Cultivation Online

’The Sect Master admitted being inferior to a junior before his own disciples?!’ Tian Suyin cried inwardly when she saw this. She almost couldn’t believe her ears.

”Even if we have similar cultivation levels, it won’t change the fact that you’re older than me. ”Anyways, what business do you have with me?”

”I was just wondering why you’re in my humble sect. A genius such as yourself usually doesn’t show up unannounced.”

”I just wanted to see what kind of sect my friend belonged to, that’s all.”

”I see…” Yu Jian’s gaze landed on Tian Yanyu for a second. ”I hope this humble place is to your liking. If you have any troubles or concerns, don’t hesitate to speak with me.”

”I cannot bother the Sect Leader over such minor issues.” Yuan shook his head.

”Please, I insist.” Yu Jian smiled.

And he continued, ”I will stop bothering you now, young friend. If you encounter any problems, show them this medallion.”

He proceeded to hand Yuan a jade medallion that had his name on it.

He turned to look at Tian Suyin next and said, ”I’d like to speak with you whenever you’re available.”

”I-I’m free right now.” She immediately responded with a nervous look on her face.

Yu Jian nodded, and he left the scene with Tian Suyin.

It was obvious why the Sect Leader wanted to speak with Tian Suyin. He wanted to inquire about Yuan’s existence.

In his eyes, a genius like Yuan couldn’t possibly have been born in their world, so it would only be logical to assume that he’d come from the upper heavens. In fact, he’s already heard rumors about the Celestial Emperor sending down powerful experts for reasons that he has yet to learn.

”Looks like we won’t need to ask my mother for the sect’s protection…” Tian Yanyu mumbled in a dazed voice as she watched her mother leave with the Sect Leader.

”Anyways, what do you want to do now? We have a whole week to prepare for the Nameless Emperor’s Tomb.” She then asked.

”Is there a place where I can learn more about the tomb?”

She nodded, ”Yes. We have a library full of information about the place. When do you want to go?”

”Let’s go now.”

”Alright. Follow me.”

Tian Yanyu brought Yuan to the Jade Enlightenment Peak, where all sorts of information and techniques are stored. Naturally, this meant that guests weren’t normally allowed inside even if they had a disciple with them.

However, Yuan had the Sect Leader’s medallion, so Tian Yanyu took the chance and brought him there anyway.

After arriving at the Jade Enlightenment Peak, Tian Yanyu led Yuan to a tall pagoda that had 21 floors.

This building is usually empty, but with the Nameless Emperor’s Tomb near, it was currently crowded with disciples.

”Everything inside this building is related to the Nameless Emperor’s Tomb. You can find others’ experience inside the tomb and already discovered treasures all within this place. I’m going to leave you alone to prepare myself. If you need anything, contact me through this.”

Tian Yanyu handed Yuan her communication jade slip.

”If you encounter any trouble, just flash the Sect Leader’s medallion. It should settle most issues right there and then. Please don’t cause any trouble because I will be responsible for it as your guide.”

”Thank you.” Yuan smiled as he accepted the jade slip.

Tian Yanyu didn’t linger for much longer and left shortly after.

Yuan approached the pagoda, but he was quickly stopped before he could even reach the staircase.

”Hey! You! Stop right there!” A middle-aged woman flew towards him from a distance.

Once she landed, she continued, ”Even if you are an honorary guest, you are not allowed to be here!”

Yuan didn’t say anything and flashed the jade medallion he’d received from their Sect Leader.

The woman’s eyes widened with shock for a moment, and her mouth stuttered as she tried to find the proper words to utter.

After a moment of silence, she cleared her throat and handed him an accessory. ”Hang this around your belt. If you lose it, more people will come to stop you. Now if you’ll excuse me.”

Not wanting to stay around any longer, the woman quickly fled the scene after giving Yuan the accessory.

Yuan continued to approach the steps leading to the pagoda afterward, and sure enough, people would continue to stare at him with some of them even starting to approach him, but when they saw the little accessory hanging on his belt, they stopped and turned around.

Once he was inside, Yuan immediately began sweeping through the scrolls and jade slips on the shelves. And over the next four days, he would not take a step outside of the pagoda, spending all of his time staring at words.

However, even if he was given a month, he wouldn’t be able to read all of the information inside the pagoda, as it had been accumulated throughout tens of thousands of years.

’I have a good grasp of what to expect in the tomb, but I doubt it is enough to prepare me for what I plan on doing… I guess I can only hope for the best…’

Yuan eventually left the pagoda after spending five days inside.

He returned to Tian Yanyu’s living quarters afterward.

”How was it? Did you find the information useful?” Tian Yanyu asked him as she invited him inside.

”Somewhat. I know what to expect in the beginning, but there is too little information about the deeper areas.” He sighed.

”I’m not surprised. Most people that went too deep never returned, after all.”

”How about your preparation? Do you feel prepared for the tomb?” Yuan then asked her.

”No matter how much one prepares, they won’t be prepared enough for the tomb.”She shook her head.

”Anyways, I’m going to spend what little time we have left to meditate and mentally prepare myself. What about you?” Tian Yanyu said.

”I will do the same.”

”You can use the room next to mine.”

”Okay.”

Tian Yanyu returned to her room shortly after.
