Chapter 164: Die If You Cannot Pass It!

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

In recent history, there was no warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm that emerged at the Northern Desert. It didn’t mean that there was none in the history. More than 10,000 years ago, a peerless overlord appeared, Long [1] Tianxing, the Dragon King.

That was the only overlord who called himself a king at the Northern Desert in the history of the 10,000 years. He unified the Northern Desert and established the Northern Desert Empire. He dominated the Northern Desert for an entire 3000 years.

Shamefully, as Long Tianxing approached the end of his life, no warrior from the Long Family reached the Human Sovereign Realm. In his life, Long Emperor was tyrannical and he had endless enemies. After Long Tianxing died, the Long Family was destroyed by the allied forces of many families. The Northern Desert Empire fell apart, and the Northern Desert entered an era of powerful warriors fighting for supremacy which continued today.

Maybe Long Tianxing knew that he had antagonized too many people that he found himself a tomb before his death. He invested heavily in building this tomb. He killed all the men working on it before he died.

The Tomb of Dragon King was a mystery all along. Numerous families had wanted to see it for thousands of years. Long Tianxing had a cruel nature; he murdered so many families and looted many treasures, however, when the allied forces wiped the Long Family out, they realized many valuable treasures were gone. Needless to say, they were all at the Tomb of the Dragon King.

Two months ago, the Tomb of the Dragon King finally emerged, in a place that nobody expected, the Cliff of Purgatory.

The Cliff of Purgatory was located to the north of the Thousand-island Lake. The cliff was where Dragon King executed the condemned prisoners. Many death row inmates were dragged here, killed and threw into the lake to feed the Xuan Beast. That was why it was called the Cliff of Purgatory.

There were too many people killed here. Corpses were thrown into the water all year around. Many Xuan Beasts were gathered around in the lake below the cliff. The stones here were tainted red by the blood, and a strong smell of blood could be sensed from a distance.

Hence, for thousands of years, hardly any people got close to the place. Nobody thought that Dragon King had built his own tomb in the Cliff of Purgatory. That was why the Tomb of the Dragon King was not discovered for such a long time.

Two months ago.

A Third-rank Family of the Thousand-island Lake was pursuing an enemy and they got to the Cliff of Purgatory. That enemy unexpected reached the Soul Pond Realm at the critical moment of life and death. A big fight broke out under the Cliff of Purgatory. In the end, while he released his Xuan Energy externally, he accidentally hit the wall of the Cliff of Purgatory. That was how the entrance to the Tomb of the Dragon King was accidentally revealed.

That family immediately sent someone to it to investigate. They found a powerful Inhibition Formation at the entrance, and many powerful warriors could not get in. Instead, a young master of the family went there and easily got in.

That young master toured around inside and brought out with him three treasures, one violet gold chariot, that vase with the Origin Blood Essence in it, and a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact.

The fight caused the attention from nearby forces. The words of the Tomb of the Dragon King spread out soon. The Bai Family sent someone to check and verified that it was the legendary Tomb of the Dragon King.

That being said…

The matter inevitably reached the ears of families outside of the Thousand-island Lake. It just so happened that the Tomb of the Dragon King was at the Cliff of Purgatory, at the lakeside.

So the matter was troublesome. The Bai Family could not declare the lakeside as in their sphere of influence and the Heaven Martial Kingdom could not say it was not in the Thousand-island Lake, either…

Many families stationed troops there. After they argued back and forth, nobody could win. Finally, they decided that one month later, all the forces could send warriors in. Who could get the treasures inside was all dependent on their abilities.

All the families tried to probe it. They found a thing. The Inhibition Formation was too powerful. Maybe it was Dragon King who set it up in person. The only people who could enter were young people younger than 20 years old. If someone tried to force their way in, the Tomb of the Dragon King would explode and turn into ashes.

The families speculated that this was Dragon King’s purposeful actions. He wanted to find a descendant to inherit his teachings.

Madam Yan explained. Her last words made Lu Li’s eyes sparkle. Did it mean that anyone that entered had a chance?

The Dragon King!

The peerless overlord of the Northern Desert 10,000 years ago. How much wealth did he have? How many treasures? Someone went in randomly and easily got a violet gold chariot, a drip of original essential blood and a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact.

If someone could get the Dragon King’s inheritance, how many treasures would he get? How much wealth? How many powerful Xuan Skills?

Lu Li only had the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill now. He wished he could learn more, but many high-rank Xuan Skills were nowhere to be bought.

Those ones were used to serve as the household treasure by many families. How could they sell those? All the Xuan Skills that could be bought were low-rank ones. Lu Li had been focusing on breaking through to new realms, so he didn’t bother to waste time on this.

This time, he had come to the Heaven Prison Island, and the most desired result of Lu Li was to reconcile his disputes with the Bai Family. If that could not happen, he would have to bring the Liu Family and enter the small world to cultivate.

If the Overlord of the Thousand-island Lake had their mind set on going against some force, then the force, no matter which one it was, could only wait for its doom. The Bai Family would not leave any tracks and they would destroy such a force silently.

The one million Xuan Crystals robbed from Patriarch Seven, needless to say, was by someone sent by Bai Xiashuang. As soon as Lu Li entered the auction house, Bai Xiashuang came and forcefully got his products at a low price. Lu Li could not find evidence of foul play…

So, Lu Li was not repellent of Madam Yan wanting to talk with him. The three conditions were not over the line.

The second condition had already been met. He could sell the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots exclusively to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce for sure. It was the third one that awaited further deliberation.

Lu Li thought about it and said, “I am fine with the first condition and the third as well. But I want to say, if Lady Shuang or other young masters and Ladies put me in a difficult position, I will leave immediately.”

“No problem. Deal!”

Without giving it much thought, Madam Yan nodded yes. “I will talk to the people who are going. I will not let them to find you trouble on purpose. Of course, they will not treat you well. You have to tolerate that.”

“A promise is a promise then.”

Lu Li reached out his hand, wanting to seal the deal with Madam Yan by giving her a high-five. Madam Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Li, thinking the young man was getting more and more bodacious. He now wanted to cop a feel above board.

Madam Yan patted Lu Li’s hand with her hand as delicate as jade. Lu Li felt like he had touched nephrite. The feeling was beautiful, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Lu Li got up and walked out. He turned around after he got down from the outdoor pavilion and said, “Madam Yan, it is late now. Take some rest. Goodbye.”

Madam Yan waved her hand with a smile. Chief Steward Bai walked over silently. He took Lu Li to the Teleportation Formation and arranged someone to escort him back to the Heaven Prison City.

Chief Steward Bai didn’t see Lu Li off in person. After Lu Li was teleported to the foot of the mountain, Chief Steward Bai returned to the outdoor pavilion. He asked with confusion, “Madam, why are you treating him so nicely all of a sudden? Is he really the son of Lu Renhuang?”

“I am not certain if he is really Lu Renhuang’s son.”

Madam Yan smiled lightly. She took sips out of the goblet of wine and said, “But he is a dragon that is dormant inside a deep abyss. Someday, he may soar to the sky. So… I have changed my mind and want to befriend him.”

“Then why do you want to send him to the Tomb of Dragon King? You know what Lady Shuang is like.” Chief Steward Bai sighed lightly and said, “Maybe the young man cannot come back if he goes to the Tomb of the Dragon King with Lady Shuang.”

“We can tell if he is a real dragon or just snake from his visit to the Tomb of the Dragon King.”

Madam Yan looked over to the north and said, “There will be a lot of talents gathered here from all over the Northern Desert this time. All the Big Families will send out their top level genius disciples. If Lu Li can get his hands on some treasures with this crowd around him, then he is a true dragon. True dragons are destined to rise up rapidly. He is worthy of our friendship. If he is not, then he can keep the Dragon King company…”

“I understand, Madam.”

Chief Steward Bai nodded his head. The performance of Lu Li at the auction house tonight had made Madam Yan look at him with new eyes. However, Madam Yan still wanted to test Lu Li. The Tomb of the Dragon King was best place for the test.

If Lu Li could pass the test, he could get Madam Yan’s friendship.

If not, he would die!

[1] Long, “龙”, means dragon which is why he is called the Dragon King.

On the Great Land of China, forces clashed for the sake of supremacy and Bloodline Warriors ran amok; the conflict of the strong threatened to shatter heaven and earth. A young man named Lu Li—nothing more than a humble Coffin Carrier from the Northern Desert—came along with Lu Ling, his sister. The two were regarded as puny insects and bullied, but little did people know that Lu Li had the strongest Bloodline of them all in him. He mounted the most handsome of horses and drank the strongest of wines; He bedded the most beautiful of ladies and murdered the most hated of people; He told a huge lie and carried with him an ill-reputation undeserved; He traveled all by his lonesome and danced with devils; He had given his word that he would come back, that he would be strong. And it was because of this that she was still waiting in the city—alone.
