Chapter 548: Mysterious Figure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The foreign race member had a murderous aura, but the waiter was not afraid at all. Instead, he welcomed him with a smile.

Mei Changge’s eyes flickered slightly. This Fallen Phoenix City was very strange. The foreign races and humans coexisted and got along harmoniously. It was as if a pair of large hands were controlling the peace in Fallen Phoenix

City.

“Fallen Phoenix Daoist, huh?”

Mei Changge smiled, picked up the Hero Wine brought by the waiter, and drank a few mouthfuls.

Although this Hero Wine was a Spirit Wine, there was not much spiritual energy inside. It could not even compare to the White Jade Lotus Wine in the dynasty.

It should be brewed from ordinary spiritual plants. “The Sea of Heavens? It doesn’t look that simple!”

Mei Changge thought about what the waiter had said.

From the waiter, he knew that this waiter should also be from the stargate, but he had appeared in the Sea of Heavens.

When he pondered on the shattered stargate and the disappearance of all creatures and plants by the mysterious force after those worlds crumbled, he surmised that they must have all fallen into the Sea of Heavens.

“Maybe…”

Mei Changge’s eyes were filled with speculation. If the world he was in was also shattered, he might be brought to this world by that mysterious power.

“What does Wang Yao have to do with the Sea of Heavens? Why did she leave me the Five Elements Star Jade?”

“Or rather, she has already come to the Sea of Heavens?”

Thoughts sounded in Mei Changge’s mind, but he quickly put them aside.

If he wanted to know more, the only way was to meet Fallen Phoenix Daoist.

As for the waiter’s words, they only provided Mei Changge with a thought.

After all, the waiter was only in the Innate realm and not even a Transcendent. It was normal that he didn’t know much.

Mei Changge stayed in the inn for a while longer and listened to the conversations around him. Most of them were discussing the Great Ming Dynasty. He could not help but shake his head slightly.

After leaving behind a few Blessed Stones, he walked out.

As for his destination, it was the Fallen Phoenix Residence that the waiter had mentioned.

After Mei Changge entered the Sea of Heavens, his second spirit body, Mei Wuyan, had arrived outside the Star Tomb.

“Is this the Star Tomb that my main body mentioned?”

Mei Wuyan hovered in the air. Beneath his feet was a huge mountain range. Furthermore, he noticed that this mountain range seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious power. He even had the illusion that this mountain range was like a sleeping behemoth.

The golden wings flickered in the sunlight and flapped in the air.

“As expected, we can’t get through!”

Mei Wuyan flew toward the other side of the mountain range. In the end, it was as if he had entered an endless cycle. He could not fly over at all. It was obvious that he was affected by something.

“In that case, I’ll go down and take a look!”

After observing for a while, he discovered that the mountain range below was like a huge rat that had dug many holes. There were holes everywhere in the mountain range.

Mei Wuyan knew that these holes were where the tombs were.

He even saw martial arts sect disciples entering a certain tomb.

“Looks like Zhang Zhenren has sensed the benefits of this Star Tomb.”

Mei Wuyan smiled when he saw a disciple of the Wudang Sect in a Daoist robe.

Zhang Zhenren was the first to notice this Star Tomb. Furthermore, he did not bring his disciples to the Nether Battlefield to earn contribution points. This meant that Zhang Zhen had seen greater benefits in this tomb.

Mei Wuyan did not care what it was. Then, he randomly chose a tomb. His body instantly turned into golden quicksand and headed toward the tomb.

As for Lu Shan and the other Mandrill Guards, he was not worried. After all, the Mandrill Guards were the trump card of the dynasty. Their strength was not inferior to the Golden Crow Guards.

“This strange smell…”

When Mei Wuyan’s body appeared in the tomb, he returned to his Golden Sand Race appearance and noticed a strange smell in the tomb.

Although it was very faint and ordinary people might not notice it, he could smell it.

“Dark aura?”

Mei Wuyan’s eyes circulated with gold and black as if he had sensed something.

“It’s very similar to the Darkness Origin, but it also contains a hint of vitality.

This place is not that simple!”

Mei Wuyan’s heart skipped a beat. This darkness and sense of vitality made him especially curious. He even had a faint premonition that his opportunity to enter the Immortal realm lay in this thing that emitted a strange smell.

“In this direction?”

After distinguishing slightly, Mei Wuyan quickly determined a direction. Although there were many passageways in the tomb, after he confirmed the source of the smell, he did not hesitate at all.

After passing through one tunnel after another, he did not encounter any monsters. He did not even see a single Shapeshifter.

It was as if the tunnel he was in had blocked the Shapeshifters.

Drip!

Drip!

Suddenly, the sound of water dripping entered Mei Wuyan’s ears. It was like the sound of water dripping onto rocks.

It was crisp, pleasant, and attractive.

Following the sound of the water droplets, Mei Wuyan quickly saw the source of the sound.

At the end of the tunnel, a small pool came into view.

The pool was not big, only about three feet wide. However, its color was dark, like oil.

Above the pool, a massive horn resembling that of a beast hung upside down from the cave ceiling. The sound of dripping water came from the black liquid dripping down from it.

“No, it’s not the smell of this pool.”

Mei Wuyan frowned slightly. He looked at the dark pool in front of him with a puzzled expression.

This was the deepest part of the tunnel, and it was already the end. There was no other way.

Drip!

Drip!

The water droplets were still dripping with a pleasant sound.

“Who’s there?!”

Suddenly, Mei Wuyan’s vision blurred. He saw a figure suddenly appear in the pool, but it quickly disappeared again.

It was as if it was just an illusion.

However, Mei Wuyan was certain that he was not seeing things. A figure had indeed appeared in the pool just now.

Drip!

The sound of water dripping was still echoing in the cave.

“If I’m not mistaken, that figure should be a woman?”

Mei Wuyan’s face took on a nostalgic expression. In an instant, his figure flickered and vanished. Strangely, his attire matched the color of the pool.

Nonetheless, he was certain that the figure he had seen was that of a woman. Gold and black energies swirled in Mei Wuyan’s eyes like the Taiji symbol. The forces of golden sand and death intertwined within him, causing his eyes to gleam with divine light. “Pool… Beast horn…

“That is…”

Mei Wuyan looked from the pool to the pillar above his head that looked like a beast’s horn. He could vaguely see three black words on the horn.

“Star Pool?”

Upon seeing the words clearly, Mei Wuyan became even more puzzled.

Although the water was dark, he did not feel any energy fluctuations from it.

In other words, the black pool was not something similar to spiritual energy.

Mei Wuyan approached and lowered his head to look at the black pool. His reflection rippled as the water dripped..
