When Ye Tianze entered again, he still used the Death Light Worms to probe. Only when he found no movement did he approach the door.
But when he looked inside, he saw a tall, handsome man sitting cross-legged in the main hall. His eyes were closed, as if he was resting.
Beside him was a saber that pierced through the stone floor and into the ground. Only a small part of the saber was visible, but that part made one feel heavy.
Before that person were three corpses. On each of those corpses was a fatal wound from a blade.
Compared to the traces Ye Tianze had followed along the way, these were much more shocking. If they were still alive, Ye Tianze might not be able to know their cultivation level.
However, they were already dead, just like the young man who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall. They were all dead.
The young man was at the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm, but the three corpses were all almighty figures who surpassed the Profound Heaven Realm.
But they were dead. Ye Tianze felt the power they had when they were alive through the power of the Death Realm. They were filled with unwillingness and fear.
Ye Tianze did not enter rashly. He looked around and waited for a long time.
After about an hour, a voice suddenly said, "Strange cultivator, you are very cautious."
If Ye Tianze was not the incarnation of death, he would definitely be shocked and think that he had seen a ghost.
The one who spoke was not the young man sitting cross-legged, and the corpses on the ground did not move.
"Since you have passed the first test, I can give you a choice. Take this saber back to the Shanhai Clan and choose a successor for me. Then, everything on these three people will be yours."
Ye Tianze saw that the three cultivators all had cave abodes. Although they were well hidden, they could not hide from Ye Tianze since they were already dead.
As soon as the voice fell, saber qi filled the main hall. It came from the saber.
"Everything I have is in this main hall. I can give it to you!" "Unfamiliar cultivator, make your choice. If you agree, then swear an oath to the Law of Primal Chaos. Otherwise, you will obtain nothing. Moreover, the cave will self-destruct and bury you here forever."
Ye Tianze fell silent, as he knew that this was definitely a backup plan left behind by the young man before his death, in order to protect the succession of the saber.
"You're already dead, yet you still have so many requests. Do you really think that this Young Master is a vegetarian?" Ye Tianze laughed and said, "I won't choose any of them."
"Since you don't want to choose, then be destroyed." The voice continued.
"If you really wanted to be destroyed, you would have been destroyed long ago. First of all, what you care about the most is the saber. If the saber doesn't return to your clan, your clan members will be severely injured. If I'm not wrong, the saber should be a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, and not an ordinary one."
Ye Tianze said, "Wouldn't it be a pity to bury them just like that?"
"What do you want to say?" the voice continued.
"I've never been threatened!" Ye Tianze said, "I only do what I want to do."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
After some time, Ye Tianze released the Death Ray Worms again. The worms were instantly shredded to pieces by the saber Qi.
"There's no need to try. You won't be able to break my saber formation!" The voice said, "Don't expect to drag it out. Before I die, I'll use the formation of the cave as a link to activate the saber formation. As long as the saber isn't pulled out, the saber formation will be destroyed when the energy of the cave is depleted. When that happens …"
"Then why don't you let me try pulling it out!" Ye Tianze said, "What if I can pull it out?"
"Impossible. Even if I let you try, you won't be able to pull it out. It's the heirloom of my clan. You won't be able to pull it out without my bloodline!"
The voice continued.
"How do you know I won't be able to pull it out if I haven't tried? How about this, let me try first. If I can't pull it out, I'll agree to your conditions and swear an oath to send the saber to your clan and choose a successor for you. How does that sound?"
Ye Tianze said.
"Sure." There was a hint of sarcasm in the voice.
The saber formation suddenly opened. Ye Tianze slowly walked over. He knew that the voice didn't have intelligence. It was just something like a mechanism.
When Ye Tianze wasn't killed by the first saber qi, it would trigger more options left by the young man before he died.
Pulling out the saber was one of them, so he wasn't worried about being tricked.
As expected, when he walked through the saber formation, the saber qi didn't fall. The saber was stuck in the ground. Ye Tianze didn't pull it out immediately. Instead, he carefully sized up the young man.
He realized that the young man was indeed somewhat similar to Shan Hai Yu.
When he looked at the saber again, Ye Tianze touched his chin and fell silent for a while. Then, one of his hands landed on the saber.
With a "bang", thick saber qi gushed out from the ground. It was like an underground river erupting. It turned into an azure dragon and soared into the sky.
The entire hall was instantly disintegrated by this terrifying saber qi. In the end, it was reduced to dust. The saber formation was shattered in an instant.
Ye Tianze held the saber in surprise. He really just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect to pull it out so easily.
This made him wonder if he also had the bloodline of the Shan Hai Clan.
Of course not. This terrifying saber qi didn't hurt his body, but the saber wasn't connected to his mind.
When the saber was pulled out, the saber qi quickly dissipated. Then, it retracted. The saber was simple and unadorned. It didn't have the slightest bit of sharpness.
However, this saber was really heavy. When the saber qi dissipated, he couldn't hold it with one hand. Then, he tried with two hands, but he still couldn't hold it.
Clang!
The saber fell to the ground. Ye Tianze was sweating. He didn't understand why he couldn't connect to the saber when he pulled it out.
"It's an innate spiritual treasure, and a superior one at that. It might even be able to unleash greater power!" said the Sacred Spirit leader. "However, this saber obviously only recognizes the bloodline of the Shan Hai Clan."
"Why can I pull it out?" asked Ye Tianze.
"There might be another mechanism that requires other conditions to trigger. But even if you pull it out, it will be difficult for you to use it."
Said the Sacred Spirit leader.
"Sigh, I worked so hard for nothing." Ye Tianze sighed.
The voice didn't speak again. Just as Ye Tianze expected, this Shan Hai Clan expert had only set up a few possibilities.
However, the only possibility was that Ye Tianze had pulled out his saber. When the saber aura surged out, his restrictions would have been completely broken.
The corpse sitting cross-legged on the side turned into dust, as if to prove the end of an era.
Ye Tianze directly put the saber into the treasure bowl. He didn't know if his internal universe could withstand a treasure of this level.
On the other hand, the treasure bowl was the easiest to store, and the treasure bowl didn't seem to have such restrictions.
After putting away the saber, Ye Tianze looked at the three corpses on the ground and immediately took down their cave abodes. These were three mighty figures, so there must be a lot of things in their cave abodes.
This young man could kill three mighty figures, so his means were naturally impressive. After all, he was only at the peak of Profound Heaven Level Nine and hadn't entered the realm beyond the Profound Heaven Level.
After he put away the cave abodes, with his sensitivity as the incarnation of death, he became interested in the three corpses.
"If they can be resurrected and become dead, I will have three mighty figures by my side!" Ye Tianze thought of Lady Yu.
When she left with the innate spiritual treasure, the Nether Spirit Claw, Ye Tianze felt a little pity. Of course, he didn't pity Lady Yu, but the Nether Spirit Claw.
But under the circumstances at that time, if he was greedy, he wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
After a moment of silence, he immediately put the three corpses into the Death Realm.
To his surprise, after the three corpses entered the Death Realm, they didn't resurrect like Lady Yu.
Even when Ye Tianze used the Name of Death, there was still no movement. However, the three corpses were absorbing the death aura in the Death Realm.
Moreover, the dead in the Death Realm were incomparably respectful to the three corpses. Obviously, they could feel how powerful they were when they were alive.
Ye Tianze suddenly had a strange idea. He threw the three corpses into the lake filled with death aura. The corpses sank to the bottom of the lake.
He sized them up and thought that he was hoping that the lake water could change them a little. However, he found that after the corpses sank to the bottom of the lake, they didn't move anymore.
