This idea was heard for the first time, and it was a huge surprise.
The rest of the people around looked at the murals opposite with shock, their three views shattered.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Did he successfully ascend? And this is likely a tomb of an immortal... Holy crap, if I had known the big shot was here, I would have signed up too. Could I also see this immortal tomb?"
"It seems so, my god, I just pinched myself, it's definitely real, and it hurt quite a bit."
"The key is, how did he do it? Are there really immortal realms in this world?"
"This question... is worth pondering. Will there be an introduction on how to ascend later? Damn it, I want to try it too, what if I succeed?"
"Just a sacrifice can lead to becoming an immortal? This can't be real, right?"
"I've really opened my eyes. The ancient emperors were truly daring to think and brave enough to do it. It actually worked."
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the archaeological team and Elder Tang and the others, then lowered his head to look at the time on his wrist.
Just looking at the murals took an hour.
This wouldn't do, it was delaying his earning money.
The sooner he got out, the sooner he could get paid. Money in his own hands was the most secure.
If it wasn't in his bank account by the end of the day, he couldn't rest easy for a moment.
"I say, Elder Tang, professors, you are all highly educated people. How can you have such thoughts? What immortal tomb? What ascension? That's an illusion. How can humans ascend?"
"Even if you do all sorts of tricks, it's absolutely impossible to ascend. It's an impossible thing."
Zhou Lin's flippant voice successfully suppressed their excited emotions.
"Little friend Zhou Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Tang heard the voice and looked at him sideways. His previous excitement had completely disappeared. Could the murals be fake?
"It means exactly what you heard. Let's not waste any more time on these hypocritical murals. How can humans transform into immortals?"
Zhou Lin looked at Elder Tang and the archaeological team, feeling a bit speechless.
"But it's carved like this, maybe this is an immortal tomb."
Professor Lin knew Zhou Lin was knowledgeable, but this was a fact.
"Professor, let me tell you, immortal tombs are filled with immortal energy, not ghostly energy. You might be confusing the two. Also, this king was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He held power and enjoyed wealth and glory."
"It's normal to be greedy for power. Everyone wants to transform into an immortal and gain eternal life. The First Emperor was the same, but he did think about ascending, but he failed."
"Because humans cannot become gods and immortals."
Zhou Lin said with absolute certainty.
Everyone listened and looked at Zhou Lin, with a hint of struggle in their eyes.
They had all witnessed Zhou Lin's abilities, but the images on the murals were right in front of them.
For a moment, a sense of conflict arose in everyone's hearts.
"I know you don't believe me. Look at these murals, aren't they different from before?"
Zhou Lin seemed to know what they were thinking and finally sighed.
These intellectuals were so stubborn.
Zhou Lin gestured for everyone to look at the murals.
The murals before the immortal realm were pure black, looking quite ancient. However, the later murals, while more exquisite, had some black mist-like substances in places.
There was also a faint black aura.
This aura, they hadn't noticed before. They had always thought it was deliberately carved, and subconsciously believed it was a form of immortal energy because it was a mural of an immortal realm.
But now, after Zhou Lin's words, when they looked again, compared to the previous images, it felt different, more like the ghostly aura Zhou Lin mentioned.
Everyone's hearts suddenly leaped. It looked different from before. Why hadn't they noticed it earlier?
Especially the mural on the sacrificial altar looked even more eerie, sending chills down their spines.
In the live broadcast room.
"Holy crap, it's a good thing the big shot spoke up. Otherwise, I would have thought this was an awesome immortal realm. Now it looks like a very eerie palace, not an immortal realm at all."
"Damn, how did this thing do it? This visual impact is really amazing."
"Why do I feel goosebumps all over my body?"
"Thinking about how I thought this immortal realm was so beautiful just now, I want to slap myself. I really regret it."
"Me too, it looks so terrifying."
...
"Why? Why didn't we notice it before?"
Elder Tang looked at the murals on the opposite wall in surprise, greatly shocked.
Clearly, it hadn't looked like this before.
"This is a kind of preconceived visual impression. You look again, look closely at the murals. Where is this black aura coming from?"
Seeing their astonished expressions, Zhou Lin continued.
Everyone looked at the sacrificial mural and saw that a section of the mural was protruding.
It was different from before.
And a black gas was coming out from here.
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the Taoist priest were all greatly shocked.
The Taoist priest hurriedly picked up his compass and performed a divination, and his face immediately changed.
"Not good, great misfortune, and a bloody disaster."
The Taoist priest's voice trembled.
The Wolf King, Olympic champions, gymnastics champions, biologists, and others nearby, who were already feeling uneasy, felt their unease resurface upon hearing this news.
Seeing that everyone was starting to feel scared, Zhou Lin, to prevent them from being afraid, tore off the layered part of the mural.
The moment the mural was opened by Zhou Lin, they noticed that there was a space inside, at least three meters deep.
In the innermost space, there was a corpse, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with a pure wooden hairpin inserted into its dark hair.
Its skin was dry and withered, like a mummy. Only its eyes were very similar to those of a normal person, but there was an emotion in its gaze.
That was anger.
It looked like an expression of rage.
The students behind the archaeological team gasped.
They had seen many mummies, but this was the first time they had seen a mummy with intact eyes.
"Why do I feel inexplicably angry when I look at these eyes?"
"Me too. I also feel a cold wind blowing down my back."
