Chapter 202 - 169.3 : Tomb Opening (1/2)

Ten days passed since the incident in Kang Treasury House. Arthur didn't do anything particular during this period, he didn't leave his room as there was no need to, he just continued meditating at night and cultivating for the rest of the day. He managed to gain breakthrough to third Grade of the Divine Realm and even reached the middle stages of that Grade, despite this fast power-up, Arthur thought it was actually to slow, at least compared to the past, Lucy.

As he was calmly cultivating, Arthur suddenly opened his eyes and activated [Eyes of The Noble Sea] only to see a surge of Nether Energy rising from the ground, the energy seemed to be dragged by a formless object which then turned it into something else.

Like raging tidal waves, the Nether Energy swirled and winds howled as a numbingly gigantic bronze gate appeared above the city.

Within his room, Arthur stared at the gate using his skill but could only see gray, almost colorless fog enveloping the gate. He instantly knew that the time was right and the gate was opening.

Actually, although it is called opening, the Kang Family cannot open it whenever they want, it's just doable when the gate, which is the portal between this world and the other small realm, becomes weakened.

As he came out of his room and flew to the sky, he could see hundreds, or perhaps, thousands of people flying towards the gate. Soon enough, a crowd of ten thousand people of various races was floating above the city, it was like a dark curtain that blocked the sun rays.

The crowd was soon divided into several large groups, each was a faction of its own or several hundred sect disciples which came for this event from outside the wall.

Arthur, disguising as the usual youth with white, long sleeves, robe, joined a neutral group of rogue cultivators and silently glanced at each of the factions before setting his eyes on the gate, which was still tightly closed.

There was a group belonging to the Pigolo Race with Ti Fuer, one of the two Gods under Ti Eru, the leader of the tribe. Ti Fuer brought a few dozen young disciples who were talented and intended to send them in. Amongst this group, Arthur noticed a familiar figure with an arm missing. She was wearing a green metal armor and a sword on her back. She was Rose, the general who he possessed and forced to cooperate with him.

Ehrendil from the Desert Gargoyles also brought a group and the two powers were glaring at each other, not hiding the hate or killing intent but despite being archenemies, they didn't dare fight it out here as they were not the big bosses this time around.

There were a lot more factions coming from outside of the wall but there were only three that stood out from the rest. The first was a bit strange since it was only a lonely figure floating by herself as everyone stayed away from her. It was the same black-haired girl that tried to steal Arthur's food then unsuccessfully tracked him. She had big power behind her and it was by no means inferior to the powers behind the prodigies of the Green-Leaf Middle Realm.

The second distinguishable power was a bunch of blue-robed juniors with three old men leading them. Just in front of the three elders stood a scholarly young man with an azure robe with a dragon twirling around it. He had handsome facial features and a peaceful look. The young man exuded a unique charm that attracted the gazes towards him and made him shine even more.

This was, without doubt, Kai Min, the person who a lot of people were talking about the last few weeks.

'If that's the Water Cloud Sect then....'

Arthur's eyes narrowed as he fixated his gaze on that group of people and saw an almost invisible figure that couldn't be seen by anyone. It seemed as if it was shrouded with space, or simply blended with it. Arthur didn't spread his sense and activated Appraisal.

Although at the first stages, Appraisal couldn't appraise things from within a limited range, the more he leveled the bigger the range. Basically, the range is as big as the map and he could appraise anything within his eyesight, of course.
