CHAPTER 1068 A TRACE OF THE IMMORTAL
The feast continued, but Darren was becoming more and more restless.
A month had already passed since the Water Kylin's last appearance. Something must have happened
to him. Otherwise, he would have replied to his messages.
"Everyone, excuse me for a moment. There's something I have to deal with first."
"What could be more important than drinking with us?" someone teased.
"I need to check out why the Water Kylin hasn't returned yet."
"Of course. That's a serious matter indeed. Where did the Water Kylin go after he informed us of your
return?"
"You guys go ahead and drink. I'll just look for him," Darren said.
"Alright. Let us know if you need any help," Chad offered.
Darren nodded and flew out of the area.
He spread his spiritual sense as far as it could go. It enveloped the Bottom Spiritual World completely,
but he still couldn't find the Water Kylin.
"Could he be out of the Bottom Spiritual World?" Darren murmured to himself.
He continued with his search until he came upon something suspicious at the Barren Wasteland. He
landed on a clearing in the woods.
There were golden hair scattered all over the ground.
There was a familiar aura hanging in the air. It was the Water Kylin's.
'Something bad has happened to him.' As this thought crossed his mind, Darren frowned. The Water
Kylin's strength was almost within the Emperor Realm. Who could have that much power to pose as a
threat to the Water Kylin?
For a while, Darren was submerged deeply in his thoughts before he came up with a conclusion. Of
course, with the Water Kylin's power, only the immortal could do such thing. But it still didn't add up the
fact that there weren't any signs of struggle in here.
'She's here! She's here!'
With no other lead, Darren followed the Water Kylin's aura until he came upon a valley.
He had been here before. This was the place where he came upon the bronze coffin many years ago.
At that time, there were low-level fiends roaming the area with the intent of killing any humans they
encountered.
Walking up to a stone wall, he paused for a moment.
There was a cave engraved on the stone wall. It was where he had hidden himself from the fiends.
They couldn't get him from there because the place had a rule power restriction on it.
'Why would the immortal come here? Why did she kidnap the Water Kylin?'
As these questions ran inside his head, he carefully observed the wall. The Water Kylin's aura went
beyond this wall and through this cave.
Darren tried to enter the cave quickly.
His robes rustled behind him as he moved as fast as he could.
To his surprise, his body smashed unto the wall.
He found himself bouncing back from it.
At the mouth of the cave, bright runes flickered teasingly like stars.
'Those are powerful.'
It had never occurred to Darren how powerful the restriction of the cave was. Even now, as a half-step
emperor, he was blocked by it.
'But wait. Last time, the young man in black armor almost broke through the restriction. That means the
runes weren't that powerful then. Someone must have reinforced it recently.'
He finally understood that the immortal most definitely had placed another layer of restriction over the
entrance of the cave. She must be in there somewhere.
However, such restrictions couldn't hold him off for long. After all, his strength was on par with a holy
emperor.
With his blade and sword intents, he rushed towards the restriction.
The force of the impact resulted to an explosion.
With only three hits, it finally collapsed. Darren could finally step inside the cave.
Upon entering, he was left stunned by what he saw.
If he could recall it correctly, this cave was supposed to be narrow. But now, he could see the starry sky
stretched out overhead.
It was as if he had stepped into another world.
As he flew out, a dark, cold aura wrapped itself around him, almost knocking his breath out of him.
Unleashing his spiritual sense, he tried to search for the Water Kylin's remaining aura.
However, the void was too deep. Even with his spiritual sense spread far and wide, he couldn't seem to
reach the end of the void. He couldn't find the Water Kylin's aura.
He was so sure that the immortal was there.
'Could it be that she had found where the bronze coffin is hidden?" He swallowed nervously at that
thought. He could feel his heart hammering wildly within his chest.
'I should probably start working on the secret array passed on to me by the witcher ancestor. The faster
I do that, the faster I can track down the bronze coffin.'
With that thought, Darren rummaged deep within his memories for the mysterious array.
Inside, his mind was completely filled with a starry sky. It seemed like the bright stars were close at
hand.
Billions of stars painted the sky. Somehow, those changing stars were all connected to the place where
the bronze coffin was hidden. Every move of two stars and the moves of three stars brought about
another set of changes.
The mysterious array was driving him crazy.
It was impossible to keep track of all those changes. He wouldn't be able to figure out the location of
the bronze coffin at this point.
The Rule Soul Avatar could divide his Spirit Power into a million parts, and it would take him at least
ten million years to find out the exact location of the bronze coffin. The probability was too vast. Darren
could hardly make out anything from it.
Nonetheless, he couldn't help but admire the power of the witcher ancestor. After witnessing such
mind-boggling array, it showed that the witcher ancestor was more powerful than the Rule Soul Avatar.
Darren could only imagine how powerful the Witch Power was if the witcher ancestor was at the peak
of his strength.
At this point, it was becoming more and more unrealistic for Darren to find the bronze coffin through the
array.
This array had undergone some drastic changes after its creation. At this point, even the witcher
ancestor couldn't restore it.
In the end, Darren had to continue flying around and rely on luck.
Three months later, he still didn't find anything.
"There's not even a trace of spiritual energy here. It's as if this whole space is just...dead.'
Ever since he had stepped into this void, all the spiritual energy Darren had been consuming came
from his Space Ring. There wasn't anything he could absorb from this place at all.
Nonetheless, he pushed on with his search.
'What's that?'
Suddenly, something unusual caught his eyes.
'There's a trace of spiritual energy from thirty million kilometers away.'
Indeed, it was strange to find a hint of spiritual energy in a dead zone like this. He had to follow this
energy and see where it was coming from.
After flying for ten days, Darren felt that the spiritual energy became more and more powerful. owns this.
"It's not spiritual energy. It's the immortal's aura!"
He felt his heart stutter at the realization.
With all his might, he flew.
After flying for over a million kilometers, he was suddenly jarred by a strong impact.
'There's a battle going on!'
There was a wave of power surging in the air. He could sense a dozen people fighting three million
kilometers away from him.
He hid his aura and continued to fly.
As he got closer, there were a series of explosions in the air.
The whole area seemed to vibrate with it.
Brilliant lights burst every now and then.
He could sense ten strong human warriors in the area. They were all wearing golden armors and
holding spears. At the center of them, there was an exceedingly beautiful woman.
'That is...'
Darren was surprised to see powerful beings in this place who dared fight against the immortal.
The warriors in golden armor looked familiar to Darren. It was as if he had seen them somewhere
before.
Skimming through his memories, he finally realized their identity.
He had seen men like them back in the Raksa Sea. It was where he fought the ancient senior holy
warrior with a fake Shura Force. In the end, a man in golden armor came over from the sky to take the
ancient senior holy warrior away.
That man claimed himself a Golden Law Enforcer, and he came from the bronze coffin.
