Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 296 - 242: Millennium Earth Palace (Part 2)

Chapter 296: Chapter 242: Millennium Earth Palace (Part 2)

At first, the common person didn’t believe it. Just a few months ago, these two guys were chased by a Black Robe and had to disguise themselves to escape from Shuzhou City. Now, their cousin suddenly says that Han Yu can beat a Transcendent Realm Cultivator until they are searching the ground for their teeth.

He wouldn’t even dare to brag like that when he’s out and about.

No matter what, he had to try it himself.

After trying, he was truly convinced. Just during that brief probing moment, if Han Yu wanted to kill, it would have been enough for him to die several times over.

"You’re really something now!"

The common person was astonished, jokingly saying that if anything happened next time, they would just invoke Han Yu’s name.

Han Yu took it seriously, waving his hands quickly; Bai Jingliang’s example was still vivid in his mind. Then he briefly explained the situation with the Corpse Refining Lineage.

Except for the cousin who already knew, everyone else was utterly confused as they listened.

The common person had mentioned before about provoking a small sect in the Southern Border, but no one expected that after tracing its roots, such a terrifying power was backing it.

Han Yu also recounted everything that happened in White Emperor City to his cousin. Even though he ensured the safety of some Mo Clan Members within the parasitized crowd, there were still casualties in the end. Until now, he had yet to find a way to heal them, which left Han Yu a bit guilty.

"It’s not your fault."

The cousin sighed. In such a situation, the deaths and injuries of the clan members couldn’t be held against him. The entire White Emperor City was nearly destroyed. In that situation, how could Han Yu have the energy to deal with these matters?

"I have no idea when the Corpse Refining Lineage might come after me. Be careful not to get yourselves into trouble."

Not confident that someone like the Judge wouldn’t appear using such despicable methods, Han Yu earnestly warned them. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Then he glanced around but didn’t see You Li. She also had a piece of Dragon Blood Stone, intending to warn her, but unexpectedly, she wasn’t among the people who came this time.

To this, the group helplessly expressed.

"You Li hides too well, and it’s hard to find her, otherwise we would have invited her to join the exploration. Then, our Independent Cultivator Self-Improvement Sect would be complete."

Yi Xian spoke with some regret. The Self-Improvement Sect had only a few members, and they still couldn’t all gather together.

"By the way, what on earth did you guys do to unearth a relic?"

Han Yu was very curious about this. The recording from his cousin didn’t explain in detail; it just urged him to come.

Upon saying this, the group first glanced at the common person, who then glanced at Yi Xian.

"Wasn’t it because I bought a book called ’Thousand-Year Treasure Mirror’ with a fortune when I came from overseas? It mentioned that the mainland was full of treasures."

The common person even took out a book while speaking, its cover indeed labeled as the ’Thousand-Year Treasure Mirror.’

"Having been with them all along, I had no chance to use it. I remembered recently and brought Yi Xian and Coconut here for some treasure digging."

The three followed the place depicted in the book, searching all the way to here and digging for three days without finding a single hair.

Coconut was the first to give up, followed by the common person, leaving only Yi Xian enthusiastically continuing to dig alone.

Recalling the situation back then, the common person couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

"As a result, while this unlucky guy was digging, a landslide occurred. The scene was tragic! Coconut and I dug for a long time before we finally rescued him."

"And guess what happened after that?"

The common person spoke mysteriously here. However, the cousin wasn’t indulging him and immediately supplemented the story.

After rescuing Yi Xian, the two found that the collapsed mountain area exposed the entrance to an Earth Palace. Driven by curiosity, the three ventured in for a short while before coming out.

"Mainly because Yi Xian followed in, I was worried that in case of an accident, we’d get buried alive."

The common person was well aware of Yi Xian’s troublesome nature and thus wanted to find more people to help. Even if buried, there would be enough hands for rescue.

So, he called his cousin, who professed to withstand Yi Xian’s troublesome nature but still wanted to go in and thus casually brought Han Yu along.

With this guy here, they wouldn’t fear even if the entire mountain collapsed.

"Come on, now that everyone is here, let’s go in and take a look."

The common person couldn’t wait any longer. Urging repeatedly, he pulled Han Yu over towards the mountain.

It’s less than a hundred meters away, and soon, a spot of upheaved earth appeared, with the disarray revealing a small hole dug arbitrarily, most likely where Yi Xian was buried!

In the depth of the cave’s entrance, about a dozen meters of the mountain were hollowed out, ending with a spiraling downward stairway, the entrance to the Earth Palace.

Once inside, it was pitch black and they couldn’t see their five fingers. Shortly after, a flame flickered in Han Yu’s palm, finally illuminating everything around them.

The staircase was about a hundred steps, leading downward, as everyone involuntarily shivered.

"Do you feel it’s much eerier than the last time?"

Yi Xian suddenly weakly spoke out.

"It truly is."

The common person immediately nodded in agreement.

This caused Coconut much distress. Already apprehensive about being in such a confined environment, their words made him turn ghostly pale.

"Stop scaring me."

"You two, grow up, why scare Coconut!"

The cousin couldn’t help rolling his eyes at them, but after speaking, he also rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

"But indeed, there’s a bit of that!"

Almost scared Coconut out of his wits.

"The three of you are the children."

Then it was Han Yu’s turn to speak grumpily.

After moving along, they found themselves in a long passageway where they could only rely on Han Yu’s flame to see within about ten meters around.

Beyond ten meters, the passage seemed like an abyss, waiting with open jaws for prey to deliver itself.

"Wait, look at the walls."

The cousin kept glancing around as a Mo Family member, instinctively observing spots likely for mechanisms in such places, but what he saw was different.

Everyone quickly followed his finger to look at the walls.

"Are these murals?"

Han Yu walked a few steps forward to illuminate the wall brighter.

Just one look and he was already dumbstruck.

An altar!

How could this thing appear here?

On the wall, there was also an altar depicted with four iron pillars standing, with a Great Cauldron placed in the center.

An inexplicable unease rose in Han Yu’s mind. Anything related to an altar might also relate to the Corpse Refining Lineage.

Deepening his exploration further, he found depictions of people worshipping at the altar next.

Han Yu couldn’t help but speed up, with everyone else quickly following, the mural’s contents growing increasingly bizarre.

In the mural, the offerings before the Great Cauldron on the altar began as various animals and progressively turned into groups of human forms.

Human sacrifice!

Not only Han Yu, but everyone behind him also wore shocked expressions.

There were no more murals further along, only a long stretch of passageway.

Yi Xian and Coconut shivered in sync, chattering teeth loudly.

Even the common person and the cousin, who were in the Divine Gaze Realm, couldn’t prevent themselves from feeling chills.

"What on earth is up ahead, why do I feel uneasy?"

The cousin frowned; it wasn’t out of fear, just a rather uncomfortable feeling, almost directly affecting the physical reaction.

After Han Yu increased the flame, this unpleasant feeling gradually dissipated.

The light also extended further, with the passage’s end less than a hundred steps away.

To go in, or not?

Han Yu hesitated; he was okay, could leave anytime, but he was uncertain about his friends. If danger arose, he might not be able to shield them all.

The cousin seemed to notice his concern and spoke up.

"Since we’re here, let’s at least check it out. If something happens, the common person and I can each carry someone to escape; it’s doable."

The common person quickly nodded along.

Yi Xian and Coconut, even while their teeth chattered, also followed suit, nodding.

Seeing this, Han Yu said nothing more, took a big step forward to lead and guided them toward the passage’s end.

The hundred-step distance was short; once light spread at the end, Han Yu’s expression instantly changed.

"Damn..."
