Vol 30 Chapter 24 (1/2)
Book 30, Ancient Cultivator, Chapter 24 – Underground Tombstones
“Worldsplitter stones are born from the very heart of this planet They naturally are even deeper underground than we currently are” Daolord Ink and the Ninedust Sectlord “Do the two of you wish to go now? Would you like to take a stroll around our underground palace and rest a bit first?”
“No need” The Ninedust Sectlord rejected the offer
This was the place where Patriarch Vulturas coe However, the Ninedust Sectlord was an Ancient cultivator and thus knew very well that Patriarch Vulturas had seventy-two Ancient cultivator disciples Although he was a very kind and beneficent man, he never casually transmitted the most powerful techniques he had developed to outsiders At most, he’d transmit some of the second-class techniques he possessed… but the Ninedust Sectlord truly had no interest in those
Just judging froe here but was merely the second Prophet was proof that this ‘ancestral site’ was undoubtedly a terrifyingly ancient place Most likely, it had soends of the Ancient cultivators He could hardly wait to find out
“Let’s just go down and take a look,” Ning said He could tell that this so-called ‘sacred ground’ was still rather wary of them Given the situation, it was best to keep a bit of distance between them
“If that is your decision, then I’ll lead the two of you down” Daolord Inky and allowing Su Youji and Skywind to see and hear as going on once more
“Skywind” Daolord Ink master Skywind “Since you are the Prophet’s disciple, you are naturally perround as well However, you had best not divulge anything you see or hear”
“Understood,” young erness when he thought of hoas about to learn some of the deepest secrets of his homeland
“Let’s go!” Daolord Ink from behind
Whoosh Theycorridor within the palace, quickly arriving at an unfathomably deep doards tunnel
They i Skyith him Skywind certainly didn’t have the ability necessary to oppose the Emperor’s edict! They flew deeper and deeper into the abyss, flying more than three hundred
“So beautiful”
“Si and the others all stared at what appeared before them This enorhts The stone walls glea jade green or deep blue They all emanated faint ripples of power, and as the different types of ripples coursed through them they all felt their souls at peace
“We’ll be there in a short while” Daolord Ink tens of thousands of kilometers with each step
A short while later…
“What’s this?” Ning, the Ninedust Sectlord, Su Youji, and Skywind all stared at as before them in astonishment This enormous cavern was filled with tos, and they stretched off into the distance
Daolord Inkmind pointed up ahead towards the end of the cave, an area which was filled with blurry streaks of rainbow light Vague humanoid silhouettes could be seen there “There are flame demons outside Countless earth devils live at the core of our planet as well, and they are just as powerful as the flame demons However, because their natural habitat is the center of our planet, they aren’t weakened by our forhtest If you orldsplitter stones, you’ll have to find theh the earth devils, find the worldsplitter stones, then escape safely If you aren’t able to escape, then we’ll erect a tomb for you here”
Daolord Inkmind pointed towards theto many of our ancestors and built up over the course of countless years Many ca worldsplitter stones but ended up perishi+ng We weren’t even able to recover their bodies, so we left behind tombstones for them here”
“You spoke of earth devils?” Ning and the Ninedust Sectlord both frowned
“How tough are they?” Ning asked
“Tougher and stronger than the flame demons from the outlands,” Daolord Inkh they are less niher to deal with Ast my people, only Daolods of the Fourth Step are permitted to enter the depths of this abyss in search of worldsplitter stones”
“You saw it yourselves” Daolord Inkestured at the tombstones “All these tombs? They each represent the death of a Daolord of the Fourth Step”
“All of them were Daolords of the Fourth Step?” Skywind, at the very back of the procession, couldn’t help but feel shocked Daolords of the Fourth Step were incredibly rare; hoas it that his homeland had produced over ten thousand of time?
“Howwas astonished “How could so many of them have died here?”
It htshore Kingdom had produced less than a hundred thousand Daolords in total despite the passage of so many years
