Chapter 3355 Looking Around



3355 Looking Around

Davis searched the Aurora Cloud Gate's Main Sect Grounds for clues leading to the Research Department.

He didn't want to disturb Elder Aradiel Furiose unless it was required, as he was getting too much help from this person.

He explored the Aurora Cloud Gate, going to places he hadn't visited yet.

He had no luck in the Main Sect Grounds, so he went around, visiting islands that were reserved for disciples to train, like Energy Array Chambers that were used for cultivation, Trial Grounds that allowed disciples to test themselves and even comprehend Laws that were available there, Training Fields that allowed disciples to spar and hone their combat skills.

There were some places he couldn't go anymore due to not being a disciple, like the Sect Library, Forbidden Areas and Ancient Ruins that only open once in a period of years but certainly not in his time, and Divination Hall that kept even the slightest bit of karmic attacks away, disallowing karmic luck to fade and the massive Herb Gardens that supported the economy of the Aurora Cloud Gate.nOVE/lb-1n

Nonetheless, he continued to search.

He came across spiritual pools filled with heaven and earth energy and could hear the laughter of a lot of beautiful female sect disciples, causing him to instantly turn around and leave. He traversed across many courtyards and tranquil gardens present in the islands of the Elders.

He even saw Beast Taming Grounds that allowed disciples to bring their wild mounts and pacify them here with a wide variety of herbs available.

Davis was interested but not as much as searching for Guardian Elysian Veritas now.



On the way, he saw many statues and altars. The statues were particularly those of the Guardians, but Davis guessed those gazing at them certainly wouldn't be able to identify them unless they'd previously met the Guardians.

'An ingenious concealment formation is woven into these statues that distort the perspective of the viewer, disallowing them to recognize the Guardians easily...'

There were also some statues that he couldn't recognize, so Davis imagined that they could be previous Guardians of the Aurora Cloud Gate who chose to ascend or have died for a cause.

But while he was looking at them for a few seconds, he noticed someone was watching him from behind.

Turning to look around, he saw an azure-robed man with black hair floating a few centimeters above the ground.

The azure-robed man with black hair exuded an otherworldly aura, his robes flowing gently as if caught in an unseen breeze. His attire, a striking azure hue, seemed to shimmer with hints of ethereal patterns woven into the fabric, evoking the vastness of a clear sky on a serene day.

Clearly, the luxurious look of this robe was far more than anything he had seen in the Aurora Cloud Gate, which gave him some clues as to who this person could be.

However, what truly captivated Davis's attention was the two- colored dragon mask that adorned his face. Crafted with meticulous detail, the mask bore the intricate likeness of a dragon, its scales intricately carved with exquisite precision. One half of the mask shimmered with a radiant gold hue, while the other gleamed with a deep, iridescent silver, making him appear like quite the mystery.

Looking at this person's enigmatic gaze, Davis narrowed his eyes. "Do you have something to say to me?"



The azure-robed man stared at Davis, not answering the question. Davis saw that there was no response even after three seconds and turned to look around, continuing to view the history of the Aurora Cloud Gate through the statues of its Guardians. However, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he stepped to the side.

*Rip!~*

A glowing spear ripped the space beside him as it shot straight toward the statues.

As soon as the glowing spear neared, a barrier lit up, trying to protect the statues.

"Then tea."

"Perhaps later."

"Aiyo, I don't know when I will be able to meet you again as you will be leaving, and I will also be busy. Come with me. I swear you won't regret it."

The azure-robed man raised his hand and waved, causing Davis to inwardly grumble as he didn't have time to be swept away in this sudden event.

However, he thought otherwise.

The other party was a Patriarch, so he guessed that he could use this occasion to ask about Guardian Elysian Veritas's whereabouts. At least, he felt that it should be better than searching around aimlessly.

"Alright."

"Perfect!"



Nodding his head, Davis followed the Patriarch to his residence, which was just two islands away.

It could be seen that the Patriarch probably got wind of his strange aura and came to see him.

On the Patriarch's Island, the mansion seemed to be situated atop a hill, surrounded by lush, towering trees that cloak the mansion in an air of secrecy. The architecture was naturally similar to that of all the other mansions in the Aurora Cloud Gate, but the structure was a blend of elegant azure and ebony hues.

The courtyard was encircled by stone walls adorned with ancient runes and protective formations. A tranquil pond was on the way when they passed by a small bridge, shimmering with azure water, while there were also cherry blossom trees and exotic flora lining every other pathway.

Davis noticed there was not a single guard, which meant that there should be some kind of formation spirit looking after the residence. However, there were quite a few servants who received them, so he guessed the Patriarch was the Patriarch for quite some time.

They reached the main hall, and Davis was made to be seated there before the Patriarch brought some exotic tea herbs from the storage deep in the mansion.

Just as Davis was starting to sip the tea with much boredom, he was taken aback as this tea felt like a delicacy instead of a beverage. It was even good for his soul, causing Davis to be full of approval as he nodded his head thrice.

"I knew you would like it! This is..."

As the Patriarch began explaining the origin of this tea herb, which Davis had no interest in and wanted to move on to some other topic, two people walked into the hall without any notice.

Instantly, the Patriarch stood up and cupped his hands towards them.



"Father, mother. Did you two have a good look at the mansion?"

"Not bad," The other man said, "There's also- wait. Emperor of Death, you have also paid a visit to my third son?"

Davis blinked as he turned his gaze to both parties, wondering what the hell was going on.

The Patriarch of the Aurora Cloud Gate was the third son of Guardian Elysian Veritas and Guardian Zera Nullheart...?
