Chapter 137: “Soon…..” (1/2)

A week after arriving at Pearl Coast, the Aztec group boarded a ship and were already well on their way to Owl Island.

Jake permed his lips as he was locked in his room.

It had been a while since they had gotten to the coast and yet, the king hasn't honored his deal.

Jake didn't concern himself with it. He had already expected such an outcome, even though it was more fierce than expected.

Instead, he took his time to enrich himself with knowledge.

Finally digesting all the pieces of information he got from the library, he felt his mind free and could observe things better.

With his newfound knowledge, he could understand many things.

For example, the Aztec group destination was Owl Island, an overly mystical place that was the residence of Astral Academy, owned by the Astral Sect.

Normally, there were only a few sects, here and there, as nowadays, cultivators don't rely on sects, but the few ones that stand out are all prestigious.

It was the same with the Astral Sect. It was a global sect that existed on all continents, with the headquarters being at the central continent.

Previously, they used to accept cultivators based on the talent system, but after being scorned, they lost a lot of popularity. This however did not stop them from being the biggest powerhouse in the southern continent.

If Jake was to make comparisons, the difference between the Aztec Kingdom and Astral Sect was that the latter housed a [Realm-4] cultivator, while the former had a handful of [Realm-3] individuals.

That was why the king was heading there.

Jake understood that Owl Island would serve as a gathering spot for all those who were escaping from the southern continent, possibly even being the place where they make their last stand against the zombie invasion.

He knew how serious the invasion was.

On his way to the ship, he had spotted other ships fully loaded, about five hundred(500) of them.

He also saw the royals of other kingdoms on the other ships. That was how intense the whole matter was.

He finally understood why Talon, the Second Evil, said their victory was inevitable.

[A/N: Thanos: I am inevitable.]

Anyway, Jake didn't care about that.

He stood up from his bed and looked at the blue water outside the circular window.

As they were on the sea, such a view was understandable. Yet, he was not allowed to watch the sea from a better perspective.

The structure of the ship was divided into three levels; the lowest level, the middle level, and the upper level.

Due to not having enough space, Jake was taken to the lowest level along with a few others.

However, he was the only one whose door was heavily guarded by Aztec guards.

The king had totally gone back on his words. Even after obediently acted as the middle-man between the king and the phantom, he still wasn't freed.

Jake understood that it was greediness. The Royals could not afford to lose their translator when they had just started communicating with the phantom.

'The phantom is also interesting,' smiled Jake as he placed his hand on the cold window.

After arranging his thoughts, he understood the identity of the phantom.
