81: Hero's Tomb
It wasn't that Chu Yunxuan was ruthless and wanted to get rid of them.
Rather, they sought death themselves.
A group of powerhouses kept following him; what else could it be for if not to kill him and seize the Dragon Pearl?
To say he was a lucky star?
Chu Yunxuan's subsequent choices were fraught with danger.
Even so, they still followed him.
It was too obvious.
Even if there were some mistakenly killed.
Then, sorry, this was just how this era was.
Chu Yunxuan wouldn't consider whether the other party had no ill will towards him.
On the other side.
Jiang Ying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She had sustained some injuries.
But they weren't serious.
She casually took out a Heaven-grade source crystal of life, and she recovered almost completely.
Most of the other people had already left.
She waited in place.
Jiang Ying looked around.
"Still not here?"
Jiang Ying also suspected that the dozens of powerhouses who had been following Chu Yunxuan were after the Dragon Pearl.
She believed Chu Yunxuan was also aware of this.
She guessed that Chu Yunxuan sending her away was to make the other party show their hand.
The reason she left was, firstly, she couldn't help against the Law Realm and Domain.
Secondly, she knew that Chu Yunxuan had obtained the lingyin stone from Huang Qianli, and he could unleash the strength of the Celestial Venerable Realm.
However, since he still hadn't appeared, Jiang Ying couldn't help but worry about him.
On the road in the distance, Jiang Ying saw a figure walking over, and her beautiful eyes lit up.
"Hey, over here!"
Jiang Ying waved her hand.
Chu Yunxuan walked over with a smile.
"Where are the others?" Jiang Ying asked.
Chu Yunxuan shrugged his shoulders: "They're probably dead."
"Huh? You took care of them?" Jiang Ying was stunned.
"Not really, we encountered a barrier with two Celestial Venerable Realm Yao Beasts inside; they didn't manage to escape."
"You managed to escape?"
Chu Yunxuan said: "It just so happened that the Dragon Pearl was the key to passing through the barrier."
Jiang Ying was half-skeptical.
"Forget it, as long as you're fine."
"What? You were worried about me?" Chu Yunxuan looked at her with a beaming smile.
"Just kidding, only my suitors worry about me, alright?"
Chu Yunxuan looked at Jiang Ying with a strange gaze.
Jiang Ying felt a chill from Chu Yunxuan's stare.
"What are you looking at?"
She pushed Chu Yunxuan's forehead.
"I just feel like you've fallen for me," Chu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"Ugh—" Jiang Ying made a retching motion.
But it had to be said, Jiang Ying did have a good impression of Chu Yunxuan.
She didn't deny it either.
Chu Yunxuan could see her favorability, which was already at 50.
It would be strange if she didn't have a good impression.
"Let's go," Chu Yunxuan said.
"Mm." Jiang Ying then prepared to move forward.
"Follow me," Chu Yunxuan reminded her.
"Ah?"
Jiang Ying looked at Chu Yunxuan walking in the opposite direction with confusion.
"That's the direction we came from."
"Just follow me."
Jiang Ying followed Chu Yunxuan forward with confusion.
Ahead, Chu Yunxuan stopped.
"What's there?"
Jiang Ying's delicate brows furrowed, not knowing what Chu Yunxuan was up to.
This side was just a barren plain, with nothing at all.
Chu Yunxuan chuckled.
Then, his spiritual energy surged slightly, and he stomped his foot.
At that instant, a majestic aura soared into the sky.
A huge Formation appeared before their eyes.
"Holy crap!" Jiang Ying's red lips slightly parted, her face full of shock.
The moment this Formation appeared, winds surged, and the ground trembled.
After the trembling, Jiang Ying watched with wide eyes as the surrounding environment underwent a drastic change.
The clear sky, in an instant, turned dim.
And the scene before them was like an ancient battlefield.
Broken swords, spears, and halberds were everywhere.
There were also half-buried skeletons.
In front, countless steles stood there.
In the air, a faint murderous aura emerged.
"This?"
Jiang Ying was utterly shocked, then looked at Chu Yunxuan in a daze, asking: "How did you know there was a Formation here?"
Chu Yunxuan said: "When I obtained the Dragon Pearl, I also obtained the map left by the owner of the Spiritual Realm."
"No wonder I always felt you were very familiar with this place. The path you made me take just now, I obtained a Spiritual Artifact that suited me very well."
Jiang Ying found Chu Yunxuan's explanation reasonable.
Otherwise, how could it be explained?
"Then, if the others continue forward..."
Chu Yunxuan: "It's nothing much, there are also some things and dangers, and they can also reach this place, but they'll have to walk a bit further. This is considered the end of the Spiritual Realm."
"Mm."
Jiang Ying and Chu Yunxuan then walked forward.
"Someone!"
Jiang Ying's delicate brows furrowed.
And not just one person.
Chu Yunxuan was not surprised.
According to the fully revealed map System, hundreds of thousands of people would be divided into hundreds of batches.
They would experience different trials and risks and obtain different treasures.
The tens of thousands of people Chu Yunxuan later gathered were considered to have taken a relatively difficult path.
Further ahead, there was a place where one could leave the Spiritual Realm.
Those who kept walking and survived could also reach this place.
The hundreds of different paths for others also had ways to directly come here midway.
It's just that they generally couldn't find them.
A few fated individuals might be able to arrive here early.
But out of hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps only a hundred or so could reach this place in the end.
"Hehe? Jiang Ying?"
Not far away, a figure waved.
"Fairy Instructor?"
They walked over together.
"I knew you guys could make it here, Little Xuanxuan, mwah mwah." Xiao Qiyue blew two air kisses at Chu Yunxuan.
"Mwah mwah." Chu Yunxuan responded.
"Ugh—" Jiang Ying made the motion again.
"Your sister is over there, and Shen Qianjun, a few Geniuses from other cities, all young people," Xiao Qiyue said.
"Faster than us?" Jiang Ying glanced at Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan indicated it was normal.
The most outrageous paths had opportunities to be directly teleported here as soon as one landed.
However, this was the end, but not the ultimate end.
Simply put, it was like the ruins of a powerhouse in a Xuanhuan novel.
This was one of the sub-halls!
There was still the main hall.
Xiao Qiyue said: "Xiao Qiyue and Lin Ya'er were together. Not even an hour after entering the Spiritual Realm, I watched Lin Ya'er get sucked into a wall. In my urgency to save her, I was brought in together. We've been here for a long time now."
Jiang Ying asked: "What is this place?"
Xiao Qiyue replied: "The Heroes' Tomb. These are all the Soul Steles of Human Race powerhouses who have fallen, whom we've more or less heard of."
Xiao Qiyue continued: "This Spiritual Realm owner is quite impressive, to have collected all their Soul Steles and placed them here."
"Soul Steles, they should contain the will and Legacy of the corresponding powerhouses, right? Simply put, if we communicate with the powerhouse's will and gain their approval, we can obtain their Legacy power?" Jiang Ying asked.
"Yes." Xiao Qiyue nodded: "For us Martial Artists, this is indeed an invaluable gain, but it's strange. Xiao Qiyue has tried dozens of Soul Steles, and all have failed. Could it be that even Xiao Qiyue's talent can't gain their approval?"
"What about Lin Ya'er?" Chu Yunxuan asked.
Xiao Qiyue rolled her eyes at Chu Yunxuan: "Lin Ya'er is what you call her?"
"I just like calling her that."
Xiao Qiyue then said to Jiang Ying: "See, see? I told you Little Xuanxuan has perverted thoughts, didn't I? Seeing no blood relation, he definitely has ulterior motives for Lin Ya'er."
"Mm-hmm." Jiang Ying agreed, nodding repeatedly.
Xiao Qiyue then said: "Lin Ya'er is also trying constantly, but she hasn't succeeded yet; she's still trying. However, a few people have already started acquiring Legacies."
Chu Yunxuan and Jiang Ying arrived before a Soul Stele.
Lin Ya'er was sitting there, releasing spiritual energy and communicating.
After a while, the light dissipated.
She opened her beautiful eyes.
"Failed?" Xiao Qiyue asked.
"Mm."
Lin Ya'er nodded slightly.
"Chu Yunxuan."
Seeing Chu Yunxuan, Lin Ya'er showed a surprised expression.
"I told you not to worry about him, he's fine, isn't he?" Xiao Qiyue muttered.
Chu Yunxuan smiled; "Don't worry."
Then he asked: "Which one is Shen Qianjun?"
This Shen Qianjun had some connection to him.
Because he really liked Lin Ya'er.
He had liked her for many years.
He needed to meet him.
