"You will be tested beyond your limits inside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. You will experience things that you wouldn't have even in your worst nightmares. There is an extremely high fatality rate inside where over half of those that enter never come back out. Even as a Peak Spirit King, I still have to tread the place with extreme care. If you are willing to go into purgatory and experience the worst of this world, then explore the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. If you cherish your life, avoid it at all cost." Yu Jian continued to speak in a solemn voice, his words sending chills down all of the disciples' spine.

Of course, he was not trying to scare the disciples on purpose. Every word that came out of his mouth was the truth and what he'd personally experienced, and he wanted them to know that the Nameless Emperor's Tomb wasn't a playground for the weak. Hell, even the strong are considered weak inside, so one could say the 'strong' doesn't exist when they are within the tomb.

After taking a breather, Yu Jian continued, "With that being said, if you decide to challenge the Nameless Emperor's Tomb despite the danger, you could be rewarded with unfathomably powerful treasures or techniques that far surpass what should be allowed in our realm, just like our founder, who became one of the strongest cultivators during his era because he took the risks and was rewarded for it."

The disciples swallowed nervously as they imagined the possibilities.

Just several treasures from the Nameless Emperor's Tomb made a rogue cultivator who used to be a nobody into a powerhouse and the founder of a top 5 sect. And since nobody knows how deep the tomb goes since not a single soul has ever reached the end, the possibilities were literally endless.

What if there exists a treasure at the end of the tomb that allows one to literally rule the Nine Heavens? Such a thought would normally be considered as a delusion, but when it comes to the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, this delusion seemed more realistic.

"Now let's talk about the Nameless Emperor's Tomb itself. While nobody knows when it first appeared or when it was first discovered, we've been exploring it for at least a hundred thousand years now, but despite our efforts, we still don't know how much we've explored or how long it'll take before we learn its secrets."

"Unlike most Legacy Tombs, the Nameless Emperor's Tomb is like a different world itself that one can explore freely with the only restriction being their own strength. Although most of the treasures in the outer areas are long gone, there are still new secrets being uncovered every time we enter, and there are powerful techniques waiting for those who can comprehend them."

Yu Jian would continue to talk about the Nameless Emperor's Tomb for several more minutes before he dismissed the disciples.

"Those of you determined enough to risk your life for a better life, come here in seven days and I will bring you to hell. You are dismissed."

Many disciples stuck around to talk to their friends and fellow disciples even after being dismissed.

"What do you think? Are you having second thoughts about the tomb now?" Tian Yanyu asked Yuan in a teasing voice.

"Even if it's a 90 percent chance of dying, I will still be willing to go." Yuan smiled.

Tian Suyin showed up a moment later.

"Is he causing you any trouble?" She asked Tian Yanyu the moment she appeared.

"Of course not." Tian Yanyu shook her head with a bittersweet smile.

"Is that so? Anyways, do you plan on entering the tomb this year? If you are, I want you to come with me and your father."

"I do… but…" Tian Yanyu glanced at Yuan before continuing, "I was thinking about going with Xiao Yang…"

"What?" Tian Suyin frowned, and she shifted her focus to Yuan.

"You're also going to enter the tomb? Are you going by yourself? Stop dragging my daughter into trouble with you."

"M-Mother! What are you saying?! Have you forgotten about his strength? He's strong enough to defeat the Silent Rippers by himself! If there's only one person in this place that is qualified to protect me, it's him!"

"Actually, your mother is right, Miss Yanyu. I plan on going as deep as I can, and I am not confident in protecting myself, much less someone else."

Tian Yanyu showed clear disappointment on her face after hearing his words, but it was not like she didn't understand where he was coming from.

"Y-You're right. I'm sorry. It was incredibly selfish of me to force you to protect me when the Nameless Emperor's Tomb could threaten even a peak Spirit King's life. I guess I've been spoiled by you a little."

Yuan smiled and said, "I don't mind traveling with you at first, but we will have to separate once it becomes too dangerous."

"What do you think, mother? Can he come with us?" Tian Yanyu turned to look at her with pleading eyes.

"I'm not senseless enough to deny more helping hands, especially one as capable as his…" She said.

It was at this moment another voice resounded, "May I interrupt your conversation for a second?"

They turned to see Yu Jian standing right next to them.

"S-Sect Leader!" Tian Suyin was startled by his sudden appearance.

"Don't mind me. I only want to speak with this young man for a bit." Yu Jian spoke while his gaze stared at Yuan's handsome face.

"I'm Yu Jian, Sect Leader of the Jade Sword Manor."

'The Sect Leader is introducing himself first…?' Tian Suyin swallowed nervously when she saw this, as this meant that he respected Yuan enough to become humble.

"Nice to meet you, Senior Yu. I'm Xiao Yang, a wandering cultivator."

"Senior…? There's no need to be humble when we're both peak Spirit Kings. In fact, I might even be inferior to you when it comes to raw talent." Yu Jian shook his head.

He noticed Yuan's profound aura even before he arrived at the Grand Jade Peak, but he has been resisting his urges to speak with Yuan until now.
