Chapter 140 - Second Part

Jian and Song Yu stood in front of the wall. The wall has started to shine, and words have begun to appear. After struggling for a week and clearing multiple trials, finally, they are going to see the final results. 

While clearing the trials, many good things happened. Jian was able to gather resources for the sect. He was able to harvest many different types of herbs that were extinct. 

His cultivation has reached the Ninth Cycle of the cultivation technique. He was only one cycle away from completing the final process and purifying his bloodline.

Song Yu was able to increase her affinity towards the Thunder element. She was able to clear her bottleneck of the Qi Condensation Realm. His cultivation had directly reached the third level of the Foundation Building Realm. 

New information about the world had appeared in front of Jian. His understanding of Alchemy has increased. 

After everything happened, they are waiting for the final trial results to move forward with their exploration. 

So as the words started to appear, both became esthetic and began to read. 

"Congratulations on clearing the first part of the tomb.

You have worked hard to clear every trial and satisfy every condition of the problems.

So for that once again, congratulations. 

For clearing the first part of the tomb, you will be given multiple rewards. 

You are now allowed to go to the second part of the tomb. As a bonus let me give you information.

The second part of the tomb only has one trial. But it is even more complex than all trials combined in the first part.

So best of luck."

Jian and Song Yu didn't expect the wall to give them hints about the second part of the tomb. They were pleased about it containing only one trial, but when they read that it was almost harder there, happiness disappeared.

They watched the wall disappear, and a vast amount of resources appeared in front of them. It contained weapons, pills and herbs. Even the parts of the beasts were there. 

The pills were all suitable for Heavenly Warrior, so Jian gave them to Song Yu and kept the remaining resources. 

The resources were enough to train fifty disciples. So both were shocked when they saw the rewards. After distributing the tips, they started to move forward. 

Because a new route had appeared through the wall, they immediately knew that they had to follow it to go to the second part of the tomb.

They didn't hesitate and started to follow it. As they stood on the route, they immediately found themselves in a narrow cave, and on the opposite side, they could see the light.

They knew that as long as they followed the light, they would reach the second part of the tomb. They started to track the route. 

They had continued to walk for half-hour then only they felt that they could reach halfway. They didn't expect that they had to walk for an hour to exit the cave. 

So after walking for more than half an hour, they reached the exit, but they didn't move out. They looked at each other to see if they were ready. They both nodded and moved towards the door.

As they touched the light, they were immediately blinded. After a few minutes, when they opened their eyes, they were shocked to see where they were.

Because the place they were teleported was a desert, they had not expected such climate changes. They had expected a similar environment, but the second part of the tomb was the direct opposite to the first part of the tomb.

They didn't know what was going on. They started to check around and find clues. But they were not able to find anything. They were only able to see the desert. Jian even used Star Gaze, but he was not able to find anything aside from the sand.

They didn't know what was going on. They didn't have any clue about where to go. Jian also couldn't ask the system because he knew that the system also didn't have any indication. 

Song Yu kept looking at Jian to get the explanation. But he could only shake his head. They both sighed and sat down.

They didn't have any route to go back they were stuck here. Jian spread his perception but was not able to find anything. 

He then started to check the information he had about the second part of the tomb.

The first was that it only had one trial; it would be more complex than the first trials. So after reaching here, they had not found anything which could give them their tests.

So Jian had formed a hypothesis, and he started to discuss it with Song Yu. The idea was quite simple, so they didn't address it for a long time and finally concluded. 

The hypothesis was that since they are only getting one trial. They should search for the wall which gave them their tests. 

So after deciding this, they started to move straight. Since they didn't know in which direction they had to move, they began to drive directly. 

They didn't know how much time will it take to find it, but they had moved. They couldn't sit and wait for the trial to come to them. 

It has been a half-hour since they started walking. But they were not able to find anything. For the first time, Jian and Song Yu were in the desert, so they had difficulty adjusting to it. 

Song Yu was getting tired. Jian was also feeling fatigued. He didn't expect that walking for half-hour could cause this to happen. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

So they continued to walk. The pace had started to decrease. They continued to walk for more than one and half hours, and after that, they sat to recover. 

They have walked for two hours and could not find anything, and on top of this, they both were starting to feel weak. They didn't know what was going so. First, they decided to rest.

While they were resting, Jian decided to ask the system. 

"System, do you know what was going on? Why are we feeling tired and our Qi is decreasing even though we have not used it."

" Host, I also don't know what is going on. I only have some rough ideas, so before asking, you should check using Star Gaze, then I will be able to confirm it."

Jian nodded; he understood the system. He immediately activated the Star Gaze and started to look here and there. He checked every area they were sitting on, and they had walked from. Bit, he didn't hear any response from the system. 

He was getting anxious because few had passed since he activated Star Gaze, but the system didn't respond as he was about to ask the system. He heard its voice. 

"Host, I know the reason why you and Song Yu are getting tired early. 

It is as I have expected; there is formation deep inside the desert. If you look deeper, you will be able to see the lines of the building. 

The formation is using the sand from the desert to absorb your Qi. So as long as you walk, your qi will be interested. 

There is no way to stop the formation. So it would help if you forgot about it. It would help if you focused on searching the wall. 

I think that it is related to the wall, so you should immediately start to move. You will only waste time if you stop resting in between. 

It would help if you exhausted yourself. Then only you can rest. So you will be able to save time."

Jian had not expected such reason for their fatigue. He had not expected to find a formation buried deep in the desert. If the system had not recognised it, then they had been in trouble. 

He activated the Star Gaze and looked at the ground. He focused for a few seconds, and after that, he was able to see the formation lines. 

He then deactivated the ability and thought about how to explain it to Song Yu. He thought for a while, he moved towards her and explained to her.

He even told her to try and walk around for a bit. As she was walking, she kept her attention on her Qi. She was shocked when she felt her Qi decrease. 

She didn't expect Jian to be right about the desert. However, Jian had told her how their Qi decreased but didn't tell her about the formation.

After checking everything, Jian explained to her what the system had told him; they started to follow the same plan. They have decided to walk till they exhaust themselves, and then only they will rest and try to recover. 

So after resting and recovering back in top continued, they started to walk. They were still moving straight. They continued to walk for three hours, frankly, and they were utterly exhausted. 

While walking, Jian had activated Star Gaze, so he could see the formation absorb their Qi; he didn't know what was going on.. He kept searching for something related to the formation.
