Chapter 1369 Tombʼs Restriction

1369 Tombʼs Restriction

After seeing Tian Yangʼs expression, Elder Sunʼs entire being froze on the spot, her mind blank.

Why didnʼt she tell Tian Yang about the life-saving treasure? Because she wanted to surprise him? Because she didnʼt want it to seem like she cared too much about him? Or was it simply due to negligence?

Elder Sun wouldʼve had a hard time answering Tian Yangʼs question even if he wasnʼt staring at her with such an intense gaze.

”Whatʼs happening there?”

”Did he get rejected or something?”

”Isnʼt he a little too old to cry like a baby?”

The people around them were entertained by the situation.

However, Tian Yang quickly regained control over his emotions and muttered, ”Please take back the life-saving treasure.”

”Huh?” Elder Sunʼs eyes widened with shock.

”W-What are you saying? I donʼt know why youʼre angry, but if youʼre going to explore the tomb—”

”I donʼt care about that. Just take it back, or Iʼll do it my way.”

Seeing the stubborn look on Tian Yangʼs face, Elder Sun merely sighed and silently retrieved the life-saving treasure from his body.

”There, are you—”

Right as Elder Sun opened her mouth to speak, Tian Yang suddenly bowed to her and said, ”Thank you for everything until now, Senior Sun.”

Without explaining further, Tian Yang turned around and walked away, leaving Elder Sun completely dumbfounded.

ʼWhat is this feeling in my heart? Why does it hurt so much? Heʼs just a mere disciple…ʼ Elder Sun wondered to herself as she watched Tian Yangʼs figure disappear into the crowd, as sheʼd never felt such an emotion before.

After witnessing what unfolded before him, Kulas spoke in a solemn tone, ”I donʼt know what happened to him, but he was in a miserable shape when I found him, almost as if he witnessed his lover being killed before his eyes. Good luck.”

Kulas went after Tian Yang, leaving Elder Sun alone in a daze.

A few people in the crowd saw this as an opportunity to approach Elder Sun.

”Excuse me, fairy—”

”Stay away from me, you worms.”

Elder Sun suddenly glared at them with intense killing intent, sending chills down their entire being.

Her presence was so immense that it attracted the attention of several experts.

”W-What is that woman doing here…?”

”I almost didnʼt recognize her because of her cultivation, but isnʼt she...?”

These experts recognized her after staring at her face for a moment, their faces filled with surprise after realizing her identity.

Meanwhile, Tian Yang finally stopped moving after moving far away from his original location.

After calming down, he realized that heʼd directed some of his self-hatred toward Elder Sun after learning that she was responsible for saving him from certain death.

ʼAh… Iʼm truly pathetic…ʼ he sighed inwardly.

While it was true that Elder Sun had secretly hidden a life-

saving treasure in his body, it wasnʼt done out of malice but because she was worried for him.

ʼDespite that, I pushed my responsibility to her when I saw a chance. If it werenʼt for Senior Sun, I wouldnʼt have survived long enough to bond with Huang Xiao Li, much less spend so much time with her…ʼ

Tian Yang realized that he shouldʼve thanked Elder Sun instead of cutting ties with her.

ʼHowever, this might be for the best. I have relied on her for many years—ever since I was an Outer Disciple. I cannot rely on her to save me every time my life is in danger for the rest of my life, or I will never truly become strong.”

He knew that heʼd messed up his relationship with Elder Sun, but he also understood that he could not rely on her forever.

It was a bitter way to end such a good relationship, and he might even regret it until the end of time, but there was no going back.

”There you are.” Kulas eventually caught up to him.

”Sorry you had to see that, and I even left you back there.” Tian Yang said to him.

Kulas did not immediately respond, as he was too distracted by Tian Yangʼs expression.

”You can still go back and apologize to her,” he said a moment later.

Tian Yang couldnʼt help but show a bittersweet smile after hearing his words, ”Apologize? Sheʼs not the type to accept an apology like that, and itʼs not like we had a special relationship.”

”Are you sure about that?” Kulas raised an eyebrow.

He then continued, ”Even if that was the case, why did you return the life-saving treasure? That was quite the stupid thing to do if you ask me. Youʼre now going to enter the tomb empty-handed. Donʼt kick yourself later.”

Tian Yang shrugged, ”If I die inside the tomb, that simply means I wasnʼt fated to achieve great things in this life. And because I cut ties with Senior Sun, my death wonʼt bother her as much.”

”What a twisted way of thinking… but I donʼt dislike it.” Kulas chuckled.

He then continued, ”Itʼs a pity, especially since that senior was very pretty.”

”Even if sheʼs the prettiest woman in the world, nothing will happen between us. Sheʼs a sect elder and I am a disciple. We are fated to walk different paths.”

Kulas shook his head, ”Fate works in mysterious ways, and you speak as if you can control or see oneʼs fate, but we both know that isnʼt possible.”

”What—”

Right as Tian Yang opened his mouth to respond, the surroundings suddenly grew rowdy.

”Whatʼs happening? Is the tomb finally open to the rest of us? It should be about that time now.” Tian Yang looked around.

Kulas used his divine sense to see the situation and said, ”Theyʼve returned! The Nine Immortal Clans just left the tomb!”

After a brief pause, he continued, ”But not all of them. Only a dozen people have come out, and we know far more have gone inside. Letʼs see what they have to say.”

Sometime later, those who exited the tomb revealed the situation inside the tomb, which greatly surprised everyone there.

”Regardless of your cultivation— whether you are a Spirit Emperor or a Golden Immortal— your cultivation will be restricted to the ninth-level Spirit King once you enter the tomb, and you are forbidden from leaving the tomb for seven days!”
