Chapter 585 - Ancestorsʼ Tomb

”Another earthquake?” Yuan quickly returned to the immortal caves.

”Is the sky red again?” Yuan asked them when he returned.

”No, the sky hasnʼt changed this time,” Meixiu said after looking outside.

”Is that so…”

Yuan decided to stay at the immortal caves with Meixiu and the others just in case something were to happen, but sometime in the afternoon, Wang Ming showed up at their immortal caves.

”Wang Ming? What happened?”

”Yuan, come with me. We have discovered something new,” he said.

”Really? Letʼs go!”

Wang Ming proceeded to bring Yuan and the others to the Wang Family, where Senior Wang was waiting for their arrival.

”What did you find?” Yuan asked her.

”You probably donʼt know this since we never mentioned it, but we built this place close to our ancestorsʼ tomb, and according to the people who maintain that place, the spiritual energy there has become chaotic and even somewhat menacing. Perhaps there is a clue in that place about the approaching calamity.” Senior Wang said.

And she continued, ”I will be heading there now with the other grand elders. Do you want to come with us?”

”Of course.” Yuan immediately nodded.

”Great. Follow me.”

”Hm? Youʼre not coming?” Yuan asked Wang Ming when he noticed that Wang Ming wasnʼt following them.

”Only the grand elders and family heads are allowed to approach the ancestorsʼ tomb— not including the people that maintain the cleanliness of that place. Of course, youʼre an exception.” Wang Ming said.

”I see…”

”What about us?” Meixiu asked.

Senior Wang looked at them and said, ”You guys can come too.”

After all, she didnʼt have the courage to separate them from Yuan, who could potentially be their savior in this unknown calamity.

The ancestorsʼ tomb was only a few miles away from the Jaded Garden, and it took Yuan and the others about two and a half hours of walking before they arrived at the location.

ʼThatʼs the ancestorsʼ tomb? It looks so familiar to that place…ʼ Yuan thought to himself when he could finally see the ancestorsʼ tomb that somewhat resembled the treasure room inside the Dragon Temple within Cultivation Online.

”The ancestorsʼ tomb was created thousands of years ago, and itʼs where all family heads and grand elders go to rest after they permanently close their eyes.” Senior Wang said to them.

A few more minutes later, they arrived at the front of the tomb, where the other grand elders were present.

”What do you think of this place, Elder Wang?” Senior Hong asked when they arrived.

”Itʼs hard to describe the feeling I am getting, but it definitely feels different than usual,” she said.

Senior Hong nodded and said, ”You donʼt feel it now because youʼre too far away, but if you stand in front of the doors, your body will start to shiver uncontrollably for some reason. Thatʼs why weʼre all standing here, far away from the doors.”

”Have you tried entering the place yet?” Senior Wang asked.

The others shook their heads.

”Then letʼs do that right now— together.” Senior Wang then said.

”Uhh… Shouldnʼt we arm ourselves just in case?” Yuan asked them when they began approaching the tomb.

Senior Wang chuckled and said, ”Arm ourselves? Unless the corpses inside suddenly turned into zombies, thereʼs nothing inside. Furthermore, the doors remain closed unless we have to put a new body inside.”

”Is that so…”

”Donʼt worry. If we suddenly need weapons for whatever reason, there will be plenty inside. When we put our ancestors inside, we also bring their weapons so that they can carry it with them to heaven.” Senior Hong said.

Yuan nodded, and they began approaching the doors.

And just like the grand elders had said, when they arrived in front of the large doors, their bodies began shivering uncontrollably.

However, it was not the type of shivering one would get when they were cold— it was the type that only occurs when one is fearful of something.

”I donʼt like this feeling one bit.” Chu Liuxiang said as she looked at her own hands that were trembling uncontrollably.

”Young Lady, I think we should stay out here. If anything happens to you...” Sebastian said to her with a profound frown on his face.

”If Brother Yuan is going inside, I will be doing the same,” she quickly said.

”How come you are fine, Yuan?” Meixiu noticed that Yuan was the only person there that wasnʼt shivering.

”Eh? I donʼt know. I donʼt really feel anything,” he shrugged.

”In fact, my body feels a little warmer than usual.”

”Warm?” Everyone there raised their eyebrows.

A moment later, all six grand elders retrieved a golden key before inserting them inside the six keyholes in the center of the door.

”One, two, three.”

At the count of three, they turned the keys simultaneously, unlocking the doors that hasnʼt been opened for at least a hundred years.

Upon opening the doors, they were immediately greeted by a hallway with the only light source being the dimmed lights on the walls.

”Letʼs go.” Senior Wang said to them after retrieving the key.

Yuan and the others proceeded to follow the grand elders inside the tomb.

Once inside the tomb, their bodies would miraculously stop shivering.

However, it was the complete opposite for Yuan, whose body would gradually become warmer the deeper they entered the tomb, almost as if his body was reacting to something within the tomb.

After walking for a few minutes, they would arrive in this massive room at the end of the hallway.

Inside this room that was as large as two football fields, there were hundreds of coffins and display cases with weapons neatly arranged.

ʼWow…ʼ Yuan and the others were immediately in awe after seeing the place that looked like a historic site more than anything.

”Do you guys see anything out of the ordinary? I donʼt.” Senior Wang asked the other grand elders after looking around.

”Nope. I donʼt see anything different, either.”

”Everything looks normal to me.”

They all expressed the same thoughts.
