Chapter 219 - World First Mysterious Realm
Elder Dan and that mysterious Dean of Danxiang Taoyuan were the strongest alchemists in the entire Chenwu Mainland. Since Elder Dan was still a step away from Dan King until now, Chen Xiang had never heard of someone being a real Dan King.
“It turned out to be him!” Su Meiyao exclaimed with surprise.
”Who?” Chen Xiang hastily asked.
”He is indeed a Dan King, however he is long dead, because he held a clue about a very sought after mysterious realm. That mysterious realm is very famous in the mortal world, known as a world-first treasure trove, also known as the world’s first mysterious realm! Inside it, there are countless rare and precious spirit herbs, spirit beasts, exotic and wonderful treasures and so on! That's why he was hunted down by many fearsome martial artists across the mortal worlds!” Su Meiyao replied.
Bai Youyou continued, ”This guy entered the this mysterious realm at very young age, and obtained many things from there. After many many years, he became a Dan King. However, he revealed this confidential secret to his son, who was rather a greedy person through and through. So, this confidential secret was revealed and he joined with some powerful martial artists to try and force his father to reveal the location of the world’s first mysterious realm.”
Su Meiyao sighed, ”Li Tianjun was a very strong martial artist, however, being hunt down by various major martial artists made his situation very dangerous. Later, nothing had been heard about him for an extremely long time, and according to his son, he was already dead.”
Chen Xiang looked at that monument, asked, ”When did this happened?”
”About 10,000 years ago. It appears he was still alive, and even went to the Heavenly Realm! at that time, he was already praised as the world’s number one martial artist, to be precise, the strongest under the Heavenly Realm!” Su Meiyao was somewhat excited at this point, ”He left these herb gardens, maybe he also left the clue to the entrance of the world’s first mysterious realm somewhere. Also, the Refiners Scroll you got maybe came from his hands as well.”
That Refiners Scroll was in an inheritance bead, and was very esoteric. Even Liu Menger was not able to completely understand it. Chen Xiang looked at the monument, and poured his divine sense into it. However, it was blocked out by a mysterious power.
”There is something inside the monument!” Long Xueyi suddenly said.
Under the vigorous slap of Chen Xiang's palm, cracks appeared on the monument. He once again slapped down on it, and as the monument broke into pieces, a black iron box fell down.
Chen Xiang, Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou, were all extremely excited, because inside this black iron box, there could very well be a clue to the world’s first mysterious realm.
Chen Xiang picked up that hand-sized small iron box and carefully looked all around it. He found a small hole on top of the box, just large enough for a key to be inserted. He quickly used the same key that opened the herb garden, and just like before, a beast skin was present inside. As he spread it out, he saw a very detailed map inside.
Chen Xiang carefully looked at the map, and his heartbeat became faster and faster. He was absolutely sure that this should be the map pointing at the entrance of the first mysterious realm. However, in order to enter the mysterious, he needed to wait a long time, because this mysterious realm required a long interval of time to open.
”When the darkness engulf the light, on the Sun Moon Island, the entrance to the mysterious realm will open!” Chen Xiang repeated these words over and over again, trying to understand it, ”What does that mean?”
”Solar eclipse*!” Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou said in chorus.
[TLN: 天狗食日 - Solar Eclipse. The literal meaning is ”the Heavenly Dog eats the Sun”, and chinese people really used to believe at one time that this was what caused eclipses.]
Chen Xiang immediately understood, ”When? This Sun Moon Island seems to be in our Mortal Martial World!”
