For a while, the situation between the major factions dominating the city was mostly fine. Tense, but no actions were taken on any of the sides.

However, once the giant crypt's secrets would be finally dispelled and its treasures revealed themselves, it would definitely bring about an apocalyptic and bloody battle royale to everyone present.

On this day, a fair young Draconic Skink Azure Myst Sect female disciple came before Aiden's abode and knocked on his door, requesting for him to gather at the Main Hall.

Aiden sat in a meditative or in a 'lotus' position in the center of the room with the dark blade, Rygintarth placed horizontally before him. Letting out a deep breath, he opened his eyes which shone clear as water with a calm, tranquil expression.

He knew that Tai Liu would not send someone to disturb him unless it was absolutely necessary. Now that they were knocking on his door, it was most likely because something big was happening. Most likely the long awaited grand event, the Ancient Burial Ground would open up!

Exhaling a lungful of air, Aiden slowly pushed himself off from the ground and without any more words nodded at the young maiden Azure Myst Sect disciple and followed her. The two soon arrived at the Main Hall.

The Main Hall was already filled with countless people by now. At a single glance, there were close to a thousand people!

It was a massive force by Aiden's standards. He finally understood what was meant by a major sect.

Before entering this ancient battlefield for the stupid event in Higrove, they have sent in four teams in total with a total amount of people not reaching half of the size that have just gathered in this room. At then, they were told that this was the absolute limit they could have sent and that it was already enough as this world was mostly deserted and barren. Devoid of life.

Yet, now, in this supposed dead wasteland of a realm, where his original 'assigned' task was to unearth heavenly treasures for the Masked Mistress so that she could claim the governing position and become that worthless city's main leader, he looked at a force at least twice the amount of theirs. And this was just one faction out of the gods' know how many!

The difference between them was like Heaven and Earth.

Tai Liu nodded in greeting when she saw Aiden enter. Unlike his ordinary self, the Elderly Uncle who was always standing behind Tai Liu acting as her sole guardian, surprisingly took the initiative to smile at Aiden as well.

Not just them, but even Aiden's captains were present as well.

Suddenly, Aiden felt a hostile, borderline murderous intent coming his way and could not help but frown. Turning around, he glared over without being subtle.

He was surprised to look at an unexpected party staring at him with hateful eyes. It was Juno Hian.

Several days ago, Juno Hian fainted after taking one hit from Aiden. Though at the time, he looked to be severely injured, luckily that was not the case.

In reality, Juno Hian was not severely injured because Aiden showed him mercy. Thanks to the miraculous elixirs of Azure Myst Sect, Juno Hian recovered within a couple of days, just in time for the grand opening event.

When he saw Aiden looking in his direction, Juno Hian turned away hurriedly and avoided the former's gaze, looking somewhat shifty and fearful.

*Khm!*

"[Reptilian] Everyone!" Right then, Tai Liu's voice sounded and the chatter in the crowd softened gradually to silence.

As she gradually received the full attention of everyone present, Tai Liu said in a deep voice.

"[Reptilian] In at most two days, the seal of Ancient Burial Grounds will be dispelled entirely. At that time, a cruel battle will await everyone. Please be prepared."

"[Reptilian] Though it may have seemed otherwise how the High Priest claims it his property, the Ancient Burial Grounds is actually located a couple of miles to the north of Ugburg City, just outside of its outer sectors, in a valley. Due to its terrain, the valley is covered in eternal fog that cannot be dispersed throughout the year and visibility is extremely low. That is also the reason why the Ancient Burial Ground ruins haven't been fully discovered until now."

These were extremely valuable news and everyone listened attentively.

"[Reptilian] The dispelling of the Ancient Burial Ground ruins' seal does not mean that we can have a smooth journey and arrive safely. According to the scouting of a few junior brothers, the valley is home to many pure-blooded wild beasts, mostly surviving from the past era and should-be-extinct ancient lifeforms with terrifying strength!"

"[Reptlian] "The lifespan of these demonic beasts is much longer than that of ours. These pure-blooded wild beasts have not been able to follow the rules of this world and become true Magic Beasts, forming their Inner Cores due to the rules of that place. However, their strengths are at least at the peak of the Martial Knight realm and they are extremely terrifying!"

Aiden furrowed his brows slightly.

Through those simple statements, he could tell how dangerous it was and that the situation was not to be underestimated!

First, although they had the advantage in numbers with close to a thousand or so disciples. They could not compare with the pure-blooded, wild ferocious beasts and those mysterious ancient lifeforms that have resided and reproduced in the ancient battlefield for countless years! That place was like its own, unique world on its own.

Second, this place was deep in this underground realm. Pure-blooded ferocious beasts aside, even the most ordinary ancient lifeforms possessed terrifying strength! 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

And third, the environment itself. The environment was extremely unfavorable for them.

After countless years of untainted existence, Aiden was sure that the intelligence of those pure-blooded ferocious beasts was not inferior to any of these Draconic Skinks or lizardfolk for that matter.

The reason why they rarely attacked the city was because they knew that these people had the terrain advantage and they couldn't win.

However, the situation was reversed this time round. Now, these people would be coming to their territory, accepting the disadvantage.

The demon beasts had the terrain advantage this time around! 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

All the factions had limited knowledge about the valley and did not know much about the terrain within. However, these fearsome, ancient beasts that had lived inside for countless years knew everything.

Apart from that, there was an even scarier reality…. the night!

Tai Liu said.

"[Reptilian] With the fog surrounding the valley, our vision is reduced and it's hard for us to fight at maximum strength. When night arrives, our vision of sight will be further reduced. At that time, if we're surrounded by pure-blooded wild beasts…"

Tai Liu did not go on but everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

After a brief pause, Tai Liu continued.

"[Reptilian] That is why we have to enter the territory of the Ancient Burial Ground ruins before the first night! Once night falls that would be our death sentence. We will sleep in the valley forever without being able to see the light of the second day!"

The final test, the culmination of all of Aiden's journey in this world was finally about to arrive. Others that have come to this world, would probably roam the surface and face the fake face of this world. They would tread through the scorched earth, whilst battling with the massive heat. Devoid of Life their main enemy would be the lack of sustenance and the scarcity of resources during the month-long stay they were forced to undertake.

Their journey would be vastly different. Maybe they would encounter some great luck, or find themselves in a massive calamity, a major disaster, potentially spelling their doom.

Aiden didn't know how the others fared. He only knew that his sister and his team he was separated from was forcefully pulled back and teleported away. Through the magical, heaven-defying system's ability, he could still feel Galina's state and that he was mostly healthy, though a bit distressed nowadays…

Because he was busy solidifying his strength and preparing for the Ancient Burial Ground's opening, Aiden did not know what was happening back on Eora, nor did he cared too much. As long as those he cared about were safe it was okay. He had several major system quests to complete, as well as save this strange race from the clutches of the Ancient One, the treacherous world guardian before he could leave this world.

"[Reptilian] Everyone, all the major factions of Ugburg City will be gathered this time around, including sects and major clans like Crystal Palace Sect and the Malefic Demons Clan. There will definitely be a bloody battle when the time comes."

Tai Liu said solemnly with a stern expression.

"[Reptilian] Our Azure Myst Sect can give up on the other treasures if the situation seems bad. However, we must fight and get our hands on the Ancient Burial Ground's Elixir Recipes and Alchemy Inheritance!"
