Chapter 563: Black Turtle (1/2)

Lan had been staying in Xue Wei's home world for more than ten thousand years, and he had also witnessed the decline of the four divine beast clans.

As he looked around the temple-like palace in front of him, he could not help but frown.

He knew that the four divine beast clans were the Azure Dragon Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, the White Tiger Clan, and the Black Turtle Clan.

The Black Turtle Clan had always been very mysterious and withdrawn. They resided within a mountain range, on a continent that was hard to approach, and they did not try to get involved in mundane affairs.

He had encountered them very few times throughout his years as the Sovereign of the world, but he did not know what connection they had with the Ghost Realm.

Looking around, although the other three divine beast clans were also portrayed, they did not even add up to half as many patterns and designs as the ones depicting the Black Turtle Clan.

”This is quite intriguing.”

Lan could not help but mutter to himself as he slowly stroked a piece of the wall in front of him. The material was soft to the touch, shimmering slightly in the dim light, but it was clearly abandoned for many years and was not kept well maintained.

Xue Wei also felt perplexed. He understood that this was something that even Lan had no knowledge of previously, but there was no doubt that it was connected to him.

He was the son of the Holy Maiden, and he had the bloodline of the Black Turtle within his body, although it was still not activated.

Even so, he could feel the power coursing through his veins, and felt a strange excitement as he looked around.

Lan was also sensing a special power within these forgotten buildings. Unlike Xue Wei's uncertainty, he knew that the trait of the energy that he could sense belonged to the element of faith, and it had baptized the whole forgotten city with its might.

From the look of the buildings, they had been abandoned for many years, most likely even more than the years Lan had spent waiting to be reunited with Mo Lian, but the energy of faith was still lingering behind, showing how powerful and frightening the amount of faith had been when it was still in use.

Such an amount of faith was only possible if the whole realm had worshipped the ones living here, and they had to be sincere in their belief.

Lan and Xue Wei were not walking together. Although they understood the severity of splitting up, they were willing to take the risk as they each had their own goals now that they had arrived.
