"Heavens! I have never seen Disciple Tian being pushed around like this before!" "That guest… he's strong!" The disciples were mesmerized by their fight, and some of them even imagined being in Tian Yanyu's shoes. However, none of them could even imagine defeating Yuan, who seemed invincible at the moment. After twenty minutes of going back and forth, Yuan decided to end things with a sword technique. [Vanishing Ghost's Soundless Blade!] Yuan's sword disappeared for a split second, and Tian Yanyu suddenly sensed a wave of Sword Qi fly past her, narrowly missing her. When she sensed Yuan's Sword Qi, her life flashed before her eyes for a second before she realized that she was still alive. The disciples spectating the fight also felt as though their life was suddenly in peril when they felt the Sword Qi despite their distance with some of them even falling on their buttocks. Tian Yanyu fell to her knees afterward, her body soaked in cold sweat. 'W-What was that just now?' She asked herself inwardly. This was her first time experiencing an Ancient-rank sword technique, so her reaction was normal. "Are you okay?" Yuan approached her after putting away his sword. Tian Yanyu didn't immediately respond. Instead, she turned her head to look beside her, and to her horror, there was a deep cut in the floor that stretched for hundreds of meters, and the cut itself was many meters deep, almost as if it had been sliced by a massive sword the size of a building. "L-Looks like I am still underestimating you…" She mumbled in a low voice after forcefully swallowing her saliva that was stuck in her throat. If he'd used this kind of power while fighting the Silent Rippers, he would have erased the Tian Family's residence along with the assassins. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 'Is this his true power… or is he hiding even more strength inside that body of his?' Tian Yanyu looked at Yuan with caution and excitement. Unbeknownst to her, she was witnessing less than 10 percent of Yuan's true prowess. "That was an amazing fight! Senior apprentice-sister Yanyu, introduce your friend to us!" The other disciples suddenly started rushing over. Tian Yanyu greeted her fellow Core Disciples with a smile, "He's Xiao Yang, a friend that I'd met recently." "Senior brother Xiao!" The disciples greeted him with respect. "How old are you, Senior brother Xiao? You don't look any older than us." "I'm nineteen years old." "What?! You're actually that young?!" "What is your cultivation?!" "Are you from the Four Ancient Family?!" The disciples bombarded him with questions. "Hey! You're all getting too close! Stop bothering him and give him some room!" Seeing how the others were getting closer and closer to Yuan, Tian Yanyu quickly acted by pushing them away, acting like his bodyguard. The disciples were surprised by Tian Yanyu's unnatural behavior, so they subconsciously stepped away from Yuan. "Xiao Yang, let's go. There's a briefing that I must attend in a bit. We can continue our tour afterward." Tian Yanyu then said. "Alright." After saying his goodbyes to the other disciples, Yuan left the scene with Tian Yanyu. "Is it just me or did Senior apprentice-sister Yanyu express jealousy just now?" One of the disciples there asked a moment later. "You think so, too?" "I'm not surprised, considering his talent and young age. In fact, I'm even more surprised that I have never heard of him until today." The disciples didn't stay around for too long since they also needed to participate in the upcoming briefing. "What kind of briefing are you going to attend? It seems important." Yuan asked Tian Yanyu as he followed her to another peak. "It's definitely very important, as it affects not only our sect but all of the sects in the Third Heaven." "Oh? Now I am really intrigued." "Every seven years, all of the sects gather to explore the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. I'm sure you've heard of them before. They're basically gravesites created by powerful experts before their death so that they can pass down their legacy to those that pass the trials." "Nameless Emperor's Tomb…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice. "This has been a tradition since ancient times, and even though we've been exploring it for countless years, there are still plenty of powerful treasures to be found inside. There have even been occasions where people from the upper heavens come down specifically to explore the tomb." "Can anyone enter the Nameless Emperor's Tomb? Or do they have to belong to a sect?" Yuan asked. "Anybody can enter the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. However, that isn't recommended, since you won't have any protection, meaning you'll have to fend for yourself if you're attacked, and this is true even if you have a big group with you. Of course, this also applies to those in a sect. If you think the cultivation world is cruel out here, just wait until you go inside. Everything inside could be an enemy." "Are you thinking about going inside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb?" Tian Yanyu asked him at the end. "I'm still thinking about it, but it does sound fun." "If you decide to join, let me know. I can speak with my mother, who can probably get permission to let you wear our uniform while you're inside." "Thank you." Yuan nodded. Sometime later, they arrived in front of a building that looked like someone's residence. "This is my living quarters. I'm going to wash myself before I go to the briefing. You can either stay here and wait for my return or come with me to the briefing. It's all up to you." "I will come with you. I want to learn more about this Nameless Emperor's Tomb, after all." "Alright, then I will see you in a bit." Tian Yanyu disappeared into the bathroom after they entered the building. While Yuan waited for her to come back out, Feng Yuxiang's voice suddenly resounded, "Young Master! I didn't realize this at first since it's been hundreds of years, but do you remember when I said that I'd found the Empyrean Overlord inside a Legacy Tomb 500 years ago? That was the Nameless Emperor's Tomb!" "What?!" Yuan exclaimed after hearing this shocking information.
