Upon closer inspection below, Guan Yue was indeed not mistaken. What appeared to be a stone floor was not completely sealed. On the left side of the cave, there was a passage about five meters long; by entering the passage and turning downwards, one could access a downward tunnel.
Thus, Guan Yue covered West's mouth and forcefully led her quietly into the left passage, then told her, "We are going down; the ancient tomb is below."
Just moments ago, Guan Yue had startled West by dragging her against the stone wall, and now discovering that entering inside would lead to a tunnel left her astonished, causing her to nod repeatedly.
When Guan Yue had covered West's mouth, he felt the softness and warmth of her lips, which stirred a bit of excitement within him. He forcibly suppressed his inappropriate feelings at that moment and held West's small hand as they leaped downwards. Soon after, they reached another platform and entered another tunnel, jumping down once more.
Meanwhile, the sounds of fierce battle above grew weaker.
After jumping down nine platforms, they finally reached the bottom. It took nearly an hour in total.
At last at the bottom, there was only one exit around them, yet still no light. West tightly clung to Guan Yue's arm; her fullness against him made his heart race, stirring emotions within him. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he might have responded to West, letting her know the consequences of being so close to a man!
However, West could see nothing; she followed Guan Yue solely based on her trust in him—what a tremendous trust that was.
Guan Yue could clearly see the exit, so he held West's small hand and walked towards it.
As they stepped out, suddenly everything was bright. Both Guan Yue and West were momentarily blinded by the light and quickly stepped back into darkness again.
West was frightened. She murmured, "Oh my gosh, could we have arrived at the Yin-Yang Realm?"
"Yin-Yang Realm?" Guan Yue questioned in confusion. Did people here also believe in yin and yang like those from his past life?
West nodded, "The Yin-Yang Realm is the boundary between life and death. One step forward is life; one step back is death. This place feels just like the Yin-Yang Realm."
"I'll go take a look by myself first; you stay here and wait for me." Guan Yue said as he released Fang West's hand and stepped forward. Fang West quickly grabbed him, softly murmuring, "Brother Guan, don't leave me. I'm scared."
Hearing Fang West's words, Guan Yue felt a twinge of fear himself. The surroundings were silent and pitch black, and they were at the base of a mountain after traversing nine winding paths for an hour. At that moment, being alone would truly send chills down anyone's spine.
Guan Yue steeled himself and said to Fang West, "West, don't be afraid. Let's go in together and see; maybe there’s treasure waiting for us. We can't turn back now; we can only move forward."
Fang West understood this too, so she nodded. The two of them took another step forward, but they both closed their eyes. After a long moment, they slowly opened their eyes and were stunned:
The cave's bottom connected to an immense space. Vast clusters of towering buildings stretched for miles, yet at that moment, a heavy Death Qi enveloped the area, creating an eerie silence.
Guan Yue couldn't understand how a cave that seemed only a hundred meters long from afar could lead to such an expansive area inside. Where were the people? Had they all perished?
He pulled Fang West toward the clusters of buildings. However, Fang West was filled with dread; she had an instinctive fear of this desolate land. She didn't know why.
Suddenly, Fang West climbed onto Guan Yue with remarkable speed, her feet leaving the ground as she clung to him like an octopus, her face pale as she exclaimed, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
Guan Yue listened intently and scanned the area with his eyes. Sure enough, he spotted a small creature entirely black darting away into the ruins; it looked very much like a cat. Guan Yue patted Fang West's protruding backside and laughed, "Just a cat, and you're scared like this?"
"Is it really a cat? Why is it so black? And its eyes are really white without any pupils," Fang West said as she leaned against Guan Yue comfortably now without feeling shy. She climbed down from him but remained vigilant, keeping an eye out for any other surprises.
Guan Yue smiled and asked, "West, how about I carry you?"
"Um, then what about my back? You should hold me; that feels safest." It seemed Fang West was quite frightened because she genuinely allowed Guan Yue to press closely against her back as she felt confident enough to move forward.
With this arrangement, their pace quickened since Fang West no longer had worries behind her and focused solely on moving ahead.
However, after they had advanced about a mile, a cloud of dark gray mist rushed towards them from a distance.
Fang West was in a panic because she saw countless small black creatures rushing towards them like a gust of wind. These were the small cat-like animals that Guan Yue had mentioned earlier, and now they had summoned their family to attack humans who had not appeared for thousands of years!
At this moment, Guan Yue also noticed that these small creatures charging towards them were completely black, with no hint of brightness, except for their two white eyes, which looked like two white marbles, devoid of any spirit. They came in groups, at least a thousand of them, clearly summoned by the small creatures that Fang West had startled earlier.
Guan Yue was not afraid of these small creatures, but Fang West climbed up onto Guan Yue again. Like the other girls, she was terrified of those small animals, especially these uncommon black ones.
Guan Yue had no choice but to hold Fang West tightly with her left arm while using her right hand to swat at the cloud-like small creatures. Immediately, a burst of Nine-Colored Radiance flickered, and those small creatures rushed towards the Nine-Colored Radiance like moths to a flame. Fang West was horrified at this sight; her face lost all color as she embarrassedly lost face as a Disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm. She flailed her arms aimlessly, sending waves of fierce attacks toward the black creatures.
The black creatures with their dead fish-like eyes charged forward aggressively. Despite Fang West's attacks inflicting severe damage on them, they continued to rush towards the Nine-Colored Radiance without hesitation.
Thousands of small creatures silently flowed towards them like a dark cloud surging across the ground. It seemed slow, but in reality, they were moving very quickly.
But then an astonishing phenomenon occurred that left both Guan Yue and Fang West dumbfounded!
These thousands of black creatures dodged Fang West's attacks and charged straight into the Nine-Colored Radiance. Under its illumination, these thousands of small creatures began to disintegrate into black dust almost instantly, scattering across the ground around Guan Yue.
Guan Yue watched this situation in astonishment, wondering inwardly: How has the Nine-Colored Radiance become so powerful? It can actually annihilate these creatures in an instant?
At this moment, she felt two Primordial Infants within her stirring violently as if they were devouring something. Both Primordial Infants were excited, and even Guan Yue could sense their exhilaration.
Everything happened silently and ended just as quietly.
Fang West still clung tightly to Guan Yue's head, afraid to let her body touch the ground.
Guan Yue quickly walked out of the dark area and smiled, saying, "West, you can see how amazing I am. Those little creatures were so frightened by my brilliance that they came to seek their own demise. You have nothing to fear. Rest assured, I will ensure your safety from now on. I will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Seeing that they were safe now, Fang West released Guan Yue but still said with lingering fear, "It's strange, how did those little black monsters come to seek death on their own?"
Guan Yue chuckled and replied, "Who cares? They have been eliminated anyway. Let's keep moving. I can sense that there is treasure not far ahead."
Indeed, upon hearing Guan Yue mention treasure, Fang West immediately perked up and loudly asked, "Treasure? Where is it? Let's go get it!"
"Alright, let's hurry and get the treasure," Guan Yue said happily as he pulled Fang West forward. Guan Yue's target was a tall building ahead, where something was shining brightly; he could clearly see it from a distance with his keen vision.
When they arrived in front of the building, they found that the walls of this tall structure were already quite dilapidated, but the dozens of tall columns still stood firm, and the top of the building remained intact.
The shining object was located at the base of one of the columns.
How did it end up on the column? At that moment, Fang West also spotted the shining object. Her eyes lit up as she rushed forward and pulled down a string of jade beads from the column! It was this string of jade beads that was glowing.
The pink jade beads numbered thirty-six, each about the size of a thumb, very uniform and crystal clear. Inside each bead faintly shimmered an illusion, as if there were a living creature within each one. The material appeared to be pure pink jade, smooth and lustrous, and each bead was radiating light, making them incredibly beautiful. Fang West couldn't help but admire them endlessly.
While Fang West was admiring the jade beads, Guan Yue looked into the distance again and noticed a terrifying phenomenon. As Fang West took down the string of jade beads, a burst of light shot out from them directly toward the top of the building and then into other buildings, forming a vague connection between their rooftops.
Soon, all the rooftops began to glow in response to one another. This phenomenon greatly alarmed Guan Yue!
