52 Chapter 52: Unlocking The First Volume! (1/2)
”Merlin, what-what did you just say?” A voluptuous black haired-woman who wore a robe that was similiar to the one she called Merlin spoke in absolute shock.
”Are you saying that another Saint has been born?!” A gray-haired middle-aged man uttered in amazement.
”I-I'mnot sure...” Merlin replied awkwardly.
”What do you mean you're not sure? You just said that the light we sensed just now was a light that came from the cosmos!” The gray-haired man was in a state of confusion.
”That's right. Among all of us here, your powers of divination is the most reliable since you have excelled in that 'Law' as well. So how come you are contradicting yourself right now?”The black-haired woman spoke in displeasure.
”Well, it's because what happened is.. strange.” Merlin said while he was seemingly pondering.
”Why?” Both curiously asked.
”You both all know that in order for a cultivator to become a Saint. He/She must comprehend a Primal Law, right?” Merlin spoke.
”Yes, that's how each of us here became a Saint.” The woman nodded.
”Yes, but what does it have to do with what happened? You even said that this man/woman comprehended a Primoridial-level Law that's why he/she is able to incite the cosmic light. ” The man asked.
”It has everything to do with it. Because normally when a cultivator comprehends a Law, the Law emits the strength of the Cultivator. But, it wasn't the case for this one. I could only sense the level of profoundness of the Law but not the level of the Cultivator!”Merlin revealed in cold sweat.
”What? But how is that possible? But... It could happen... If the cultivator is someone who is stronger than you and reached 'that' realm!” The woman shockingly said.
”That's right but there is also another possible reason...” Merlin added.
”It was a Law Fragment!” The man continued.
”Yes, if a treasure hunter or a tomb raider were to accidentally open a Saint-level or even stronger powerhouse Tomb or Manor, then the remaining law that is sealed in his body would release an energy that would reconnect it to the world.” Merlin expounded.
”I-if that's true, then that Primoridial-level Law Fragment must be found immediately or else other powers from other states might also lust for this treasure.” The woman was alarmed.
”Let's not jump into conclusions just yet, Minerva. We must investigate this thoroughly.” The man analyzed.”
”Aiden is right. We must analyze this situation thoroughly and elaborate our approach to this matter.” Merlin seconded Aiden's suggestion.
”Oh my, three of the four Tower Lords of the Mystical Magnate Tower is panicking because of a strange light. The simple solution is that if it is a tomb, then we raid it. If it is a person, we invite him. If he doesn't agree, we eliminate him and seize his 'Law' for ourselves. ” A man who wielded a sword by his waist walked in the room. He was a dashing young man with fair complexion. But his most distinguishable feature was his brows. His brows zigzagged at the end of it forming a small ”z” for each brow.
”Zorro, you finally decided to show up. The rules state that when a meeting starts, everyone must be here on or before the designated time!” Aiden raised his voice at the arrival of Zorro.
”Hm. Rules are dead and we are the living. Besides, you already know that it's not my style to follow things and I do what I want to do, whenever, wherever or whatever it may be. ” Zorro smiled confidently.
This young man is one of the most popular figures of not only in the Mystic Red Cloud State but in the entire Mystical Clouds Country, Sword Saint Zorro! Being the youngest person to become a Saint in the entire stateat the age of 35, he is renowned as Mystic Red Cloud State's Number one talent!
Besides being a Saint, he is also a Mystical Magnate who constructed his own school which is teaching cultivators who walk on the path of the sword. He has already manifested a school in each city of the Mystic Red Cloud State and even established his schools in other states with his connections. He had also recently become a Lord that gave him the qualifications to join the ranks of the Tower Lords at the age of 38!
The Tower Lords are known as the individuals whom have attained Saint Realm and the title of Lord at the same time. They are the strongest experts of the Mystic Red Cloud State! Not only that, they are also businessmen/ businesswoman who have established brands that have branches all over the Mystical Clouds Country!
”You... Hmph!” Aiden snorted.
”Hahaha.” Zorro laughed in response.
”Stop quarrelling you two. We have more important matters at hand!” Merlin reprimanded the two.
The two became silent and did not talk to each other since then. The meeting went on as Merlin discussed their possible course of actions they may take.
But as the light attracted them, it also attracted the top powers of all the states of the Mystical Clouds Country was also intrigued by these phenomenon.
At the Mystic Blue Cloud State...
A palace stood majestically on a giant lake. The palace did not float yet it strangely stood on the lake waters as though it was land. The lake was surrounded by beautiful and fascinating waterfalls which filled the lake of its pure, clean, glistening water. The water was so clear that you are able to see right through it and you can see sea creatures that act like the guardians of the palace.
Within the palace...
”Your Highness, we have detected a cosmic light that formed a law somewhere in the Mystic Red Cloud State. We are still uncertain whether it was from a newborn Saint or a Law Fragment of a former powerhouse but we are sure that it is a Primoridial-level Law!” A man dressed in noble sea-blue robe knelt and reported to the lady sitting at the throne.
”A Primoridial-level Law? Hmm, investigate further. Find the precise location. Then, report back to me.” The lady spoke calmly. She wore a veil which covered her face but the contours of her face outlined her unparalleled beauty hidden in the veil. She wore a sea-blue dress that complimented her light-blue hair.
”Yes, your Highness.” The man in sea-blue robe bowed as he left immediately.
As the man left, the lady spoke with wonder.
