yan alone to carry out this mission?
First, because Na Zhi Yan has special abilities. Sea Demons were born extremely proficient in magicians, and could send their enemy soldiers back without a fight. They might even be able to mess with someone so that their victim is not even aware that he or she is being bewitched. For example, the Flame Emperor had to be aware of the consequences of the forced excavation of the ancient mine. It is something that can weaken the foundations of a country and bring destruction to the entire strength of the nation.
Yet he still chose to stick to his path, fantasizing about the wonderful future he had as a Flowerbearers cultivator. One of the reasons for that was indeed the great temptation that the mineshaft had, and the other reason was because of the magician Na Zhi Yan.
Second, because Xuan Kong Yun obviously did not want to tell others — even his own clan — about the ancient mineshaft and the mysterious bottle. He must have read it in some ancient classic book, and wanted to claim the only one to have it.
This was something that could be confirmed based on the fact that he had only sent Na Zhi Yan. Just one person ... it would be very easy to kill him to keep him from speaking.
Ling Han's curiosity spiked even further. A treasure that could make an elite cultivator at the God Transforming Level make a grueling effort just to achieve it must have incredible value. It was certain that the bottle was definitely the Cursed Tool mentioned by the Little Tower, but what exactly was it for?
It was simple; he just needed to dig it out.
Ling Han had a very formidable Christmas horoscope, and coupled with the presence of the Black Tower, there was absolutely no need for him to worry about being cursed. He could really go anywhere and do whatever he liked in the ancient mines.
Moreover, he also had one other thing to do, and that was to bring the miners to the Black Tower so that he could clear the effects of the curse on them.
He arrived at the old mineshaft. At this moment, the Imperial Guards had already rushed over, bringing along the Fire Emperor's imperial decree. They would immediately close the old mine, and would obey Ling Han's orders.
Ling Han asked all the miners to gather at the top level. Then, he activated the aura of the Tier Blooming Flower to knock them all unconscious before he led them to the Black Tower. He then left the old mine and threw everything away. As for the question of when they would regain consciousness, or what reaction they would have, Ling Han did not care.
"Young Master Han, you really can't stand against Master Kong Yun!" Na Zhi Yan was practically ready to start crying. "I have to make a progress report to Master Kong Yun every ten days, and tomorrow is the scheduled day for my report. Master Kong Yun was already very unhappy with the current rate of development; if things continued to be delayed, it could not be guaranteed that Master Kong Yun would not come personally. At that time, we will all be in deep trouble! "
It was an elite Divine Transformation Tier cultivator. With a mere thought, he could crush an Infant Spiritual Tier cultivator to death; no matter how terrifying Ling Han was, there was no way he would be able to fight against such an existence.
"So fast?" Ling Han frowned. If an elite God Transforming cultivator really came, what would he have to do to resist? After a few days, the two corpses of heavenly beings had lost too much of an eternal level pressure. At this moment, they would most likely only be able to suppress a Blooming Flower cultivator, and it was practically useless to him — would he still need help in standing up against a Flower Flowering Level cultivator?
"Young Master Han, for the sake of our lives, please do not interfere in this matter. You are also unable to interfere," Na Zhi Yan advised. Furthermore, he suspected that vials, which were even heavily nurtured by Tier Transformation cultivators like Si Kong Yun, should have an effect that was even superior to a Tier Transformation God level.
If so, it must be amazing. If news of the bottle were to leak, perhaps even the Royal Clan would take action.
Ling Han shook his head. There was no way he could let this old mine excavation continue but he could not ignore the threat that a Tier Transformation cultivator could pose. So why not do it this way? He would obtain that damned Tool and have Tier Transformation cultivators hunt him down.
After all, he was planning to go to the central prefecture. There was a natural barrier separating the various zones, and if a Divine Transformation Level cultivator headed in that direction, his strength would be greatly weakened. Moreover, a Tier Transformation God cultivator really could not be considered very powerful there.
Decided, then.
He returned to the old mine and traveled deep inside, beginning his quest with Hu Niu by his side.
The old mine is a very special place. The aura from the cursed Tool surged in like a blood clot, preventing the heavenly sense from spreading. This caused Ling Han to have no way of investigating objects that were too far away from him. But since he knew that the bottle might be the source of this Cursed Qi, Ling Han knew what he had to do, and it headed to the area where the Cursed Qi was strongest.
When he found it, he then had to start digging.
In terms of digging, he was clearly more efficient than the 10,000 miners put together.
What power does the Flower Rate hold? Be it stone or earth, they would be easily penetrated. Furthermore, there was no need for him to expend unnecessary effort to move the dirt he had dug up, as well, since he could easily throw it all into the Black Tower.
The space inside was huge; one knew how many mountains or oceans he could store within.
The efficiency is very high, of course. After only less than half a day, the aura soaring from the ground was as red as blood, and upon contact, his skin would immediately turn blood red. A strong desire for violence and bloodshed would appear in his heart, with a desire to kill all living beings.
This effect was enormous, and within a short period of time, both Ling Han and Hu Niu felt tremendous pressure. They hurriedly entered the Black Tower to rest.
"This is not a curse power; rather, it is possible that the ultimate cultivator who has died here has a violent nature. As time went on, it continued to affect the area here," the Little Tower said.
Ling Han frowned, and said, "What you mean is, that this place does not only contain cursed Tools, there may also be the body of an ultimate cultivator buried here."
"Maybe that person was killed by that damned Tool" the Little Tower concluded.
After staying inside the Black Tower for a long time, the violent thrust on their bodies finally disappeared, and the two once again left the Black Tower and continued digging. Hu Niu was naturally a good hand because his little claws were extremely sharp.
"Truly a strong grudge!" After digging for over a dozen minutes, Ling Han was suddenly startled and felt as if something had entered his body. It was a strange feeling, and made her feel threatened for some reason.
Is this the power of curses?
It would not immediately take one's life, but it would have an invisible influence, and eventually cause one to die suddenly.
"Little bottle!" Hu Niu exclaimed, pointing to the ground.
Ling Han nodded. The opening of the bottle opened there, so he hurriedly continued digging. Soon, the entire bottle came out in the open. It was about a foot tall and very slender. It was made of jade; even if it had been buried underground for many years, it was not the slightest bit damaged.
There are a large number of designs on the body of the bottle. It should be some kind of martial intent associated with curses.
He wanted to take the jade bottle, but when he tried, he actually discovered that he was unable to take it.
Is it rooted to the ground?
He increased the strength he did, and the jade bottle was finally taken. However, as soon as he left the ground, a blood-colored fountain gushed out, and an extremely frightening aura spread out in all directions. Even if Ling Han had the heavenly feeling of a Heaven Tier, he felt a shiver as if a great calamity was about to occur.
"Let's go!" He put away the jade bottle, hurriedly raised Hu Niu, and flew upwards.
