"Are you sure about this, Feng Feng? Did you really find the Empyrean Overlord inside this Nameless Emperor"s Tomb?" Yuan asked for confirmation.
"I am certain, Young Master. My memories are getting clearer and clearer. I remember entering the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb 500 years ago shortly after I escaped to the Third Heaven. I lacked treasures that were not too powerful to sell in this realm at that time, so I decided to enter the tomb, and after a gruesome experience that totally took me by surprise, I"d acquired the Empyrean Overlord and other treasures." Feng Yuxiang recalled her experience, feeling a tingly sensation known as fear when she did.
"The Nameless Emperor"s Tomb is an incredibly dangerous and unfathomable place that even a Divine Beast who came from the upper heavens such as myself struggled greatly inside. In fact, I even died a few times. If it were not for my immortal body, I would"ve perished inside that Legacy Tomb 500 years ago." Feng Yuxiang"s soul s.h.i.+vered just thinking about the nightmare she"d experienced while inside the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb.
However, a bright smile appeared on Yuan"s face when he heard this. "I wasn"t sure if I wanted to go, but I cannot ignore such an opportunity after hearing this! The Nameless Emperor"s Tomb must have something to do with my previous lives! If I want to learn more about myself, I must go there!"
"If that"s the case, you should prepare yourself, Young Master. Even with your talents, I dare say that you"ll still have some trouble inside. h.e.l.l, even the strongest cultivators can die in the most unlikely places."
"I know. I"ll be careful." Yuan said.
"The Nameless Emperor"s Tomb, huh?" Yuan wondered how he was related to this Legacy Tomb and what he"ll find inside.
If the Empyrean Overlord belonged to one of his past lives, there has to be a reason that it was inside the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb. h.e.l.l, the creator of this Legacy Tomb could very well be one of his past lives.
Tian Yanyu came out of the bathroom about 20 minutes later with a fresh look and stronger fragrance, smelling like a flower that had recently bloomed.

"I"m ready to leave. How about you?" She asked him.
"Yes. Also, I have decided to explore the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb." Yuan said.
"Great! I will speak with my mother after the briefing."
"It"s fine. I can protect myself, and I won"t be alone."
p "Oh, right… I forgot about them…" Tian Yanyu mumbled.ReadNovelFull.me
"Anyways, we can talk about this later."
"Okay."
Sometime later, they stopped at the Grand Jade Peak, one of the largest peaks within the Jade Sword Manor. Though, the only time this place becomes active are during summonings that required a large portion of the sect to gather in one spot, and currently there are over 200,000 disciples gathered.
"Impressive." Yuan was impressed by the sight when he arrived.
"This is just 2/3 of all the disciples in the Jade Sword Manor, too." Tian Yanyu said.
"While we wait, do you have any questions about the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb?"
"Yes, I—"
Yuan suddenly halted his sentence when something in the Grand Jade Peak caught his attention.
He pointed at the ma.s.sive stone statue in the distance and asked in a dazed voice, "Who is that?"
Tian Yanyu immediately knew what he was talking about even without looking at the statue.
"He doesn"t have a name because we don"t know it, but we believe he"s the Nameless Emperor." Tian Yanyu explained as she stared at the statue of a tall, masked figure.
"How did you figure that out?" Yuan continued to ask.
"Because you can find similar-looking statues inside the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb."
"I see… but why put his statue in the sect? Is he related to this sect in some way?"
"No, not that I know of. According to our sect"s history, the founder of the Jade Sword Manor was a mere rogue cultivator before creating this place. He explored the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb with some success and found some sword techniques as well as treasures that allowed him to become a peak cultivator in the Third Heaven and create the Jade Sword Manor."
"And he put that statue there as a way to pay respects to the Nameless Emperor, huh?" Yuan mumbled.
"Pretty much." Tian Yanyu nodded.
"Yuan… That"s the Lord…" Lan Yingying"s voice resounded shortly after.
She immediately recognized the statue to be the same as the "faceless statue" that she"d taken care of since she was a child inside the Mystic Realm, but she was too surprised to say anything at first.
"Yes… Looks like he"s related to the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb as well."
Sometime later, a large group of figures could be seen approaching the Grand Jade Peak.
The people from this group were all Sect Elders of the Sword Jade Manor, and they were all being led by an old man who was emanating a naturally sharp aura that made those around him feel as though they were constantly being threatened with a sword by their neck.
"Greetings, Sect Leader and Sect Elders!" The world seemed to have trembled for a moment when all of the disciples greeted at the same time.
"That old man with the large silver sword behind his back is Yu Jian, our Sect Leader." Tian Yanyu mumbled to Yuan.
Once they arrived before the disciples, Yu Jian descended until he was floating in front of the statue while the Sect Elders gathered around the disciples.
"It is that time again, my disciples. The Nameless Emperor"s Tomb will open for the world in 7 days, and it will remain open for 6 months." Yu Jian"s voice boomed in their ears despite how soft it sounded.
"If you wish to explore the Nameless Emperor"s Tomb, you must enter in groups of 10, and your cultivation has to exceed 3rd level Spirit Lord. If you"ve never experienced the tomb before, know that even if you prepare for the worst, it won"t be nearly enough to prepare you for the nightmares in that place!" Yu Jian spoke in a solemn voice, sounding as though he was speaking from experience.
