The brother and sister's destination was Notting City.
They were currently in a desolate wasteland, barren of everything.
Eight days had passed, and they hadn't seen a soul, let alone found a carriage.
Fortunately, Dongfang Jing had a flash of inspiration. Relying on his memories from his past life, he painstakingly pieced together a mountain bike using his Shattered Mirror Martial Soul.
He had also meticulously adjusted the wheels to fit the uneven terrain.
With the added boost of soul power, riding was effortless.
As long as a trace of soul power was occasionally injected, the bike could maintain its momentum without dissipating.
Dongfang Yao sat sideways on the back seat, her arms around her brother's waist, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she felt the cool breeze:
"Brother! You're amazing! Even if you weren't a Soul Master, you could definitely live a very comfortable life just by writing stories or doing crafts!"
Dongfang Jing smiled but didn't reply.
What kind of genius was he? He was merely standing on the shoulders of giants.
The mountain bike, crafted from a martial spirit and enhanced by spirit power, was naturally far faster than any ordinary bicycle.
Looking up at the sky,they saw it was already dusk and decided to find a place to rest.
However, they were surrounded by mountains, some soaring into the clouds.
Setting up a tent in the middle of the road? It didn't seem safe.
Although he had the ability to climb high mountains, what lay beyond?
With a thought, he activated his eye spirit bone, using its clairvoyant ability.
In an instant, the scene beyond the mountains was revealed— more mountains than mountains.
He increased his spirit power output, extending his vision beyond mountain after mountain.
As his vision stretched further, Dongfang Jing finally saw a different view!
Behind several high mountains lay a secluded valley.
More precisely, a pool of water, crystal clear, tranquil and deep.
On one side of the mountain wall, a waterfall about twenty meters wide cascaded down from a height of nearly two hundred meters, its roar like thunder!
Surrounded by mountains, lush with vegetation, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, it was like a fairyland!
He immediately decided to cross these mountains and spend the night there.
"Yao'er, come here." He opened his arms.
Dongfang Yao understood and opened her arms, letting him easily lift her up.
Dongfang Jing summoned his martial spirit, and under his precise and energy-efficient control, the shattered mirror condensed at his will, forming a floating staircase in the air, leading straight to the mountaintop. Step, step, step,he lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepping onto the mirror, his figure agile and swift, climbing straight to the summit.
The little girl in his arms couldn't help but glance down.
Clouds and mist obscured the ground, and the thin air at high altitude made her face pale. She quickly closed her eyes and buried her head in her brother's arms.
Up and down, up and down...he didn't count how many times they repeated this, or how many mountains they crossed, but they finally arrived at the pool.
Dongfang Yao let out a long sigh, surveying the breathtaking scenery, and immediately felt that the danger she had just experienced was all worthwhile!
Dongfang Jing activated his soul bone again, carefully examining his surroundings.
Could such a beautiful place harbor any dangers?
For example, could a 100,000-year-old soul beast be lurking beneath the pool?
But after checking, he realized he was being overly suspicious.
So they set up camp on the nearby grass.
The air was fresh, and the scenery was delightful.
It was indeed a good place for cultivation.
But unusually, neither of them meditated; instead, they leaned against each other, quietly listening to the sound of the waterfall cascading into the pool, enjoying the rare tranquility.
Looking at the magnificent waterfall, Dongfang Yao suddenly had a wild idea: "Brother, do you think there might be a Water Curtain Cave behind the waterfall? Is this Flower and Fruit Mountain, and the Monkey King lives in the cave?"
"I've told you so many times, that monkey is just a made-up story." Dongfang Jing sighed helplessly; this girl's imagination was truly boundless.
He had told her many famous stories when she was little, and she still believed them!
He thought the conversation was over, but the little girl stood up, saying she wanted to go and investigate.
Dongfang Jing quickly pulled her back: "Don't be silly, how much impact must the waterfall have when it crashes down from such a height? How can your little body withstand it?"
Dongfang Yao pouted, but obediently sat back down.
But her big eyes still gazed longingly at her brother.
"Sigh," Dongfang Jing sighed,
"Soul bones aren't used for things like this."
He complained, but still activated his soul power, reactivating his eye soul bone.
"I'll do as you say this time, since I'm your good brother."
"Mmm! Brother is the best!" She immediately started to act coquettishly, hugging the boy's arm and shaking it back and forth.
Dongfang Jing looked at the waterfall and muttered, "There's no Water Curtain Cave."
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze following the waterfall upwards: "I told you, that story is just... Holy crap! It really exists?!"
Dongfang Jing rubbed his eyes, his cold face filled with shock.
In the middle of the waterfall, there really was a cave!
And it was clearly man-made!
Dongfang Jing instantly became alert and searched the surroundings again, but still found no trace of anyone.
He focused his attention and continued to explore inside, his gaze passing through the cave to its deepest point.
Looking up, there was a stone hole at the top of the cave wall, below which was a stone chamber of about ten square meters.
The room was empty, with no furnishings.
Only directly below the stone hole was a small mound of earth.
On the mound, a blade of grass stood, resembling Blue Silver Grass, yet its branches and leaves were longer and thinner than ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Most peculiar were the fine golden veins on its leaves.
Dongfang Jing was utterly perplexed.
Who would be so idle as to plant a plant in this dark, sunless cave?
His gaze shifted upwards, his pupils suddenly contracting!
He saw a black box, seemingly secured by some mechanism.
But Dongfang Jing could clearly see what was inside!
He recognized it at a glance—a Soul Bone!!!
He checked repeatedly, confirming that no one else was around, feeling utterly surreal. It was too dreamlike.
This wasn't just idleness; it was the work of a god!
Who on earth would hide such a treasure in a cave?
"Brother, what's inside? A Soul Beast?" Seeing his solemn expression and furrowed brows, Dongfang Yao also became tense.
Dongfang Jing looked at his sister as he pondered, his eyes gradually hardening.
He gritted his teeth, making up his mind.
He would risk it all!
Dongfang Jing worried that this was something a powerful figure had temporarily stored away.
Perhaps they were waiting for the right moment to absorb it, or perhaps they intended to leave it to their descendants?
If that were the case, why not store it in a soul tool? As powerful individuals, wouldn't it be safer to carry it with them?
Dongfang Jing couldn't understand it.
Therefore, he suspected that this soul bone might be bait, a trap to lure someone in.
Could the real trap be the Blue Silver Grass?
Once someone entered a certain range, the grass would instantly sprout countless vines, sucking the intruder's flesh and blood dry?
A soul bone falling from the sky? Dongfang Jing didn't believe such a good thing could happen.
But thinking of Yao'er, if she absorbed this soul bone, her soul power and strength would leap forward!
Therefore, even if it was a trap, Dongfang Jing was determined to go through it!
