Even though everyone was going in a downward spiral, each circle was extremely wide and thus each turn was extremely minute, to the extent that it could be ignored . Because of that, no one noticed the anomaly .
That was why even though the downward spiral was three thousand something kilometers long, the genuine depth was only three kilometers . If Li Yunmu hadn't learned about it, he could have only kept on walking behind Ya Yan's group . The more he walked, the more fatigued he would have become, but luckily, the system had already determined the position of the target .
Thus, the only thing that needed to be done was to start digging toward the target . The whole process only required some directional adjustments as well as the Flux Master level beetle .
Although digging through three kilometers wasn't completely effortless, it was as easy as stretching a hand and grabbing it . The digging process required around three hours to build a passage directly to the heart of the downward spiral .
"Let's go and see . "
Li Yunmu took a deep breath .
After coming this far, he couldn't retreat, not to mention that Ya Yan's group had proved after repeated scouting that the target didn't pose any danger to humans .
Leading the shadows, Li Yunmu leaped into the passage dug out by the beetle and descended below .
Before long, they landed in an extremely dark place . Pitch-black darkness covered their surroundings, so Li Yunmu released starlight insects to brighten their vicinity .
They were small creatures used for illuminating places and were very popular in the Origin World . They were only fist-sized and would emit indigo light through their translucent bodies in pitch-black regions .
Normally, those who belonged to the servant or civilian class would use glass bottles to trap them to illuminate their houses . Li Yunmu had released thirty of them in one breath, and the originally pitch-black area brightened up when the insects soared into the air .
Li Yunmu wasn't worried that they would would run away because starlight insects purchased by him weren't the same as the wild ones used by people of the lowest classes .
He had purchased a nest custom-made for adventurers . In it, around a hundred starlight insects resided . As long as Li Yunmu kept the nest with him, the starlight insects would not abandon their home and run away .
"Still insufficient!"
Li Yunmu was quite surprised by the size of the area at the end of the passage dug out by the beetle . Thirty starlight insects only illuminated half of it .
He then released the remaining seventy . This time, the entire area brightened up completely . But when Li Yunmu saw his surroundings with clarity, he couldn't help but take in a shuddering breath .
He was in what looked like an enormous mausoleum . Silence ruled over the place, which could cause anyone's hair to stand up . The area occupied by the mausoleum was as large as ten football stadiums and was thirty meters high .
Suddenly, Li Yunmu discovered that there were two rows of sculptures of insects with fierceness in their eyes . There were several thousands of them strewn throughout the place .
They were orderly lined up like guardians . They had adorned battle armor, weapons in their hands, and capes draped over them as they protected the mausoleum . They had extremely fiendish and dignified expressions .
"System, scan them," Li Yunmu commanded .
[Scanning already done . No life signs detected . Nothing suspicious detected,] the system quickly replied .
"Then are you certain that these sculptures aren't alive?"
[Yes,] the system assured him again .
This reply allowed Li Yunmu to breathe a sigh of relief . It wasn't that he was timid, but that the insect sculptures were emitting enormous pressure on him .
Even if they were all just stone sculptures, Li Yunmu could sense a strong threat coming from them . He even had a feeling that the insects who were the commanders had attained sage flux expert level .
The strong threat coming from them made Li Yunmu sweat, but fortunately… they were all just sculptures . When he confirmed that they wouldn't come to life, he slowly began to calm down .
Only after that did Li Yunmu realize that the couple thousand insect guardians were defending an emperor seat in the middle . It needn't be said that the sculpture of the creature sitting upon it was a human . He was wearing a crown, was dressed in an extravagant robe as well as a pair of matchless boots . He was holding a large pearl in his hand while looking down upon the defenders filled with dignity and imposing manner .
Who exactly is he? Could he be the former master of the island?
Li Yunmu kept silently looking at the human sculpture . While he did so, Li Yun who was standing by his side silently transmitted a surprising answer to him .
Unexpectedly, the human wasn't the master of the island .
A new question then arose . If he wasn't the master of the island, then how did he appear on it?
But more important than even that was the system's next notification . [Host, spatial energy discovered . A large amount of pure spatial energy has been discovered . ]
Li Yunmu was startled, but he asked in a hurry, "Where?"
The system's reply made Li Yunmu's eyes fall upon the human emperor . If being a bit more specific, it fell upon the large pearl in his hand .
The pearl seemed to have sensed that the system had detected the spatial energy stored in it, for it suddenly began to release a bright halo .
"That's it . "
Li Yunmu was extremely excited .
It hadn't been easy . Since the time he had descended to the Origin World, this was the first time that he had encountered space elements . His discover signified that it wasn't that the Origin World lacked space elements, but that he had simply been unable to discover them .
Without thinking, he immediately signaled to Li Tian .
"Go, get it . "
Li Tian accepted the task and quickly approached the emperor . When he got closer to the sculpture, Li Yunmu's breath almost stopped . He didn't dare to be the least bit careless .
He kept on glancing at the defender sculptures to make sure they were completely unmoving, as the system had assured .
He had a feeling that the closer Li Tian got to the human sculpture, the fiercer the expressions of the several thousand monsters became .
Li Yunmu knew that he was at the most crucial moment of testing the place .
