The day before the Nameless Emperor's Tomb's opening, Yuan received a message through one of his communication jade slips.

"Yuan, Lady Xu will return in 5 days to give you what she promised." Senior Bai's voice resounded inside his head.

'Oh… I was so occupied with the Nameless Emperor's Tomb that I nearly forgot about our agreement.' Yuan felt a drop of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He couldn't imagine what he'd do if he didn't show up for the soul technique and Xu Jiaqi decided to not give it to him anymore.

'However, the Nameless Emperor's Tomb will be opening tomorrow, and I promised Tian Yanyu that I'd enter with her…'

As much as he wanted to enter the tomb with Tian Yanyu, he had to prioritize the soul technique, as it could potentially be the difference of whether he'll clear the Nameless Emperor's Tomb or not.

After preparing himself for Tian Yanyu's complaints, Yuan went to knock on her room.

Tian Yanyu opened the door a moment later.

"Hey."

"Hey…"

"Something wrong?" Tian Yanyu raised an eyebrow.

"You see, I just remembered that I had an appointment with someone, and this is an important meeting that I cannot miss, but it will happen five days after the Nameless Emperor's Tomb's opening, so I won't be able to enter with you on day one."

"What?! You're telling me this the day before it opens?!"

Tian Yanyu was clearly unhappy about the situation. However, even though her voice was loud, she didn't look angry.

"I'm truly sorry." Yuan lowered his head in an apologetic manner.

Tian Yanyu rubbed her eyes and sighed, "Don't worry about it. It's only five days, right? I can ask my mother to delay our entrance for you."

Yuan quickly lifted his head and said, "Please don't. Your mother won't like it and will probably refuse. Furthermore, you're not going with just your mother, right? We cannot delay the others just for me."

"Where will you guys be headed first? I will meet up with you in five days." Yuan suddenly suggested.

,m "We'll be spending our first month at the Nameless Stone Warrior. You know where it is, right?"

He nodded, "I memorized the map."

"Good."

The following day, Yuan and Tian Yanyu went to meet up with Tian Suyin, who brought them to the gathering area, where tens of thousands of disciples were waiting in anticipation with more to show up.

"Senior, due to another appointment I had arranged before coming here, I will be entering the Nameless Emperor's Tomb a few days after it opens." Yuan said to her, who merely shrugged.

"Why are you telling me? I don't really care if you come with us or not." Tian Suyin said.

However, while she claimed to not care, she wasn't telling the truth entirely. Since she knew how powerful Yuan was, she would feel less nervous inside the tomb, but that's no longer the case.

Tian Yanyu then spoke, "By the way, you can enter and leave the Nameless Emperor's Tomb as many times as you please, so you don't need to worry about that."

Sometime later, Sect Leader Yu Jian showed up at the gathering place and swept the crowd with a sharp and profound gaze.

'About 90,000 disciples…'

90,000 disciples was about a third of the Jade Sword Manor's entire disciple population, but compared to the other sects that will be bringing half of their sect, it wasn't anything impressive.

Once Yu Jian gave the disciples a short speech, he retrieved a spiritual treasure and mass teleported everyone there to another gathering area, one that was much closer to the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.

"The Nameless Emperor's Tomb is 100 km to the north. All of the major sects will have a spot reserved for them. Look for the flag with our sect's emblem."

After saying these words, Yu Jian went ahead and flew away.

The disciples there quickly followed suit.

Sometime later, Yuan and the disciples arrived at a vast and spacious land that had nothing in sight besides the very obvious and large temple that was situated right in the center of this area.

This temple was massive— larger than any building Yuan has seen before, and this included the buildings in the Giant's Continent.

The temple itself seemed to be made of white marble, and it appeared to be in pristine condition at glance, almost as though it was just created yesterday even though it stood for millions of years already.

When Yuan saw this temple, he could feel his heartbeats quickening, and he suddenly had this near uncontrollable urge to approach the place, like it was calling for him.

Surrounding the temple was a sea of people— tens of millions of people.

This reminded Yuan of the Mystic Realm, but the scale of this event was multitudes larger.

Still wearing the Jade Sword Manor's guest uniform, Yuan followed Tian Yanyu and the other disciples to their sect's assigned location in front of the temple, where Sect Leader Yu Jian was waiting.

"This isn't even half of the people participating." Tian Yanyu suddenly said to him.

"Since there are too many people that want to enter the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, all of the sects are given a set date to enter. The top sects will get to enter on day 1 while the weaker sects and rouge cultivators will enter a few days later. Although entering a few days late may not seem like much at first, these few days could be the difference between gaining enlightenment and gaining nothing. There have been plenty of cases where people were kicked out right before they could be enlightened."

"Is that so… When does the tomb open, anyway?" Yuan asked.

"It should open within the hour."

"I will stay here until you enter the tomb."

"Alright."

Thus, they began to wait for the Nameless Emperor's Tomb to open.

Meanwhile, more and more people showed up for the tomb's opening, including those that had no intention of participating.
