Supreme Human System

Sasha remains silent for a second before she weirdly gazes at Kritos.

She doesn't understand what exactly Kritos wanted her to do.

Before she could say something, Kritos chuckled," Forget it, I just want to find someone precious before breaking out from this illusory world..." Kritos giggled and then continued," I found that Lu Long may have obtained the identity of a direct discipline of the third peak master."

"Third peak! Do you know his name?"

"I think the people around here call him Kimaada," Kritos solemnly said.

"Kimaada…" Sasha remains silent for a moment as if she was thinking something.

After a couple of seconds, Sasha asked," How did you find out that Lu Long has possessed Kimaada?"

Kritos suddenly laughed bitterly as he didn't have any decent justification nor he could tell her about the blue orb.

"Maybe I have good eyes!" Kritos said with a dry cough.

Sasha frowned, then gave Kritos a look.

Kritos awkwardly blinked and moved his head in another direction.

"Forget about it, In return for giving me the crucial information. You can travel with me to the second plane and after that, we will plan how to kill Lu Long. How about it?" She leaned forward and said in a low voice.

"Second Plane?" said Kritos, his eyes glinting sharply.

Sasha gave a cool laugh, apparently not fazed at all by the question. Her expression the same as ever, she replied, "You don't know about it? It is a place where all the top disciplines travel to strengthen their elemental power. I thought it might be beneficial for us."

Having heard this, Kritos remembered there was such a place in Prasu's memories. However, due to his personality, he never went there.

Kritos thought for a moment. "Not many upsides for me," he said.

"Ok, then We'll meet back here in three days to go to the Second plane."

Having said that, Sasha immediately flees from the forest.

Kritos returned to the mountain. He stood outside his cave and looked up at the darkening sky. The evening was falling, and the sun was setting. Within his mind, Kritos saw the images of everything that had actually happened long ago.

"What will happen if I directly change the course of the path? Is it equal to changing destiny?"

Kritos glanced up again at the evening sky for a moment, then closed his eyes again.

"Maybe not, it is just an illusory world."

However, Kritos has a feeling that something will change if he just directly kills Kimaada or he reveals to everyone that he is a mole of the enemy clan.

For this trial, he might be a variable who knows everything that would be going to happen.

Quite a few days have already passed since the beginning of the Trails in the Legacy tomb and many things have happened in those days.

"Let's take a rest today."

**

Three days later, it was the appointed time to meet Sasha. Kritos left the cave and traveled with her toward the Second plane!

Inside the Second Plane was a vast, hazy forbidden zone. Disciples without the proper authorization were not permitted to step even half a pace inside. In fact, few people actually knew what lay inside the haziness.

After entering it, nothing would be visible. One could only use a command medallion to find one's way through the mists to the destination.

Sasha and Kritos had such a command medallion as they have high status in the clan.

When the two of them reached the indistinctness, they caught sight of two enormous stone statues that looked like Demons. They had eight arms and four heads and were fully three hundred meters tall. They glared out fiercely in all directions.

Each of the two statues held a gigantic stone greatsword in hand. They were criss-crossed, stabbed down into the earth to form a door of swords.

The enormous door didn't seem to offer any hindrance to any who wished to pass through it. However, if anyone attempted to do so without the proper qualifications, they would be instantly killed.

Both of them looked up silently at the statues for a long moment before walking forward. As both of them near the door of swords, the sword belonging to the right-hand statue suddenly began to rumble.

A blinding light shot out from the eyes of the statue as it looked down at them, its gaze filled with seeming intelligence.

After only a glance, it seemed to be able to examine both of them inside and out. It slowly lifted up the stone sword to reveal a path.

"Elder's qualifications. You may go anywhere you wish, and stay inside indefinitely."

Elder's qualification was something only top discipline could achieve. As they have enough power to reveal the low rank elders.

Afterward, they strolled up to a few meters through the door of swords, before Kritos glanced at her. 

"You lead the way," he said. "I don't have much prior knowledge of this place. I'll follow you."

She happily nodded her head and walked forward.

Kritos followed, watching Sasha's lithe figure as she made her way through the mist. There was something strange and beautiful to the scene.

As the two of them hurried forward, the mists parted ways for them, revealing a twisting path. Sasha took the lead position and Kritos followed. They proceeded onward for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Eventually, the mists once again began to spread out, revealing an area roughly three thousand meters wide.

A mountain was visible, although it wasn't very tall.

A waterfall fell down the side of the mountain into a pool of undulating water. Upon first laying eyes on the scene, there was no sound whatsoever. However, moments later, Kritos could hear the sound of rippling water.

The water poured into the pond, the sounds of birds drifted about, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Everything was overwhelming to the senses; there even seemed to be an aura of Immortal Spirits in the air, fragrant and sweet. Kritos took a deep breath, and all the Qi and blood in his body surged.

"So this is the Second Plane?" he asked. He glanced around, his gaze eventually coming to rest on the waters themselves. They were clear, making it possible to see all the way to the bottom. A faint, strange kind of mist rose up from the surface, making the entire scene look like a multicolored illusion.
