The appearance of the side quest made Jun Changxiao speculate that perhaps there was no supreme treasure here, but rather some kind of forbidden land.
However, after waiting another half hour, there was still no movement.
“Everyone.”
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder said: “Let’s all disperse.”
He and other powerful warriors had arrived first and had already been waiting here for seven or eight days.
According to past patterns.
As long as strange phenomena arose, supreme treasures would definitely emerge—they wouldn’t drag on this long.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
Many martial artists at the periphery began to withdraw.
These people knew that with major sect powerhouses here, they couldn’t get a piece of the pie—they were purely spectators. Now that there was no treasure, they could only leave disappointed.
Go on, leave.
All of you leave quickly.
Just leave me alone with Palace Master Xi.
Just as Jun Changxiao was thinking, a Wuhuang exclaimed: “Look, there’s movement in the crater!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The powerful warriors from all sides who were preparing to leave turned back to look. They saw that the originally fist-sized small crater was spreading outward, as if someone had deliberately dug it much larger.
What was strange.
As the crater gradually grew larger, the soil disappeared into thin air!
Gradually.
The small crater extended infinitely outward, finally forming an entrance like a cave!
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
It seemed this should be the entrance to the forbidden land.
But couldn’t you wait until they all left before appearing?!
Whoosh whoosh—
Violent winds howled, stirring up dust everywhere!
Many martial cultivators instinctively raised their arms to block the sandstorm, even closing their eyes.
“Three thousand years.”
“The tomb I’ve been guarding should finally see the light of day.”
“All of you gathered here are fated. Whether you can obtain the treasures within the tomb depends on your individual fortunes.”
A deep and ancient voice suddenly echoed through the strange stone forest.
The faces of several Wuhuang immediately changed dramatically.
The suddenly resounding voice contained a special power that could reach directly into the heart, bringing indescribable震撼!
Jun Changxiao also felt this sensation.
It was as if the voice came from the depths of the starry sky, emanating desolation and emptiness.
Tomb?
Could the emerging cave entrance connect to an underground tomb?
Oh my goodness! Am I being asked to do tomb raiding? But I don’t know how!
Search for dragons among a thousand mountains, see their coils. One coil wrapping is one barrier to pass.
Sect Master Jun recalled a phrase commonly used in feng shui and quickly craned his neck to look around. He discovered this strange stone forest—if you counted them as mountains, there were really quite a lot!
“So there’s no supreme treasure here, but rather a hidden tomb!” The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder realized.
“Whose tomb?”
This was a good question that left everyone confused.
Clearly, no one knew.
The voice just mentioned three thousand years, meaning the tomb was very old—perhaps some predecessor expert’s tomb, which surely contained many rare treasures!
The gazes of the powerful warriors present grew热with intensity.
Jun Changxiao saw this and thought helplessly: “Going in alone is impossible now.”
“Go!”
A Wuhuang said: “Enter first!”
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, he jumped toward the expanding cave entrance!
Bang—
However, just as he was about to drill inside, it was as if he hit a wall and was violently bounced back.
The powerful warriors rushing to follow immediately stopped in their tracks.
Buzz!
Just then, flowing light gathered above the cave entrance like a mirror, forming a barrier.
“An array?”
“Exactly the same as the flight-restricting barrier outside!”
Hearing them say this, Jun Changxiao immediately realized that the array that had blocked his contracted beast’s flight earlier probably wasn’t set up by these sect powerhouses!
Who set it up then?
The system said: “Perhaps it was set up by the tomb guardian?”
The voice that had just sounded said ‘the tomb I’ve been guarding should finally see the light of day’—that meant he was the tomb guardian.
The Wuhuang who had been bounced away steadied himself awkwardly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The corners of the other powerful warriors’ mouths twitched slightly.
Big brother, how hard did you jump down to get震until you immediately vomited blood!
That Wuhuang was also depressed.
He had only jumped down naturally, but it felt like he hit some kind of energy—not only was he bounced back, but his meridians were also injured!
A Wuhuang speculated: “It should be some kind of restriction that can’t be randomly touched!”
“Then how do we get in?”
“Wait!”
The person said: “Wait for the barrier to disappear!”
Jun Changxiao wouldn’t believe him, because after the barrier appeared, the side quest started a 30-minute countdown, which meant he must enter the tomb within the allotted time!
“Everyone.”
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder said: “The desolate voice just said the tomb contains treasures, but it depends on fortune. This old one believes this appearing barrier might be one test, testing whether we have the fortune to enter!”
He worried there might be danger inside the cave—better to let others test the waters first.
“Makes sense!” Old Man Ge agreed.
After brief consideration, others agreed with the Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder’s deduction.
“I’ll try!”
A Wuhuang stepped forward, then leaped up toward the cave entrance.
Bang—
Just like before, he was violently bounced back and fell awkwardly to the ground.
Fortunately, his strength was rather strong—his meridians were only disordered, and he didn’t vomit blood on the spot.
“I’ll go!”
Swish!
Bang—
Magnificently bounced back again.
Next, Old Man Ge and other Wuhuang, even Wuwang, all tested it. They were all震out, as if none had this fortune.
“Damn it!”
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder said anxiously: “How can we get in!”
“Sect Master Jun.”
Old Man Ge said: “Why don’t you try?”
“Well…”
Jun Changxiao said: “Palace Master Xi, will you try with me?”
In case he had the fortune to enter the barrier, he definitely couldn’t leave her alone here.
Old Man Ge and others looked at Xi Jingxuan, all silently speculating—could this be Sect Master Jun’s dao companion, or perhaps a female confidante?
In their view, a young and accomplished sect master like Jun Changxiao must have more than one female confidante at his side.
Actually.
Hahaha, not a single one!
“This woman looks somewhat familiar.”
A Wuwang suddenly remembered: “She’s the Miaohua Palace Master!”
Miaohua Palace?
The Palace Master known as a rare talented woman?
Old Man Ge smiled: “Sect Master Jun and Miaohua Palace Master are both young sect leaders—truly a perfect match of talent and beauty, a union made in heaven.”
Everyone agreed with this statement.
The man was spirited and dashing, the woman was stunningly beautiful.
Both were sect leaders—a perfect match made in heaven.
Xi Jingxuan blushed and quickly lowered her head.
“Let’s go.”
Jun Changxiao didn’t care whether she agreed, grasping her soft small hand.
Xi Jingxuan’s small face immediately turned even more thoroughly red. Just as she was about to instinctively pull away, she felt her body floating up.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two flew toward the cave entrance.
Swish—
The moment they touched the barrier, they融入了进去!
“They got in!”
“They got in!”
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
“Where the fated meet even across a thousand miles, three laughs in vain for one infatuation.”
The desolate and heavy voice sounded again: “The tomb barrier has been broken by a fated pair. The rest of you may enter freely.”
Swish—
As soon as the words fell, the barrier at the cave entrance immediately dissipated.
“Go!”
After brief astonishment, Old Man Ge and other powerful warriors rushed forward, as fast as if急着去投胎!
