“There’s truly such a legend, Father? Why hadn’t I ever heard of it?” Scarlette asked in great puzzlement.
“In recent years, this legend has abated, so you naturally hadn’t heard of it. Back in the day, we had quite a few experts in the eastern region. There were also numerous Demonic Cultivators. But with the establishment of Demon Seal Alliance, their survival came under great threat. Gradually, they disappeared. Legend has it that they had taken refuge in another realm. Some even claimed that a secret realm was created for the demon cultivators to hide there. However, no one could tell for sure what exactly happened. Anyway, Mount Gonagles is incredibly eerie. It’d best that you both stay away from it,” Owen insisted, still trying to dissuade his daughter and Jared.
“If we don’t go to Mount Gonagles and obtain Myocyte Grass, Father, I’ll be condemned to live behind a mask for the rest of my life,” Judith countered with a hint of anxiety.
If I can’t seize this opportunity, I might never be able to remove the mask on my face! Even if I could obtain Myocyte Grass at that time, it would be of no use without an alchemist like Jared!
Owen fell silent, at a loss for a retort.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Castenada. I will take good care of Ms. Judith. Once we obtain Myocyte Grass, we will return immediately. We won’t be
in any danger,” Jared reassured.
Upon hearing that, Owen could only nod in agreement since he had witnessed the man’s capabilities firsthand. He could even slay Harvey, who was at Ultimate Realm, with a single strike, so even if they were to encounter any danger, he should be able to handle it!
Subsequently, Jared left Castenada Town with Judith and Cloud in an airship.
Mount Gonagles was a considerable distance away from Castenada Town, over ten thousand kilometers to be exact. Furthermore, it was located near the northern region, with a portion of its ranges stretching to the southernmost area.
But as Jared and the others were en route to Mount Gonagles in an airship, an unusual celestial phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky above their very destination.
Streaks of white light seemingly burst forth from within the mountain itself, rendering the entire stretch of sky in the eastern region ethereal.
In the light, there were seemingly the sounds of an army and the echoes of a great battle.
All the cultivators in the eastern region were drawn by that unusual celestial phenomenon.
“Could this be the other realm in the legend?” Judith exclaimed as she stared at the unusual celestial phenomenon.
“Mr. Chance, could it be that there are ancient ruins on Mount Gonagles?” Skylar asked, his gaze likewise fixed on the unusual celestial phenomenon.
Jared peered through the airship’s porthole at the unusual celestial phenomenon outside.
Then, he slowly shook his head and disclosed, “This is not some ancient ruins or another realm. Instead, it’s one of the Celestial Battle’s battlefields. It seems that it has always been sealed off. This is a manifestation of the seal weakening, resulting in its aura leaking out.”
“The Celestial Battlefield? I never imagined that one would exist in this desolate eastern region,” Cloud commented with a hint of curiosity.
“The eastern region wasn’t always desolate. It only became like this later on,” Judith quickly explained.
“Let’s go. Since the Celestial Battlefield’s aura has leaked out, many will likely head over. We’ll also go and have a look.”
Jared knew that there would undoubtedly be many unexpected opportunities and magical items in the Celestial Battlefield.
Others would certainly be aware of that as well, so with the Celestial Battlefield’s aura having leaked out then, there was bound to be a crowd rushing over.
Cloud nodded. He sped up the airship, heading toward Mount Gonagles.
At the same time, an old man with a hunched back suddenly appeared in the eastern region amidst a burst of white light with two Demonic Cultivators wielding swords behind him.
The three of them were members of Demon Seal Alliance. After receiving the plea for help from Quinlan Town, they used a Teleportation Array and went to the eastern region.
Only an organization as formidable as Demon Seal Alliance could utilize Teleportation Arrays.
