Chapter 1009: Three Hearted 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The highest snowy peak of the Scarlet Snow Mountain in Northern Yu Province.
The sharp snowy peak resembled a bamboo shoot poking through the ground in winter, pointing straight at the sky, standing strong in the sky full of snowflakes.
Glancing into the distance, an enormous white Snow Eagle could be vaguely seen at the top of the snowy peak, its gigantic wings almost covering most of the surface of the peak. From a distance, the eagle seemed to be crouched on the peak, resting quietly.
At the side of the snowy peak, a white triangular flying saucer was flickering slowly, floating among the snow.
Inside the triangular flying saucer, several young people stood imposingly at the huge, glass window in the front.
The leader was a young girl with beautiful, adorable features. She wore a tight-fitting, red dress and red, crystal earrings.
“Garen, can you see it, this is Scarlet Snow Sect’s iconic building, Scarlet Snow Peak, which is also the highest mountain peak in the mountain range.” She explained with a smile.
“Senior Sister, isn’t that tower the iconic building?” Garen stood by her side. He was wearing a white suit with a fresh new Three Hearted pauldron on his shoulders. On his back was a formal, long white cape. His tall and muscular physique complimented his powerful and grandeur aura.
“You mean the Fermium Cloud Tower?” Third Senior Sister shook her head, “You will know soon. That tower, sigh…”
The flying saucer slowly approached the snowy peak, then in the heavy snow and everyone’s terrified screams and shouts in the flying saucer, they were swallowed by the Snow Eagle with a gobble.
“Hahahaha!!!”
Inside the flying saucer, Third Senior Sister Eva hands were holding her own stomach as she laughed out loud looking at the shocked expression on everybody’s face.
“Senior Sister, couldn’t you had said something earlier?” Garen asked helplessly. He was still calm and collected, but Bainster and Hillco who were with him looked pale and sickly.
“Why aren’t you scared? You are such a bore.” Sister Eva looked at Garen strangely.
“I was thinking that with Senior Sister around, you wouldn’t put us in any danger, would you?” Garen said shrugging his shoulders.
“That’s logical. But wouldn’t you react naturally when we were being swallowed?” Eva pondered as she fondled her chin. She liked Garen more now.
Outside the window of the flying saucer was a swirl of colors, as if they were soaring through a rainbow tunnel.
“This is the Dimension Passageway, a tunnel that leads to a secret planet of our Scarlet Snow Sect, which is also our largest base camp and headquarters! As for those bases located at the Scarlet Snow mountain range, they are all just for show.” Eva explained.
“A secret planet?” Bainster’s mouth was wide open in shock. “Wow, if it wasn’t for Brother Garen, I would never have had the chance to experience the headquarters of Scarlet Snow.”
Seated on an electronic wheelchair by the side, Hillco had her mouth wide open in shock too. After such a long time, the headquarters they thought existed was actually just a fake, and the real base camp was actually on another planet.
Garen was slightly shocked but recovered from it immediately.
“From the looks of it, is it safe to say that all three large sects each have their own secret planet as their base camp?”
“Yeah, that’s right,” Eva confirmed. “Not just us. Many other sects do the same thing especially those larger ones. They have man divisions and each of them may have one or two secret planets – to be used as marked territories for the disciples and also to extract minerals. You’ll learn more in a bit.”
As soon as she stopped speaking, the rainbow tunnel came to an end and blasted white. Once they adjusted their sight to the bright light, they saw clear, blue sky and white clouds.
The flying saucer soared fast through the blossoms of white, fluffy clouds.
White, spindle-shaped flying ships were side by side everywhere, they had some sort of claws beneath them and it looked weird.
“Those are mining ships with slaves working on top of it. Some of the ships don’t have claws beneath them but instead, they have triangle crystalline – those are ships that transport the slaves. We have the biggest slave market here. You can buy all sorts of ordinary slaves with just one Crystal. Slaves with a higher level of knowledge would generally cost ten Crystals and above and there is no ceiling price. The ringleader behind the Slave Chamber of Commerce is Carthage. He seemed to almost break through into Inherited Level. Perhaps you can drop by to pay him a visit at the planet headquarters when you are free, he tends to take special care of juniors with potential. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become my planet’s leader.” Eva only had high praises for Carthage.
Garen was curious now.
The flying saucer accelerated, leaving the flying ships behind.
Soaring through the dense layers of clouds, the front cleared suddenly. Mountains and rivers, forests and pastures could be seen, there was even a golden desert far away; there was a small, silver-colored building in between every different terrain acting as the core.
Various terrains could be clearly seen already within the mere range of tens and thousands of square kilometers.
“This is the headquarters.” Eva’s expression turned solemn.
“What happened to the terrains here?” Hillco asked in confusion.
“That was caused by the influence force field of the elders and the three brothers from the sector.” Eva’s words shocked everyone.
“Influence force field?!” Bainster exclaimed. “This large piece of land is at least thousands of square kilometers!! So…”
“Every piece of land represents the existence of someone who reached Level Six of the Inherited Level, these are our Energy Machinists. Once we’ve reached the Inherited Level, we are different from Pilots, we’ll build our stations as the city’s great wall, if anyone dares to invade our own territory, they shall experience an excruciating pain caused by the strong energy field at all times.” Eva laughed lightly. “So don’t simply go around causing chaos, if you stir something up, nobody can save you.”
“… It’s so dangerous here…” Bainster was speechless.
“The weak only has one fate over here,” Eva added seriously. “They become slaves. So don’t ever come here alone if you are not with Garen.”
“We understand. Thank you for your reminder.” The both of them immediately thanked Eva for her advice.
Garen was also frowning slightly.
The flying saucer twinkled for a bit and leaped once more. When it appeared the next time, snowy grounds could be seen in front.
The flying saucer slowly came to a halt on the snow-covered ground. A white, majestic church-like building was located in front. The building towered over the snowy mountain and had a layer of thick ice covered all over it, making it looked like it was an ice-carved palace. Three spots of lights were rotating slowly on top of the building as if it had been doing so constantly for the past couple of years.
As soon as they landed, an ancient, calm voice rang through inside the flying saucer.
“Welcome to The Great Wall Library, only Three Hearted Disciples can enter. Each person is allowed to bring two individuals per entry.”
Garen stared at the gigantic building from afar. Judging from its size, it was at least the size of a mountain peak. He could only see the whole building clearly now that he was standing afar.
Suddenly, a flying saucer flew out from the library. It soared through closely leaning towards the right, scattering huge pieces of snowflakes onto Eva’s flying saucer.
“Cordo, do you wish to die!!” Eva shouted looking at her clean, flying saucer being dirtied caused by the snowflakes mess.
“Hehe, I’m just trying to train your resilience, Senior Sister!” A young man’s voice rang through the flying saucer. His laugh had a hint of mischief in it.
“Didn’t I lose to you the last time already?” Eva was reluctant to submit. “Wait for the next tournament, we shall do a rematch then!”
The flying saucer had already flown far away, obviously not hearing a thing Eva just said.
Eva was clearly unhappy that she just embarrassed herself in front of her young juniors.
“Alright, go look for the information yourself in the library then claim your own special flying saucer. There’s a prohibited region set up above, as long as you don’t go running around places you shouldn’t be, you’ll be fine wandering on your own. By the way, we jump here, not fly. Remember that now! I’m leaving!”
Eva hummed and with a slight wave of her hand, Garen and the two others instantly felt their body lightened and maneuvered out of the flying saucer landing on the the ice sculptured stage in front of the library.
Eva’s voice could be vaguely heard behind them.
“Cordo, don’t even think about running away!!!” Her voice was in the distance. It seemed that Eva had decided to seek revenge.
“This is the Beam Projection System, which is so cool! A system like this outside would probably cost at least 10,000 Crystals!” Bainster lamented.
“Let’s go, stop lamenting.” Garen took the lead towards the library.
Hillco and Bainster followed suit, if the two of them were not followers of Garen, they would probably never get close to anything like this in their entire lives, particularly when these kinds of things were way above their standard. If they do not follow closely, they might just endanger themselves.
For the past ten minutes, the three of them only made it pass thousands of steps which were covered with layers of thin ice. If they were not careful, they could easily slip and fall.
As they made their way to the top, the temperature started dropping.
Bainster and Hillco started to feel their bodies shake from the cold.
“Damn it! My Level Four Scarlet Snow Technique can’t resist this temperature! Boss, I can’t take it anymore!” Bainster cried for help.
Garen rolled his eyes at him and said nothing. Hillco was also shivering, her Scarlet Snow Technique was also Level Four, but she was still persevering. The same two people, with the same skill sets in the same environment, yet their determination were so different from each other.
He took into consideration that Bainster had been a loyal worker with him for the past few years, always helping him in and out so he could focus on practicing without having to worry about anything else.
With a wave of his arm, Garen released his own exclusive Cold Radiation, wrapping the both of them together, he then used the power of the Cold Radiation to absorb and differentiate the low temperature in the surroundings.
They stood in front of the lofty library wall. There was no door, just a giant, whirlpool-shaped circular symbol with a pattern that resembled an eye.
Swish!
A pale lady dressed in a white robe appeared suddenly in front of Garen and the others, scaring Bainster and Hillco. The lady ignored the both of them, her sight landed straight on Garen.
“Place your hand on the whirlpool and think about the place you want to go. All followers and slaves can only visit the lowest ground to read the common books. You’re new, so you will have to make a formal visit to the sect’s 32 ancestors.”
“I understand.” Senior Sister had already explained to Garen before coming. Paying respects to the ancestors was an extremely serious ceremony in the Secret Technique World, which was why he dressed in formal attire coming here.
He tugged the white silk cape behind him, allowing it to fall on to the ground. He straightened the sharp pauldron on his right shoulder before buttoning up and smoothen the folds on his shirt.
Under the pale lady’s observation, he placed his palm above the whirlpool.
Swish…
There was a light sound, Garen’s sight blurred and within seconds, he was standing at the entrance of a dark hall. Its front doors were wide opened, blocks of gigantic bronze statues at least hundred meters tall each was lined up side by side. Every statue was magnificent and majestic, with different energy fields sheathed over it.
The statues seemed like real living humans, thirty-two dense rays of light shone down from above as if the ancestors seemed to be staring at the new disciple’s arrival.
