With a flash of blinding light, Kent felt an intense pressure closing in from all sides, his senses momentarily overwhelmed by the distortion of space.
In the next heartbeat, the sensation vanished, and he found himself standing on solid ground once more. Blinking rapidly, he took in his surroundings. Before him, in the distance, loomed a stone castle, its imposing structure a stark contrast to the barren land that stretched for miles around.
Following Jia’s lead, the group stepped out of the teleportation formation, their eyes fixed on the castle entrance.
This desolate stronghold, situated on the eastern side of the Blue Planet, was one of the last bastions of the Wizard Association in these empty lands. The landscape was bleak, devoid of any greenery, a sea of cracked earth under a pale sky.
As they approached the castle entrance, wizards clad in dark robes directed everyone towards the path leading to the inheritance ground. The castle itself seemed almost abandoned, its grandeur marred by the desolation that surrounded it. There was nothing to linger for in this distorted place, so they quickly resumed their journey towards the inheritance ground awakening place.
Jia, sitting on a majestic white wolf, led the way with an air of authority and grace. Her wolf flew with a fluid elegance, its fur shimmering under the pale sunlight. Kent, along with the others, mounted their own pets and followed her. Kent’s mount, a sleek Fire Kirin, moved silently, while it’s fiery mane glowed.
As they soared through the air, the barren landscape below began to show signs of life. In the distance, Kent noticed other groups of people moving in the same direction, their numbers steadily increasing. The path to the inheritance ground was becoming a convergence point for many, all drawn by the desire of ancient power and secrets waiting to be awakened.
Jia felt annoyed by constant chatter of Fatty and Tata Lan with Kent. As she always moved alone, she didn’t like the constant buzzing sounds and loud laughter.
The silence of the empty lands was broken only by the sound of their mounts’ movements and the occasional murmur of the wind. Kent glanced around, his eyes scanning the other travelers. Surprisingly, some were on foot, their robes billowing behind them; others rode various mystical creatures, each more fantastical than the last.
Jia’s silently moved in the front while occasionally checking her glass orb. Her gaze remained focused ahead, her posture unwavering. Behind her, Kent exchanged a glance with Fatty, who looked both awed and excited. Master Lan and Tata Lan rode side by side, and Master Lan is trying his best to control his daughter who is annoying him to the core.
The journey continued, the landscape slowly shifting as they neared their destination. The once sparse groups of travelers had now become a mob, a river of people all flowing towards the same goal.
As they approached, the ground beneath them began change. The barren land slowly turned into desert sand. Kent felt the presence of a slight pressure which making their journey little troublesome.
“Master, what is this strange force?” Fatty who is struggling to hold on Jabil, uttered in a painful tone.
Peak Master Porus hurriedly tossed applied his aura to help Fatty and gave a glowing pearl ring to Fatty. After wearing the ring, Fatty felt relieved from the strange pressure.
“These are the symptoms of an inheritance ground awakening. The land below will turn into desert to support the uplifting of the inheritance ground. Also, the pressure is due to the phenomena of Inheritance ground awakening. These are still early symptoms. In the next three days, this pressure increases a lot and you will see several large earth cracks.”
Porus explained while observing the distant place where several camps and magical buildings were rose high into air.
In the distant land, new structures dotted the landscape as countless people set up their camps, all eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Inheritance Ground.
The area buzzed with activity, wizards wearing the symbol of an octopus—a mark of the Wizard Association of the Blue Planet, guiding the newcomers. Their primary task was to verify the identities of disciples and their companions, ensuring everyone who entered was properly accounted for.
Jia, sitting on her white wolf, flew directly towards an elder wizard overseeing the arrivals. The elder, a man with a long white beard and a robe shined with the octopus symbol, looked up as Jia approached. She landed gracefully and presented her token, a mark of her high status.
“Ah, Jia,” the elder greeted her with a warm, familiar smile. “It’s good to see you.”
“Nice to meet you, Elder Wen. My grandpa asked me to convey his wished on your promotion to head wizard rank.” Jia replied, handing over her token.
“By the way, these people are with me,” she said, gesturing to the group behind her.
Elder Wen nodded and began verifying the identities of Kent and Tata Lan, his eyes sharp and efficient. After a few moments, he handed each of them a token marked with the octopus symbol. “These tokens are your entry permission into the Inheritance Ground. Keep them safe,” he instructed.
He then turned his gaze to Kent. “The other three members of the Eternal Sun Sect are residing in the tents on the backside. Do you wish to join them?”
“No need, Elder Wen. We will take an empty plot. I have a magic castle with me.” Kent, who know that the matter of peak master Porus’s should kept secret, quickly denied the elder with a smile.
Elder Wen raised an eyebrow but nodded, showing no further curiosity. “Very well. Safe stay, and be wary of the variation below ground.”
With a few more words, Jia parted ways with Kent group. She moved towards the central tower, glowing with the octopus symbol, while Kent led his group in search of an empty space.
