Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 168: Secret Realm Part 10 Let's Skip This Cliche

"Okay, let me get this straight. You guys went to another corner of this space in search of the black hole. But, instead of the black hole that we imagined you found an eye that was releasing the spiritual qi in this space. There, you encountered a giant tortoise that was twice as big as that ape, just big, not tall!"

"And, then you encountered a Great Emperor who seems to the bigger than that tortoise. He said he will give you the inheritance if you kill that tortoise. So, did I leave anything?" Qin stood in front of Lan Ming and asked.

Lan Ming shook his head and said "Nope, you literally said every single word I just said."

"And, you two expect us to go back and face that monster even though we know there is a Great Emperor staying there," Qin asked with wide eyes and a speechless tone.

Lan Ming shrugged his shoulders and said "Yeah!"

"Good! I agree to go with you." Qin nodded his head and accepted it.

"Wait guys, are we seriously doing this? That Great Emperor must be sealed there. If we go there, that monster could kill us with ease." Suddenly, Tan Gengxin stood in front of them and spoke with terror in her eyes.

She didn't expect a monster of Great Emperor Realm to be inside the Secret Realm.

"But, he said this is for the inheritance, right? And, why would a Great Emperor lie to us?" Zhao Tan walked in front of her and asked with confusion on his face.

"Duh! This is the sacred group of the Tan Family. Every monster that lives here was once a slave to our ancestors. They were captured for food and training. Do you think they wouldn't hold any grudge against us?"

"And, why would a monster give an inheritance of Great Emperor to a human when there are literally more than thousands of monsters in this space. Don't you find this strange?" Tan Gengxin shouted and tried to convince them.

Lan Ming puts his hand on his chin and asked "If he really wants to kill us, why not make both back them? I mean he is a Great Emperor. He would've seen our fighting strength with a single glance. Why make it harder for himself?"

"I don't know. How would I know what's going on the mind of the Great Emperor? I just trying to make everyone realize that this might be a trap." Tan Gengxin shrugged her shoulders and spoke.

"Maybe, it is a trap and maybe it is sealed." Suddenly, a voice rang from behind which startled them. The person was other than Yue Bin. When everyone stared at her with confusion, she widened her eyes and said.

"Just think about it! He doesn't know us. He doesn't know whether we will go there to take revenge for you guys. But, he must have sensed our existence. Except for the fact that he might be sealed. If he is sealed, he can't move. And, that means everyone should be at the same place for him to kill them."

"As Gengxin said, he is a monster that has been trapped here. And, if you remember correctly, monsters live thousands of years more than a human. If that monster was a Great Emperor when it was sealed, then it all makes sense."

"He could have sensed the bloodline of Tan family from Qin. And, if I am not wrong, the Tan family bloodline should be the only way to unlock that seal. But, he wasn't sure if Qin will go there to save you guys. So, he took the advantage of inheritance."

"If it is about the inheritance, there would be ninety percent chance that Qin will go there which means he can continue with his plan. Guys, this might be his plan all along. Or, everything I just said could be just a bunch of crap."

Hearing her words made a lot of sense for them.

"So, what should we do?" Lan Ming asked after he acknowledged her point.

"Let's ignore that for now and focus on our initial plan. We will gather resources, find the tests and get the inheritance. From our inheritance, we will try to learn more about that monster and if it is what it said, then we will revisit it."

"But if it is not or if we don't learn about it, let's just ignore it." Qin spoke and turned at Guan Xing "We can stop all of this once we get stronger, right?"

Guan Xing sighed and nodded his head "I guess, you are right. Let's just do this. Worrying about things that aren't in our control is just a waste of time."

"Alright then, let's wait till they wake up."

After half an hour, Tan Shui and Tian Su woke up and they finally left.

Qin went along with Tan's sisters. They started gathering resources. Because of Qin, they didn't face any difficult situations. But soon, they came across the massive hill and a cave at the bottom.

"So, do you think there would be any inheritance here?" Xinyi turned her head at Qin and asked.

"Maybe but let's not take any risks. There are no monsters outside, so you three should wait for me here." Qin spoke as he looked inside the cave. It was dark and he couldn't see the end.

"No! I will go with you." Tan Jian clutched his arm and pouted. Her cute expression almost made him burst into laughter. But, he controlled it.

"Yeah, just because we are weaker than you doesn't mean we can't fight. And, shouldn't we try to stay together as much as can." Tan Gengxin nodded her head and spoke. But, she didn't get clingy like Tan Jian.

"Alright then!" Qin helplessly smiled and nodded his head. After that, four of them walked inside the cave. At first, it was dark especially when they moved deeper where the outside light couldn't enter. But when they went deeper, the cave started brightening with light.

Qin and Tan's sisters saw the dozens of small blue shells lighting the entire cave.

"It seems they are awake because of our presence." Tan Gengxin leaned closer to Qin and whispered.

"Yeah, maybe they are awakened by the sound of our footstep. Whatever, let's just keep on moving forward." Qin nodded his head and continued on his path. This path was quite silent. They could easily hear their own footsteps.

But, each time, they take the step forward, it only becomes louder. They continued to walk until they reached in front of a coffin.

In the middle of a room, there was a coffin lying. Seeing the coffin, Qin and Tan's sisters froze. They didn't know what to say here.

"Do you think this is an inheritance of a strong person?" Tan Jian's voice echoed as she spoke.

"Maybe!" Qin said that because he had encountered such inheritance before but that man didn't have such a luxury.

"So, what should we do?" Tan Xinyi asked as she turned her head at Qin.

Qin puffed out his cheeks and tilts his head "Let's check this coffin."

Tan Sisters looked at him weirdly and he shrugged his shoulders.

"What's with that look? We are only going to take a look."

Saying so, Qin walked in front of the coffin. He slightly leaned forward but as soon as he saw the figure inside the coffin, Qiao Fu voice's rang in his mind.

"Qin, leave! Don't stay another second. Let's leave right now."

Although he didn't understand the reason, Qin hurriedly rushed in front of the Tan sisters and ran out of the cave. They were also surprised because they didn't know why they were running away.

'Qiao Fu, can you tell me why are we running away?' As he saw the light from outside, Qin calmed down and asked but he was still running.

"That's a female and a female in a coffin. Didn't you read those novels when you saw my past?" Qiao Fu asked with a strange voice.

'Of course not! I literally watched your biography in three hours. How do you expect me to read everything.' Qin rolled his eyes and shouted.

Qiao Fu calmed down and spoke "Alright, listen to me! You should know this since this world is quite similar to those cultivation novels I've read. In those novels, there will be a scene where the protagonist will encounter a female in a coffin."

"In most of the cases, that female will be later added to his harem. But, she will also attract a huge problem for the protagonist. In fact, protagonists aren't the calamity magnet. The event that happens to them creates those calamities."

"If you open that coffin, either you will receive an important task or she might get resurrected. One of these two scenes is meant to happen. So, let's just ignore it and do what we are here for. Your goal is to get the Devil Physique and that test is in the highest mountain. This is obviously hill."

"So, fuck off that lady in a coffin clich and move on to the real test."
