The illusion covering the whole place appeared to have disappeared. The falling snowflakes and the frost, seed to have vanished too. There were portals everywhere, hundreds of them. Portals of different nature, reeling with powerful energies. The amount of energy in this place was scary.
"Uh!"
"Now that you can see through the illusion, seeing this place for the first ti can be intimidating for any mortal, I know."
The Yakshasan god swiped his hand around, gently.
"This place, is truly known as Aculum Divinis. Which ans, Ti Divinity. This conjecture was an artefact that belonged to the Jade emperor. It was a divine artefact for minor spaceti teleportation. Teleportation to and from specific places on the three planes of mortal, heavenly and nether. As ti passes, the Jade emperor had friends who are spaceti artists, to work on this place. Celestials and gods alike. Using different rare techniques, portals to realms, dominions, domains and hidden places, were added. The energies and elents expended during the rework of this place, changed this place drastically. It beca a conjecture of portals. Where we are right now, is the heart of the conjecture. The portals in this place are only used by true immortals. Ascendants, hegemons, gods and celestials. Mortals or evanesce immortals, use the outer conjecture. The outer conjecture was the one that leads to places where mortals reap various rewards. Unlike this place."
With a nod of his head, the god observed Ju Feng, keenly.
"You are now getting the sense of it. Yes, you shouldn't be here in the first place, child. With the illusion uncovered, you can see where you entered from. It's a broken gateway, never been used since I've been the guardian of this place. Hegemons and ascendants from the mortal plane, use the gateway on the opposite side. When I saw you arriving, I started asking myself different questions. Then I realized it must be fate."
The Yakshasan god tilted his eyes as he reminisce in the past. After a long pause, he directed his gaze to the far distant.
"You see. To enter the house of riddles for the scroll of sentience, would have killed soone like myself. The scroll was the missing piece in the four of us. I have asked a number of ascendants and gods to help out but they either gave up or t bad fate. The Karmic string in the house of riddles was a divine threat. No possible way for . As I was contemplating of what could be, there you were. Out of the thin air. A mortal cultivator of the Zhuji level with a glowing halo of Karmic virtues. Imdiately, I ca to the realization of your importance. There were no treasures here as you can see. But for you to be of service, I gave you personal destinations of few items that were no part of any conjecture rewards. And with a little cajoling, here we are with the Scroll. Agreed, you could have died in there but your journey coming here, was fate. Fate brought you here, child. Whatever you get from your adventure, I believe, is the reason why you ca. making use of the opportunity? Call it what you may, we are who we are. Now, back to the present issue."
Said the Yakshasan god as he swirled around, facing Ju Feng.
"Divinis Ordis you invoked, Divinis Ordis you get. Three you gave before and one you brought now. Only of the three that were yours can you ask. So, what would it be?"
Bowing low again, Ju Feng replied.
"Senior, this humble one ask for the Heavenly Solitude spirit fruit."
"Heavens tears. I was hoping of getting to keep that one. You have no idea what it is, do you? Assuming you said this mont ago, I could have killed you. But now, I see why others liked you. Strange isn't it? Yes, existence can be strange sotis. Anyway, here is the fruit."
The Frost-Drear flicked his fingers, sending the fruit towards Ju Feng.
"I hope you have your ans of leaving this place, child. Don't tempt by lingering around. I will close my eyes to ditate now, by the ti I open them, I don't expect to see you. Fate brought you here but don't tempt it child.
Ju Feng fell on his knees and bowed deeply.
"Thank you senior. Thank you. I won't forget your kindness."
"En."
The mont the Yakshasan god closed his eyes, Ju Feng looked around the place once more. Aculum Divinis. He slowly uttered the safe word and was imdiately transported to the safe place. So of the mbers of his group were already there, waiting.
"Hello, Ju Feng!"
"Hey, Ju Feng."
"You are back. How was your ti in there?"
"You must have been enjoying yourself like Da Xia, for you to stay longer."
The sight of Chenric, Da Xia, Ying Jie and elder Wang Xiu, was a soothing relief to Ju Feng. Oh, how much he missed them. Instead of replying, he hugged them one by one to strange looks in return.
Though elder Cao Wang Xiu was a little reserved of the hugging reunion, she allowed with utmost curiosity.
"Ju Feng, you were only gone for few minutes. Few minutes."
"I've been gone for eternity, elder Cao Wang Xiu. Been gone for eternity."
They conversed among themselves as they await Zhang Xiu Ying. After another minute, she finally ca out.
Dargehk looked at them all with unconcerned and emotionless eyes.
"This will be the last ti on the mortal plane. Farewell to you all."
After a brief conversation with the two adults, the giant residuum made so hand seals and a massive portal was opened under an archway. They all returned their farewell and entered the portal. They erged on a clearing, a few kilotres from the Last-Sages premises.
"And from adventure, we returned."
Elder Cao Wang Xiu bead from the sight of a familiar terrain. She inhaled the air before turning towards the direction of the sect.
