"Bang—"
Hearing the commotion from next door, Die Ke crushed the teacup in his hand!
With his blood-red eyes, he paid no mind to the blood flowing from his injured right hand!
"You shameless wretch!"
"You brazen harlot!"
"How could you be so provocative!"
With every crash or shout from next door, Die Ke murmured to himself, and with each utterance, the light of his fortune dimmed further.
Initially, the color surrounding him was a deep azure.
Yet, as time passed, the hue faded more and more.
By the time dawn broke and silence fell next door, the azure had completely vanished, leaving only a muted green in its wake.
"Sigh, this boy is exceptional in many ways, but his temperament leaves much to be desired!"
"Born as the heir of the Die family and hailed as a prodigious talent, he knows nothing of hardship!"
Observing the exhausted and hoarse Die Ke, the elder within the ring could only chuckle wryly.
He refrained from interjecting, hoping to use this opportunity to toughen Die Ke's character.
Little did he realize that this very trial was leading to the erosion of Die Ke's future!
If Die Ke, once adorned with azure fortune, could have reached the level of an Emperor, now, the Sacred tier was the limit he could aspire to!
Unless he encountered another extraordinary chance to restore his fortune!
Unaware of this, the elder remained self-satisfied!
It wasn't until midday that he cast a calming spell to awaken Die Ke!
"Master, I've lost my composure again!"
Surprisingly, despite his lost future, Die Ke had visibly matured through this ordeal!
"It would be best if you understand!"
"Remember, no matter the circumstances, strength is always paramount!"
"Why can Cao Wenbin toy with your ancestor at will, shaping her as he pleases?"
"The root cause lies in his strength, doesn't it?"
Nodding gently, Die Ke acknowledged his master's words.
Without another word, he sprang up and rushed out of the Die estate!
"Shameless couple, you'll pay for this!"
"Once I emerge from the Sacred tier ancient tomb, your end shall come!"
"At that time, the men shall perish, and as for Die Yunyu…"
…
Nine hundred miles outside Lingxiao City, at the entrance of a cave amidst the mountains.
Following the description from the "Dragon King of Another World," Cao Wenbin and Die Yunyu finally discovered this opportunity.
They had arrived just in time!
As they reached the cave's entrance, the barriers vanished instantly!
"This is indeed a tomb of a Sacred tier!"
Unlike Cao Wenbin's calm demeanor, upon sensing the aura within, Die Yunyu's body trembled uncontrollably!
It was no surprise; for someone accustomed to poverty, encountering a mountain of gold was overwhelmingly difficult to remain composed!
"Alright, you should enter quickly!"
"Though this inheritance won't grant you immediate ascendance to the Sacred tier, elevating you to the Nirvana stage should pose no issue!"
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Die Yunyu replied earnestly, "Then I shall proceed!"
"Upon my return, I shall serve you well!"
With that, she slipped into the cave.
Cao Wenbin turned and descended the mountain!
However, he was not heading home but rather to witness a grand spectacle!
This was a carefully orchestrated event for Die Ke!
…
That evening.
After a long journey, Die Ke finally arrived at the foot of the mountain!
In the past, this place was so desolate that even a rabbit wouldn't defecate here!
Yet today, it buzzed with activity!
In several key areas leading into the mountains, powerful warriors at the King level were stationed to guard!
Initially, Die Ke felt quite elated!
His mind was filled with dreams of soaring to greatness!
Of course, he primarily reveled in the echoes of Die Yunyu's voice!
But when he sensed the unusual atmosphere, his expression darkened!
"Could it be that the Sacred tier ancient tomb has been discovered?"
With this thought, Die Ke rushed towards the checkpoint.
He no longer cared about the guards stationed there!
Unfortunately, he currently lacked the strength to force his way through!
As the destined child, fighting above his level was second nature to Die Ke!
Yet at this moment, he was only at the peak of the Shattered realm!
Even with considerable combat prowess, he stood no chance against a King level opponent!
After all, there were two entire realms separating them!
Thus, after taking a couple of slaps, Die Ke resorted to reasoning with the group.
"Who are you?"
"This is clearly a desolate mountain; on what grounds do you deny me entry?"
Die Ke expected them to present some documents, elaborating on their rationale to justify their actions.
To his surprise, the interrogated guard sneered and uttered words that could incite fury!
"On what grounds do we deny you entry?"
"Let me tell you, it's simply because this place has caught the eye of my Cao family!"
"In this Central State, anything coveted by my Cao family is ours!"
