Finally, with a resigned sigh, Orion relented, a slight smile forming at his lips, "Alright, Magi. Fine, you can co along. But you must promise to be extrely careful. I don’t want you to end up hurt because of so prophecy."
A bright, relieved smile broke across Magi’s face imdiately, his enthusiasm reigniting with double intensity, "You won’t regret it, Boss. Oh, and by the way, I actually ca here prepared!"
Orion raised a curious eyebrow at Magi’s triumphant tone, clearly impressed by his readiness.
Magi eagerly continued, visibly brimming with pride and excitent, "I’ve already found the perfect location for our next adventure."
"A few days ago, my informants told about recently discovered underground ruins near the border of our kingdom. This news hasn’t spread yet, there are only whispers among certain circles. If we move quickly, we’ll have several days ahead of anyone else to prepare."
Orion’s eyebrows rose slightly, impressed by Magi’s thoroughness. He nodded approvingly, "You really ca prepared, huh? Excellent work, Magi. Go ahead and inform Uncle Edgar imdiately. Have him use his network to confirm the credibility and details of those ruins. We’ll leave once everything checks out."
Magi smiled broadly, his excitent palpable, "Understood, Boss! I’ll see to it imdiately!"
Orion gave him an appreciative nod, watching Magi hastily exit the lounge, his steps nearly bouncing with excitent. Once Magi had left, Orion chuckled lightly to himself, shaking his head in amused disbelief.
"An old fortune-telling man..." Orion murmured to himself, smiling ruefully. "What a strange twist this is becoming."
With one final shake of his head, Orion calmly left the lounge, heading back to his room while silently contemplating the intriguing developnt, curious about what their upcoming adventure would reveal.
***
Orion returned to his room, now clean and tidy after the servants had fixed the place. With a soft sigh, he sat down on his sturdy bed, before calmly activating the Silent Hall Cube once more.
The familiar ripple of mana spread around the room, bringing absolute silence and ensuring total privacy.
A faint shimring appeared next to him as Lumi’s small glowing screen bobbed gently into view, her voice thoughtful as she carefully asked,
[Are you planning to visit the Inheritance grounds again soon, Master? (｡•́︿•̀｡)]
Orion nodded slowly, his gaze contemplative as he replied softly, "Yes, now that I’ve morized the critical details from the Oblivion Codex, it’s ti to truly understand and comprehend them."
"Honestly, the intricacies of the Light and Darkness elents are far more complex than any of the Core Elents. They feel entirely different, like trying to grasp abstract concepts rather than simple elental forces."
Lumi’s screen bobbed up and down enthusiastically, clearly agreeing with Orion’s observation. Her cheerful voice carried a hint of excitent as she replied,
[Indeed, Master! The Inheritance grounds really accelerated your progress imnsely. Your understanding improved leaps and bounds last ti. (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
Orion drew in a deep breath, calmly closing his eyes. With focused intent, he summoned the golden headband he had inherited from Sun Wukong.
Imdiately, the elegant headband materialized upon his forehead, its golden surface faintly gleaming with ethereal radiance.
However, this ti Orion refrained from directly activating its teleportation. Instead, he hesitated briefly, curiosity nudging at him.
He decided to open the mysterious chat that connected him with the other inheritors across distant realms. The familiar translucent interface appeared before his eyes, filled with the usual chaos of their conversations:
[Voidwalker]: I was exploring a swamp here recently, and I nearly died from the poisonous bastards there.
[Continuum]: You really need to better master your art of escaping.
[Astral]: Of course the thief would know best about escaping.
[Continuum]: You haven’t died yet?
[Astral]: Ladies first.
[Continuum]: Lotus, see? He’s cursing you to die first!
[Lotus]: ...Keep away from this childish conversation.
[Astral]: Grandpa, stop instigating. You’re too old for this. By the way, haven’t those enemies of yours caught up yet?
[Continuum]: They might, if I don’t stumble upon a lucky break soon. Even my ti treasure won’t keep alive forever.
[Voidwalker]: Then allow to pray for your swift and painless death, old man.
[Continuum]: You little—
Orion silently read the chaotic exchange with mild amusent. These people, powerful inheritors scattered across different realms, always seed to be caught up in constant banter and dangerous predicants.
Sighing inwardly, Orion swiftly dismissed his initial thought of interacting further. He quietly closed the chat, shaking his head slightly with mild exasperation.
"Seems I should just focus on my own growth for now, rather than getting tangled with them," he murmured quietly to himself.
Lumi swiftly agreed, her floating screen appearing with an enthusiastic nod.
[Absolutely, Master! Those people are entertaining, but your progress is far more important than wasting ti with them. Honestly, I don’t understand how they achieved their high rankings with such frivolous personalities. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧]
Orion chuckled softly, shaking his head again before gently closing his eyes, refocusing his mind firmly on the golden headband.
His breathing cald down. Soon, the surrounding space trembled gently, reality montarily distorting around him.
Then, with a soft, barely noticeable shift, he felt his body vanish from his room, instantly reappearing within the familiar scenery of the Inheritance grounds.
Orion opened his eyes slowly, instantly recognizing his current location, the buzzing environnt of the second zone.
Groups of people casually sat together chatting about idle topics. Orion took a single glance at the surrounding before
Orion opened his eyes slowly, adjusting his vision as the gentle, ethereal light of the Inheritance grounds washed over him.
He found himself in the familiar second zone, surrounded by serene white clouds that felt impossibly solid beneath his feet.
The area was vast, extending infinitely in every direction, and carried with it a comforting yet enigmatic aura. Taking a deep breath, Orion gazed thoughtfully around for a mont, looking at the bustling second zone as groups sat leisurely and chatted.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward, making his way directly toward the first zone. Soon, he crossed the subtle boundary between the zones, arriving in the comprehension area, the Static Realm.
Here, everything felt distinctly more profound. The air was thick with intense, palpable spiritual energy that seed to seep directly into Orion’s pores, invigorating his senses.
Before him stretched the expansive, tranquil lake, its crystal-clear surface reflecting his calm yet thoughtful expression. Floating serenely above the water’s surface were giant lotuses, each shimring softly, pulsating gently with a comforting, mystical rhythm.
Orion walked steadily toward the lake, stepping easily upon the water as though it were solid ground. Calmly, he approached one of the lotuses positioned in the outer section of the lake, gently lowering himself onto its petals.
As he sat down cross-legged, the lotus reacted subtly, glowing slightly brighter and harmonizing itself with Orion’s breathing rhythm, creating a perfect resonance between them.
Closing his eyes again, Orion began ticulously recalling the intricate knowledge from the Oblivion Codex of Eternal Night.
His mind slowly subrged itself into a state of profound comprehension, deeply analyzing the mysteries of the Darkness elent.
Darkness was unlike anything he had encountered among the Core Elents; it was intangible yet pervasive, a quiet whisper of corruption and concealnt capable of eroding even the strongest of wills.
Ti beca aningless in this state, Orion fully imrsed in unraveling the elent’s depths. Gradually, his understanding solidified, each aspect carefully organized and mastered within his ntal landscape.
