The space was destroyed.
The ancient city suddenly restored its quietness.
Even the beasts that had been gathering also seemed to know that there was no more meaning to continue to guard, and so, they all left the ancient city.
The four surrounding mountains collapsed in an instant, and razed to the ground. The weaving galaxies in the sky slowly faded like a river drying out. And thus, it also quickly lost its previous mysterious look.
Sure enough, at the weaving point, many warriors also began to fly away, not continuing to linger in the ancient city for any longer.
These people seemed to know that the ancient city no longer had secret treasures, and thus, they would harvest nothing if they continued to stay.
The book 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success' in the ancient mummy's hand seemed to be the reason for this ancient city's existence. Since Leylin took the book, all of the strange treasures of this place also disappeared, which meant that this ancient city had no more mysteries left.
The beast's bones also exploded into pieces in the Heaven Gate, scattering in every corner of the ancient city.
As warriors left to their destination, Leylin met with Neelam's group handing them a few secret treasures he collected from the ancient corpses and advising them to leave.
These secret treasures which Leylin gave were all sacred level ones. Three of them are of the first grade of the Sacred level, and the remaining one is of the third grade of the Sacred level.
Even in the Divine Great Land, secret treasures are very rare. Only a few important people of the powerful parties can have the third grade of Sacred Level Secret Treasures.
The secret treasures that blacksmiths created were divided into five levels - mortal level, mystery level, profound level, sacred level, and god level. Each level was divided into seven grades; the first grade was the lowest and the seventh grade was the best. With this Sacred level Secret Treasure, Ben Parks could easily become the strongest member of the Fire Empire, the God-blessed Empire, and the supreme warrior in the Quiet Cloud. Thus, he was obviously very happy.
Even Ian Ashdown's strength would take a substantial leap, reaching the combat prowess of a Sky realm warrior. The remaining Sacred level treasures were for Leylin's grandfather Eren Lenoir and Neelam.
Leylin convinced them to leave immediately, telling them to go to the Merchant Union and not the Endless Sea since the situation is very chaotic there.
Leylin had helped them enough, protecting them so far and even giving them great benefits. Now he wasn't interested in entertaining them further and decided to send them their way.
Even Leylin's amusement has a tolerance, but for their safety Leylin created a body clone of himself to protect them through their return. Leylin can't have them die now that he has made so much arrangements for them, he has still to gain any benefits from Neelam and her miraculous bloodline.
With Leylin's increase in strength as well as multipled proficiency in understanding his own bloodline. Leylin could clearly see that Neelam's bloodline is a very powerful ancient bloodline with limitless potential.
Hence Leylin can't have her die so easily especially after she owes him so heavily. With incredible increase in his strength Leylin clone's powers also grew exponentially although still not dominating enough like the real body to swagger between the Sky realm warriors, it was still pretty durable considering it only mission for now was to direct and lead Neelam group outside the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist and into the Endless sea.
After witnessing Leylin produce a clone, to say Ian and Neelam were astonished is an understatement. Doppelganger Marital Spirit is the signature ability of the Ashdown family, and to see Leylin perform it and even perfect it a step further, giving the clones not only an illusionary but a real constitute broaden their horizon much further.
Leylin left them and has decided to move forward, although he very much wants to enter seclusion to extensively study the 'Blacksmith's Secrets of Success' but doing so he would lose his opportunity to claim another supreme game changing treasure.
Neelam, Ben and Ian already had a safe entry point into the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist which they can follow in reverse to return. The main goal of the clone is to lead them outside without any unforeseen trouble. Since the clone shares the uncanny abilities and amazing prowess of Leylin, and could borrow the assistance of A. I. Chip it's a force to be reckoned with.
For reconnaissance it has the A. I. Chip which can lead them out of any dangerous spots and for other threats there is already Gravitational Feild which has unfathomable synchrony with the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist forming a kind of resonance and even multiplying it's ability making it more fierce and deadly.
Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is a very dangerous place, even God realm warriors may lose their life here. Although Neelam's group has a safe route, all the caution and preparation in the world would still be very appreciated.
Apart from guarding Neelam's group, the clone has another important job which is to contact Leylin's hidden spy force, who could later service the three in their later journey.
All those months back, when Leylin just returned back to Endless Sea from Chasm Battlefield he sent a force consisting of both Wing and Demonic Sound race to found and bring his horrifying and fearsome mount, Ghost Hunter(Ghost beast) back to him.
Ghost hunter is a hybrid of the Sky Ghost from the Underworld and the Beast Dragon from the Demon Area.
Ghost Hunter was born with a crazy temperament and untamed personality, it was only Leylin in the whole Alaister Family who could tame it, not even the legendary Spirit Realm Warrior and Endless Sea Hero Abaddon could achieve this feat.
Leylin very much appreciated and liked the Ghost Hunter, much like how he adored the Phoenix Angar who hatched from the Phoenix egg found in Lava World.
This ferocious specimen has an unlimited capacity of evolution. It is said that if an opportunity arrives, it can at least evolve to level nine in the future. And with the help of treasures and other magical things, it could even become a level-ten demon beast!
Now that Leylin has the Immortal blood and he has gained enlightenment towards it's ability, he very much desired for the Ghost hunter to come back at his corner.
Unfortunately, Ghost hunter had already left Sky Sea where Leylin unleashed it near the Heaven Gate leading to Chasm battlefield.
Later it was found that, It has even been subdued by the Demon King Chemosh! And the only way for Leylin to regain Ghost Hunter is to help it reclaim it's soul from Demon King's control.
Leylin already has his calculation, but until he's sure to be in no lethal danger fighting or plotting against the Demon King, even the endless potential and likability of Ghost Hunter won't motivate him to take any actions.
But that's all in the future, for now Leylin wants to send his clone towards the group which was sent to find Ghost Hunter.
Way back, when the group of Wing and Demonic race warriors failed to find Ghost Hunter, Leylin halted their return to Snow Dragon Island rather they were stationed somewhere else, hiding away waiting in silence for his further orders.
Leylin already had some plans in his mind regarding the overall situation of the Endless Sea, although what happened in Sun Island was still shocking and unbelievable wasting a lot of his prior arrangements, he still wasn't without any contingency plans.
Helping Neelam's group is just a side job, because from the start Leylin had the idea to send his clone back to Endless Sea carrying some vital information to his spies and contact the two tribes, giving them their further orders.
After commanding the clone and sending Neelam's group away, Leylin also continued his journey and flew further towards the next destination.
Two days later, he finally arrived at another exotic land.
The outskirts of this exotic land had thick, gray smoke hovering. However, there was no divine thunder inside that smoke.
This was a small island, with ancient green trees and blossoming flowers everywhere. The aura of Heaven and Earth was vibrant on this island.
Different from other regions in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, the periphery of this island was full of smoke hovering around, but there was none inside the island.
All that Leylin could see was towering old trees, which were incredibly dense, covering the sky. Like a paradise, this place didn't have any beasts either, making them relax and feel that cultivating here would be very comfortable.
Leylin went through the fog and landed. Afterward, he quietly released his soul consciousness and then immediately realized that his soul consciousness wasn't restricted.
"Odd." Leylin thought. He released his soul consciousness, which had soon enveloped the entire island. But there was no trace of any life. A place with dense Heaven and Earth aura and verdant blossoming flowers like this should not be this empty.
Leylin was following the general direction of a part of warriors who had come here to find the existence of the God Soul. Those should have spread out their soul consciousness to find the abnormality on the island, as well as possible opportunities.
Leylin had a doubtful face as he looked around, Towering trees expanded all over the island. With a quick look, this island was totally covered with dense forests.
Those old trees would limit the vision of those walking in these forests, and they would not be able to see far.
*Tinnn*
"Hmm.. " Leylin suddenly felt dull sounds resonated from under his feet. A vibration came up from deep under the ground of the island. The vibration frequency was slow, but it seemed to rush straight to the human mind.
Thump thump thump.
"This tremor from underneath the island seemed to be able to drive the heartbeat, making the hearts of those people pound faster and faster."
"There must be something abnormal underground. Normal warriors would be slightly influenced by such a phenomenon. It can reflect on their judgment and reasoning, making them too nervous, and dominating our emotions."
Leylin closed his eyes, "Somebody is fighting down there."
"It's.... This way!" Leylin opened his eyes and flew towards the direction. After a while, he already stood in front of a dark hole.
This was not a big hole where cold aura flew out continuously. Standing in front of the cave entrance, one could sense fresh breeze blowing onto their bodies, making them feel a bone-deep chill and give them a feeling that some kind of danger was hiding inside that cave, which terrified everyone.
While looking around Leylin felt a movement, and soon enough a silhouette suddenly rushed out and shouted, "RUN!"
An arm-sized rattan like a ghost hand thrust out from the cave and trapped that man instantly. As it had wound around the man, it released a strong suction force all of a sudden. The man's blood flowed towards the rattan, and in just a short amount of time, all of his blood had completely been drained.
"Found it." The brutal scene had no effect on Leylin as if the terrifying scenery was invisible to him, he plunged down for around five minutes before he finally got to the center of the underground.
This place looked like a fantasy land, with a huge swamp area in the center.
Many bizarre trees like rattan grew in the swamp. Those trees were strangely humanoid; each of them was ten meters high, slowly moving in the swamp. Gloomy ghosts were wandering around, scattering out cold evil thoughts which could affect people's Sea of Consciousness.
These gloomy ghosts emitted green light while the swamp water was dark green, making the swamp look more eccentric and gloomy like a world of ghosts.
More than ten Nirvana Realm and Sky Realm warriors were scattered in all directions around the swamp. Everyone's faces were solemn while fighting with the gloomy ghosts and the humanoid monsters.
When a warrior died, his blood would be sucked completely, and his soul would quickly be assimilated by the gloomy ghost. It then also turned him into a ghost, staring at other warriors with human auras and releasing terrible spirit fluctuations.
After observing everything for a while, Leylin realized that there were many warriors with empty eyes and green pupils. They were attacking other warriors together with the hollow spirits.
"A.I.Chip scan."
[Beep! Task established!]
[Scan complete.. Exotic soul creature detected! After being attacked a warrior's Sea of Consciousnesses is occupied by the hollow spirits, thus getting completely under the hollow spirits' control. They had no sense of their own, and just automatically attacked the other warriors. Classified as a F+ Level Threat!]
With a quick glance, Leylin realized that there were many warriors in the swamp fighting the rattan monsters and the hollow spirits. With a rough count, he guessed there were at least seven or eight teams of warriors.
"F+ Level huh... normally such a creature would be a pain for even a Sky realm warrior especially with it's ability to attack the Sea of Consciousness but people like me are bane for such a creature." Leylin smiled slightly as he walked ahead.
The threat level system is an established algorithm adapted and emplaced by the A. I. Chip to classify and characterize different creatures and beings in respect to their fatality and prowess.
From the Elementary level threat being labelled as A Level, Nascent as B Level, Human as a C Level threat and so on, with a F Level threat capable of decimating a Nirvana realm warrior. While a F+ Level threat is one which is a pain even for Sky realm warriors. All + Level threats are those with special characteristics which may prove fatal for even a higher level warrior.
