Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 790: Chapter 703: Digging Up the Roots?

In the depths of the Moon Lake Forest, a great earth-yellow python rushed towards even deeper places at high speed.

Suddenly, several surrounding crystal trees violently swayed without any warning, on the verge of breaking, even the toxic moon liquid became unstable, turbulence arose, and the danger soared significantly.

“Those two ancestors have started fighting.”

“No matter what happens, we cannot stop moving forward, even if it costs us our lives.”

The earth-yellow python’s progress became increasingly difficult, but thinking about the Fang Yu Map ahead, no one from the Earth Core Vein backed down, even with the presence of two ancestors there, their determination remained unwavering.

Swimming amid the dramatically chaotic moon liquid, the earth-yellow python constantly changed directions up, down, left, and right.

Before long, the earth-yellow python finally broke through the surface, arriving in another space, immediately the sight became vast.

“Haha, even some juniors have joined the commotion, it seems that splitting it in two isn’t enough, huh?”

“Great Owl Thunder Ancestor, I’ll ask you one more time, why not split it in half between us?”

“Not enough!”

“Then don’t blame me for being rude.”

The arrival of Ivan’s group caught the attention of the two ancestors, but they only took notice for a second, quickly dismissing them as inconsequential.

Subsequently, the battle between the old man in the black robe and the elder in the green robe intensified, even deploying their supreme ancestral forms.

One side unleashed thunderous might, as if a grand roc were cutting through the sun.

The other side unleashed wild winds and giant waves, with black winds and green waves surging mightily.

In the blink of an eye, the vast space became narrow, all affected by the ripples of the two ancestors’ battle, as if transforming into another world.

“With them fighting so recklessly, won’t the moon liquid rise back prematurely?”

“Given the current intensity, it certainly will, but it won’t affect us temporarily. We can just seize the opportunity to find our target.”

Ivan’s group was glad that they weren’t being taken seriously, wisely choosing to avoid danger and retreat to a corner.

From their corner view, the surroundings were already covered by the ripples of the ancestors’ battle, even their vision was impaired.

They slowly descended to the ground.

Ivan stared blankly at the barren land beneath him; he sensed that the Fang Yu Map cherished by the Earth Core Lineage was right below, likely deep underground.

Apart from him, others including the Dark Night Mother Goddess sensed it too, with varying strengths of intuition, but all confirmed one thing: the Fang Yu Map was underneath.

They exchanged glances, unable to fully conceal their joy for a moment.

“Let’s go!”

“Wait, it’s not wise to rush. Why not stay here and retrieve the Fang Yu Map quietly, to avoid drawing the attention of those two old ones.”

Someone suggested going directly deep underground, but the Dark Night Mother Goddess rejected it.

The Dark Night Mother Goddess didn’t believe those two ancestors would sit idly by if their group disappeared. Once noticed, it would be virtually impossible to safely retrieve the Fang Yu Map.

She preferred a slower pace.

This idea calmed the others down, and they agreed.

“Lilabet, you explore first, we’ll protect the surroundings for you.”

“Alright.”

The Fang Yu Map was indeed underground, but its status was unknown at the moment, likely not normal, or else they would have sensed it long ago without relying on an outsider to predict.

The Dark Night Mother Goddess did not decline, silently extending a thread of power underground, the subterranean scenes clearly emerging in her view.

Indeed, the Fang Yu Map lay deep underground, sprawling across the place, roots surrounding it, entangled. The space was large, as expansive as the Fang Yu Map itself spread wide.

Past the Fang Yu Map, the other side was filled with indistinct energies, vividly colorful.

“Lilabet, what’s wrong?”

Within moments, those around noticed her complexion darkening, growing tense, fearing perhaps something major had occurred to the Fang Yu Map.

The Dark Night Mother Goddess didn’t reply, continuing her exploration, her face turning almost to the point of dripping water.

“What’s wrong?” Once she came around, the Sea Mother couldn’t help but ask again.

“See for yourselves.”

The Dark Night Mother Goddess waved her hand, a faint light enveloped the surroundings, revealing the scene she observed to everyone’s perception.

It turned out that the Fang Yu Map had always been near, with all the crystal trees in Moon Lake extending from its power.

However, this power was suppressed thoroughly by the moonlight emitted by the silver moon. The giant trees were greatly transformed, resulting in the Earth Core Lineage being oblivious to it, never realizing this fact.

In other words, the Fang Yu Map had been continually sending out signals, showing its location.

Yet the Earth Core Lineage made a serious mistake, missing the best time to retrieve the Fang Yu Map; now it’s not that simple to acquire, for the Fang Yu Map has already integrated with Moon Lake, becoming the foundational root of the entire Moon Lake Forest.

To take the Fang Yu Map means not only uprooting the forest’s roots but also undermining its foundation.

The entire Moon Lake Forest would surely collapse.

Even disregarding all consequences, taking away the Fang Yu Map won’t be easy, for it’s intertwined with everything—they need to separate the Fang Yu Map from Moon Lake Forest, which undoubtedly requires immense power.

“How can it be!”

Now, the Sea Mother and others also became notably solemn, feeling caught off guard.
