Alex looked at the golden statue in front of him for some time but did not dare to touch it again. He just kept observing the statue.
Suddenly, he noticed the statue's eyes gleaming with a tinge of bright light before disappearing. At this moment, a small painting suddenly appeared out of nowhere in between Alex and the golden statue.
This painting was of a beautiful landscape. Most importantly, this painting seemed to be alive. The mountains, forest, river, and waterfall in the painting seemed too real to be just a painting.
The waterfall was falling, the river was flowing, forests were swaying with the soft blow of wind, and demonic beasts could be seen climbing the mountain, everything about this painting was too bizarre.
Everything seemed too alive.
Before Alex could do anything, the painting started swirling rapidly in the air and suddenly, it shot into Alex's body, instantly appearing inside Alex's dantian.
It was at this moment, a mysterious but very charming and intoxicating voice echoed in Alex's mind: "Little guy, you seem to be very far away. I think you are not in the True Essence Sky World."
"Who?" Alex was startled and jumped back. He was still observing the painting in his dantian when this voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Hehe, my name is Serah Hayat, the owner of the Statue in front of you." The same voice once again echoed in his mind.
Alex hurriedly looked at the Golden Statue of the beautiful lady. He found it extremely hard to believe that this statue was actually taken to him.
"Don't be too surprised, I can't talk for long because you are too far. You should keep this statue with you for the time being and return it to me after coming to the True Essence Sky World. With the help of that Landscape Painting, it'll be easy for you to achieve greatness.
That statue suddenly disappeared from my palace for some reason a long time ago, I didn't expect someone to activate the runes on that statue."
"Remember, no matter what happens, don't ever activate the runes of the statue again. Otherwise, if someone stronger sensed you spy on them, you'll die a terrible death there."
"Then... Let's meet later. Goodbye, little boy!"
The mysterious voice suddenly disappeared, and Alex came back to his senses. He looked at the statue and was astonished for some time. Then he chose to look at its attribute panel.
[Name: Statue of Purple Sky Empress.
Grade: Holy Rank Treasure.
Details: Many years ago, the ruler of Purple Sky Empire, Purple Sky Empress called six Celestial Craftsmen and made them create a statue for her using the Golden Space Stones that fell from the sky far in the past. After the statue was created, Purple Sky Empress personally engraved Holy Runes on the statue, making it obtain the ability to spy on others, no matter the distance.
If one doesn't have a location, then the Statue of Purple Sky Empress will make that person spy randomly.]
Alex was really shocked. He finally understood what happened earlier. The statue actually made him spy on that man and woman. He had not teleported to that strange place, he was still standing in front of the statue, it is just that the statue made him feel he has teleported and spied on those people.
Alex took a deep breath and then focused his attention on the painting in his dantian. Yet another attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Painting of Forgotten Land.
Grade: Holy Rank Treasure.
Details: There is a legend that in ancient times, True Essence Sky World used to be completely different from what it is today. However, a war of Divine Lords almost caused the destruction of this entire world. In the end, although the world wasn't destroyed, it was still shattered into three pieces, True Essence Sky World, Essence Sky World, and the Forgotten Land.
After shattering, the forgotten land was lost, No one was able to find the forgotten land again. Some rumor says that the forgotten land exists somewhere in the Valley of Death's depth. But it is still just a rumor, no one has been able to find the forgotten land.
A Holy Lord Stage scholar painted the Painting of Forgotten Land in remembrance of the Forgotten Land. This painting could make the circulation of energy inside dantian faster, it could also make a person's speed of energy absorption three times faster than the norm. Moreover, this painting could help the owner break any hurdle and bottlenecks in the path of martial arts to the Holy Lord Stage.]
Alex did not know what to say at this moment. This treasure really surprised him, more than the Statue of Purple Sky Empress.
[Replication Failed!]
[The Originator's Soul Force is not strong enough to replicate treasures of this level!]
[Replication Failed!]
[The Originator's Soul Force is not strong enough to replicate treasures of this level!]
Alex tried to replicate the Statue of Purple Sky Empress and the Painting of Forgotten Land but failed.
Well, he had already expected this.
Alex took a deep breath and fell into deep thoughts. He had yet again heard a new stage of cultivation, the Holy Lord Stage. Furthermore, the Holy Rank Treasures are also new to him.
He just has no idea if Celestial Rank Treasures are more valuable than Holy Rank Treasures or vice versa.
Taking a deep breath, Alex calmed his aura and the agitation in his heart. Then he stored the Statue of Purple Sky Empress into his spatial ring with a wave of his hand. After doing all these things, he took another look at the cave for the last time before leaving.
This maze, there seemed to be more to this maze than what it seemed on the surface. Alex was sure that this maze is definitely as simple as it is recorded in history. He also doubted if the Leader of Tribe of Tomorrow was really the one to create this maze.
After leaving the maze, Alex decided to walk towards the huge palace instead of teleporting there using his High Grade Space Talent.
Cedric walked into a courtyard and went straight to his master's secret room. Then he opened his master's secret room and walked down the stone steps.
Within the secret underground room, it was as bright as day. In the center of the secret room, High-Grade Spirit Stones had set up a Spirit Convergence Formation. From the formation, the fierce fire that was drawn out was burning incessantly.
Every piece of Spirit Stone's vitality had gathered into a long dragon. More than ten long dragons, together with a raging fire, had placed a copper slate above it. This slate was floating in the air and had a bright and resplendent surface. It was like the sun in the sky.
This was a treasure called Earth Fire Slate.
Cedric looked at the Spirit Stones on the ground and nodded his head. Then he pointed his finger. A ray of light shot out from his finger and instantly struck one of the Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stone that was embedded in the ground rolled twice before falling outside the formation.
The moment the key piece of Spirit Stone fell off, the Spirit Convergence Formation immediately lost its effect, and the Earth Fire Slate slowly landed on the ground which was burning with earth fire.
The Earth Fire Slate absorbs the earth fire and the spirit energy from the air and stores it. This treasure could help a person break the border between Crystal Transformation Stage and Martial King Stage.
Cedric waved his right hand and pushed the Earth Fire Slate out from the earth fire. He walked forward two steps and picked up the Earth Fire Slate from the ground.
This treasure absorbed the Earth Flame here all day and all night, but it did not burn his hand. Instead, it gave him an ice-cold feeling.
After leaving the Earth Fire, the Earth Fire Slate's brilliance was accumulated, and it became simple and unadorned.
However, Cedric could clearly feel enormous energy surging within the Earth Fire Slate.
Cedric caressed it and felt the energy inside the Earth Fire Slate and could not help but exclaim.
Earth Fire was an extremely powerful type of flame. It was formed by the heavens and the earth naturally, and it was extremely violent and difficult to control.
The artificer who made the Earth Fire Slate was really very capable. He actually found this kind of material that could contain earth fire.
Cedric kept his Earth Fire Slate and immediately left his master's secret room and went straight in a certain direction.
After walking for some time, he arrived in the medicinal field and entered the courtyard in the middle.
When he entered the courtyard, two people were already waiting there for him. One of them was a man while the other one was a woman.
These two people were Rayan and Shivika.
