Against The Heavens

If Li Yang"s idea was correct and this place was really a tomb for him and Fang Ying, did that mean that some of the items the two of them used in their past life were located inside the Thunder Flower Memorial? If it really was so, then he truly had to reach that place and pick up those items.

"Indeed. It is normally completely impossible to reach and enter Thunder Flower Memorial, but the four creators once told me that it would be a shame if the thing at the center of Thunder Flower Memorial was lost, so they created four emblems. The one who holds the emblems will be given a chance to enter the Thunder Flower Memorial."

The bald golem nodded its head and responded. It did not know what was located in the Thunder Flower Memorial, but if even the four creators felt that it would be a shame if it was lost, the value could be imagined.

"How does one acquire these emblems?"

Li Yang felt that he might know what was located inside the Thunder Flower Memorial. Since his old friends had created a way for others to enter the Thunder Flower Memorial, it might not be just items from his previous life that were located there. Some of his old techniques, his inheritance, might also be placed there, waiting for a suitable heir.

Of course, this all depended on whether or not he was correct about this place being a tomb for him and Fang Ying. If this place was not a tomb for them, all his ideas might be completely wrong.

"The four creators set up four guardians, the leaders of all the other guardians. Each guardian holds one of the emblems and will give you a test. Complete the test and you can acquire the emblem."

Each of the four creators had set up one guardian each, with that guardian holding the emblem created by that creator. These guardians were also put in charge of the tests, which were designed by the four creators. Only like this did the four creators feel confident that the emblems were safe. At least that was what the bald golem had been told.

"What are the tests? And where can you find the guardians?"

Depending on what the tests were, Li Yang was considering whether or not he should attempt them. If they turned out to be too difficult for him, he would focus on finding a way to leave this hidden realm and come back when he was stronger.

"I do not know the actual contents of the tests, only that they are based on the strength of the person taking the test. The four creators said "He would get mad at us if we didn"t give everyone a fair chance"."

The bald golem knew a lot, but there were also things he had not been told. The contents of the test were one of them. As for the quote by the four creators, that was something they had told him in case anyone was wondering why the tests were based on the strength of the person taking the test.

"Nice and simple. Seems like they truly understood me."

Li Yang chuckled slightly when he heard the bald golem. Who else could they be talking about but him? If he were to leave behind his inheritance before he died, he would use the same system that Zhao Feng and the others used, basing the tests on the strength of the person taking them.

"As for the location of the four guardians, there is one located not far from each town. The one for this town is located in the emerald volcanoes, the one for Soaring Sword is located in a valley blanketed by eternal wind, the one for Spear"s Advance is located in a mountain made of metal, while the one for Time"s March is located at the center of the vast plain located not far from the city."

Since each of the four creators had placed one guardian, they had, of course, placed the guardians not far from the towns they had created. As to whether or not the locations of the guardians had anything to do with what type of test they would give, the bald golem did not know.

"I see. Tell me, has anyone other than me managed to get past the any of the protective measures and arrive in this world? And if so, were there any noteworthy ones?"

With the tests being based on the strength of the person taking them, Li Yang felt that it was worth at least attempting them. If he arrived at the emerald volcanoes and found that it was too difficult, he could just leave then.

But before he embarked on that journey, he was rather interested in whether or not there had been any other people who managed to arrive safely inside this world. After all, these people might end up becoming his enemies at that point.

"There have been several who managed to get past the protective measures and enter this world, but most chose to leave after attempting the tests to acquire the emblems. As for those that could be called noteworthy, there are only three."

Getting past the protective measures and arriving at one of the four towns required either great strength, great luck, or great destiny. Because of this, the golem made sure to record the names of everyone who arrived at any of the four towns.

"Xia Yong was someone who managed to enter and leave this place, despite her cultivation only being at the same level as yours. Another one was called Fang Ying. She had slightly higher cultivation than you, but she managed to visit two of the towns before she decided to leave. The last one is the strongest of the people to ever enter this world, he should still be located somewhere in this world, but I do not know quite where. I believe his name was Jing Yimu."

The bald golem listed the three people it felt were noteworthy, not noticing Li Yang"s expression change upon hearing the last two names. Li Yang did not know who Xia Yong was, but he was very familiar with the two last names.

The Fang Ying mentioned by the bald golem might very well be the same Fang Ying that he was looking for. If this really was a tomb for the two of them, it would also explain why the black mist did not harm Li Yang, after all, why would the protective measures in this world harm the person this world was created for?

"Jing Yimu."

The last name mentioned by the bald golem also caused a strong reaction in Li Yang. Jing Yimu had been one of the people who surrounded and killed Li Yang and Fang Ying. He did not know if it was the same Jing Yimu, but if it was, he would have to be careful that his real ident.i.ty was not found out.

"I see. Thank you for all the information."

Li Yang thanked the bald golem one more time. He had gotten a great deal of information about this hidden realm from it, so it was only right that he at least thanked it.

"That is my duty. What is your name? I must save it for the archives."

The bald golem was still completely emotionless, only focused on completing its duty. Since Li Yang had managed to get past one of the protective measures, no matter how he did it, it was the golem"s duty to record his name.

"My name is Li Yang."

Li Yang answered the golem and then turned around and left the library. He was no longer in the mood to look through the books in the library, he wanted to reach the emerald volcanoes and find out how difficult the tests created by Zhao Feng and the others were.
