Tianyi fiddled with the sundial token as he looked at the direction where it pointed towards. He had originally planned on watching Bai Tiezi to see what trouble the Qi Gathering realm cultivator would get into, but it seems that his luck was actually pretty good.
There was an inheritance relating to the Dao of Space on this tiny island. Between amusing himself and solving his problem, Tianyi naturally chose the latter.
Without wasting anymore time, Tianyi flew on his flying sword towards the direction the sundial pointed towards. No matter where Tianyi went, the sundial would only point to a single spot and so it was a logical conclusion that that the location of the inheritance was where sundial pointed to.
After three days of travel Tianyi arrived at an extremely large mountain, it was at least three times tallers than any of the mountains that Tianyi saw on the island.
Tianyi checked the sundial again, it was pointing directly at the mountain and the closer Tianyi got, the brighter the light it exuded.
“Halt! This mountain is the forbidden ground of the Bliss Earth Sect, if you go any further don’t blame us for attacking.” Just as Tianyi reached the foot of the mountain on his flying sword, a man wearing the robes of the Bliss Earth Sect stopped Tianyi.
Tianyi looked at the man who was flying atop an unfolded fan. He should have expected that the Bliss Earth Sect would have quarantined the location of the entrance to the legacy site. Tianyi
Tianyi didn’t answer the man as he released his spiritual sense and enveloped the whole mountain. Under his spiritual sense, he could detect two cultivators at the Core Formation realm and numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators scattered throughout, guarding the borders.
He quirked his lips upwards and used his spiritual sense to sneak attack the two Core Formation cultivators. Tianyi had qualms about attacking the members of the Bliss Earth Sect at this time.
He feared no one at this tiny island, even if there was somehow a Unity Venerable, Tianyi would still be confident with fighting them with his Pendant of Mountains and Seas.
Just as the Foundation Establishment cultivator was about to speak out once more and an enraged roar was heard from the mountain.
“YOU DARE!!!”
Oh? My attack was only effective on one of them, is it because I’m not proficient enough with my attack or is that person’s soul especially strong? Tianyi didn’t leave from his position as a Core Formation cultivator standing atop a crystal orb appeared behind the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Speak, why are you here?” Although the Core Formation Master of the Bliss Earth Sect was enraged, once he felt the pressure emanating from Tianyi he immediately calmed down.
Tianyi quirked his lips upwards.
“Why do you think I’m here?” Tianyi asked with a knowing smile.
The Core Formation Master’s face became solemn at Tianyi’s word.
“Fellow daoist, you should know that this is the jurisdiction of the Bliss Earth Sect and it has been sectioned off by the orders of the Roving Dragon!”
“Roving Dragon? Is that your sect master’s title? How interesting.” Tianyi said as he held his chin in his hands. “But so what? Even if he has reached the Unity realm, I don’t need to fear him.”
Confusion appeared on the faces of the Bliss Earth Sect members, but they were capable of judging from Tianyi’s tone that he would not back off.
“Seeking death!” The Core Formation Master said as he began to unleash his spells. But before he could release his spells, he felt his neck being lifted and all strength leave his body.
“If you want to fight me, at least have a Gold grade Spiritual Core.” Tianyi said, and then looked at the gathered Bliss Earth Sect members. None of them dared to move, seeing as how Tianyi had easily captured the Core Formation Master.
They were all in the Foundation Establishment realm, as for those in the Qi Gathering realm? Tianyi directly ignored them.
“Don’t worry, as long as you behave yourselves I won’t kill any of you. After all I have no interest in-”
Before Tianyi could finish the sky darkened and a lightning bolt struck Tianyi. The onlookers became shocked as they saw the mystery cultivator suddenly be struck by lightning, they quickly moved far away lest they be harmed for staying too close.
Some of them hoped that Tianyi would be fatally injured by the lightning strike, while others hoped that the Core Formation Elder was fine. But no matter, they didn’t have the power to interfere and thus could only watch as the black clouds sent four strikes of lightning before disappearing.
When the blinding sparks of lightning disappeared, the onlookers stood there dazed.
Tianyi appeared absolutely fine, not a hair out of place. The same could not be said for the Core Formation Elder, his body was pitch black and appeared to have been encased in a black shell. Everyone could tell that the Core Formation Elder was seriously injured.
“Well, that was inconvenient.” Tianyi said, helplessly. He threw the half dead cultivator in his hand towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator that spoke out to him first. “Remember, do not bother me and do not contact your sect. A fate worse than his will await you.”
Saying those words Tianyi began to fly towards the peak of the mountain.
The spectators looked at each other, not knowing what they should do.
“Should we contact the sect? It seems that only the sect master can fight this monster.”
Some of them agreed while others disagreed. However amidst the argument, the one who was adamant about contacting the sect took out a communication artifact and started to use it. Under the eyes of everyone, he suddenly stopped moving and collapsed onto the ground and his communication treasure shattered into uncountable pieces.
Seeing this, all of them had a cold bead of sweat run down their forehead.
Tianyi saw everything with his spiritual sense, aside from the Core Formation Master who could resist his initial attack, none of the other cultivators on the mountain could defend against him. Naturally he couldn’t continuously keep his spiritual sense out, but an initial warning was enough to deter them for a while. There was a slight hope that it would be enough to stop them from having any thought of contacting the sect if he made himself appear omniscient enough.
He continued on his way towards the mountain and soon found a cave entrance that blocked his spiritual sense. The sundial in Tianyi’s hand grew brighter the closer Tianyi got to the cave.
Tianyi didn’t immediately enter the cave and instead inspected the surrounding. Seeing that he could not discover anything from the outside, he began to look at the cave entrance. At first glance it just appeared to be a naturally formed cave from the passage of time. But no matter what, Tianyi couldn’t detect past ten feet inside the cave using his spiritual sense, sight, or sound.
He steel himself and began to walk into the cave. Although there were risks, the importance of the legacy was incredibly important to Tianyi. Especially since he couldn’t access his usual resources and the aid of his mother.
Tianyi continued to walk and walk inward, but it felt as if time had stretched indefinitel. No matter how long he walked, the entrance was always ten feet behind him.
“Figures it wouldn’t be so easy.” Tianyi said. He looked at the sundial in his hand, although the glow was the same brightness, the pattern seemed to have changed. Having an idea, Tianyi tested it and changed his direction according to the change in the sundial.
Unsurprisingly Tianyi found himself in another completely different location. It seemed to be a floating landmass situated above a river made of silver threads. Tianyi stood in front of a doorless gate that led to a long and narrow road towards a large platform with three white steles.
“Immortal Riverrat’s Abode.” Tianyi read the plague that was affixed to the top of the gate.”Is this the first test, I have to reach the abode?”
The road looked perilous and each side was covered by stone statues. Perhaps the stone statue would come to life and attack Tianyi and cause him to fall off the edge.
