"However, judging from the plot of the movie, Ziyuan was not particularly powerful. In the end, she killed the Dragon Emperor by relying on the sword that was tainted with the Dragon Emperor's aura."
Moreover, I also possess the Dragon Transformation Technique, as well as the Five Elements Spells from the remnant soul of Chi You. Once I comprehend these Five Elements Spells, I should be able to break through to the Golden Core stage soon…”
The World Tree absorbed the power of the curse. Once the World Tree recovers, this understanding of the laws of the curse will also be automatically absorbed by him, and he can then use the laws of the curse to achieve the Golden Core.
"But the first thing to solve now is the health problem."
Although the curse power on his body was removed, his body, which had been eroded by the laws of the curse, was severely injured, and the mottled wounds could not be repaired until the World Tree recovered.
"It seems I must first obtain the Fountain of Youth," Li Ling thought to himself. Suddenly, his eyes became misty, and he murmured, "And my Ziyun..."
After a long while, Li Ling calmed down and thought of another matter. This mummy world, as a minor world subordinate to the primordial world, was not so simple behind the scenes.
There are three Mummy movies in total. Although the first two are set in Egypt, they clearly mention the existence of 'Anubis, the god of death'.
Legend has it that the Fountain of Youth is a legacy left behind by the Queen Mother of the West after she attained enlightenment, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.
If this is true, then it means that not only do gods exist in the West, but there may also be immortals in the East. Thinking of this, Li Ling made a guess.
This world, as a minor world, is attached to the primordial world. According to the system, there are three thousand major worlds under the primordial world, and each major world has three thousand middle worlds. Based on this, the mummy's minor world should be under these countless middle worlds.
The only question is whether Anubis, the god of death, and these human beings are from the Middle Thousand World or the Great Thousand World.
The possibility of it originating from the primordial world is virtually nonexistent.
Because breaking through the barriers between worlds requires paying a considerable price.
As you can see, when Chi You was reincarnated and fought against the Yellow Emperor, he also possessed the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although Chi You was ultimately defeated and sealed away, and his soul was injured, he was still a great man even after he was dead. Even so, when he crossed the world barrier, he ended up with a broken primordial spirit.
Furthermore, although the film mentions Anubis, the god of death, he never actually appears in person.
This also makes it clear that even if these gods wanted to interfere in human affairs, it wouldn't be so easy.
Of course, all of this is just Li Ling's own speculation. As for whether it is true or not, we can only wait until he goes out to verify it.
…………
Just as Li Ling broke free from the power of the curse, at the edge of the world, in Shangri-La.
This place is extremely cold and covered in snow all year round, like a glacial world, covered by a vast expanse of snow.
Hidden deep within the vast snow-capped mountains lies a secret paradise, a veritable fairyland: Shangri-La.
The witch 'Aster' resides in the secret realm. She has lived here ever since she sealed the Dragon Emperor with a curse two thousand years ago, guarding the Fountain of Youth.
The moment Li Ling broke the seal, the witch Ziyuan's expression changed drastically, and she looked up at the east.
"It seems something has happened at the Qin Mausoleum!"
The curse seal was placed by the witch Shion, so he could naturally sense that the Dragon Emperor's seal had disappeared.
"Xiaolin, go down the mountain and take a look at the Qin Mausoleum." The witch Ziyuan pondered for a while before calling her daughter Xiaolin and instructing her.
“Mother, without the Fountain of Youth, how could the tyrant possibly be resurrected? Aren’t you overthinking this?” asked Xiaolin, the daughter of the witch Shion.
"I have a bad feeling, a premonition of impending doom, and just now I really sensed that the seal broke!" The witch Shion shook her head and said.
"In that case, I'll go and see for myself. If the tyrant has truly awakened, then I'll kill him with this sword!"
Xiaolin took out a magnificent sword, which was the Dragon Emperor's sword back then, and also the only sword in the world capable of killing the Dragon Emperor.
In the original novel, several mortals were able to kill the Dragon Emperor using this sword.
Because this sword is imbued with the Dragon Emperor's aura, it is the only thing capable of breaking through the Dragon Emperor's immortality.
Zi Yuan harbors a deep hatred for the Dragon Emperor, and under her two thousand years of upbringing, her daughter Xiao Lin naturally shares this attitude.
"Remember, we must not let him awaken the Qin army, or it will be a catastrophe for the people!"
No one knew the Qin army's strength better than Ziyuan. If the Dragon Emperor were to awaken the army and allow them to cross the Great Wall and gain immortality, then based on her understanding of the Dragon Emperor, the entire world would likely be plunged into calamity.
"I know, my daughter!" Xiaolin nodded upon hearing this.
"Be careful on the road."
Although Xiaolin is skilled in martial arts and possesses an immortal body, the world is different now. It is already the era of firearms, and China is currently in chaos due to war. It would still be very dangerous for Xiaolin to be alone abroad.
After all, immortality only grants longevity, but it doesn't increase an individual's combat power.
Ziyuan could never have imagined that although the Dragon Emperor had awakened, he was no longer the same Dragon Emperor. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate entity or event.)

Chapter 223: General Yang, a Loyal Minister of the Family
Amidst a vast expanse of yellow sand, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
"Boom!"
As the ground collapsed, a cloud of yellow sand instantly billowed out, sweeping in all directions.
"Tap~ Tap~"
As the swirling yellow sand settled, the scene became clear, revealing a massive mausoleum on the ground, from which a figure emerged.
The figure slowly stepped forward, his steps stiff, his whole body making a 'crackling' sound as he moved. When it became clear, it was a human-shaped terracotta figure, none other than Li Ling, who had come out of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
