My Sect System

Chapter 123 - The Town

Jian and Song Yu have reached the camp around the tomb. Seeing the size of the camp Jian was shocked. 

Because he thought that the tomb has not been explored in fifty years so there should not be many people who would explore the tomb but when he saw a town built around the tomb he was shocked. 

He didn't expect it this huge. He thought there will be some tents and some stalls. But there were buildings and pagodas built everywhere. Instead of stalls, there were shops. They had built a small town around the cave and many cultivators were living there. 

Song Yu looked at Jian's shocked expression and smiled "Master Jianyu why are shocked?"

Jian attention was brought back and he looked at Song Yu's smug face. "Why did they built a town around the tomb?"

Song Yu looked at the town and sighed "because the tomb is huge and no one was able to stay in the tomb for more than twelve hours.."

"Why?"

"No one knows but it is like a rule of the tomb. No one was able to find anything about it."

Jian had not expected this and thought that he would have to investigate everything before he goes inside and it was a good thing that they have reached the tomb before the sunset so before going to the tomb tomorrow he can investigate it.

Song Yu led Jian towards the sect towers area. There were only three pagodas in the town and one of them belonged to the Sect Tower. 

Although the town was huge it was not crowded so after walking for some time they reached the sect tower. 

"Master Jianyu wait for me, I will go and inform them of our arrival."

Jian nodded and Song Yu went inside the sect tower. Jian thought that was going to stay at the sect tower. But it looks like Song Yu had a different plan from them. 

He didn't have wait to for a long time, after ten minutes Song Yu returned and told Jian to follow her. 

While walking Jian asked "have you informed them"

"Yes, I have told them that tomorrow, we will entering the tomb."

Jian nodded and continued to follow her after walking for ten minutes they reached a second pagoda. And he has expected it was Soaring Cloud Pavilion. 

The three pagodas in the town belonged to Golden Lion Pavilion, Soaring Cloud Pavilion and Sect Tower. All three of them formed a triangle and inside that triangle, a town was built. 

So they had to walk one side from the other to reach the Soaring Cloud Pavilion. After reaching the pavilion they directly went inside. 

As they went inside Jian was shocked to see the person on the reception desk but he immediately is calmed as he had already expected this. 

Because the person was none other than Fang Ning. Jian didn't expect him to see her. But then he thought about Meng Shu so he should have expected this to happen. 

Fang Ning move to him and greeted " Jian we meet again"

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here" Jian also nodded and with a smile, he asked Fang Ning 

Fang Ning didn't know how to react to Jian's answers. He scratched his head in embarrassment. 

" It was my turn to look after the pavilion here, so I also didn't expect you to come here at the same time."

Jian nodded and then Song Yu and Fang Ning exchanged their pleasantries. After that Song Yu spoke " Master Jianyu we are going to stay here at the pavilion. So you can ask for anything and tomorrow we will go for the exploration."

Jian nodded and he had already expected to stay in the Pavillion. But instead of resting " So I want every bit of the information, you have on the tomb. Even if it is a small one I want it "

Fang Ning nodded and left. Song Yu also left after telling Jian that she needed to prepare. Jian didn't know what she was going to do but agreed since he was only gathering information. 

Fang Ning returned after few minutes and he was holding huge amounts of scrolls. Jian knew that the last fifty years of information will be huge but he had the system so it was not a problem for him to read everything in one night.

" Jian here is all information we have gathered in the last fifty years. There is also an inventory of what we found in the tomb. It also contains information others have gathered."

Jian nodded and waved his hand and all scrolls were kept in the inventory. The system immediately started to analyze the information. 

" If you are going near the tomb to explore then take this token. It will become easier for you to go to restricted areas."

Jian nodded and took the token and he handed it near his waist. " Also can you prepare a Saber higher than two-star grade? It will be easier for me in the tomb"

Fang Ning immediately nodded, he didn't have any problem providing a weapon. He told that it will be prepared before he goes to the tomb. 

Jian nodded and left the pavilion. He then moved towards the tomb. The entrance of the tomb was so huge that he can see it from anywhere. So he didn't need to ask anyone.

After walking for twenty minutes he was on the route which directly went to the entrance of the tomb. As he was reaching near it he was able to feel changes in the atmosphere. 

The number of people on the street also decreasing. Jian had already expected this. After few minutes he reached the area of the entrance of the tomb. 

He saw that many tents were built around the entrance. Many rogue cultivators were sitting and having chats with each other. He looked at the entrance and saw that guards were standing before it.

Guards were checking who goes inside and comes outside. The security was tight at the entrance of the tomb. Even people from the pavilion were following the rules. 

The reason was that the guards who were standing at the entrance were from the Sect tower. They were wearing Sect Towers token. So everyone was careful about offended them.

Jian directly went towards the entrance. Seeing Jian approaching the guards also frowned but when they saw the token hanging from his waist. They were shocked. 

As Jian was near them they greeted him. Jian was also shocked because he didn't expect them to greet him seeing the token. 

" Elder why have you come to the tomb"

One of the guards asked immediately after Jian accepted their greetings.

"No need to worry about me. I have just come to investigate near the tomb."

The guard had a questioning look but seeing the token they didn't say anything. And after nodding one of the guards led him inside the tomb. 

Everything that had happened at the entrance was seen by everyone. They were shocked to see guards from the Sect tower greet someone. They immediately started to find about Jian. 

This tomb was somewhat special, it was not similar to the alchemist tomb where they were directly able to enter it after moving through the entrance. 

In this tomb, the main entrance was deep inside the cave. The entrance which guards were guarding were artificially made by sect tower. It connects to the cave which has the main route which led to the main cave of the tomb. 

Jian already knew about it so he had directly gone inside the cave with a guard. He was going to investigate around the main cave. There were some restricted areas but he was not going to explore them for now.

The guard left Jian inside the cave and went back to the entrance. Jian then started to look. He would touch the stones on the ground and look everywhere. 

After he was not able to find anything out of ordinary. He activated Star Gaze and as he activated it he was shocked. 

Because after activating he looked at the main entrance of the tomb and he saw Thunder coursing through the walls of the cave. In every corner, Thunder was coursing. He moved near the wall and touched it but he didn't felt anything.

He thought he would get shocked if he directly touched it. He carefully looked further inside but was not able to find anything. He was only able to confirm that as he moves inside the Thunder element will increase.

He immediately thought of Su Xiaobo as he had the highest affinity for the Thunder element. He thought it would be beneficial for him to cultivate in this type of environment.

He regretted that he didn't know about the tomb before otherwise he would have brought Su Xiaobo along with him and made him cultivate here. His cultivation speed would have gone through the roof if the heaven grade Thunder Body technique was given to him.

Jian kept checking out the cave and kept thinking about Su Xiaobo and then after that, he decided to find something that would help in gathering the Thunder elements in the air.

As he was thinking the system interrupted him.
