"Let's go, everyone!"
Luo Yu stared at the huge stone door inscribed with the character for imperial command, glittering brightly, and decided to leave.
"Aren't you going to go in and take a look?"
Bai Xiao'e asked tentatively, filled with curiosity about what lay inside.
Luo Yu shook his head.
In fact, he was curious about the situation too and of course had thoughts of exploring. Perhaps there were great opportunities hidden inside.
But opportunities often came with risks. If he encountered any danger and got trapped, that would be a big problem.
After all, he had already received the prophecy which was related to the safety of Great Xia and his grandfather, and he was eager to go back and discuss countermeasures.
What if he got stuck here for a while because of some problem and came out to find that everything related to him had been destroyed? Then, what use would even the greatest strength be?
He rose and walked towards the exit, not coveting the treasures that might exist beyond the stone gate.
Zhen Fu'er also tugged Bai Xiao'e's wrist to leave, saying, "The treasures inside flew out on their own, then the stone door closed and the "imperial" seal was added. It's obvious they want us to be content with what we have received."
"So we must not take reckless action."
"Of course, there might be some major secrets hidden inside, or even some terrifying entity slumbering," he added.
Bai Xiao'e said with alarm, "If there's an entity that has survived from two thousand years ago until now, that would be truly terrifying."
"It feels like there's an invisible hand arranging everything for us."
Zhen Fu'er laughed, "Don't think too much. I'm also from two thousand years ago, and you don't seem scared of me."
Listening to the two women discuss this, Luo Yu was immediately reminded of the two empty coffins in the side chamber, wondering whether they had once contained humans or monsters.
If they were not friends but foes, that would spell trouble. Nowadays, the population of Great Xia was vast, and to find two people without any distinctive features was like looking for a needle in a haystack, simply impossible.
The trio left the main chamber's corridor, and as Luo Yu looked back at the side corridor housing the white-haired goddess, he rubbed his temples.
"If the Bagua Mirror weren't unable to be used again so soon, I'd like to calculate the origin of that woman."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao'e's eyes lit up, "Wait! Brother Luo, didn't the Artifact Spirit say that calculating basic information like a name doesn't consume much and isn't restricted?"
"Right."
Luo Yu nodded.
"Wait here for me. I'll give it a try."
"Whoosh!"
Luo Yu leaped up and rushed into the tomb of the white-haired goddess, where he saw the huge purple crystal coffin.
"Swish!"
He took out the Bagua Bronze Mirror.
He deployed the bronze mirror's domain to cover the entire purple crystal coffin. Being cautious, he didn't rashly open it, fearing that it might disturb whatever was inside, leaving him no place to cry.
Luo Yu did not drop his blood essence, after all, when the Artifact Spirit calculated their names, it hadn't relied on blood essence either.
"Buzz——"
The entire domain of the bronze mirror trembled violently, even forming frost, emitting a bone-piercing chill.
"Master, Master, stop quickly!" The Artifact Spirit shrieked miserably.
Luo Yu immediately ceased to stimulate the Bagua Mirror.
He frowned and asked:
"What's wrong?"
He looked towards the purple crystal coffin of the white-haired goddess, which lay completely still, puzzled as to why the bronze mirror had such a reaction.
"Master, this woman is terrifying, related to too many things. Even just a simple calculation of her name is too much for Tong Tong to handle."
Although Luo Yu expressed understanding, he was still frustrated.
"Didn't you say deriving a name didn't require much effort?"
"That also depends on the subject, Master," Tong Tong replied aggrievedly but dared not speak loudly, only whispering.
"Is there really no way to find out this woman's history?"
Luo Yu frowned, feeling that understanding the woman's identity would help in deducing the situation of the tomb's owner.
"There is a way."
"First, you could try to wake her up and ask her directly."
"Are you trying to get me killed?" Luo Yu glared.
"Not at all," the Artifact Spirit said, "Second, if you wait another three months and provide a great amount of blood essence, you can definitely deduce some information."
"Hmm."
Luo Yu nodded, indicating he understood, put away the Bagua Mirror, and also did not immediately inspect the half of the Tiger Talisman he had acquired.
The most pressing matter now was to inform his grandfather immediately; he could not delay.
He rushed back to the entrance of the tomb to meet up with the two women.
"Did you find anything, Luo Gongzi?" Zhen Fu'er asked.
Luo Yu shook his head, "That white-haired goddess may be of too high a position; I simply couldn't deduce any information about her. But since nothing could be deduced, that already says a lot."
"This woman is either a top-notch powerhouse from the Pre-Qin period or even an earlier era, or she is a goddess from legend."
Shocked by this, Zhen Fu'er and Bai Xiao'e agreed with Luo Yu's conjecture, feeling his analysis made sense.
"Let's go, Luo Gongzi!"
Zhen Fu'er's fingers flew as she was about to cast the exiting spell.
"Swish!"
A golden light flashed on the side, and suddenly a green brick staircase leading upwards appeared in the tomb shrouded in darkness.
Zhen Fu'er looked over in surprise and saw it was Luo Yu making the move.
"You learned it just by watching once?"
"And your hand seals are faster than mine?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Basic operations, you are too slow, so I just gave you a hand."
The three left the tomb.
Luo Yu gained several dozen yellow earthen materials that could be endlessly restored and half a Tiger Talisman, while Zhen Fu'er got the cracked colorful stone.
As for Bai Xiao'e, she pouted her rosy lips because she hadn't gained anything and had gotten a scare for nothing.
Luo Yu quickly flew back to Chuan Province Martial University with the two women.
Zhen Fu'er and Bai Xiao'e knew Luo Yu had important matters to attend to, thanked him, and then parted ways, saying they would formally visit to express their gratitude after Luo Yu was finished with his urgent tasks.
