Strange Pathway

Everyone was momentarily stunned as they realized that the tomb gate had finally begun to stir. Though the scene was unexpected, they quickly snapped out of their dazed states. After all, they had been anticipating this moment all along.

This was the very reason they had come—to raid the tomb!

The gate should have reacted long ago, but it had likely been delayed by the sudden outbreak of the dark misty creatures.

Now that the threat had been cleared, the gate had finally begun its grand opening, responding to what was undoubtedly a mechanism left behind by the one buried within.

CREAK!

A deep, ominous sound echoed across the surroundings as the ancient structure groaned against the weight of time.

"Fellow cultivators, make sure to remain in peak condition. Now that the gate has opened, it is almost certain that great dangers lie ahead. It would be a shame to drag others down due to your own weakness."
