Chapter 357: 172
Early the next morning, Logan, with the pass token given by Argub, had already left the vast Capital City heading for the much-discussed Ancient Road Environment, to begin his journey of trials and tribulations.
A total of a hundred miles, for a Mythical Grade powerhouse was merely a half-day duration, plus his unique cultivation techniques, it only took him three hours in the end.
Although it’s called an Illusionary Realm, the entrance was merely a barrier, and the runes on the barrier were old and abraded, even covered with cobwebs, making it hard to associate it with the Sanctuary Powerhouse.
However, Logan could sense a trace of a rebellious Rule in it. It was clear that although the Holy See had been gone for many years, the pressure it had once exerted was still present and was beyond what an average person could provoke without serious consequences.
Logan was just about to enter when he was stopped by a man who stood by his side. The man stretched out his palm to Logan saying, “It costs thirty Spirit Stones per person to go in. This the tomb of the Holy See – did you think it would be free?”
Logan was quite helpless as he didn’t have even a single snack with him, let alone spirit stones. He was a newcomer to this instance world and didn’t understand the rules here, and he didn’t want to start a conflict right now.
Seeing Logan without money, the man’s face changed, “A mere Mythical Realm fellow like you shouldn’t even think about going in. You’re looking for a chance but many high-ranking oversteps who enter won’t make it out.”
Logan was about to get angry but then thought that after all, this was just spare change to Argub. Will the pass token provided by Argub work? He decided to give it a try, considering trying anything when desperately needing help.
However, the moment the man saw the pass token, he was completely stunned, “This…this is actually the Lord’s Token? The Lord has only issued these to ten people and each of them is a great power.”
“I’m sorry, I was out of line. These are the rules set by the Lord. If I let you in without taking Spirit Stones, I won’t be able to bear the consequences if reprimanded. I hope you won’t take what just happened to heart.”
Logan waved his hand without bothering too much about it. He stepped in and entered the Ancient Road Illusion. As soon as he entered, he appeared in a Cave Mansion, and could feel a slight sense of oppression.
Everything seemed normal. Even if it’s said to be an Illusionary Realm, that’s just a nice way of saying it was someone else’s tomb. The opportunities contained in a Sanctuary Powerhouse’s tomb are considerable.
Every fallen Sanctuary Powerhouse hopes to find a successor to pass on their legacy. If the inheritance were broken and could not be passed on, it would be an undesired outcome for them.
This is natural for anyone, a powerhouse would not wish to accept disciples for fear that they might learn their techniques and surpass them. However, when the hero passes and reaches the end of their life, they start to regret not choosing a disciple when they were young and all their techniques would be buried with them.
After walking dozens of steps, Logan felt a flash before his eyes and seemed to be in a wonderful space, as if he had come to a paradise, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was ten times stronger than that outside.
Logan initially thought everything was an illusion, but upon touching it, he discovered that everything was real. It’s hard to imagine that a Sanctuary Powerhouse had used such great supernatural power to build such a place.
While Logan was marveling, he felt someone pat his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw three or four people looking at him. The one closest to him was looking at him with a smirk and playful eyes.
“I’ve been to the Ancient Road Illusion many times, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone from the Mythical Realm. One should at least reach the Lower Super Rank, don’t you care about your life for a chance?”
A man shook his head and sighed, “Look at me, I reached the Middle-level Transcendent three years ago, but I didn’t come here. Even now, when I’ve reached the High-ranking Overstep, I have the courage to come to the Ancient Road Illusion.”
“That’s because you’re too cowardly. Moreover, even if you are a high-ranking overstep, you may not survive in the Illusion.”
Logan was not pleased, having just met, why did they have to start off with cold words towards him? It was hard to understand, is it that such people born with a sense of superiority?
As soon as these words came out, those few people immediately got angry. They were all young talents from the same family clan working together, all hoping to gain an opportunity in the Ancient Road Illusion that could enable them to step into the throne realm.
If it were outside, they would definitely attack immediately when a small fellow from the Mythical Realm dared to provoke them, but this was in the Illusion. There was no need to provoke unnecessary trouble or waste energy.
Therefore, the man leading the group spoke, “Don’t be so angry, I just wanted to give you a chance. There’s a demon beast at the throne realm ahead, and we’re no match for it together.”
“If you can lure the demon beast away, there’s a piece of Herbal Medicine nearby that can enhance a person’s realm and even give one an understanding of the Rule of Heaven and Earth. I will gift you the Herbal Medicine, we just want the Inner Alchemy of the demon beast. Isn’t it great if we cooperate?
Hearing such an obvious scam, Logan was left speechless. It was clear they were sending him to his doom. If it were so easy, they, a group of oversteps wouldn’t dare to do it themselves, and they wanted him to approach, a mere mythical?
And even if he succeeded, they’d probably turn against him immediately and not give him the Herbal Medicine. Clearly, such heaven-defying Herbal Medicine could drive any overstep warrior insane.
Logan chuckled and said, “How about you lure the beast away, and I’ll help you pick the Herbal Medicine. I am a very generous person and I promise I won’t ask for a thing from you.”
“Kid, it seems you are looking for trouble by not accepting the good intentions. You must lure this Demon Beast away today or else you’ll end up buried in this Ancient Road Illusion.”
The leading person shouted in anger, and took out his Dharma device, his high-ranked overstep power exploding. He, a high-ranked powerhouse was negotiating with a Mythical Realm powerhouse, and the latter had the audacity to contradict him?
Logan was neither servile nor overbearing. He was never the kind to be bullied. He also took out his own weapon. Although he didn’t want conflict with others, it would affect his chances in the Ancient Road Illusion. If he didn’t resolve this trouble, he would only cause more unnecessary issues in the Illusion.
At this moment, another person suddenly walked into the Illusion, it was Cloud upon the Sea who had a conflict with Logan yesterday. He was followed by three elders, each of them at the Throne Realm.
Logan could feel that these three weren’t like the throne realm experts he had encountered yesterday, they were at least at the peak of the Throne Realm. Maybe in another three to five decades, they might not be far from reaching the Dominator Realm.
One against three at the Throne Realm, Logan indeed didn’t have a chance of winning, especially in this Ancient Road Illusion. He had to think of a way to stall Cloud upon the Sea to allow himself to quickly escape.
