894 I Can’t Help It Either (1/2)
This myth was not unheard of in the Bound of Universe. The ones that Feng Guohai knew about already numbered more than a dozen. He was shocked, but not astonished. He even strangely felt like it was somewhat reasonable that it would eventually resurface.
”Not the God's Grave,” said Yun Yang, ”More like the Spirit's Grave…”
”The Spirit's Grave…” Feng Guohai repeated the words with a mouth that had somehow dropped wide open, his eyes filled with surprise.
He had never heard of this name. Where and how did it come by?
”Actually, I don't know what the Spirit's Grave means either. I just discovered these words when I entered and so I am recounting them as it is.”
Yun Yang sighed softly.
”I struggled with all my power then, but I made only a few steps. However, it was within these few steps that the wounds peppered all over me, internal or external, were wholly healed.”
”Then I realized there were countless purple crystals in front of me…”
”Countless… purple crystals…”
Feng Guohai murmured, feeling his breathing quicken and his throat grow increasingly parched.
Looking back at the Ethereal Amethysts in front of him, how could Feng Guohai not know what these so-called purple crystals were?
He felt himself trembling like his entire being could cease to exist at any time. He grabbed the young man in front of him without a second thought and questioned him about the consequential fate of the countless purple crystals.
”I went over instinctually that time, but I discovered that I couldn't make it any further. My body was unusually stiff and I couldn't walk. On the far end of the thick fog, a vague voice could be heard. I have never been to such an odd place before, but the voice knew my name and everything that had ever happened in my life…”
Yun Yang wore a look of lingering fear while Feng Guohao breathed in deeply and quipped, ”It has been said that those whose cultivation base has reached the level of a Divine Saint can see a person's previous and current life, as well as his karma, at a glance… It's a wonder that such an existence is present in this world…”
”That voice told me that my physique is unique, an empty spiritual form that hardly comes by… I was the only fated one of the Spirit's Grave. So, he saved me and used the blood from my wound to open a door to the Spirit's Grave by slitting the void open. Each opening lasts for only two-quarters of an hour, and I can only take ten steps inside. I will be chased out of the space once I exceed the time limit.”
Feng Guohai nodded slowly, looking more serious. Up to this point, he did not doubt even a single word of what Yun Yang had said.
Yun Yang's cultivation base was obvious, as was his age. It was also a fact that he was an Ascended from the lower realm. The combination of these three realities proved the truth of his words. More importantly, such myths were plentiful in the Bound of Universe.
The lucky ones who entered God's Grave would always meet strange phenomena… Although the known occurrences were different from Yun Yang's narration, those who entered usually were not able to move freely and were only able to cover a small distance each time; there could even be more restraints that were more intense than what Yun Yang had encountered.
Based on this point, the minuscule contrasts further supported his credibility.
”Since then, only I can enter the Spirit's Grave and it can also only be activated with my blood. Only my being can enter and each time I enter, I'm able to obtain some rewards, like this Ethereal Amethyst,” said Yun Yang.
”Things are more precious when they're scarce. Before this, I actually had no idea of the correct way of using the Ethereal Amethyst. I merely absorb the energy within and that's it. Now that I think back about it, I've spent it like water!”
