Chapter 332: Chapter 332: There’s a World Within
The formation had been broken, and Mo Ziwen and the other two could hardly contain their excitent. “Let’s enter the ancient tomb now!” they said.
Li Shisan wanted to stop them, but at this point, he knew he was powerless to do so.
The ancient tomb lay before them – the final resting place of a Golden Core Realm cultivator. There were undoubtedly treasures inside, but how many remained unknown.
Mo Ziwen led the way into the ancient tomb, with the others following closely behind.
They all understood that even if there were treasures in the ancient tomb, they belonged to whoever found them first.
Such opportunities were rare, perhaps once in a century. If they didn’t seize this mont, it would truly be a huge waste.
The four of them entered the ancient tomb in an instant, and the area once again fell silent as if the fierce battle had never happened.
After silence reigned for about fifteen minutes, soone finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the tomb and stood up to follow.
“We’re going in as well,” said Li Xiaoyao as he rose to his feet.
Jiang Lichun’s eyes sparkled. Now that the formation was broken, it all ca down to personal luck.
Whether or not one could obtain treasures within the ancient tomb was entirely up to chance.
In a quarter of an hour, all the cultivators and martial artists had entered the tomb.
Before entering, Li Xiaoyao took a close look at the gravestone, bowed slightly in front of it, and whispered, “Predecessor Li Changfeng, I beg your understanding for this disturbance. Once I leave the tomb, I will certainly burn so paper money for you.”
After bowing three tis, Jiang Lichun and Li Tu, who were already at the entrance of the tomb, urged anxiously, “Co on, hurry up. Otherwise, all the treasures will be gone.”
As Li Xiaoyao raised his head, a ray of moonlight happened to shine on the “Li” character of the gravestone. Observing it closely, he was astounded to discover that this character “Li” seed a bit off.
The vertical stroke in the middle of the character “Li” reflected a lustrous sheen under the moonlight.
There was a universe hidden within!
Li Xiaoyao felt a small thrill, but kept his composure, saying to the others, “You two go ahead. I need to recite a passage of scripture; otherwise, my conscience won’t be clear.”
“What the hell, since when did you beco so superstitious?” Jiang Lichun cursed. “If you want to recite, then recite. I’m not waiting for you.”
Li Tu hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Brother, I’ll wait for you inside.”
“Hmm,” Li Xiaoyao responded softly, closing his eyes and genuinely going through the motions as if he were reciting scripture.
After finishing the recitation, Li Xiaoyao was the only one left outside the ancient tomb.
He carefully checked his surroundings to make sure no one else was around, then reached out and pressed his fingers against the “Li” character on the tombstone. Applying so force, he prised out a black matte ring.
As the ring lay in the palm of his hand, a look of surprise crossed Li Xiaoyao’s face.
He hadn’t expected to find the first treasure before even entering the tomb.
This was incredibly lucky, but it also stemd from Li Xiaoyao’s respect for his ancestors.
Who would have thought that a plain gravestone could conceal a ring?
Upon close examination of the ring, it appeared to be a common black ring with no distinguishing features.
As his consciousness probed inside, the array of items cramd within made Li Xiaoyao’s expression freeze in surprise.
“Damn, I’m rich!”
Inside the Storage Ring were a large number of Spirit Stones, which he estimated to be in the millions at a glance.
Apart from the Spirit Stones, there were various finished Spiritual dicines and ingredients, as well as weapons and cultivation techniques.
Inside the storage ring was an old cabinet made of Huanghuali wood, exuding a sense of antiquity.
Li Xiaoyao opened the cabinet and took out a thick file folder.
With a sweep of his thoughts, the contents of the folder left Li Xiaoyao sowhat speechless.
The docunts were financial assets left by his ancestor Li Changfeng, but they were mundane riches of the mortal world, which Li Xiaoyao had no interest in.
He casually threw the title transfer docunts back into the ring, bowed three tis to the tombstone as a gesture of thanks for the ring.
Slipping the storage ring onto the index finger of his left hand, Li Xiaoyao, now possessing more storage rings than he could count, decided to transfer everything from the others into the black storage ring.
“Hiss, hiss~”
A chilling sound arose from behind him, making Li Xiaoyao break out in goosebumps almost instantly.
“Young master, be careful!” Nie Xiaoqian’s voice rang out at the sa ti, and Li Xiaoyao almost instinctively sprinted forward, rushing towards the ancient tomb.
Just as his body shot out, Zhu Jiuyin, which had returned at an unknown ti, lunged with its gaping maw, its jaws snapping shut as if to tear the very air apart.
Nie Xiaoqian raised her arm, and with a seemingly gentle flick of her delicate jade hand, a terrifying force was unleashed, sending Zhu Jiuyin’s massive body flying away in an instant.
In the eyes of Zhu Jiuyin, which were red and cold, fear showed for the first ti.
Facing Nie Xiaoqian, it didn’t dare resist even a bit and turned to flee.
“Alright, Miss Xiaoqian, let’s go in,” said Li Xiaoyao, who was sweating coldly, secretly grateful to have the beautiful Nie Xiaoqian by his side.
The ancient tomb was shrouded in darkness, but to Li Xiaoyao, night and day made no difference.
The entrance to the ancient tomb led downward, indicating that it was an underground tomb, not the flat-ground tomb Li Xiaoyao had originally speculated.
Initially, Li Xiaoyao thought that the tomb was made by hollowing out a mountain, but it appeared not to be the case.
As he released his thoughts to cover the entire tomb, Li Xiaoyao was shocked to find that his thoughts seed restricted, only able to extend five ters around him.
What was this situation?
Li Xiaoyao was greatly alard, as this was the first ti his thoughts had failed, leaving him not daring to act recklessly or even to step forward.
Thoughts were one of Li Xiaoyao’s most important abilities, and even when facing cultivators several tis stronger than himself, he could use them to execute unexpected tactics and kill them.
But now, his thoughts were bound by an invisible force, effectively depriving Li Xiaoyao of a third of his strength.
However, the journey had to continue; he couldn’t give up just because the tomb was eerie.
The more mysterious the ancient tomb was, the more treasures it likely contained.
Risk and opportunity existed together, an eternal truth.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaoyao pulled out the Seven Star Ancient Sword and walked forward step by step, remaining vigilant at all tis.
…
Xie Nan, the second wife of the Li Family head in Xuan Country, ca from an extrely large family. Even though it couldn’t compare to the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, it was far beyond any ordinary sect.
Just a few minutes before, Xie Nan had received a ssage passed on by soone on behalf of Li Shisan.
“Madam, could Thirteen have seen it wrong?” a young man by her side said.
