Chapter 851 - Getting Answers (1/2)

Lin Mu had been listening to Ku Waowen and memorizing all the information to his best. His control of spirit Qi had returned, as well as the formation array restricting him had stopped working with Ku Waowen getting all but crippled.

He thus took out a jade slip and recorded all that she was saying in it. He knew that in his current state, his mind was unstable and he might not remember everything, thus he let it be recorded.

In fact, Lin Mu didn't even know what had happened to him. He hadn't got the chance to check himself and now needed to focus on the Old woman in front of him. He was doing his best to make sure his mind was as controlled as it could be.

But that was a mountainous task for him.

”What exactly is the inheritance here?” Lin Mu questioned next.

~gulp~

Ku Waowen swallowed the saliva in her mouth, to calm her dry throat, though it wasn't as useful as she thought. Gritting her teeth for a moment, she started to answer.

'This discomfort is better than getting my bones crushed by him.' She reckoned.

”We don't know which expert the inheritance originally belongs to as it has existed here for thousands of years. While it was considered that the number of Immortal Ascension cultivators was well known in the past, it was not so.

There were actually a few that kept out of conflicts and stayed in seclusion the entire time. For all we know, it could be someone that broke through and decided to stay hidden the entire time, but then ended up reaching the end of their life and made a tomb to keep their inheritance.

The one thing Ancestor Kushao did inform us about was that the tomb was rather strange with the type of beasts that it had. They couldn't be controlled at all and grew strong at a rapid speed.

This made him wonder how it was possible, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He discovered that there was a source hidden in the bottom most layer of the tomb. It was behind the beast's growing strong and also powered the entire tomb.

He couldn't unearth it, as it was hidden behind a dense formation array that might collapse the entire place if he prodded it too much. Thus, instead of doing anything to the source itself, he redirected the energy that rose from it and used it to power a teleportation array.

He spent centuries building it and used up a majority of the fortune he had gathered in doing it. Finally in the end, he completed it and returned to the Northern tribes.” Ku Waowen explained.

”He actually returned? He's alive?” Lin Mu asked, feeling shocked.

He had thought that the man was dead the entire time.

”This was a secret kept by the higher ups of the tribe and the juniors don't know that he did. But while he did return to the tribe, he did not live for long. Just two years after he returned, he died due to a strange illness that had spread to him.

All that we got from him was that it was something in this tomb that had led to him getting sick like that. It was also him that warned us not to go into the lowest floor until we were fully prepared, or we would suffer the same thing.
