Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482
Magical Beasts are incredibly dense there! Du You’s eyes lit up when he heard this; he came here precisely for the Law Crystals inside those Magical Beasts. Although they are of poor quality and of no use to tier seven, they are useful to himself.
"All of us here have some level of strength; otherwise, who would dare go to such a place. Even so, the people we’ve gathered are still not enough. Fortunately, I’ve heard that other groups have already started to assemble elsewhere. In three days, we will have enough manpower."
"Exactly, those who are not strong enough will stay outside to block the Magical Beasts, while the powerful ones will enter to search. As long as they can find it, they can become the next Divine Spirit. With your strength, you have a great chance."
"Oh, I see. So what’s the deal with this Divine Tomb, who discovered it, and why was it not found before?"
"Haha, you’re overly cautious. This world is vast, and countless Divine Spirits have died in the past. Who knows where some might be? Although the emergence of a Divine Tomb is unbelievable, it’s still within the realm of possibility."
Someone else added, "Yes, we are really lucky this time. It is said that the Divine Spirit who died was of the Fire Class, and the Forbidden Sea was originally transformed from the blood of a deceased Water Class Divine Spirit, who had been suppressing the other’s body underneath. Only recently when the Divine Tomb’s light burst forth did it become visible."
Du You nodded: "I have another question. We are all Professionals, but is it really good to follow the path of Divine Spirits?"
The previous speaker sighed: "What else can we do? The career path for tier seven is too difficult, and the path of Divine Spirits is better by comparison. Even though it involves only one Law, it does not mean there are no chances to reach tier eight. In All Heavens and the Myriad Realms, there are Divine Spirits who have reached tier eight and nine with a single Law. Although we are Professionals, we can also take this path."
Hearing this, Du You nodded and said, "Alright then, I agree."
With that, everyone relaxed a bit, but they didn’t continue to talk much with him, and the eerie atmosphere returned.
"Master, there’s something off about these people," Lin Yucha said with some concern.
Of course, they communicated via a panel, so no sound came from their faces. Du You spoke naturally: "Of course, something is off. I’ve noticed that these people actually recognize me."
"Moreover, when we came over just now, that someone said I have a great chance because of my strength. How did he know I am strong? I haven’t fought or revealed my aura."
Du You did not hide too much, but he did disguise himself a bit. This person could recognize him at a glance, so he must be extremely familiar with Du You. It’s known that Du You is very strong and well-reputed, but he is also incredibly low-profile.
The outside world only has some photos and videos of him that are circulated, and most people wouldn’t recognize Du You upon seeing him. Read full story at novel•fire.net
"Master, if you knew there was something wrong, why would you still go with them?" Lin Yushi asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I have to go. It’s an opportunity. If we were to hunt according to our own pace, who knows how long it would take to gather enough. But with so many Magical Beasts in the Forbidden Sea, this wave might be enough."
"What about the Divine Rank? Are we going to compete for it?"
"How could we? I suspect this is a trap. The survival of such a thing as a Divine Tomb in this world is too unbelievable. Even after a divine war, the number of Divine Spirits would still not be too many; each Divine Spirit is accounted for. After the battle, they surely would have cleaned up the battlefield, so what remains can be counted on one’s fingers."
The Divine Rank is also an extremely important Law Crystal, containing everything about a Divine Spirit, completely different from an ordinary Law Crystal. A Divine Spirit can fully absorb a similar Divine Rank, significantly boosting their own strength in a short time.
Du You didn’t believe that the Divine Ranks, these objects useful even to Divine Spirits themselves, would be discarded so carelessly.
Before this world was opened, it surely was searched over and over again by those beings above tier seven. After so many years, countless people have scoured this world in search of a breakthrough path; every inch of land must have been traversed.
The sudden occurrence of this Divine Tomb inclined Du You to believe it was more likely to be a trap. Even if not a trap, Du You also worried it might be a message deliberately released by someone, preparing to use it for some purpose.
Du You thought he might be overly cautious, but the more critical the moment, the more he would be circumspect.
"Besides, I have no intention of taking the path of Divine Spirits. The path that fits me best is the usual advancement. I have laid a solid foundation, so why should I take another Divine Spirit’s path?"
Using a Divine Rank to enhance oneself is indeed very easy, but it would essentially mean copying the path of a previous Divine Spirit. One’s own foundation would be destroyed, and then replaced by the foundation of that Divine Spirit.
For such people, although they might reach tier seven, it is rare for anyone to exceed the cultivation level of the original Divine Rank owner.
Of course, those with unstable foundations and low star ratings would pursue this path. No matter how difficult it is, it at least allows for further progress, while many cannot advance even a single step.
While they were discussing, others were also secretly plotting something. But Du You realized that from time to time, a few people would glance at him, not out of curiosity or wariness, but something else.
Du You became increasingly vigilant in his heart and dared not relax during these three days.
After three days, more than a hundred people had gathered, and only then was it announced they would set out.
After traveling for a whole day, the group arrived at the Forbidden Sea. At first glance, it was a black sea, the water appearing clear. But from a distance, it turned completely black.
An oppressive aura permeated the area; on this Forbidden Sea, everyone’s showcased strength would be suppressed.
No wonder no one wanted to come here; this place was simply the nemesis of all of them. Inside the sea lived some special creatures, some aquatic in nature, and others bizarre in form.
Although lacking special abilities, their bodies were incredibly powerful, and without grasping even a touch of Law, it would be difficult to harm these creatures. Yet inside these creatures, Law Crystals would form, often diverse and all-encompassing. This mix of diverse Law Crystals was also why these Magical Beasts could not use Magic; they could only use it to strengthen their bodies.
In the distance over the sea, suddenly a flash of red light followed by disappearance, making it utterly mysterious as to where it came from.
"You see, over there, that’s where the Divine Tomb is located, though its exact location has not yet been discovered by anyone."
