Chapter 585 - Ancestors Tomb (1/2)
”Another earthquake?” Yuan quickly returned to the immortal caves.
”Is the sky red again?” Yuan asked them when he returned.
”No, the sky hasn't changed this time,” Meixiu said after looking outside.
”Is that so…”
Yuan decided to stay at the immortal caves with Meixiu and the others just in case something were to happen, but sometime in the afternoon, Wang Ming showed up at their immortal caves.
”Wang Ming? What happened?”
”Yuan, come with me. We have discovered something new,” he said.
”Really? Let's go!”
Wang Ming proceeded to bring Yuan and the others to the Wang Family, where Senior Wang was waiting for their arrival.
”What did you find?” Yuan asked her.
”You probably don't know this since we never mentioned it, but we built this place close to our ancestors' tomb, and according to the people who maintain that place, the spiritual energy there has become chaotic and even somewhat menacing. Perhaps there is a clue in that place about the approaching calamity.” Senior Wang said.
And she continued, ”I will be heading there now with the other grand elders. Do you want to come with us?”
”Of course.” Yuan immediately nodded.
”Great. Follow me.”
”Hm? You're not coming?” Yuan asked Wang Ming when he noticed that Wang Ming wasn't following them.
”Only the grand elders and family heads are allowed to approach the ancestors' tomb— not including the people that maintain the cleanliness of that place. Of course, you're an exception.” Wang Ming said.
”I see…”
”What about us?” Meixiu asked.
Senior Wang looked at them and said, ”You guys can come too.”
After all, she didn't have the courage to separate them from Yuan, who could potentially be their savior in this unknown calamity.
The ancestors' tomb was only a few miles away from the Jaded Garden, and it took Yuan and the others about two and a half hours of walking before they arrived at the location.
'That's the ancestors' tomb? It looks so familiar to that place…' Yuan thought to himself when he could finally see the ancestors' tomb that somewhat resembled the treasure room inside the Dragon Temple within Cultivation Online.
”The ancestors' tomb was created thousands of years ago, and it's where all family heads and grand elders go to rest after they permanently close their eyes.” Senior Wang said to them.
A few more minutes later, they arrived at the front of the tomb, where the other grand elders were present.
”What do you think of this place, Elder Wang?” Senior Hong asked when they arrived.
”It's hard to describe the feeling I am getting, but it definitely feels different than usual,” she said.
Senior Hong nodded and said, ”You don't feel it now because you're too far away, but if you stand in front of the doors, your body will start to shiver uncontrollably for some reason. That's why we're all standing here, far away from the doors.”
”Have you tried entering the place yet?” Senior Wang asked.
The others shook their heads.
”Then let's do that right now— together.” Senior Wang then said.
