Chapter 129 - Trial Caves

Jian and Song Yu have completely recovered and have started to climb towards the first peak. As they started to move they have started to come in contact with two-star beasts.

Since Song Yu can't handle all of them Jian is the one, who is hunting them and harvesting them. Aside from the beasts, there are two-star herbs have also started to be found. 

Many of the herbs are guarded by the two-star beasts. Many of the herbs are new to Jian so he had to fight for each of them.

His collection of two-star herbs was not great as the one-star herbs so he had to harvest each of them. Due to this, they were moving very slowly but they didn't have any problem with it.

Because finding more powerful beasts and high-grade herbs means that they are reaching their peak. It means that it is near them and it would not take much time to reach it.

Jian and Song Yu were moving slowly and were harvesting beasts and herbs. They knew that they are finally going to reach the peak so they continued moving at the same speed. 

Jian had been wary throughout the journey after they stopped for recovering. Because when he checked the peaks of the mountain he had felt the presence of another person aside from them.

The presence he felt was at peak of the mountain so as they were moving towards the peak he have been more careful as he hunts the beasts and herbs. 

He doesn't know if the person is an enemy or a friend so he had to be more careful. Song Yu was also with him so he also had to look after her and if someone sneak attacked he would be able to avoid it but it was different for Song Yu. 

He had not told her about the other person. Because he doesn't want to disturb her concentration towards exploring the tomb.

They have walked for more than five hours but they still had not reached their peak. Jian understood one thing that the peak is at the very top and due to Thunder clouds, he was not able to see so he had formed a hypothesis that when the Thunder clouds get near them then they have reached the peak.

As for now, there was no sign of Thunder clouds. So they continued to move forward. This time Song Yu has not done anything so they didn't need to rest they continue to climb. 

As they were moving slowly by slowly beasts and the quality of the herbs have started to increase. As they move forward they would encounter a stronger beast.

They continued to walk and after moving for three hours they were finally able to feel the Thunder element in the air. They immediately knew the peak of the mountain is near. They increased their speed and started to avoid confrontation with the beasts. 

As they move forward they were able to see a light coming from the forest. They knew that after reaching that light they will reach their peak. They immediately increased their speed. 

In a half-hour, they were only ten meters away from the light. Now they were able to see what was behind the light. They only saw huge space covered in grass and there were no sky towering trees similar to the forest. 

Jian looked at Song Yu and nodded. " we should be careful and prepare yourself"

Song Yu nodded and took out her sword Jian also did the same thing. He kept his star Saber back in the inventory and took out his three-star Saber.

He had not used the new Saber to hunt beasts because one star Saber was more than enough. But now the situation was different so he had been more careful.

He also had activated Star Gaze to get an immediate response if the enemy is on the side of the light. He and Song Yu started to move slowly towards the light. 

Slowly the distance between them reduced in a few minutes they were standing in front of it. For the last time, they looked at each other and at the same time they took a step towards the light. 

As they took the step they felt a light focused directly at their eyes and Jian had activated his ability so they both immensely had to close their eyes and Jian was the one who got more affected by this.

Song Yu had opened her eyes after a few minutes and it took a second to adjust them. She then started to check out the surroundings. 

Jian was the one who got more affected so he needed some time for his eyes to adjust accordingly. A few minutes after Song Yu has opened her eyes Jian also opened them and what he saw left him confused. 

After opening his eyes he saw himself standing on the surface covered in grass. There was not a single tree, herbs or beasts on the surface. 

He looked towards the right side and saw that Song Yu was also checking out the surroundings. He moved forward because he was able to see a peak and he decided to move towards it.

Song Yu saw that Jian was moving towards a peak so she also rushed back and followed him. After walking for a few minutes they suddenly stopped in their tracks. 

Because in front of them a huge tower made of stones was standing and a wall was built on the right side of it. They were able to see something written on it but since they were far away they were not able to read it.

When Jian looked carefully at it he found out the tower is more similar to a small mountain and a route is circled to reach the top of it.

He was also able to find holes in the mountain and they followed a similar route that led to the top of the mountain. Jian again activated Star Gaze and looked at the tower but he was not able to find anything. 

He frowned, he couldn't understand why his ability is not working. He looked at Song Yu and saw that she was also confused. She had also started to look here and there.

He then paid his attention to a wall that had something written on it. With his ability, he was able to see what was written on the wall from a long distance. It took only a few moments to read the whole wall and after he sighed relief. 

"You should go and read what is written on the wall."

Jian had already read and then he told Song Yu to read. Song Yu moved towards the wall while Jian moved towards the first hole on the tower.

The writings on the wall were:

"Welcome to my tomb. Since you can reach here means you have enough qualifications.

But only qualifications are not enough for you to get my inheritance. Look in front of you there is a small mountain with several holes in them. 

The holes in the mountain are trial Caves where you would have to take trial for a cave and only after clearing it you will be allowed to move towards the next hole.

There are several rewards after clearing the caves so you shouldn't worry but the main reward is at top of the mountain so to reach there you would have to clear all caves on the mountain.

Further information will be top of the mountain first clear the first hurdle we can talk about."

Jian finally understood that the holes on the mountain are trial caves where multiple different trials will be held to check the qualifications of disciples. So he told Song Yu to read while he checked the first cave.

While checking his perception was able to see every in the surrounding. He found out that no one was there aside from them meaning the presence he felt before was just in his mind pr the person who was here has moved forward. 

He was not able to find anyone aside from Song Yu and himself so he was finally able to let his guard down and fully focus on finding anything about the cave.

Song Yu has also joined him. She has completed reading the wall and she also understood the meaning behind it. She had come to Jian's side to investigate the cave.

But after investigating for a long time they were not able to find anything. Meaning to find anything they had to start taking the trial.

They both looked at each other and understood their intentions so the same and started to recover. They wanted to be in top condition before they go to the trial cave.

In a half-hour, they were both ready. They moved and took out their weapons and looked at each other and made eye contact before going inside the first cave. They have officially started taking the first trial of the tomb.
