LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 18 — Who Are You ?

The strange array of stones instantly turned into a black hole after Heilong finished reciting the incantation.

Heilong used to sense that there was such a profound power of space laws from within this black hole. It seemed that the one who made this teleportation magic formation was a formation expert from ancient times, not Demon King Zhao.

However, it did not rule out the possibility that the person who made this formation still had some connection with the Zhao family from Underworld, either, given that only Demon King Zhao alone had a map and a way to open the gate leading to the Mysterious World that was inside the ancient ruins.

Indirectly the Mysterious World Heilong was going to aim for was the same as a Small World that was inside another Small World.

Heilong immediately jumped into the black hole and landed on an island after passing through a long hollow passage.

However, there was absolutely no danger whatsoever within that void space. For the hollow passage is protected by a special power.

Heilong stood up for a moment while closing his eyes and spread out his hands freely. He could feel that the natural energy present in this place was very abundant and so pure as if he was currently in a very ancient World.

This island seems to have not been touched by Humans, Gods or Demons for thousands of years. Because, there were absolutely no footprints in this place other than his own footsteps.

There were only medicinal plants and rare flowers dating back tens of thousands of years along the eye of the beholder.

Heilong could also see a spring that became the source of life in this place. The spring has several streams that spread throughout the island and provide nutrition to all the medicinal plants in this place.

Most of the medicinal plants present in this place were extremely rare medicinal plants and perhaps their existence had also disappeared from the three Worlds.

“I really got a big harvest this time.” Heilong became even more eager to harvest all the medicinal plants present in this place.

“Didn't you feel weird about this place?” Zhi Ming suddenly gave a warning when he saw Heilong was going to harvest all the medicinal herbs present in this place.

“White why? Isn't this a very natural thing. A place that is rarely visited by living things will definitely store natural wealth that is so abundant because there are no ignorant hands that damage it,” replied Heilong who began picking medicinal plants in front of him.

“Then you are the owner of that ignorant hand because what you are doing right now can be said to damage the ecosystem of medicinal plants that are in this place,” replied Zhi Ming annoyed.

“I don't mean that! What I am doing right now is only forgiving circumstances that are favorable to me. Moreover, I did not take any medicinal plants that were very young or that were not yet time to harvest. You also know that overripe medicinal plants will die by themselves if not harvested immediately.”

Whenever picking a medicinal plant, Heilong will always leave a little part of the plant, especially the roots so that the medicinal plant can grow back after a few years.

Heilong continued down this island while picking medicinal plants that had already entered the harvest. He had a really big harvest this time.

Even the storage ring he had until was not enough to store all the medicinal plants he had picked up. Fortunately he was able to store these medicinal plants within his Soul World.

“This island is indeed heaven for medicinal plants,” Heilong chirped after being satisfied harvesting medicinal plants in this place.

So far, Heilong has harvested hundreds of extremely rare types of medicinal plants. And, each type of rare medicinal plant was at least a thousand years old. Can you imagine how much price the Alchemists would offer if this medicinal plant were included in the auction?

However, Heilong had no intention of selling these medicinal plants at all but he would use these medicinal plants as training materials to strengthen his understanding in Alchemy.

Without feeling, Heilong finally arrived at the spring that was in the middle of the island and had formed a lake.

Somehow Heilong felt so tired once he set foot around this lake. He finally took a short break by the lake and chatted with Zhi Ming.

“Don't you find it strange why a very special Little World like this has absolutely no figure guarding it?” Zhi Ming was finally able to uncover his suspicions about this place to Heilong.

“To find and enter this Mysterious World alone is already very difficult then what else is needed the figure of a guard? After all if this place had a guard maybe this place wouldn't be this happy. You do not need to think about strange things anymore because what I do in this place is only harvesting medicinal plants that are supposed to be picked,” Heilong replied casually.

He then decided to meditate around this Lake instead of wasting his time in vain just to argue with Zhi Ming.

In meditation, Heilong could sense that all the natural energy present on the island was actually sourced from this lake. Therefore, he felt very comfortable when meditating on the spot.

Heilong was finally immersed in his meditation and felt as if he was being pulled into another dimension. He could not resist this powerful will and could only follow where it would take him away.

He felt that his soul was becoming more and more distant with his physical body as this mysterious will carried away until he finally arrived at a very magnificent palace and was entirely made of light.

This light palace was even ten times more majestic than the light Palace that Divine Beast Shen Long had on the Continent of Atlantis.

“Who is the owner of this Light Palace?” Heilong looked around trying to figure out who the owner of this amazing Palace was.

“You have finally arrived at this place. I thought there would never be any of my descendants who could find this Palace.”
