Chapter 1600 - Stepping on the Heart of Destiny (2/2)

The spacecraft landed on a platform made of crystal and metal. The platform was surrounded by vast plains of crystal clusters in three directions, and there was a long crystal ramp behind it.

At the end of the ramp was a peak made entirely of blue and white crystal.

Hao Ren and Vivian approached the crystal ramp together.

The crystal peak in the distance rose high into the sky, and the cliffs around it were so steep and straight that the entire mountain stood like a sword or a great tower on the earth. Continuous thunderstorms formed around the mountain, hitting the crystalline cliffs tirelessly.

“I’ve seen this place in my visions…” Hao Ren murmured to himself. “The crystal throne is in this mountain…”

Salaman’s huge figure appeared in front of the ramp. “Ahead is the heart of the Holy Land. I will take you there myself.” The old giant’s voice sounded like thunder.

“Just you?” Hao Ren looked back and noticed that a lot of guardian giants had also left the ship, but they were just standing quietly in the distance.

“They are with me,” Salaman explained. “What I see, they can see too. And if anything goes wrong with the verification process, they can always come to me. But until then, the Holy Land does not need to be disturbed by more of us.”

“Got it. You want to keep this place quiet.”

Salaman took the lead and walked in the direction of the holy mountain.

Hao Ren, Vivian, as well as the MDT, quickly followed him.

After they walked for a while, the MDT started to make a fuss.

“Do we have to walk? We can just teleport there, it’s a lot faster…”

There was no response.

“Okay, okay, I know we’re in the Holy Land.”

“Can you tell me what the verification process is? So that we can get ready.”

There was still no response.

“Okay, okay, I know we’re in the Holy Land.”

“The great plain out here is very desolate. I thought you’d have a base camp or something.”

Again, there was no response.

“Okay, okay, I know we’re in the Holy Land.”

Salaman suddenly stopped. He looked down very carefully at the MDT floating next to Hao Ren’s head and then at Hao Ren. “Is there a sprite in it?”

“It’s been chattering like this ever since I got it! It has nothing to do with the sprites!”

“Oh, there are so many talkative creatures in this world.”

The MDT immediately flew into a rage. “I’ll fight you! A duel, you understand? Don’t stop me, bro, don’t stop… Damn, you’re really not going to stop me?”

“Just shut up, will you?” Hao Ren grabbed the MDT and put it in his pocket.

After a while, Salaman stopped again. “Here we are.”

Stunned, Hao Ren looked back in the direction he was coming from: he saw a very long ramp, which allowed nearly a thousand Nangong Wuyues in sea serpent form to line up on it, but he felt like they had been walking for only ten minutes at most.

“Walking on this ramp means that you have passed the first test: anyone who has been polluted by the Mad Lord or who is malicious to the Holy Land can’t walk here at all. As for distance… That is an irrelevant issue in the Holy Land, where space is never continuous and uniform,” Salaman explained.

“I know it’s not that simple…”
