Chapter 1213: Spying on the Secret
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Frankly speaking, even Braydon Neal couldn’t remain calm at the idea of eternal life.
Martial artists spent their lives chasing power that surpa.s.sed other living beings, and they sought to extend their lifespan with the increase of their cultivation realm.
An emperor could live for 700 years.
Now, that was a mind-boggling concept.
Ordinary folks in the outside world claimed that reaching one’s eighties was rare; they considered that as having lived a long life. However, martial emperors could live for 700 years – an age ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
Yet, even emperors harbored desires. If one were to offer emperors 7,000 more years to live, they would willingly submit and be a slave. Eternal life was an offer no one could refuse.
Braydon returned to Zinno Hotel. His eyes gleamed. “Luke, pack your things. We’re leaving tonight,” he said decisively.
“Got it!” Luke swiftly put on his clothes.
Lekan Yiga and Zahran Cwele had followed the duo back to the hotel. Zinno Hotel didn’t dare to stop them.
When the G.o.ds descended, Cor Demeksa and others had to kneel before them.
“Please enter the Oracle Palace, Young Divine Lord,” Lekan advised.
“Young Divine Lord, the Great Divine Priest is aware of the events that have unfolded,” Zahran added, holding a black stone tablet emitting a faint golden light – a transmission token.
It could send messages even from thousands of miles away. A stone tablet like this was worth a million small spirit stones.
Zahran, holding the tablet, broke out in a cold sweat. Remembering his prior disrespect, he said, “The Great Divine Priest wants to talk to the Young Divine Lord.”
“Great Divine Priest of the Oracle Palace!” Braydon expressed interest.
Holding the stone tablet, Braydon felt a cold sensation as its runes lit up, emitting a faint golden light that was as tall as a person.
The light was like a barrier, and a young man slowly appeared. He was donned in a purple gold crown and white robe. It was as if he was waiting for Braydon.
“Great Divine Priest!” Lekan and Zahran bowed respectfully upon seeing the young man.
“Oracle Palace’s Great Divine Priest, Jabir Rambau, greets the Young Divine Lord!” The supreme existence in charge of the Oracle Palace, the ruler of the five Ruins World, bowed respectfully.
Braydon remained silent.
In Braydon’s spiritual aperture, the green-clothed man said indifferently, “Jabir and the others are all pursuing the secret of immortality.”
“You’ve sealed yourself in a coffin. Don’t you want to find the secret of immortality?” Braydon asked.
“These things can only be left to fate. You should be careful when facing these people, but you don’t have to be too afraid. They don’t have the courage to kill you,” the green-robed man replied calmly.
The martial arts banished immortal had appeared. This signified that the descendants of the Divine Lord had entered the human world.
The targets all the G.o.ds had been pursuing had already shown themselves. Now, all the Great Divine Priests of the Oracle Palace were expected to follow the Divine Lord.
If the Great Divine Priest were to kill Braydon, all the G.o.ds would rally behind Braydon and consider the act a betrayal by Great Divine Priest Jabir. They might unite to attack and eliminate him together.
Jabir raised his head and said with reverence, “Young Divine Lord, you have walked out from the Ancestral Land and mastered martial arts. You are the descendant of the Divine Lord. The Oracle Palaces in the ruins regard the Ancestral Land as a sacred land. Young Divine Lord, you hail from the Ancestral Land. As such, there is no need for you to worry.”
“Bah, you’re lying!” Luke interrupted, mumbling.
“Doesn’t the secret of immortality smell good?” Luke continued.
“Luke!” Braydon frowned, instructing him to eat his cuc.u.mber quietly.
“When are you leaving?” Jabir asked calmly.
“I never said that I would go to the Oracle Palace. I’m afraid that if I go, I won’t be able to leave!”
Braydon expressed skepticism with his words.
Jabir remained unfazed and spoke slowly, “Young Divine Lord, you are from the Ancestral Land. You have mastered the strongest technique and are the master of the G.o.ds. With the existence of the Ancestral Land, who would dare to bully you?”
These words sounded convincing.
Braydon nearly bought it!
Had it not been for the green-clothed man’s warning about Great Divine Priests like Jabir who had sought the secret of immortality for years, he might have been more gullible.
However, Braydon was in the Small Divine City now. Even if he were to leave, he would return to the 14th ancient city.
He had no intention of going to the Oracle Palace!
“Do you know about the 14th ancient city?” Braydon inquired.
“G.o.ds are omniscient. We see all and hear all,” Jabir replied.
This old charlatan resembled the swindlers in the outside world.
“You are omniscient?” Braydon asked expressionlessly. “Do you know how old I am?”
This question left Jabir speechless.
He was dumbstruck!
How would he know how old Braydon was?
Luke, sitting on the bed, swung his legs and nibbled on a cuc.u.mber. He stated seriously, “My brother is twenty-one years old this year. I’m half a year older than him!”
“Look at how smart you are!”
Braydon glared at the little fool.
“I have a big brain,” Luke confidently claimed. “I’ve been smart since I was young.”
“Go back to your room!”
Braydon continued glaring placidly at Luke.
Luke, munching on a cuc.u.mber, was petrified by Braydon’s gaze and ran away, antic.i.p.ating a potential beating!
With Luke gone, the room became much quieter.
Braydon tossed the black stone tablet on the table and calmly sat down.
Zahran promptly poured some tea.
“I don’t have time for idle chat. Tell me, how can I pa.s.s through the 14th ancient city and head to the world outside the ruins?” Braydon sipped from the warm jade teacup.
Braydon, this cunning guy, was from the outside world.
How could he not know how to return from the ruins?
He was obviously trying to get more information from them.
The green-clothed man in the spiritual aperture was secretly wary of Braydon. He felt that this kid was mischievous and not a good person.
As expected, Jabir no longer appeared as a charlatan.
“You want to go to the outside world?” he asked modestly and gently.
Braydon stared at him. There was no need to repeat what he had said.
Jabir sighed. “The bronze door to the outside world has always been in the hands of the people there. The door can only be opened from the outside. It can’t be opened from the inside.”
“That door can’t be destroyed?” Braydon inquired calmly.
“One hundred and ten years ago, a hundred Great Divine Priests descended upon the Second Divine Emptiness Region and attacked the bronze door together. However, they failed to even make it tremble, much less damage it,” Jabir answered.
“As far as I know, the 14th ruin was opened a hundred years ago,” Braydo was upfront.
“Yes,” Jabir nodded. “In the past thousands of years, the bronze door has been opened many times before.”
“Why did they close it?” Braydon questioned.
Lekan replied, “When the bronze door is opened, strong and weak ancient martial art pract.i.tioners would enter. For example, Devil King Finley Yanagi, who opened the bronze door this time, brought with him a large number of martial art pract.i.tioners. They are all extremely weak.”
“The cultivation environment outside has deteriorated. They come in to cultivate in the Divine Emptiness Realm.”
Jabir had a wealth of information.
“How do you know that?” Braydon pretended to be confused.
“There are so many martial artists from the outside world who come here. All we had to do was catch a few and question them,” Jabir casually explained.
