Chapter 1374 Kulasʼ Background

1374 Kulasʼ Background

”Your aura feels quite different now.” Kulasʼ voice resounded shortly after Tian Yang emerged from his cultivation.

Tian Yang turned to look at Kulas, who was sitting beside him.

”How long have I been cultivating?” he asked.

”Iʼm not sure since you started before I completed the trial, but I only waited 2 hours.” Kulas shrugged.

”Here you go.” Kulas didnʼt even bother offering his treasure and directly tossed it at Tian Yang, treating it as though it was trash.

Seeing the treasure being tossed gave Tian Yang a scare.

”What are you doing to such a precious treasure?! Are you insane?!” he hastily caught the treasure.

Kulas merely chuckled at his reaction.

”Iʼll count properly this time,” he then said.

”Thanks.”

Tian Yang quickly consumed the treasure, and his cultivation soared to third-level Spirit King.

”That only took you 6 hours,” Kulas said sometime later.

”I cannot get enough of this feeling…” Tian Yang mumbled as he stared at his palms, his entire being surging with spiritual energy.

”Onto the next trial?” Kulas asked.

”Of course.”

They left the place shortly after and began searching for the next trial.

Over the next several months, Tian Yang and Kulas would go from trial to trial without rest.

In the span of eight months, Tian Yang had managed to clear a dozen trials, 8 of them being stone altars and 3 of them being silver altars. The latest trial he cleared was a gold altar, which nearly took his life.

Every single trial had something to do with his past. Eventually, Tian Yang realized that the trials were all making him fight against his heart demon, something that had traumatized him to a certain extent.

Every time he cleared a trial, Tian Yang noticed that his shoulders would feel a little lighter, almost as though an invisible weight were being lifted.

Not only did these trials boost his cultivation, but they also cleared his mind and eased his heart demons.

Tian Yangʼs cultivation soared all the way to eighth-level Spirit King after completing the gold altarʼs trial.

”Youʼre only a level away from the peak of Spirit King.” Kulas smiled.

Tian Yang nodded, ”Once I reach ninth-level Spirit King, we will be able to explore the rest of the tomb.”

Due to how massive the tomb was, finding the trials was a challenge itself. Furthermore, since nobody had a map, they were forced to wander randomly until they found a trial. The longest it took them to find one trial was almost an entire month.

As Tian Yang and Kulas traveled, Tian Yang suddenly asked, ”Iʼve been wondering for a while now, but what kind of background do you come from? Since youʼre willing to give up so many treasures that normal people would kill for, itʼs safe to assume that you come from a wealthy family, right?”

”Youʼre asking me that now?”

Kulas had a slight smile on his face.

Even though theyʼve traveled together for almost a year now, neither of them tried to ask the other any personal questions.

”You donʼt have to answer if you donʼt want to.”

Kulas pondered for a moment and said, ”Iʼll tell you if you tell me about your background first.”

Tian Yang casually nodded without any hesitation, ”I was abandoned shortly after birth, so I donʼt know my birth parents. I was adopted by a single mother who already had a daughter who was a year younger than me. We resided in a small village. My family died when I turned eight, and I have been living alone since then. I joined the Immortal Monastery when I turned 16, and thatʼs where I have been ever since.”

”You grew up in a village…? I didnʼt expect that.” Kulas looked at him with a surprised face.

”Where did you think I was from?” Tian Yang raised an eyebrow.

”Not sure, but definitely not a village. Perhaps a hardworking family in some city? You donʼt look like someone who grew up in a village.”

”Iʼll take that as a compliment…” Tian Yang shook his head. ”Now tell me about your background.”

”Alright…” Kulas nodded.

ʼWhatʼs with the serious expression?ʼ Tian Yang wondered to himself when he noticed Kulasʼ change in expression.

”To be completely honest with you, I came from—”

Right as Kulas opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a voice that Tian Yang did not recognize.

”Look at what we have here! If it isnʼt Kulas!”

Tian Yang and Kulas halted their movements and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, a group of five individuals were slowly approaching them.

Tian Yang did not recognize their faces, but he immediately recognized the uniforms they were wearing.

ʼThey belong to the Immortal Clans!ʼ Tian Yang gritted his teeth as he quickly tried to control his emotions.

Even though it had almost been a year since he encountered the Immortal Clans, he immediately recognized their uniform.

”What do you guys want?” Kulas asked them with a slight frown on his face.

”Nothing, really. But Iʼm curious. Shouldnʼt you be in the second section? What are you doing here in the first section with some nobody?” The person leading the group asked as he glanced at Tian Yang.

”I am merely accompanying a friend, but I donʼt see how that is any of your business,” Kulas responded with a cold expression, something Tian Yang was not used to seeing. In fact, this was Tian Yangʼs first time seeing Kulas acting so seriously.

”A friend? You and this nobody? Are you serious?” The group of five turned to look at Tian Yang with widened eyes, seemingly filled with disbelief.

”Watch your mouth, Gu Lim. I will not let you badmouth my friend in my presence.” Kulas narrowed his eyes.

The person in the front, Gu Lim, laughed out loud, ”That serious Kulas actually befriended a talentless trash thatʼs not even a Spirit Emperor?! Thatʼs hilarious! I wonder how the others will react once they learn of this shocking news!”
