Life After Reaching The Pinnacle

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Tomb

Bhadru closed the book just after reading the first page, as he took a deep breath to suppress his happiness. With just one page he could feel his bottleneck loosening, he was now sure that the owner was some Bigshot and it was his blessings that the owner built his bookstore in his kingdom.

Jev was confused seeing Bhadru closing the book, he could break through now so why did he stop reading?

Seeing Jev's confused expression, Bhadru said: "You're forgetting that breaking through in Ruler Profound Stage and above leads to surrounding Profound energy Disturbance so I had to make some preparation so that I didn't alert others, Coralhelm definitely has a triumph card so hiding my cultivation is best for us now."

Jev nodded as he knew about that, he said "Then you can visit the expert as we haven't paid the price of this book and it will show our goodwill towards him."

Bhadru instantly agreed and said, "Good idea let's go and I'll bring Flaming Amru pearl as the payment for this book."

Jev smiled upon hearing that, the Flaming Amru pearl was the heirloom of the Royal Kela Family, it was acquired by their ancestor after a tragic war. Whoever holds that pearl can do a whopping 50% more damage using fire-related techniques.

As if remembering something, Jev said "Due to the expert, I completely forgot to tell you, your majesty. A tomb of Heaven Profound Stage Artist was found on the border of our kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms are already on the move, They'll probably reach the tomb in three days, also There's a Rune formation in the tomb which only allows entry to those who are in Origin Profound Stage and are under 25 years old, also judging by the formation only 50 people can enter at a time."

Bhadru's face turned solemn hearing that and he said "If it was just a heaven Profound Stage Artist's tomb, it would have been but given there's a rune formation, that person was most likely a Rune formation master and that creates trouble for us as everyone would want a share of it."

Thinking of this Bhadru clicked his fingers and a figure in a black coat appeared kneeling in front of them.

"Here at your command, your majesty." The figure's voice was vague and one couldn't guess its gender listening to its voice or from its figure.

"Gather all the elite of the young generation, Jev and you will be leading them and you'll depart for the tomb tomorrow morning," Bhadru said to the figure who nodded and disappeared.

He was a member of the Dark Crow squad which was established for the sole purpose of obeying the king. Only Elite can get into this squad.

Bhadru then turned towards Jev and said "Let's go, we'll first meet with expert." As he said he also put the book in his storage ring.

Jev and Bhadru then flew away towards Maple Town.

On the other side, Aadi entered the bookstore with Aurora following him.

Now, the whole aura of Aurora was changed, her expression was calm as if nothing could make her fluster. Her steps were steady and in rhythm.

After five months of fighting with Aadi, she has learned a lot and mastered many techniques and even her Bloodline abilities.

As Aadi looked around the bookstore, he tilted his head in confusion "Weird, why do I feel like I forgot something?"

After a moment, he shrugged his shoulders as he said "Well if I forgot then it must be something insignificant, yup definitely that."

After he turned towards Asty and directly appeared behind her and jumped on her "Asty I missed you so much."

Before Asty could react, she was already in Aadi's embrace, she tried to get out of these shackles as she said "Let me go, you stupid brainless idiot."

Aadi ignored Asty's action as he tightened his grip even more around Asty's body, he said "Your dictionary is as bad as ever Asty."

A vein popped out on Asty's forehead as she bit Aadi's hand, making him release her, she immediately jumped out and landed on the top of a bookshelf."

Asty glared at Aadi, and said "You'll pay for this humiliation, little fucker."

Since he could do nothing to Asty now, Aadi turned his focus on Aurora and said "Hey Aurora I detected a tomb a little distance away from here and it's most likely of a heaven Profound Stage, You can go and search it, it'll serve as your training ground and you'll be able to check the results of your training."

Aurora's eyes lit up at the mention of the tomb, She didn't care about any treasure but she wanted to see the fruit of her training as all she got in the last five months was constant beating, she was never able to land even a single attack on Aadi, that's why although she knew progressed, she didn't knew by how much.

"Thank you, Master," Aurora said as she felt like she should say this.

Aadi just smiled and was about to say something when his gaze landed on an empty corner of a bookshelf. He now remembered the two people who came to his bookstore and he asked Asty "Did those two buy a book? Where's the payment?"

"Yes, they did and I told them to pay later as they'll definitely come again." Asty had already come down from the bookshelf and was resting on the pillow, she answered, still closing her eyes.

Aurora just looked at them with a strange expression, even after spending months with them she still didn't understand any of them, they were so powerful but cared about some money.

Aadi thought for a moment and an idea came to his mind, he smiled a little and said "Well looks like Aurora got some company in her adventure of the tomb."

Aurora showed a confused expression at Aadi's words but a loud ring sounded in the bookstore which broke her thoughts.
