Chapter 1251: Chapter 689: Five Thunder Seals_2 Chapter 1251: Chapter 689: Five Thunder Seals_2 Logan and the others, after hearing the City Lord's words, felt both excited and tense. They knew the road ahead was filled with unknown challenges, but as long as they stood united, they would certainly overcome all difficulties and achieve their goals. Thus, with the blessings and clues from the City Lord, they embarked on the journey to the depths of the Spirit World.
Logan felt that the unusual circumstances must hint at trouble. The sudden influx of numerous Half-demon Half-man residents in Mist City, as well as the unnaturally lively atmosphere, set off alarm bells in his heart. There was definitely a problem, and it was likely closely related to the purpose of their adventure. He couldn't wait to grill a nearby merchant, trying to pry some useful information from him.
“We also want to know why they all came here. Has there been some event recently?” Logan's words betrayed an irrepressible curiosity as his eyes fixed on the merchant, afraid to miss any subtle change in the vendor's expression.
Hearing this, the merchant touched his nose, a sly glint passing in his eyes. “You know, there have indeed been a few rumors swirling around the city lately. They're big on information, lots of people are coming just to ask about them!”
Logan's eyes lit up at once, as if he saw a glimmer of hope. With the existence of such news, his aimless search seemed much more promising than before. He quickly urged, “Let's hear about it then. I'm curious too. We're also looking for something important. Maybe your news can provide us with some clues.”
Seeing this, the merchant coughed, cleared his throat and began to talk about the happenings around Mist City. “Do you know, there's an ancient legend going around the city lately. It says, in the depths of Mist City, there's a secret passage that leads to the Spirit World. And this passage only opens at specific times and under certain conditions.”
Logan and the others listened, mesmerized. They exchanged glances, all understanding the importance of this legend. If it were true, then their exploring mission might be related to this secret passage.
“So where exactly is this passage?” Logan asked eagerly.
The merchant shook his head, indicating he was not too clear on the specifics. “Well, I don't know about that. However, I've heard the appearance of this passage has something to do with a mysterious figure in the city. Rumor has it, he holds the key to opening the passage.”
“A mysterious figure?” Logan pondered, his interest piqued by this enigmatic person, “Can you tell us more about him?”
The merchant spread his hands, showing he only knew so much. “All I know is he's a Half-demon Half-man, elusive, and rarely has anyone seen his true face. However, if you really want to find him, perhaps you could check out a certain abandoned temple in the city. It's said he occasionally appears there.”
After hearing what the merchant had to say, Logan had a plan in mind. He thanked the merchant and then led the group towards the direction of the abandoned temple. Along the way, they encountered many other adventurers also in search of the mysterious figure, some appearing to be alone, while others were in groups.
As they delved further, the veil of mystery surrounding Mist City began to lift. They discovered that the city was far more complicated than they had imagined. The Half-demon Half-man residents each had their own forces and territories, and the mysterious figure seemed to be the mastermind behind it all.
After a series of twists and turns, Logan and his companions finally arrived at the entrance of the abandoned temple. The temple doors were closed tightly, like an insurmountable barrier. They pushed the doors open and carefully walked inside.
The temple was dim and silent, only a few weak rays of sunlight filtering through the dilapidated roof. They walked down the corridor, intermittent gusts of wind whispering in their ears as if something in the shadows was watching them.
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed within the temple, causing both Logan and the others to shiver uncontrollably. “You have finally arrived; I have been waiting for you.”
Logan gripped the weapon in his hand tightly, looking around warily. He saw a figure emerge from the shadows, a half-demon half-man, whose eyes revealed wisdom and depth.
“Are you that mysterious person?” Logan asked tentatively.
The man nodded and slowly began to speak, “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. I know why you have come here and I also know of the secret passage that leads to the Spirit World. However, if you wish to get its clue, you must pass my trial.”
Upon hearing the man's words, Logan and the others felt both nervous and excited. They knew this was their only chance to venture deep into the Spirit World. Hence, they mustered their courage and accepted the man's trial.
After a fierce battle and a match of wits, Logan and his companions successfully passed the man's trial. The man kept his promise, providing them with the clue to go deeper into the Spirit World, and cautioned them to be careful, for the dangers there far exceeded their imagination.
Logan and his companions were filled with gratitude and respect after hearing the man's words. They knew the success of their adventure could not be separated from the help of this mysterious man. After expressing their thanks, they embarked on the journey towards the depths of the Spirit World. In the upcoming journey, they would face even more challenges and difficulties, but as long as they remained united, they were certain to overcome everything and reach their goal.
“If you all sincerely ask me, of course I must tell you,” the mysterious man slowly began, his voice echoing in the empty temple with an indescribable authority, “In fact, deep at this crossroad of the Spirit World, there lies a hidden ancient legend. It is said that the tomb of a great ancient Emperor is buried there, a place not only for rest but also a Small World containing endless power and secrets.”
Logan and his companions listened intently, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and desire. The man continued, “This Small World, derived from the remnants of the Emperor's will and power, has nurtured countless creatures and wonders over innumerable years. If one can successfully enter and accept the unique power's blessing there, their cultivation level may leap qualitatively, even breaking free from the shackles of the Demigod realm!”
He paused deliberately at this point, seemingly giving the group time to digest the astonishing information. Then, he went on to say, “What's more enticing is that if you can find the Emperor's inheritance within this Small World, you might have the chance to glimpse the secrets of the Divine Level, and realize the transformation from mere mortals to Deities. This inheritance can allegedly help one achieve a Divine Level realm, possessing great powers to change the heavens and earth.”
At these words, Logan's heart jolted. He stroked his chin, contemplating the man's words. The inheritance of a deity was undoubtedly a huge temptation. He confidently believed he had enough talent and strength to vie for this inheritance, but he was momentarily undecided, as it involved one of the most precious secrets of the entire Spirit World.
The merchant, observing Logan's expression, knew he was deeply attracted by the legend. He sighed, patted Logan on the shoulder, and said with heartfelt earnestness, “Logan, I know what you are thinking. But you must understand, this is not just a simple treasure hunt; it is a challenge to the very limits of yourself. The Emperor's inheritance is not easily obtained. You need to prepare thoroughly to face the various trials that are coming.”
Logan nodded, looking at the merchant gratefully. He knew that, although the merchant appeared to be an ordinary trader, he was in fact a well-traveled, experienced veteran of the Worldly Society. His advice undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Logan.
“Then, how do we enter this Small World?” Logan asked eagerly.
