Sam is making preparations for his visit to the Beast faction. While Jack and Philip are cultivating.

On the third day after his return from the Resource compet.i.tion. He got an invite from the temple-head.

"There is a reward for winning first place in the resource compet.i.tion and you played a huge part in the victory. You get to visit the "Resting Place" and you will get to stay for a week. You have to be careful though as the Nascent stage cultivators will be joining after three days.

You are the number one target of the Beast faction and you would have a hard time saving yourself from them.

You will get the information regarding the Resting Place to your residence and you will be leaving in four days, so be prepared."

Sam didn"t get to speak at all, and he came back. Soon, an attendant brought a scroll that has the records he needed to see.

The Resting Place is basically an ancient battlefield hundreds of years ago and it was the place near the central continent, an island which is one of the most dangerous locations of the whole Planet.

It is dangerous not because of the presence of beasts, it is only one of the reasons, rather the main reason is because of the cultivators, that is the place with no rules at all and everyone can do what they want.

The place is filled with the remains of the people. Centuries ago, there was a large battle between the six major powers, and many experts lost their lives there. The battle stopped only after every power lost many people and powerhouses and reached their weakest points.

After that, every time a high-level cultivator of Pre-transcendence or above reached the final days, either due to their own life span or some internal injuries and ailments, they will enter this land to leave their legacy.

There is no information on why they are going to a forsaken battlefield to leave their legacy instead of giving it to some juniors within their own power.

Anyone with some common sense could understand that there is no valid reason stated in the information given. There is a reason why dying people are going there.

And it is also obvious that the reason was not mentioned in the given info.

But one thing that was mentioned is, there are a lot of legacies in that land and those legacies attract all kinds of people which made it the dangerous place it is today.

There are many stray cultivators, teams from the minor powers, and the major powers who roam around with no rules to restrain them as they search for treasures.

But every time the resource compet.i.tion happens, the elite teams of the major powers step in and there would be strict regulations on the land restricting the normal cultivators to enter or stay in that area. When the Grand realm candidates of the major powers enter the Nascent stage and above candidates are not allowed to stay.

When the Nascent stage cultivators entered though, there are not many restrictions because the Pre-transcendent and Transcendent stage cultivators generally don"t come to this place that often and they wouldn"t bother scavenging for the legacies even if they come.

As for how the candidates are going to enter.

There is a pattern in sending the teams.

First, the Grand realm cultivators would go and the winning team gets to take all the ten members including the reserve team, and stay inside the Resting Place for a week. The second-placed team will stay a week as well, but they will only get to take five members. The remaining teams couldn"t send anyone.

As for the great realm cultivators, they are too weak to get to this place.

After the first week is over, the Nascent stage cultivators will enter, while the Grand realm cultivators will have to leave, they do have an option to stay there, but it was at their own risk. They would be considered as stray cultivators and wouldn"t get the safety they will get in the first week.

As Sam looked at the information, his head is working in full-on.

He already made some plans to deal with the Beast faction, but there are some things which he couldn"t do as he doesn"t have any idea on how the internal things in the beast faction work and there is no data regarding the characters of the core members, maybe he can use this chance through which he can contact the Nascent stage cultivators.

As he was thinking, he immediately went inside the divine dimension and started working on it.

For the next four days, Sam spent his time forging somethings that he might need in the expedition.

He worked day and night for forty days inside the second floor of the tower.

After four days, they went to the s.p.a.ce Gate. They arrived at another location in which the six major powers have control within the central continent.

This place is the closest to Resting Place Island.

In fact, the island is the centermost landma.s.s of the whole planet.

They boarded some beasts as a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator escorted them to the island and they are going to keep an eye on the Grand realm candidates.

The killings are allowed within the resting place even between the candidates, but there should be no interference from the people of higher cultivation, even though they had strict regulations, there is no way they can completely stop them from entering and there is no way they can regulate the beasts in the island.

So, they have to make sure that the candidates stay safe. But according to the rules, there is only a week of this protection time and after that, they are responsible for their own lives.

When Sam and the rest of the candidates entered the place, all they could see is chaos created by the war. The chaos is not just from the war centuries ago, after all, time beats everything. The chaos of that war was erased.

The chaos they saw is from the aftermath of that war which is still going on for centuries. It is caused by the regular battles which occur for the sake of treasures and legacies. They could see the destroyed vegetation and the chaotic mess of cliffs, rocks, and even the seash.o.r.e was full of carca.s.ses of both beasts and human beings.

"You have one week, search as much as you want and if you can get any treasures or techniques, they are yours. After one week, you can still stay here, but if you encounter any danger, I am not responsible. Even now, if you die in the hands of someone with the same strength, don"t expect me to save you guys.

Your mounts will stay here and you can go back to the s.p.a.ce gate, whenever you want."

All the candidates moved away in search of some fortune.

Sam"s first destination is a large mountain in the centre of the island.

After nearing the mountain, he could see more traces of battle, many places in the mountain are completely damaged and there are many dead bodies surrounding it.

The runner up team didn"t even bother to get near Sam and his friends.

After Sam looked at the mountain, he found a spot to explore and made a camp near it. Philip and Jack decided to check other areas, but they camped together, just to be safe at night.

For the next week, Sam continuously explored the spot he decided up on.

On the sixth day night, he came back to the camp and said to Philip and Jack.

"I think I found something near the foot of the mountain in the north western side. There is a small hole which is connected to a tunnel path which leads under the mountain. There seemed to be something related to the beast cultivation, you guys want to take a look?"

Sam asked both of them. Philip and Jack are not exactly interested in this, as they do not cultivate beast cultivation, but they decided to tag along as the next day is the last one.

The next morning, when they reached the place, they could see a small hole has been uncovered and Sam started enlarging it.

As they enlarged the hole bit by bit, they started encountering some traps. There are many formations and inscriptions in which hindered their progress.

Only by evening, did they encounter the tunnel and they are almost exhausted.

Their progress got slower and they slowly started exploring the tunnel.

As they moved forward, they got more and more careful as the traps increased. Sam"s expertise in the formations helped him a lot as he deactivated the traps as soon as they encountered one.

But it is still time consuming.

By the time, they entered the other end of the tunnel, it was already morning.

There are some illuminating devices which are mounted on the walls. Sam looked around and activated a formation by moving a lever and the whole room was illuminated.

They were amazed by what they saw. There are large stone sculptures of the beasts all around the room.

The statues are numerous and there are too many, probably in hundreds. There is a foot- long metallic cylindrical container with a diameter of around three inches placed in front of each statue.

Sam and the other two walked towards the stage and looked at a statue of a human. His face was obscure and couldn"t be seen clearly. As soon as they stepped on the stage, a light came out of the statue as a human silhouette came out of it.

"Greetings. You have entered the legacy of the beast faction. I don"t know who you are, but this place contains the techniques suitable for a Beast cultivator and each statue here represents a technique related to that type of beast.

Since you found this place, you are destined to attain this fortune, I hope you will make good use of it.

As for how to obtain them.

Every cylindrical object placed in front of the statue holds an extremely high-level technique, which can be a lifesaver and is most suitable for people who are at the Nascent stage and above.

All you have to do is, take the cylindrical container and undergo a test of patience. You have to feed your spiritual energy to the container and wait until it opens. You have to feed the container continuously and the steps for cultivating the technique will be revealed in stages with the progress.

It will take a few months to completely unlock the technique, the test of patience is to see whether you can cultivate the technique or not as it would require a lot of time to cultivate it.

The longer it takes for you to unlock the technique, the higher the quality of the technique is.

I hope you succeed and spread the techniques and won"t let them die in this place."

The silhouette disappeared after the speech and the stone statue of the human crumbled.
