I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 709 The Things Revealed
It was truly a mystical place, being surrounded by mountains and a multitude of strange flowers.
Chen Hao recognized the place as soon as he set his sight on the island.
This was the Nameless Island.
It was where the Holy Water Ritual was being held.
I'm afraid that Grandfather and the rest have already entered this place.
Chen Hao was now quite familiar with how the Stone of Fate was supposed to be used.
First of all, it would search the depths of the user's heart; whatever was in the user's heart, or whatever things that the person dearly yearned for, they would all be automatically reflected on the screen one at a time.
As for the matters regarding Tongxin and his grandfather's Holy Water appointment, they were all starting to reveal themselves.
There was a dazzling statue of an upside-down Lady in White on Nameless Island. This only served to make Chen Hao more certain of himself this was most definitely the Nameless Island, where the Holy Water Ritual was located.
However, there was no sight of even a single person no matter how long Chen Hao waited.
Surely it couldn't be that Grandfather and the rest haven't made their way to their destination yet? Chen Hao was perplexed.
He focused his attention on the statue of the Lady in White for now.
"Ziyan, what does this stone statue have in relation with you? Or maybe I should say, why did you appear on this island?" Chen Hao took this opportunity to ask her that question.
"This island is a sealed location, not too far from the Sea Palace. As for me, I was pressed down by this statue beneath the Sea Palace!" said Ziyan as she looked at the image indifferently.
"Then what about the Holy Water Ritual? Rumor has it that this place had been active since the early days. All those who were invited possessed the cultivation levels of a Grandmaster, instead of someone like those from the Gu Family of the Mystique Clans. To be honest, I've always had this idea on my mind, that even if there is some conspiracy regarding the League of the Sun, whoever it is that they were targeting should also be akin to those from the Mystique Clans like the Gu Family since there are certainly a lot of experts there!" exclaimed Chen Hao.
Ziyan patiently explained, "Hao, the Mystique Clans are unorthodox because they used external forces in order to alter their cultivation base. They aren't the same as those who rightfully trained their inner energy like a Grandmaster, who relied solely on cultivation! By comparison, the Grandmasters are much stronger!"
"The existence of the Holy Water Ritual is actually due to the holy pond on this island. It is one of the entrances to the Border Realm!" said Ziyan.
"The entrance to the Border Realm? The pond of holy water that could originally grant immortality was actually a place where one could enter another realm?" Chen Hao nodded his head in understanding. "Doesn't that mean that those who went through the Holy Water Ritual may not have perished but were taken to another realm?" The realization suddenly dawned on Chen Hao.
"Yes! At every appointed time, the Border Realm would replenish itself by introducing new blood that was well-suited in order to maintain and expand the realm! Li Ba was one of those who were introduced!" Ziyan looked at Li Ba as she spoke.
"How did that place come to exist?" Chen Hao was even more curious now.
"I've told you before, this Border Realm is not some separate dimension. Similarly, it belongs to the Earth, and the people of the Border Realm are also humans. If you wanted to talk about the differences between the two, then you could also say that the Border Realm is the world within the earth, and here, is the world on the outside of the earth! Some tens of millions of years ago, many devastating catastrophes had occurred within the heavens and the earth. These catastrophes that occurred one after another had ended one era after another-the Cultivation Civilization was just one of the many. After the Cultivation Civilization had undergone a few more catastrophes, the genuinely rare treasures and essence of the civilization had died out completely. In that era, also known as the final stages of the ancient civilization, the people back then managed to discover the land underneath the Earth solely due to their strong will to survive. That land underneath the earth was also known as the Border Realm!" Ziyan continued, "They have been separated from the rest of the world since then. It was rumored that no more humans were seen on the Earth after that, because the Earth was inhabited by the strange beasts from the Cultivation Civilization. But in the end, even those strange beasts were unable to survive the heavenly tribulations. Of course, countless years later, when humanity finally resurfaced and exchanged some favors with the Border Realm, the realm specially supported a select few cultivators. Although they did not have the Foundation in their bodies, they were also able to attain a certain degree of cultivation!" Ziyan was very detailed in her explanation.
Chen Hao nodded his head. "Could the Mystique Clans possibly be traced back to this?"
Ziyan nodded her head with a smile. "Yes, correct! Actually, the Nine Doors is a chess piece that the King of Nine Doors had laid down since a very long time ago in order to prepare for your appearance!" Chen Hao was deeply lost in his thoughts.
"Ah!" Li Mumu, Su Ruoxi and the other girls who were quietly watching the scenes on the other side suddenly let out a yell.
"Hao, look!"
Even Uncle appeared to be strangely tense as he gestured for Chen Hao to look at the unfolding scenario on the Nameless Island. Traces of people had appeared on the Nameless Island.
Of course, this was not why they cried out; the real reason for their shout was because the people who appeared on Nameless Island were not living people but were a crowd of corpses who had all died tragic deaths!
They were the Grandmasters from various lands that they were looking for when they first set out on this journey.
About a hundred of them formed a group of the dead; it was an extremely tragic sight to look at.
Chen Hao's eyelids were twitching madly.
Grandfather! He was really shaken because Grandfather was one of the people in this group.
Chen Hao observed carefully and noticed Mo Canglong's body amidst the crowd. Based on his appearance, he seemed to have been struck in his chest by a palm, leaving a gaping hole behind. Bizarrely, that mirror of his had actually appeared by his side once more.
Chen Hao had already entrusted this magical artifact to Grandfather, so how on earth could it have fallen back into Mo Canglong's hands?
However, the thing that really caught Chen Hao's attention was the fact that Mo Canglong's magical artifact was broken into pieces. "They've all died!"
Uncle nimbly leapt up onto the platform; one could easily see that his current expression was extremely uneasy.
Without waiting for Chen Hao to finish his detailed scanning, the picture morphed once again.
This time, it depicted the Palace in the Sands; this was the place where God was buried.
Chen Hao was fairly familiar with this location as he had been here before.
Is the Stone of Fate trying to imply something?
It had gotten exceedingly quiet and a strange sensation grew from the silence.
What is it trying to tell me? I've already sealed off this place.
The scene did not stay on the screen for long this time, for it was quickly replaced by another picture.
"The Chen Family!" Without waiting for Chen Hao to speak, Uncle's eyes twitched as he exclaimed.
"Huh? Uncle, you know where our family's residence is located?"
"Yeah!" Uncle simply nodded his head and didn't say much about it.
However, his gaze slowly went out of focus, seeming to be in deep thought.
Chen Hao looked toward the Chen Family's residence. Right now, he could feel that same strange sensation that the tomb had previously brought him-it was also eerily silent.
Similarly, the usually lively Chen residence was devoid of all signs of life.
Soon, this image also disappeared. It was instead replaced by the infinitely vast starry skies. At its deepest point, Chen Hao could see that super huge spaceship of the League of the Sun slowly moving into his line of sight once more.
Much like a ghost, it wandered aimlessly in the universe...
