ShiYan had indeed promised her.
Before he and Cecilia had any romantic feelings, he had agreed to help Cecilia with something.
If Cecilia hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it. He always thought that Cecilia had come to the ancient continent to collect the Water treasures. Cecilia had collected a lot of Water Heart Crystals in the desert. Shi Yan thought that it was her goal.
Listening to her, Shi Yan finally recognized that it was just his wishful thinking.
"You promised me. You will help me, right?" Cecilia's eyes were begging.
ShiYan smiled, nodded, and replied frankly, "That's right. I've promised you that I will help you."
He and Cecilia walked behind him. When Cecilia talked to him, she proactively held his hand. They lingered for a while to keep a distance from the others.
The others in the front didn't hear their conversation.
Mo Fou was still in the front of the team. In front of him was the strange lake with the reflections of the suns and moons. It wasn't just one. People counted and found that there were eighteen suns and moons, nine scorching suns, and the bright moon.
There were only gray clouds in the sky. They couldn't see any stars. The reflections of the sun and the moon in the lake looked really strange.
No one dared to act rashly.
Mo Fou halted and urged his energy discreetly. He wanted to sense the situation around him.
Audrey frowned and said all of a sudden, "We have to swim across the lake. The two sides of the lake are more dangerous."
No one dared to ignore Audrey's words. Everybody discolored. Looking at the lake, their hearts sank. They didn't know what to do.
Audrey looked at Mo Fou and said indifferently, "You're two miles away. You should swim across the lake first."
Mo Fou changed his visage.
As they had agreed, they would take turns. One of them would be the cannon fodder for ten miles. After Wu Feng and Wu Bai, it would be Mo Fou's turn. He had swum for eight miles already. If he hadn't encountered that strange lake, he could have completed his mission smoothly.
But now...
Mo Fou darkened his face. He could only accept his bad luck. He sighed and prepared to jump into the lake.
"Wait a minute."
Right at this moment, Shi Yan let out a light shout and walked over from behind everyone.
Everybody turned to look at him inexplicably. Mo Fou was especially bewildered. "What do you want me to do?" His attitude was very gentle because Shi Yan did not deliberately make things difficult for them along the way. He only helped them according to the rules.
"You can stop here. That lake … will be entered by us." Shi Yan turned around and looked at Cecilia.
Only then did everyone notice that Cecilia was following closely behind him. Her charming face was full of solemnity.
"You guys?" Shang Ying Yue screamed in surprise.
Shi Yan waved his hand and said, "That lake is a little special. Let us take a look. Everyone, please wait for a moment. I will inform you once I have an answer."
Mo Fou looked so grateful.
Everyone could see the strangeness of the lake. Mo Fou had even prepared for a disaster. At the critical moment, Shi Yan had proactively taken care of it. Although Mo Fou didn't know his intention, he was grateful to him. He had made up his mind that even if Shi Yan and Audrey had a conflict, he would stand on Shi Yan's side.
"Thank you." Mo Fou exhaled in relief. He took one step backward and said sincerely, "You must be careful. Something isn't right in that lake."
Audrey frowned. She looked at Shi Yan and then at Cecilia. She couldn't help but snort inwardly, but she didn't say anything.
If she didn't have any opinion, the others wouldn't either. It was settled.
ShiYan and Cecilia walked to the lakeside. ShiYan raised his hand, made a gesture, and said to the crowd, "Everybody, please step back. I have something to say to Cecilia."
Audrey nodded. Everybody stepped back. Only Shang Ying Yue stayed at her spot, looking at Shi Yan and Cecilia worriedly.
Shi Yan smiled. He didn't mind that Shang Ying Yue was still there. He asked calmly, "Can you tell me the situation now?" He looked at Cecilia.
"I have a teacher. She's very, very old. Ten thousand years ago, she used to come here..." Cecilia said weakly.
Her teacher cultivated Water power Upanishad. She had lived for ten thousand years. The last time she came here with her husband, they had also reached the center of the ancient continent. Eventually, they had reached this lake. Her teacher's husband had entered the lake. He had sunk little by little as if some invisible force was pulling him to the bottom of the lake.
When he had sunk to the bottom of the lake, that man had sent a soul message to Cecilia's teacher, asking her not to enter the lake. He had asked her to wait for more information.
Cecilia's master immediately waited.
Shortly after, the lake became normal again. There were no reflections. Everything looked normal.
Cecilia's teacher couldn't sense her husband's whereabouts. She entered the lake to search for him, but she couldn't find anything. It seemed like her husband had disappeared into thin air.
She stopped exploring the ancient continent and started to search inside and outside the lake. She had been searching for several years. When she was thrown out of the ancient continent, she couldn't find her husband.
It had become her worry.
After that, she got out of the ancient continent and returned to her life star. She was still searching for her husband. Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything.
She was sure that her husband had disappeared in the center of the ancient continent's lake. Perhaps, he had been dragged to some mysterious place or confined in some special space. Perhaps, he was dead...
She didn't hope to meet her husband again. However, she wanted to see his remains. Thus, she had accepted a disciple and taught her power Upanishad. She had even found the Guiding Fruit for her disciple to enter the ancient continent after ten thousand years. She hoped that her disciple could fulfill her request.
"My teacher said that the lake has some magical features of Water power Upanishad. It can even fuse with space. She couldn't see how dangerous it was. She said that I should cooperate with the warrior who cultivates Space power Upanishad. If we get in there together, we can figure out the secret. "Cecilia looked at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan understood it suddenly.
No wonder why Cecilia was so interested in him when she knew that he had used Space power Upanishad. Later on, she wanted to join many things and stay with him to deal with Mia's team.
Cecilia had wanted to borrow his power for a long time.
It was because he knew Space power Upanishad.
"I want to get into the lake. I've promised my teacher that I will help her find her husband's remains. It's all because of my teacher that I can come here and have my achievements today. I can't let her down. "Cecilia looked at Shi Yan and said tenderly," Help me... "
"Okay." Shi Yan smiled and agreed. He turned to Shang Ying Yue and said, "You heard it. I know what happened. I'm going to the lake with her. Don't worry. I'll be alright."
"I'll go with you guys," said Shang Ying Yue all of a sudden.
"No need," Shi Yan stopped her, "I can handle it. You just stay by the lake and watch. Leave it to me."
Shi Yan didn't wait for Shang Ying Yue to say more. He leaped up and pulled Cecilia into the lake. They didn't make any splash. Quite the contrary, they just went through a door and disappeared.
Shang Ying Yue was frightened.
Shi Yan and Cecilia had jumped into the lake. However, she couldn't find any trace of Shi Yan and Cecilia in the lake. It seemed like they had disappeared into thin air.
The clear lake was still as clear as a mirror. The reflection of the sun and moon could still be seen in the lake, as well as the reflection of the clouds. Everything seemed to be normal.
Shang Ying Yue felt her hair rising on her nape.
Where did Shi Yan and Cecilia go?
Audrey, Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, and the others saw Shi Yan and Cecilia jump into the lake. They came from behind and stood by Shang Ying Yue, looking at the lake skeptically.
Shang Ying Yue took a deep breath and told Audrey what she had found. She knew that Audrey wasn't an ordinary woman. She wanted to use Audrey to find Shi Yan and Cecilia.
Audrey's face changed. She immediately closed her eyes and urged her soul altar. She used the Soul Searching technique of the Imperial Dark Tribe to search for them. Her Soul Consciousness seeped into the lake...
After a while, Audrey shook her head with a cold face. She said affirmatively, "I can't sense their auras in the lake!"
Everybody's face became heavy.
"Don't rush. Shi Yan isn't like the others. He can deal with it." Audrey pondered for a while and then comforted them. "We should wait and see."
As they didn't have a better idea, they could only agree with her. They scattered and gathered by the lake. They focused on the lake and waited for Shi Yan and Cecilia.
…
"Where are we? We're not at the bottom of the lake! "
Cecilia lifted her head to look at the sky and screamed in shock.
Shi Yan's face was also strange and solemn. He lifted his head to look at the sky and mumbled, "Is this the real world?"
Nine suns and nine moons hung high in the dark red sky. The eighteen suns and moons were arranged in a special way, forming a strange formation. The eighteen suns and moons released scorching sunlight and cold moonlight, like beams of light piercing through the sky and the earth, illuminating this place.
The ground under their feet looked like a massive crystal with dazzling starlight moving inside.
Above their heads were the suns and moons while under their feet was a river of stars. They couldn't even see this world in their dreams. It was extremely strange.
Shi Yan wasn't sure if it was real or not. He couldn't help but urge his soul altar to change the Ethereal Extent and urge his Star power Upanishad.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! The light from the suns and moons in the sky and the sparkling starlight under his feet seemed to revive. Energy surged torrentially and entered his God Body.
The suns and moons above his head moved. The light from the suns and moons shone on his body.
"Oh my God! It's real! "
Shi Yan couldn't help but groan, his face incredulous.
This wasn't the Ethereal World!
The suns, moons, and stars in the Ethereal World couldn't bring him any beam of energy. The Star power Upanishad couldn't work in the Ethereal World. This place was real, but... was it still an ancient continent?
Cecilia covered her mouth and screamed in fear. She couldn't believe it, looking at the suns, moons, and starlight pouring into Shi Yan's body. She suddenly saw an Ethereal Extent emerge above Shi Yan's head. She could vaguely see the sun and the stars in that Ethereal Extent. That Ethereal Extent was very similar to the world they were in.
