Chapter 68: Origins of the Spirit Burying Terrace (Part 4)
When nightfall arrived, Su Chen felt the Smoke Snake Imprint’s familiar feeling, and he knew that Gu Qingluo had come to find him.
For Gu Qingluo to know that he had returned so quickly meant that she had been monitoring his movements the entire time.
Su Chen left his room and walked to the back mountain.
Upon passing through the small forest, he arrived once again at the familiar pool of water. He saw Gu Qingluo shaking her delicate legs in the pool of water.
Upon hearing a noise, she turned her head around to look at Su Chen. A smile blossomed on her face as she said, “You’ve had enough fun playing outside, yet you still know how to return?”
Su Chen laughed, ”How come your words don’t sound quite right? You sound like a married woman whose kids all left the house.”
Gu Qingluo’s face reddened. “Good, you actually dare take advantage of me.”
As she spoke, she picked up some leaves and shot them towards Su Chen.
Su Chen’s figure flowed like the wind. He didn’t even bother looking as his body gently swayed dodging a large portion of the leaves.
Gu Qingluo’s eyes lit up. “Hm? Your Snaking Mist Steps has greatly improved. Why does it seem like there are traces of Origin Energy?”
While speaking, she shot even more leaves at him.
Su Chen took repeated steps, his figure moving. At the moment, his eyes were closed; his ability to hear movements via wind that he had obtained when he was blind had not deteriorated. His body suddenly exploded to its full potential. He suddenly flipped his hand out and stabbed out with his hand, forming a blade. Although he had seeming to merely slash out through the air with his hand, there was a thunderous rumble, and a blade of air suddenly rushed towards Gu Qingluo.
Gu Qingluo was extremely shocked. She, too, activated her Snaking Mist Steps, and the blade of air flew past her, striking a nearby tree. The tree shook violently.
“You’re an Origin Qi Scholar?” Gu Qingluo blurted out.
Last time he had returned, Su Chen had seen Gu Qingluo a few times. However, he never revealed the fact that he was now an Origin Qi Scholar. Now that three more months had gone by, he could admit that he was an Origin Qi Scholar. Although his speed was faster than normal, it was not much different and could be acceptable.
“No wonder your Snaking Mist Steps improved so much. Now you have discovered the uncommon aspects of the Snaking Mist Steps, right?” Gu Qingluo said with her hands behind her back, extremely pleased with herself.
“Miss Gu’s Snaking Mist Steps definitely are uncommon. I would know this even if I wasn’t an Origin Qi Scholar,” Su Chen laughed.
“Hmph.” Gu Qingluo rolled her eyes at him.
The two of them sat and chatted idly for awhile before Gu Qingluo said, “I came to find you because I’ve found some information about the Spirit Burying Terrace.”
“Don’t tell me, let me guess. First, this Spirit Burying Terrace is the name of a certain location, right?” Su Chen said.
“Correct.”
“In addition, it should be somewhere in Northface City, right?”
“Hey, how did you know that?” Gu Qingluo asked with curiosity.
Su Chen replied, “Because Old Sang was trying to use Lin Xie. Lin Xie is nobody important. Trying to specifically talk to him about this matter means that he must be useful in some way. After all, he is only part of the Lin Clan, a strength confined only to Northface City. Thus, I estimate that the Spirit Burying Terrace is very likely somewhere in Northface City.”
“Clever,” Gu Qingluo laughed as she clapped her hands. “Continue.”
“Thirdly, it should be an ancient ruin.”
“How did you know that?”
“Because in the current seven human kingdoms, there is no Spirit Burying Terrace.”
After his vision had returned, Su Chen had thumbed through ancient records, searching through all the different kingdoms. However, he never found a place known as a Spirit Burying Terrace. Upon discovering that the organization was the Immortal Temple, Su Chen realized that this could be an old name for it; however, he had no way of verifying this idea.
Most importantly, Su Chen knew that they were an Arcana Organization.
All Arcana Organizations had one thing in common, which was that they dreamed of restoring former glories, while overturning the current regimes.
They wanted the Arcana Kingdom’s glory to reappear. However, they did not use their own efforts and the Arcana Race’s previous experiments to recreate their inventions. Rather, they used various methods to uncover old Arcana artifacts and ruins, using them to find treasure stores.
Simply put, they were quite literally “reappearing” – they would dig up things hidden in the earth for tens of thousands of years, hoping that they would prove useful.
