Chapter 368: A Secret Storehouse of the Demon Race
Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
There was a magnificent courtyard in a certain corner of the Rising Sun City; it occupied a vast area . A grey-robed old man stood somewhere outside this courtyard with his hands hanging alongside his body . He often looked at the house that was in the middle of the courtyard with a hint of anxiousness on his face .
The whole house was shrouded in a layer of the grey light screen . The grey-robed old man stood far from the house, but he could still feel that it was exuding bursts of strong magic power waves .
This process continued for an hour . Afterwards, the intermittent bursts of magic power waves that the house was sending out all this time gradually came to an end .
The door of the house was pushed open after a moment, and Leng Yue Tong walked out at a slow pace . She was clad in a vibrant orange dress at the moment .
A tinge of radiant glow could still be seen in her beautiful eyes . Also, her whole body was exuding a mysterious wave of magic power .
"Congratulations Miss Seven for making such a great progress and entering the realm of the Seven Stars . You can attempt to do close-door practice to break through the Moon-rank after returning to the Main Altar . " The grey-robed old man's face revealed a smile when he saw her . He then bowed and said .
"Thanks to the Mysterious Dark Flower that I could break through the bottleneck this time . At the same time, my cultivation also made an astonishing progress . Oh, by the way… how many days we have until the Rising Sun City's auction?" Leng Yue Tong asked .
"Miss Seven, you have been occupied with your closed-door practice for seven days . The Rising Sun City's auction is scheduled to take place tomorrow," the grey-robed old man replied . Then, he took out two invitation cards and handed them over . He then continued, "These are the invitation cards from the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion and the Jade Spirit Pavilion . Please take a look at them, Miss Seven . "
Leng Yue Tong took them and threw a cursory glance at them . Then, she said, "It has finally appeared . I have to get hold of this thing at any cost this time . Well, I never expected that the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion will also have the Mysterious Dark Flower . Elder Bei, I'm sorry to bother you, but you will have to go there on behalf of me . You have to ensure that those three flowers fall into our hands . "
"Young Lady, you feel relived . This subordinate knows what he has to do," the grey-robed old man replied .
. . .
In a certain side hall of the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion . . .
"Miss Xiu, this Soaring Flame Crystal… have you heard of it ever before?" Shi Mu asked .
"No, I went to ask Manager Ge . But, he said that he has never heard of it either . I think that this thing has been taken out by the Jade Spirit Pavilion as their final product . So, it ought to have some extraordinary features . It may either be some kind of precious spirit material, or it contains some special energy?" Zhong Xiu shook her head as she said .
"The opposite party is fully aware of the fact that the star stone is going to be our final product at the auction . But, they still chose to take this thing out . This indicates that it ought to have some profound function," Shi Mu spoke in a thoughtful manner .
There was the image of that Soaring Flame Crystal on the invitation card that Shi Mu held in his hand . The image looked almost the same as the dark red transparent crystal stone that he had previously obtained from the underground cave; the underground cave was on the outskirts of the Peaceful Sun City .
Moreover, this was the second time Shi Mu heard the name of the Soaring Flame Crystal . The first time he heard its name was when he was in the middle of escorting goods' mission . He happened to listen to the secret conversation of Leng Yue Tong and some other person one particular night during that journey . And, the Soaring Flame Crystal had been mentioned by them . However, Shi Mu couldn't figure out the usage of this thing until now .
"Can Leng Yue Tong possibly come to the Rising Sun city especially to take hold of this Soaring Flame Crystal? Can it be possible that this matter is somehow concerned with Liu An?" Shi Mu made a conjecture inwardly .
Just then, a knock on the door was heard . It was followed by Manager Ge's voice, "Elder Zhong, this subordinate has inquired about an important matter that I need to report to you . "
"Manager Ge, what did you hear?" Zhong Xiu opened the door and asked Manager Ge to come in . After that, she asked .
"I don't know why this rumor has begun to spread throughout the city today . So, I made some inquiries and found it somewhat strange . So, I thought to report to Elder Zhong," the old man surnamed Ge said .
"What's that rumor?" Zhong Xiu asked .
"I wonder if Elder Zhong and Senior Shi have ever heard of the legend of the Demon race's secret storehouse," Manager Ge said .
"The Demon race's secret storehouse?" Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu exchanged a glance as they heard these words . Then, they directed their line of sight towards Manager Ge . It was apparent that they never heard of it .
"The war between the Barbarian race and the Demon race had erupted thousands of years ago . Ever since then, a fable has been circulating throughout the Western continent . You must have heard that Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak is situated in the Beautiful Gauze region in the central part of this continent . According to this circulating fable… the secret storehouse of the Demon race is situated somewhere in that mountain Peak . It is said that the white ape Demon King came into being out of nowhere during the period of war between both races . And, this secret storehouse is said to be the inheritance of the White Ape Demon King that he left behind . It is said that the strength of a person would rise exponentially if he obtains this inheritance . In addition, that inheritance also contains the secret of stepping into the World of Immortals," the old man surnamed Ge explained .
"Inheritance… World of Immortals!" Shi Mu was profoundly shocked to hear this . Even Zhong Xiu's facial expression changed .
"Well, the white ape Demon King was almost invincible between both Demon and Barbarian race at that time . Therefore, its inheritance naturally became the object that everyone craves for . The white ape Demon King later disappeared somewhere in the Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak for no reason . So, some people believed that he ascended to the World of the Immortals . The Demon race has always claimed that this is a groundless assumption . However, the three big demon tribes have been guarding the Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak ever since then . Also, they revere this mountain peak as their holy land . This indicates that they are apparently concealing something . A series of wars broke out between the Demon and the Barbarian race because of the secret storehouse of the Demon race . I have even heard that some barbarian powerhouses even sneaked into the Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak forcefully . But, they eventually returned without accomplishing anything . On the contrary, they had lost a lot of strength after their return . There was no one in the three major demon tribes that could be placed on par with the formidable white ape Demon King . Therefore, this matter gradually subsided," The old man surnamed Ge continued .
"How did this old matter pop up again this time?" Zhong Xiu asked .
"It is said that this matter is somehow related to this Soaring Flame Crystal . According to this rumor… the Soaring Flame Crystal is the key to find the inheritance of the white ape Demon King in the Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak . In addition, it's also the key to move to the World of the Immortals," Manager Ge replied .
"When did this rumor begin to spread?" Shi Mu asked .
"It started to spread early in the morning today . " Manager Ge replied .
"In fact, this rumor seems to have a very good match with the timing of the invitation card sent by the Jade Spirit Pavilion . " Zhong Xiu said .
"Perhaps this rumor has been aired either by the Jade Spirit Pavilion or Elder Shi Zhao in an attempt to drum-up support for this Soaring Flame Crystal . " Shi Mu said .
"This matter indeed seems somewhat fishy . But, a rumor is a rumor . So, no one can prove that this thing has this ability . But, don't tell me there are still some people who are ready to spend a lot of money to bid and grab this thing without knowing the authenticity of this rumor? By the way, how is the reaction of all parties?" Zhong Xiu pondered a moment before she said .
"It feels strange, but this matter seems to have attracted the attention of lots of big forces . " The old man surnamed Ge said .
Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu looked at each other once as they heard his reply . Then, Zhong Xiu nodded and said, "Well, I got it . Elder Ge, you must have had a long, tiring day . You can go now . "
Zhong Xiu then closed the door after Manager Ge's departure .
