Bai Xinghe nodded and said quickly, "You're right. In order to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage, Yan Xinjian went on a rampage on Spider Den. He slaughtered all the space pirates on the pretext that they had violated the Ten Sword Rules and looted a lot of resources. Therefore, he made a lot of enemies. Many people seemed to be obedient to him on the surface, but they were actually scared of the enormous army under his command.
"Breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Divinity Transformation Stage is not something that can be done overnight. Only one in ten thousand can succeed in breaking through in three to five years. During the process of breaking through, the cultivator must be completely focused.
"If he did not show up on the surface of the planet for a couple of years, his power would certainly be gone, and the iron reign that he built would fall apart. Also, when other space pirates learned that he was training himself below the ground, they would certainly try their best to sabotage his plan to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage!
"During the breakthrough into the Divinity Transformation Stage, a Yuanying Cultivator is like a caterpillar that spins a cocoon and metamorphoses into a butterfly. It is the most vulnerable moment for them. They have to go through a lot of obstacles and may be heavily wounded or even mentally deranged at any moment.
"If a large batch of enemies suddenly barged into the secret training room when Yan Xinjian was mentally deranged, it was not hard to imagine what would happen!
"Therefore, in order to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage, Yan Xinjian was fully prepared. Not only did he establish a secret training room ten thousand meters below the ground, he also set up a lot of fatal traps based on the underground fortress that he already had!
"When Yan Xinjian ruled over Spider Den, he established the 'Ten Sword Rules'. He was quite 'merciful' to the 'prey' in space, but he was ruthless to the space pirates on his side. He butchered them easily.
"At that time, many space pirates complained that he was being too soft-hearted. Even hundreds of years later, many people in the world of Cultivators thought highly of him and thought that he still had his boundaries.
"But they didn't know that. Yan Xinjian was so harsh on the space pirates and carried out purges every now and then partly because he wanted to accumulate wealth and resources quickly and lay the foundation for his breakthrough into the Divinity Transformation Stage. More importantly, under the pretext of the 'great purge', he killed all the insiders!
"After everyone who knew the existence of the secret training room and the underground traps was executed, Yan Xinjian 'died abruptly' mysteriously!
"In fact, he went underground to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm!"
Li Yao listened attentively. He couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, this matter should be top secret. How did you know?"
Bai Xinghe smiled and said, "I found some of Yan Xinjian's notes from the super crystal processors in the Star Prier's House. He set the notes to be automatically unlocked and readable three hundred years after he entered the secret training room.
"If someone enters the Star Prier's House and activates the super crystal processors in less than three hundred years, the Star Prier's House will definitely be affected. In that case, not only will we not be able to decipher the notes, we will also trigger all the traps and destroy the underground fortress! "
Li Yao thought quickly and soon figured it out.
Whether or not Yuanying was successful in breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm would be revealed within a few decades. It would take no more than a hundred years.
If Yan Xinjian had successfully advanced into the Divinity Transformation Stage, he would have broken out of seclusion thirty to fifty years later. Naturally, he would be able to modify or delete his notes and claim the title of 'best expert of the Flying Star Sector'. He would be able to reign over Spider Den again!
If he did not activate the super crystal processors after three hundred years, there could only be one possibility. He was already dead.
Yuanying's attempt to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage was a risky endeavor in the first place. Even if he was not killed by the apocalypse, the odds of success were no higher than one percent. Yan Xinjian left some of his knowledge for his descendants by doing that. Many high-level Cultivators who had no family or friends would do the same when they were trying to break into a higher level.
"The notes that I got," Bai Xinghe said. "The notes record the existence of the secret training room and the underground traps in detail, as well as part of Yan Xinjian's secret arts and techniques. However, according to the notes, most of Yan Xinjian's magical equipment and techniques were kept in the secret training room. He hoped that whoever was lucky enough to find the notes would open the secret training room and become his real heir!"
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone. "Therefore, you are indeed Yan Xinjian's reincarnated heir!"
Bai Xinghe sneered and shook his head. "No. I did not open Yan Xinjian's secret training room."
Li Yao was dazed.
The secret training room of a Cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage was essentially his' residence '. The benefits inside must be immeasurable. But Bai Xinghe, a space pirate who had killed and robbed him, was not going to open it?
"Why?"
"Because I don't trust Yan Xinjian," Bai Xinghe said coldly.
"When I was young, I considered the 'supreme space pirate' to be my idol, too. I went through all the trouble to collect a lot of files about him.
"I compared the files with the notes that he left. The more I studied, the more scared I became.
"On the surface, all the files said that Yan Xinjian escaped from Heavenly Saints City and ended up on Spider Den because his wife cheated on him. Therefore, he drew his sword in fury and slaughtered countless people.
"However, after my in-depth research, I discovered some clues from the clues. In the end, I came to a completely different conclusion."
"Yan Xinjian's wife might have cheated on him, but it was not important. What mattered was that Yan Xinjian probably had a map of the underground fortress of Spider Den, or at least a fragment of the map, a long time ago!
"Otherwise, how could an outsider like Yan Xinjian have found the entrance to the core area of the underground fortress in only a year and a half when the space pirates on Spider Den failed to find it after hundreds of years?
"Therefore, it is very likely that his wife cheating on him was just an excuse. He escaped to Spider Den in such a way that the space pirates would not be suspicious of him!"
"Furthermore, the battle to defend Spider Den might have been manipulated by him!
"Think about it. Yan Xinjian escaped to Spider Den on his own. However strong he was, how could so many ferocious, disobedient space pirates obey him?
"Only when the coalition fleet of the Cultivators arrived would he, as the one who was most familiar with the fleets of the Cultivators, be of the greatest value and be granted the temporary command of the many pirate gangs on Spider Den!
"Yan Xinjian gradually rose in the long war. All the space pirates who opposed and doubted him were killed in the bloody battle!
"In the battle to protect Spider Den that lasted for years, the Cultivators suffered heavy losses, but the space pirates suffered heavy losses, too. Many pirate gangs were completely crippled. Countless experts among the space pirates perished. The only one who benefited from the battle was Yan Xinjian himself!
"He became the supreme ruler of Spider Den from an exile who had fled in panic!"
"The world of Cultivators and Spider Den have been manipulated by him alone. He is truly a master of many things!"
"Would such a terrifying person really pass on his legacy to the latecomers?
"Of course, for most people, Yan Xinjian is already dead. When a man is about to die, his words are always kind. It is not strange that he would leave some benefits for the latecomers and pass on his last will.
"But is Yan Xinjian an ordinary person?
"I dare not take the risk. I have never been scared even when I was surrounded by Cultivators ten times more than me. But after I learned what Yan Xinjian had done, I couldn't help but shudder in fear.
"My intuition told me that I should stay as far away from Yan Xinjian as possible!
"Therefore, although I discovered Yan Xinjian's secret training room and knew that his legacy treasures were likely to be in there, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind that I would never open it for the rest of my life!
Li Yao was soaked in cold sweat.
None of the people who had left their names in history for five hundred years were easy to deal with.
If Yan Xinjian was really manipulating everything behind the curtain, the 'Supreme Space Pirate' was too terrifying in terms of his temperament and schemes.
Li Yao couldn't help but recall Skeleton Dragon's residence on Boneyard.
At that time, Skeleton Dragon was tempting people with all kinds of secret treasures, too, but his real purpose was to break the barriers and reappear in the human world!
Although Yan Xinjian was supposed to be dead, who could say for sure that such an old monster at the peak of Yuanying was dead?
Chances were that the notes left inside the super crystal processors were really bait to trick the latecomers into opening the secret training room!
However, Yan Xinjian could never have foreseen that after waiting for hundreds of years, Bai Xinghe, whose temperament was as terrifying as his, would hold back such a great temptation!
It was perhaps the secret battle between the 'Supreme Space Pirate' and the 'Pirate Potentate' after five hundred years!
"Therefore," Li Yao said, "you did not open Yan Xinjian's secret training room but only controlled the underground traps that he built? If that's the case, everything makes sense now. You did not set up any traps underground. The Immortal Cultivators would never have thought that they would be faced with the most dreadful methods of the supreme space pirate five hundred years ago! "
Bai Xinghe smiled bitterly. "Not the Immortal Cultivators, but us. The traps have been activated. Nobody is going to get away!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded. "When did you activate the traps?"
"There was no need to activate them," Bai Xinghe said. "The trigger system of the traps is very complicated. It calculates the total weight of everybody entering the underground fortress, the heat and spiritual waves they emit, the exhaust gas they breathe … After a series of precise calculations, as long as the trigger system determines that a large number of intruders have entered the central area, especially the main warehouse at the bottom level, it will be triggered immediately!
"Therefore, the traps have been activated. Nobody can stop them!"
Li Yao blinked quickly. "Why didn't I sense anything?"
Bai Xinghe sighed and said, "Do you remember the Nether River that we flew over seven days ago? The Star Prier's Pavilion uses the water of the Nether River as its source of energy. Yan Xinjian's traps are based on the Nether River, too.
