Chapter 616: Profound Emperor Mausoleum

When he first entered the Profound Yellow Universe, Lin Yuan did not send out Incarnations to search everywhere.

He was worried about exposing the locations of the treasures and rare items recorded on the animal skin map.

In the outer regions of the Profound Yellow Universe, the locations of the vast majority of treasures and rare items were extremely hidden.

Even for Lin Yuan, without the guidance of the animal skin map, it would be very difficult to find them in a short time.

The same was true for other Great Saints.

Sending out Incarnations to search at this time would simply be pointing out targets for other Chaotic Great Saints?

But now,

within the entire Profound Yellow Universe, besides Lin Yuan, there were only some Chaos Venerables.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, even if he divided hundreds of Incarnations simultaneously, he could still maintain each Incarnation close to the strength of a Chaos Realm venerable.

Dealing with those Chaos Venerables was not a problem at all.

Of course, those Chaos Venerables did not dare to compete with Lin Yuan.

What a joke? Didn't they see the ends of Dual Source Great Saint, Black Obsidian Great Saint, and other Chaotic Great Saints?

Internal Universe.

While rushing towards the Profound Emperor Mausoleum, Lin Yuan also separated a shred of consciousness to descend into his internal Universe.

"I do not know whether this dark heaven heart will have any effect on me."

Lin Yuan looked at the dark and deep crystal before him; other Chaotic Great Saints basically had no methods comparable to the Dark Heaven Domain.

As soon as the Dark Heaven Domain was condensed, it surpassed the Black Obsidian Domain of Black Obsidian Great Saint.

Therefore, even if the many Chaotic Great Saints obtained the dark heaven heart, they would not have the thought of whether it was useful to themselves.

It was self-evident that having this extra suppression and enemy-trapping method was something countless Chaotic Great Saints dreamed of.

Great Saint Kuang Man was not weaker than Black Obsidian Great Saint in pure combat power, but Black Obsidian Great Saint looked down upon Great Saint Kuang Man, considering the latter to be merely a reckless brute.

What did he rely on?

Wasn't it still the Black Obsidian Domain?

Lin Yuan was able to suppress Black Obsidian Great Saint, Great Saint Kuang Man, and eight other Great Saints in one fell swoop also by relying on Domain suppression power like his external Universe.

Without the external Universe, even if Lin Yuan's comprehensive combat power surpassed the eight Chaotic Great Saints, it would still be very difficult to keep and suppress all of them.

But in terms of Domain space-time, Lin Yuan already had an external Universe, and he worried whether this dark heaven heart would overlap with his own methods.

"Let's refine it first and see."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately began refining it.

Rare items at the level of Peerless Great Saint like the dark heaven heart were definitely best used on oneself; as for trading it away?

Unless it truly had no effect on him whatsoever, Lin Yuan would not choose to trade it away.

Rumble.

Majestic Cosmic Power began to refine that tiny, dark, and profound crystal, and wisps of extremely pure Dark Heaven Origin began to surge out.

This Dark Heaven Origin was extremely miraculous, and it was quickly absorbed and devoured by the internal Universe.

"It's useful."

Lin Yuan's expression was joyful; along with the slow refinement of the dark heaven heart, he clearly felt the foundation of his internal Universe increasing at a certain speed.

Several hundred breaths later.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

At this moment, that dark and profound crystal had already vanished. At the same time, Lin Yuan's internal Universe was mighty, and in terms of might, it had increased by at least twenty percent compared to before.

"A twenty-percent might increase, not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

When an ordinary Chaotic Great Saint refined the dark heaven heart, how could their strength skyrocket by just dozens of times? They could reach the level of Peak Great Saint in one stroke.

Yet Lin Yuan only increased his internal Universe's might by twenty percent. It seemed not worth it, but one had to know that Lin Yuan was a huge margin stronger than ordinary Chaotic Great Saints.

The starting points were different, so the gains obtained naturally differed as well.

"If it were now, that Dual Source Great Saint should not be able to escape from my external Universe."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, Dual Source Great Saint risked his life to burn the Dual Source Fusion power, tore open a crack leading to the outside world, and thus escaped.

This left Lin Yuan quite regretful.

After all, that was one billion chaos stones.

Moreover, Dual Source Great Saint must have carried treasures and weapons on him, so calculated this way, it was not as simple as just one billion chaos stones.

If not for playing it safe, Lin Yuan really wanted to go pursue and kill him.

Lin Yuan's true body ramped all the way through the Profound Yellow Universe.

With the guidance of the animal skin map, Lin Yuan knew in advance about some hazardous areas in the Profound Yellow Universe and thus avoided them, saving a lot of time.

Soon.

Lin Yuan arrived at the deepest part of the Profound Yellow Universe.

It was empty here, and wisps of Profound Yellow Qi permeated the surroundings.

In the Profound Yellow Universe, this kind of Profound Yellow Qi was everywhere, which made Lin Yuan feel very comfortable. Under this ubiquitous Profound Yellow Qi environment, the Profound Yellow Body seemed to have returned to the matrix.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed the surroundings, his expression flashing with doubt.

"Where is the Mausoleum?"

Lin Yuan compared it with the animal skin map. According to the instructions on it, this should be the location of the Mausoleum, but right now there was no trace of any Mausoleum.

"Does it exist in the depths of space-time?"

Lin Yuan continued to observe, his gaze sweeping across layer upon layer of space-time, still gaining nothing.

"This animal skin map… should not be wrong."

Lin Yuan fell into thought; the authenticity of the animal skin map had already been verified multiple times.

Whether it was the life god stone in that Life Source Star, or many other treasures and rare items, as well as the dark heaven heart and so on.

They were all indistinguishable from what the animal skin map indicated.

In addition, Lin Yuan's many Incarnations were currently searching for a large amount of treasures and rare items according to the many regions on the animal skin map.

This had basically confirmed the animal skin map.

"Could it be that there are other conditions to enter the Profound Emperor Mausoleum?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

Since it was named a Mausoleum, it must be a place valued by Your Majesty Xuan Huang, and it was very likely not open to other Great Saints?

Why was Lin Yuan able to know about this Mausoleum?

It was because of the animal skin map he obtained. Even if other Chaotic Great Saints knew that this Universe was an Acquired Universe created by Your Majesty Xuan Huang, they would not be clear that there was a place like the Mausoleum.

And the animal skin map… was placed inside a golden box, unable to be opened even after tens of millions of Universe epochs passed.

Lin Yuan was able to open the box and obtain the map by relying on the Profound Yellow Mark deep within his Soul.

"Profound Yellow Mark?"

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

At the same time, he began to release the aura of the Profound Yellow Mark deep within his Soul.

Hum, hum, hum!

Along with the continuous diffusion of the Profound Yellow Mark's aura, as if ripples were rising on the water's surface, the space-time in front of Lin Yuan slowly rippled, and an incomparably majestic palace emerged.

When this majestic palace first appeared, it was like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water, extremely unreal; but as time passed, the illusion faded and reality permeated.

"This kind of space-time attainment…"

Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart. He had once seen the projection of Your Majesty Xuan Huang creating 33,333 Profound Yellow Secret Realms in a single thought.

That was the ultimate attainment at the Peak of the Ninth Realm of Space-Time.

But the way this majestic palace appeared right now faintly surpassed the creation of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm back then.

"Could it be that Your Majesty Xuan Huang advanced further in space-time attainments in the end?" Lin Yuan speculated in his heart.

Without a doubt, the time Your Majesty Xuan Huang left this Mausoleum must be after the creation of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

During this period, it was completely normal for Your Majesty Xuan Huang to have made progress in space-time attainment comprehension.

"Let's go in."

Lin Yuan looked at the majestic palace that had emerged, paused for half a breath, and directly strode into it.

The interior of the palace was likewise incomparably empty, and the tall walls were engraved with many murals. Roughly speaking, it was about a young monarch walking out of an innate Universe, ultimately establishing a kingdom in the Chaos Void, where Experts from many Void Domains paid court one after another during the Peak period.

"Your Majesty Xuan Huang… came from an innate Universe nurtured by the Chaos Void?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, up to now, most of the Chaos Venerables he had seen were born in the Chaos Void, either being powerful spectacle life forms or a certain faction/race of the Chaos Void.

As for Experts who walked out of an innate Universe and finally grew to the level of Chaos Venerable, there were not many, let alone Peerless Great Saints like Your Majesty Xuan Huang.

Lin Yuan continued to look at the subsequent murals.

On the murals, Your Majesty Xuan Huang was powerful to the extreme, sweeping across one Void Domain after another. Many Peerless Great Saints from even more ancient eras were successively beaten into submission by Your Majesty Xuan Huang.

"Invincible Great Saint, Your Majesty Xuan Huang definitely has the strength of an Invincible Great Saint."

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn; although the images on the murals were simple, one could also see that Peerless Great Saints were simply no match for Your Majesty Xuan Huang.

"This is…"

Lin Yuan looked at the last few murals, which recorded that Your Majesty Xuan Huang accidentally entered a dangerous place. When he came out from this dangerous place, he immediately opened up the Profound Yellow Universe, entered seclusion, and then made a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order.

"Strange."

Lin Yuan frowned. The Eye of Myriad Laws had said that Your Majesty Xuan Huang was once incomparably close to an Invincible Great Saint. Now it seemed that this closeness was not closeness in strength, but closeness in time.

As long as Your Majesty Xuan Huang lived for some more time and his prestige continued to spread, he would inevitably be recognized by all Peerless Great Saints, thereby becoming the Invincible Great Saint of that era.

But Profound Yellow Great Saint did not do so.

Instead, he immediately chose to make a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order.

"Because of that dangerous place entered at the end?" Lin Yuan looked at the last few murals. It was precisely after coming out of that dangerous place that Your Majesty Xuan Huang had this transformation.

"Moyu Tower Master said that Your Majesty Xuan Huang once entered the dimensional crevice? Was that dangerous place the dimensional crevice?" Lin Yuan guessed in his heart.

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering in his heart,

A voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

"Are you curious about what Your Majesty experienced back then? Why he chose to make a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order after returning from that dangerous place?"

This figure was extremely aged, yet carried a certain tender youthfulness, filled with an extremely contradictory feeling.

Lin Yuan, however, was startled in his heart and looked towards the side.

I do not know when, but a man dressed in a profound yellow robe was quietly standing next to Lin Yuan, watching the scenes on the murals together with him.

"Who are you?"

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn, yet he was not overly surprised.

If this Mausoleum was truly left behind by Your Majesty Xuan Huang in the end, he certainly must have arranged many methods.

Moyu Tower Master was able to awaken a sealed consciousness after making a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order; Your Majesty Xuan Huang's strength was no weaker than Moyu Tower Master's, so he presumably could do it as well.

"Presumably you have also guessed it, I am the spirit of this Mausoleum, created by Your Majesty before he made a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order."

The man smiled and said to Lin Yuan, "Normally speaking, this Mausoleum would not come into the world. Even if the outside Profound Yellow Universe is destroyed, it cannot affect the Mausoleum."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Mausoleum will continue until…" The man's tone grew lower and lower, as if thinking of something, and he did not continue speaking.

"However, before making a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order, Your Majesty once left behind nine treasure boxes."

The man looked at Lin Yuan.

"Treasure boxes?" Lin Yuan immediately realized that the so-called treasure boxes were the golden box he had obtained.

"The treasure boxes contain maps of the Mausoleum and the Profound Yellow Universe. With the map, one can find the region where the Mausoleum is located, and then actively release the aura of the map and the Profound Yellow Mark to make the Mausoleum manifest."

The man paused for a moment and continued, "Only, to open the treasure box, two prerequisite conditions are required."

"First, one must be Your Majesty's mantle successor. You have inherited a Profound Yellow Secret Realm, so your identity fits."

The man smiled and said.

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Then he was somewhat puzzled.

What about the second condition?

"The second condition is thirty million Universe epochs after Your Majesty made a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order."

The man looked at Lin Yuan, "The identity of the mantle successor and thirty million Universe epochs later—the correct identity and the correct time, neither can be dispensed with."

"If the time has not arrived, even Your Majesty's mantle successor cannot open the treasure box, let alone obtain the map inside."

"And vice versa."

"Thirty million Universe epochs…" Lin Yuan's thoughts were tumultuous.

Originally, he had no concrete concept of the era where Your Majesty Xuan Huang was located, only knowing that it was before extremely ancient years, tens of millions of Universe epochs ago.

But now,

It was finally confirmed just how distant an era ago it was.

At least an era from thirty million Universe epochs ago.

"With such a long time of thirty million Universe epochs passing, if Your Majesty has still not stepped into the Thirteenth Order, presumably it is also impossible to break free from the time loop. At this time, if there is still Your Majesty's mantle successor outside, and this mantle successor has also entered the Profound Yellow Universe,"

The man looked at Lin Yuan, "Then one can summon this Mausoleum and inherit everything of Your Majesty."

Lin Yuan stood there listening quietly.

He could be considered to have understood.

Even as strong as Your Majesty Xuan Huang, he did not have the confidence to step into the Thirteenth Order.

That was why he specifically arranged this Mausoleum to be used as a final method.

"Then why did Your Majesty rush so hurriedly to make a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order?" Lin Yuan asked his doubt.

With Your Majesty Xuan Huang's strength, he could completely wait for some more time, at least obtaining the title of Invincible Great Saint before making a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order.

"Because Your Majesty obtained a certain supreme treasure in that dangerous place. That supreme treasure… must rely on the power of the time loop to be suppressed."

The man shook his head and said, "That's why Your Majesty made a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order early. In fact, for Your Majesty, doing it early or not didn't have much impact. Anyway, he had already reached the limit of the Chaos Realm. Waiting another hundred Universe epochs? A thousand Universe epochs? It has little meaning. As for the title of Invincible Great Saint? Your Majesty didn't care much about it either."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart.

A supreme treasure that required the power of the time loop to be suppressed?

"Alright."

"Your conditions match, you can inherit everything of Your Majesty."

The man extended his right hand and gently flipped it.

In an instant,

The surrounding space-time began to tremble, and Lin Yuan only felt heaven and earth transform, already arriving inside a grand hall.

"Where is this?"

Lin Yuan looked around, his pupils contracting slightly.
