"Here, take it!"
Alex played with the Golden Bone in his hand for a while before tossing it toward the Sword-wielding young man.
The sword-wielding young man hurriedly caught the Golden Bone and looked at Alex in surprise. He didn't expect Alex to return the Golden Bone to him.
What he doesn't know was that Alex was not interested in this Golden Bone. He already has his weapon, which is the Heavy Earth Sword. After breaking the seal, the sword will definitely evolve to Emperor Rank or might even Void Rank.
"In fact, I came here specifically for this Golden Bone. I didn't expect to meet you here. Since you have not taken the Golden Bone and gave it to me, I will now bring you to a place where a few treasures are hidden."
The sword-wielding young man had an earnest expression on his face. He seemed to be giving it his all.
"Alright, lead the way!" Alex nodded his head and spoke. He saw that the sword-wielding youth's face was pale white. It was obvious that he had lost too much blood. He staggered into the hall.
After a while, the young man brought him to a secret chamber. This chamber only had a single table, and on it were calligraphy brush, ink, and paper. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
"This brush has accompanied a Void King Stage martial warrior for his entire lifetime. With it in my hands, I will be able to gain some insights, which will greatly help me with my cultivation!" The sword-wielding young man picked up a brush and gave it to Alex.
When Alex held it in his hand, he instantly felt a string of images appear in his mind, which made his soul tremble. Those scenes were the insights Void King Stage martial warrior had towards the martial way!
Alex didn't expect to find such a treasure here. What surprised him the most was the sword-wielding young man. He actually knows about all these treasures. It seems like this person's background is not as simple as being a spy for the Flame Dragon Clan.
"There's more here!"
The sword-wielding youth picked up the painting again and began to explain it in detail.
After a while, under the sword-wielding youth's lead, Alex had a rich harvest. Not only had he obtained three precious medicinal pills, but he had also obtained a lot of treasures left behind by the Void King Stage martial warrior.
After spending some time together, Alex got to know his name. His name was Oleg Formin.
At this time, Oleg's gaze became somewhat deep as he said: "Let me bring you to a place."
"Where are we going?" Alex asked in curiosity.
"Come with me." Oleg didn't say anything. He just turned and flew in a direction. Alex closely followed behind him.
Half an hour later, Oleg brought Alex to a cliff. There was dense fog ahead, and the lighting was quite dim.
"Where is this place?" Alex asked out of curiosity. He was surprised to find such a place inside a big palace. It was even more marvelous than the previous building he had been to. Furthermore, what shocked him the most was the Devouring Flame inside his body. It was actually quivering at this time.
Alex tried to communicate with the Devouring Flame, but the Devouring Flame was like a child, it was unable to talk or express anything clearly. Even so, Alex managed to understand a few things. It turned out that the gate which is hiding the Stone of Tomorrow is very near.
Oleg replied, "This is the place discovered by the elders of Star Seeing Tower. It is said that there is a very high chance for the Stone of Tomorrow to be hidden somewhere here.
"Eh? Something seems to be happening underground!" Alex suddenly felt the ground trembling and spoke.
Oleg nodded and replied: "Yes, it is a mechanism. Whenever someone comes here, the mechanism will activate on its own."
Boom!!
Suddenly, the ground a hundred meters away was blasted apart as a massive object rose up.
Alex looked over and saw a stone pillar rise up. It was over 300 meters wide and had all kinds of characters engraved on it. There were also many talisman papers attached to it, which fluttered in the wind, creating rustling sounds.
"What is this?" Alex looked at the stone pillar as he asked in confusion.
Oleg's expression was complicated as he said, "The Stone Pillar. It is said that this pillar can be a great opportunity and it might also be a curse."
After that, Oleg looked at Alex and asked: "What will you do? Will go up the pillar?"
Alex looked at the pillar and replied without hesitation: "Of course, I'll go!"
After saying this, he immediately flew up along the Stone Pillar. Oleg followed behind closely.
The Stone Pillar was very tall. Alex and Oleg flew upwards along it for a long time, however, they soon found that the Stone Pillar did not seem to have an end.
"Don't let your minds be swayed; if you stop, it might be over for you." Oleg's voice sounded out in Alex's mind, making him even more resolute to reach the top and see what is there.
Now that things had come to this, there was no way to retreat anyway.
After flying for who knows how long, Alex suddenly felt that he had broken through a formless membrane. Following this, his surroundings changed, and they came to a starry sky. There was a stone stage ahead, wrapped with rainbow light.
Soon, they landed on the stone stage.
"Be careful," Oleg reminded him to be careful. Then they started looking around warily.
This stone stage was not very big, and it was only about ten meters wide. There was nothing at the center; it was completely empty.
The rainbow light around the stage continued to freely flow about.
"There is nothing here!" Alex frowned and spoke. He could not see anything, nor could he sense anything with his spiritual sense.
Oleg walked about at the edge of the stone stage and did not reply.
"Crack!"
The sound of a mechanism activating could be heard as a stone pillar half a meter wide rose up at the center of the stone stage. The outside of the stone pillar began to crumble, revealing a huge square. There seemed to be a huge statue here before, but now, it was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Oleg finally said: "There used to be a huge statue before. But it was also taken away by that group of demonic cultivators. According to them, that statue was the statue of a demonic god. That's why they brought the statue away and escaped from the Middle Land. From that time onward, they seemed to have vanished."
"Many people tried to look for them because they thought that the statue might have some sort of inheritance of some big figure, however, it is as if those group of demonic cultivators has completely vanished not only from the Middle Land but from the Three Cultivation Lands."
But Star Seeking Tower's view is different on this matter. According to them, the statue used to be a human just like them. That statue might even used to be a very powerful expert; however, it was cursed after climbing to the top of this pillar, causing him to be petrified and turn into the stone statue.
Hearing this, Alex suddenly thought of the Extreme Void Stage martial warrior, the Blue Monarch. According to the description of Devouring Flame, the Blue Monarch was cursed when he was looking for the Stone of Tomorrow. He had reached the gate, which is hiding the Stone of Tomorrow, but failed to enter and was cursed instead, causing him to turn into a stone statue.
Alex looked in front of him and saw a pair of huge Feet Imprints. From the feet's imprint, it seemed that the Blue Monarch might be a giant. But there are many cultivation techniques that could let a person increase their size immediately with great improvement in strength for a short period of time. The Blue Monarch might have used this technique, and tried to break free from the curse but failed.
When Alex looked at the feet imprint deeply, an attribute panel appeared in front of him.
[Name: Feet Imprint of Blue Monarch!
Details: There used to be the statue of Blue Monarch standing here, however, it was brought away by a group of demonic cultivators who thought that the statue might be the statue of their demon god.
Before Blue Monarch completely turned into the statue because of the curse, he set up a Life Formation that completely hide the gate.
Note: Bring back the Statue of Blue Monarch and revive him. Life Formation is connected to his life. Only if he revives back could the Gate that is hiding the Stone of Tomorrow will reappear again.]
