Chapter 883: Only the Higher-Ups Remain

“God Slaying Fist!”

“Heaven Slicing Blade!”

“Origin Sealing Finger!”

…

Yang Jing and the others walked along the passage, staring at the walls around them. They were attracted by all the heavenly techniques around them.

Within the carvings was immense Wisdom. It caused all of the techniques to seem like they were alive. They submerged themselves in the wisdom and felt it for themselves.

“This is definitely the center of the battle where they sealed the gray mist back then. Countless warriors transcended many boundaries when fighting the gray mist. Before they died, they recorded their techniques here!”

“So, finding the path of life doesn’t just grant us safe passage. It even gives us such an amazing reward.”

“These are all ancient techniques. There are even forbidden spells. It’s so terrifying!”

“Thankfully, the expert set up Big Lord Demon and the Left Messenger for us. If we had chosen the wrong way, the losses would’ve been immense!”

…

They were incredibly emotional.

No one would have expected that the cave would have such dense Wisdom contained within it. The power was different from the expert’s. The expert simply exuded the power of Wisdom. It was calm and honest. It could allow others to use it to cultivate themselves. The power of Wisdom here was carved into the walls. It was like an inheritance!

It made them feel like they were being empowered by Wisdom.

It really was fate!

Nanan said earnestly, “All of these were left behind by the warriors back then. Big brother must really want to bring back the glory from back then. That must be why he wants us to learn these techniques.”

Her eyes stared unblinkingly at one of the techniques on the wall—Life and Death Arrow!

That technique happened to work well with her Fallen God Bow.

Furthermore, she had the basics that Li Nianfan had thought her. She quickly saw through the intricacies of the technique, turning it into a killer technique for herself.

“Master rarely teaches us killing techniques. He always waits for us to be enlightened by his words. This is perfect to cover up our flaws.”

Blackie spoke as his eyes stared at the stone walls. He looked at a technique called the Qiankun Palm.

Those techniques that were left behind by Wisdom could only be learned by one person. Thankfully, there were a lot of techniques, and there were not many of them, so they were all able to choose techniques that were suited to them.

If everyone had entered the correct passage earlier, it would definitely have caused a massive fight. Everyone would have slaughtered each other.

Suddenly, power started to erupt from Yang Jing’s body. He could not help but shut his eyes as he started to be enlightened by the technique. His figure slowly turned blurry as a massive illusion covered his whole body. Laws started to form everywhere.

Then, an immense power burst out!

Xiao Chengfeng smiled and said, “Yang Jing has broken through! From a half-step Wisdom Dictator, he’s now a true Wisdom Dictator.”

He was also learning the Sky Slicing Blade and greatly benefitted from it. However, since he was already a Wisdom Dictator, there was no big change.

Other than Yang Jing, Cultivator Junjun and Juling Shen started to break through as well.

On the other side, Big Lord Demon’s group was being attacked.

From the moment they entered the cave, the attacks never stopped. The deeper they went, the more intense the attacks were. When they wanted to turn back, there was already no way out.

“Don’t panic, even if this way is dangerous, our numbers will help us carve a way out!”

“Fight! As long as we get past this place, countless opportunities await us!”

“There’s no longer any room for retreat. We have to grab onto our only chance to live!”

“Actually, there were no paths of life. All the three caves are the same!”

“That’s right, I feel that way, too.”

“My heart feels more at peace hearing then. Let’s move forward!”

…

They consoled themselves as everyone charged forward with reddened eyes.

The only one who was not attacked was Big Lord Demon.

Ever since they entered the cave, he had volunteered to take the helm. After that, he went forward under everyone’s looks of admiration.

He walked in front and was incredibly quick. He had actually left everyone behind, not being attacked at all.

On the Left Messenger’s side, she was pushed forward by Tian Luo the moment they entered the cave.

“You, walk in front. Be our scout!” Tian Luo coldly ordered. Everyone else had a glint in their eyes when they said that, not saying anything else.

It was naturally a good thing if someone was scouting ahead for them, so they were happy for it to happen.

“Fine!”

Left Messenger clenched her teeth.

‘This is too much. You brought me here and you’re asking me to put my life on the line. You’ve forced me into this!

‘I managed to survive from the time of the Seven Realms until now. I’ve avoided and survived countless dangers. Do you think I’ll just take it lying down?

‘Activate, my guiding halo!

‘You have to activate and kill these scumbags!’ she mumbled in her heart as she started to fly forward.

“Hahaha, it feels much better with someone in front.”

Tian Luo let out a pleased smile. “Just look. She’s flown so far ahead and there’s no movement in the cave at all. It’s obvious that this is the safe route. My intuition was right.”

“Cultivator Tian Luo, you’re amazing!”

“I can’t believe I managed to benefit from Tian Luo.”

“Being part of this group is the best decision I’ve ever made.”

…

Sky Three and the others praised before they relaxed.

However, they had only walked two steps when the lightning started to appear everywhere. Tribulation lightning had turned into a snake that was charging at them!

They had just been joking around when the weaker cultivators let out a wail of agony, turning to ash.

“A trap, there’s a trap in this cave!”

“This isn’t the actual safe path, everyone, be careful!”

“Damn, why did nothing happen to that girl in front? She’s just moving forward!”

“Why didn’t the lightning strike her? I don’t believe this!”

“Careful, there’s heavenly fire in front!”

“Oh no, this is bad!”

…

Left Messenger heard the commotion behind her and could not help but turn around to look. When she saw their miserable faces, she could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.

After that, she did not stop and continued forward.

After an hour, Left Messenger and Big Lord Demon both came out of the cave at the same time. They exchanged a glance and let out a surprised expression.

“I have to hide.”

Left Messenger did not dare to remain behind. She looked around and comfortably found a hiding place.

She was worried that Tian Luo would vent his anger on her after he got out. As for any benefits, she did not care for them at all. That was the reason she had been able to survive that long.

It took another two hours for the rest to come out.

However, compared to the large groups that went into the caves, there were only a pitiful number of them left. To put things simply, the weaker ones had died and only the higher-ups were left. Even Sky Five had died.

Sky One looked at everyone before he said, “So, we’re now commanders without troops?”

Sky Three consoled, “Don’t be so sad. It’s obvious that there wasn’t a single safe passage among the three. We’d have to fight our way out of any of them. We’re already lucky enough to be alive. Just look at the ‘safe passage’. The Heavenly Palace’s people haven’t come out at all. They’re probably all dead!”
