Supreme Human System

Chapter 158: Appearance of Golden Pagoda

After returning to his own cave beside a huge garden, Kritos sat down and glanced around at the extravagant decorations on the walls of the cave.

For some reason, these people built houses within a small part of a mountain. 

They call it the Cultivator Cave.

"Those mountains that I previously saw were definitely the three peaks of Agastya Clan," Kritos murmurs as he recollects the memories of this body.

After a long time passed, he looked down at the beast's skin bag. It actually wasn't very heavy, but for some reason, in Kritos's hands, it felt very heavy indeed. What truly filled the bag wasn't actually magical items, but rather, a protective treasure that the father of this body once gave him.

It contained his very life force!

Thinking about it, Kritos was amazed by how the father of this body doted on his youngest son from a young age after his first two children due to some event.

Finally, Kritos sighed. He closed his eyes and thought once again about his own father and mother, several days has already passed without seeing them for once.

"Father and Mother please be fine, I miss you!"

Time passed. Three days were gone in the blink of an eye while Kritos tried to master this abnormal summoning technique.

It seems this technique is somehow connected to the soul of a person and corresponding to it, the person can summon a devil from the depth of Abyss.

Furthermore, an individual can only use this technique once in their lifetime, and only by stepping into the Mystic Realm can one be capable of understanding it.

Suddenly, Kritos heard a loud voice from the outside.

The echoing of bell tolls could be heard throughout the entire Agastya Clan. Countless disciples, awoken from their sleep, flew out of their residences. All of them were astonished and wanted to know what was going on. What they found was that in mid-air above the Agastya Clan, pulsating, multicolored lights had suddenly appeared.

Rays of light spread out in all directions, covering the sky. The light made the three inverted mountains which hung up above to be even clearer.

As the light grew more intense, innumerable Cultivators appeared on all the peaks of the Agastya Clan. All of them were shaken inwardly. Some were old veterans of the Clan, whose expressions slowly began to change as if they had suddenly recalled something. Their eyes filled with disbelief.

The bright glow lasted for a full quarter of an hour. Then, in the very center of the glow appeared an enormous fissure. It looked like a huge mouth with no beginning or end. The instant it appeared, a shocking rumbling sound echoed out as a glowing, golden pagoda slowly emerged from within the fissure.

Each level of the pagoda had four iron chains stretching out into the air. There were a total of 10 levels, and therefore, nearly forty iron chains. Anyone who laid eyes on such a shocking scene would definitely be left astonished.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous pagoda had emerged. Rumbling echoed out in all directions and the ground quaked. The golden pagoda slowly lowered down from the sky, growing larger and larger, until it seemed to blot out the sky above. Even though it was early morning, it almost seemed like the dead of night.

Finally, the enormous pagoda descended toward a mountain, directly above the deep pit, which according to legend, housed the Great formation that protected the entire Clan for thousands of years.

It did not touch down onto the land, but rather, hovered up above. A huge shadow filled the sky above the Agastya Clan. The pagoda appeared to be above the deep pit, but that was actually only the center location. In reality if you looked at it from a distance, the pagoda seemed to be in the middle of the entire Agastya Clan.

Beneath the darkness of the pagoda was not just the deep pit, but all three peaks and the lands around them!

All of the Agastya Clan disciples were panting and staring numbly.

Shockingly, on the 1st level of the pagoda was a huge bronze door covered with carvings of countless auspicious beasts, which emanated an archaic and primordial will.

The gigantic pagoda was shocking to the extreme. Compared to its huge size, the Cultivators below were nothing more than ants. Even the three peaks looked like children in comparison.

It was at this point that three suns, each one a different color, flew out from the three peaks. As they slowly flew up into the air, the disciples in the Agastya Clan all dropped to their knees to kowtow.

Within these three suns sat three crossed-legged figures. They were the three Vice Clan heads of the Agastya Clan!

Above them was a huge sun and he was the strongest person of the Agastya Clan, Paswa, Head of the Agastya Clan.

As the three Vice leaders flew up into the sky, each one raised a hand and pointed toward the golden pagoda. Instantly, a roaring sound could be heard as the huge bronze door on the 1st level suddenly opened slightly!

Although the door only opened a crack, this pagoda was enormous. What appeared to be only a tiny sliver was actually forty meters wide!

The deep voice of the Clan's head suddenly rang out, "The Golden Pagoda has opened. In total, there are 10 levels each containing pressure larger than the previous. There is a chance on every level to acquire one of the 1000 top techniques of the Agastya Clan. After passing every five levels, there is a chance to get one of the top 100. In the higher levels, there is even a chance to acquire techniques from the top 10!"

"If you pass the 9th level you may get a technique from the top 10 techniques of the Agastya Clan and which one you would get depends on how far you can walk in the last level."

"Every time the pagoda is opened, it requires a vast consumption of Sect resources. Today, all of you will have a chance. Whichever of you has determination and strength, will be able to acquire a good fortune." The voice echoed throughout the entire Agastya Clan. As it faded away, a deathly silence spread out among the cultivators of the Agastya Clan.

It only took a moment, though, before an incredible commotion exploded out.

"The Golden Pagoda. Is that Golden Pagoda? Heavens! It's it's huge!"

Amidst the rise and fall of conversation, there was a female Cultivator who stood on with the Grand Priest, her fists clenched tightly. It was none other than Sasha, her eyes shining with determination and wild joy.

Yes, She acquired the identity of Joya!

"I never thought that there would be such good fortune this time!" she thought. "The Golden Pagoda has actually appeared in this period of time!" Her eyes glowed with stubbornness.

At this moment, Amongst the top prodigy was a direct disciple from the Third Peak Master. He was a young man who up until this moment had only spent his time cultivating secretly. However, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly stood ramrod straight. Within his eyes flickered a bright glow, and an aura that almost seemed to contain the will of a sword flickered out from his body.

This young man was none other than Lu Long. Surprisingly, he was also the son of the Clan Head of the Andhaka Clan. At the age of 15, he infiltrated their enemy clan at his father's instruction, and in just ten years, he became the direct disciple of Third Peak.

He had also received an objective for the completion of the trial. However, unlike Kritos, he has to assassinate the last remaining son of the Agastya Clan's Clan head and steal the Legacy Treasure of Agastya Clan.

Throughout the Agastya Clan, Kritos Sasha, and Lu Ling were all shaken by an unpredictable event. It didn't matter if they could train with those top techniques, but obtaining any of the ancient techniques was a huge achievement by themselves.

All of them were astonished.

***

Kritos took a deep breath and looked up toward Paswa's up in the sky. He could see the silhouette of the ancient man he had spoken with only three days before. After a moment of silent contemplation, his eyes flickered with decisiveness.

Unknowingly, his body jerked as it wanted him to participate in it.

"Whether it's for me or trial, I'm going to go absolutely all out!" Kritos mumbles to himself as he makes a decision.

A few seconds ago, the System told him that the death in this world is not the real death for him.

Hence, Kritos wants to go out to complete his objective given by the legacy tomb as well as the Mission assigned by the System.

'I'm a little bit away from completely understanding this technique. Let's first completely comprehend this summoning technique, before going out for the Golden Pagoda.' 

Kritos doesn't want to lose out the opportunity of this ancient summoning technique because of his death inside the Golden Pagoda.
