Chapter 944: Bauhinia Island
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Inside the control room of the spaceship, Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor were looking at the outside through a virtual scene. One gale after another blew everything they touched, as if they were pythons playing among the stars.
"This is the legendary ancestral god secret region!" True Yan Emperor was amazed.
"The ancestral god secret region is one of the most dangerous secret regions in the universe," Luo Feng said with wonder. "It's the same size as a universe country, and dangerous areas are everywhere. Even universe knights can't manage to survive it."
There were various levels and areas of the secret regions. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor would certainly research the region, as they had known the coordinates. They were startled to find out that the land of inheritance was located in the ancestral god secret region. As a top-tier secret region filled with hazards and ordinary dangers that could kill a universe knight. In some extremely risky areas, even masters of the universe needed to be careful.
Its diameter was 160 million light years, and it took 200 million years to travel in sub-lightyear speed. One might need to start the adventure from the birth of the universe to pay the entire region even a cursory inspection. Besides, no one dared to do that.
Mysterious! Dangerous! Off-limits! These were the words that best described the ancestral god secret region.
"One of the most common things in this secret region is 'Hei Chong Whirlpool,'" said True Yan Emperor. "Even a small whirlpool can severely injure a universe knight. And a large one can kill them for good. Look. Those are the Hei Chong Whirlpools ahead of us."
"There are more of them at the back," said Luo Feng.
True Yan Emperor turned around and saw a whirlpool that was billions of kilometers long running through the stars. If the whirlpools at the front were like pythons, and the one at the back was hundreds of millions of times mightier.
True Yan Emperor was stupefied. "This is the Hei Chong whirlpool at the periphery. Only the one at the outer right is so enormous."
"We've arrived," Luo Feng said and nodded his head.
The spaceship slowed down and stopped. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor flew out.
Among the stars were the Hei Chong Whirlpools chasing each other. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor stood amongst the stars and looked at each other.
"Where is it?" Luo Feng said, frowning. "I can't see the land of inheritance."
"Just wait," True Yan Emperor said.
Suddenly, the space twisted and sucked them in like a series of swirls.
"Teleportation?" said Luo Feng.
Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor thought of this, and everything became clear. They were still both standing in hollow space, but the scene afar was breathtaking. The colorful river was running, emanating a mystical power that was highly enticing. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor both possessed strong wills and realized something was wrong.
"Quick enough," they heard a cold voice say.
They turned around. An eight-meter-high rock undying stood in the hollow. He was dressed in a fiery armor and was green like an emerald. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor realized he was of the Fei Cang Clan, one of the rock creatures.
Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor were shocked, as they hadn't realized anything else was here.
It's a universe knight, Luo Feng thought. Only a universe knight can teleport without letting us recognize it.
Even I can't sense it, True Yan Emperor thought, surprised.
"I'm the guide of Ancestral God School," the knight said. "Give me the token, humans. Or you'll die with it."
Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor both felt like they were trapped in a fire, and Luo Feng felt like a boat adrift, lost at sea.
The guide of the school? he thought.
There were gods, beast gods, deified generals, and prophets within the school, and prophets were the weakest. They were merely as powerful as the weakest universe knights. However, this creature of Fei Cang Clan emanated a force that was irresistible.
Teacher, is he a general? Luo Feng asked mentally.
It should be, True Yan Emperor answered.
They took out the tokens anyway.
"The tokens are rare," the knight said with a smile. "No wonder the human race is one of the top six races. Sending two people with tokens at one time is impressive, indeed. Come with me."
The knight was flying with Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor aside.
"Do you see that?" The knight pointed to the dreamy and colorful river.
They both nodded.
"Come and look at it closer." The knight teleported them to beside the river.
"This is…?" Luo Feng held his breath.
It was no river; on the contrary, it was composed of auroras of five different colors. He could still see the river shape from afar, whereas he could only feel its boundlessness standing beside it.
"Is this the five-color aurora lake?" True Yan Emperor asked, thrilled at the idea.
"You do know something," the knight complimented him. "Yes, it is indeed the five-color aurora lake."
"A lake?" Luo Feng was bewildered and trying to look to the end of the river.
"Of course, it's a lake," the knight explained. "You see it as a river only because you're standing on the same level of it. However, if you fly above and overlook it, you'll see a circular lake. This lake has a diameter of ten light years and is almighty. One aurora can severely injure a universe knight, and it's constituted by countless rays of auroras. It's one of the most forceful invaluable treasures in the universe."
Both Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor were dazed. Even one aurora was this powerful?
"This lake is the guarding invaluable treasure of the Ancestral God School," the knight continued. "Who will dare to trespass with such an invaluable treasure around?"
"One of the most powerful invaluable treasures? Guarding invaluable treasure?" True Yan Emperor sighed.
"No wonder the Ancestral God School is the first power of the universe." Luo Feng recalled his star tower instead.
There were countless auroras on the surface of the lake, and together, it served as the guarding treasure of the Ancestral God School. The spiral of the star tower, which was made up of sealing stars, was also precious, and together with the heavenly pillar, the star tower was also one of the most forceful invaluable treasures in the universe, according to Mountain Sitting Guest.
"What an eye-opener for me to see the five-color aurora lake," True Yan Emperor said.
"It's lucky enough for you even to take a look at an invaluable treasure of this level," the knight said, a bit proud. "There's another invaluable treasure of this level: star tower. That's something that can't be moved by literally anyone, and lots of the powerful ones in the universe still don't know the tower's real power."
"Star tower is also one of the most powerful invaluable treasures?" True Yan Emperor was shocked.
"It seems you don't know everything."
The knight shook his head. "Star tower is one of the easiest to see but also the most mystical invaluable treasures in the universe. Nobody's been able to figure out the mystery behind it, and nobody can take it away. It's been standing there forever."
"I'm done talking, and I'll take you to Bauhinia Island now," said the knight. With that, he teleported.
******
Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor felt a bit dizzy before getting to the edge of the lake. They were only a few hundred meters away from it. Each of the auroras was around 10,000 kilometers long, and its force made Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor shiver.
"Did you see that?" The knight pointed to the deep of the lake. "That's the Bauhinia Island."
"What? Inside the lake?" They looked in that direction. They could indeed see a blurry island, dim among the auroras.
"Come in." The knight flew directly inside.
"Go in? Even though the auroras are forceful?" True Yan Emperor couldn't help asking.
"Rest assured, this is one of the most powerful treasures in the universe, and it won't hurt anyone it recognizes," the knight said. "You both have the tokens, and thus, you'll both be fine."
True Yan Emperor looked at Luo Feng and said, "Student, I'll try first." And then he touched an aurora with his hands. The aurora encircled his arm like running water without attacking him.
The knight didn't say anything after seeing this. He had seen how careful and distrustful those heirs were.
"Let's go," True Yan Emperor said.
"Yes, teacher," Luo Feng said and followed him into the lake.
They felt like they were marching in a real lake, and the auroras comforted their bodies. The island became larger and larger as they approached it.
"This is Bauhinia Island, where your beast god heirs will reside on," the knight said just before they reached the island. "And this is the margin of the lake."
