Chapter 974 The Golden Lands
?In the Sky Heart Plains, there are three mystery plains: Berserker Beast Plain, Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain, and Devil Mountains Plain.
These three plains were called mystery plains because, first, their environments or laws were completely different from the Sky Heart Plains, and cultivators experienced strange restrictions on them.
Second, no one has ever been able to discover their inner mysteries, for anyone who went deep into these plains never came back. Even the Mortal Sky Heart Empire was no exception.
In the entire Sky Heart Plains these three places were the only place which wasn't under the authority of the Mortal Sky Heart Empire. As for their names, no one knows who named them, but they exist as long as the Sky Heart Plains. That was one of the unsolved mysteries of the mystery plains. free(w)ebnov(e)l
However, what no one knows is within the Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain, there exists a holy land for cultivators, which was under the control of the Imperial Family for ages, the Golden Lands!
According to the imperial family records, this place was discovered by one of their ancestors, and he discovered many things here, which was also the foundation of the imperial family's power.
No one knows this secret, and the imperial family didn't even need to protect it because no one dared to explore the mystery plains. Even they can only move in the golden lands and don't dare to explore the other parts of the Ancient Sky Battlefield.
At this moment, Ace's hooded figure appeared at the edge of a ruined ancient city. He was astounded when he saw ruins of buildings, and they seemed to be made of gold!
Furthermore, when he looked around, he found this entire place seemed to have gone through a terrifying battle and was covered in a strange, gloomy aura.
'This is golden lands?' Ace mused as he clearly wasn't imagining this ruin when he learned about the golden lands, a paradise on earth.
Suddenly, Ace noticed that he was close to the broken wall of this ruined city, and outside it were crimson plains without any greenery. His heart jolted when he suddenly sensed terrifying murderous intent!
For some strange reason, that murderous intent wasn't affecting the inside of the city.
'Don't tell me that prince saw through my sham and sent me to some dangerous place?' Ace's expression sank as this place was giving him the creeps, and it was his first time seeing such a thing.
Ace quickly opened the live fate map, and to his surprise, this entire place was dyed in light silver color, which was completely unexpected. Even the crimson plains were the same!
'I should explore. I don't believe that guy saw through my lies so quickly. He said this talisman could only send me to the outer region of the golden lands.' Ace calmed down. He stored away the golden talisman and began to move toward the depths of the ruined city.
As he got deeper, he began to see broken armor and weapons scattered around; he could only imagine the massive battle that happened in this place countless years ago. There was no one around patrolling the place which made it even stranger since this was supposed to be the secret of the imperial family.
Soon, Ace footsteps come to halt when he saw towering bronze walls which should be the inner region of the city and those walls were completely intact, and he was surprised when he discovered a powerful grade-8 formation covered the inner region, the fate map easily discovered it.
Furthermore, only now did he spot a fate point, and this belonged to a cultivator of Early stage Law Comprehension Realm!
'This should be the place. But it sure didn't look like a mining site. Don't tell me the part about grade-8 Qi stone and Soul crystal mines were really a rumor?' Ace's expression becomes grave since he took this risk for those two things.
Nonetheless, he carefully crept toward the inner-city walls, and he made sure to take a detour around the cultivator overseeing this place. Now that he was here, he wasn't going to leave until he discovered what was this place and its secrets. šÆš§š®š®šš®šš·šøš«š®š”.ššøš
Using the Twilight Traverse, he flew toward the inner city, and what he saw on the other side was shocking.
There were ancient buildings seemingly made with gold, and unlike the ruined city outside, they were completely intact. In the center of this place were two massive mountains with multiple caves closed with runic doors.
Just by entering this place, Ace felt extremely dense Qi like never before, and in the fate map, those two mountains were dyed in glittering silver color. His lips curled up in an elated smile as he instantly guessed that those two mountains should be his targets!
There wasn't anyone else in the buildings, and the cultivator within the walls didn't notice him either, so he directly flew towards the center where the mountains were located.
He landed a few hundred meters away from the mountains, and now that they were within his thief sense range, the fate map finally spotted 14 more cultivators scattered throughout the mountains. Shockingly, 12 of them were Law Comprehension Realm Cultivators, and two of them were Law Awareness Realm Cultivators.
'Don't tell me all these people belonged to the imperial family? They really hide their forces well.' Ace thought as he slowly crept toward the left mountain, which was giving off dense martial Qi.
But he didn't climb it, instead he headed in south side where he felt intense Qi fluctuation. Soon, he discovered a huge bronze door engraved with beast images and mysterious runes; it was completely sealed, and no one was there.
'This should be the place?' Uncertain, Ace carefully approached the door and tried to pass through it with Twilight Traverse.
But he was shocked when the moment he tried to touch the door, he was repelled by an invisible force!
This was the first time the Twilight Traverse had failed him, and shock was written all over his face.
'Don't tell me a formation above grace-8 is protecting this place?!' Ace shuddered, just thinking about this possibility, 'Could it be the lost grade-9 formation?'
Ace had unlocked the grade-9 arrays, and he even had the forbidden runes of grade-10 from the system. He knew they didn't exist in the mortal sky heaven and were considered forbidden for some reason. But now this ancient door was stopping his advance, so he couldn't help but think about them.
Nonetheless, Ace had another method, the Heaven's Stealer Dismantler Principles, which has nine grades, and he just happened to be a grade-9 dismantler!
