Chapter 758 - The Ancient Blue Family Part V

Arriving in a strange world completely blinded by mist, Alex took a glimpse of his surroundings, finding nothing but white translucent particles.

"Where is this?" Alex muttered to himself while activating his Spirit Eyes, trying to see the mist through. Unfortunately, he only found himself surrounded by the golden color of Spiritual Energy. "There is simply nothing but energy here. I don't find a single object or living beings."

Suddenly, the golden token in his hand flashed a bright yellow color, illuminating the entire fog.

"Wait! This light seems to be absorbing the energy instead, and everything is stored inside the token." Alex furrowed his eyebrows before examining the token instead. "I can see the array inside this token, but I don't seem to have the knowledge behind it. According to my previous experience, there are two possibilities.

"First. I don't have the knowledge because even a thousand people can't even cover the entire universe and absorb all their knowledge, let alone a single person. After all, the universe is too big for us to understand… Or at least, that's what I learned back on Earth.

"The second reason would be the lack of understanding of a new array. I assume that the knowledge imparted to my head came from a few thousand years ago. It was also the reason why I couldn't know some of the knowledge in this world. They were just too outdated.

"Though I am still thankful since most of the knowledge seems to have not changed that much. The only thing I need to do now is to learn what kind of array this is…" As Alex uttered those words, he observed the array inside the token with his Spirit Eyes, finding every single symbol inside.

Unfortunately, what he could find was limited. "I know most of these symbols and their use, but it's hard to grasp the usage of this array. I only know one of them, and it is to absorb this mist filled with Spiritual Energy."

Alex contemplated for a moment, wondering what he needed to do inside. The token was still glowing and chomping the Spiritual Energy as if it was alive, so he thought about a possibility. "Anyway, I can gather Spiritual Energy from here. From my speculation, I can seem to use this token to gather the Spiritual Energy around and use it to enhance my power."

Suddenly, a deep voice resounded across the region, startling Alex with its pacifying tone. "That's right. To think there is a talented son-in-law in my Ancient Blue Family. It's been a few thousand years since I could see a man of your caliber. This is truly a pleasant thing to see."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows, released the shield from his Spiritual Weapons, and scanned the area with his Spirit Eyes. It was at this time he finally found another source of energy. This green-colored ball slowly descended to him and approached him with a gentle energy.

However, Alex didn't miss what this energy called him just now. Son-in-law? The Ancient Blue Family's son-in-law? Why would this energy call him with such a title?

"…" In the end, he remained silent because he felt this problem might not be as simple as he predicted to be.

As the energy got closer and closer to him, Alex could finally see its true form that had been covered by the mist. It turned out to be a middle-aged man with the same aura of Shakdi and every other God and Goddess in the Ancient Ruin.

"Are you…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows and raised his defensive stance.

"Ho! A sharp sense and fast reaction speed. Raising your guard in an instant after facing an unknown despite being in your home field. Truly remarkable." This green-colored translucent man nodded with a satisfied expression. "Let me introduce myself first. I am Choong Duy. The founder of the Ancient Blue Family. I was a former rank 9 Array Master. What is your name?"

Alex checked his intention first before giving his real name instead of a fake one. "Alexander Sirius, and I am just a mere outsider.���

"!!!" Choong Duy also noticed the hidden meaning in his words and frowned. "What? A mere outsider? Did those bastards in the Ancient Blue Family let go of such a genius? Seeing your cultivation and sensing your age alone makes me tremble in fear. Yet those guys… Who is your spouse? I will ask my wife to beat her!"

"As I said before… I am a mere outsider. I don't have a single relationship with your Ancient Blue Family. The pat… The former patriarch asked me to go inside this place and get the inheritance about the promised technique." Alex shrugged.

He showed no fears against such a powerful soul. He had seen plenty of them in the Ancient Ruin, so another one wouldn't be a problem. At the same time, he could simply kill him with the help of his spirits.

"What?! Did my clan decline so much to the point they want you to come in? No… When I met the previous guy who came in, I knew that he wasn't a simple man. Yet he asked you to enter…" The man seemed to have noticed a different answer that lies behind the intent of Davi. "I see. It's not that my younger generations are unworthy… It's just you are too outstanding."

Alex didn't agree nor disagree.

"Still… What kind of condition did they promise you to get inside this place?"

"Nothing. This is just an extra condition from me." Alex shook his head.

"Hmm? Do you have trouble outside?"

"I have… But I don't think I need to tell you, right?"

"Fair enough. Even if you satisfy my curiosity, I can't even do anything. In fact, the world will just erase this soul of mine." Choong Duy nodded before glancing at Alex's weapons. "Though you are really a man filled with mystery. If I am not wrong, the weapons in your hands are Spiritual Weapons. They are weapons that have a will residing inside them.

"This kind of weapon shouldn't appear in this world and all those around our world… Along with the worlds that connected with us. And yet you have the weapons… This is very strange. Wait! I think there is a world that has such a technique to create a Spiritual Weapon. The world that only has three races."

"!!!" Alex never thought that the man instantly recognized the weapons and those from the special realm on the Sacred Continent.

"Now that I think about it, I can sense something similar to Array. If I am not wrong, this is called Rune in that world. What is your relationship with that world? I know that the two worlds shouldn't be connected, so are you an intruder of this world? No, have the world got invaded?"

Choon Duy released a part of his Spiritual Energy. Although it wasn't enough to pressure Alex, it was enough to show him how serious the matter is.

Alex simply shook his head. "I helped them, and this is how they repaid me."

"You have no connection with them then? Wait! I heard that there were remnants of them on the Sacred Continent. They were just a peace-loving race that would only act if they were bullied, and that happened a few thousand years ago… Did they make the weapons for you?"

"Yes."

"I see. From what I understand, you need another race's blood… Monster blood can be a replacement, but they need a high enough intelligence to do so. Seeing how you can react so fast… There is only one place that meets your requirement. It's the world that is connected to the Northern Continent. And from what I can see, there are Dragon and Phoenix auras inside those weapons of yours… What a lucky guy."

When he was talking like this, Alex felt uncomfortable. It was like that this man had a boundless knowledge that was enough to pry him open.

He might be able to stop him from blabbering as long as he released his Spirit Crown that seemed to have a huge impression on those Gods and Goddesses, but it would also blow his identity away. In that case, he ended up letting this guy run his mouth.

"You are indeed a man with many mysteries inside you�� To think that my Ancient Blue Family couldn't have you, such a shame… That's why I have a proposal for you?"

"Hmm?" Alex frowned. If this were about a marriage thingy, he would reject it instantly. As for the others, he would look at the pros and cons first.

"How about a marri—"

"I refuse." Before the man said with that carefree smile of his, Alex rejected him with a serious expression. "If this is what you want to talk about, I would like to continue what I need to do and recover the technique as soon as possible."

"Tch!" The man shrugged. "Fine. Joke aside, I have another proposal for you."

"What is it?"

"Follow me first." Choong Duy shook his head and flew away.

Alex had no other clue, so he followed him a bit farther to make sure he could react to any possible action.

Choong Duy also understood his intention and sighed in disappointment. Whether he was disappointed because the Ancient Blue Family couldn't have this guy or the fact that he didn't trust him yet, it was still a disappointment.

After flying for so long, Choong Duy suddenly rose to the sky, escaping from the mist that surrounded them. Alex also followed him to the sky and saw the entire region with his eyes. The look was spectacular.

The ground was filled with dirt. The scenery was green because of the grass, but there wasn't a single tree living inside. The white mist covered the entire region, except the place that he had gone through before.

He finally noticed that the token also dimmed down after leaving the mist area. It seemed that the token only reacted to the mist.

"Let's go to that place." Choong Duy pointed his finger at something in Alex's back.

Alex turned around and finally found the only tree inside this region.

'Huge!' This was the first impression he had when he looked at the tree. He had seen the world trees twice, or at least that was what they claimed. However, their size couldn't be compared to this.

The branch that pierced the sky and the leaves that beat the cloud, it was a magnificent tree that couldn't be compared to any of the trees in the world.

"That's the only tree we can grow in the past few years. Follow me first…"

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and opened his mouth in surprise. 'The tree is alive? It's not an illusion.'

He didn't say anything and followed Choong Duy to the tree before a green dragon flew out of the tree and greeted him with a gentle voice that was not befitting its form. 'Welcome home, Darling. Is this the guy?'

The dragon then turned into a human form.

Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he watched the green dragon gradually changed its appearance into a beautiful young woman that appeared to be 27 or 28 years old. She had long light-green hair, running through her back. Her dragon wings were still there, but it soon vanished into thin air as if it shrunk to emptiness.

"Welcome to my humble home. Still, I can't help but sense a familiar aura within you." She squinted her eyes, scanning him from up and down before Choong Duy gave the explanation.

"He is not from the Ancient Blue Family, Chavel. However, he seems to have a connection with your world."

"Ah! Now that you say it, I can sense the dragon aura inside him and a phoenix aura along with it." Chavel covered her open mouth with her hand. "The aura I sensed earlier must come from the Dragon Strengthening Technique from my Royal Family. I see…"

"Chavel… It seems we have a lot of talk with this guy. For now, let's invite him first to our house. I also want to request something from him." Choong Duy stopped her and flew to the tree.

"Sure." Chavel gently nodded before smiling at Alex. "Please come in."

Alex was curious about this and followed them.
