In a forest outside Twin Lion City, Sun Zhe, dressed in a White Robe, moved forward at a steady pace. A gentle breeze swept through the woods, causing the white Robe to flutter slightly. Above his head, a translucent Crystal Bird soared gracefully, closely following him without any hesitation.
Suddenly, Sun Zhe stopped and looked back sharply, his eyes sparkling with intensity. Noticing his movement, the Crystal Bird curiously turned its gaze toward what lay behind Sun Zhe, its large eyes filled with curiosity.
A moment of silence ensued… Sun Zhe stared intently for a while but found nothing amiss. Even when he scanned the area with his Divine Consciousness, there was no sign of anything unusual within several dozen feet.
“Chirp chirp… chirp chirp…”
As if mocking Sun Zhe's suspicion, the Crystal Bird began to laugh, covering its belly with its wings. Its actions were remarkably similar to those of a child, and combined with its delicate form, it appeared extremely adorable.
However, Sun Zhe paid no attention to the Crystal Bird's "mockery." His brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of confusion flickered in his black eyes. Ever since escaping from the Wasteland of Demons, he had felt as though something was tracking him. No matter how much he probed, he could not discern what it was. Now that strange feeling surged again, yet he still found nothing.
“Could it really just be my imagination?”
Sun Zhe murmured to himself. He knew that the Crystal Bird was an extraordinary creature with keen reflexes; if something were indeed following them, the Crystal Bird would have sensed it long ago.
“If you keep laughing tonight, you can forget about absorbing energy from the Ancient Cauldron.”
Seeing that the Crystal Bird continued to chirp incessantly, Sun Zhe coldly remarked. As soon as he spoke, the bird's chirping abruptly halted. A look of distress appeared on its face, and tears glimmered in its big eyes as if it had suffered a great injustice; it began to whimper softly.
The Crystal Bird had been following Sun Zhe because his Ancient Cauldron had absorbed all the gray energy from the Barbarian Forbidden Zone. This gray energy seemed highly beneficial for its growth; it wanted to consume this energy and could only do so by staying close to Sun Zhe—this was its only vulnerability.
Ignoring the Crystal Bird's feigned distress, Sun Zhe reached out with his right hand and grasped the bird firmly. The Crystal Bird had initially prepared to resist but quickly understood Sun Zhe's serious demeanor. After catching the Crystal Bird, Sun Zhe suddenly stepped forward with his right foot.
Just after taking this step, a Gray Whirlwind suddenly arose around him, and the space between the earth seemed to twist. The calm atmosphere was abruptly shaken, and out of nowhere, terrifying spatial rifts appeared, unleashing countless eerie spatial gales. The entire area was engulfed in this sudden change, and countless plants in the forest were devastated.
However, this surge of energy appeared quickly and vanished just as fast. In the blink of an eye, the frightening spatial energy disappeared within the forest, and the once tranquil woods returned to silence. The only changes were the destroyed trees and the disappearance of Sun Zhe and the Crystal Bird.
Whoosh...
The Autumn Wind began to blow again, echoing with the sounds of swaying plants in the forest. Amidst this gray Autumn Wind, a strange black shadow emerged from where Sun Zhe had just vanished. The figure was completely shrouded in a large black robe, with an eerie aura surrounding it. Particularly striking were its eyes, which glimmered like two swirling voids, exuding an indescribable power that captivated the soul.
If Sun Zhe were still here, he would certainly notice that the aura emitted by this Black Figure was identical to what he had sensed before; it was indeed this Black Phantom that had been tracking him.
After a moment, seemingly sensing the absence of Sun Zhe's presence, those glimmering eyes suddenly lit up with a crescent of black arc. The figure flickered and vanished once more into the Autumn Wind, moving without making a sound.
………………
As space twisted again, when Sun Zhe opened his eyes once more, he found himself in a closed cave. Looking around, he saw that all around him were black stone walls, emanating a chilling aura from these damp surfaces. Even Sun Zhe couldn't help but feel a bit cold.
"Chirp chirp... chirp chirp..."
The Crystal Bird flapped its wings and circled above Sun Zhe, clearly expressing its annoyance at being brought to this strange place.
"Jingjing, stop messing around. Once we get out of here, I'll let you absorb the whole Ancient Cauldron."
Jingjing was the name Sun Zhe had given to the Crystal Bird, contrasting with its translucent appearance. However, the Crystal Bird seemed to have no intention of rejecting this name and accepted it after some playful back-and-forth.
Hearing Sun Zhe's words, Jingjing's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. She stopped calling out and, with a flash of Purple Radiance, her delicate figure appeared on Sun Zhe's shoulder, adopting an extremely quiet and obedient demeanor. Anyone seeing her for the first time would surely be deceived by her seemingly docile appearance.
This place was precisely the Sun Family Ancestral Tomb, which the members of the Golden Thunder Sect had been trying to learn about from Sun Zhe. Although Sun Zhe had never been here before, his father, Sun Tao, had told him how to enter the ancestral tomb before he passed away.
This was also Sun Zhe's first time entering, but the intricate setup of this ancestral tomb far exceeded his expectations. Especially the method of entering the tomb was something Sun Zhe had never seen before. It was no wonder that the powerful Golden Thunder Sect could not find the location of the Sun Family ancestral tomb; this also illustrated the strength of the Sun Clan in those years.
"How could it be set up so secretly? What secrets are hidden within this ancestral tomb?"
A glint flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes as he extended his right hand, and a gleaming Long Sword instantly appeared in his grasp. Although the blade had dulled slightly due to its material, the intense Killing Intent emanating from the sword after absorbing countless bloodshed compensated for this, making it more formidable than an ordinary Divine Weapon.
Now, Sun Zhe's mastery of Sword Technique had firmly entered the Third Realm. Even an ordinary Long Sword in his hands could unleash power comparable to that of a Divine Weapon. He always felt that he was naturally suited to wield a sword, as if blood flowing through his veins was meant for swordsmanship.
Gripping the Fine Iron Long Sword, a serious expression appeared on Sun Zhe's face as he slowly moved forward, stepping cautiously into the cave. Although this was the ancestral tomb of his Sun Family, there could still be dangers ahead. It was wise to prepare for the worst and remain cautious to live longer.
After a moment, as he turned down a path, Sun Zhe stepped forward, and what was referred to as the ancestral tomb immediately came into view. His eyes widened in astonishment.
