“Good! Then Fike, we have a deal!”
Xiao Zhao sang happily.
“In that case, let’s set off for Gufa Town Now!”
Fike put out the fire before packing the rest of his belongings in the cave. Then, he followed behind Xiao Zhao as they trudged southwest to Gufa Town.
Along the way, Xiao Zhao taught Fike a lot about this period he had found himself in.
For example, how to distinguish the people from each of the three tribes, and what kind of villages and towns were here.
After traveling for three days and three nights, Fike and Xiao Zhao spotted a small town with small columns of smoke rising from it.
Looks like that’s Gufa Town!”
Fike pointed out.
Xiao Zhao nodded.
“The sun is about to set. Let’s hurry there and find a place to rest!”
With that, the two sped up as they sauntered on toward the community in the distance.
As they arrived at Gufa Town, Fike first noticed that the houses here were built much lower than what he was used to.
Primitive green bricks and tiles formed neat stacks around the small area, acting as buildings.
Not far ahead, a group of people surrounded a towering stone tablet that was covered in mud, and were in deep discussion.
At his first glance of the stone tablet, a strong sense of familiarity rushed into Fike’s heart.
“This stone tablet… Could it be the one on the Sealing Mountain of Yogmo Academy?”
As Xiao Zhao overheard Fike mumbling to himself, she asked in a daze.
“What is Yogmo Academy? What is Sealing Mountain? How come I’ve never heard of these before?”
Looking at the puzzled Xiao Zhao, Fike smiled as he tried to explain.
“Er… It’s also a kind of immortal cultivation sect similar to the East Immortal Sect, and Sealing Mountain is just an ordinary small hill!
“Right! That should be the stone tablet you’re looking for. Let’s go take a look!”
With a perfunctory reply, he somehow managed to dispel the doubts in Xiao Zhao’s heart.
The two of them strode along toward the artifact.
“Woah, this really is good stuff! Even though I can’t understand the words that are written on it, it still feels very powerful!”
“That’s right! Every time I get close to this thing, I feel that there’s some kind of power continuously surging into my body!”
“In my opinion, as long as we keep coming to this stone tablet every day to observe, we can become immortals!”
As Fike listened to the group’s discussion, he could not help but become curious about the magic power of this stone tablet.
Thus, he asked the hidden message in his heart.
‘Hidden message! Hidden message! Can you see anything special about this stone tablet?’
[Hidden Information: This stone tablet contains an insurmountable amount of rich mana essence. Long-term exposure can change a human’s physique, allowing them to produce mana in the body.]
‘As expected!’
Fike figured calmly.
‘This stone tablet seems to be the reason that three thousand years from now, mages, assassins, and other classes will be everywhere in the land!”
[Hidden Information: Although the mana essence contained in the stone tablet can alter the physiques of ordinary people, because there isn’t yet any systematic cultivation methods or skills in this period, even if they become able to produce mana essence in their bodies, it would only be reflected by slightly improved strength and physique.]
When Fike saw this, he understood the meaning of the hidden message.
After three thousand years, the vicissitudes of life would be enough to change everything. Now, however, he was still staring at the beginning, the starting point of everything in Miracle.
Fike gazed at the stone tablet quietly.
‘Three thousand years later, the mana essence from this stone tablet would change everything!
‘When it had identified my class, I felt that there was only a little bit of mana essence remaining on that stone tablet back in Yogmo Academy!’
Fike was busy thinking to himself when Xiao Zhao had already arrived in front of the stone tablet.
After taking a quick look around it, Xiao Zhao excitedly waved at Fike.
“Fike! Fike! Come and take a look! This stone tablet is really strange!”
When the others saw what the pair were wearing, they began to size up and discuss the two newcomers.
“Hey, what do you think they’re wearing? Why do they look so good?”
“Yeah, why do I feel that even the leaders of the three tribes don’t have such good-looking clothes like theirs?”
At this moment, a white-haired old man took the initiative to ask the two of them.
“Excuse me, young man and young lady, where did you two come from?”
Seeing that someone was asking about them, Xiao Zhao politely replied.
“My name is Xiao Zhao. I came from the East Immortal Sect. I’m here to inspect this stone tablet!
“The silver-haired boy beside me is called Fike. He’s here to look for a guy named the original god!
“Right, Fike?”
Xiao Zhao looked at Fike. He nodded as he politely asked the old man.
“Grandpa, do you know about the original god?”
The old man shook his head.
“This old man has never heard of the original god, but…”
Seeing the old man pause, Fike quickly urged him on.
“But what?”
“However, I’ve heard of a world deity before. I wonder if little brother knows of a world deity?”
“World deity?”
Fike looked at the old man with puzzlement. The old man laughed as he continued.
“It’s no wonder you don’t know of a world deity. After all, you’re not from our Gufa Town.”
Fike put on a respectful appearance as he asked.
“Grandpa, please inform me about this world deity!”
Seeing the young man being so polite, the old man could not bear to keep him in suspense.
“According to legend, this world deity was a great deity who created our world!
“The world deity created the mountains and rivers, the sky and the trees. Of course, he also created us! Hahahaha!”
Fike listened earnestly to the old man’s tale and continued to ask.
“Then where is this world deity now?”
Seeing Fike’s serious expression, the people standing by the side started to laugh at him.
“Little brother, you actually believed what this old fellow said? That’s just a legend! Where would deities exist in this world?”
Hearing this, Fike realized that the old man in front of him was merely telling him stories from the legends of Gufa Town.
Fike could only reply indifferently.
“Alright then, thank you!”
Even after being teased, Fike still maintained a polite and respectful attitude.
As such, the old man continued to help him.
“Little brother, if you really want to find a world deity, I’d suggest you go to our Gufa Town’s temple to have a look, and maybe ask the cultivators there!
“Perhaps they’d know the whereabouts of a world deity? Hahahaha!” Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
Seeing that the old man had pointed out a direction to him, Fike thanked him.
After confirming his directions, he dragged Xiao Zhao along as he left.
“Hey hey hey, I haven’t completely understood the secrets of that stone tablet yet!”
“If you really want to know what it’s about, I can tell you directly!”
