Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 121: Tomb

Close Horizon From Cliff was a widely known spatial spell, yet hardly anyone could master it. As it delved into the original essence of spatial spells, only those with great comprehension and fortuitous opportunities could master it. After they did so, the world would be their oyster.

“So the place you thought of was the edge of a cliff. What a unique location!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy exclaimed in awe. This junior is indeed impressive! He mastered such a difficult spell like Close Horizon From Cliff so quickly.

“Unique my ass! I was thinking of Heaven’s Gate Peak. What is this place?!” Lu Yang yelled, just like how anyone would lose their composure when suddenly appearing over a cliff.

The worst thing is that I’m falling! If I crash into the hard ground, becoming a pile of mushy meat would be the best outcome I can hope for.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s expression instantly changed. If anything were to happen to Lu Yang, that little lass would definitely make me pay the price with my disintegrated soul!

“Quick, let me control your body. I’ll rescue you!”

Lu Yang could never place his hopes in the never-reliable Everlasting Immortal Fairy in such a critical moment. His speed of descent was only getting faster; he needed to find a way to land safely.

Inhaling a deep breath, Lu Yang forced himself to remain calm. Since it was pitch-black below him, he couldn’t see anything, so his fear of heights didn’t pose a problem.

“Close Horizon From Cliff!” Lu Yang prayed that the newly learned spell could teleport him back, which would be the best outcome.

The falling Lu Yang instantly vanished, reappearing over the cliff.

Lu Yang, “...”

Looks like I won’t be going back anytime soon. That doesn't matter; I have a backup plan.

“To Inches!” Lu Yang shrunk himself while retaining the original size of his clothes. He desperately grabbed the ends of his clothes and formed a makeshift parachute, finally slowing down.

“Whew—” Lu Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Yang hovered unsteadily amidst the precipitous cliff walls around him, on tenterhooks about the fate that lay ahead of him.

“Look, the cliff wall over there has a protrusion that appears to be a platform. You should land there!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy shouted.

“Where? Why don’t I see it?” Lu Yang frowned.

“On the left, it’s just to the left! Your spiritual consciousness doesn’t extend as far as mine, so I can see it first!”

Lu Yang followed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s directions and managed to land on a platform. Only when his feet touched the ground did Lu Yang finally relax. That really scared me out of my wits.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked at Lu Yang suspiciously. “Did you really use Close Horizon From Cliff just now?” I’ve used it many times, but never once have I encountered a situation like this.

“I think so...” Lu Yang was also not very certain. He now had a better understanding of his talent in spells and knew that Yun Zhi couldn’t entirely be blamed for him going astray.

I am also partly responsible.

“At the very least, it’s a proper spatial technique, and it did work in teleporting me away,” Lu Yang comforted himself.

Moreover, there was another advantage to Lu Yang picking up Close Horizon From Cliff. The main fear of cultivators who practiced spatial spells was meeting enemies with the same expertise, where they could predict one’s teleportation destination and pursue them relentlessly.

However, Lu Yang did not need to worry about such situations. After all, even he didn’t know where he would teleport himself to.

“Speaking of which, where is this place?” Lu Yang gazed up at the sky. The precipitous cliff walls only offered him a sliver of the blue sky, making it impossible to discern his location.

I wonder how far away I am from the Dao-Seeking Sect. Or is this still the Central Continent?

“Wherever it is, don’t be scared,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy cheered Lu Yang up. “With me here to protect you, nothing will go wrong!”

Lu Yang thought to himself, Is this what they mean by counting on yourself rather than depending on gods and immortals? At least I’m aware of where my abilities stand. The gods and immortals don’t know.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy urged, “Let’s go in and check it out. This appears to be a cave abode.”

“Might as well.”

As soon as Lu Yang stepped inside, he heard a loud bang behind him—the stone doors had closed.

Despite Lu Yang gritting his teeth and exerting all his strength, the stone doors didn’t budge an inch.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s expression grew serious. “Don’t waste your strength. This door is refined by an expert. It’s not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator like yourself can move.”

With the doors tightly shut, the cave abode was now completely engulfed in darkness.

Just as Lu Yang wanted to use the Three Flavored True Fire to illuminate the surroundings, both sides of the cave suddenly glowed with a faint light; the sides of the long cave passage were lined with luminous stones.

“Luminous pearls?”

Lu Yang kept feeling that he had heard about this arrangement style of luminous pearls before. Where did I hear of it?

“We have no choice but to go deeper.”

Within the empty passage, only the sound of Lu Yang’s footsteps could be heard, creating an eerie and strange atmosphere.

Upon arriving at the end of the passage, Lu Yang saw two rows of imposing terracotta soldiers wielding various magical artifacts, as if they were guarding something. They surrounded a stele inscribed with “The Deceased Lives Eternal.”

Lu Yang finally realized where the sense of familiarity had come from. Isn’t this a tomb?

“The Deceased Lives Eternal” was a common epitaph among humans.

His blood ran cold, never expecting himself to walk into a tomb.

“This...this is a tomb?!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pretended to put on a calm facade, but her slightly quivering voice gave it away.

“Seems like it.” Lu Yang nodded solemnly, feeling that he had gotten swept up in something big.

Gulp. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy swallowed nervously.

A slightly comical guess slipped into Lu Yang’s mind. “Immortal Fairy, you aren’t scared of ghosts, are you?”

“Who...who would be scared of such things? I’m a dignified immortal.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s voice was trembling.

“But you’re shivering.”

“From the cold.”

“Do you still remember your title?”

“The Everlasting Immortal Fairy.”

“With a title like yours, you’d be considered a big shot like the jiangshi[1] founder in the tomb-raiding world. What’s there to be scared of?”

Recalling how the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had vowed to protect him just now, Lu Yang was further convinced that not believing her absurd words was the wisest decision he had made.

“You don’t have to be scared. I happen to have a few books about tombs with me.” Lu Yang took out the book Tomb Raiding Takeaways, which was a gift of appreciation from the head of the Shang Family after slaying the Painted Skin Ghost. I didn’t think I'd find a use for it here.

“Oh, you have such good stuff?” Light danced in the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s eyes. Why are tombs and ghosts scary? It’s naturally because they belong to the “unknown.” With the knowledge from this book, I’ll be much less scared.

“Open it up and see what’s written. Does it introduce what type of tomb this is?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy urged.

The book had been untouched by Lu Yang ever since he obtained it, but it wasn’t too late to take a look at it now.

Flipping to the first page, he softly read out, “According to Article 532 of the Great Xia Penal Code, mortals and Qi Training cultivators found guilty of raiding tombs of historical, artistic, or cultivation value shall face imprisonment of no less than three years and no more than ten years, and a fine. For lighter offenses, imprisonment of less than three years and a fine shall apply.

“Foundation Establishment cultivators found guilty of this crime shall receive double the sentence of Qi Training cultivators.”

Isn’t this book too reliable?
