After reaching the village, Laelia explained, “Thousands of years ago, my family’s forbearers lived in this village.”James nodded lightly and said, “Mhm. The island appears ordinary at first glance, but there were many unusual things along the way. It’s evidently a place left behind by a very powerful person. However, did he really leave behind his legacy here?”Laelia shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about that. According to my family’s oral tradition, he left behind an inheritance for the younger generations of our family to attract them to the island. We’re allowed to search the island to see if we can find the boons he left us as adults. However, none of our family members have found it even after allt his time.”“Is that so?”James questioned her, “This is your family’s ancestral land. Your family’s forebearers have lived on this island and should know where to look for the boons, right?.”Laelia nodded slightly and said, “My family’s ancestral land is rather ordinary
The person of the highest seniority in the Targwyn family was Sylvester.He was the only person who could possibly answer whether the jade pendant had something to do with the seal.Sylvester shook his head and said, “I’m not sure either. Our history has been fragmented. I only know that our family’s jade pendant is one-of-a-kind and that a huge secret must be hidden within it.”Even Sylvester did not know about the jade pendant’s secret.“Alright.”Laelia was disappointed but did not press him for further answers. She changed the subject, saying, “Sir Sylvester, let’s bring James to the grotto first.”“Yuliana, bring them there,”Sylvester instructed the girl beside him.She was relatively young, about 17 to 18 years old. She was dressed very simply and wore a blue dress. Although she seemed like a peasant, she was lovely.“Yes, Grandpa.”Yuliana looked at Laelia and James, saying, “This way, please.”She led both of them toward the back of the village.Behind the village
With guidance from the two women, he might be able to obtain some kind of boon in the grotto.He looked at Laelia and asked, “How about we split up?”Since they were in the Targwyns’ ancestral land, he did not want to stick with Laelia. If he were to find the legacy within the grotto, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of her family. Although he was not afraid of conflict, he wanted to avoid it as much as possible.“Sure.” Laelia nodded gently.Afterward, James walked toward one of the passages.Laelia walked in the opposite direction.James found many passages as he walked deeper into the grotto. He was unsure of where he should go.“Nova. Nova…!”After separating from Laelia, he called out the Celestial Abode’s Spirit Tool.Soon, a voice responded in his mind, “Yes, Master?”James said, “I’ve arrived at the Targwyns’ ancestral land. It’s a very enchanting place. I learned that this place was left behind by a powerful ancestor of theirs. Do you know if there are any b
Sophie explained that she could not directly help James kill his enemies. Since she held a significant rank, her every action would have great consequences.Everything she did would result in a chain reaction. The Karma brought about by these consequences would be considerable, she would be able to bear the burden of some of it but not all.James was very interested in the topic.However, Sophie refused to explain further. She simply said he was still lacking in many aspects, and as such, he did not need to know about it yet.James had no choice but to give up for the time being.He looked at Sophie, dressed in white, and asked curiously, “Ms. Sophie, what is your current rank? How strong are you?”Sophie responded with a smile but did not answer James’ question.“What do you mean?” James frowned.Sophie replied, “I’ve told you many times. There’s no need for you to understand these things right now. When your strength improves, you’ll naturally understand everything.”After s
James followed behind her.The stone house’s interior was spacious and bright.Inside the house, there was a very extraordinary formation. James could not understand it but saw countless mysterious symbols gathered together to form a strange pattern.Within the center of the strange formation was an egg.The egg was large, with a one-meter diameter. The eggshell was purple, and some mysterious purple characters slithered around the eggshell.As soon as he got close to the stone house, James sensed a powerful force. When he saw the egg, he felt he had come across a huge monster. At that moment, he felt quite insignificant.James asked curiously, “W-What’s this?” Sophie stared at it for a long time. Her expression gradually became solemn, and she took a deep breath. “Haah!”“What’s wrong?” asked James.Sophie collected herself and said, “I really didn’t expect to find such an ineffable within this grotto.”“Ineffable?”After a brief shock, James asked, “Ms. Sophie, don’t beat
James’ blood melted into the eggshell and was absorbed into it, disappearing without a trace.At that moment, a powerful force came from inside the eggshell and rapidly absorbed James’ blood. James had lost too much blood in such a short period , his face went pale.He showed signs of passing out and wanted to withdraw his hand.However, the force coming from the eggshell was powerful, and he could not retract his hand.Gradually, he started to feel dizzy.Just when James was about to pass out, the force disappeared, and he fell headfirst to the ground. He did not even have the strength to get back up.He mobilized his True Energy.His True Energy circulated in his body, and he activated the regeneration ability in his blood.James struggled to get up, then sat in the lotus position on the ground as he stared at the eggshell.Right in front of his eyes, the egg began to shine with a dazzling purple light.Crack!While in a daze, James heard the sound of the egg beginning to
Seeing James come out, she walked over and asked, “How did it go, James? Did you have any luck?”James shook his head slightly and said, “Nope. I wandered around the grotto for a long time but felt like I was getting disorientated by the paths, so I didn’t dare to venture any deeper. In the end, I turned back.”“It’s alright.”Laelia smiled and consoled him, “Since ancient times, many of my family members have come to the grotto, but none of them found their trip fruitful. Since we didn’t find anything, let’s head back.”James nodded. “Alright.”He did not say anything about the Gorger because he did not want to cause a fuss.With Yuliana leading the way, James and Laelia left the grotto. Soon, they returned to the village.Sylvester waited in the village this whole time.Seeing them return, he walked over and asked with a gentle smile, “How did it go? Did you two find anything?”Laelia gently shook her head and sighed, saying, “We were unsuccessful.”Sylvester said with a sm
There was now a crack in the seal to the Three Thousand Worlds. Those who were relatively weaker could easily pass through the seal to Earth.The seal was powerful, and stronger people could not easily travel through to Earth for the time being. Even if they were to be able to pass through, they would have to pay a heavy price for doing so.Laelia’s strength was mediocre, as such she would easily have been able to pass through the seal.However, Earth was currently in a chaotic state, and she would not be able to compete for the treasures. Thus, she might as well stay in the Land of Tabal.The two returned on the same path.A few days later, they arrived back at Tabalham.Upon their arrival, the Targwyns bombarded James with questions. However, his answer remained unchanged. He told them he obtained nothing.The Targwyns were not surprised that James’ trip to the island was fruitless. So many of their family members had gone to the ancestral land in the past, but all were to no
