Through Daoist Stone Gatherer's explanation, He Pingsheng gained a preliminary understanding of his task.
Simply put, a divine tomb had been discovered on Emperor Yu Star.
More precisely, it should have been a great tomb belonging to the Devil Race from ancient times.
There had been plenty of good things inside the tomb, but the Golden Immortals on Emperor Yu Star had plundered them all.
Yet when they reached the core at the very center of the tomb, they could not enter.
That was because a special, high-level immortal formation guarded the tomb's core, barring entry to Immortals whose cultivation exceeded the Earth Immortal Stage.
Although Immortals below the Earth Immortal Stage could enter, danger lurked everywhere inside. Those Human Immortal Stage disciples would essentially die as soon as they entered, unable to last even a few breaths.
Thus, only Earth Immortal Stage cultivators could go in.
After a series of maneuvers, the five great Golden Immortals on Emperor Yu Star agreed to each find an Earth Immortal Stage disciple and send them inside together to search for treasures.
Whoever obtained the treasures inside would own them.
But there was one special requirement: only the disciples' own cultivation would count. The Earth Immortals were not allowed to draw on external assistance, such as immortal talismans, immortal artifacts, and so on.
That would affect the fairness of the contest.
Indeed, this struggle could be considered a contest.
The five great Golden Immortals of Emperor Yu Star were divided into three camps.
Two Golden Immortals represented the Star Emperor's forces, two others formed another alliance, and the last, a Golden Immortal named Immortal Maiden Coral, stood alone.
Considering that the others might form alliances against her later, Immortal Maiden Coral had invited her friend Stone Gatherer to come and lend a hand.
