The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1463

Chapter 1463: Take your rightful place by my side Chapter 1463: Take your rightful place by my side Lady Azure listened carefully to Cain’s analysis but shook her head with a knowing smile.

“Your reasoning is sound, Elder Laurifer, but there is more to this.

I conducted a preliminary analysis of the tomb, and it is clear that if any Third Realm lifeform were to enter, the tomb would self-destruct.

The Sky Sovereign clearly had no intention of allowing his wealth to fall into the hands of another relic from his era.

He would rather see it all destroyed than let it be taken.” Hearing those words, Cain’s mind raced.

Her explanation clarified everything.

The Sky Sovereign had crafted his tomb to restrict access to only Soul Realm lifeforms, ensuring it could only be opened by those who had yet to transcend completely into divine entities.

This limitation not only preserved the treasures from the greedy hands of the truly powerful but also created an opportunity for cultivators like Cain.

However, it made secrecy all the more crucial.

If the news of the tomb spread widely, many would attempt to infiltrate it, hoping to plunder its treasures regardless of the danger.

Time was another critical factor.

The longer they waited, the more likely it became that others would learn about the tomb, just as the nomad cultivator had.

It was a race against time, and Cain understood the urgency.

He turned to Lady Azure with a sharp, focused gaze.

“What exactly do you need from me, Lady Azure?” Lady Azure’s expression grew serious, her sharp eyes fixed on Cain.

She didn’t hesitate.

“I cannot leave the sect.

The moment I step outside, every other faction will unleash everything they have to kill me.

That is why I must rely on you and six of my most powerful and trusted warriors to venture into the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb and retrieve its treasures.” She paused for a moment, allowing her words to sink in.

Her tone grew even graver as she continued.

“The Gu Contest is upon us, and this will be our last opportunity to enhance our strength before the battle royale begins.

If we manage to claim all the treasures hidden within the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb, our faction’s power will eclipse that of every other competitor.

It will ensure our dominance and allow us to kill anyone that dares to stand in our way.” Cain nodded slightly, his mind processing her words.

For the past year, every major action taken by him and the other influential figures in the sect had revolved around preparing for the Gu Contest.

Given that more than ninety percent of those taking part in the contest would die, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

The idea of acquiring the wealth of a Peak Prima Deity was a tantalizing prospect.

Such treasures could contain cultivation techniques, divine artifacts, and resources so rare that they could reshape the strength of any faction, making it rise by leaps and bounds.

A single successful raid could make Lady Azure’s faction the undisputed number one force in the contest.

Cain weighed the risks and rewards in silence for a few moments before his eyes gleamed with determination.

“When do we move?” he asked, his voice firm.

Lady Azure’s lips curved into a small, satisfied smile.

“You and the other six will move at nightfall.

The operation must be swift and silent.

If the other factions catch even a hint of movement, they’ll retaliate with everything they have to weaken me, regardless of whether they understand the true purpose of your mission.” Cain acknowledged her words with a slight bow before rising to leave.

He exited Lady Azure’s quarters and returned to his residence, the weight of the task ahead heavy on his mind.

Once inside his cultivation abode, he retrieved a communication crystal and spoke into it.

“I am ready, Night Prince.” Barely five seconds after Cain uttered those words, he felt an unfamiliar force tugging at his consciousness, attempting to drag him into a dream dimension.

He allowed it, ensuring the Absolute Life Form System didn’t block the energy.

In an instant, he found himself in a dark, surreal dimension.

The air felt thick and heavy with a sense of foreboding, and the figure of the Night Prince emerged from the shadows.

“Brother Laurifer, what did the old hag want from you?” the Night Prince asked without preamble, his tone sharp and direct.

Cain studied the man carefully before responding.

“She wants me to be part of a team tasked with raiding the tomb of a Prima Deity.” The Night Prince’s cold smile widened.

“So, the old hag wants you to infiltrate the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb.

Interesting.

We can use this to our advantage.” Cain’s eyes narrowed as he processed the implications of the Night Prince’s words.

It was clear the man was already aware of the tomb’s existence.

Although Lady Azure had ordered the nomad cultivator silenced, there were countless ways the information could have leaked.

The nomad could have shared it with others before his death, or perhaps a member of Lady Azure’s faction involved in the transaction was a spy for the Night Prince.

Regardless of how the information had reached him, what mattered to Cain was the Night Prince’s intentions.

The Night Prince, understanding Cain’s preference for directness, didn’t waste time.

“I’ll send one of my elite teams into the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb as well.

You’ll remain with Lady Azure’s team.

When the time is right, you’ll take the treasures and eliminate them all.” Cain’s eyes sharpened as he heard those words.

He stared at the Night Prince for a long moment before speaking in a measured, solemn tone.

“If I do as you say, there will be no way to continue hiding my role as your spy from Lady Azure.” The Night Prince’s smile didn’t falter.

“There’s no longer a need to maintain that charade, Brother Laurifer.

The Gu Contest will begin soon, and the time has come for you to take your rightful place by my side.

When this is over, there will be no more pretending.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Check the comments for images 24/31 Chapter: 21 weekly + 5 for super gift (Preston) + 2 for golden ranking (+70) + 3 for power stone ranking (+400)
