Book 1: Chapter 15.1: Shangxuan Imperial Mausoleum
The night before the ceremony, Bai Qiuran went to Shangxuan imperial mausoleum which was a hundred miles away from Shangxuan Palace.
This was the second breakthrough he chose. Since he suspected that there was something behind the ceremony, but found no clues on the organizer, he simply went directly to the location and checked to see if there was any problem.
After a brief inquiry, Bai Qiulan successfully got the location of the imperial mausoleum in the Shangxuan Kingdom, which was basically unknown to everyone, and came here that night.
The mausoleum was guarded by heavy-armored soldiers. Thousands of armies have layered to defend the royal tombs, but these obviously had no effect on Bai Qiuran. He didn’t even need to use spells, just relying only on breath-holding and lightweight to easily crossed the eyes of the army, and went into the imperial tomb undetected.
As a place where the emperors of Shangxuan were buried since ancient times, this mausoleum was built with style. Inside it, there was a spacious stone avenue, which could accommodate four-horse carriages side by side, extending from the entrance to the tomb, and two rows of stone beasts looked at each other on both sides of the avenue, and at their end, they were the tall royal altar and the royal tomb, where the deceased emperors slept under for eternity.
After Bai Qiuran arrived, he first looked at the location of the altar and the tomb. Then he went straight into the ground and began to peek into the tombs of the kings using Soul Awareness.
More than 3,000 years ago when Bai Qiuran was born, just before the end of the war between humans and demons, the demons had to retreat to the barren land. Because of the previous catastrophe, Nine Provinces abolished the old calendar and began to use another one which was currently in use – Da Cang calendar.
And he remembers that the country of Shangxuan Kingdom seems to have been established in the year 1800 of Da Cang calendar, that was when he was more than 1,800 years old.
Because Qingming Sword Sect was next to it, this country has existed for a very long time. Until now, it has a history of about 1,200 years. On average, each generation of emperors in the Shangxuan Kingdom reigned for about fifty years. Counting it down, there should be a twenty-fourth-generation emperor by now.
In this mausoleum, the sleeping positions of the emperors were also in the order of time, from deep to shallow. In the early years, when Shangxuan was first established, there were a lot of wars. There were also many emperors who died on the battlefield and left no corpse, thus inside their tomb there were only clothes.
