As they watched as the entire place surrounded by the formation "disappeared", leaving only a large crater in the middle of a large mountain range, Fillia could not help but sigh.
"And to think that this place hid such a secret, it is not surprising that the spiritual beasts stayed guarding this place, at least they must have known for a long time about this inheritance and who left it, that is why they guarded this place."
Hearing Fillia's comment, Daniel silently nodded, before saying:
"We must leave this place quickly, from what those Daoist companions said at the beginning, their elders were not in this place, otherwise neither you nor I would have any hope of surviving, when all this incident happened they must have already alerted them, for what we must get out of here before they return."
Fillia silently felt, while they were the most talented geniuses in her family, in front of an old man with a cultivation in the late stage of cultivation, they were nothing more than bigger ants, not to mention that the supposed inheritance they were looking for actually had no nothing to do with them, but who would believe them?
Thinking about the inheritance issue, she Fillia couldn't help but look at Daniel, who was carrying the ark out of this place.
Feeling his persistent gaze, Daniel only sighed inside, he knew that this time he could not lie to Fillia, this whole incident was totally unexpected, in the end, the boy disappeared, he did not even know how to face his father and grandmother, not to mention that If this incident was discussed, there may be one or another ancient who noticed it, so to avoid further problems, he decided to tell him part of the truth, but not without first having insurance.
So Daniel, with a serious and penetrating look on his face, turned to Fillia:
"I can answer some of your questions, but before that, you must take an oath on your inner demons that you will not tell anyone else about what I am going to tell you, or what just happened."
Fillia did not even hesitate, she quickly made the oath, for her, as long as her curiosity is satisfied, she could make certain sacrifices.
This sight, although it didn't surprise Daniel, did make him smile helplessly.
"Well, although I don't know much about it either, if it weren't for Grandma, not even my father could tell me the situation clearly."
Due to the seriousness of what happened 5 years ago, Daniel's grandmother made everyone who witnessed and knew about the incident swear on her inner demons that nothing about the incident would be mentioned; who, despite their reluctance, could only accept, and among them was Daniel's father, current head of the Aegis family, that is why, at his father's request, the grandmother told him a little about the incident.
Once he saw Fillia finish with the oath, Daniel asked quietly:
"What do you want to ask?"
Fillia thought for a moment before saying:
"Did Abel have an inheritance key?"
Hearing this, Daniel was surprised, not by the question, but by the name she mentioned
"Did you say Abel?"
Fillia, somewhat annoyed that they still hadn't answered her question, quickly added:
"Yes, Abel, the boy who disappeared completely and who you seem to no longer care about."
Hearing this, Daniel was shocked, before shaking his head as he thought to himself.
"So Abel huh, I wonder what grandmother's reaction will have when she hears that you gave yourself a name."
Although it was not unusual for a person to give himself a name, it was usually because said person wanted to separate and cut all ties with his family, so hearing that the boy gave himself a name surprised him.
But Daniel did not stop at those thoughts and calmly answered Fillia's question.
"Although I did not know it myself, and as unlikely as it may be, everything indicates that yes, the boy had an inheritance key."
Although the very idea that a 5-year-old boy without any cultivation and locked in a mansion all the time would obtain something that many powers and geniuses in Kunlun fought for seemed unheard of and unreal, everything pointed to this being the case, so that one can only sigh before such luck.
Fillia nodded, and she suspected this to be the case with the boy's reaction to the formation that suddenly appeared, and that led her to the next question.
"That pillar of blue light was a node, right? It must surely transport the heir to the place of inheritance, that's why when you saw the ark return alone, you didn't do more, right?"
At this, Daniel sighed helplessly before adding:
"Yes, you're right, when I saw the ark return by itself from the direction of the node I understood what he was looking for, it seems that from the beginning he played us in the palm of his hand... wait."
Suddenly, a sudden thought came to his head, a memory from a month ago, when she told him that he could no longer cultivate.
"At that time, I didn't pay much attention to him, but when I mentioned the old rank manual, the boy regained his confidence, don't tell me..."
Connecting the strings, Daniel made a terrible guess, as waves of shock and surprise ran through his entire being.
Seeing Daniel in a trance state, she Fillia tried to call him back and ask what was wrong with him, only to witness a sight that might never be repeated again.
"HAHAHAJAJAJA, how stupid we were, once fate decides something, it can't be helped, or was it rather to want to avoid it that happened? see the faces of the ancients seeing that what they tried to stop in the end happened."
Seeing Daniel's laugh, Fillia was very surprised, never in all her time of knowing him had she seen him laugh so wildly, but she did not interrupt him, she just smiled and withdrew, while Daniel's laugh remained by the ark for a while.
Abel woke up, his whole body ached, his mind was cloudy and he could barely connect thoughts, he tried to sit up alone so that an intense pain went through his whole body, preventing him from moving in the slightest.
"Damn, what happened, my whole body hurts and burns, I can't even move to see the state I'm in."
Seeing that he could not move due to the intense pain he had, very close to the moment when he experienced his spiritual washing, Abel surrendered on that aspect while in his mind he tried to remember what it was that could lead him to this pitiful situation.
"We go in parts, I remember reaching the mountains of Khar with Daniel and Fillia, then we advanced towards the west where a formation was activated, then some very strong guys arrived with whom Fillia and Daniel fought while I carried the ark towards the node... that's right, I entered the node! "
Finally remembering what happened, Abel with a clearer and clearer head, recalled what happened after entering.
"Well, obviously the librarian was wrong, that node was no longer stable, although well, maybe for beings like Daniel and Fillia it is like a concrete road, but for me it was like traveling on a bumpy road with blades at all sides, a slightest mistake and he would have died."
Recalling that tragic experience, Abel couldn't help but sigh, while cold sweat ran down his face, this time his experience was so close to death that it far surpassed the previous ones, normally that path was made for a cultured who has at least overcome the stage of martial soldier, not for someone who did not even have cultivation, but fortunately for Abel, his physical body managed to endure all that journey.
"I must also thank that spatial seed of which the old man spoke, without it, it is most likely that it would have fallen into an area with spatial ripping and have torn me apart."
This was why Abel said that the path was not stable, for someone with a superior cultivation these rips were so tiny that they did not affect them, but for him, it was like dodging invisible blades that could appear anywhere, but, for his fortune Due to his affinity for space provided by his space seed, he managed to avoid certain death ones, although he still got badly injured in the process, resulting in the current state of his body.
Thinking about this, Abel wanted to cry, but no tears came out, until now, in 5 years in this world, he was already on the verge of death 4 times, and that was only because 4 of those years he remained locked up, without going out into the world exterior.
"Well, it can't be helped, that's the way of cultivation, although I can't deny that my bad luck was also involved."
Sighing inwardly, Abel only realized until now that he was in a small room apparently made of wood, where there were a few pieces of furniture, very old in his opinion.
"Where the hell am I?"
With this question in mind, he tried to remember what happened after exiting the node, but to his bad luck, he passed out right after exiting, so he had no recollection of how he got to this. place.
Thus, as he tried to think of his next course of action, the door to the room was opened.
