29 Mention of an old foe. (2/2)
”I see. Tell me, has anyone other than me managed to get past the any of the protective measures and arrive in this world? And if so, were there any noteworthy ones?”
With the tests being based on the strength of the person taking them, Li Yang felt that it was worth at least attempting them. If he arrived at the emerald volcanoes and found that it was too difficult, he could just leave then.
But before he embarked on that journey, he was rather interested in whether or not there had been any other people who managed to arrive safely inside this world. After all, these people might end up becoming his enemies at that point.
”There have been several who managed to get past the protective measures and enter this world, but most chose to leave after attempting the tests to acquire the emblems. As for those that could be called noteworthy, there are only three.”
Getting past the protective measures and arriving at one of the four towns required either great strength, great luck, or great destiny. Because of this, the golem made sure to record the names of everyone who arrived at any of the four towns.
”Xia Yong was someone who managed to enter and leave this place, despite her cultivation only being at the same level as yours. Another one was called Fang Ying. She had slightly higher cultivation than you, but she managed to visit two of the towns before she decided to leave. The last one is the strongest of the people to ever enter this world, he should still be located somewhere in this world, but I do not know quite where. I believe his name was Jing Yimu.”
The bald golem listed the three people it felt were noteworthy, not noticing Li Yang's expression change upon hearing the last two names. Li Yang did not know who Xia Yong was, but he was very familiar with the two last names.
The Fang Ying mentioned by the bald golem might very well be the same Fang Ying that he was looking for. If this really was a tomb for the two of them, it would also explain why the black mist did not harm Li Yang, after all, why would the protective measures in this world harm the person this world was created for?
”Jing Yimu.”
The last name mentioned by the bald golem also caused a strong reaction in Li Yang. Jing Yimu had been one of the people who surrounded and killed Li Yang and Fang Ying. He did not know if it was the same Jing Yimu, but if it was, he would have to be careful that his real identity was not found out.
”I see. Thank you for all the information.”
Li Yang thanked the bald golem one more time. He had gotten a great deal of information about this hidden realm from it, so it was only right that he at least thanked it.
”That is my duty. What is your name? I must save it for the archives.”
The bald golem was still completely emotionless, only focused on completing its duty. Since Li Yang had managed to get past one of the protective measures, no matter how he did it, it was the golem's duty to record his name.
”My name is Li Yang.”
Li Yang answered the golem and then turned around and left the library. He was no longer in the mood to look through the books in the library, he wanted to reach the emerald volcanoes and find out how difficult the tests created by Zhao Feng and the others were.
