Upon entering the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, Yuan was teleported to a vast green plain that was filled with hills and healthy tall grass.
The first thing Yuan noticed was the oddity in the air, as it felt denser than what he was used to, and even the gravity there felt heavier than usual.
"Most of the spiritual energy in this world is created by the Nameless Emperor, so what you're feeling right now is that." Feng Yuxiang said when she noticed his expression.
"What are your plans now?"
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "As planned, I will meet up with Tian Yanyu to make sure she's doing okay and see if she needs any assistance, then I will explore this Nameless Plain for a bit before diving deeper."
The majority of the outer area within the tomb was known as the Nameless Plain, and as its name suggests, it was a massive plain that is filled with powerful magical beasts, fortunes, and opportunity.
Yuan closed his eyes and took a moment to recall the map of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb that he'd memorized within the Jade Sword Manor.
Once he found the direction to the Nameless Stone Warrior, Yuan immediately took to the blue sky and began flying towards that direction.
The destination wasn't too far away, so he reached it after flying for four hours straight.
On his way to the Nameless Stone Warrior, Yuan encountered many powerful magical beasts as well as cultivators that were trying to hunt these magical beasts.
He noticed that the magical beasts inside the tomb did not drop monster cores when defeated. Instead, it supplied those that defeated the magical beast with an abundant amount of spiritual energy directly. Furthermore, some of them even dropped treasures and resources directly, such as pills and spiritual weapons.
Most of the magical beasts that he'd encountered were all at the Spirit Lord realm with a few at the early Spirit King realm.
With the outer area already so dangerous, it was no wonder why the casualty rates were so high inside the tomb. However, with great risk comes great reward, hence why everyone that could afford to risk their life to enter did so.
When Yuan reached the vicinity of the Nameless Stone Warrior, he noticed a group of cultivators surrounding the area, and these cultivators quickly blocked his path when they noticed him.
"This place is already occupied by the Jade Sword Manor, Blue Swallow Sword Sect, and the Lightning Sword Academy."
A small group of disciples stood before Yuan, explaining the situation to him.
Yuan pointed at his own clothes and spoke in a calm voice, "I'm with the Jade Sword Manor."
The disciples glanced at his clothes and sneered, "You think we're stupid? That is simply their guest uniform. Also, anyone can disguise themselves as a disciple. Show me your disciple identity badge and I will let you enter."
"I don't have that, and I won't stay long. I just want to speak with one of their disciples." Yuan said.
"No identification, no entry. That is the rule here." The disciples stood their ground.
"Is this a rule of this place, or simply something you came up with by yourself?"
One of the disciples smirked, "In this place, the strong make the rules."
"Is that so…"
Yuan turned silent after this point.
'The Nameless Stone Warrior is a place where people go for enlightenment. If I cause a commotion here, I might disturb them.'
After pondering for a bit, Yuan retrieved Yu Jian's medallion and showed it to these disciples.
"What about this? It was given to me by Sect Leader Yu Jian himself."
The disciple squinted at the medallion before giving a scoff, "I don't recognize it, so I'm not going to accept it."
Yuan shook his head, "You're making this difficult for no reason. One last chance. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."
"You dare threaten us?!"
The disciples immediately became heated.
Yuan released a sigh, and right before the disciples could even take their first step, Yuan silently activated Heavenly Domain.
All of the disciples around him instantly fell to their knees as a tyrannical pressure bore down on them.
"H-Help…!"
These disciples could feel their bones cracking and muscles tearing apart just from the pressure alone, their bodies screaming in pain.
Within seconds, blood flowed from their eyes, nose, and ears.
"Oops."
Yuan quickly retracted the Heavenly Domain when he saw this, as he wasn't expecting such an outcome.
'I barely used my spiritual energy, yet I nearly killed them. My soul strength has grown so exponentially in such a short time that I don't know my own strength anymore. I need to be careful now if I don't want to accidentally kill someone.' Yuan swallowed nervously.
"What is going on here?!"
A loud voice suddenly boomed in the vicinity, causing Yuan to shift his attention to the group of elders approaching his direction.
Once the elders arrived, they immediately began inspecting Yuan to try and identify him.
A few of the elders there were from the Jade Sword Manor, so they immediately recognized his esteemed guest uniform. Furthermore, Yuan was still holding their Sect Leader's medallion.
"Who are you, and why did you attack my disciples?" An old man wearing a blue uniform stepped forward and questioned Yuan with an angry expression while the other elders went to treat the disciples by feeding them a healing pill.
Yuan quickly explained himself, but the elder did not seem to be satisfied by it. Yuan couldn't blame the elder, as he'd nearly killed the disciples.
However, before the situation could get any worse, Yu Jian showed up to the scene after being notified by the elders from his sect.
After speaking with the elder from the Blue Swallow Sword Sect, Yu Jian managed to calm the situation.
"I have settled things for now, so you can enter, but that is only for now. They might try to trouble you later, and I can't protect you then." Yu Jian sighed.
"That's fine. Thank you for the assistance." Yuan showed him a calm smile, almost as though he couldn't care less about it.
He entered the area with Yu Jian a moment later while being glared at by the disciples that he'd nearly killed.
