Chapter 644 - Dumbfounded (1/2)

“Crack.”

The array of Yingzhou Island cracked open and several people got in. The first one was a middle-aged man who was holding an astrolabe. The astrolabe was made of silver and there were a lot of black gems on it which corresponded to the position of the stars. Looking from afar, they were enveloped in a silver white aura.

Zhang Ran said, “Phew, we’re finally in. The array is terrifying. I thought I was going to be torn to pieces.”

The other disciples of the Black Water Sect were also frightened and even Xiao Wu’s face was blanched.

The middle-aged man said, “The Lord of the East House was as superior as a Sky Immortal, right after the Ancestral Patriarchs of the sects. He worked with eighteen Mortal Deities to build this terrifying array. Without this astrolabe pa.s.sed down from the Earth Level Deities, the power of the array would have killed us all already.”

His name was Yan Jingchao, one of the two Immortal State Warriors of the Black Water Sect.

Yan Jingchao glanced at the astrolabe and found that there was a long crack on it. It would be shattered after one more use.

“Fortunately, we’re only planning to come in here once. We’ll leave immediately after getting the Spirit Stones,” Yan Jingchao thought.

“Dad, the Spirit Qi here is as dense as in our realm and it’s so beautiful. Why did the Earth Level Deities leave back then?”

Xiao Wu opened her arms and took a deep breath.

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, “Xiao Wu, you didn’t know about this. When the Battle of Deities broke out, countless Sky Immortals and G.o.ds caused severe destruction and changes in the world. Many cultivation sects thought they couldn’t stay in this world any longer, so they escaped into the Gate of Heaven. Yingzhou Island is good indeed, but it isn’t as vast as our realm.”

“Alright, cut the c.r.a.p! We have to get to the center of the island and find the Spirit Stone Mine quickly. Remember, there are a lot of fierce beasts left here. You must stay close to me at all times,” Yan Jingchao frowned and said.

People from the Black Water Sect were famous for the ability to control the Black Water.

The disciples cast a spell which created a wave as they hurried towards Yingzhou Island. After reaching the sh.o.r.e, they found that there were a lot of Spirit Beasts.

“Bang!”

The girl in the red dress lashed the silver wolf with a black long whip. The wolf was four meters long, as large as a tiger, and its hair was silver white. After being attacked, it got up again with no injuries and it sent out a silver light ray.

“Be careful. It’s a descendant of the Moon Wolf. Even though it seems a bit weak, it’s a beast after all and is comparable to a Transcendent State Cultivator.”

Yan Jingchao blocked the silver light ray with his hand and cast a spell.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

A st.u.r.dy, black water dragon was formed in the air and it wrapped the giant wolf tightly. The wolf howled with fright and was then crushed into pieces.

“Thanks, Dad,” Xiao Wu smiled and said, “Dad’s ‘Black Water Dragon Art’ has become more powerful.”

“This is only a normal beast. I’m no match for an Immortal State Beast if we encounter one.” Yan Jingchao shook his head.

The other disciples of the Black Water Sect looked around anxiously.

They encountered many beasts along the way. They would have died if Yan Jingchao wasn’t there to protect them.

“I heard that Xuan Luo and Snow Fairy went to places like the Sword Palace in Mount Shu, the Qin Mountain and the ancient city in the West Desert, to look for the treasures of the Earth Level Deities and Sky Immortals. Only us from a small sect have to come here for the Spirit Stone Mine,” a disciple mumbled.

“You should be glad. Even Earth Level Deities might die when they go to places like the Sword Palace in Mount Shu. It’s already a blessing to have found a Spirit Stone Mine,” another disciple said.

They kept fighting with the beasts as they went forward; eventually there were no more beasts to be found.

“Phew, looks like there aren’t any Immortal State Beasts on the island.”

Yan Jingchao was relieved.

“Sthh.”

Then, they walked out of the forest and reached an open area. There were many walls that were dozens of meters tall, as if it were a giant’s palace. Unfortunately, the palace had been destroyed and only the ruins were left.

“This must be the place where the Earth Level Deities gathered back then.”

Yan Jingchao and the disciples were in awe.

“During the heyday of Yingzhou Island, there were Sky Immortals and dozens of Earth Level Deities here, even more than in our realm. So, we can see that the Cultivation Realm truly thrived in the past,” Zhang Ran said.

“Let’s see if the stele is still there. Once we find it, we’ll be close to the Spirit Stone Mine,” the middle-aged man said.

They kept walking down the road towards the center of the island. There were many blurry paintings on the walls around them, which depicted spectacular events of the Sages and the disciples of the Black Water Sect were all envious.

“Dad, there’s a cute giant leopard!”

Xiao Wu yelled with excitement.

Yan Jingchao turned around and was instantly frightened.

A black, five-meter leopard was lying and yawning on one of the walls, and there seemed to be sparks in his eyes.

“A Thunder Beast. This is an Immortal State Thunder Beast.”
