Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 518

Ryuu bit his lips as he stared at the large painting in front of him, inside that painting was a map, a map that showed them the way to the tomb, but now he was in corundum.

‘The entire expedition would need a round a week worth of time but if we get stuck we will have to wait at least five thousand years, now what should I do, should I participate or not, such a troublesome situation.’

‘On one hand I will miss an opportunity to rob them of their glory but such opportunity might come again, not to mention if I had not received a boost on my level I would have been nowhere near this level and my chance of getting justice would be delayed, and the survival of the Vance clan does not matter to me but this tomb I want to enter so badly, I never had to think about resources because of my teachers but how long will I depend upon them.’

‘Now what to do, hmm, I think I should stop thinking so morbidly and thinking about the worst case scenario, if I focus only on the worse then the worse outcome will happen.’

“Fine I will join.”.

Rasime flashed him a smile as she spoke, “So brother Ryuu I hope you would not mind sharing us what was keeping you so occupied that you were hesitant to join us.”

“Well not much a clan managed to garner my ire, and I was waiting for the right opportune to humiliate them and destroy them.”

Cezary frowned as he spoke, “I see so are they strong?”

“Well their patriarch is a second level Celestial so kind of, I hope he would not turn into a disappointment.”

Ismene sipped from her cup as she spoke, “Well even if you miss the chance at least Ayindril can deal with them.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “Ayindril has nothing to do with them, they are my enemy and I will be the one to put them down, but enough of that I think it is time for us to leave.”

Amarezen gave a small nod as she spoke, “So true Daoist brother, it is good if we arrive early and scout the place.”

The group quickly settled their bill and left, as the manager of the ‘Hungry Snake’, quickly made his way to their seats in order to check on arrays that had been placed there.

He quickly found all the talismans that he had hidden around where Ryuu and his group were sitting, a large smile broke out on his face as he murmured out low, “Those rich young masters are all the same, idiots now let me see what they were discussing.”

He replaced those talismans before carrying the one which recorded the conversation and when he activated one of them to listen in to their talks, something bizarre happened all of the talismans activated and a sound bomb was released it was so loud that it ripped through the array that made his office soundproof, plunging the tavern into a chaotic mess.

A few minutes later when his workers reached the now destroyed office of the manager they found a completely destroyed office with the manager lying on the floor his eyes white and foaming from his mouth and his ears bleeding.

Meanwhile back with Cezary and his group had made their way towards their destination after many hours of travelling, a planet which was called by thousand moons planet and upon reaching their destination Ryuu understood the reason for.

‘It kind of looks like Saturn from my previous life with those large rings of it, to me it always was like the Queen of the solar system with the glistening jewelry surrounding it making it seem both like Royal and Mysterious.’

Ryuu’s lips quirked up as he murmured low, “Though this one looks more like a savage Empress with its trio of rings and its plethora of moons.”

“Did you say something Ryuu?”

Ryuu shook his head as he replied back to Hu, “I am just marveling at the beauty of the planet, it looks so gorgeous.”

Hu Ruogang gave a nod as she spoke, “It truly is, and the eclipse is about to happen, all of its ninety moons coming together in a single line, truly a remarkable sight.”

Ryuu watched as the moons slowly started to move in a line as Venkat spoke, “Let us start moving towards the planet surface, but please remember this gas giant is poisonous.”

The group swiftly moved near the surface as Ryuu willed a talisman towards the much denser gas pockets as he watched with fascination the talisman turn to ash.

‘Ho, it is poisonous but I do not think it would be able to do anything against me.’

Haakon meanwhile looked at the moons like a hawk and as the eclipse began the gas seemed to part as he shouted out, “Move, the door has opened.”

The group of cultivators did not take too much time as they moved to throw the tunnel Cezary suddenly pushed Leszek away as a large tentacle that had appeared from inside the gas missed him narrowly.

Ismene’s eyes widen as she shouted out, “Move faster there is a weird creature out here that will drag you into the poisonous cloud.”

Rasmine gritted her teeth as she dodged the creature’s attempt to grab her as she shouted back, “Easier said than done.”

The group led by Amarezen dashed through the tunnel when a doorway was in their sight, and as the group reached the door Haakon and Ryuu began to tear down the array preventing them from entering while the rest had taken up defensive positions, with shields created by array raised high up, which was being bombarded by various attacks of the creature.

“I have breached the array and opened the door, let us move in.”

Ryuu did not need to be told twice as the group dashed inside and the door shut itself as both Haakon and Ryuu shared a glance as Ryuu could not help but ask out loud, “Are you sure this tomb is that of a Upper Celestial Level cultivator?”

Haakon frowned as he spoke, “We bȧrėly managed to remove the array to enter this place, not to mention the arrays are too advanced for a mere Celestial.”

Amarezen frowned as she spoke, “But all the clues from the map indicate it as a tomb of a Celestial.”

Cezary shrugged as he spoke, “Well we will learn more as we venture forth.”

“Before we move there is something that I wish to say to you, Ryuu.”

As Ryuu looked at Ismene, she continued with a serious look on her face, “Amongst us you are the weakest, just a first ranked Celestial, and the next weakest to you is Rasmine who is a fifth ranked Celestial, I hope you understand that whatever happens for your safety please let us deal with the danger.”

Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, “Fine by me, I know my strength and I would not mind following my senior Daoist Sisters and Brothers guidance, and upon saying that I hope you would not dismiss my words when I voice my concerns.”

Hu Ruogang smiled at him as she replied back, “Fret not Ryuu, if you have any concerns feel free to voice them out, we are in an unknown territory so if you perceive something amiss please inform us immediately.”

Rudie who was silent for the entire time spoke, “This tomb might be extremely dangerous if we do not get out before our time runs out.”

Leszek looked at him with a questioning look on his face as he spoke, “Why do you think so Rudie?”

Rudie simply pointed towards a corner and they all could see a familiar wisp of gas a Ryuu spoke with a curious look on his face, “Interesting so this place will be flooded by the gas so that also means that there is a chance that the creature might have access to the tomb.”

Haakon sighed as he spoke, “There is nothing we can gain by dawdling around this place we have to move forward.”

Ryuu let his KI flow from his hands as he sent it towards one of the pockets of gas and the result made his eyes widen.

“Everyone this strange poison is Kitoxin, so be careful as it would get agitated in presence of KI.”

Rudie growled as he spoke, “That was the only thing that was missing.”

Ismene rolled her eyes as she spoke, “Calm down Rudie, look at the message on the stone tablet.”

Looking at it Ryuu suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu as he spoke with disbelief, “Oh no.”

“Is something wrong Daoist brother Ryuu?”

Ryuu glanced towards Venkat as he spoke with a sigh, “Nothing I was just reminded about a similar situation back in Eden, we stumbled upon a tomb and it began with a similar message, it was a very dangerous place where my group and I almost lost our lives many times and only survived by luck.”

“So did you get anything precious from the tomb?”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, “Nothing after risking our lives all we received at the end was a message mocking us and telling us how the owner of the tomb had already spent every single of his treasures to build his tomb.”

Deafening silence descended amongst the group as Cezary cleared his throat drawing everyone’s attention, “I think we should pick up our pace we are wasting time.”
