Cultivation Pet Shop

The two of them slowly made their way over to the totem while checking for traps, but there weren\'t any to be found.

Slowly they made their way over to the totem that was placed right in the center of the room, coming to a mouth that was facing them with a keyhole in its mouth. The shape of the keyhole perfectly matched the shape of the key that the smaller figure was wearing around their neck.

After checking the totem and making sure that nothing was wrong, the taller figure took a few steps back as the smaller figure took the key and placed it in the hole.

The moment the key was inserted, it was like there was a strange force that pulled it in and turned the key automatically. The key turned a half rotation before being pulled deeper into the hole and turning another half circle to make a full rotation.

As soon as the key finished its full rotation, the entire cave began to shake as the totem suddenly started spinning. The moment it began spinning, it also began slowly receding into the floor of the cave, turning as it sunk into the floor.

Once the totem had fully sunk down into the floor, swallowing the key as it went, the shaking in the room finally stopped as a large circular door was revealed in the wall of the cave.

After the circular passage was revealed in the wall of the cave, there was a booming voice that rang out, "Welcome challenger and congratulations on finding our legacy. The trial will begin once all participants enter the gathering area."

What these two figures didn\'t know was that this voice didn\'t just ring out in the cave, it had rung out through the entire cultivation realm. Naturally that also meant that Lin Fan, Angela, and Momonga had all heard this.

The two figures were completely unaware of this as they headed into the passage.

…

Lin Fan had been watching the Rock Nibbler fight a giant rock monster that was more than a hundred times its size, dying again and again to the rock monster when he suddenly felt a tremble in the ground.

At first he didn\'t care about the slight tremble since he thought that it was a small earthquake, but then there was a burst of energy that was hard for him to ignore. Of course, there was also the booming voice that filled the air saying, "Welcome challenger and congratulations on finding our legacy. The trial will begin once all participants enter the gathering area."

Lin Fan looked at Angela who just shook her head to show that she didn\'t know what was going on either.

But while they were confused, Momonga had suddenly come back from his exploration trip.

Lin Fan was about to ask Momonga what this was, but before he could say anything, Momonga said, "Let\'s go, this is a good chance."

Momonga didn\'t explain anything as he suddenly flicked out with his finger, knocking out the rock monster that the Rock Nibbler had been fighting. Then without even turning back, he headed off in a certain direction.

Lin Fan and Angela looked at each other before Lin Fan called back the Rock Nibbler and followed behind Momonga.

They tried asking Momonga what was happening, but he ignored all these questions as he looked like he was lost in thought. However, he didn\'t pause for even a second.

Following the waves of energy that came from a certain place, eventually they reached the same cave that the two cloaked figures had entered.

Walking along this cave, they eventually reached the same room, but the only difference was that there wasn\'t a totem in this room at all and there was only a passage for them. The totem had completely sunk down into the floor and the top of the totem perfectly blended with the colour of the floor.

Momonga didn\'t linger for even a second as he walked right down that passage.

Lin Fan and Angela were clearly still confused, but they still followed him.

While Angela still had her own personal feelings towards Momonga, she just followed Lin Fan.

As for Lin Fan, Momonga wasn\'t just a friend. Through studying under Momonga for four months now, Lin Fan was close to considering Momonga half a teacher, so there was a bond of trust between them.

Eventually they came out to a room that was completely carved out of blue crystals with a single arch on a platform slightly above the level of the floor right in front of the wall opposite of them.

However, they weren\'t alone in this room.

Standing opposite of them, right by the platform with the arch patiently waiting were the two cloaked figures.

The two cloaked figures were also looking in their direction and based on the aura that they released, it was clear that they weren\'t friendly.

The shorter of the two figures looked at the taller figure the moment Lin Fan\'s group had come in and the taller figure gave a nod. Then without any delay, the taller of the two figures had disappeared.

Lin Fan couldn\'t see what was happening, but that didn\'t mean that the other two couldn\'t.

Angela just stood there not doing a thing since she knew that Momonga would take care of it and he did just that.

Momonga raised one hand and with a flick of his finger, the taller figure was knocked away and sent flying back to the smaller figure. That taller figure slid across the floor before coming to a stop in front of the smaller figure.

The smaller figure was shocked before quickly squatting down to help the taller figure up.

Just based on the way they were vigilantly looking at Momonga, it was clear that they were scared of him. But that did make sense since Momonga was free to use his full power here and he was the infamous Ruler of Death.

Since this was a cultivation realm that the system had sent them to, it meant that Momonga was free to use his full cultivation without fear of exposing Lin Fan.

However, Momonga had his tact and he knew how to handle this situation. He was clear about what kind of cultivation the other side had and he used power that was just a single realm higher, but that single realm was like the gap between heaven and earth.

Momonga gave a snort and said, "Only in the Planet Realm and daring to act this arrogantly, you really don\'t know where you are, do you?"

The two cloaked figures became even more vigilant when they heard this.

The taller figure was the one who had clashed with Momonga, so he could tell just how powerful he was from that blow just now. If his guess was right, this might even be an expert in the Sun Realm.

Not to mention that he had two companions with him who were both hiding their cultivation.

If they were both in the same realm, they would definitely be in a bad position.

After a bit of hesitation, the smaller of the two figures spoke, "We don\'t mean any harm, we just came here to take the trial for the inheritance. If possible, we could work together to take it."

The voice that came out was one that surprised Lin Fan since it was the voice of a girl.

He never expected this cloaked figure to be a girl.

Momonga on the other hand stared at these two cloaked figures for a bit before pulling Lin Fan aside, "What do you think we should do? You\'re the one in charge here."

Lin Fan thought for a bit before saying, "They are the ones who opened this place, so it\'s their right to it. We\'re the ones who suddenly intruded on them."

Momonga revealed a faint smile as he said, "But they\'re the ones who attacked us first. If it wasn\'t for the fact that we\'re stronger than them, they would have already killed us."

Lin Fan said, "But…"

But Momonga cut him off, "Alright, there\'s no need to try and convince me, I\'m for working with them as well. Just tell me what you\'re really thinking."

Lin Fan also revealed a smile, "We can get information from them if we work with them."

Momonga nodded as he said, "That\'s true, but you\'re not the one who thought of this, right?" At this, his smile became wider.

Lin Fan said with the same smile, "Yes, it was Brainy who thought of this. Brainy told me that they must have sent the weaker one to test us to see if we\'re worth cooperating with. Now that we\'ve passed their test, they will want to work with us until they can find a chance to betray us. However, that also means that we can use them for information before that."

Momonga nodded before saying, "It\'s good that you have the same idea as me. Alright, we\'ll do that for now."

As Momonga turned to head back to talk to the cloaked figures, Lin Fan stopped him by saying, "Wait, can you tell me what this place is first?"

Momonga turned back to look at Lin Fan as he said, "Wait for a bit, I\'ll tell you once we get in."

Lin Fan nodded and they headed back to where Angela had been waiting and watching the two cloaked figures.

Momonga was the one who spoke since he was the one who made a move. Keeping Lin Fan and Angela\'s abilities hidden would be a good bargaining chip for them.

Momonga said, "Alright, we can work together."
