Chapter 492: True Tomb?
One Punch Prophet, she also has the name of the Great Prophet of the Hundred Tombs.
Because it is rumored in the astral plane that after Greenway's death, her followers built hundreds of mausoleums in various hidden locations in the astral plane according to her instructions during her lifetime.
Legend has it that the Fist of Infinite Power, one of the three sacred relics of the Origin Plane, is hidden in one of the mausoleums, and in that real mausoleum also hides the earth-shattering wealth and resources accumulated by the Prophet of One Punch during his lifetime.
Of course, there is another rumor that the One-Punch Prophet did not die at all, but was reincarnated into the present or the future through special means. One day she will return to this world, and the contents of the mausoleum are what she has prepared for her reincarnation.
Either way, it's worth the transcendents in the astral plane to rush to the tomb of the One-Punch Prophet. But when Little Pudding said that this was the tomb of the Prophet of One Punch, Andy and the others were not excited, and even reacted mediocre.
Because as long as there are too many things, they are not rare. In the long years since the disappearance of the One-Punch Prophet, there are not many expedition teams in the astral plane that have found the Tomb of the One-Punch Prophet and explored it deeply. Unfortunately, in the end, they all gained little.
There are too many fake tombs, and the means of protection are too strong. Many times, the tomb of the Prophet of One Punch was not only rewarded much less than expected, but even had to pay the Lady a broken soldier. Because even if it's a fake tomb, they don't design it for people to enter casually. Many mausoleums have terrifying traps inside.
What's even more maddening is that some of the traps were set up with prophecy calculations and were tailored specifically for tomb robbers who infiltrated the Prophet's Tomb. So after entering it, you will be targeted everywhere, and you will be restrained all the time, which makes people crazy.
It is because the pay is disproportionate to the benefit, so over time, the interest of people in the astral realm to explore the tomb of the Prophet of One Punch will also fade. Because this kind of adventure is too pitiful.
Because of this, the people on the spaceship now have no excitement at all about discovering the tomb of the One-Punch Prophet. If Andy and Catherine weren't curious and wanted to go over there, the others wouldn't even want to explore.
But as they got closer to the nine pillars of heaven that were the landmark building in the Tombs of the Prophets, everyone's interest was aroused again.
Because they could see through the observation of the spaceship, those stone pillars had faint handwriting on them.
Two of the huge inscriptions are carved on the top of the central stone pillar with iron and silver hooks.
"True Tomb!"
"Oh, this is the real tomb, we're so lucky, there's a 1 percent chance that we'll run into it. Monica couldn't help but cheer excitedly when she saw the handwriting on the stone pillar.
"But don't you think such an obvious hint is a bit inconsistent. Andy pointed to the huge real tomb and said: "They arranged hundreds of mausoleums to make it difficult to distinguish between real and fake, how could they leave such a hint." I'm afraid that this kind of hint was added later, so its authenticity would be very questionable. ”
Andy looked at the two words and felt a secret pity, now his fraudster bloodline ability can only judge the subjective truth and falsehood, and there is no way to distinguish the objective truth from the false.
In other words, he can only tell whether others are consciously lying, and then judge whether others are cheating him by the mental fluctuations at the moment when the lie occurs, but if someone writes the lie on a note and shows it to him, he will not be able to judge the truth or falsehood because the process of lying is not happening in front of his eyes.
I don't know how long the inscription has been around, and Andy certainly can't tell if the handwriting is true or not.
However, Andy estimates that it is eighty percent fake, because if someone finds out that this is a real tomb, they will have a hole in their brains to make this kind of obvious sign to remind others, and they will definitely hide it and then explore it slowly. On the contrary, if you find out that this is a fake tomb, you may deliberately make this kind of sign to trick others, so that they can also experience the feeling of coming with enthusiasm but getting nothing.
More than sixty tombs of the One Punch Prophet have been discovered in the Astral Records, and nearly one-third of the tombs have not been discovered. Anyone who has explored Greenway's mausoleum has come out saying that they have encountered a fake tomb, but whether this is the case or not is unknown to anyone.
However, one thing is well established, and that is that all of the tombs of the One-Punch Prophet are strikingly consistent in their construction. So the structure of the exit, entrance, and core chamber of the tomb is almost already open.
Even some people in the astral plane have already announced the general steps and methods for exploring the mausoleum, cracking the formation, and exploring the secrets. You must know that even if you encounter a fake tomb, it does not mean that there is no gain.
Because most of the followers of the One Punch Prophet are ancient mages, they once had a glorious civilization, and their tentacles of exploration even involve other worlds beyond the astral plane.
The general idea of their spell casting method is to use their own body as a lever to leverage the magic power between heaven and earth, and through their own efforts to pay a small amount of magic power and spiritual power, and then the outside world pays most of the magic factors to complete the spell together. Grow big with small!
It's just that because their cultivation methods are too dependent on resources and the magic factor of the astral plane, with the gradual change of the astral environment, especially the crazy looting of the one-punch prophet era, the ancient mage's cultivation method is gradually no longer suitable for the increasingly barren environment of the astral realm, so the mage is gradually replaced by the later arcanists and wizards.
But now, because of the emergence of the plane battlefield, the ancient mage's methods have begun to be used again. However, due to various changes in the astral plane, a lot of knowledge at that time has been lost. Rare things are expensive, so the knowledge of ancient mages has become invaluable.
The tomb of the One Punch Prophet was made by ancient mages, who of course used the knowledge of runes and spells at the time, so even the fake tomb has a high research value, and it may be possible to reverse their spellcasting methods at that time through the formations and construction methods in it.
Therefore, even fake tombs still have the meaning of exploration.
Andy and the others flew towards the entrance to the tomb of the prophet as recorded in the documents. That is, the one closest to Andy and the others among the nine stone pillars. According to the records, the runic mechanism that entered the mausoleum could be found at the stone pillar.
Andy and the others had just flown near the stone pillar when Nicole suddenly exclaimed.
"Stop, stop going any further, I feel a breath of destruction ahead!"
