The actions of Northern Crossing Qing left the group of Elders puzzled, as no one knew what he was doing. Zuo Dao merely observed quietly from beyond the Light Screen, saying nothing.
Immersed in his feelings, Northern Crossing Qing temporarily forgot his purpose before the grand stone gate, simply absorbing the echoes of time that resonated from it.
Even if the Immortal Mound had long been abandoned, it was still a place of immortals.
Every item within the Xianzuka was infused with the aura of immortality. As the first Cultivator to enter in countless years, Northern Crossing Qing could only imagine the benefits he would reap.
Zuo Dao's calmness did not reflect the urgency felt by the Beidu Clan members. Beidu Liujin was on the verge of attacking the Light Screen. Zuo Dao understood well that the inside and outside of the Light Screen were two entirely different worlds. Although people from Northern Crossing Clan shouted outside, it had no effect on Northern Crossing Qing within.
At that moment, members of the Beidu Clan had arrived one after another, all stunned by the scene before them.
The tomb of their Ancient Ancestor had finally been found. Some clan members even wept on the spot. How many years had it been? No one knew where their Ancient Ancestor had gone when he departed.
As the only immortal on Northern Crossing Star and indeed in the entire Great Star Domain, Northern Crossing Immortal was a figure everyone recognized. Although Northern Crossing Star had sealed itself off, during those tumultuous times, an immortal represented security and deterrence.
As more people gathered, the air above Xianzuka became increasingly crowded, with some being pushed back further away. Only the Five Elders of Beidu Clan could approach the Light Screen closely. The aura emanating from Elder Five signaled something significant to them all.
Those who had once suppressed or secretly targeted Northern Crossing Clan felt a chill at seeing these five elders, fearing that any displeasure could lead to their immediate downfall.
After a long silence, Northern Crossing Qing finally moved. He slowly stood up and glanced at the crowd outside the Light Screen. At that moment, he found these people particularly annoying, especially those of his own clan.
In his mind, he truly did not wish to disturb his ancestor below, but he had received some messages through that stone gate—messages containing the will and arrangements of Northern Crossing Immortal.
Shaking his head with a sigh, he looked at Zuo Dao with a complex expression.
This White-Clad Monk had exuded an air of mystery since his arrival. Northern Crossing Qing couldn't quite understand why he felt this way. However, he knew that after exhausting countless years and losing many lives in search of Northern Crossing Immortal's tomb, it had reappeared upon Zuo Dao's arrival.
At the same time, he wondered how Zuo Dao knew he could enter this tomb. The Light Screen was clearly left by Northern Crossing Immortal; its purpose was not only protective but also to select those worthy to enter the tomb.
Only those who could pass through that Light Screen would qualify for entry into the tomb. Forcing one's way through would be extremely perilous. After exchanging glances with Zuo Dao for a long while, Northern Crossing Qing finally nodded gently at him. Only they understood what this gesture signified.
"Alright, we can begin now," Zuo Dao said as he withdrew his gaze and addressed everyone present. "All you old folks should leave; this place has nothing to do with you."
Beidu Liujin's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Zuo Dao looked at him and pointed to the Light Screen. "Those with a cultivation level of Five Hundred Years or below, as well as those in the Robbery Realm, can enter. Those with a Thousand Years or below can also enter. Do you need more clarification?"
"How do you know this, Zuo? This is the tomb of my Beidu Clan's Ancient Ancestor; why can't we enter?" Beidu Liufeng interjected before Beidu Liujin could respond.
"Knowing is knowing; is that reason enough?" Zuo Dao's words left Beidu Liufeng momentarily speechless.
What kind of reasoning is that?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zuo Dao understood that if they were unclear about this matter, these people would never give up. However, even if they understood, they still wouldn't relent.
"By the way, let me tell you one more thing: even those who meet the qualifications I just mentioned may not necessarily gain entry." After saying this, Zuo Dao stepped aside, clearing the path ahead. The implication was clear—if you don't believe me, feel free to try.
If Zuo Dao had taken action, Elder Five would have doubted his words. However, seeing his behavior made Elder Five somewhat inclined to believe him.
In their view, Zuo Dao, being a Cultivator in the Life and Death Realm like them, shouldn't do anything that would tarnish his reputation.
Due to the suppression by the Northern Crossing's Five Elders, other Cultivators arriving from Northern Crossing Star dared not approach. When Zuo Dao noticed Beidu Liujin and others' gazes shifting toward these Cultivators, he understood what they were plotting.
He didn't mind; since they had come here, they should pay a price. Zuo Dao felt no obligation to care about these people's lives or deaths. It wasn't that he was cold-hearted; he was well aware of their intentions in coming here to disturb his ancestors' resting place and had no compassion for such individuals.
As he expected, after Beidu Liujin glanced at those Cultivators, one was soon chosen and hurled toward the Light Screen.
Testing the waters with someone else's life.
The unfortunate chosen one didn't struggle at all before crashing into the Light Screen. The disparity in realms ensured that he had no power to resist against Beidu Liujin.
Before everyone's eyes, that Cultivator slammed hard against the Light Screen without any blood splattering; he was simply engulfed by it.
It's important to note that the Light Screen was transparent; that Cultivator melted into it like wax under fire, becoming part of the Light Screen itself.
All non-Beidu Clan Cultivators were terrified and quickly distanced themselves from their opponent. Yet some remained unwilling to give up; even as they retreated, they refused to take their eyes off the Light Screen. This perfectly illustrated what it meant to die for wealth.
Beidu Liujin was also startled by this scene; he hadn't expected this Light Screen to be so bizarre and powerful. After all, he had just thrown in a Robber Monk of considerable renown!
"Why weren't we like this before?" Turning to Zuo Dao, Beidu Liujin asked.
"You fool, don't you think about who is buried below?" Zuo Dao looked at him with a hint of disdain. If it weren't for their Northern Crossing Immortal Bloodline, they would have been dead long ago during the earlier tests.
"You mean, because we are his descendants!" Beidu Liufeng inquired.
"It's so obvious. If you still have to ask, then 'fool' doesn't even begin to describe you," Zuo Dao shrugged. "Let me handle this."
Zuo Dao pointed out a few individuals from the Beidu Clan.
"You can go in."
The nine chosen individuals stood still, merely looking at Beidu Liujin. They had witnessed the death of that cultivator and were now being called out by Zuo Dao—wasn't this just sending them to their deaths?
Beidu Liujin ignored the gazes of his clansmen. He understood their thoughts well enough; however, he was more concerned about how credible Zuo Dao's words were.
When his gaze fell on Northern Crossing Qing within the Light Screen, he noticed Qing nodding at him. Feeling relieved, he disregarded any objections from the eight vice principals and struck them down with a single palm.
Screams echoed, filled with despair.
