The time left was not enough for him to enter reincarnation again, and Yu Li didn't want to waste it. Instead, he started the system mission and directly selected the Sword Tomb, which was ranked 77th.
"Mission: Sword Tomb
"Introduction: The Sword Tomb is the second hidden sword trial place in the Sword World among the three thousand alien worlds. It was lost due to alien invasion three thousand years ago. Every year, outstanding disciples from the Sword World enter it, but no one has returned yet.
"Objectives: 1. Enter the suspected sword tomb from the entrance and investigate the incident in the sword tomb 0/1; 2. Set up a traction device at the core of the sword tomb 0/3; 3. Recover the sword tomb.
"Reward: 300 million experience points or 30 top-quality spiritual stones, and a set of swordsmanship skills.
"Failure: No penalty."
In order to prevent the space from being locked, Yu Li prepared a backpack in advance and took out some needed things. There is also a bottle of thirty bigu pills and a bottle of spiritual liquid for emergencies.
After finishing it, holding the magic ruler in hand, the body system issued a command to start the task, and time and space changed, and he entered an alien space.
Yu Li had never been to the Sword Tomb. In his previous life, he had only heard about it. In many sects that specialized in practicing swordsmanship, after their elders transformed into Taoists, they would throw their own swords into the Sword Tomb and give them to the destined disciples to use. There are also disciples who are not recognized by the sword. They have no choice but to raise a sword by themselves, which is much more difficult than the disciples who directly obtain the sword from the sword tomb. After they are enthroned, their swords will also enter the sword tomb.
A sword tomb in a big world is not a small place. It is transformed from a new small world and has a radius of thousands of miles. There was no sword around Yu Li's location, and there was also yellow sand all over the place. It seemed that this place was not as good as expected.
The system is blocked again, and the soul Tao seed seems to be absent. It seems that this time I can only rely on myself. Fortunately, the Sword Tomb is not like the Void World where you can't see anything. You can still feel the breath of swordsmanship from here.
In the yellow sand, Yu Li walked all the way to the center of Jianzhong based on his senses. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a place that looked like a village. There didn't seem to be many people, and they seemed to be competing in swordsmanship.
After adjusting her makeup, she strode over. Perhaps no outsiders have come to the village for a long time. Yu Li's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention and they all stopped.
"Young man Yu Li has met all of you seniors. I'm from outside. May I ask how far is this place from the Sword Tomb?"
An old man with white beard and hair took the initiative to step forward and took a closer look at Yu Li's attire. It seemed to be incompatible with the sword world in his impression.
"I, Qingli, am the head of Gujian Village. Isn't this young man from the sword world?"
"Yes, I am not from the Sword World. I come from a small world called Earth Star. There has been no news about the Sword Tomb for many years. I accepted a mission and came in to check. I don't know what happened here and why it was different from the outside world. Lost contact?”
"You come in with me and we'll talk."
Yu Li followed the old man Qing Li into the center of the village. Others either continued to practice swords or followed curiously. After the two parties took their seats, Qing Li began to tell the story of the incident at Jianzhong.
It turns out that three thousand years ago, foreign invaders suddenly descended on the Sword Tomb. I don’t know what means they used to change the rules of the Sword Tomb. After countless years of development, the Sword Tomb has long had an independent consciousness and has become a side of heaven. In order to resist the assimilation of the invaders, the Sword Tomb was sealed and could only be entered but not exited.
Although he successfully prevented the alienation, he also lost contact with the sword world and drifted in the cracks of the universe. At the beginning, the aliens who entered the Sword Tomb were very powerful, with fifth-level and even sixth-level masters. However, the trialists who entered the Sword World were only first-level. Even with the suppression of heaven, they were no match for the aliens.
Many people died in this battle. After two hundred years of fighting, the strength of the two sides was slowly evened out. Fortunately, Sword Tomb still had a hand in hand, able to accept trialists to replenish their strength, and gradually formed the current evenly matched confrontation situation, and no one could do anything to the other. Aliens took root here, and the sword world's trialists also settled down.
No hatred can withstand the test of time. Even the lower gods of the sixth level have an upper limit on their lifespan. Under the influence of heaven, the first batch of aliens who entered the sword tomb all died of old age over a long period of time. The relationship between the two sides started from the beginning. From hatred and fighting, to a gradual truce and indifference to each other, and finally to mutual integration, they have regarded this place as their home. Fortunately, the aliens are also in human form. Apart from having different hair and skin, and having three eyes between their eyebrows, they are very similar to the people of the Sword World. Their abilities are based on the third eye. After the descendants of the two parties merged, some inherited the ability of the three eyes, and some inherited the ability of the human race in the sword world. A very small number of people have both abilities at the same time.
Without hatred, there is no possibility of continuing to fight. Those who are still alive now are already the 40th generation descendants, and their number has reached millions. They have built dozens of large cities in Jianzhong, and even established Dongcang, Nanyan, and Ximo around Jianzhong in the central area. , Beixuan four dynasties. Everyone no longer has the concept of alien races and the sword world in their hearts, and they only regard themselves as the natives here.
When Yu Li heard this, he was filled with emotion. The power of assimilation is indeed the most powerful. No matter what kind of enemies, as long as they merge with each other, they will eventually become one of our own. In this case, it shouldn't be very difficult for him to carry out the mission. After all, he is no longer an enemy, but the existence of individual hard-line elements cannot be ruled out. But the old man's words have shown that like other small worlds, the power here is also limited to the third level of perfection (level 40).
"Senior, which dynasty do you belong to here? How far is it from the royal city?"
"We belong to the West Mo Dynasty. The royal capital, Moyuan City, was built against the Sword Tomb in the central area. It is about three hundred miles away from here. Young man, want to visit the royal city?"
"Yes, now that we are here, it seems that there is little hope of going back. Even if we stay, we must first understand the world. Besides, everyone who comes for the trial, who doesn't want to go to the Sword Tomb?"
"That's true, but it's not that easy to enter the Sword Tomb now. The four passages are in the hands of the four major dynasties. Only those with outstanding talents are qualified to enter the Sword Tomb."
Yu Li didn't expect that there was such a thing, it was really troublesome.
"Senior, how can I get the chance to enter the Sword Tomb?"
"Well, you need to participate in the annual Royal City Competition. The top 100 winners are eligible to enter the Sword Tomb. Of course, the rules for entering the Sword Tomb have not changed. They are still at the first level of perfection. No one can enter beyond this level."
"That's good. I don't know when the next competition will be held? How can I participate?"
The old man thought for a while and felt that Yu Li might have some capital. Maybe he could win over him and report in the name of the village, which would also earn some resources for the village. However, it is still necessary to test his true strength, otherwise it will only be a waste of opportunities.
"According to the rules set by the dynasty, those who participate in the competition must be recommended by various colleges and localities, and then go through layers of screening before entering the final Royal City Competition. This year's competition is on the first day of July, and there is less than a month left. time."
It is better to rush early than to rush in time. It seems that God is still very favoring me.
