“Holy power?”

 The Fairy Empress also recognized the flame inside the necklace. The entire Fairy Empire was defeated by the power system to which the flame belonged, so she had a deep impression of it.

 “I don’t know.” She thought it over and did not recall any clues about the necklace. “There is no such necklace in this place in my memory.”

 “So it’s possible that my presence activated the necklace?” Lin Sheng guessed.

 The Fairy Empress remained silent.

 Lin Sheng didn’t mind. The coordinates of the passage were in his hands, and he was not afraid that the Fairy Empress would not obey his orders.

 If he was not satisfied, the Fairy Empire could be destroyed in an instant. Although he has absorbed enough soul force recently, he did not mind absorbing more. So for the survival of the Fairy Empire, the Fairy Empress must follow his orders anyway.

 “Investigate the origin and clues of this necklace,” Lin sheng ordered, “as quickly as possible.”

 “All right.” The Fairy Empress bowed her head and turned away.

 Lin Sheng was left there alone. Soon another attendant came to serve him.

 Leaving the necklace aside, Lin Sheng began to consciously read the ancient books.

 To his surprise, the Fairy Empire was so old that there were even books dating back thousands of years.

 One of the books, called “The Ancient City of Helix”, contained a series of historical events of fairies. The record of this book stopped two hundred years ago.

 Lin Sheng was very interested in the book and read it carefully.

 He moved the books he was interested in to the desk and sat down to read them. The time flow there was much slower than in the real world, so he had plenty of time to read the books slowly.

 Soon, he was about to finish reading “The Ancient City of Helix”. Suddenly, Lin Sheng stopped reading.

 “The pronunciation…” He scowled over the page that had just turned. The content sounded strangely familiar to the Deviltongue. He tried to whisper the word.

 “An… cel…lia?”

 “Ancellia was here?” Lin Sheng suddenly stood up, looking solemn.

 This place was very close to the real world he was now in, separated only by a Darkspirit Cavern of Caerphabor.

 “If Ancellia has actually been here, that would explain why there’s Blacktide in the real world. Because it means that the world that Blackfeather City is in is probably not far from the real world.”

 Lin Sheng walked back and forth in the book tomb, then stopped and picked up the book to continue reading.

 “…My friend Ancellia solemnly warned us of the great threat and deadly danger of the Blacktide and the Blacksea.

 “The message said, if you want to find out the truth of the Blacktide, you can go to the Infinite City. There she left the clues she had.

 “I’m skeptical. The Blacktide or the Blacksea, it sounds very real, but I don’t believe there’s such a strong threat that will destroy everything.

 “Ancellia did not argue with me, just left a message saying that if I want to find hope for salvation, then go to the Infinite City.

 “I haven’t seen her since. Maybe she left. Maybe she’s… dead.”

 The content stopped there.

 After lightly checking the pages of the entire book to make sure there was nothing hidden in the pages, Lin Sheng put down the book and sorted through the large chunks of information it contained.

 “Ancellia has been here and left a message to the Infinity City… Where is the Infinite City?”

 He motioned the attendant to move closer.

 The attendant was the keeper of the book tomb. The keeper was quite knowledgeable because he guarded the library all year round. He was very old, too, and his white beard was down to his knees, looking a bit messy.

 The keeper thought as he stroked his white beard and said, “The Infinite City… If I’m guessing correctly, you are referring to the City of the Seven Orders. That city has a nickname, the Infinite City.”

 “The City of the Seven Orders? Can you elaborate?”

 “Yes.” The keeper pondered for a moment.

 “The City of the Seven Orders was an ancient city that had been lost for a long time. There were many survivors of the gap living in the City of the Seven Orders, but then one day, without warning, the entire City of the Seven Orders disappeared. No one ever saw it again.”

 “Do you know why?”

 “Hmm… Some speculated that there had been a massive shift in the gap. Some speculate that something went wrong. We have scholars who tried to open the passage to the City of the Seven Orders before, but there were a lot of chaotic and dangerous gaps in the passage, and they couldn’t get through,” the keeper explained.

 Lin Sheng got it. There were too many gaps in the passage, all in a mess and no one could get near or through.

 He asked the keeper several more times for information about the Infinite City and Ancellia but found nothing.

 With no other option, he began to focus on the data of the power system of the Fairy Empire.

 The classification of the Fairy Empire was fairly straightforward.

 All Transcendents became fairy warriors once they entered into a contract with Fairy. Fairy warriors were generally divided into steel class, silver class, gold class, and the master.

 The Fairy Empress was the master, which was equivalent to the Palatinate level, but the nature of the master here was completely different from that of Palatinates.

 The master’s fighting capacity was mainly established through the unity of man and nature, which integrated with the surrounding environment. It would then mobilize the natural forces of heaven and earth to suppress opponents, while the Palatinates connected directly with the Tidal Gate and linked forces from the Rimtide to suppress opponents from a distance.

 In fact, the master’s explosive power was far more than that of Palatinates, but her endurance was far less than that of the Palatinates because the forces of heaven and earth that the master could mobilize was limited. Besides, Palatinates were like a continuous stream of water guns. Over time, they could spray more and more water, or eventually, submerge the areas far beyond the control of the master.

 Lin Sheng also looked at the cultivation system here.

 The fairies practice a meditation method called the Forest Heart. Other forms of meditation had been developed on the basis of the Forest Heart.

 Lin Sheng brought the Forest Heart into his cultivation system. He decided to try to combine the advantages of the two.

 As he spent more and more time here, his understanding of the Forest Heart deepened.

 Being at the Palatinate level, it was not difficult to understand the meditation method itself. Also, Rock Dragon’s blood was born with the ability to control the surrounding rock and soil. Soon, Lin Sheng had a deeper understanding of the Forest Heart.

 He tweaked it a little and changed it into the Rock Heart, which became his exclusive meditation method for the Rock Dragon’s bloodline.
