Chapter 1232 - 1086: Only Death Awaits
Thus, he set up a Defensive Magic Array in front of the cave.Then, they entered the cave together.
"Everyone be careful, I believe you saw the words 'triple mechanism' written on the map! There should be a triple mechanism here!"
Shi Potian whispered.
"Understood!"
The Martial Artists present prepared for battle at any moment, their expressions exceedingly tense.
The corridor was three meters long, with a width and height of over three meters each, yet the sides of the corridor were very dry, and the ground had a thick layer of sandy soil.
The group carefully examined the sandy soil and quickly discovered no traces of living creatures having intruded.
The sandy soil was very smooth, without any unevenness.
The deeper they went into the mountain path, the less sandy soil there was.
"Fortunately, it seems no other living creatures have been here before!"
As the team advanced a certain distance, they suddenly saw a stele ahead.
The writing on the stele was clearly visible, and after they understood its meaning, they all furrowed their brows.
It turned out the stele welcomed them to the Immortal Tomb containing the Transverse Mountains and Waters treasure. Although they felt very excited, the stele warned them that to venture inside and overcome the triple obstacles required substantial power.
If they lacked enough power and tried to force entry, the outcome could only be death.
Seeing the writing on the stele, the Martial Artists present naturally felt fear; though they wanted the treasures within the Immortal Tomb, they did not want to die!
"Apparently, we are going to be transported into an independent space, and only by overcoming the triple obstacles there can we come out alive; if not, we will be trapped forever!"
After reading the record on the stele, the group contemplated for a moment, and their hearts tightened.
"Everyone, think carefully!"
After Shi Potian finished speaking, he and Duan Gujin stepped aside to let the other Martial Artists think.
"You've heard of this place before; do you know what's up with this stele?"
Duan Gujin asked Shi Potian through secret communication.
"I've only heard about this place before, but I didn't come across the Transverse Mountains and Waters! The truth of the matter will only be known by the Martial Artist who found the Transverse Mountains and Waters!" Duan Gujin responded.
Duan Gujin, hearing this, exhaled a breath of stale air; in his past life, he too had heard about the Transverse Mountains and Waters from other Martial Artists.
"This is too dangerous; if possible, I think I'll give up on entering to seek the Transverse Mountains and Waters!"
Duan Gujin responded.
"Are you serious about that?"
Hearing that Duan Gujin wanted to give up, Shi Potian widened his eyes, looking at Duan Gujin in puzzlement.
"I've heard others say before that the independent space within the Transverse Mountains and Waters is extremely treacherous. Without a strong cultivation, it's better not to venture in! Look at us, we're all only at the Mid-Stage Martial Saint level!"
Duan Gujin said.
Shi Potian knew little about the Transverse Mountains and Waters; after pondering for a while, he said, "If you really want to give up, then go ahead!"
"Alright!"
Sensing Duan Gujin's decision to quit halfway through, Shi Potian found it challenging to persuade him to advance together.
Duan Gujin's choice to give up seeking the Transverse Mountains and Waters was based on tales he'd heard about the enormous loss of companions suffered by the Martial Artist who eventually acquired it.
This terrifying mortality rate made him think the independent space within the Transverse Mountains and Waters was full of mechanisms and traps. If his cultivation had reached the Supreme God level, perhaps he would consider taking a risk.
But he knew very well he was only at the Martial Saint realm.
Imagining the difficulty of obtaining the top-grade divine artifact of Transverse Mountains and Waters with his current cultivation, he could only imagine the challenge.
After a while, Shi Potian observed that only two other people in the team were willing to go with him to seek the Transverse Mountains and Waters.
Seeing only two Martial Artists unafraid of death, a line of black sweat streaked across his forehead.
Reconsidering, he realized his previous idea was too rash.
"What should I do?"
His eyes flickered briefly; after some contemplation, he decided to leave with everyone else.
"Everyone, I believe you've all made the best decisions. Now I'd like to give up on seeking the Transverse Mountains and Waters inside; let's return! I don't want to take the risk!"
Shi Potian rubbed his nose, knowing that this group of people had no chance of acquiring the Transverse Mountains and Waters.
Although he deeply desired the Transverse Mountains and Waters, he knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to obtain the divine artifact.
Reluctantly, he could only crush the Transmission Talisman nearby, which transported him back.
Other Martial Artists, witnessing Shi Potian's retreat, hesitantly looked at each other.
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath, breaking his own Transmission Talisman to return.
Seeing Duan Gujin and Shi Potian, these two experts, retreat, other Martial Artists hesitated momentarily, then one by one crushed their Transmission Talismans, transporting themselves back.
Soon, the elder responsible for testing saw many Martial Artists return one by one.
Upon inquiring, this elder learned they had found the cave containing the Transverse Mountains and Waters, but were scared off by the stele within.
"So the Transverse Mountains and Waters are there!"
This information was promptly reported by the elders to the higher-ups for decision-making.
These high-level elders soon appeared and met Shi Potian.
Upon inquiry, they learned Shi Potian had a Master in the Immortal Domain.
Receiving this news, the high-ranking elders immediately treated Shi Potian with utmost respect.
These elders understood that although in the Divine World they enjoyed great power, they had never even set foot in the Immortal Domain.
For them, the greatest hope was to enter the Immortal Domain.
However, they also understood that entering the Immortal Domain was extremely difficult.
Shi Potian shared much of what he knew with the elders, hoping they could find the Transverse Mountains and Waters.
On the other hand, Duan Gujin knew little about the Transverse Mountains and Waters, having no idea how to obtain it.
"It seems that Shi Potian's Master is truly an Immortal Domain Immortal!"
On another side, Nangong Qingyu watched in shock as a revered elder from the Nangong Family treated Shi Potian with utmost respect.
Previously, she had intended to frame Shi Potian, but seeing the Nangong Elder's reverence for him, she backed down, realizing she must not provoke Shi Potian, whose Master is an Immortal Domain Immortal.
Should she provoke him, even if he were to eradicate her, the Nangong Family would likely not seek vengeance on her behalf.
