Chapter 318: Resting Place (2/2)

When Sam and the rest of the candidates entered the place, all they could see is chaos created by the war. The chaos is not just from the war centuries ago, after all, time beats everything. The chaos of that war was erased.

The chaos they saw is from the aftermath of that war which is still going on for centuries. It is caused by the regular battles which occur for the sake of treasures and legacies. They could see the destroyed vegetation and the chaotic mess of cliffs, rocks, and even the seashore was full of carcasses of both beasts and human beings.

”You have one week, search as much as you want and if you can get any treasures or techniques, they are yours. After one week, you can still stay here, but if you encounter any danger, I am not responsible. Even now, if you die in the hands of someone with the same strength, don't expect me to save you guys.

Your mounts will stay here and you can go back to the space gate, whenever you want.”

All the candidates moved away in search of some fortune.

Sam's first destination is a large mountain in the centre of the island.

After nearing the mountain, he could see more traces of battle, many places in the mountain are completely damaged and there are many dead bodies surrounding it.

The runner up team didn't even bother to get near Sam and his friends.

After Sam looked at the mountain, he found a spot to explore and made a camp near it. Philip and Jack decided to check other areas, but they camped together, just to be safe at night.

For the next week, Sam continuously explored the spot he decided up on.

On the sixth day night, he came back to the camp and said to Philip and Jack.

”I think I found something near the foot of the mountain in the north western side. There is a small hole which is connected to a tunnel path which leads under the mountain. There seemed to be something related to the beast cultivation, you guys want to take a look?”

Sam asked both of them. Philip and Jack are not exactly interested in this, as they do not cultivate beast cultivation, but they decided to tag along as the next day is the last one.

The next morning, when they reached the place, they could see a small hole has been uncovered and Sam started enlarging it.

As they enlarged the hole bit by bit, they started encountering some traps. There are many formations and inscriptions in which hindered their progress.

Only by evening, did they encounter the tunnel and they are almost exhausted.

Their progress got slower and they slowly started exploring the tunnel.

As they moved forward, they got more and more careful as the traps increased. Sam's expertise in the formations helped him a lot as he deactivated the traps as soon as they encountered one.

But it is still time consuming.

By the time, they entered the other end of the tunnel, it was already morning.

There are some illuminating devices which are mounted on the walls. Sam looked around and activated a formation by moving a lever and the whole room was illuminated.

They were amazed by what they saw. There are large stone sculptures of the beasts all around the room.

The statues are numerous and there are too many, probably in hundreds. There is a foot- long metallic cylindrical container with a diameter of around three inches placed in front of each statue.

Sam and the other two walked towards the stage and looked at a statue of a human. His face was obscure and couldn't be seen clearly. As soon as they stepped on the stage, a light came out of the statue as a human silhouette came out of it.

”Greetings. You have entered the legacy of the beast faction. I don't know who you are, but this place contains the techniques suitable for a Beast cultivator and each statue here represents a technique related to that type of beast.

Since you found this place, you are destined to attain this fortune, I hope you will make good use of it.

As for how to obtain them.

Every cylindrical object placed in front of the statue holds an extremely high-level technique, which can be a lifesaver and is most suitable for people who are at the Nascent stage and above.

All you have to do is, take the cylindrical container and undergo a test of patience. You have to feed your spiritual energy to the container and wait until it opens. You have to feed the container continuously and the steps for cultivating the technique will be revealed in stages with the progress.

It will take a few months to completely unlock the technique, the test of patience is to see whether you can cultivate the technique or not as it would require a lot of time to cultivate it.

The longer it takes for you to unlock the technique, the higher the quality of the technique is.

I hope you succeed and spread the techniques and won't let them die in this place.”

The silhouette disappeared after the speech and the stone statue of the human crumbled.
