Celestial Bloodline - Chapter 624: Our memories?

When Kyle opened his eyes, he found himself alone inside the chamber. He surveyed the area around him, his scent perception skill was still active, which is why he immediately detected Yue and the others outside the trial ground.

A wisp of smoke escaped his lips as he observed the ice surrounding him.

His vision sharpened, allowing him to perceive events at the far end of the tomb from his current position. Peering down, he tried to look at the herb garden beneath the platform, only to be surprised by the darkness that greeted him.

“Is something obstructing my view?”

He shifted his body, causing the ice surrounding him to shatter into numerous pieces before gradually dissipating into particles that vanished into the air. Kyle observed the faint blue particles near his skin, noticing they had grown brighter, almost as if they were using more of their strength as his body became stronger.

“The bloodline proves useful as long as it doesn’t start bothering me by manipulating my thoughts. Lately, I haven’t observed it behaving unusually. It has become quieter, especially after I warned it in the No Mana Land. It’s almost like it has chosen not to interfere… or perhaps it can no longer sense any threats to my life.”

Kyle shook his head and got up. First, he got rid of all the glistening ice surrounding everything around him.

With a blink of his eyes, the ice turned into particles and disappeared. Even the cold temperature inside the chamber and the entire trial ground returned to normal, as if it had never changed in the first place.

He stretched his muscles by extending his arms and legs, feeling the fluidity with which he could exert his strength. It was much easier and less strenuous compared to when he was still in the divine rank.

“This is good. Now let’s check the herb garden buried underneath me.”

His eyes gleamed as he quickly bent down to touch the platform beneath him. In the next moment, he vanished from his spot to enter the concealed chamber below.

A few barriers tried to stop his body, but with his newfound strength, he effortlessly broke through them and appeared inside a vast underground room, only to behold a place teeming with myriad flowers and various herbs growing abundantly.

“Hmm… the garden is larger than I expected.”

The area in front of him was twice the size of where the platform was located. He was surprised to see numerous herbs that had surpassed the phase of divinity and reached the next rank.

Kyle glanced at the golden orbs floating all around the room, emanating abundant spiritual and divine energy. He reached his hand towards one of the orbs, causing it to quiver slightly but remain afloat.

“Not a powerful artifact, but quite handy. These golden orbs are gathering spiritual and divine energy from the air to ensure the garden remains lush and vibrant for an extended period.”

He noticed numerous symbols etched on the walls surrounding him. Over time, many had faded, but it was clear that most were designed to draw divine and spiritual energy into the room from outside.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon some symbols that were somewhat familiar to the ones he had seen outside, carved next to the entrance of the trial ground.

Kyle quickly made his way toward the symbols and started studying them. They appeared complex, and he had never seen this type of symbols before, but he was confident he could uncover their purpose.

He shut his eyes, and his mind began working to decipher the symbols he had seen next to the entrance of the trial ground before attempting to correlate them with the ones in front of him to check if they had any connection with each other. After all, they bore some resemblance. Gradually, a single word emerged.

“Memories…”

He delved deeper, repeatedly merging the symbols together. After several attempts, they unexpectedly fused, shaping two distinct words. Kyle’s eyes opened in astonishment at the revelation.

“Our memories? These symbols are meant to encapsulate specific moments or events within them. I have learned about symbols that can store memories, but they usually don’t endure for long periods. Also, they aren’t as complex as these. These symbols seem like the creator wrote them for fun and didn’t really want others to see the memories hidden within.”

He smirked.

“But I suppose whoever it was, they were too confident to believe that no one could decipher the symbols they wrote. Someone who can craft such symbols… is likely more proficient in arrays than I am, much more so, and I’m not too happy about that.”

Kyle made a mental note to enhance his understanding of arrays. It had been some time since he last explored them.

He placed his hand on the symbols on the wall before him and began infusing them with his spiritual energy. He shifted his gaze, allowing his spiritual energy to extend towards the other symbols outside, carved next to the entrance of the trial ground.

Outside, Jian, Yue, Asher, and the two beasts perked up as they felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy heading their way. Just as they were about to suspect an attack, Bia reassured them.

-“It’s Kyle. He has opened his eyes. He just discovered something interesting.”

Asher blinked in surprise. Kyle had found something interesting in this trial ground? The very place he had thoroughly scavenged for treasures? How could that be possible? He wanted to inquire further from Bia, but suddenly, right before everyone’s eyes, the nearly faded symbols, carved next to the entrance of the structure, began to glow with a radiant white light.

Yue stepped back from the entrance and shut her eyes as the light intensified. The symbols detached from the surface they were etched on and began floating in the air. Jian and the two beasts also closed their eyes, but Asher observed everything with wide-open eyes.

He extended his senses to pinpoint Kyle’s location and understand what the human was up to inside the trial ground. He had refrained from using his senses before, fearing it might disrupt the human’s breakthrough.

But his shock was indescribable when he realized he couldn’t sense the human inside the trial ground! Kyle’s spiritual energy was evidently emanating from within, so why wasn’t he physically present inside?

“Don’t tell me there’s a hidden room or chamber in this trial ground? Wait, if it’s true, why the heck didn’t I find it? There must be some powerful treasure stashed inside that hidden chamber! Darn it!”

He was about to cry, but all his thoughts disappeared when a sweet and somewhat mischievous female voice echoed from the symbols floating in the air.
