Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The entrance to the tomb is ten kilometers east of Fengya Town.

Starting three years ago, monks would enter the tomb to explore every few days in order to train themselves or look for opportunities. Many elders of the sects recommended their disciples to come to the secret realm for training.

Of course, only the exploration of the first three levels is recommended. After all, there are too few disciples who can return from the fourth level. All major sects do not want their disciples to die in the secret realm of the tomb, otherwise the bodies may not be found.

The bumpy gravel road makes every step feel like stepping onto an unstable hill, making it difficult to keep balance. There are some sharp rocks among the stones. Looking up, the uneven rock walls fill the entire field of vision.

Under the weak and dim light, these rock walls appear even more eerie, with shadows spreading between the rock walls and weak light projected from afar, reflecting a hazy scene.

As Xu Yeyu led the way, he asked Xia Xiaomo, "Miss Xia, have you ever been to the Great Tomb Secret Realm before?"

"I've only heard my senior brothers and sisters mention it, but I've never been here."

There are only some weak monsters on the first level of the tomb, which can be dealt with by mortal warriors.

"Then do you know the situation on the fourth floor of the tomb?"

Xia Xiaomo shook her head. As the senior brother said, they had just entered the fourth floor when they encountered two monsters that had broken through the foundation realm. At that time, they were no longer in their prime, and it was difficult for them to defeat the two monsters that had broken through the foundation realm, so they were forced to leave.

There is a time limit in the secret realm of the tomb. They can only stay in it for five days, after which they will be teleported out by the teleportation array.

However, few disciples of the sect returned with useful information about the situation on the fourth floor, and no one knows how many floors the tomb has. So far, only the fourth floor has been explored.

Xu Yeyu continued: "The fourth floor actually has two areas."

Xia Xiaomo stopped and turned to look at Xu Yeyu, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Two areas?"

Although she had never been to the Great Tomb Secret Realm, she had heard many things about this secret realm, but she had never heard of the information that there were two areas on the fourth floor.

"Miss Xia, you should have collected all the information about the fourth floor from your fellow disciples. The last time the team went down to the tomb, they encountered two monsters as soon as they entered the fourth floor and did not stay there for too long. But I am an exception."

Xia Xiaomo heard that Xu Yeyu was the last member of the team to leave the secret tomb. Could it be that he got the information about the sword at that time?

"Xu Yeyu, what realm are you in?"

Even if he hadn't defeated the two Foundation-breaking Realm monsters head-on, escaped from them, and then stayed on the fourth floor for a while, he might have been the first person to do so.

Due to the rules of the Great Tomb Secret Realm, the realm cannot exceed the third level of the Foundation Breaking Realm. Xia Xiaomo guessed that Xu Yeyu should be a cultivator in the Foundation Breaking Realm.

"I heard from my teammates that my Qi is stronger than that of the late Qi Refining Stage, but not yet at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I am at the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Stage."

"You are at a lower level than me?"

How is this possible? It's totally unreasonable. How could he go into the tomb three times without any harm if he doesn't even have the foundation building stage?

"You didn't use any magic weapon to hide your cultivation. Is this your true realm?"

Some magic weapons can conceal one's own cultivation level. If a cultivator of a similar realm carries such a magic weapon, others will misjudge his true realm.

Xu Yeyu nodded and muttered, "So there is such a magic weapon. I could get one if I have the chance."

Xia Xiaomo knew one thing, that the person in front of her was not simple. It was possible that he was the direct disciple of a sect elder or the sect master, and that he had been given many magical weapons to protect himself. Even if his realm was low, he could still escape from the hands of two Foundation-breaking Realm monsters.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. This explains it all, but there is one thing I can't explain. Why does he lack common sense?

Xia Xiaomo turned around and looked at the Shadow Eagle flying towards them.

The Shadow Eagle is one of the most common monsters on the first level, similar in appearance to a crow, and most monsters don’t even exist in the early stages of the Qi Refining Stage.

She slashed at the scabbard, and dozens of shadow eagles exploded.

There are only some weak monsters on the first level, which can be dealt with by some mortal warriors. This is why there are mortals coming to the first level of the tomb to explore treasures. Most secret realms are not accessible to mortals, but the secret realm of the tomb is one of the exceptions.

Xia Xiaomo put the scabbard back on her waist and asked, "You stayed on the fourth floor for a while. What did you find?"

"At the entrances to the third and fourth floors, I found two formations. One formation leads to the area where our team was last time, and the other formation should lead to another area." Xu Yeyu replied.

For cultivators at this level, it is good enough to have some knowledge related to formations. Otherwise, even cultivators who major in formations cannot understand them.

"Are you a disciple of Mingyue Valley? You can actually understand the formation of the Great Tomb Secret Realm."

The teleportation formation set up in the secret realm of the tomb is definitely not simple, and there is only one sect in the northern continent that specializes in formations.

One of the three major sects, Mingyue Valley.

"Miss Xia, I am a casual cultivator, but when you mentioned Mingyue Valley, one of my teammates mentioned that he was from Mingyue Valley."

Xia Xiaomo didn't believe this sentence at all. Is the teammate you are talking about really not you?

How is it possible that a casual cultivator who has not even reached the second realm knows so much about formations? Another possibility is that this person is lying, and what he said about the two areas on the fourth floor are fake. However, the possibility is relatively low. Is there any benefit in lying to her?

"The probability of triggering these two teleportation arrays is different. The probability of the teleportation array that was triggered that day is higher, and the probability of the other one is lower."

This is a major discovery. If what Xu Yeyu said was true, then she could bring back important information to the sect. Who would have thought that entering the fourth floor would lead to a random destination of one of these two areas?

"So where is the sword we are looking for?"

"On the side with a lower probability, if you want to leave the fourth floor and go back to the third floor, and then gamble on the probability from the third floor to go to the other area, it won't work."

Xu Yeyu took a sip of tea and continued, "It will definitely be teleported to the previous area in a short period of time. I have verified it more than a dozen times."

It's really not that you're unlucky, you only went to that area a dozen times?

“What if I don’t get to the area I want to go to?”

"I'll tell you then."

Why are you keeping me in suspense? I've already said it, and I'll talk about it when the time comes.

"Then let's hurry on."

She had looked at the maps of the first three floors and had a general idea of ​​the path. The map was on her storage ring, so if she forgot the path she could take it out and look at it.

The map of the secret realm of the tomb is sold in places where independent cultivators gather. Every time a cultivator goes down to the tomb, there will be cultivators recording the route, and every three years there will be cultivators adding to the route.

Xu Yeyu said: "Actually, I know some shortcuts. I'll take you there."

After all, this girl is his client. When doing a commission, he must make others satisfied. He should save time if possible and reduce trouble if possible.

Xia Xiaomo, who originally thought she was familiar with the structure of the first three levels of the dungeon, took out the map from her storage ring and looked at it again.

The routes on the map were clearly visible, but no shortcuts or hidden passages were marked. Floors one to three were complex maze structures with many forks and dead ends. There were two routes that could lead to the next floor, but no shortcuts were recorded.

"The shortcut is not shown on that map."

Xu Yeyu bent down and reached his hand into the pile of rubble, constantly picking out those stones that looked different from the other stones. Finally, he took out three stones from the pile of rubble.

Xia Xiaomo was puzzled. Is there anything special about these three stones?

It looked nothing special compared to the other stones in the rubble pile, except that it was grayish brown in color.

Xu Yeyu came to a stone wall. Xia Xiaomo took out a map and looked at the stone wall. It was clearly marked on the map that this stone wall was indestructible.

Some dead ends and stone walls in the secret realm of the tomb can be destroyed, but some cannot be destroyed by force. The destroyed places will be restored the next day.

There was a saying among the monks who first went down to the tomb: when you feel there is no way out, maybe you can find a new way by working hard and doing miracles.

Xu Yeyu gently placed the three stones into a recess, only to find that they fit perfectly together. Then the stone wall shook a few times.

Suddenly, the entire wall disappeared, and a glowing staircase appeared in front of me, extending downwards.

Xia Xiaomo looked at the scene in front of her. She folded the map and put it into her storage ring.

This does not require a map! This does not require a map!

She had made all the necessary preparations for this visit to the tomb. In order to avoid getting lost in the tomb, she memorized most of the routes so as to save some time when exploring the tomb. After all, there was a five-day limit. If she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait until next month.

Two people cannot compare to a whole team. Exploring with a map in hand will greatly affect efficiency, and it will be even more troublesome if you encounter a dead end.

Although he had many questions in his mind, why was there a shortcut that others didn't know about, did he sneak around in the team that went down to the tomb?

Xia Xiaomo stood in front of the stairs and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I could go to the second floor so soon."

To her surprise, the plan she had made in advance seemed to be of no use. She found the stairs leading down not long after entering the first floor.

It is indeed a shortcut.

"Miss Xia, you don't know something." Xu Yeyu walked from behind her to the stairs. "There are three stairs leading down from the first floor. This is one of them. Your map records two stairs going down. This is also one of them."

Xia Xiaomo looked at the stairs and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect there was a third way to go to the second floor."

Xu Yeyu walked down the stairs and said, "You are wrong about one thing. This is the staircase leading to the third floor."

It would be fine if you took a shortcut, but how did this shortcut lead from the second floor to the third floor?

Is this a legitimate shortcut?

Xia Xiaomo stepped carefully on the old stairs. The stairs were eroded by the passage of time, revealing a strong sense of vicissitudes. She looked around. Except for the faint light shining through the arched passage, it was completely dark.

She took out a lantern from her storage ring. The small lantern swayed, casting flickering light and shadows, illuminating the darkness.

The deeper they went down the stairs, the lower the temperature became and the chill gradually encroached. Xu Yeyu remembered that someone had once told him that some girls are afraid of the dark.

"Miss Xia, are you afraid of the dark?"

"I'm fine. What's wrong?"

"I heard that many girls are afraid of the dark, it's good that you don't feel afraid."

It seems that the monk’s daughter is not afraid of the dark, Xu Yeyu thought to himself.
