Chapter 1687 - That Abandoned Temple



Chapter 1687 - That Abandoned Temple

Davis had Pia in his arms while looking at Iesha, who remained dumbfounded for some time before she patted her bosoms as though she survived a calamity.

"Did I just travel in a spatial tunnel I heard about in the legends...?"

Hearing her astonished voice, Davis smiled and threw Pia towards her.

"Ah~"

Pia Noel crashed into Iesha, causing her to flinch before she captured her with her arms.

"Hold my slave for me."

"Davis, you’re so mean...."

Davis stretched his hands while Iesha pouted, inclining her head to look at the teary-eyed Pia in her arms. She stared at him before returning her gaze to Pia, wondering why he threw her to her when she was no longer as receptive as before.

"Follow me."

Davis left in a direction while Iesha sighed and piggy-backed Pia as she followed Davis.

The moment they exited the barrier blocking the spatial tunnel, the entire atmosphere began to chill. It was as if Planet Earth was beginning to undergo the process of entering the Ice Age.

Watching it, Davis quickly warned.

"Quick, control your spirit aura."

Iesha did as he said and blinked.

"Why is there no heaven and earth energy here?"

She thought that the omnipresent heaven and earth energy was lacking near the spatial tunnel due to various reasons such as formations sucking it clean but who would’ve thought that there was nothing present in this vast region, making her head reel in confusion.

Exactly what kind of place was this?

She couldn’t help but use her spirit sense to survey, and her pupils instantly dilated as her spirit sense instantly covered the entire Planet Earth in an instant.

"Wha- hu- humans...!? Why- Why are the so many humans, and all of them are mortals?"

She retracted her spirit sense as her expression became confused. Like Davis, she also censored the parts she didn’t want to view, so there was no harm done, but she couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a single magical beast, much fewer cultivators.

All she saw were mortals and beasts that were called domesticated and wild animals.

"Is this the true Renegade Human Shelter?"

"Pfft~"

Davis couldn’t help but almost laugh. He looked at her and shook his head.

"Cangjie, the legendary, mythical person who claimed to be the official historian of the Yellow Emperor...?"

Davis’s lips twitched as he recalled this legendary figure from Ancient China. There was a whole story about how he introduced Chinese characters to Ancient China but to think that he was an invader who entered this place and had his cultivation stripped along with many others.

Davis couldn’t help but shudder at this fact.

Was this how many languages came to be born on this planet, including legends of dragons and phoenixes portrayed differently of different folklore? Was this why the Grand Sea Continent had similar architectures to the one found all over Planet Earth?

Moreover, Cangjie himself was said to have four eyes. Was he a fey?

Many questions popped in his head, but he continued to read the last paragraph.

[I hope you’re one of my descendants. Otherwise, I am a complete failure who arrived here with the others to compete for this ridiculous treasure that almost every apex power has an eye on, and all that suffering I endured will be in vain. Due to the seal on my soul, I cannot reveal much, but I do hope that you, my descendant, can surpass my level and become a #$%^&.]

"Alright, who censored this...?"

Davis’s expression looked shocked yet astonished at the same time.

Every apex power was after this ridiculous treasure?

Is it what he thinks it is?

Moreover, this person named Tian Cangjie, his origin...

Should he call this person Ancestor?

No, he was no longer Tian Long anymore, although he doubted if he was even his descendant in the first place as legend has it that his descendants took the surname ’Shi’.

Nevertheless, the doubt that lingered on his mind, how this spatial tunnel connected to the Grand Sea Continent became clear. So it was carved by this powerful entity, and the fact that the last word was incomprehensible to him meant that the so-called master of this world obviously vetted this wall of carving.

However, some of his questions were answered.

He confirmed that someone was overhead, perhaps watching him even now.

"I don’t mind being watched, but I hope you’re not a man because I would rather have a beauty watch me. You know how I am, right?"

Davis smirked as he loudly spoke with the intent of threat but receiving no answer, he shrugged.

"Why don’t you say something? Come on, I’ve already gone through life and death twice, and if you wanted, you could’ve taken this so-called treasure away from me, so why don’t you show yourself already?"

"..."

Only silence pervaded the atmosphere while Davis narrowed his eyes, receiving no reply again.

"Hmph!"

He harrumphed before looking around, trying to find if he could find anything else, but in truth, his heart was a mess as it was beating rapidly in distress.

Whatever existence this so-called master of the world was, it was probably stronger than the so-called Immortals he heard about. The thing about candidacy and everything else he learned from Isabella and Clara. Everything pointed to this existence having full power over this world he currently lived in.

After a whole minute, Davis received no answer, nor did he face any kind of pressure. He inwardly sighed in relief, wishing that this so-called master of the world was dead at this point before he walked out of the temple without encountering any danger, regrouping with Iesha, who seemed to have found the mortals who were supposedly hiding in a conference hall nearby.
