The Last Primal

Looking around the Ancient Burial Ground that resembled more of a deserted city ruins than that of a spiritual site to honor the heroes of the olden eras, as well as to pay your respects to one's ancestors, the largest structure was a large ziggurat not too far from the group's current location.

The large ziggurat was covered with dust and moss at its sizes, but besides that, the structure seemed mostly intact and without any obvious wear and tear of the dredges of time. Surprisingly it seemed to withstood all that corrosion throughout those countless years and possibly, several centuries even.

After a short rest the group made their way towards the largest building and in no time, they stood right before it, its beauty especially striking in the ruins with its majesty and height of over a hundred feet.

Surprisingly, even from afar, everyone could still smell a faint medicinal fragrance, making the group of cultivators go beyond excited in a second!

Every single treasure in this ziggurat seemed to be exactly the list of items that the Azure Myst Sect desperately needed!

If the olden' ancient recipes like the Mortal Breakthrough Elixir was preserved, it could only be in a single place the largest, most precious hall of them all, the one that was right before them!

With excitement shining in the many disciples' eyes they were speeding towards the large ziggurat, everyone arrived at its entrance before long.

Tai Liu raised her brow slightly as she gazed at the palace before her. It was shrouded with a mysterious light that contained faint blurry glowing, glimmering words; a seal was still existent!

Reaching out, Tai Liu touched the door of the hall gently.

The moment her palm reached the surface, it was repelled by the power of the seal.

She was not allowed to enter!

This was a little tricky. Frowning, she started thinking of a strategy.

A disciple came forth and said.

"[Reptilian] Young Master, can't we join forces to dispel the seal on the surface of this hall?"

"[Reptilian] This seal has existed for countless years without being destroyed. How could it be dispelled so easily?"

Pondering for a moment, the elderly uncle guardian said slowly.

"[Reptilian] Legend has it that there was the Golden Refinement Hall once in the Ancient Burial Ground's place which was the most important inheritance ground. Other than the god's selected champions, our world's heroes, nobody can enter easily! By the looks of it, that legend should be true."

"But that was back in the ancient era. Since then countless years have passed and the gods have long since left us. How could there be any heroes be left or born in this world?"

A disciple shook his head growing anxious at the story.

Right then, Madam Dara walked out slowly from the crowd with dazed expression, as if she was lost in thought, and walked slowly towards the glowing seal before the building.

Her chest shone with a mysterious brilliance.

As she approached the hall, the brilliance intensified and turned dazzling, almost enveloping Madam Dara's figure entirely!

"[Reptilian] This is…" The group of disciples were dumbfounded at this. What was going on?

Sensing something through their connection, Aiden did not speak a word, nor did he try to stop her closest aide's advance and instead stood at the side watching the scene with a gentle smile on his face.

Back in Ugburg City, he had already noticed that she was acting somewhat strange, restless. As if she was feeling something, some call from deeper inside her soul from time to time. After entering the Fog Infested Valley, his conjecture was further verified.

Upon arriving here, Aiden could completely confirm that she had a strange, unknown connection to this Ancient Burial Ground ruins!

Though he could sense some of his race, the Primal's traces in the ruins, Aiden still wasn't sure if this place was really one of the hidden sites left behind by his father.

For one, though he could sense the vague traces of [Soul Power] in the air, it was so thin, so weak that besides making the group of Draconic Skinks slightly nauseous, it did not cause any other ill effect on them. Completely different from how it was back in the Tower back at the Orc Camp.

Second, the system did not give him any alerts, nor did any popup for a new quest or an update come up until now.

If anything, it might have been that the ancient people of this world were perhaps somewhat similar to his people, either by terms of strength, power or bloodline… Or there could be several other possibilities besides the supposedly peaceful Primals secretly being a race dominating an entire other world in the ancient times.

Right in front of everyone, Madam Dara slowly walked towards the hall step by step, reaching out with her jade-like hand to touch the seal of the hall gently.

To everyone's surprise, she was not repelled by the seal!

On the contrary, the mysterious emblems that revolved on the surface gathered towards Madam Dara continuously, as if they were attracted by something.

Noticing that, it was the elderly uncle that realized what was going on first.action

"[Reptilian] T-this! The inheritance! She is being baptized and is receiving the Inheritance of this place!" The old man exclaimed with a shocked face.

All the Azure Myst Sect disciples present let out envious expressions when they heard that.

In the world, elixirs and treasures were not the most precious things one could stumble upon and find. The true opportunities came from obtaining the inheritance of ancient mighty figures and sects from the old times!

In truth, the Metal Tree Groove was one such place as well.

In certain top sects and clans, the true secret skills were not preserved in the form of cloth, stone slips or manuals, just in case they were leaked to outsiders.

There was a possibility that the Golden Refinement Hall before them contained many elixir recipes of the ancient era.

However, the true secrets of Ancient Burial Ground must definitely be within that Mysterious Inheritance before them!

In other words, Madam Dara, one of Aiden's captains, was the only one that obtained the true secrets of Ancient Burial Ground!

"[Reptilian] Why is it her?" Someone could not help but ask.

Tai Liu replied, "Miss Dara must be related to the people of this place. Maybe she has traces of their blood and bloodline in her body. The Golden Refinement Hall Master that this place belonged to must have been an old hero of this world selected by the Gods themselves!"

Stroking his long beard, the elderly uncle said with great gratification.

"[Reptilian] There's a chance for our sect to restore the former glory of the Azure Myst Sect after this girl obtains its inheritance and joins our sect!"

Hearing this, instead of being offended, Aiden felt truly relieved as well.

Initially, the reason why these people took in his people and protected them was only because they wanted to rope him in for his strength.

They had no intention of taking in any of their members as one of their own. They were merely guests and acquaintances. He was worried that once their deal was completed, they would no longer protect his people, nor could he rope them in and gain their loyalty later on.

But now, that worry was completely unfounded.

After obtaining Ancient Burial Ground's inheritance, if Madam Dara were to cultivate diligently after joining Azure Myst Sect coupled with the help of the mysterious Inheritance's knowledge and techniques, she would definitely turn out to be a top-tier powerful martial artist with unlimited potential in the future!

Tai Liu came to Aiden's side and whispered.

"[Reptilian] Don't worry Aiden, after returning to the sect, I'll definitely take Miss Dara to the sect master along with the elderly uncle to report about this matter. Our sect master is a peak Martial Grandmaster, with high standards. Even until now, she has only accepted one personal disciple."

"[Reptilian] I'm completely sure she will definitely take a liking to Miss Dara and take her under her wing."

Aiden nodded at this. A peak Martial Grandmaster!

Although it was still within the mortal realm, a peak Martial Grandmaster had boundless experience to share! She could only benefit from such a connection. Even more by gaining these people's loyalty, they would only strengthen Haven, his world's power further and allow the rest of the Lizardmen already present there to grow stronger as well.

Aiden could even grant them a separate, new city, a Temple City for their kind so that they could finally return to their long lost roots!

The sound of clothes tearing through the air sounded behind them. More and more disciples had broken through the blockade of the pure-blooded ferocious beast guardians and were speeding towards the Ancient Burial Ground ruins.

"[Reptilian] Everyone, stand in formation and protect Dara!" Tai Liu ordered decisively. She did not hesitate even a second as she gave the firm command this time around.
