C109 Abnormity of Immortal Tomb
"Brat, you don't need to be so confused. The reason why we called you out of the competition is because we have urgent business with you."
Gu Yuan asked in confusion, "What is it?"
At the same time, he was wondering what was going on that caused the Mighty Sky Sect to stop the competition without hesitation.
Wang Bo looked at the Sect Leader and saw him nod. He then continued, "Brat, this matter is related to your aunt."
Upon hearing his aunt, Gu Yuan instantly tensed up. At the same time, he looked at Wang Bo, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing Gu Yuan's anxious expression, Wang Bo did not care anymore and directly said, "Originally, we were prepared to use this competition to train the younger generation, but at the same time, we were also prepared to let the top experts enter the Immortal Graveyard to find herbs to treat your aunt and Bing Lian. However, it's too late now, you must immediately enter the Immortal Graveyard."
Gu Yuan asked, "Did something happen?"
At this moment, Mighty Sky Sect Master opened his mouth and said, "Actually, everything regarding the immortal tomb is our sect's secret. We shouldn't have told you this, but now that things are in a rush, it's not wrong to tell you."
Seeing Gu Yuan's serious expression, Mighty Sky Sect Master continued, "This ancient immortal tomb was left behind from the ancient times. Ever since it was discovered, our big sects have been searching for it, but unfortunately, because it is higher than the limit of the Nascent Soul Stage, we still haven't had the chance to explore it."
Then, Mighty Sky Sect Master and Wang Bo both sighed helplessly, and Mighty Sky Sect Master continued, "After discussion among several big sects, we came up with a plan. Every once in a while, through the rallying power of several big sects, we will hold a youth training competition and select a promising youth to send to the immortal tomb. First, we will explore the immortal tomb to see what exactly it is, and secondly, we can train the younger generation."
"It would be even better if there were any opportunities within it. Although there would be some losses every year, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
Gu Yuan had already guessed this.
However, Mighty Sky Sect Master's expression suddenly changed as he said, "But this year, something unexpected happened."
Gu Yuan hurriedly asked, "What accident?"
This Ancient Immortal Graveyard was related to his aunt's life and safety.
Mighty Sky Sect Master replied, "I don't know why, but just yesterday, an abnormality suddenly occurred in the ancient immortal tomb and the entrance showed signs of closing."
Gu Yuan's face changed drastically when he heard the news.
Wang Bo hurriedly explained: "Kid, compared to you, I can guess the reason why I called you here this time, the entrance to the immortal tomb has already become very unstable, I'm afraid it can only send one person in. If you decide to enter, you still have to take the risk of closing the entrance at any time."
"No need to say anymore, I'll go." Gu Yuan's words were resolute and decisive without a trace of hesitation.
Mighty Sky Sect Master and Wang Bo looked at each other. In their hearts, they admired Gu Yuan's kindness and righteousness.
Wang Bo said, "Brat, to be honest, if it wasn't for the other way, I would definitely not have watched you take the risk. This ancient immortal tomb is incredibly mysterious, we've discovered it for so many years, yet our understanding of it is still in vain."
Gu Yuan said, "Thank you for informing me about this. Rest assured, I will definitely bring back the spiritual herbs that I need."
Seeing that Gu Yuan had decided, the two didn't say anything more. After asking Gu Yuan if he needed anything more, Mighty Sky Sect Master waved his sleeves and a huge mana burst, Gu Yuan had already disappeared from the hall.
"I hope this kid can come back. If he comes back, I will take him as my disciple even if I have to beg for him." Wang Bo said as he looked at the place where Gu Yuan disappeared.
Even Mighty Sky Sect Master's eyes showed appreciation.
Gu Yuan only felt his vision blur before he found himself in a dark forest.
The endless forest was covered by dense branches and leaves, making it look very dark. As soon as they got close, Gu Yuan smelled a rotten smell.
The chilly air was bone-piercing. Gu Yuan couldn't help but shiver as goosebumps appeared on his skin.
With a frown, Gu Yuan walked in without any hesitation. His figure gradually disappeared, as if he had entered the mouth of a huge beast.
Gu Yuan gradually adapted to the dark environment and used his Fangtian Halberd to hack at the branches that blocked his way. At the same time, he scanned his surroundings, being completely on guard, he knew that this was an extremely dangerous immortal tomb, several times more dangerous than any place he had ever been before.
"Gu Yuan decided to carefully explore for a while. Here, he doesn't dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. Otherwise, let alone searching for elixirs, even his life will be in danger." Gu Yuan thought.1
Hiss hiss ~
Just as he was about to cut off a branch, he didn't expect the branch to move. Gu Yuan was shocked. He looked carefully and found it was a grey snake.
With a twist of the Fangtian Halberd in his hand, the little snake shattered into several pieces. The green juice sprayed out and splashed onto Gu Yuan's body.
A strange and unpleasant smell entered Gu Yuan's nose. He frowned in displeasure and didn't pay it any heed as he continued on his way.
…
It had been a full five hours. During this time, he had encountered a few waves of beasts that were not considered powerful and their strength was only at the middle stage of the Innate realm. Gu Yuan easily dealt with them and gained some experience, but he still didn't discover anything.
Licking his dry lips, Gu Yuan regretted that he wasn't prepared enough. If he knew earlier, he would have asked for more details.
Suddenly, Gu Yuan's movements stopped. His ears twitched and he held his breath as if he was concentrating on something.
A few clear sounds of flowing water entered his ears.
Gu Yuan thought about it and decided to drink some water. He just happened to be thirsty.
Not far from where he was running, the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear. Along with the clear sound of flowing water, a clear stream appeared in front of Gu Yuan's eyes.
Gu Yuan looked around and found nothing abnormal. He walked a few steps to the stream, buried his head in the water and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, he raised his head and let out a comfortable sound.
Wiping the water off his face, he mumbled to himself, "I'm dying of thirst."
Hm?
The sky suddenly darkened. Gu Yuan was a bit puzzled: "Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"
Just as he was about to raise his head, he suddenly saw an inverted image in the water. He was so scared that his hair stood on end, and he did not care about the stream in front of him as he fiercely threw himself forward.
Boom!
A loud sound came from behind, the rocks hit Gu Yuan's body, and it was so painful that it hurt his skin.
Gu Yuan stood up and looked at the shore with a serious expression.
The giant black python that was tens of meters long appeared out of nowhere. It raised its head and stared at Gu Yuan with its diamond-shaped eyes.
Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He thought in fear, "I don't even know when this giant python got close to me. If only I reacted a little slower …"
