In just a few breaths’ time, the faint golden light transformed into a golden stream of light, completely entering the compass.
The pointer on the compass began spinning rapidly and soon settled in a specific direction.
Leo silently calculated in his mind, comparing the Eight Trigrams and Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Soon, a look of realization appeared on his face.
Brice and Olivia had never witnessed such a miraculous scene before and were left stunned. Even when Leo walked out of the bedroom, they hadn’t regained their senses.
“Mr. Hampton, your ancestral origin should be in the north, right?” Leo looked at Conrad and asked.
Conrad nodded, “Yes, the Hampton family’s ancestral origin is in Tanta City.”
“Sir, I briefly analyzed your bedroom’s geomancy just now, and forgive me for being frank, but it seems there might be an issue with your ancestral tomb,” Leo said.
Conrad’s face immediately showed worry, “An issue with the ancestral tomb? What should we do, Dr. Bloomer…”
“Sir, since I’m here, I will definitely help you resolve the problem,” Leo assured him, then turned to Brice. “Mr. Hampton, if you want to completely resolve the problem, you’ll need to take me to the location of your ancestral tomb.”
“No problem, Dr. Bloomer. When should we leave?” Brice’s tone was now polite and even respectful.
“The impact of the ancestral tomb issue on Mr. Hampton’s health is increasing, so we shouldn’t delay. Let’s go now!” Leo said.
Conrad stood up unsteadily from the sofa and bowed slightly to Leo, “Dr. Bloomer, I’m counting on you.”
Leo quickly went over to support him and respectfully said, “Mr. Hampton, I can’t allow that. Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any major problems. Leave it to me.”
Tanta was quite far from Langstel, but fortunately, the two cities were connected by a high-speed train, greatly reducing travel time.
The Hampton family’s ancestral tomb was located in Blue Flower Town, not far from the city center of Tanta.
After arriving in Tanta, the two of them directly hired a car and set off.
The driver was a local resident with excellent driving skills and a talkative nature. The three of them chatted along the way, and an hour later, they arrived in Blue Flower Town.
Following Brice’s directions, the driver drove through the town and took a difficult-to-traverse road to the east of the town before finally stopping at the foot of a mountain.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon, and Leo told the driver to wait here for a maximum of two hours before they would return in his car.
The driver was happy since he could make money without driving back empty-handed.
The two of them got out of the car, and Brice pointed ahead to a valley between two small hills not far away. “Dr. Bloomer, my family’s ancestral tomb is in the valley between those two hills.”
Leo squinted his eyes because it was slightly different from what he had expected.
At first glance, this place had conflicting negative energy and wasn’t an auspicious geomancy site. Placing an ancestral tomb in such a location would be detrimental without any benefits.
However, upon closer inspection, Leo noticed some clues. He used Divine Awareness to probe the area and instantly discovered something different, inwardly praising it.
“Mr. Hampton, your family’s ancestral tomb is set up here. I presume it was guided by a geomancy master?” Leo asked.
Brice nodded and replied, “Dr. Bloomer, to be honest, the reason our ancestral tomb is located here is indeed due to the guidance of a master. Originally, the family’s ancestral tomb wasn’t here. It was moved here over sixty years ago under the instructions of my grandfather.”
“Oh?” Leo became curious because geomancy masters wouldn’t easily assist in relocating ancestral tombs, especially in auspicious geomancy sites.
“Your grandfather must have had a close relationship with that geomancy master. How did they meet?” Leo asked again.
Brice thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, “I’m not sure about the specific details. I wasn’t born at that time, but I heard my father say that my grandfather formed a good relationship with a geomancy master while he was serving in the military. With the master’s assistance, they moved the ancestral tomb to this valley.”
Leo nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
Since the Hampton family’s ancestral tomb was located in this place, the path into the valley had been rearranged and was not difficult to traverse.
Soon, several small graves appeared before them.
Leo quickly counted and found a total of nine graves.
The arrangement of the graves was peculiar, forming a straight line. The frontmost grave seemed to be newly built, probably the grave of Brice’s deceased mother.
As soon as they set foot in the valley, Leo suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.
What’s going on!?
Leo quickly used his Divine Awareness to probe the valley, but he didn’t find anything unusual.
Then, Leo took out a talisman from his body.
He asked Brice to stand aside at a distance and then activated the talisman in his hand.
The talisman turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Then, Leo pointed his right hand like a sword and wiped his left and right eyelids.
When Leo opened his eyes and looked again, he saw a different scene.
Suddenly, everything became clear to Leo. No wonder this originally bad geomancy location turned into a treasure trove of geomancy. It turned out that there was…
An ancient tomb!
A hidden tomb, invisible according to geomancy principles. It was known as an illusionary tomb in geomancy.
The illusionary tomb had been mentioned in various geomancy records. It was said that the illusionary tomb wasn’t built underground but on the surface.
How could a tomb be built on the surface?
It was against common sense, and underground tombs were prone to grave robbery, let alone tombs built on the surface.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Yet, someone had done it because if certain conditions were met, building tombs on the surface could be extremely beneficial.
Moreover, it was possible to achieve certain goals that were difficult to accomplish with underground tombs, such as resurrection!
The three basic conditions for building a tomb on the surface were as follows: First, the presence of a dragon vein, a sign of auspicious energy. Second, conflicting negative energy in the area, creating an extremely unfavorable geomancy configuration. And third, the arrangement and transformation done by a highly skilled geomancy master.
Especially the third condition was crucial to ensure the longevity and protection of the illusionary tomb on the surface.
The illusionary tomb in this place was about to emerge.
To emerge meant that the owner of the ancient tomb had been successfully nurtured and was about to be resurrected.
Leo activated his Spiritual Power and took three steps forward, feeling his Spiritual Power becoming somewhat restless and uncontrollable.
This was a land with a dragon vein, filled with auspicious energy. There was indeed a dragon vein beneath the valley.
Extreme circumstances lead to reversals. Once the illusionary tomb emerged, this geomancy treasure trove would once again turn into a place of bad geomancy.
Having the ancestral tomb here would be extremely detrimental to future generations.
“There’s an ancient tomb in this place, Mr. Hampton. Please wait for me here, I’ll go inside and take a look,” Leo said to Brice.
Brice widened his eyes and looked around the valley for a while, then puzzledly said, “Dr. Bloomer, there’s no ancient tomb here. Oh, I see, you mean there’s an ancient tomb underground in this valley, right?”
