Chapter 58: Secret Passage


"Lin Xiao?!" Wenren Yu heard sounds and quickly opened his eyes. He was stunned when he saw Lin Xiao was on the verge of fainting, but immediately sensed the thick and rich Qi surrounding the lake. While a large amount of Qi was beneficial for them, but increasing the density more than 100 times instantly was dangerous.


They were unable to breath properly.


"Meditate!"


Lin Xiao quickly focused his attention to his body and entered deep state of meditation. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he cursed himself internally. He couldn't believe that entering a place with rich Qi like this actually had drawbacks.


Didn't people always say that if they entered the place with rich Qi, they could train faster and advance faster?


Lies! It was all lies!


Rounds of curses already filled Lin Xiao's mind and it was only after some time did he feel that the density decreased slightly to the level where he could breathe properly. Sensing the Qi inside his body, Lin Xiao was astonished.


He would be able to reach Body Training Rank 7 soon!


The Qi helped him to strengthen his bones and flesh. Aside from the painful process where he felt that he was about to suffocate, everything else felt like a dream. Right now, Lin Xiao wouldn't mind even if he had to train in that condition as long as he could advance faster.


Turning his head to Wenren Yu, Lin Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of their socket. He could see that Wenren Yu had already broken through to rank 8. There was no sound and breaking through during body training stage didn't really attract anyone's attention except if they were nearby.


Wenren Yu opened his eyes and looked at his hand. Afterwards, he saw Lin Xiao looking at him with sour expression. He laughed. "I'm already at rank higher than you. It's not weird that I advance faster, right?"


"In that case, I'll train…"


"They're moving,"


Despite wanting to train more, Lin Xiao's eyes automatically landed on the three elders. Their faces were pale as they already retreated back from the lake. By now, they already stood up and began to speak.


Strangely, this time, Lin Xiao and Wenren Yu could hear what they were talking about faintly.


"That damn lake! Why did it suddenly spew so much Qi? I was nearly crushed under such pressure!"


"It's already normal again," Liu Gang said in disdainful tone. He looked at the haggard woman not far from him. "You're usually very strong but this time, you cave in? How useless?"


The woman's eyes narrowed as Qi exploded from her body. As Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had much more Qi compared to those at body training stage. "Do you dare to repeat it again?"


"Hoo, you want to have a bout?" Liu Gang was not afraid.


From afar, Lin Xiao and Wenren Yu felt as if they could understand why Luo Lan and Bai Xin couldn't cooperate with each other. If even their teachers were fighting against each other so openly, it wouldn't be weird if their disciples followed their footsteps.


The only difference was that Liu Gang and the woman wouldn't fight against each other if they were in front of others.


"The door is open. It wouldn't be for long."


"In that case, we're going inside first. And I'll be the one who will get the Emperor Inheritance!"


Splash!


"Damn you! Don't steal a march!"


The three of them disappeared into the water while Wenren Yu and Lin Xiao were stunned. They looked at each other as if asking whether they should follow the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators or not.


"What is Emperor Inheritance?" Lin Xiao asked while pointing to the lake. He was tempted to get inside and try his luck.


Wenren Yu looked at Lin Xiao as if wondering in which rock this ignorant brat popped out. "Emperor Inheritance is the greatest inheritance in this world. It never belonged to someone but anyone who can get Emperor Inheritance will become the Emperor in the future. Of course, there are always those who had such bad luck that they died first before reaching their supposed fate."


Supposed fate?


Seeing Lin Xiao's confused face, Wenren Yu pointed to the lake. "Let's follow them and I'll explain on the way."


"Alright."


"There are a total of 8 Emperor Inheritance in the entire world that represent 8 different things," Wenren Yu started. "One of them is lake and probably it's the one in this place. However, there's no sign of Emperor Inheritance appearing in this world even after such a long time."


Lin Xiao grinned. "Maybe it's waiting for me?"


Wenren Yu: "…" just how high is your confidence?


The two of them entered the water and saw the passage. It was as if the bottom of the lake had become the entrance to something, yet there was no beast guarding the place as if it was empty.


Lin Xiao was about to approach it when the earth shook. His eyes landed on the entrance as he felt it was blocking them from entering.


"Wenren Yu, let's leave."


"What?"


"I don't think it's a good idea to come close to that thing," Lin Xiao replied and pulled Wenren Yu away.


Just as Wenren Yu about to protest, they could hear scream coming from the passage. The violent movement of Qi in the air told them that something bad might have happened. Following afterwards, they could hear the loud roar of beasts as if it shattered the air and water.


'That must be high ranked beast!'


Wenren Yu and Lin Xiao no longer hesitated and quickly ran away from the lake. They were not prepared to lose their lives before they could figure out what was going on with this place.


Maybe, they should just try to enter the lake at some other time in the far future.


It would be much safer.


*Roar*


Hearing the roar once more, Lin Xiao and Wenren Yu dashed into the forest without looking back even once.
