Chapter 1240: Fundamental Principle of Life

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Li once explored many historical sites for treasures, such as the Tomb of Dragon King or the Forbidden Ground of Elder God in the Heaven Reverse Universe and the nine universes.

Back then, he almost lost his life in the Tomb of Dragon King. In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, two sites housed treasures but they also presented risks.

Compared to the Tomb of King Luna, Lu Li believed that the Tomb of Dragon King and the Forbidden Ground of Elder God were child’s play. This was just the second level and it was already so dangerous. How were they expected to proceed?

The Path of Life and Death. One mistake could be fatal!

There was nothing to be reasoned with here. No tactics could be explored. Strength and power did not matter. Everything was purely about luck.

Luck, how entirely imaginary it was.

Maybe, they could be lucky enough to choose one or two safely. But who could say for sure that they would be lucky forever? How many slabs were there in this endless corridor? How many slabs could be triggers? Nobody could tell. The only thing they could tell was that skeletons were lying in front of them and many remains had been blasted to ashes...

“Young Master Shi’er, can’t we just fly over or just cross dozens of slabs in one step?”

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu asked a critical question. If they could fly over or climb over by leaning against the walls or even cross several slabs in one step, they would be much safer.

“Ha, ha!”

With curly black hair and a faint grin always lingering on his face, Lou Shi’er appeared to be cynical. He titled his head and asked, “If flying was the solution, would so many people die here? If there were a solution, why would I say you should only rely on your luck?”

Lin Yu said nothing. None of the dozens said anything. They didn’t move, either. They just stared at the corridor in tension and were going over many options in their heads.

“Hoy~”

Someone took out a spherical object and hurled it forward. The iron ball rolled forward along the path in a straight line.

Many people felt their eyes were glowing. Right, they could use artifacts to try and see where the triggers were.

“Eh...”

The glow in their eyes died down. The iron ball had rolled for two miles but nothing happened. The corridor gave zero reaction.

There must be over one thousand slabs. The iron ball moved along in a straight line. It was impossible that none of the one thousand slabs was triggered. This was proof that to use the iron ball to test was useless.

“Do not waste time on this!”

Ling Feidu said, “Nothing is going to help you to try it out. You cannot even use some live beasts. The Inhibition Formations here only detect people. Nothing else will trigger the Inhibition Formation.”

That disciple from the Cabinet of Cloud next to Lu Li said impatiently, “Just move along. Help us get over this level and you can follow behind us for the remaining levels. We will fend off all the strikes. You have our words.”

“...”

Lin Yu and the others said nothing but they all sneered. Exploring the way for them for this level, then the majority of the sixty-some people would probably lose their lives along the way. Following them? What, as ghosts?

The Holy Princess, who had never said a thing, suddenly opened her mouth. Though her voice was cold, it was pleasant nonetheless, like a bird singing, “Go ahead. I have studied the Fundamental Principle of Life. I can save you as long as you avoid being killed in an instant.”

“What~”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Holy Princess was the most powerful in the young generation of the Palace of Snow Mountain. She would not engage in wild talk. Therefore, she did learn the Fundamental Principle of Life and could rescue anyone that was not blasted to death at once. In this way, the chances of survival would be greater.

Lou Shi’er added, “Guys, I know that it is not honorable to ask you to explore the way for us and I don’t want to say empty words. But as long as you can make this, when we are out, you can come to Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and look for me. I will help you pass the first interview to become a disciple of Pavilion of Misty Drizzle!”

“But...”

Lou Shi’er’s words were inspiring. It was rare that the 72 major sects would recruit disciples. By entering one of the 72 major sects, one could enjoy the shortcut to a promising future.

Passing the first interview did not guarantee enrollment but it would be much easier.

“Okay!”

Lin Yu shouted, gritting his teeth, “Thank you, Young Master Shi’er. Joining the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle is my lifelong wish. Your words are enough for me to risk my life!”

“Then get to it.”

Ling Feidu waved his hand. “There can be valuable treasures after this level is passed. Anyone that can pass this level and obtain the treasure can have it. We will not take it away.”

“Let’s go!”

Others made up their minds. They had agreed that they would help the three major sects open up a safe path. If they did not advance, they could be blasted to death by disciples of the three major sects in a fit of rage and be forced to explore the way.

Besides...

They could not have stayed here still. Everyone must go past this level. It would be worthwhile if they could acquire valuable treasures. What were they here for but the treasures? Otherwise, why would they come in a while, fully aware of the dangers in the Tomb of King Luna?

“Let’s divide into smaller groups and take turns!”

Lin Yu was the first to move. He stepped on a slab directly. Four followed him. The slab was only big enough for five people to stand on it.

The others made up their minds and stepped to the slabs. They were in groups and each group walked onto a slab. Thus, they had begun a journey of blazing a path with life.

Lu Li took action as well. He followed four others. He had to because too many people were watching. If he did not walk, those from Cabinet of Cloud would murder him on the spot.

“Remember which is the safe course!”

Ling Feidu said to those behind him. Every time the Tomb of King Luna was opened, the safe course would change. That being said, Ling Feidu and the others could follow the proved safe way and cross the Path of Life and Death.

“Whoosh~”

Holy Princess kicked on the ground and leaped forth behind Lu Li and the others. She held a green twig in her hand and that twig was giving off a faint green halo. She was ready to come to the rescue when needs to be.

Ling Feidu, Lou Shi’er, and others did not move. They just memorized the course. Now, there were over a dozen groups exploring the way. As long as one path was absolutely safe, Ling Feidu and the others could catch up.

“Boom!”

It was Lin Yu’s group. One of them just stepped to a slab when it suddenly lit up. Next, some blue flames flared up. That person was enveloped by the flames. He was burning up.

“Buzzing~”

Holy Princess hurled her twig over and it entangled that person. The green halo covered him up. Holy Princess said, “Hold on and don’t move. If you fell to the ground, you would die!”

“Ah—”

That person was just enveloped by flames when Holy Princess’s twig reached him. He was alerted at once. If it were not for Holy Princess, he would have tumbled over on the ground. That would trigger more inhibition Formations and he would be killed in an instant.

He was lucky. It was only one mass of flames coming out from the ground. Though he was burning up, as soon as the twig reached him, the fire was extinguished. His burnt flesh and muscles were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Phew, phew~”

Lin Yu and Lu Li were both relieved. The crowd began to have a kinder feeling for Holy Princess. If it were not for her, that man would have died.

This was proof that Holy Princess kept her promise. Her rescue came in a timely manner. The chances of them keeping their lives would be greater now.
