Chapter 1530: Chapter 1529: City Lord
Although he suspected that the treasure might be at the very center of the city, Ling Feng didn’t rush in. Instead, he walked while scanning the surroundings with his Divine Sense.
However, the place was too vast. To walk from one side to the other would be at least a twenty-kiloter distance, and his Divine Sense could only cover less than a square kiloter here, making it impossible to notice all the details.
So after walking for a while, Ling Feng simply gave up and turned back to say to everyone, "You guys take your ti and admire the surroundings, I’ll go check out the center!"
"You go ahead!"
Ling Yao knew he was anxious, so she didn’t say much.
Ling Feng leaped into the air, and with a single bound, he vanished from sight.
After more than ten minutes, crossing close to ten kiloters of cityscape, Ling Feng reached the center.
From afar, he could see a tall tower, and Ling Feng was secretly joyful, thinking the treasure was about to be his!
Even though he didn’t know what it was yet, he knew it wouldn’t be sothing trivial, as it was sothing from beyond the heavens!
So with excitent in his heart, seeing the high tower, he pushed his speed to the limit and, in the blink of an eye, arrived close by.
The tower was dozens of ters high, entirely snow-white, made of so unknown stone entirely different.
Seeing the entrance, Ling Feng quickly walked over.
As soon as he entered, he heard a long sigh!
"Who!"
No lifeform appeared in Ling Feng’s Divine Sense, yet he heard a voice and was suddenly taken aback!
"Finally, soone has co!"
The voice echoed inside the tower, with a slight resonance.
Ling Feng was stunned, then asked, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is no longer important."
The voice continued, "I used the last of my divine power to forge this city, and since you are the first person to arrive, I shall entrust it to you!"
As the voice faded, a bright white beam of light enveloped Ling Feng!
He shuddered imdiately, as if struck by lightning!
Before he could speak, he suddenly realized there was a new scene in his mind, a panoramic view of the city.
"The City Lord’s imprint has been placed on you; my mission is complete."
The voice spoke again, and the white light disappeared; the interior of the tower quickly returned to silence.
As Ling Feng stood there bewildered, the snow-white tower gradually began to change color, turning to the grayish-blue hue of the surrounding buildings!
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless.
Just two sentences and it’s done? Why not say more, like who built this place or for what purpose, nothing was ntioned!
He called out twice tentatively, but getting no response, Ling Feng knew there was no hope.
In resignation, he could only shake his head, then focused his Divine Sense on the top of the tower.
There was a sealed space there, filled with extrely strong Spiritual Energy; the treasure he was looking for must be there!
With that thought, Ling Feng’s figure flashed, quickly ascending the spiral staircase.
He didn’t know how many turns or levels he climbed, but eventually, he reached the top of the tower.
There was only a small space, just over ten square ters, with a translucent white sphere floating in the center.
Ling Feng stepped forward to carefully inspect it, and his eyes imdiately widened!
Inside the sphere, a curled-up infant was vaguely visible!
"What the--!"
Ling Feng was utterly dumbfounded.
This image, ever since knowing Li Shiyun was pregnant, he’d seen many tis, and the infant’s appearance was just like a child in the womb!
Standing there stupefied, Ling Feng was montarily at a loss.
After a long mont, realizing that Ling Yao and the others had arrived below the tower, he ca to his senses.
Then leaning from the tower top, Ling Feng shouted to them, "I’m here, everyone co up and see, there’s a startling discovery!"
Upon hearing, the group imdiately entered the tower and, after a few minutes, all reached the platform.
Everyone was equally stunned upon seeing the infant in the sphere!
Ling Feng looked at Yang Guang, "Do you know what this is about?"
"No idea!"
Yang Guang shook his head, adding, "I know that Eight Trigrams Array is for gathering and nurturing spirits, but I didn’t expect it to nurture an infant!"
"Could it be the reincarnated body of that great deity?" Yu Linglong asked.
"I don’t think so?"
Ling Feng wasn’t too confident and recounted his experience in the tower and the mysterious voice to everyone.
After listening, Ling Yao frowned, "If that’s the case, you might have encountered the residual Divine Sense of the creator of this place, just a fragnt of consciousness!"
"So, the infant is probably not his reincarnation."
Ling Feng nodded, then looked around at everyone, "Does anyone have any ideas?"
"Since you inherited this place, think about how to develop and utilize it," Xia Lan said with a slight smile, "After all, with the infant here, we can’t just ddle rashly. We’ll have to co often in the future!"
"Yeah, if the infant can be born soon, it could grow up with my little nephew or niece!" Li Fei’er said.
Ling Feng glanced at her, shook his head with a wry smile, "How is that possible? According to Yang Guang, this infant has been nurtured for over two hundred years!"
Then Yang Guang said, "Yeah, precisely because of this, it’s on the verge of being born!"
"Really? Can you tell when it will be born?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
"I don’t know, it’s just a feeling!"
Yang Guang shook his head and continued, "However, as I ntioned, after being nurtured for so long, it’s about ti. Plus, with the revival of Spiritual Energy, it will definitely be soon!"
As she spoke, she thought of sothing and added, "Oh, you can bring so Spirit Stones over, this is a Spirit Gathering Tower, it can automatically absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones for the infant!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng imdiately had an idea.
He had plenty of Spirit Stones in his Space Bracelet, taking a few out here wouldn’t feel like a loss.
So, doing as he said, the group descended to the first floor of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
After placing the Spirit Stones, Ling Feng set up a large Teleportation Array here to make it convenient for everyone to visit in the future.
After finishing, rembering the suspended Patching Sky Stone fragnt in the sky, Ling Feng looked at Xia Lan, "This thing..."
"You can have it."
Xia Lan smiled and said, "It can shine for centuries, let’s just leave it here as a gift for you!"
"A gift?"
Surprised and puzzled, Ling Feng asked, "Why give
a gift?"
"You think I don’t know about you and Shao Zhi?"
Xia Lan rolled her eyes at him, then turned toward the Teleportation Array, "We’ll head back to Nine Heavens first, you’d better check the entrance to the cave and think about how to protect it!"
With that, she and Ling Ling took the lead and teleported away.
