Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 338 - : The Stone Platform in the Huang Desert
Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Stone Platform in the Huang Desert
The cultivators who escaped from the ancient tomb conveyed their experiences inside to other cultivators through various means, in great detail.
In just one day’s time, the wrongdoings of Li Shisan and his companions in the ancient tomb were known throughout the entire cultivator community.
Almost everyone knew that Ling City had an ancient tomb of cultivators, guarded by a Demon Beast with a Spirit Cultivation Level.
The tomb’s guardian Demon Beast at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, the tomb of cultivators.
When these pieces of information were combined, they immediately caught everyone’s attention.
On that day, groups of nearby cultivators traveled thousands of miles to rush towards the tomb.
Their goal was very clear, it was the ancient tomb.
…
Li Xiaoyao had been walking for a whole day and night, crossing over mountain after mountain.
Just when he was almost at his limit, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
An endless desert lay before him; Li Xiaoyao stood at the border between the grassland and the desert, stunned for a dozen seconds before exclaiming, “Holy shit!”
He glanced back and assured himself that he had indeed come from over a high mountain, and that there were many similarly majestic mountains around him.
But what was the deal with the desert in front of him?
This desert was so abrupt, like walking down a street, turning a corner, and suddenly finding the world had turned into a post-apocalyptic zombie wasteland, leaving one unable to tell whether this was reality or an illusion.
Li Xiaoyao was now in such a situation, and he even had the surreal impression that he might be dreaming.
The strong emotions from the ring brought Li Xiaoyao back to his senses.
It seemed there might be something in the desert.
Without hesitation, Li Xiaoyao stepped into the desert, becoming even more vigilant.
Nie Xiaoqian appeared from the ancient jade and stood beside Li Xiaoyao, her expression solemn as she looked out over the limitless desert and said, “Master, over there, there’s a very strong aura.”
“Really? Why can’t I feel it?” Li Xiaoyao truly couldn’t sense it, perhaps because his Cultivation Level wasn’t as high as Nie Xiaoqian’s.
“What kind of aura is it? Is it dangerous?”
Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, “Xiaoqian isn’t quite sure how to describe it, but in any case, it’s very powerful.”
Upon hearing this, the bit of confidence that Li Xiaoyao had managed to muster up collapsed instantly.
The emotions from the ring grew stronger and stronger, and eventually, Li Xiaoyao clenched his teeth and said, “Fortune comes with risk, and without entering the tiger’s den, one cannot capture its cubs.”
Nie Xiaoqian did not return to the ancient jade; she held up an oiled paper umbrella, walking shoulder to shoulder with Li Xiaoyao.
After walking for hundreds of miles, the desert around them was barren and uninhabited. If it were an ordinary person, by now they would have been dizzy and passed out in the desert.
Even with a strong will, Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help feeling irritable at this time.
After walking for so long, besides the constant emotions from the ring, there were no other indications of anything.
“If there’s still no discovery by this time tomorrow, I’ll leave.”
Li Xiaoyao set a firm deadline in his heart, as it would not be worth it to spend all his time here.
The setting sun dipped below the horizon, its orangish glow illuminating half the sky.
Perhaps such a beautiful sunset could only be seen in a place like this.
The irritable mood was much relieved by the beautiful dusk.
Enchanting singing floated over from the horizon, and Li Xiaoyao looked up, seeing in the distant sky the figures of women dressed in ancient attire dancing gracefully, like fairies.
Li Xiaoyao was captivated, entranced by the sight.
Pale moon-colored petals fell from the sky, and the dry desert at that moment seemed like the Immortal Realm.
Nie Xiaoqian, standing beside him with an increasingly grave expression, said, “Master, this place is very strange; we should go back.”
Li Xiaoyao knew this, but it was precisely these strange occurrences that firmed his resolve to continue forward.
The fairies dancing elegantly in the sky, the petals descending from above— all of this shattered Li Xiaoyao’s understanding of the world.
This place might just be the fabled Immortal Realm.
How much fortune must one possess to step foot into the Immortal Realm?
Now that such an opportunity had fallen into Li Xiaoyao’s lap, how could he possibly let it go?
As night fell, the fairies vanished.
The desert was tranquil, not even a wisp of wind stirred.
Such a lonely atmosphere bred an unnamed sense of panic.
Li Xiaoyao, feeling slightly tired, crossed his legs and sat down in the desert, saying to Nie Xiaoqian, “Miss Xiaoqian, I’m going to meditate for a while. Please watch over the surroundings for me. If anything happens, wake me up immediately.”
“Alright, my lord, rest assured.” Nie Xiaoqian put away her umbrella and stood beside Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t know when he fell asleep; there was no sign, just an irresistible wave of sleepiness.
When he groggily opened his eyes, he found Nie Xiaoqian leaning against him, also asleep.
Alarmed, Li Xiaoyao gently shook Nie Xiaoqian’s shoulder, waking her up.
“What happened? How did I fall asleep?” Nie Xiaoqian rubbed her smooth forehead, looking puzzled.
Li Xiaoyao helped her stand up, his gaze sweeping across the area, but he couldn’t distinguish any directions.
Getting lost in the desert is the most terrifying thing.
More terrifying than that was their unwitting slumber.
Both were cultivators with strong cultivation levels. Even the most potent of sleeping drugs had long ceased to have any effect on them.
Yet, they had still slipped into unconsciousness.
“There’s a mysterious force here,” said Li Xiaoyao with a grave voice.
“My lord, look!” Nie Xiaoqian suddenly pointed towards the distance, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Li Xiaoyao followed the direction of her finger, his pupils contracting sharply.
It could’ve been several hundred meters or even several thousand meters away.
There, stood a colossal stone platform.
They walked towards the stone platform and after four hours, finally reached it.
It was a circular stone platform. Li Xiaoyao glanced at it briefly and estimated that the radius of the platform must be over a thousand kilometers.
And in the middle of that platform stood a stone platform hundreds of meters large…
It was like layers of complete circular stone platforms stacked on top of each other, one layer upon another.
The highest platform was over a hundred meters from the ground.
Li Xiaoyao looked up, filled with astonishment.
What kind of existence could have built such an immense stone platform in the desert?
Perhaps, only the power of the gods could undertake such a vast project.
Li Xiaoyao speculated that this ascending circular stone platform might have been used for offerings by a tribe during ancient mythological times.
“My lord, should we go up? I can sense that the strong aura is coming from above,” Nie Xiaoqian said with a hint of apprehension.
The vibration of the ring grew stronger, and its emotions more intense.
Having reached this place, was he supposed to turn back and leave? This was not something Li Xiaoyao could do.
No matter what was on top, he had to see it for himself.
“Let’s go up!” Li Xiaoyao’s eyes were resolute.
