Chapter 3003: A Place of Relic and Fortuitous Encounters

In fact, those who were able to survive more than two months in the harsh environment of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were mostly the stronger Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. Although some of the Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials Duan Ling Tian had met did not comprehend any powers of the laws, they had mastered Duke Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. They were even stronger than Huang Jia Long during the Southern Heaven Combat and possibly on par with Hu Jin Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation. Alas, they encountered Duan Ling Tian and died before they could even react. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, it was incredibly easy for him to kill Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had not comprehended any law.

“Brother Duan, it’s best if you don’t sell the King Grade Celestials that you obtained from those you killed. In fact, it’s best if you don’t sell them at all if you’re not short of Celestial Crystals. If you really have to sell them, at least wait until after you’ve joined one of the Three Sects and Two Clans,” Huang Jia Chao reminded Duan Ling Tian. He was afraid people would seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian’s identity was exposed when selling the King Grade Celestial Weapons.

Initially, Huang Jia Chao was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s monstrous strength. Although his brother, Huang Jia Long, had told him that Duan Ling Tian had gotten even more powerful than before, hearing and seeing for oneself were completely different, after all. However, as time passed, he became accustomed to Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

“Alright, got it.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

As they made their way through a desert, Huang Jia Chao narrowed his eyes. “The guiding force seems to have changed… Is it possible that we’re almost there?”

“I feel it as well.” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow as he looked at the distance. Suddenly, his ears twitched, as if he heard a movement nearby. “There seems to be movements over there.”

Huang Jia Chao looked to the far left, following Duan Ling Tian’s gaze.

They saw something that was aqua blue a few thousand meters away from where they were. Despite the movements, it was not in the direction of the Celestial Lord Temple. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian could sense the movements were getting more and more intense. He was much stronger than Huang Jia Chao, but their Divine Consciousness was almost the same since they were both peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials. Therefore, Huang Jia Chao could sense what Duan Ling Tian sensed as well.

“Let’s head over and have a look!” Curiosity got a hold of Duan Ling Tian. Since it was not too far away from their destination, he headed toward the aqua blue light.

Huang Jia Chao quickly followed suit. With his abilities, it was rather difficult for him to survive in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Since the day he met Duan Ling Tian, all the Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials he encountered and whom Duan Ling Tian killed were extremely strong. Even the weakest was almost as strong as him.

In just a moment, they arrived near the aqua blue thing. It turned out to be a lake. At this moment, the lake’s surface was roiling

“It seems like some people are battling in the lake.” Huang Jia Chao extended his Divine Consciousness into the lake and sensed vibrations in there.

“A battle? In the lake?” Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness into the lake as well. His eyes lit up. “Is it possible that the lake contains treasures or fortuitous encounters?”

In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there were many treasures and fortuitous encounters. It could be a King Grade Celestial Weapon, a King Grade Celestial Method, Divine Ability, or Cultivation Method, valuable medicinal pills, and even Celestial Talismans. Places that contained these things were casually referred to as places of fortuitous encounters.

“Although nobody has heard of the Celestial Lord Temple, many people had spoken about places of fortuitous encounters in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Jia Chao, it seems like both of us are rather unlucky. We’ve been here for two months now, but this is the first time we ran into a place of relics and fortuitous encounters,” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Huang Jia Chao.

There was a relatively large number of people who had come across places of fortuitous encounters and successfully obtained treasures. Even those who did not come across any place of fortuitous encounters managed to obtain treasures by killing those who possessed the treasures.

During their journey, they had not come across any place of fortuitous encounters at all. Based on the Spatial Rings of some people whom Duan Ling Tian killed, it was clear they had come across places of fortuitous encounters. Some even had two King Grade Celestial Weapons. Since Duan Ling Tian did not know which King Grade originally belonged to his victim and which his victim had just obtained in the lower realm, he did not dare to recklessly use the weapon in fear of exposing his identity. It was better to be cautious since there were many Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials from powerful backgrounds who had entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Huang Jia Chao looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked excitedly, “Should we enter and have a look?” If he were alone, he would not have even approached this place; he would have fled immediately even if he knew it was a place of relics and fortuitous encounters. After all, he was aware of his strength.

“Let’s go!” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

The duo’s bodies flashed and disappeared into the lake. Celestial Origin Energies surged out of their bodies and parted the lake, revealing the bottom of the lake. As the duo moved deeper, the sound of battles grew louder as well. All of sudden, they came to halt; the sounds of battle had abruptly stopped as though what they had heard earlier was just a hallucination. They exchanged a look.

“Is it possible that they’ve discovered us?” Huang Jia Chao asked through Voice Transmission.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly and replied, “Of course. Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to stop so abruptly.”

The duo continued to head deeper into the lake and extended their Divine Consciousness to explore. Soon, they discovered a suspended dilapidated gate that was protected by a Water Barrier Formation. A sword-shaped stone tablet stood at the side of the gate with two clear words carved on it: Sword Tomb. The duo looked at the stone tablet as they passed through the dilapidated gate.

“Sword Tomb… There’s no doubt this is a place of relics and fortuitous encounters. In the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there’s a Celestial Weapon hidden in each place of fortuitous encounters. The Celestial Weapons are King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords using their Celestial Origin Energies over a period of time. These King Grade Celestial Weapons are stronger than ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons since they’d been nurtured by Celestial Lords’ Celestial Origin Energies,” Huang Jia Chao said.

Upon hearing Huang Jia Chao’s words, Duan Ling Tian learned there was such a huge difference between ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons and King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords’ Celestial Origin Energies.

“Since this place is called the Sword Tomb, it must contain a King Grade Celestial Sword that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. The people battling in there must be fighting for that King Grade Celestial Sword,” Huang Jia Long speculated out loud.

As soon as Huang Jia Chao finished speaking, a deep and loud voice rang from inside the Sword Tomb. “Since both of you are here, come in.”

Based on the words, it seemed like the person inside had no intention of ambushing them. Otherwise, he would not have spoken. However, the duo would still probably discover him with their Divine Consciousness since he could not hide himself with a Celestial Talisman. A Celestial Talisman inscribed by a Celestial Duke was more than enough to hide someone from Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jiang Chao’s Divine Consciousness. However, Celestial Talismans were useless in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

After stepping through the dilapidated gate of the Sword Tomb, the duo entered a tunnel that was ten meters long. At the end of the tunnel was a cave. They saw tens of thousands of deep and shallow sword cuts on the cave wall as though someone had been practicing swordplay in the cave. In the deepest part of the cave, they saw a sword-shaped stone platform. Thousands of images of swords in varying shapes and sizes were carved on the stone platform; not one of them looked the same. A simple unadorned giant sword as long as a seven-foot spear behind the stone platform was the most eye-catching thing in the cave. Despite its simple appearance, it shone with seven different colors. Upon closer inspection, they saw the lights were, in fact, sword qis from the sword carvings on the stone platform. The sword qis were constantly surging into the giant sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From time to time, a few sword qis would shoot out from the giant sword and land on the cave wall, leaving marks behind. As it turned out, the cuts on the wall were made by the swords qis.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao stepped into the cave, Duan Ling Tian could acutely sense the killing intent coming from the two people standing in the middle of the cave.

At this moment, their eyes were brimming with hostility when they looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao!
