What greeted his eyes was darkness. Amidst the darkness, Feng Hao saw that the stone walls around him were all embedded with night pearls. Although they weren't bright enough, they were enough for him to see the path ahead.
In front of Fenghao's eyes was a small path that led straight into the depths. Fenghao deeply inhaled a breath of air before he strode in with large strides.
After a short while, he finally reached the end and discovered that he had arrived at the center of the mountain. It was not a large space, but there was a stone platform at the center. A figure was seated on the stone platform. That figure looked old and clumsy. Clearly, he was not young.
"May I know who you are, senior?"
At that moment, Fenghao did not dare to be presumptuous. He clearly understood that the background of the figure in front of him was likely not simple.
"You can call me Tianjizi."
That figure slowly turned around, revealing an aged face. However, Fenghao noticed that even though this was the case, there was a radiance contained within those eyes of his.
"Senior Tianjizi, may I ask where this is?"
Fenghao immediately went straight to the point and asked.
"This is the Easternmost Lands, close to the borders of the vast continent."
Feng Hao was slightly taken aback. He naturally knew this, but he still asked respectfully, "May I ask, what are the races outside?"
"They are the crimes of the heavens and are imprisoned in the Easternmost Lands for life." Tianjizi spoke unhurriedly. He glanced at Feng Hao and asked, "Are you going out to sea?"
"Yes, I hope that senior can fulfill my wish." Feng Hao cupped his fists together.
"But to find the Darkness Island?"
"Yes." Fenghao did not try to hide anything. This was because he was clearly aware that there was no other objective for him to come here other than to search for the Darkness Island.
"I can give you a boat, but I have a condition." Tianjizi's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to seek Feng Hao's help.
Feng Hao furrowed his brows. How could he agree to this?
"The race that lives here is the Easternmost Tribe. Due to some ancient events, they were imprisoned here and can't leave. They don't have any cultivation either." Tianjizi's words were filled with a vicissitude of life.
"Perhaps what I ask of you will be very difficult, but I have no other choice. The future of the Easternmost Tribe depends on you."
At this point, a rare look of remorse appeared on Tianjizi's face, as if he had done something wrong in the past.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Fenghao's expression also slightly changed. The Tianjizi before him was already so old, but he was still an elder of the Extreme East Clan. There seemed to be some sort of secret behind this.
"A long time ago, the Easternmost Tribe was just a group of ordinary people who lived by the sea and fished for a living. There was a period of time when a genius appeared in the Easternmost Tribe with unparalleled cultivation aptitude. Very quickly, he stepped into the myriad of mortal worlds in search of the Dao that he pursued."
"In the vast continent, there were many ferocious demonic beasts of the Easternmost Tribe. For a period of time, the Easternmost Tribe was threatened by the demonic beasts of the Easternmost Tribe. However, everything changed after the appearance of that genius."
"That person returned to the Easternmost Tribe and became the protector of the Easternmost Tribe. Under his leadership, the Easternmost Tribe gradually fought against the demonic beasts of the Easternmost Tribe."
"However, everything quickly changed. One day, a group of mysterious and evil creatures appeared in the vast continent. The genius who was known as the protector of the Easternmost Tribe was bewitched by them and did many things that harmed the common people."
"In fact, in the end, the War of the Gods broke out and the people of the Easternmost Tribe were also implicated. The genius who was known as the protector of the Easternmost Tribe was personally killed by Hierarch Pangu and the entire Easternmost Tribe fell into a curse."
"The descendants of the Easternmost Tribe could no longer continue to cultivate and step out of the boundary of the Easternmost Tribe. Otherwise, they would die."
Listening to this point, Feng Hao instantly understood. The Easternmost Tribe was probably in the period when the demonic beasts descended.
Evidently, that genius of the Extreme East Clan had been bewitched by a demonic being back then. That was why he had committed such a grave mistake, causing the entire Extreme East Clan to be punished in the end.
"What do you want me to do?" Feng Hao slowly asked.
"There is a stone tablet left behind by Hierarch Pangu on the Easternmost Island. The power of this stone tablet suppresses the Easternmost Island. If you want to undo the punishment that Hierarch Pangu gave to the Easternmost Tribe, you must bring the stone tablet back."
Tianjizi said slowly, his expression filled with a kind of pleading.
"Wait." Feng Hao knitted his brows. "If that's the case, then wouldn't the Easternmost Island lose its suppression?"
Feng Hao immediately sensed that something was amiss. Hierarch Pangu had left behind a stone tablet to suppress the Easternmost Island. But if the stone tablet was taken away, it was unknown what would happen to the Easternmost Island. After all, the Easternmost Island was a place where the demonic beasts descended.
"I have also considered this, so I will hand you something." Tianjizi said in a deep voice. Then, he took out an item wrapped in a crystal that emitted a hazy divine glow and slowly handed it to Feng Hao.
However, Feng Hao's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the item. That was because the item wrapped in the crystal was a heart.
"This is the heart of our Easternmost Tribe's guardian. At the last moment, he woke up and realized that he had committed a grave mistake, so his heart was left behind. Hierarch Pangu once said that countless years later, as long as someone can take his heart and place it on the Easternmost Island, it will be able to replace the stone tablet."
"As long as the stone tablet is brought back here, the punishment of the Easternmost Tribe will disappear."
Tianjizi took a deep breath and said, "Over the years, the Easternmost Tribe has not produced anyone who can cultivate, let alone search for the Easternmost Island. Even the Demonic Beasts of the Easternmost Continent are not something we can deal with."
