1370 Entering Han Zexian's Tomb
"Our cultivations are restricted to the peak of Spirit King? What about those already below that level?" Someone inquired, as he was only a third-level Spirit King.
"Then you will simply remain at that level."
This information caused an uproar.
"So those below ninth-level Spirit King are at a severe disadvantage?!"
"What's the point of restricting our cultivation when those above peak Spirit King are still able to squash everyone else with superior techniques and experience? Aren't they trying to even the playing field with the limit?"
"What about the tomb itself? What kind of environment is it?" Someone else asked.
"The tomb is divided into two sections. The first section of the tomb is trial-based, where those below the ninth-level Spirit King are able to do trials for cultivation resources. These resources are incredibly rare and potent and would allow even a Spirit Lord to reach peak Spirit King in a short time. However, these resources cannot be taken out of the tomb, so you'll have to use them before leaving."
Tian Yang's eyes lit ablaze with excitement after hearing this information. He couldn't be any happier to hear that he could quickly raise his cultivation inside the tomb.
"In the second section, a vast expanse filled with mysteries and powerful magical beasts could be explored freely. The scale of this tomb is unfathomably massive, and it's not a place one could fully experience in a few weeks."
"What do you think?" Kulas suddenly asked.
"I'll be spending all of my time doing trials until I reach peak Spirit King," he calmly said. "I know I said that I'd explore the tomb with you, but this is not something I can give up, nor is there a point for those below Spirit King to explore any further."
Kulas nodded, "I understand, but worry not, I didn't intend on going straight to the second section in the first place. My real purpose of visiting the tomb was to train, and I couldn't care less about Han Zexian's legacy."
"These trials sound fun, so I'll do some with you."
Tian Yang nodded.
Sometime later, the representative from the Nine Immortal Clans announced, "It has been seven days since the tomb opened. Han Zexian's tomb is officially open to the public now. However, to prevent a cluster, only 1,000 may enter every 15 minutes. Good luck, fellow cultivators."
The moment he said that, hundreds of people charged into the ground, disappearing from the Desolate Continent.
Since the people in the front went inside first, Tian Yang and Kulas still had to wait awhile before it was their turn.
Several hours later, Tian Yang and Kulas jumped into the portal in the ground, entering the tomb.
The moment they stepped foot into the tomb, Kulas immediately felt his cultivation being suppressed by an unfathomable force, lowering it to the peak of Spirit King.
As for Tian Yang, who was only a Spirit Lord, he didn't feel anything different, but he had a look of awe on his face.
"This is… inside a tomb?" Tian Yang swallowed nervously as he stared at the vast land before him, almost as if he'd entered a different world.
"Is this your first time exploring a tomb?" Kulas asked after seeing his excited face.
"Of course. But you sound experienced."
"No, this is also my first time exploring a tomb—a real one, at least."
"There are fake tombs?"
"Naturally. Those are much smaller in size and are often traps for cultivators."
Kulas then asked, "Where should we go?"
"Unless you have a map, we can only pick a direction and hope for the best." Tian Yang shrugged.
"In other words, leave it to fate, huh?" Kulas smiled.
Tian Yang retrieved his sword and casually tossed it into the sky.
When it landed a moment later, he said, "Let's go where the tip of the sword is directed."
"Sounds fun."
The two of them proceeded to fly in that direction.
Several hours later.
"This place is truly massive. We've traveled for hours, but we've encountered nothing but grass." Kulas sighed.
Right as Kulas finished his sentence, he noticed something appear on the horizon and continued, "I see something up front!"
Sometime later, they landed before the thing that Kulas saw.
There were already hundreds of people there, and they were all sitting silently around a tall altar made of stone.
"What's happening here?" Tian Yang mumbled with a pondering face as they approached the stone altar.
"How can they be so carefree and cultivate out in the open like this? Aren't they worried about getting attacked?" Kulas wondered out loud.
When they reached within a certain distance of the altar, a voice suddenly rang inside their head, "You have entered the trial's area. While inside this area, you are forbidden from attacking another challenger. Rebels will be met with a swift death. When you are ready to start the trial, just say it out loud."
Tian Yang could feel the atmosphere change when he entered the trial area, almost as though he'd been teleported to another place, but the scenery did not change.
"Well, that explains why they seem to carefree…" Kulas shrugged.
Meanwhile, Tian Yang quickly sat down and closed his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he muttered out loud, "Begin trial."
The very next moment, Tian Yang could feel something enter his consciousness, causing him to fall into a trance-like state.
When he opened his eyes a moment later, he found himself in an entirely different place, standing on a small, empty island while being surrounded by water.
"An ocean? Did I get teleported, or is this an illusion?" he wondered out loud as he looked around.
Suddenly, a familiar voice resounded.
"Defeat your opponent to complete the trial."
The very next second, Tian Yang noticed something massive emerging from the water in the distance.
"T-That's…" Tian Yang swallowed nervously when he saw its snake-like figure.
"A Flying Leviathan?!" he exclaimed.
The entity that came out of the water was a Flying Leviathan, and it was soaring towards Tian Yang at a rapid speed.
