Primordial Cultivator

"You are crazier than me," Elder Jing sighed softly and gave up in convincing Yang Wei.

She has finally realized that Yang Wei could be even more stubborn than her in terms of attitude and behavior.

"You know we're going to fall into the void and down there could possibly be death waiting for us." Elder Jing added.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders as he sat down next to Elder Jing. "If that's the case then I believe it's inevitable since the Pagoda loves to troll people."

The Pagoda has constantly revealed itself in tempting many cultivators to test their luck in trying to obtain its inheritance and itself, only to result in multiple deaths.

However, the funny part is that, even after many cultivators died, there are constantly new cultivators joining the trial.

Elder Jing nodded her head and wondered if she was being fooled by the mysterious shadow on bringing another person with her.

"Sigh, the cultivation world is ruthless and no one really cares about a mere thousand people's death since the population never decreases," Elder Jing sighed softly.

Afterward, she leaned her head at Yang Wei's shoulder as she became more exhausted from the gravitational pressure.

Yang Wei wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they embraced each other as they witnessed the final staircase disappearing into the void.

Although they could still struggle themselves to ascend upward, it would simply be a waste of time considering the seemingly endless staircase and the weight that increases exponentially on them.

"Heh, it seems like the Pagoda doesn't want to waste any more time on us," Yang Wei jokes.

"I bet the Pagoda is cursing at your foolish behavior now," Elder Jing chuckled softly as they watched the staircase they're in slowly disappearing.

Within a few seconds, the staircase vanished and they started free-falling in the unknown void.

Yang Wei and Elder Jing embraced each other tightly as they smiled at each other on what their fate will become.

Whoosh!

Their bodies tread past the void and a sudden wave of spiritual qi knocked the two of them unconscious as they slowly drifted afloat.

Meanwhile, within the void, a shadow slowly manifested into a miniature Pagoda-looking as it stared at Yang Wei solemnly.

Afterward, it started blinking brightly and the void started combusting, bringing Yang Wei along with Elder Jing into a new place.

A place that seemed to be a mini-house but one that has been neglected as cobwebs could be seen forming in the door and there are no other people living inside.

The miniature Pagoda then flicked Yang Wei and Elder Jing into the ground as he retrieved something from Yang Wei's body.

"Since that senile Old Ling injected his own true qi mixed with his blood essence then I shall spare your life for failing the trial. However, don't expect to have another chance since you no longer have the opportunity to take the trial anymore."

The miniature Pagoda mumbled softly as he vanished from the area, leaving Yang Wei and Elder Jing alone.

Sometime later, Yang Wei slowly woke up after being knocked out by a profound aura from the spiritual qi.

His head hurts slightly as Yang Wei clenches onto his head with both of his hands briefly to stop the pain from intensifying.

"Nghn, where am I now?" Yang Wei exclaimed softly as he glanced around the area he was thrown into.

Afterward, Yang Wei remembered he was with Elder Jing as he started to panic before calming down when he saw Elder Jing laying down next to him.

Elder Jing had her eyes closed which scared Yang Wei briefly but once he checked on her condition with his spiritual sense, he calmed down and realized she was just sleeping.

"Phew, we actually didn't die. Thank the heavens," Yang Wei looked up and realized there was a clear blue sky as he became thankful.

He was sure they would definitely die since they had failed the trial.

However, Yang Wei didn't complain about this outcome as he waited for Elder Jing to wake up slowly.

"Seems like we are evicted from the Pagoda, Elder Jing," Yang Wei mumbled softly as he moved some of her hair gently away from her face.

He saw the Pagoda standing tall from afar and that they were outside but the funny part is, there seemed to be no living magical beasts around this particular area they reside in.

It was almost like this area was isolated from the rest of the mysterious realm.

Time slowly passed by and Elder Jing started to open her eyes slightly. Yang Wei noticed her awakening as he lifted her body up with a smile on his face.

"You finally woke up now," Yang Wei laughed as he laid her next to his shoulder.

Elder Jing glanced at Yang Wei in confusion before recalling that they had fallen into the void.

"How long have I been asleep?" Elder Jing asked as she rubbed her eyes slightly.

Yang Wei became quiet as he smiled bitterly. "It's been about two days since you remained sleeping and I didn't dare to wake you up because your body was normal without any hint of illness."

"T-Two days?" Elder Jing stuttered and she started to glance around the surroundings to see where they are now.

"Relax, Elder Jing, we are safe here and there are some magical beasts that were lurking previously. However, they seemed to be afraid of something as they didn't dare to venture here and left shortly after." Yang Wei explained the situation to Elder Jing.

Yang Wei also mentioned the fact that they are no longer within the Pagoda and Elder Jing smiled briefly.

"Heh, it's already good enough that we managed to survive from that scenario." Elder Jing said and continued, "Seems like we can only wait till the mysterious realm ends now."

Although she was a bit disappointed to not achieve the result she got from last time, she was grateful to gain something that is even more precious than some unknown inheritance.
