Chapter 186 Bloodline Prophecy
Sensing the presence of alien power in the environment, the pages of the old secret book light up slightly, and just like before, it quickly absorbs the remaining power in the trace.
Feeling the last bit of alien power in the trace gradually disappear, Avis hung the Old Secret Scripture back around his waist, walked to the trace where the power was lost, squatted down, and reached out to touch the ground at the bottom of the trace.
It feels very strange, like talcum powder when you touch it. The rock has turned into an extremely fine dust, as if its structure has been disintegrated by some incomprehensible force.
Avis shook his fingertips, and the dust on the ground suddenly came to life, gathering together and forming a small ball.
Then, the small ball floated up and floated beside Avis.
This was most likely a trace of Evan's previous arrival, or a remnant of him ordering his family guards to move the statue.
But that doesn't matter, as long as this trace is significantly related to Evan's disappearance.
As a relative connected to him by blood, through this trace, Anvis can try to find Evan's specific whereabouts through a special blood prophecy.
Due to the blood connection, the success rate of this kind of prophecy is much higher than ordinary prophecies.
Of course, before coming to this island, he had actually tried to use the huge gem statue in Evan's wizard tower to predict Evan's whereabouts.
But unfortunately, the statue disappeared along with 'Evan'. This was what the Duke told Anvis when he applied to 'borrow' the statue.
Taking out the shallow crystal basin filled with moonlight mercury, Avis placed it on the ground of the altar, and then activated it with the prophet's unique power of fate feedback.
The calm mercury, like a mirror, emitted a soft silver light, as if the silver moon Sevien in the night sky suddenly rose from the basin.
Looking at this beautiful scene, Avis changed a few gestures, blending a ray of silver light into the calm mercury.
As the light spots fell, faint ripples emerged from the mirror-like calm surface of mercury.
Seeing this, Avis threw the small ball of dust beside him into the basin, and used magic to control the flesh and blood on his fingertips, took out a drop of his own blood that was glowing with a faint magical light, and also blended it into the moonlight mercury.
When the two were merged into the basin, the silver mercury mirror suddenly emitted a bright light, and a blurry image emerged from the mercury.
It was a dilapidated ruin.
The ruins are located in a desolate rocky desert. Since there are no general volume reference objects around, it is difficult to judge the specific area.
The next moment, the perspective of the image suddenly zoomed in and pulled directly down into the underground of the ruins.
A dark area that looked like an underground maze suddenly appeared in Avis's sight.
But at the same time as this picture appeared, a strange black and green color suddenly appeared in the center of the mercury.
Then, this bit of dark green spread rapidly like ink dropped into a cup of water, and almost instantly completely infected the mercury in the basin, turning the picture in it into complete darkness.
This is not the end. After obscuring the power of prophecy, the black and green alien power even extends directly to Avis's body along the subtle connection of the spell.
Joem's eyes suddenly focused, and his invisible will instantly turned into an icy sword edge, severing this connection.
As he cut off the connection, the old secret scripture on Anvis' waist lit up automatically and quickly absorbed the corrosive force.
Looking at the basin of moonlight mercury that had been completely scrapped, Avis put it away casually, and used his mental power to quickly construct a picture of the appearance of the ruins he had just seen.
After copying the picture onto a piece of magic parchment, Avis put it away and planned to ask the old explorer again after returning to see if he had any impression of it.
Then, Avis left the trace and walked to the back of the altar.
The traces related to Evan's disappearance have been dealt with, and he is now ready to take a look at the mysterious huge seal required for the "Old Secret Book".
Looking at the dark and deep empty area in front of him, Avis raised his slender silver staff. The irregular gem crystal on the top of the staff glowed with a faint blue light, and a bright white magic ball condensed out.
【Magic Light】
Condenses a bright ball of light without temperature and can be fired to detect dark areas in the distance. The maximum effective range is a radius of 300 meters with the caster as the center.
In the previous passive prediction scene, the dark seal that sealed the terrifying ancient power was hidden in the deepest dark corner behind the altar.
His biggest goal in this trip was to try to obtain the power that could possibly surpass the limit of the ninth level.
As Avis pointed his staff slightly, the pure white ball of light flew into the darkness at a moderate speed, illuminating the dark areas along the way like a giant firefly.
But Anvis soon discovered that things were a little different from what he had imagined.
Under the soft white light of the light ball, the surface of the rock wall in the deepest corner was smooth, without any trace of a seal.
With his brows slightly furrowed, Avis carefully floated to the stone wall, looking at the rough rocks there that seemed to be no different from the rest of the cave. He reactivated the old secret scripture and sensed it carefully.
But the feedback transmitted back from the mind actually showed that the material here was no different from ordinary cave walls in other places.
Can't even sense the power of the old secret scriptures?
Or is it simply because the level is not high enough to sense hidden things?
"Sir Qiaom, could you please check if there is anything hidden behind this stone wall?"
After thinking for a while, Avis turned to Joem and motioned him to go forward and explore the stone wall.
"Also, probing this stone wall may be very dangerous. Please be cautious and be ready to cut off your mental power at any time."
Suddenly remembering something, Avis added one more sentence.
After hearing Avis's solemn instructions, Joem's expression became serious. He slowly nodded to the boy, indicating that he understood.
Is there a terrifying danger hidden in this seemingly inconspicuous stone wall that even an eighth-level cultivator needs to be wary of?
Jom carefully extended a special structure of the mental probe and slowly inserted it into the rock layer, ready to activate the secret mark at the tail of the mental probe and cut it off completely.
But when the probe penetrated deeper into the cliff, Joem found that the detection results were normal and there was just an ordinary cave wall.
"I don't sense anything hidden, Lord Anvis."
Turning to Avis with some doubt, Joem retracted the probe and told him the results of his mental detection.
"Nothing hidden?"
Floating in the air, Avis stroked the cool and smooth shaft of the staff with his fingers, looked at the cliff, and pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, a slightly bold test idea arose in his mind.
"Well, Lord Joum, could you please strike this stone wall with your sword, a deeper one?"
