The burial ground was at the most western side of the island and was surrounded by mountains .
It was already 6 p . m . when Lin Huang arrived at the valley . The sky was turning dark .
As the setting sun glowed all over the valley, it added beauty to the scenery . A randomly captured photo of the scene could be set as a desktop or mobile wallpaper without the need to choose the perfect angle .
Lin Huang captured a few of the videos as well, sharing them on his social media which he had not logged in to for a long time .
He was not active on social media, and the total number of friends he had was less than ten . Just as he posted the videos, his friend commented within seconds . "That's so beautiful . Where's it?"
Lin Huang then took a look at it and realized the person who had commented was Yi Yeyu . It was evident that she had a lot of free time .
He then replied briefly, "The Cursed Land" . Lin Huang then logged out of his social media as he did not have the time to chat with Yi Yeyu . Even imperial-levels would not put their guards down when they were in the forbidden land, let alone Lin Huang .
As soon as he entered the valley, Lin Huang delved deeper and soon, he was at the deepest point of the valley .
He went completely silent after seeing the scenery in the deepest part of the valley . He had no idea how to describe how he felt at the moment .
Above the ground, white bones entirely covered the ground .
There were several big pits in the valley . Apparently, humans were the ones who had dug them . The deepest pit was hundreds of meters deep . However, when Lin Huang peered into it, what he could see were still the remains of the monsters . Apart from that, he discovered nothing, not even a blade of grass .
There were several versions about the origin of the burial ground that could be found online . However, they sounded ridiculous . Nobody knew the actual reason behind the formation of the ground .
When the island was discovered, the burial ground had already existed for a couple of years .
However, there was a most widespread version, and it was also the one which most people agreed with .
This was what it said: The hidden god's item was at the burial ground of the Cursed Land . The item had dominated all the monsters' souls on the island . When all the monsters died, they returned to the place where the souls were kept . This was the only way where they could achieve peace .
Since many of them believed this, many people dug the burial ground, making it appear thus .
"It's similar to the elephants' graveyard, which people have been talking about on Earth . " Lin Huang remembered that he had heard of this legend before back on Earth .
When the elephants sensed they were near death, they would enter the deep forest during the last few days of their lives . Following the path, they would reach the elephants' graveyard where they were buried .
Of course, Lin Huang could not confirm whether if elephants' graveyards really existed or not .
"It's less likely that it'd be a human-made burial ground . It must be related to the strange story behind the island . If I'm not mistaken, it's the same thing that caused the formation of the burial ground and the curse cast on the island . However, nobody knows what it actually is . Be it an item or a living being, no one can confirm," Lin Huang speculated .
He took a few photos and soon, he activated his Telekinesis . He then began to explore every single corner of the area .
The burial ground was not really big at about 30 square meters . However, due to its depth, Lin Huang had to investigate carefully . The sky had turned completely dark even before the first round of exploration was completed .
Far away in the sky, a red and a purple moon rose from different directions . It was a beautiful and cloudless night with the moonlight glinting off the ground without obstacles . The white bones buried beneath the burial ground looked even whiter .
"It's really a good place for the filming of a horror movie," Lin Huang grumbled . It was even creepier when the moonlight shone on the burial ground .
Despite the sky becoming dark, it had no effect on Lin Huang's investigation . The impact of the light ray on his eyesight was not significant, let alone given his Telekinesis and territorial skill . The investigation effect had nothing to do with the intensity of the light ray .
At night, all the spiritual monsters would become active . However, the burial ground was an exception . There was no living monster here . Even imperial-levels or demigods would intentionally avoid this area . The remains buried beneath the burial ground were different from the rest of the spirits as they would not reanimate back to life and attack others . They seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep forever .
"I have to complete the investigation twice before 10 p . m . After that, I can go back to the hotel and take my supper . I shall sleep after taking my bath . " Lin Huang secretly planned .
At about 8 p . m, Lin Huang was finishing up the first round of investigation at the burial ground .
His Telekinesis penetrated through the gap of the remains and went 4,000 meters deep . However, he still did not manage to get to the deepest part of the burial ground . 4,000 meters was the maximum distance which Lin Huang's Telekinesis could reach to retrieve information in detail . It was not because his Telekinesis power could no longer be extended, but because there was a substantial decrease in his ability to control his Telekinesis and risked deteriorating the accuracy of the investigation .
Lin Huang was expecting to investigate with his Telekinesis in the first round whereby the investigation could be done precisely . If nothing was discovered, he would increase the depth of investigation in which his Telekinesis could reach . It would be fine if the investigation was not precise enough . If anything suspicious was found, he could use his Transformation Card, transforming himself into the Spectre and go underground for a more detailed investigation .
Since the first round of investigation was about to end, Lin Huang seemed disappointed .
He had scanned almost all the remains that were 4,000 meters beneath the ground . The performance of his oracle skill was at its peak as well . Observing all the skeletons that he could see with his eyes, there was nothing .
After a short while, Lin Huang's Telekinesis scanned through the last region of the burial ground .
It penetrated through the gap of the skeletons that were all piled up, resembling a spider web that scattered all around the underground world . His Telekinesis power went deeper and deeper through the gaps and extended thousands of meters away .
The underground world which was 4,000 meters deep was all revealed by Lin Huang's Telekinesis . Even if it was a granule of sand, Lin Huang could clearly identify how many crystal surfaces it had .
However, despite being able to detect things so precisely, Lin Huang could not find anything .
After the first round of investigation, Lin Huang could hardly hide his disappointment . Although it was within his expectations, he was still unwilling to accept the truth .
"Never mind . I shall follow my original plan to carry out the second round of investigation . If I find nothing, I'll just go back to the hotel . "
Lin Huang then turned back, getting ready for the second round of investigation . However, he saw a cliff not far away from him .
"The surface of the cliff is so smooth as if someone cut it out with a saber," Lin Huang mumbled . He then scanned it with his Telekinesis . However, after doing so, his Telekinesis disappeared as if it would never return .
"What's happening? Could the god's item be right there in the mountain?" Lin Huang's eyes brightened as he stared towards the cliff . He never thought he would stumble upon an unexpected discovery just by merely scanning the cliff for fun .
