CHAPTER 588 PETAL WORLDS

Chen Hao, along with Tie Cheng and Gu Yuxiao, swam into the entrance.

Even though the opening of the cave was very small, it was shaped like a gourd.

After swimming into the hole, they then found out that there was another world within it.

When Chen Hao and the others reached another entrance in the cave, Chen Hao was surprised to find

the Spirit Flowers grew all over the entrance with its pollen scattering around.

“Hold your breath and focus!” Chen Hao told them.

Chen Hao looked at the dial of his equipment. It was shown that the old lady’s figure had disappeared

right here.

She must be inside the cave.

She was also very cunning. If they were just slightly careless, they would be attacked by her.

Just then, Gu Yuxiao and Tie Cheng suddenly felt uneasy at the same time.

The pollens were comparatively much denser at the entrance of the cave.

Even Chen Hao, who tried his best to control himself, could hardly take the psychological attacks

brought by the Spirit Flowers.

It must have been the old lady who is behind all this!

Soon, Tie Cheng and Gu Yuxiao became unconscious.

Buzz!

Facing the strong psychological impact, Chen Hao couldn’t hold it much longer. He felt the space

around him becoming distorted.

Before he lost his consciousness, he saw a peculiar and ugly face appear in front of him.

In the dark, unconsciousness took over.

Without any idea how long it had been, Chen Hao slowly woke up.

The stimulation to the brain was no different to the time when Chen Hao entered the God's memory to

learn martial arts skills. This, however, brought more agony.

As they were still under the sea, they would have drowned if it weren’t for the Water Elusive Stone.

As for Tie Cheng, he was still in a deep coma with an ashen face.

Enduring a headache, Chen Hao went to look for Gu Yuxiao.

Only then he realized that Gu Yuxiao was missing.

What happened?

Chen Hao carried Tie Cheng on his back and became more alert.

He quickly paced back and forth in the tunnel, but there was no trace of Gu Yuxiao at all!

Could it be possible that something happened to her? Chen Hao blamed himself.

However, he had no time for hesitation because he was still alive, and the Sea Palace was right in front

of him. Perhaps Gu Yuxiao had entered the small tunnel in front of them?

Hoping that this was the case, Chen Hao woke Tie Cheng up, and then both of them continued moving

forward.

Bam!

They had no idea how long they had been swimming in the tunnel. Suddenly, the waves around them

behaved vigorously, as if there was a force that wanted to draw Chen Hao deeper inside.

Tie Cheng looked at Chen Hao, indicating that it was the undercurrent of the sea. However, the

pressure was too big to withstand.

Even though Chen Hao was agile under water, and he used his Inner Energy to resist the force, it was

futile.

Both of them were rapidly heading toward a hole that was getting smaller.

“Use the Bone Shrinking Technique!” Chen Hao reminded Tie Cheng.

The space around them was shrinking—initially, it had the height of a normal human, but now it had

shrunk to the height of a four-five-year-old toddler and the hole was getting smaller and smaller.

Both of them used the Bone Shrinking Technique at the same time to adapt to the surroundings.

If not, even Chen Hao, who had a strong physique, would become a pulp after being squeezed by the

tunnel.

Bam!

Finally, the suction force reached its end.

Both men were thrown into the empty space in front of them by inertia.

What surprised Chen Hao was the fact that there wasn't any sea water around the space. It was an

entirely dry space.

As Tie Cheng suffered from serious injuries, Chen Hao helped him up.

“Mr. Chen, I’m useless!” Tie Cheng said weakly.

“Don’t worry, because we… seemed to reach the Sea Palace!”

Chen Hao patted his shoulder. Then, his eyes froze in surprise as he looked at everything in front of

him.

Tie Cheng also turned his torso and looked around the space. His jaw dropped at once.

Because in front of them stood a glamorous palace, like the Sea Palace of Dragons.

Chen Hao was stunned by what he saw.

In the middle of the Palace, there was a tall platform, and around six meters above the platform, a

crystal coffin was floating.

It’s the Longevity Coffin! Chen Hao was stupefied.

It turned out that after bidding farewell with the God, the lady in white was buried here in a Longevity

Coffin.

They were separated at both ends of the world and could never meet each other again.

What did the old beggar want then? Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Mr. Chen, there are drawings around us. Seems like there’s an explanation describing what has

happened!”

Just then, Tie Cheng pointed at the drawings around them.

Chen Hao glanced at the Longevity Coffin of the lady in white, and then looked at the drawings on the

walls around him.

Similar to the Palace in the Sands, this palace was full of drawings as well.

Chen Hao looked at them briefly. It was indeed about the burial ceremony of the lady in white.

As for the drawings at the back, they could not be classified as drawings anymore. They were all

complex and artistic writings.

However, Chen Hao did not recognize the characters as they were different from the characters that he

had previously seen.

The drawings were mostly elaborating on the burial ceremony and the origin of the female corpse.

Chen Hao understood all of that.

“The Gaeml Writing?”

After browsing through the drawings on the walls, Tie Cheng came to the stone walls at the back.

“What’s the Gaeml Writing?” Chen Hao looked at Tie Cheng.

“Mr. Chen, the Gaems are an ancient tribe, and this is their writings. Our family had collected a Gaeml

scroll made from animal hide. When I was young, my grandmother forced me to learn the meaning of

these characters,” Tie Cheng explained.

Chen Hao’s eyebrows arched involuntarily. “So, can you read it?”

Tie Cheng scanned through the writings. “I could decipher around fifty to sixty percent of the text at

most. I’ll have to guess the rest though!” He scratched his head.

“At least that’s better than me, who understood nothing. Can you take a look at the words and explain

what they’re talking about?” Chen Hao patted his shoulder.

Tie Chen then looked at the writings intently.

After ten minutes, he then said, “The contents of the writings are too mysterious and peculiar. It was

like a prophecy… and they mentioned a sentence multiple times...”

Tie Cheng scratched his head and pointed to the few words in front of him and read them character by

character, “This sentence was talking about a flower that blooms in two petals. Each petal is a different

world, and the answer that you’re seeking lies in one of them.”

“It blooms in two petals, and each petal represents a world?” Chen Hao asked.

“Yes, that’s right, Mr. Chen. That’s exactly what it meant!” Tie Cheng nodded vehemently.

It was the same phrase spoken by the creepy old lady. When Chen Hao was scanning the area using

his mind, the old lady wasn’t even there anymore.

Could it be possible that she left when we were unconscious?

No, it doesn’t make any sense. The suction force is so strong outside. Even I could not go against the

current to escape, let alone her.

Well, this is not the main issue here.

‘It blooms in two petals, and each petal represents a world’. Is this about the Spirit Flower? How do I

understand this phrase?

Chen Hao frowned. “What else is written here? From which part do you see it’s a prophecy?”

“Mr. Chen, because the writings are saying that after ten thousand years, someone will come here and

bring the goddess away to reconcile with her lover whom she was apart for almost ten thousand years.

At the same time, the person will also find the answer that he’s seeking. Even though the answer might

seem far away, it’s actually nearby.”

Tie Cheng told him that this was the majority of what he was able to make out. Obviously, it was quite

difficult for him to translate as well.

But he then continued, “Because he has the… key of the Longevity Coffin, so he is the only person

who can open the Longevity Coffin.”

“Key?”

“Yes, the meaning of these few words is something like a key,” Tie Cheng explained.

Chen Hao thought for a moment. “Could it be this?”
