Chapter 874: World, Space |
Saint Pool was the Posthumous people’s holy area. It was where their geniuses were bathed and where elites were nurtured.
This was similar to Jersuelum or Macca and had a spiritual significance. The Saint Pool was even more revered here.
Just look at the supernatural statuses that the protector had, and you will know what the Saint Pool meant.
The situation created legends about the Saint Pool; the protector’s position amongst the Posthumous people was high, too.
Moreover, these things were more mysterious in martial technique societies than on earth. The protector was passed down for generations; only they knew many things. Even the kings and their tribes had no idea.
One of the secrets that the protectors spread down that could decide the prosperity of their people was… The life under the pool!
As such, things were spread by mouth, so descriptions of this matter would differ between generations, as what people spread might include their own thoughts and guesses. When it reached this generation, the lifeform under the pool was someone they couldn’t offend. This lifeform was the reason why the Saint Pool didn’t dry up.
Usually, the protector wouldn’t even touch the door that heads down to beneath the pool. He couldn't keep calm now that Ye Zhongming said the secret that only he knew about.
The body of this level eight expert started to tremble, and his thoughts became a mess.
There was someone beneath the pool? Why didn’t they know? He called Ye Zhongming to meet him. Why didn’t he meet them?
Many questions meant that the few kings couldn’t keep calm either. Thoughts about treasures and legacies appeared in their minds. Did Ye Zhongming get a treasure map? He came here for the treasure and would leave after? He would end up leaving with the Posthumous people’s treasure?
Even Hong Xiang didn’t know about this, much less the other kings.
“You, how…”
“The old man doesn’t know where I am from, right?”
Ye Zhongming gave a simple description of his background, and he hid what he should hide. This caused the protector’s expression to change.
“So the saint pool is your way out?”
The protector calmed down, frowned, and tried to confirm.
Flame Dove and he were the same, and they were one step from level nine. What they lacked was an opportunity. Since Flame Dove could sense energy that didn’t belong to this space, the protector could too. So when Ye Zhongming said it, he knew that the kid wasn’t lying.
The expressions of the few kings recovered. Saint Pool was the way out for him. The person under the saint pool also sent him a message when he left.
“Let’s take a look.”
Ye Zhongming knew what they were thinking, so he gave suggestions to remove the qualms and worries that they had.
Of course, another reason was that Ye Zhongming didn’t know if the guy tied to the pillar had any bad intentions toward him. Pulling the few Posthumous people experts over could help split the risk and ensure his own safety.
The protector looked at their expressions and knew that they wanted to take a look. He wanted to take a look too. After all, it was a place he had never been to before. He didn’t want to give up on the chance to solve a mystery that had worried him for dozens of years.
They came to a consensus and arrived before the saint pool. The four kings, the protector, and Ye Zhongming didn’t bring any subordinates. Under the guidance of the protector, they turned a corner and came to a door.
The protector glanced at them before taking a deep breath and pushing the door open.
There was a narrow tunnel that could only fit one person at a time.
The few of them moved forward and walked for a long time before finally arriving at another door. The four of them placed their torches beside the door. The protector who was at the front trembled as he pushed the unlocked door open.
Light shot out from within.
“You are here.”
A greeting caused the six of them to shake in unison.
It wasn’t simple words but mental communication! He even communicated with all six of them at once!
With Ye Zhongming’s mental energy, he couldn’t communicate with one lifeform so clearly. He could, at most, make that person notice him. Much less communicate with six people.
From this point alone, one could tell how strong that person’s mental energy was.
Shock appeared on their faces, and they hesitated.
Many times, the strength of one’s mental energy represents one's own ability. A person could have such high mental energy, but his level…
Wouldn’t he be stronger than the level eight Ling Kun, Hong Xiang, and protector?
Was he level nine?
Ye Zhongming wasn’t as frightened as the kings and the protector. He observed the surrounding environment; it was the same as when his soul wandered here. But the fountain that shot out saint water didn’t erupt. It was silent, and the white saint water was calm and without any ripples.
This was the best healing medicine. Ye Zhongming wanted to gulp.
Apart from that, that stone pillar stood out. Of course, the person tied to it attracted the most attention.
Ye Zhongming’s eyes not only landed on the chains that pierced this weird person with three arms and legs. If this weird person was a level nine evolved, then what could trap him for so many years? Was it because the material was amazing, or was it for other reasons?
“What is your world like?”
The message spread again, but Ye Zhongming didn’t see a change in the expression of the others. That message should be for him.
My world? Ye Zhongming didn’t know how to start.
The person saw his reaction; he didn’t blame him and said, “I will show you my world.”
After he said that, an energy surged into Ye Zhongming’s mind. Numerous scenes appeared in front of him.
There was endless red plain, purple petals in the sky, and bright-colored rain dripping down.
There were surging oceans, starry skies, and four moons. There were mountains, lakes, swamps, and ice plains.
There were giant cities made of metal, ships flying about in the sky, and armies holding weapons.
There were also numerous weird lifeforms living where there weren’t any humans.
That place was big, with many continents, but the oceans were small. However, as compared to Earth, it was still dozens of times bigger.
There were bridges on the oceans. They were long and exquisite, which impressed Ye Zhongming.
Many miraculous infrastructures and natural sights also gave off a different beauty from earth.
This was another place with life.
