Chapter 1359: Chasing The Shadow (1/2)

“It finally came.” Li Qiye excitedly stared at the shadow with his bright eyes.

The girls have never seen this kind of expression from him. Even when countless treasures presented themselves, he didn’t bother batting an eye as if indicating that they were nothing. However, this shadow warranted so much attention from him that it seemed as if it was a supreme immortal treasure. The girls were curious, just what was this shadow and its uses?

Li Qiye commanded: “Everyone, wait here.” He took out a treasure and threw it into the sea.

The item he threw into the sea was a medium-sized shuttle. It was translucent, making it seem to be made from crystal. He then jumped inside and with a swish, it swiftly dove into the sea and disappeared from sight.

The rest of the group was dumbfounded. They were aware that anything that fell into the sea would be done for. Nothing could float in the Bonesea outside of bones. Both the living and treasures would start to sink without fail.

But now, Li Qiye threw out a shuttle-like boat that could actually travel in the Bonesea. This was quite unfathomable. Such a treasure would be coveted by everyone since it would allow for free travel in this region.

They naturally didn’t know that Li Qiye borrowed it from the Bones Lord. This was the place where the boat would s.h.i.+ne. Because of this, the island lord considered this boat to be as valuable as his own life. No other treasure could compare to it.

At this point, the shadow that was slowly drifting in the sea suddenly ran for dear life towards the horizon.

The group immediately knew that Li Qiye was chasing after it. Qianbei watched and murmured: “Just what the h.e.l.l is that thing?” Li Qiye who didn’t care for all the treasures here was now running for this shadow.

The truth was that none of them knew anything about the shadow. This was their first time hearing about its legend as well.

Ruyan was very inquisitive about this matter. She asked the daoist: “Hey, Puresun Island Lord, your four branches are considered the oldest lineage in Heaven Spirit. Does it not have any records about this thing?”

The daoist shook his head: “I wouldn’t need to lie to you if I knew about it. We really don’t have anything written down about this shadow.”

Jians.h.i.+ asked: “I heard Immortal Emperor Gu Chun had been there. Immortal Emperor Yan s.h.i.+ was even more amazing. There are tales about how she nearly turned the Bonesea upside down. One even wrote that she made it all the way to the depths of the Bonesea. Even the two of them don’t know anything about this shadow?”

Their curiosity was warranted, especially after seeing Li Qiye’s unexpected action. The shadow must be unparalleled!

“I don’t know whether our patriarch was aware of the shadow or not, but we simply don’t have any records about it. If we were to talk about shadows and darkness, then I actually do know one particular matter that is written down at our sect. It states that for generations, a dark curtain has always been covering the nine worlds.”

“The mythical dark curtain!” Both the sisters’ eyes widened. Ruyan said: “Are you referring to the dark hand behind the curtains?”

The daoist said: “Yes, the dark hand, but this has nothing to do with the shadow here.”

Jians.h.i.+ replied: “Yes, these are independent matters. The dark hand is something else entirely. We also have records about the dark hand, but it’s not very clear. There are only a few sentences here and there without any details.”

“This dark hand is an existence that has been around since the start as well.” The daoist commented with a tinge of emotion before stopping.

Qianbei curiously asked: “Dark hand? What is this dark hand?” He naturally knew nothing about it.

The others didn’t want to talk about this topic and kept their mouths shut. Even though they didn’t know much about the dark hand behind the curtains, they were still aware that it was a taboo subject. Even those who knew the truth were unwilling to discuss this topic.
