At this moment, Lan Si wasn't the only one who had entered the burial grounds. There were others who had encountered danger and had no choice but to enter.
However, most people were still observing, as they wanted to see if the people inside would come out alive.
The tomb door did not close after it opened. The Great Eastern Alliance had sent a few volunteers to enter and tell them to come out as soon as they entered. However, several days passed, and no one came out.
Lu Yin stood outside the burial grounds and waited for a few days. At the same time, he contacted Master Yuan and the other powerhouses of the older generation, hoping to find out more about the burial grounds. However, none of them spoke in detail, so the only thing Lu Yin could find out was that a human demon had appeared in the burial grounds.
A human demon was a demon among humans, and it was both evil and strong. The last time the burial grounds had opened, a human demon had been born, and it had slaughtered almost everyone who had entered. It had caused a bloodbath on the Fifth Mainland, but it had ultimately been killed by the Hall of Honor.
There were pros and cons to opening the burial grounds.
It was precisely because of the human demon's appearance that the burial grounds could not be opened so easily.
This was what Master Yuan had told him, but Lu Yin still felt that if the appearance of a human demon alone was not enough to stop the burial grounds from opening, then there had to be a deeper reason.
"Alliance Master, someone has come out," En Ya reported. "They're on Yima Planet."
"Let's go." Lu Yin immediately went over.
Yima Planet was a very ordinary planet, and its civilization was similar to that of Earth before the Apocalypse. It was currently exploring the surrounding planets, and it had no understanding of the universe's general trend.
The appearance of the tomb door in the burial grounds had a huge impact on the people of Yima Planet. They would never have imagined that a tomb door would appear on the streets one day.
When the tomb door appeared, the entire planet was in an uproar. Every country on the planet requested to explore it, but because this planet did not have a cultivation civilization, it was impossible to open the door with just a single person's strength. In the end, they had to use the most powerful technological weapon to blast open the door and send an army in.
They had thought that the army would be able to explore the burial grounds with the planet's most powerful weapon, but who would have thought that the army would be massacred before they could even enter? A cultivator had rushed out in a panic and headed for outer space, but he had been captured by the Great Eastern Alliance.
This cultivator was only an Explorer, and to Yima Planet, he was a powerhouse who could destroy the entire planet. However, to the Great Eastern Alliance, a single warship was enough.
Yima Planet's interstellar era had begun because of the sudden appearance of the burial grounds.
This was Lu Yin's first time on this ordinary planet.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back as he looked at the destroyed buildings on both sides. He was surrounded by the Great Eastern Alliance's First Allied Army and Lu Xuanjun's troops.
"Tell me, how's it like inside?"
Wang Wen asked. He had also followed Lu Yin here to question the Explorer.
This person's name was Shi San, and he was an ordinary Explorer. When faced with a colossus like the Great Eastern Alliance, he was so frightened that his limbs went soft, and he blurted out everything that he knew.
According to Third Time, he had entered the burial grounds from a distant small flowzone. After staying inside for a few days, he had accidentally found the exit, and by the time he had exited, he was already on Planet Yima. According to him, the burial grounds were filled with dark red soil that looked as if it had been soaked in blood. However, it also seemed as if the soil was not blood, but rather the remains of human bodies.
The cemetery's environment was not the same. Lu Yin had entered the cemetery from the small flowzone and arrived at an area with dark red soil. When he left the cemetery, he arrived at a rusty metal ground. He had passed through two different areas.
"Rusty, metallic earth?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Shi San's body trembled, and he looked at Lu Yin. When their eyes met, he hurriedly lowered his head. "Yes, it's rusty."
"Metallic earth. I'm definitely stepping on metal, and it's rusty. No, it's probably been corroded by too much time."
"The place where you entered the burial grounds was very far from Planet Yima. With your strength, how did you get here in just a few days?" Wang Wen was curious.
Shi San replied, "I don't know. I only know that with my speed, I was able to reach Planet Yima in just a few days."
"It seems that while the direction to enter cannot be determined, the direction to exit is fixed. Planet Yima is one of them, but the Gates of the Tombs in our Ross Empire's fortresses might not necessarily lead to the exit," Wang Wen analyzed.
"Right, besides the differences between the areas, there are also moving corpses," Shi San suddenly said.
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "Explain."
Shi San's voice trembled. "One day after I entered the burial grounds, I saw a corpse continuously eating soil. It ate it and spat it out, then ate it again. The cycle repeated itself."
"How do you know that it was a corpse?" Wang Wen was curious.
Shi San replied, "I'm also an Explorer who has cultivated for hundreds of years, so I can still differentiate between a corpse and a person. At first, I thought that it was a Corpse King from the Neohuman Alliance, but I later discovered that it wasn't. However, the corpse's movements were strange, and it kept eating soil."
"Just one?" Lu Yin stared at him.
Shi San nodded. "I only met one."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, but he did not speak.
"Lords of the Great Eastern Alliance, may I leave now?" Shi San asked carefully.
Wang Wen grinned. "Of course."
Shi San sighed.
"You just have to hand over the items you found in the burial grounds. Don't worry, we'll buy them at the same price," Wang Wen added with a brilliant and sincere smile.
Shi San's heart sank, and his expression turned unnatural. "What are you talking about, Lord?
I don't know. "
Wang Wen squatted down and faced Shi San. "You're a smart person, and so am I. Since we're both smart people, let's not beat around the bush. Show us what you found in the burial grounds. We might not necessarily want it, right?
And even if we want it, we can buy it at the same price. "
Shi San gritted his teeth. "I really don't know what you're talking about, Lord."
Wang Wen's expression turned ugly. "The first thing you did after leaving the burial grounds was not to observe your surroundings, but to head towards outer space. This is Yima Planet, and there are no cultivators who can threaten you. With your strength, you wouldn't have been able to discover the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet, so why were you in such a hurry to leave?
Because you had no choice but to leave, or rather, you had to avoid people. There was only one reason, and that was that you obtained something from the burial grounds. "
"Just hand it over. The rules of the universe are survival of the fittest. Our Great Eastern Alliance has a good reputation, and if you had met someone else, they might not have been able to speak to you properly."
Shi San was helpless, and his expression was bitter. He looked at his cosmic ring and struggled internally, but in the end, he poured out everything from within.
Lu Yin looked over and raised an eyebrow. A blood-red oval-shaped object that resembled a fruit entered his eyes. His pupils transformed into runes as he looked at it, and he was shocked to discover that this oval-shaped fruit contained rune lines with a power level of over 300,000.
Shi San picked up the oval-shaped fruit and raised his hand. "This is what I found. It was in that red soil."
Wang Wen took it, but he could not see the rune lines. He looked at Lu Yin curiously.
Lu Yin picked it up, but he did not know what it was either.
"There's only one?" Wang Wen asked.
Shi San
His eyes flickered. "Yes, there were two. I ate one. Actually, I just recently became an Explorer, but after eating one of these things, my power level doubled in just a few days."
Wang Wen was shocked. "You dared to eat something like that?
Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death? "
Shi San was bitter. "I didn't enter the burial grounds by myself. There was an enemy, and I had no choice but to fight to the death. After eating this thing, my power level soared, and I killed the enemy. Now, there's only one left."
Wang Wen looked at Lu Yin. "How about it?
Do you want to eat it? "
Lu Yin looked at the fruit for a while, thought about it, and then contacted Master Qing Cao.
Master Qing Cao was the Windrift Hall's Hall Master and a highly respected doctor. He was the best person to ask about this fruit.
Master Qing Cao was still in the Gu Flowzone, and the screen showed that he was still at the place where the two had first met.
"What's this?"
Master Qing Cao carefully looked at the fruit in Lu Yin's hand and pondered for a moment. "It should be a human blood fruit."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Human blood fruit?"
Master Qing Cao nodded. "There are some powerhouses who spill their blood on the ground. Because of their special cultivation techniques or because they ate some natural treasures, their blood will not dry up and solidify. Instead, it will settle down and transform the soil, forming this fruit. It's equivalent to using a powerhouse's blood as fertilizer to nourish this fruit.
"Although there aren't many of these fruits, they've appeared a few times. Eating one can quickly increase one's cultivation, but the increase isn't much."
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Master."
Master Qing Cao asked, "Does Alliance Master Lu want to use it to increase your strength?"
Lu Yin hurriedly replied, "Of course not. I can't eat this fruit."
Master Qing Cao smiled. "There are many ways to increase one's cultivation in the universe, and it's not just by absorbing star energy. Some powerhouses have changed the world and created alternative cultivation methods. For example, the Gu Flowzone might have been man-made or formed naturally, but it has its own unique culture. There's also the legendary Specter Clan that uses death energy to replace star energy. Alliance Master Lu, if you want to increase your cultivation, there's no need for you to use this human blood fruit. It's unclean."
Lu Yin nodded and closed the call. He casually returned the fruit to Third Shi. "Did you hear that?"
Third Shi nodded. "Yes."
"Do you still want to eat it?" Wang Wen asked.
Third Shi gritted his teeth. "There are many ways to increase one's cultivation, but for this lowly one, the future is bleak. I'm already lucky to be alive. This lowly one will eat this human blood fruit."
Lu Yin waved for him to leave.
He wasn't surprised by Third Shi's choice, but he didn't look down on him either. Everyone's path was different, and those who hadn't experienced the path of others had no right to criticize others, much less change their choices.
"It seems like there's a lot of good stuff in the burial gardens. Different regions might have different treasures. What do you plan to do?" Wang Wen asked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin replied, "Send someone to guard this place and have the giant army stand guard. Detain anyone who comes out."
Anyone who came out of the burial gardens might have brought something good with them. Since they had control over one of the gates, they naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
"Send people into all the gates of the burial gardens in the Alliance and see if anyone can come out. Find all the gates and send powerhouses to stand guard. If anyone comes out, don't let anyone go."
