Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak

Chapter 19- Heaven's Cave Inheritance

Hu Man was fuming with rage as he looked at the higher-ups from the High Heaven Pavilion and the Storm House before shouting. "This is my Blood Battle Group's mining area! How could you trespass here?"

However, Xiao Ruohan remained calm and gently replied with a smile. "Group Leader Hu, our Sects have lived as neighbours for hundreds of years, we are all considered old neighbours. Naturally, after hearing such a big commotion happening within the Blood Battle Group, we were naturally worried and came to investigate. If your Sect needs any help from us, as neighbours, we must try our best not to decline. Won't you agree, Elder Wei?"

Xiao Ruohan's words were naturally meant to pressure the Blood Battle Group while showing their temporary alliance with High Heaven Pavilion. At that moment, Hu Man's complexion turned ugly as he coldly snorted.

Wei Xitong nodded in agreement. "Master Xiao speaks with the utmost reason. Group Leader Hu, this place should be the Heaven's Cave Inheritance of legends. Although the buried treasures inside are innumerable, it holds many dangers as well. Your Blood Battle Group members alone may not be able to tackle such a place. Come; let's discuss how we can help you explore this cave."

"Look at these fools trying to get something they don't even understand." Su Mu muttered in a mocking tone.

"Did you say something, brat?" Meng Wuya asked.

"The weather is quite nice, isn't it? Look at those dead birds lying there." Su Mu answered without any delay.

"You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Meng Wuya was wondering if Xia Ning Chang would forgive him if he accidentally slapped Su Mu to death.

Hu Man angrily retorted. "This is my Blood Battle Group's mining area. The restrictions here are naturally ours. However, we are unable to explain it and likewise, do you think that you could? With your abilities, do you think that you have the qualifications to enter?"

Meng Wuya coldly snorted. "I will explain the restriction!"

Hu Man awkwardly and bitterly looked towards Meng Wuya, not daring to refute this old man.

Xiao Ruohan smiled. "Group Leader Hu, you should calm down a little. This is a matter that we have to discuss!"

From a distance, crowds of experts were still gathering to see the ruckus. No matter how far away they were, be it in the Black Wind Trade Area or their respective Sects, they were all able to see the dragon and phoenix blend together in the sky.

Although many did not know the situation at the mines, if there were going to be more magnificent scenes, how could they not want to watch them? Therefore, after the dragon and phoenix flew back down, the people heading there sped up.

"Su Mu, why are you here?" From within the group of High Heaven Pavilion's elders, Su Xuan Wu stepped forward.

"Oh, grandfather." Su Mu waved his hand towards the old man. Before Su Xuan could reply, Meng Wuya interrupted him.

"I brought him here. That's not important right now, go and stop those people from approaching." Meng Wuya suddenly replied, making everybody understand that Su Mu was with him while also pointing out that the crowd was approaching too close. Naturally, Hu Man was the first to send people after hearing Meng Wuya's order.

After seeing that the Blood Battle Group was obeying Meng Wuya's orders, the High Heaven Pavilion and the Storm Hall also decided to send some cultivators to manage the crowd.

The crowd was moving forward noisily but was stopped by the experts of the three Sects. They encircled the 3-kilometre radius of the Bloody Battle Group's mining area, preventing the crowd from going further under Meng Wuya's order.

After a while, the three Sects enlisted their top disciples to enter the cave and search for the situation of the cave first. Three people, Su Yan from High Heaven Pavilion, Long Jun from Blood Battle Group and Fang Ziji from Storm House entered the cave simultaneously.

---

Su Yan came back after half a day, followed by Long Jun and Fang Ziji. The three people reported back to their respective Sects about their findings and then dispersed in three different directions. Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the Sects continued their discussion.

It was not till a long time later, that the message was passed on to the lower disciples to inform them to gather. After a while, a crowd of High Heaven Pavilion disciples walked towards the five Elders.

"Will Senior Sister Xia join this race as well?" Su Mu asked, looking at the crowd.

"What do you think?" Meng Wuya asked in return.

"It won't be good for her considering she just broke through. And her fighting strength is weaker than a normal True Element Realm Cultivator considering that she is an alchemist." Su Mu answered, making Meng Wuya nod in return.

"But she is, after all, a cultivator. I doubt you'll let her miss out on something like this." Su Mu continued.

No matter how hateful this brat was, his logic was indeed correct.

"Who knows, I might run into her inside." Su Mu said with a smile, causing Meng Wuya to twitch all over.

"You should go join the High Heaven Pavilion's side if you wish to join in the fun. This old man will take his leave first." Meng Wuya replied, walking toward a secluded area. Staying with Su Mu for long periods wasn't good for his health.

Su Mu shrugged his shoulders before walking over to where the High Heaven Disciples were gathered. Everyone was busy gossiping about what they thought would happen along with some brimming with hope to get some treasures.

"Silence!" Wei Xi Tong declared with a serious face. With just one word, the two thousand High Heaven Pavilion Disciples immediately looked up at him with their eyes burning. Everyone knew that the news they were about to receive was about Heaven's Cave Inheritance.

Wei Xi Tong coughed lightly and continued, "You all should already know what has happened and what opportunities you may receive inside the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. Even after living for such a long time, this old man and many others have never seen a Heaven's Cave Inheritance. Let alone us, the entire Great Han Dynasty has never seen this cave for a thousand years! We do not know for certain how high one's cultivation level must be to create a Heaven's Cave Inheritance, but we certainly do know there must be countless treasures inside. Spirit Pills, rare Cultivation Techniques, armour and weapons, and finally, the most important treasure of them all, the inheritance of the cultivator who died!"

'It's not about their Cultivation. The inheritance cave was mainly created by the Golden Divine Dragon Source and Ice Phoenix Source, their cultivation should have done little help. There is no way that a Saint Realm Cultivator is strong enough for such a feat.' Su Mu thought. He was able to clearly understand the writings at the entrance of Heaven's Inheritance Cave, so he had a general idea of all the inheritances that were inside, that includes the Dragon and Phoenix Sources and their general locations as well. He also learned that the Soul Warming Lotus wasn't included in this inheritance.

Wei Xi Tong continued, "Such treasure will undoubtedly be accompanied by many dangers! Do remember that inside, the slightest mistake could get you killed!" With those words, those hot heads that were ready to rush in suddenly had their heads cooled down with a slap from reality as their spirits gradually grew more solemn.

Seeing some dispirited faces caused Wei Xi Tong to coldly snorted. "These advantages are there and should be taken! If you don't take it, another person will! If you were to risk your life to enter in search of an opportunity, would you still be willing to go in?"

After that moment, another voice sounds out. "Great Elder! This is a huge chance! If I were to miss it, wouldn't it be a pity? Even if there isany risk involved, we must take it on for the opportunities inside!"

"Certainly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could one possibly choose to miss it?"

"We must go in!"

"Good!" Wei Xi Tong nods with a satisfied expression. "My High Heaven Pavilion disciples should be unafraid of danger. They should have courage and uprightness! Your decision has made this old man gratified. All disciples listen to my command! All those who are over the age of 30, move to one corner!"

Immediately, the disciples of High Heaven disciples separated. The population of those in the middle was reduced to 40%.

Wei Xi Tong looked at the group of disciples that were over 30 pitifully and said. "You are unable to enter the cave. There is a limit for those of age 30 and above. And those that are in the realm of Immortal Ascension and above are also unable to enter."

"How can this be!" The crowd of rejected disciples cried out.

"This is not a rule that we made. The senior who made the cave had set up a few restrictions, which we must abide by. Naturally, he must have his reasons for doing so." The second elder, Su Xuan Wu, Su Yan and Su Mu's grandfather, shouted.

Before the crowd could complain further, Wei Xi Tong shouted. "Those disciples under the Initial Element Realm will move to this side!"

Another group separated from the ones in the middle.

"You are currently able to go in but we can'tpermit your entry!" Wei Xi Tong stared at them. "The dangers inside are too much for you. Your strength is currently too weak and going inside would be equal to signing a death sentence!"

This group of people were self-aware and dare not bring forward any complaints. With those two conditions, the remaining participants from the High Heaven Pavilion only added up to 300-400.

Wei Xi Tong looked at the remaining crowd and continued. "If you do not wish to enter the cave, you can leave now. The Sect will not force you to enter. Also, those that enter cannot complain if they are reported dead!" However, even with the warning, the enticement of the Heaven's Cave Inheritance was too much for anyone to choose to leave.

Wei Xi Tong waited for a long time before smiling. "Since you have chosen to enter, I will tell you all I know about the place so that you all can be mentally prepared to enter."

All he would know was from the report by Su Yan. Although what she understood was not much, it was better than nothing.

The Heaven's Cave Inheritance also had an abundance of world energy, which made it very suitable for cultivation. Moreover, the cave had special exits that had to be used to return. Else, the disciples would be unable to exit.

After explaining, Wei Xi Tong said "Because this place was first discovered by the Blood Battle Group, they will be sending in 50 people first. After waiting for six hours, the High Heaven Pavilion and Storm House will send their disciples together. While inside, you must not only be careful of the many dangers within the Heaven's Inheritance Cave but also the disciples from Blood Battle Group and Storm Hall. Do not allow yourselves to find a treasure but be unable to enjoy it!"

"Disciples of High Heaven Pavilion. If you bump into each other inside, you must help each other mutually and survive! Am I loud and clear?"

"Yes!" The disciples shouted.

"First, we will dismiss you. Find a place to rest and prepare. When the time comes for us to enter, we will inform you." Hence, the disciples dispersed and sought an appropriate place to meditate.

In the backside of the area where no disciples from any Sect were present, Su Mu was standing along with Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er.

"What's with that look, little sis? Are you scared?" Hu Jiao'er teased while looking at the worried expression on her sister's face.

"Yes, unlike you guys, I'm not that strong." Hu Mei'er replied, somewhat dejected. Even after Su Mu's help, she was only able to reach the 4th Stage of the Initial Element while her sister was already at the 2nd Stage of the True Element Realm.

"Don't worry, I promise that you'll be able to get stronger soon." Su Mu said, kissing Hu Mei'er. He could feel the Divine Sense of a certain Saint Realm cultivator sneaking on them occasionally while blocking any other Cultivator's Divine Sense from sensing them, so Su Mu wasn't holding back with the intimacy. He was sure that Meng Wuya was most likely gritting his teeth while cursing him out of annoyance. For some reason, annoying Meng Wuya was never boring.

'So Meng Wuya still trusts me?' Su Mu thought before he noticed that Hu Jiao'er had a frown on her face while looking at them.

"Is my Jiao'er jealous?" Su Mu asked, grinning at her.

Although Hu Jiao'er was blushing hard after hearing Su Mu calling her 'his', she still nodded. Su Mu leaned forward and kissed her.

"You two should go in together, and make sure to hold hands. You'll be teleported in the same spot that way." Su Mu explained. He would've said more if Meng Wuya wasn't watching but alas. He slightly glanced at the two star-shaped tattoos on Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er's wrists as he smiled.

Although they were confused at how Su Mu knew this, they still nodded before Hu Jiao'er said. "We should get going now."

"Mmh." Hu Mei'er nodded. Due to their status, their presence was necessary for this kind of event.

Both of them left after getting one more kiss from Su Mu.

'I should also refine the little Sword Qi I used to travel this distance.' Su Mu thought, making his way towards the place where the High Heaven Pavilion Disciples were gathered.

While sitting in a meditative position, Su Mu felt that several gazes were directed towards him from different directions, most of which was thanks to the fact that he was standing with Meng Wuya when the Sect Leaders were discussing about the Heaven's Cave Inheritance.

Looking around, he noticed that Su Yan was glaring daggers at him while also glaring at Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er. She most likely noticed that Su Mu and the Hu Sisters were missing for the past fifteen minutes. Looking at him chuckling at her, Su Yan turned around with a slightly red face. She never expected him to notice her gaze like this, which caught her off guard.

'Qi Transformation 7th Stage?' The other gaze was from a woman Su Mu didn't recognize. She was older than him, nineteen years to be precise and she was quite attractive. Her facial features were quite delicate, pupils like water, tender skin with a good figure, particularly that abundant chest which didn't have an equal. Her breasts were one of the largest even among the countless women Su Mu has experienced.

Noticing his gaze, the woman gave him a bright smile. Su Mu smiled back at her before getting back to refining his Yuan Qi into Sword Qi.
