Chapter 1998
Author: Marina Vittori
However, Dustin and Grace maintained their disinterest. As the Crown Prince of West Lucozia and the Princess of Dragonmarsh, they possessed substantial wealth.

Ordinary jewels scattered around failed to capture their attention. Their singular focus only rested on the Dracan essence.

"Dustin, does the Celestial Eye detect anything?" Grace looked around but didn't notice anything suspicious.

"Yes, it does. The signal is quite strong," Dustin said, pulling out the Celestial Eye. He showed it to her, its bright glow and continuous vibrations signaling the presence of an extraordinary treasure nearby.

"Any idea where it might be?" she asked.

"Yes, let me give it a try." With the Celestial Eye in hand, Dustin began strolling around the grand hall.

As he neared the hidden treasure, the Celestial Eye's reaction heightened. It helped him to discern the general direction of the Dracan essence.

After a few rounds of searching, he stopped in front of a mural. The artwork depicted people worshiping gods, seamlessly integrated into the surroundings and looking completely ordinary.

Yet, as he approached the mural, the Celestial Eye vibrated more intensely, and its emitted white light grew brighter.

"It's here!" Dustin declared with determination, looking up suddenly.

"I believe the exotic treasure is concealed behind this mural."

"What?" Grace raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying there's something behind this mural?"

"Yeah, that's the gist of it." He nodded. He was confident that if the Celestial Eye's sensing was accurate, the odds were in their favor.

    "If you're planning to trade, I recommend the stalls on the western side," Corvin continued as he guided Dustin and the others through the market. "The eastern section belongs exclusively to the Quinton family and the Moseys. The items there are good, but the prices are high. Some of them even come from questionable sources."The old man selling pills in the north is reliable. His goods are genuine, though he has a strange temper. The stalls in the south belong to rogue cultivators. Their prices are lower, but the quality varies, so you must know how to judge them yourselves."Corfin continued talking at length while leading them through the market until they had made a full circuit. Only after finishing the tour did he finally leave, but before departing, he gave one last warning."Remember this. Don't offend anyone from the Quinton family. A few days ago, a rogue cultivator at the late-stage Adept argued with one of them. Not long after he left the market, they found his body ha

    After passing through Spiritfruit Valley and spending two full days climbing along the rugged mountain path, Dustin and his group finally arrived at a new place. It was unlike anything they had encountered before on Mount Aethermoor.The mountainside suddenly opened into a broad terrace, a relatively flat platform carved into the slope and large enough to cover several football fields. What surprised them most was the sight of a temporary marketplace appearing there. Dozens of crude stalls were scattered across the open ground. Some vendors spread animal hides across the earth and laid out a handful of faintly glowing spiritual artifacts. Others propped up rough wooden frames and hung cloth canopies from which rows of pill bottles and medicinal flasks were displayed. Many people threaded between the stalls, stopping to examine goods and haggling in low voices."This… This is incredible!" Scarlet exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the scene. "A marketplace in a place like this?""As

    Zephyrin's expression changed sharply when he realized that Albus had grown stronger again. The discovery caught him off guard, yet the situation left him no room to retreat. Having already committed himself to the confrontation, he could only grit his teeth and charge forward.Moments later, the battle erupted again. Facing multiple opponents alone, Albus moved through the clash with relentless precision. Streaks of sword light swept across the field, and his frost sword aura was pushed to its absolute limit. Blanche and the other members of the Frost family fought beside him. They coordinated their attacks and defenses to support his advance while struggling to contain the relentless pressure from the Jornell family.Despite their efforts, the imbalance in numbers gradually became apparent. The Jornell family held the advantage in sheer manpower. Although Zephyrin hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, the foundation of a Core-Forged cultivator still made him a formidable fo

    While Dustin and the others explored the ruins within the mountain, the region at the foot of Mount Aethermoor had already descended into chaos beneath the golden barrier.Tens of thousands of people had been randomly transported onto platforms scattered around the mountain's base. With no leadership and no order to restrain them, the only law that remained was survival of the fittest. The strong killed the weak, while those unable to resist became servants or even food.On the largest platform at the mountain's base, Evander stood with his hands clasped behind his back, observing the chaotic slaughter unfolding below with cold detachment. Beside him, Elowen idly toyed with a wildflower she had picked somewhere nearby."These insects are so noisy," she said, frowning."They won't be noisy for long," he replied calmly. "This place runs on survival of the fittest. Most of them will be gone soon.""But we're trapped here as well," Elowen complained with mild irritation. "We had plann

    Dustin stepped forward and gave a respectful nod toward the skeletal remains. "Sir, I mean no disrespect. I only seek a way to survive here. If I manage to leave, I will remember your kindness."The moment his words fell, the withered bones stirred faintly. A dim wisp of light drifted out of the skeleton, gradually coalescing into the translucent figure of an elderly man with white hair and a long white beard."3,000 years have passed," he began as he studied Dustin, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes. "At last, someone has come here."Dustin felt a jolt of alarm. He hadn't expected the skeletal remains to conceal something so mysterious.The elderly man stroked his beard and chuckled softly."Don't be nervous. I died long ago. What remains here is only a fragment of my soul, left behind to wait for someone who might one day reach this place. You made it into this hall carrying that ancient token, so our meeting wasn't a coincidence. Tell me, are you willing to accept my

    The following morning, sunlight filtered through the treetops at the mouth of the valley and scattered across the ground, driving away the chill that lingered from the night. After a full night of rest, most of the group had recovered from their injuries, and their spiritual energy had largely been restored.Dustin informed the others about the hidden opening he had discovered in the rock wall, after which Grace gathered the key members of the group to discuss their next move."We do not know where this opening leads," she said. "However, the fact that the beasts refuse to approach this section of the cliff suggests that something here frightens them. That means it is either a great opportunity or a great danger."Adam considered the situation before offering his analysis. "Based on the rules governing Mount Aethermoor, the most dangerous places usually hold the greatest opportunities. We are trapped here, and moving upward is our only path forward. If that opening leads higher up
