Ye Xiao’s words astonished Hu Xiao but he did not ask anything.
In Hu Xiao’s eyes, since Ye Xiao is related to that Lady who changed his fate, he must definitely be extraordinary.
And, not being poisoned by any poison in the vast Chaos is definitely a sign of an extraordinary.
He led Ye Xiao past the bushes filled with poisonous fog and arrived in front of a mound as high as an elephant. There were complicated runes inscribed on the surface of the mound that were also reinforced by the Divine Inscriptions.
Hu Xiao cut open his thumb and dripped a drop of blood essence at the center of those runes, causing those runes to shine brightly.
Very soon, fragments of blue energy started gathering and a vortex formed. This vortex was the portal that could lead a person inside the Azure Tomb of Ancients.
Ye Xiao did not hesitate. He said goodbye to Hu Xiao and entered the Azure Tomb of the Ancients.
As he entered, he appeared in a vast and complex structure.
“No wonder!”
Ye Xiao exhaled deeply as he observed the surroundings. Everything was exactly how the information given by Queen described this place to be.
According to those pieces of information, the Azure Tomb of Ancients is a vast and complex structure, and it’s shrouded in many secrets. Its name, “Azure,” hints at the predominant color scheme of the place; shades of blue. It is like a miniature world with its own rules and challenges.
This place is just like Deep Sea Abyss, filled with countless dangers, however, unlike the Deep Sea Abyss, this place doesn’t restrict a person’s cultivation.
So, Ye Xiao believed it would not be difficult for him to obtain the Rule Source Crystal.
The information given by Queen defined this forbidden land as similar to a giant maze. It consists of a labyrinthine network of passages, chambers, and open spaces. It’s easy to get lost within its intricate structure. The walls and floors are often adorned with mysterious and intricate patterns that may guide or mislead those who venture inside.
Throughout the Azure Tomb of Ancients, there are several towering pillars and columns. These massive stone structures support the underground spaces and add to the grandeur of the place. Some of them may have ancient inscriptions or carvings, as well as many other opportunities that might cause a warrior’s strength to soar.
However, these places also hide dangers that could instantly kill even the strongest warrior in the Land of Mystic Falls.
There were traps and puzzles scattered throughout the tomb. These are designed to test the wits and agility of those who dare to enter. Some traps may trigger when a warrior steps on pressure plates, while puzzles may require a warrior to solve riddles or manipulate objects in a certain way to progress.
Most importantly, every single trap and puzzle may lead to a warrior’s death.
To navigate the complex structure, a warrior will often encounter bridges and walkways that span deep chasms or cross over subterranean rivers. These passages can be rickety and precarious, so one must tread carefully.
Queen’s information marked a few important pieces. Such as that this tomb is known for its underground waterways and rivers. They flow beneath the stone floors, sometimes in complete darkness. Exploring these rivers can be treacherous, and they may conceal hidden sections or lead to unexpected discoveries.
Hidden sections are scattered throughout the Azure Tomb of Ancients. These sections are concealed behind fake walls, hidden doors, or within the very structure of the maze itself. Inside, a warrior might find ancient relics, forgotten knowledge, or even lurking dangers.
These treasures are also the reason for countless warriors born in the Land of Mystic Falls enter the Azure Tomb of the Ancients even though they know that no one has ever walked out of this forbidden ground alive.
As for the place where the Death Source Crystal is located, according to Queen’s information, there is a grand hall at the heart of the tomb. It is a vast and imposing space with a high ceiling. This hall may have once been a gathering place or a central point of significance within the structure. Its purpose and the secrets it holds remain a mystery.
However, the Death Source Crystal is hidden somewhere inside this grand hall.
There were also a few extra information. Such as that within the tomb, a warrior might come across temple-like structures that are both awe-inspiring and intimidating. These areas often house significant treasures or serve as places of spiritual or historical importance.
When Ye Xiao appeared in the Azure Tomb of the Ancients, he appeared inside a hidden section. This section had three rooms and a hall. Each room’s gate was inscribed with Divine Inscriptions a divine energy was being radiated from them.
As for the hall, it was completely empty. There was nothing here except for a lone pillar. However, there was something very peculiar about this pillar.
For a moment, Ye Xiao wanted to approach the pillar and see what was so strange about it, but then he thought of something and stopped.
He then released his Divine Sense and touched the pillar, causing his Divine Sense to shake slightly as abyssal energy was discharged from the pillar that tried to invade his consciousness through his Divine Sense.
However, Ye Xiao immediately cut off the touched Divine Sense and took out the Infinity Edge Blade.
Hummm~
The moment the Infinity Edge Blade was taken out, it seemed to have sensed something very delicious and hummed before shooting straight at the pillar and stabbing into it.
Abyssal Energy seemed to have been provoked as they exploded and tried to attack the Infinity Edge Blade.
Nevertheless, they were unable to do anything to the blade. The Infinity Edge Blade had entered the devouring mode. No matter how much Abyssal Energy was discharged from the pillar, it greedily devoured them all.
Slowly, its quality and rank started rising.
Through his connection, Ye Xiao could feel how excited the Infinity Edge Blade was at the moment.
“Then you continue to do what you want, I’ll do what I’m here for.”
Hearing Ye Xiao’s words, the Infinity Edge Blade trembled and released a metallic sound, as if agreeing with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and then enveloped the entire Azure Tomb of the Ancients with his Divine Sense.
He did not avoid touching the pillars. But he did cover the portion of Divine Sense touching the pillar with Universe Essence Flame.
This way, even if Abyssal Energy were to erupt, it would be countered and swallowed by the Universe Essence Flame.
“I have to admit that this place is even more peculiar and dangerous than Deep Sea Abyss.”
Ye Xiao sighed greatly and felt that it was no wonder why no one had been able to walk out of this place alive. It is because this place was not something that should have been explored by warriors at the Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm and below at all.
In order to explore this tomb, a warrior has to have the strength of a Mystic Sovereign Realm.
“This place is no less than a hell. Not only is this place filled with all kinds of dangerous traps that could instantly kill anyone below Mystic Sovereign Realm, but there are also Abyssals that could only be found in the Land of Nine Hells. Powerful Exalted Ones are guarding several hidden chambers and treasures. On top of that, several Great Killing Formations are also carved on the gate of multiple rooms. Just touching one would activate the Killing Formation.”
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh.
Once again, he thanked the creator of the Azure Tomb of Ancients for placing restrictions on a person’s cultivation. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to obtain the Death Source Crystal.
Ye Xiao soon located the Grand Hall which was also his target at firsthand, and then directly teleported there.
His aim in coming here was to obtain the Death Source Crystal. As for everything else, they could be left for the fated one to come and take them away.
After all, with his strength, there is no need for him to fight for and take away the treasures scattered throughout the Azure Tomb of the Ancients.
When Ye Xiao appeared in the great hall, he saw seven huge pillars touching the sky. There was no ceiling here, only a dark starry sky. These seven huge pillars were like nine pillars of divine light descending from the heavens, showering the earth.
“These are no ordinary pillars, but the paths that would lead to the actual tomb of ancients!”
Ye Xiao muttered as he observed these seven pillars.
Queen’s information covered everything about this tomb, including the information about these seven pillars.
It is said that in the era when Chaos was born and life started appearing, nine people quickly rose to power.
These nine people came from nine different races: Humans, Heavenly Demons, Abyssals, Sky Immortals, Illusory Shadow Race, Moonlit Elf Race, Shadowflame Dragon Race, Frostborn Race, and Phoenix Ascendant Race.
