Chapter 1865: Hope Corner (1/2)

It was truly horrifying thinking that there was something so powerful hiding inside the s.h.i.+p. The princess quietly asked: “Should we secretly take a look?”

“Just let it be.” Li Qiye said flatly: “I don’t care if it’s evil or not as long as it doesn’t mess with me. If it’s foolish enough, I’ll end it.”

The princess heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Staying by Li Qiye’s side was safer than anything else. As long as he was around, even a more terrorizing event wasn’t worth mentioning.

“We’re about to reach Hope Corner, would you like to leave the s.h.i.+p for a look, Young n.o.ble?” She asked.

“Hope has been excavated completely long ago. Anything good there is gone now, the ones left must be ominous stuff that even emperors don’t want to deal with in order to avoid a disaster.” Li Qiye chuckled and shook his head.

The princess quietly nodded and didn’t say anything else.

On the second day, Eternal anch.o.r.ed far outside of Hope. From the distance, Hope looked like a vast continent filled with chaos energy.

Alas, this place engulfed in energy didn’t have a sliver of life. It was devoid of any tree, not even a blade of wild gra.s.s could be found.

There were mountains everywhere that looked like sleeping dragons. Thus, the terrain was certainly impressive enough outside of not having any vegetation. It was a land of black, fertile yet lifeless.

Hope Corner was the first stop of Exploration Grounds, the place found first in this area.

No one knows if this was the truth, but the majority of cultivators did indeed start in this place. Emperors weren’t included in this group.

There was a very simple reason for its popularity, safety. It had been excavated in while so there was no danger to speak of. It was considered the safest location of Exploration Grounds.

At the same time, there were naturally places left pristine despite the effort of the ma.s.s. Occasionally, someone would find a treasure or dig out something interesting.

This also added to its popularity at the entry location for Exploration Grounds. Moreover, those who only came to sightseeing found this place the best. It was cheap and safe. This could become a nice conversational topic in the future, not to mention finding some items if they were lucky enough.

“Esteemed pa.s.sengers, we have arrived at Hope Corner. Please exit the s.h.i.+p if you wish. We will be stopping here for five days. Those who are going to other areas, remember to come back on time. We will definitely leave in five days without delay.” The captain announced.

People rapidly left after hearing the announcement. Even for those whose final destination wasn’t here, they still wanted to take a look, especially the first-timers at Exploration Grounds.

In a short time, half of the pa.s.sengers left the s.h.i.+p, causing it to be quieter.

They quickly excavated the place and left holes on the ground. Others opened mountains while some chose to go deeper into the abysses.

“There’s no adventure here.” One first-timer became disappointed at Hope Corner.

“Even if there are dangerous places here, they’re not meant for juniors like us.” His senior replied: “This is the entry area, many experts including High G.o.ds and Emperors have been here. Anything usable had been found already.”

“Were there treasures in this place?” A different disciple instantly asked.

“Once, many many treasures. In fact, a few High G.o.ds became rich because of this place. Rumor has it that a Grand Emperor from the War-Monarch Clan found the remains of an immortal in this place. This eventually became their defining treasure.”

“The remains of an immortal? Really now?” The disciple’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The senior gently shook his head: “Not too sure since no outsiders have seen it. Rumor has it that some emperors had taken a look after the clan got it. But the exact details remained a well-kept secret by the clan.”

“Then let’s start digging, maybe we can find the same thing.” This disciple became eager after hearing the old tale.
