Chapter 368: Get out of the Way, Let the Professional Do It! (2/2)

”For you to be able to open this group of immortal tombs proves that you ought to be aware of its value. However, you might not realize the cost that you must bear behind this value.”

The five great cultivators gave off different complexions. After a long time, Feng Yin tentatively opened his mouth. ”This immortal tomb uses the Feng Shui line as its core power to build a suitable magical treasure according to the cause and effect of each word and action of the cultivators. The so-called cost is the experience of the cultivators in their experiential learning inside the tomb.”

This answer was, of course, far from perfect. Admittedly, the basic principle of immortal tomb was just like that. However, this was like going to a restaurant to eat but only calculate the cost of the ingredients, not considering the work of the chef who prepared the dish and the waiter who served the dish. The Feng Shui line power and the cause and effect of the cultivators were merely the basic cost to build the magical treasure. The existence of this group of immortal tomb must have a far more reaching significance.

Sure enough, the voice from the entrance said, ”Those things could not be considered as the cost. The buried treasures in this group of immortal tombs have immeasurable value for you—with all due respect, after tens of thousands of years of slumber, I am quite disappointed to see that today's cultivators of Nine Regions are so weak—however it is not enough of a cost if you want to obtain the buried treasure solely relying on the two words 'experiential learning'. Do you think those people who constructed this group of immortal tombs cared about the experiential learning of the later generations?”

Feng Yin said, ”Then, what exactly do you want?”

”Responsibility.” The voice from the entrance lightly said, ”This group of immortal tombs is an inheritance left by the ancestors. If you want to take away the treasure, you have to inherit the unfulfilled will of the ancestors. This is a must responsibility.”

Feng Yin was not surprised to hear this. It should be said that to open this group of immortal tombs, they have done several years of preparation. Thus, the investigation of this immortal tomb has been carried out thoroughly, which was enough for them to make a preliminary judgment.

”The one who created this group of immortal tombs was a group of great pioneers. For a lofty reason, they built this group of immortal tombs. During this period, they traveled across Nine Regions, even went to distant places in Western Continent and exchanged skills with the sages there, complementing each other. Then, with the knowledge gained from the different continents, they finally completed the group of immortal tombs.”

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood why Golden King's Treasure House and the Group of Immortal Tombs were basically different tunes played with equal skill. And they also vaguely knew the answer of why the key to the group of immortal tombs was in the hands of the Golden King.

However, at the same time, people were also curious. For what purpose the people in the past built such a great building at all cost that didn't make any sense to them?

”You will know the specific reasons once you gradually go deeper. This is not a one-time transaction, but a gradual test. The deeper you go, the more benefits you can get. However, at the same time, the responsibility that you have to shoulder on would also be heavier.”

Suddenly, someone asked, ”What if I just want the benefits without the responsibility? Is there any shortcut to do so?”

Who would dare to ask such a plain shameless question? All the eyes of the people present turned and saw a white-clothed woman, with a long fluttering hair, maliciously smiling.

Behind that woman, several Spirit Sword Sect Elders were trying to stop her from speaking, but was forced back by the woman's invisible sword qi, unable to approach within three feet of her.

The voice from the door was not angry, however. ”That is impossible. When you obtain the treasure, you will naturally shoulder the responsibility.”

”Can't be separated?” w.a.n.g Wu seemed to have already guessed the answer. Her smiling face gradually turned more solemn. She then picked up the wine gourd by her waist and angrily drunk half of its content.

The voice from the door didn't reply to her. After a long time, it just uttered a sigh. ”Talking with the living feels really good. Even if it's just several sentences, it's still better than talking to myself for tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, my strength has already been exhausted. When you guys later explore the immortal tombs, it's both for the ancestors and also for yourself.”

With that, the vortex of nebula in the entrance split itself, and the sound disappeared without a trace. However, after that, the point starlights behind the entrance became even more dazzling. Soon, they joined together into one. This piece of light seemed to silently greet the arrival of people.

The sect leaders of the Five Super Sects looked at each other, and then Feng Yin, on his own initiative, took a step forward. ”As the chairperson of the Excavation Management, I should take the lead.”

Daoist He Tu nodded his head, not opposing it. The first to enter the immortal tomb would likely have the greatest benefits, but they would also very likely to encounter the greatest danger. Therefore, it was best that Feng Yin has volunteered to be the first. Moreover, as the leader of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, it was unsuitable for Daoist He Tu to force himself to the fore.

”I'll go with you. I can't wait even a moment to explore the secret left by the ancient immortals.” While speaking, Supreme Tian Lun also took a step forward, intending to travel together.

For the first exploration of the group of immortal tombs, these two people were enough. Even if other people have the intention to go, they also considered themselves to be unworthy to be a peer of Tian Lun and Feng Yin.

These two sect leaders looked at each other, and then Feng Yin was the first to move, followed by Tian Lun, stepping into the entrance. However, then, in the eyes of all people, a leisurely figure slowly walked toward the entrance. His indescribably confident stance and relaxed att.i.tude seemed to show that the two people at the front were just trailblazers, while he was the real protagonist.

That person was w.a.n.g Lu!
