Chapter 288: Memory lane(3).
The chamber shimmered gently, the air humming with latent power.Thin veins of glowing mana pulsed across the floor like living lines of energy, reacting to jade's presence.As he set the jade token into place, a soft vibration rippled through the room.Instantly, a translucent barrier of protective mana bloomed outward, forming a dome around the room to isolate it from the outside.With a deep mechanical groan, the floor split open, parting in two symmetrical arcs as if awakening from a deep slumber.A cool, glowing light emerged from beneath.A hidden staircase spiraled downward—carved with ancient runes, each glowing faintly in the presence of Oasis’s mana.Without hesitation, Oasis stepped forward and descended.As he moved, a wisp of his mana trailed with each step, activating the mana lamps along the walls.As if called to life by his presence, the mana lamps along the stone walls flared awake one by one, casting a soft glow that illuminated the path downward.The air grew dense
Chapter 287: Memory lane(2).
The warm, golden light of the mana-lamps spilled across the walls, casting a soft glow over the modest but neatly-kept interior.The walls were lined with polished oak panels, and a worn table sat at the center of the room where Oasis and the man took their seats.The space felt lived in but quiet—too quiet. Oasis could tell instinctively that no other life dwelled in the house aside from the two of them.“Lad, it’s fascinating,” the man said, breaking the silence and leaning back in his chair. “The scrawny kid we pulled out of the river that day has grown like this.""And without a doubt, you seem strong, stronger than most even. Judging from your clothes, you’ve made it in life. I’m sure Sir Elias would have been proud.”Oasis lowered his gaze respectfully.“I’m sure you’ve noticed,” the man continued, “most folks here… if not all… are new faces.”There was a pause, his voice trembling slightly.“The massacre years ago… it was brutal. Only those who were away from the hamlet survive
Chapter 286: Memory lane.
The golden sunlight slanted low in the sky, bathing Riverbend Hamlet in a gentle glow. As the horizon blushed in amber and rose, the rolling hills cradling the hamlet shimmered like an oil painting come to life. From a distance, Oasis sat astride his equinore, a faint smile dancing on his lips.Before him, nestled peacefully between the lush folds of the forest and the whispering Silverwater River, lay the humble village that once shaped the earliest chapters of his journey. The hamlet was livelier than one might expect, simple, warm, and brimming with small-town familiarity. Smoke rose lazily from chimneys, laughter spilled from distant homes, and the hum of life tickled the breeze.“Finally here,” Oasis whispered to himself.The gentle creak of a carriage behind him drew his attention. “We are finally here, young master,” the elder from within the carriage called out, leaning forward from the shaded interior with a smile.Oasis gently tugged his reins, slowing his equinore to
Chapter 285: A Symbol.
King Elpis turned toward his queen, brows furrowed slightly...“But if he’s not human… then what is he?” he murmured.“He’s definitely not a demon. I’d know if he were.”Queen Elara, ever composed, her beauty as timeless as the mountains, folded her arms beneath her long, sleeves.Her voice, like spring wind through the ancient groves, was both gentle and absolute.“I’m not entirely sure either,” she said slowly. “But... at first, I thought he might be a phoenix.”Elpis blinked, momentarily taken aback.“A phoenix? What would a phoenix be doing here, in Verdantia of all places?” he asked incredulously. “And that boy—Oasis—he’s been here since birth. Didn't he take the Whispering Exams? You said so yourself.”He leaned forward, expression skeptical.“And why would anyone from the Phoenix Clan abandon Phoenix Peak to live in a human kingdom?”Elara didn’t waver.“I understand your doubt. But still—it’s a possibility we cannot dismiss. In Phoenix Peak, there exists a Volacris Clan... and
Chapter 284: As if you are human anyway.
Verdant Forest — Hours Before the Heavenly Barrow’s ConclusionShkk!A gleam of steel arced through the air, the tip of the blade lodging cleanly through the shrieking face of a Bloodthorn Goblin, its grotesque body collapsing with a thud into the mossy underbrush."That must be the last of them," muttered one of the guards of the Ripe Fruit Merchant Association, flicking the goblin’s blackened blood from his sword."They’re like vermin," another guard grunted, kicking aside a twitching limb. "Persistent little bastards."The skirmish had been brief but vicious, the caravan constantly beset by these mutated pests as they trekked deeper through the ever-shadowed undergrowth of Verdantia’s most ancient forest.But while the guards caught their breath, Oasis sat still atop his Equinore, eyes half-lidded, his expression distant.No one noticed.His mind was elsewhere—not in the blood-drenched foliage around them, nor in the creaking caravans or bantering guards.His thoughts were north.A
Chapter 283: The Aftermath of the Heavenly Barrow.
As the final echo of the Heavenly Carp's bellow faded into silence, the suffocating tension that had gripped the Heavenly Barrow began to lift like a dissipating mist.A solemn, almost holy quietude settled over the area. The once roaring chasm of chaos now breathed with an eerie calm.The surviving cultivators, only 200 from the thousands who had entered, sat in silence upon their leaf platforms, eyes closed in lotus positions, their bodies healed and blood dried on their clothing yet their spirits surging with newfound clarity.The emerald glow that had once enveloped the leaf domes faded, leaving behind only lingering trails of celestial energy.Then, like cracks of thunder in reverse, bursts of mana surged from various individuals as they opened their eyes—some trembling, some overwhelmed, some with tears rolling down their faces.For many, this moment was a rebirth.But not Zane.His eyes remained firmly shut, his body wrapped in a cocoon of silver-blue mana, thick and dense like
