Chapter 3636 Cooperation Between Inheritors

Chapter 3636 Cooperation Between Inheritors

"Don't worry." Crystia inclined her head and smiled lightly, "As long as we clear the trial of a Hidden Pagoda, your prowess will be back. I'm sure many other Candidates have also found other Hidden Pagodas in this Crystal World and are working on clearing them, so if they managed to do it before us, you'd still get your prowess back."

"So these Hidden Pagodas release the cultivation seals?" Isabella raised her brows.

Seeing Crystia nod and gesture to the side, she walked over to the edge and saw a monument that indicated that it was the case.

"Before long, our seals should disperse one by one."

Crystia walked to her side and overlooked the crystal mountain range.

Some of the mountains were hers and Noctis, while some others belonged to other factions. As long as no one interfered with each other's work, there shouldn't be any confrontation for the most part.

"Would it be that easy...?"

Isabella asked. She also noticed that there were a few carcasses of some type of crystal creatures lying around. Their heads seemed gorged out as though something had been taken out, and Isabella presumed that it should be their cores.

"Come with me."

Crystia uttered and gestured at Noctis to keep an eye on their crystal mountain, to which he nodded.

Then she took Isabella and walked with her to the peak of the mountain nearby.

There was a Hidden Pagoda and a monument on the peak of a natural rock formation, standing tall like palaces, bigger than what she had seen.

[Fourth Hidden Pagoda]

[A certain amount of energy from various energy sources readily available across the Crystal World is required to access the Pagoda. However, the amount of energy required to access the Pagoda also depends on the individual.]

"..."

Isabella saw that the etchings on the monument were similar to what she saw on the Seventh Hidden Pagoda.

"Go place your hand over there."

Crystia pointed at the Hidden Pagoda, causing Isabella to move forward without hesitation. She went and touched the Hidden Pagoda and was able to garner its requirements.

"Where is Founder Rocksunder?"

"No idea." Crystia shrugged, "Probably somewhere being heroic or dying a heroic death."

"Aha~"

Isabella laughed.

It seems like they weren't worried about Ancestor Rocksunder despite him having cleared the sixth step, which meant his cultivation base was sealed up to the Level Three Immortal King Stage, leaving him in the Early Stage where people where more vulnerable but still not as vulnerable as her.

After clearing some air while venting, they went down and began mining.

However, Isabella didn't do anything.

She hovered above their crystal mountain like an Empress, towering over it.

This was done to maintain an invincible air and not indicate weakness. Instead, she overlooked everyone as though she was a supervisor commanding slave miners to work.

While doing so, she garnered everyone's cultivation base.

Out of the the twenty-nine people, three inheritors were at Level Eight Immortal King Stage, seven inheritors at Level Seven Immortal King Stage and fourteen inheritors at Level Six Immortal King Stage and four inheritors at Level Five Immortal King Stage.

There was one inheritor who was at Level Four Immortal King Stage, which meant this person had crossed into the fifth step and had free entry, not needing to mine for crystals. However, they still had a crystal mountain and kept on mining without sparing a look at others.

Isabella felt some danger from this person, but it didn't help her when she felt danger from all of them since her cultivation was sealed to the limit in the Immortal King Stage.

She sighed and kept watch. She knew this cooperation was nothing but an illusion until all hell broke out.

Eventually, three more people found their way here, and tension brewed as one of them needed to be stopped from entering the Hidden Pagoda.

For some reason, the majority cast a glance at her.

"..."

Isabella narrowed her eyes.

She knew she would be targeted because, as someone who crossed the ninth step, she would most likely be the one to clear the trial of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, and the other inheritors would naturally want to stop that from happening even before she entered it.
