Chapter 434 - Nuggets of Truth(Part-2)

"Arrggghh.."

"Shut up Chianyu no one wants you to hear you scream, you sound like a braying donkey."

"You shut up Devaraj I am frustrated infinitely so, since we have stepped into this thrice damned place we have earned nothing gained nothing, we were all told that by stepping into Eden we are guaranteed that we would step into Celestial level by using the resource we will find but till now what have we found, do not tell me you are no depressed as well."

Severing Saber simply laughed as he spoke, "You need patience Chainyu, it is true we have not received anything except the blue dust in the fifth floor, but at least we can earn something by selling them, and as for our elders stating that we will easily become Celestial well it is bit untrue."

Chainyu gawked at him as Severing Saber went on speaking, "Yes it is true that there are many resources that you gather can help you to easily reach the Celestial realm but that is it, it can only help you and if you are really not ready you cannot pass the Tribulation."

Chainyu looked confused at that as he spoke, "Then why do seniors tell us as such."

"Because, there are other resources that are available here easily than on the outside, we are here to simply gather them sell them and in exchange gain a few favor or means to purchase some ingredients that might help during Tribulation."

Chianyu slouched a bit as Severing Saber gained a large smile on his face as he spoke, "What Daoist Brother Ryuu said is absolutely correct, and let me tell you it is an extremely good business."

As most including Ryuu looked at him curiously Severing Saber relished at the confused look as he spoke with a booming laughter, "This is my third attempt in Eden, I have been here three more times but this was the first time I have ventured so deep into the Eden, what my business entails is that I gather resource and sell them, and I believe I am not the only one."

With his words couple of them broke into laughter as one by one they spoke out loud.

"This is my third."

"Second for me."

"As you can see young Chianyu this is our business and for the first time we ventured out this far as such I can safely say yes it is also true the yield is very low.", the people who were in the similar trade like him simply nodded as Severing Saber continued to speak, "Even after travelling so far I have barely managed to make enough profit compare to the last time and I had stayed in the second and third floors the entire time never even taking a glimpse at the fourth."

One of the person who was in the same trade as Severing Saber spoke in a somber tone, "I believe it will be the last time I enter this place, it is too dangerous for my health I believe I will try to move on to the next level if possible."

Severing Saber nodded as he spoke, "Me too."

Chianyu slouched even further as he spoke, "Even if it is true we still have to work hard to survive with such low yield, I seriously regret coming here now."

Many hummed in agreement with tired look on their faces Devaraj ran his hand through his hair as he spoke with a tired sigh, "So true brother Chianyu, so true I am regretting ever steeping into this place, I doubt even the most idiotic person would want to enter this wretched place without the promise of resources dangling in front of them."

Many nodded while a few looked towards Ryuu as they cracked a smile making him confused as he could not ask out loud, "What?"

His question made every look towards him as slowly most of them broke into laughter as a confused and annoyed Ryuu could not help but ask out again, "Why are you all laughing?"

Zywia with great difficulty controlled herself as she spoke, "Well they are reminded of a certain someone who simply entered this place just to break a certain old record."

Ryuu's face went blank before a scowl form on his face as he spoke, "Yeah yeah laugh all you want, especially you Zywia who ran from home to enter Eden, after all certain doom awaits you after you leave Eden,"

A horrified look overlapped her face as Su-Min gave her a teasing grin as she spoke, "Hey Ryuu I hope you will get me the front row seat."

Ryuu shrugged as he spoke with a sigh, "I will try but seeing someone laughing at my expense the chances are incredibly low."

Now it was time for Su-Min to get a horrified look on her face as she spoke, "What that is totally unfair Ryu, so unfair."

Only for Ryuu to reply with a huff as he spoke, "Then stop laughing at me."

His gaze then went towards others as he spoke with serious tone in his voice, "Did anyone found anything yet?"

Chianyu nodded towards him as he spoke, "Yes, we have found lots of things and it would take some time for me to inform everything so please take a seat."

As everyone took sat around him he began with a frown, "This sect is named as Seventh Heaven Sect, it is actually made up of seven sects, like First Heaven, Second Heaven, Third and so on and so forth up to the Seventh Heaven, they are a dominant power in this Galaxy with the Seventh Heaven being the leader of the group of Seven, I have yet to find the cause of this disaster, but for a sect that rules over such vast area to suffer such tragedy is something of concern and thankfully we do not have to face it I hope."

He took a breather for a moment as he continued, "Now here where it becomes more and more complicated and dangerous, the planet is an artificially created one with the true vault at the center, and if I am not wrong so is the gateway to the other side."

Ryuu stifled a headache as he spoke, "This is going to be so troublesome, so very troublesome those flames are unnatural, it would extremely difficult to deal with the flames, in order to move to the next level, not to mention the kind of traps in a vault like that."

"Can we not simply charge like that not to mention the Preta Realm if we do not hurry we might get caught, but then again what if we use this place to act as an ambush point then it would be great."

Ryuu nodded at the Deva realm speaker as he spoke, "True it would be, but we have to discreet they are crafty people who are using you brethren to check on for any traps a such the traps should have been such that it would not only allow them to bypass but at the same time make sure that the array that they are using it as a means to keep them under their control is disabled, when I rescued those poor Deva realm cultivators in the last realm I made it as such that their leaders thought those they had send to check on the barrier for traps had died, we have to do something similar, you people at the moment are weak because of their hospitality as such we have to make sure not to involve them in some kind of tense situation no matter what."

The person who spoke earlier simply nodded as he spoke, "I understand, so you want to say that we have to be cautious and discreet so that those sc.u.m may not realize that we are behind the ambush yet at the same time we have to make sure that our people are safe and sound from within the grasp of people who have no qualms on using them as meat shield, am I correct."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke with a sad smile, "You are right, absolutely if only we had higher numbers things would have been much easier."

"Actually Daoist Brother Ryuu I have a question."

Ryuu looked towards Darkthorne who had a frown on his face as he spoke, "There are so many dead bodies will that be possible that Jethrar will be able to control them, if so it would be extremely dangerous."

Before Ryuu could answer one of the Deva realm cultivator spoke with a scoff, "Control them, of course he could control easily when he fought against us he was using easily at least a hundred of those corpse puppets of his."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "That is unknown if he would be able to or not as those dead bodies as you all can agree is creepy who knows what they are, but as our Deva Realm Daoist Brother had said he can use a hundred corpses well I am sorry to inform you the bad news but he had been noted to do near about five hundred."

A sharp intake of breath was heard all around him as he continued, "Though not all of them were of equal strength but controlling such large numbers can only mean one thing he has some form of Divine body, because puppet master does not have strength to command so many at our level no matter how talented he or she may be, and him having controlling at least five times that of normal one can only signify as such, and thus we have to be extra careful about him, he is very dangerous."

Everyone nodded as Ryuu continued, "However he might not be the only puppet master amongst them, those corpse puppeteers can be nasty, extremely so…."

Ryuu stopped speaking as his eyes glazed over for a moment making everyone frown as Frost Flames to frown as she quickly held his hand as she called out loud, "Ryuu, are you alright? Ry.."

A small smile blossomed on Ryuu's face as he spoke, "Everyone I have a good as well as a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good News, please, we are having such bad luck a bit of Good News would energize us."

Ryuu looked at the speaker as he spoke with a nod, "As you wish, well it seems that they had managed to trigger my second trap as such at least a hundred of Deva realm cultivators are free though I hope they well be able run away to safety."

A cheer rose amongst them which Ryuu let them express for a moment before he began to speak, "However, however", but the nose did not cease as an annoyed twitch developed on his brow before he let lose a bit of his power making others silent as he spoke, "Sorry for being the bearer of bad News, but them triggering my second trap means it is only a matter of time before they step here so move, we do not have time to rest.", as he bellowed out loud every cultivator sprung to action.
