All that could be seen was yellow sand, with the wind stirring up fine dust that drifted and swirled, creating a desolate scene.
Yin Ming was currently inside the ruins of the fallen gods. He crossed his arms and focused on his journey, but when he sensed the figure following him at a distance, he became increasingly angry.
Liar! He said he didn't know when they'd meet again, but he actually hid in the monster's spatial ring and even used his divine sense to interfere with the elder's detection, successfully sneaking in with Yin Ming.
He definitely didn't act on a whim; it was premeditated!
In other words, he already knew he could enter the Godfall Ruins with Yin Ming, but he still deliberately played the victim to get into Yin Ming's bed, and now he continues to follow Yin Ming as if nothing happened.
What a cunning fellow!
Yin Ming was a little sad for a while when he didn't see him off this morning.
What a wonderful spirit!
"I didn't mean to keep it from you. I just wanted to give you a surprise. I'm sorry..." Ling Yao, who was a few steps behind, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yin Ming's clothes.
He thought his presence here would make Yin Ming happy, but to his surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, a thin layer of anger appeared on the other's face.
He continued walking on without saying a word, giving him no response whatsoever, as if he were throwing a tantrum.
After thinking it over, perhaps he felt he had been deceived, which is why he was angry.
Even if that's not the reason, admitting fault is the right thing to do. Yin Ming is easily swayed and will forgive him soon.
Yin Ming awkwardly shook off his hand. Was that what he was angry about? He was clearly angry about—
Yin Ming secretly rubbed his still slightly sore arm. Last night, he couldn't bear to let Ling Yao take a cold shower to cool down, so he could only...
He wouldn't have made wasabi if he hadn't thought they wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time!
Looking back now, Yin Ming just wants to crawl into a hole in the ground!
Therefore, Yin Ming has no intention of paying any attention to Ling Yao now.
At this moment, the dust settled down a bit, and the visible range widened. Yin Ming raised his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
In the vast desert, dozens of stone tablets stood scattered about.
Some stone tablets have been eroded by wind and sand, and the inscriptions on them have long since disappeared, indicating that they are very old.
Some stone tablets were broken in half, lying haphazardly in the yellow sand.
Yin Ming had consulted with past sect martial arts champions and learned that these stone tablets contained their own worlds, and each stone tablet was the tomb of a fallen peak ninth-realm expert.
Yes, only those at the peak of the Ninth Realm are qualified to erect a monument here.
The broken stone tablets represent the fact that the inheritance within has been taken away by the younger generation of disciples.
Yin Ming didn't know where the secret Liu Ying mentioned was. Since he had no clue, he could only try it one by one.
The stone tablet contains a remnant of a cultivator's soul. If one can gain the soul's approval, one can enter the stone tablet to receive the inheritance.
If he doesn't gain recognition, this remnant soul will still offer some guidance out of consideration for being from the same sect.
After trying dozens of stone tablets in succession, and only sensing some profound consciousness feedback from each one, Yin Ming immediately became furious—
Damn it, I thought it would be some verbal guidance, but it turned out to be a communication at the level of consciousness?! How is he supposed to comprehend this?!
What bad luck!
Yin Ming then tried the remaining dozens of stone tablets, and without exception, he only received feedback from consciousness.
Yin Ming couldn't help but start to panic.
Could he be the only disciple among all those who have entered the Godfall Ruins to come up empty-handed? No way! That would be too embarrassing!
No, he has to get something out of this place no matter what.
At the very least, I should advance a small rank here so that when I leave, I can pretend to have had an epiphany and not be too embarrassed.
After making up his mind, Yin Ming turned around to look at Ling Yao, who had been following behind him, intending to tell him about his decision.
Unexpectedly, Lingyao was standing in front of a relatively new stone tablet with a slight frown.
He raised his long, slender hand, seemingly hesitating whether or not to touch the stone tablet.
"Ah Yao?" Seeing his actions, Yin Ming disregarded the slight awkwardness in his heart and gently called out to interrupt him.
Although Lingyao had fused with both spiritual and resentful energies, Yin Ming was unsure what the consequences would be if he touched the stone tablet with his current body.
What if the stone tablet senses the resentment on him, mistakes him for an invading demon, and triggers some protective mechanism that could harm him?
At such close range, even if Lingyao's cultivation is powerful, he might still fall victim to her attack.
It's best to be cautious.
Lingyao paused in his movements upon being reminded, a hint of confusion appearing on his face. "The aura of this stone tablet... feels somewhat familiar."
Yin Ming frowned deeply upon hearing this. Familiar?
Lingyao probably didn't know anyone from the gods before.
Thinking of something, Yin Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
Could this be his mother's tomb?!
No way! Wasn't the story supposed to be that the male lead's parents went to find the truth about the world?
Did he find himself in a tomb?
Lingyao's palm eventually covered the stone tablet.
After the two touched, the stone tablet emitted a buzzing sound, and then a vortex of flowing light slowly appeared in front of the tablet.
Lingyao withdrew her hand, but a tear inexplicably rolled down her cheek.
Upon seeing this, Yin Ming panicked and reached out to turn Yao's face around to examine him carefully. "What's wrong, Yao? Are you alright?"
Lingyao looked up helplessly, not knowing why he felt this way. "I just suddenly feel...very sad."
Yin Ming pulled him into his arms and patted his back reassuringly, "Let's go inside and take a look..."
Perhaps, the answer will be found inside the tomb.
