"Finally done~" Lin Wu said as he stretched his body.
Xiaoge and Jun had just finished the final trial and Lin Wu had been overseeing them the entire ti. It had been about five days since they started their trials and they were finally done.
Unsurprisingly both of them passed each and every trial as failure in even one trial ant that they would not be able to take them again. This was the restriction that was built into the formation and was sothing even Lin Wu could not change easily.
Of course, he already had the basic level inheritance with him thus if he really wanted to he could just directly pass it to soone. But since Lin Wu wanted to gain more parts of the inheritance and the sealed information that ca with it, he needed for the people to pass the trials.
There was an unknown amount of information that was encrypted in the Tomb and the system was barely able to decrypt a small amount from that. He didn't even have an estimate on just how much information there was in it and the easiest way for him to get more right now was to take the opportunity when the new people got the inheritance.
"Let's get them to the next room, shall we? I have to et them too." Lin Wu said and turned around.
"Should I wait outside, master?" The 'Monk'ey beast asked.
"Hmm… you can return to the shrine. I think the two of them will be able to return there on their own after they get the inheritance." Lin Wu replied.
"As you command, master." The 'Monk'ey beast said before teleporting away.
All of Lin Wu's servants now had a limited access to the tomb's formation and could at least use the teleportation and communication formations for their needs. This improved their productivity and speed as well.
Lin Wu anwhile went to the sa hall where he had t Wang Xiong before.
"Need to set up the stage, heheh~" Lin Wu chuckled.
While he was doing this, Jun and Xiaoge were lying on the ground in the final hall where the last trial was held.
~Huu~huu~huu~'
They took deep breaths and seed to be quite tired.
"That… last trial was sothing else." Jun said between his breaths.
"Yes, senior brother. I never expected there to be such creatures and powers in the world. I was sure we were going to die there." Xiaoge said as she wiped the sweat from her brows.
"I know right? Even our real bodies are affected despite never being strained." Jun replied.
"No… I think they were rather strained as well. Our brains were the ones mainly affected and thus the rest of the body had to work hard to make sure it was fine. We're out of breath because our hearts have been working hard as well." Xiaoge explained.
"That's new. For sothing to even affect as a Nascent soul realm cultivator… these trials are sothing else entirely." Jun stated.
"We are far too weak to even comprehend how these trials were made." Xiaoge said.
~chuckle~
"I'm more interested in knowing who made these trials? Didn't senior Monk say we would get so answers here? The trials never said anything." Jun spoke in a curious tone.
"Well, the trials did tell us so things. Didn't you see, the locations that we fought and did the trials in… they were similar to so of the places in the murals. Even so of the beasts seed to be the sa." Xiaoge said.
"The murals don't exactly say much though. The man shown in them seems to be strange too? I an that disaster that he was fighting wasn't it made by him too? Was he the villain or the hero?" Jun asked.
Xiaoge went silent upon hearing this and didn't speak for a minute.
"Xiaoge?" Jun asked in a concerned tone.
"I think… he's both." Xiaoge suddenly said.
"Huh? What?" Jun asked, feeling confused by the sudden random words.
"You asked if the man was a hero or a villain… I think he's both." Xiaoge stated.
"How can he be both? Or do you an he did all that to gain so kind of benefit?" Jun guessed.
"Hmm… that is one of the options. But there are many other reasons that can be, we can't be sure until we see more." Xiaoge replied.
"Will we even see any? I an the trial's voice said this was the last trial and I don't see any path out of here." Jun said feeling doubtful.
~RUMBLE~
And just as he said that, the hall shook lightly and it seed like an earthquake had just happened. The two of them looked and saw that one of the walls of the hall was now moving.
"It can't be… another trial?" Jun muttered.
"No, I think that's… the reward room or sothing," Xiaoge replied.
~TREMBLE ~
The wall had now fully slid down and a new path was opened for the two of them to venture on to. They could see a long passage that headed upwards and it was currently illuminated with a few flickering torches.
~HUU~
The two of them took a deep breath and looked at each other before nodding.
"Let's continue," Jun said.
"Mmhmm." Xiaoge replied and took the first step.
Jun joined her and the two of them entered the new passageway. They walked all the way up as the path turned and curved. About five minutes later they finally reached the end of the path and saw a large dark room in front of them.
The room was pitch black and they could not see anything in it. It was rather surprising since the light of the torches seed to end just at the edge of the entrance. It looked a bit unnatural and made the two disciples a bit wary.
They had already developed their senses to be keen and could pick up when things did not seem right.
"Be careful, it does not seem to be fully safe.." Jun stated.
