Chapter 382: You Dare To Stake A Place Here When You Are Not Even A Sage?
Wondrous-looking divine runes were carved onto this door, including ten peerless divine birds.
They were like mighty suns, subtly merging into one and possessing boundless mysticism.
Thereafter, a void path appeared.
A tremendous, magnificent, and untouchable feeling of suppression wafted out, making everyone’s hair stand on end.
Even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura was vibrating intensely. It was clear that the power of this aura was enough to threaten him.
“This pathway should lead to the tomb’s central region.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s voice was mild. “But it looks like this tomb is ever-changing, and we won’t know if we will encounter good things or dangers. We must consider carefully whether we move forward or retreat.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus took a brand new set of robes out of his storage ring and said brazenly, “Since we are already here, what’s there to be afraid of?”
I was burned by those two evil beasts and had to give a Sage artifact to my Junior Brother. I have suffered such massive losses!
I won’t rest easy until I get some treasures from the tomb’s central region!
Hmph! It is all that Da Li Sacred Leader and his party’s fault. Those Golden Crows wouldn’t have ambushed me if I hadn’t tried to save them.
When we return, I must find a chance to beat up those fellows!
As Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus harbored those nasty thoughts, the Da Li Sacred Leader and his party were already thanking the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was situated in Eastern Wilderness and did not come into regular contact with the Da Li Sacred Ground, the five regions were not considered a big place to a Sage cultivator.
There was a high chance that these cultivators would encounter each other again in future major battles and the openings of all sorts of mystic realms.
If they could suck up to someone like the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, it would definitely be beneficial to those Da Li folks.
One could never have too many allies!
“Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, we have not met in hundreds of years. You are truly outstanding and mighty.
“If not for your help, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Thank you, Brother Longyuan! I will never be able to fully repay you for saving our lives. Please accept this supreme-grade Spirit artifact, the Amber Divine Sword. I hope you won’t find it too inferior.”
“I have carefully cultivated this Snow Lotus for over 3,000 years. It is a true Sage herb. Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, please accept this as a sign of my gratitude for saving my life.”
...
One by one, all sorts of treasures were offered to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus went green with envy at the sight.
He could have been on the receiving end of these presents!
Damn Junior Brother! How dare he steal my fortuitous opportunity!?
Those two crow heads should have been mine!
Of course, those practitioners would not have been so generous if it was just to repay a simple act of saving their lives.
It was clear that this pathway, which had suddenly appeared, led to some unfathomable place. There might be some great fortuitous opportunity inside or some great danger.
It was very important to suck up to someone like the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader at a time like this.
People who knew how to move with the times lived longer.
“Everyone, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Cultivators like us should help each other. If you all don’t mind, you can continue this journey with me.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s voice was mild, and his lightning and heavenly aura rippled gently. He kept the treasures one by one, systematically and carefully.
Thereafter, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader led the group over to the red-gold door.
As the surrounding fabrics of space started to shift, everyone could feel that they were indeed entering the deeper regions of the tomb.
This was because the Thearch’s aura was becoming increasingly dense.
Even the Da Li Sacred Leader, who was a Sage who had undergone tribulation, could feel his soul shudder.
It was clear that this aura was being exuded by a practitioner that was far beyond any of them. Perhaps it was the legendary Golden Crow Thearch!
“Although those two Golden Crows chased us, they led us to this door.”
“Yes, sometimes good and bad luck are just different sides of the same coin. Perhaps this is when an extreme misfortune will turn to bliss!”
“I think we might be the first to enter the central region of the Thearch tomb and decipher a peerless sutra. If we are lucky, we might even get a treasure left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch!”
“Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, this is all thanks to you. If there are any extraordinary treasures in this central region, you will have first pick!”
...
The group whispered as they progressed down the pathway, their eyes burning bright.
It was definitely a great piece of luck to have discovered the pathway into the central region of the Thearch tomb just within days of the place’s opening.
It should be pointed out the Thearch tomb in Middle Ground only opened once every several hundred or even 1,000 years. And the core region had never opened before. This was the key place where the Thearch had left his legacy.
Generally, only those who gained the Thearch’s recognition could enter. Otherwise, no matter how carefully one explored the tomb, they might never find it.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said mildly, “Everyone, please remain on your guard. This central region might not be safe.
“In addition, even if there is really a great fortuitous opportunity here, we might not be the first people to have entered here. Someone might have come before us.”
The Da Li Sacred Leader was taken aback. “How can that be possible!?”
It should be pointed out that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had only managed to activate this door after killing those two Golden Crow vengeful spirits.
Who else in this tomb had his battle prowess?
It was unthinkable!
The others remained silent, but they also had doubts in their eyes. It was already a miracle that there were people as freakishly powerful as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
If there was someone even more powerful than those two, wouldn’t the rest of them just be a bunch of useless garbage?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Rumble!
The passageway trembled gently, indicating that they had arrived at their destination.
A strange light appeared, and scorching air surged toward them as if it was a sea of fire. If not for the fact that they were all strong practitioners with deep cultivation, just this extreme heat alone might have killed them.
“This is a unique Small World!”
Everyone’s eyes widened significantly when they saw what was in front of them.
It was a barren flatland. There were no signs of life at all.
Ten suns hung in the sky above the flatland. One of them was especially massive, dazzling so magnificently that none of the cultivators would think to underestimate it.
The other nine suns were half its size, and they surrounded the massive sun. The image was similar to some of the runes on that door.
Under the blazing heat of the ten suns, the entire earth was dry and cracked. There was nothing green at all for miles and miles.
Even if a plant managed to grow here, it was one of those special spirit herbs that was fiery red.
...
At the center of this flatland was a gigantic volcano.
This volcano was at least 10,000 feet in height, with a reddish-gold cauldron floating above the peak.
This reddish-gold cauldron was covered in True Sun Fire, which tainted the surrounding air a reddish-gold color too. It was a peerless Thearch artifact—the Divine Sun Cauldron!
As everyone gazed at that cauldron, they felt a prickling sensation in their eyes, as if they were staring at a great sun.
And suspended around the middle section of that volcano were nine platforms.
On the platform closest to the peak...
Huh? There were some people on it!
