The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 3045: Chapter 3020: Seeking Life! Seeking Death! (5 Updates)

When Lin Bai reached the end of this passageway, two paths appeared ahead, each leading to different places.

Just before these two passageways, the words "Seek Life" and "Seek Death" were written.

Standing before these two passageways, Lin Bai smiled indifferently and said, "Although we’re here to hunt for treasure, we certainly don’t want to die. Naturally, we choose ’Seek Life’!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, holding the Nightlight Stone, and walked toward the path of ’Seek Life’.

But just as Lin Bai was about to step into this passageway, he suddenly paused in his tracks and had a flash of insight.

Lin Bai halted before the ’Seek Life’ passageway, his gaze slowly turning toward the ’Seek Death’ path.

"Ha-ha." Lin Bai immediately turned around, leaving the ’Seek Life’ path without hesitation, and walked firmly into the ’Seek Death’ passageway.

As to why Lin Bai chose the ’Seek Death’ path, perhaps only Lin Bai himself knew.

Walking within the ’Seek Death’ passage, Lin Bai murmured, "The first words that appeared within the Iron Box were ’The sea of bitterness is boundless; turning back is the shore’, which perhaps coincides with these two passageways here!"

"The ’Seek Life’ path probably leads to letting the Warrior leave Longshan in the end! That is a path of life!"

"While the ’Seek Death’ path presumably leads to the Dragon Corpse and faces the challenges set by the Daogu Tribe!"

Lin Bai chuckled, walking inside the ’Seek Death’ path without turning back.

After walking for some time, Lin Bai saw a small snake coiled on the ground in the passage ahead. Upon spotting Lin Bai, it flicked its tongue several times.

Lin Bai waved his hand, defeated the little snake, and continued to move forward.

...

In a vast plaza stood a Bronze Man roughly one hundred meters tall, its eyes glaring angrily and its presence exuding majesty as it stared down.

Currently, in front of the Bronze Man stood several Warriors.

"The Daogu Tribe’s Warriors passed just like that?" Bai Qing said incredulously.

Ye Suxin, standing beside Bai Qing, said softly, "They carry the bloodline of the Daogu Tribe’s direct descendants. This place was originally established by the Daogu Tribe, so with the bloodline, they can naturally pass without obstacle!"

Bai Qing nodded silently.

Ye Suxin said softly, "Bai Qing, remember what I told you!"

Bai Qing replied expressionlessly, "Zhao Yue, I still can’t believe what you said is true, but after I return to the Poison God Clan, I will try to find the truth!"

Ye Suxin shook his head, saying, "Too much time has passed; you might have difficulty finding the answers you seek!"

Bai Qing remained silent, not saying a word.

At that moment, the Snake King suddenly furrowed his brow, turned to look into the passage, and said quietly, "Sect Leader, someone is coming!"

Ye Suxin asked, "Who?"

The Snake King whispered, "It’s a Sword Cultivator!"

Ye Suxin frowned, saying, "It’s the Sword Pavilion Clan!"

The Snake King’s expression changed slightly, whispering, "I’m afraid it’s someone here!"

Ye Suxin’s face shifted, saying quietly, "Lin Bai’s here? Impossible, we found this place so quickly entirely because Bai Qing used Flying Mosquitoes to spread across all the mountain caves in Longshan, allowing us to find the entrance quickly!"

"How could Lin Bai arrive here so quickly?"

Ye Suxin said incredulously.

Just as Ye Suxin said, besides the Warriors of the Daogu Tribe, they reached this place all due to Bai Qing utilizing the power of poisons, spreading across Longshan, instantly finding all the mountain caves, hence uncovering the entrance to the Dragon Tomb!

But Lin Bai, without the Flying Mosquitoes, Ye Suxin simply couldn’t fathom how he arrived here so swiftly.

The Snake King shook his head slightly, "Perhaps that is his terrifying trait! This individual, his mind is like that of a demon!"

Bai Qing said softly, "Lin Bai, is he the crucial element in the plan you mentioned? I’ve met him once before; I don’t believe he possesses the ability to overthrow the Poison God Clan!"

"With his power, undoubtedly seeking death!"

Bai Qing said expressionlessly.

Ye Suxin chuckled softly, "Then tell me, how many on the Barbaric Ancient Continent can destroy the Poison God Clan?"

"Even the Central Holy Nation might not succeed in wanting to obliterate the Poison God Clan!"

Bai Qing nodded slightly.

Despite Lin Bai having gone to the Northern Continent, visited the Sword God Family, been to the East Continent, and attended the East Continent Academy, having seen many geniuses and strong ones.

Yet the strong ones Lin Bai encountered on this journey were just the tip of the iceberg.

In superpowers like the Poison God Clan, Sword God Family, and East Continent Academy, countless Old Monsters exist.

If truly provoking them to desperation, the foundation these superpowers can unleash is enough to shake the entire Barbaric Ancient Continent!

In every superpower, some strong ones remain hidden, while others are visible.

Take, for example, the East Continent Academy.

On the surface, the East Continent Academy only has the Nine Elders from the Order Divine Court overseeing the grand scheme.

And the disciples of the East Continent Academy, even the Saints, can only see these Nine Elders.

But behind these Nine Elders, how many strong ones remain unknown within the Four Ancient Families, within the East Continent Academy?

On the Barbaric Ancient Continent, many Warriors categorize the strong ones hiding behind these superpowers into four levels.

These four levels are: Power-holding Strong Ones, Life and Death Pass Strong Ones, Hidden Venerable Strong Ones, and Ancestors!

Power-holding Strong Ones are the representatives of each superpower; they manage interpersonal relationships within the superpowers, like Gu Daozhi and Lan Ling of the East Continent Academy and Yejian Zun and Edsword Lord from the Sword God Family are Power-holding Strong Ones.

Life and Death Pass Strong Ones are those within these superpowers, reaching a bottleneck in cultivation, forced into retreat to breakthrough. They possess mountainous power but have limited lifespan, typically only emerging during storms and upheavals.

Within superpowers like the East Continent Academy, Sword God Family, and Poison God Clan, Life and Death Pass Strong Ones are numerous, usually remaining unseen!

Hidden Venerable Strong Ones have reached the peak cultivation state on the Barbaric Ancient Continent; they no longer hold power, retreat to contemplate Tiandao, aspiring to breakthrough to higher cultivation states.

Yet the power of Hidden Venerable Strong Ones is extremely terrifying; for instance, when someone like Gu Daozhi or Lan Ling relinquishes power in the East Continent Academy and retreats behind the scenes, they are called Hidden Venerable Strong Ones.

The last type, Ancestor-level Strong Ones, are living fossils who, through secret skills and lifespan-increasing spiritual medicine, have lived for over a thousand years.

Such strong ones, even a single cough, could shake the Barbaric Ancient Continent for three days!

Typically, unless a superpower faces annihilation, Ancestors rarely intervene.

In superpowers like the Sword God Family, Poison God Clan, and East Continent Academy, although just a few Power-holding Strong Ones appear publicly, once you engage in battle with them, the foundation they unleash, with Life and Death Pass Strong Ones all emerging, Hidden Venerable Strong Ones appearing, and Ancestors intervening, would be enough to stir the winds across the Barbaric Ancient Continent.

Just like what Lin Bai previously saw recorded in the Ancient Books of the Daogu Tribe, during the succession struggle tens of thousands of years ago, the Sword God Family simultaneously mobilized over fifty strong ones of the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm to secure the Central Holy Nation.

These fifty-plus powerhouses of the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm were mainly Life and Death Pass Strong Ones; ordinarily, they wouldn’t concern themselves with trivial matters on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, only emerging on the Sect’s orders!

For the Sword God Family to mobilize over fifty strong ones of the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm so easily implies the foundation within the Sword God Family at that time possibly included hundreds of strong ones of the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm, such a foundation that cannot be easily challenged by anyone!
