Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 789: Chapter 702 Unknown Enemy_2

The great earth yellow python continued forward.

In this way, they traversed numerous paths, big and small, and gathered a total of three varied lengths of the Root of the Earth, while a faint sound of water waves came from ahead.

It was the Moon Liquid retreating to the bottom!

“Hurry!”

“Thank you, Sorcerer Ivan, I knew my mother’s guidance wouldn’t fail.”

“You are right.”

Faced with the words of the Dark Night Mother Goddess, Ivan did not refute.

It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something he foresaw earlier using the Prophet’s Treasure Tome; the prescience exerted its influence mysteriously, providing guidance upon encountering some crucial things, though not always.

This time, his luck seemed favorable, perhaps genuinely owing to the Mother of Earth Core’s protection.

“The urgent matter now is figuring out how to safely pass this next layer.”

The next layer was far broader than the passage they entered earlier, akin to the magma strata in Danaila’s underground labyrinth, though the Moon Liquid here appeared unchanged, still crystal-clear, its toxicity had intensified.

Everyone present could sense it.

They had to act swiftly because the hidden paths had another trait — once someone discovered them, others passing by wouldn’t overlook them as before, due to their peculiar nature.

“What is there to fear? At worst, death.”

“The object sought for tens of thousands of years is ahead, and dying for it would be worth it. We’ve long been prepared for this outcome.”

“It should be this way.”

Several members of the Earth Core Lineage once again ignited their courageous spirit, causing Ivan to wonder in his mind while also admiring them anew.

In order to save time, they clearly planned to charge through forcefully, without objection even from the Dark Night Mother Goddess.

“Sorcerer Ivan, maybe it’s best if you stayed here to wait for us or retreated early? You have done enough for our Earth Core Lineage. We will remember your kindness, and in the future, if you have any demands, we will undoubtedly demonstrate our sincerity.”

“Indeed, henceforth, you will be an honored benefactor of our lineage; any requests, feel free to express.”

The Dark Night Mother Goddess immediately agreed, and her speech received affirmation from Sea Mother and others.

The status of the Fang Yu Map within the Earth Core Lineage was unshakable, and Ivan played a crucial role in finding it, making him a great benefactor of the Earth Core Lineage, which no one could deny.

“Lady Lilabet, if you’ll pardon my boldness, could you tell me the source of your information here?” Reaching this point, Ivan, not one for pretentious courtesy, asked straightforwardly.

At his words, the Dark Night Mother Goddess’s face froze.

Sea Mother and others looked at her in bewilderment, not understanding why she seemed troubled.

“Sorcerer Ivan, this is a complex matter. Once I achieve the true goal of this journey, I will surely tell you the details, though you will eventually come to know.”

“Agreed.”

Having reached an understanding with the Dark Night Mother Goddess, Ivan did not withdraw midway; he wasn’t one to leave things half-done, especially with Jenny and Meg in the team, and he couldn’t sit idly by.

The next moment, they prepared to force-cross the Moon Liquid Layer.

“Next, everyone must hold nothing back. Nobody knows how thick the current Moon Liquid Layer is; use any defensive powers you possess.”

“Understood.”

As expected from the Earth Core Lineage descended from the Mother of Earth Core; while She lived, it was Danaila’s strongest force, no contest.

The Earth Core Lineage also enjoyed the Mother of All Things’ trust.

The defensive treasures in the hands of the Dark Night Mother Goddess’s group were noteworthy, with the weakest being intermediate Original Force Treasures, and Jenny and Meg were no exceptions.

Ivan possessed an upper-class Sorcerer’s Ghost-Face, holding his own among them.

The group formed a Fangyu Formation according to their respective positions; the great earth yellow python reemerged, its defensive power layering continuously, with various powers alternatingly mingling, elevating its might by several degrees compared to before.

“Splash!”

The great earth yellow python twisted and turned, breaking the water’s surface and delved into the extremely malicious Moon Liquid.

One could see the surrounding Moon Liquid boiling at a visible pace, corroding the python’s outer layer with a sizzling sound as gray smoke rose up.

This scene made Ivan, situated in the middle section of the great earth yellow python, shudder. Fortunately, the main array bearer was not him but the Dark Night Mother Goddess.

The Dark Night Mother Goddess had to shoulder the greatest pressure.

At this moment, everyone exerted themselves fully; the great earth yellow python roamed deep within the Moon Liquid, continuing swiftly in one direction.

“I’ve sensed it,” suddenly said the Dark Night Mother Goddess, after a long while.

“Truly?”

Her words were vague, yet the others listened intently; the Dark Night Mother Goddess had sensed the Fang Yu Map, the long-lost Fang Yu Map was finally about to return to the Earth Core Lineage.

“Push harder.”

The Earth Core Lineage members suppressed their emotions, vigorously urged their powers.

However, before their joy could last long, an unexpected situation arose.

Others caught up later, not only overtaking their group but also casually passed nearby with no regard for them.

“Thanks for the lead, youngsters, haha.”

There were two figures in total, one in front and one behind; the first figure remained silent, while the latter cheerfully addressed them, with a tone filled with mockery.

The pair rapidly left Ivan’s group behind.

“It’s the Ancestor! So indeed someone was hiding behind.”

“What now?”

“If Mother were still here, who would dare treat us like this? Damn it, let’s fight them!”

The two Ancestors swiftly disappeared from sight, not even their silhouettes were visible; the ones ahead likely had disguises, and the Dark Night Mother Goddess recognized the one behind as the ’Great Owl Thunder Ancestor.’

With the Ancestors leading the way, War Fire and the others were suddenly flustered.

“Things haven’t reached the worst yet; remember, in Sorcerer Ivan’s foresight, there lies an unknown shadow below that isn’t easy to handle; their rushing ahead might even help us deal with it, saving us the trouble.”

“Lilabet, they’re going, and our things will be lost.”

“Stay calm; their target is the object descended from the Chaotic World, differing from our goal. There’s no need to panic for now.”

Though anxious, they refrained from mentioning the ’Fang Yu Map’ directly, just as before, terrified of revealing the most crucial secret.

Currently, without a better plan, they hastened forward.

Someone silently prayed in their heart, hoping the Fang Yu Map wouldn’t be discovered by others.

…

The two figures almost simultaneously broke through the Moon Liquid, stepping into the space on the other side, where a vast, barren plain drew into view.

Crystal trees grew naturally here, visible in brown color, appearing no different from normal giant trees.

“Click-click, what a magnificent scene, still standing against Moon Transformation; these are all priceless treasures,” remarked the right side’s burly green-robed elder.

“Aren’t you worried that uprooting the crystal tree will collapse the entire Moon Lake?” said the left side’s skinny black-robed old man with some disapproval.

“And if it collapses? At most, it falls into the Hidden Realm, sparing me the effort of traveling,” the green-robed elder shrugged off nonchalantly, then sneered as something crossed his mind:

“Heh, Mr. Dongxi, why the hidden act? No matter how you hide, the Ancestor recognizes you; besides, I’ve done business with you.”

“Guess all you want. Speak, below that thing, is it every man for himself or shall we split it?”

Facing the green-robed elder’s speculative identity, the black-robed old man didn’t respond directly but diverted the topic toward the chaotic object fallen on the plain.

A stone spewing dense Chaos Qi laid there.

The whole stone appeared blackened, its surrounding space distorted by the Chaos Qi, its true form easily obscured; however, both men knew well that anything falling from the chaos wasn’t ordinary, its intrinsic value awaited their discovery.

As for the crystal trees withstanding Moon Transformation, before the chaotic object, they held no worth; neither of them was genuinely concerned.

Upon the black-robed old man’s words, the entire ambience in the space turned stiff, and the Chaos Qi on the chaotic object was immobilized as well.
