Chapter 541: The Maze Beyond the Crescent Gate
Everyone stood frozen in disbelief.Just as they had suspected, this crescent-shaped island had been created by a Divine artifact. More than that, it had been formed by a Super Divine Artifact: the Ancient Moon Meteor Bow.
Just how terrifying did a weapon have to be to shape an entire island?
The girls immediately burst into excited chatter, their imaginations running wild. Even Jade, who was usually quick to hide her excitement behind mischief, couldn’t contain herself.
"Marcus, what do you think it looks like?" she asked eagerly. "What kind of powers do you think it has?"
Marcus could only smile wryly. "I honestly have no clue."
In truth, all he could do was hope for a miracle. Maybe the Crescent Moon Immortal Palace really was hidden somewhere inside the island. Maybe, against all odds, he’d stumble across the Ancient Moon Meteor Bow itself and walk away with a Super Divine Artifact... yeah, even he knew that was wishful thinking.
Still, Insight wasn’t finished yet. Marcus continued reading the information it revealed.

More than twenty thousand years ago, an ancient immortal known as Lamp-Lighter Daoist had accidentally discovered this hidden island beneath the sea. Sensing the tremendous spiritual energy gathered within the enormous cavern, he established the Crescent Moon Immortal Palace there as one of his secluded cultivation retreats.
He named the place Crescent Island and erected the stone monument at its entrance to mark its existence.
Then, during the great Divine War ten thousand years ago, Lamp-Lighter Daoist fell in battle, and Crescent Island slowly faded into legend.
Even if someone happened to discover it afterward, they still couldn’t enter. Before his death, Lamp-Lighter Daoist had sealed the Gate of Crescent Moon with an immensely powerful barrier. Without the proper method, forcing it open was impossible.

That was everything Insight could uncover. Marcus now understood the island’s history, but it still offered no useful information about what dangers lay ahead.
One detail continued to bother him, though. Silas the Wanderer had failed to pass through this gate two thousand years ago, yet the navy captain had somehow entered the island and even crafted the blue Sea Lion Key.
That meant the captain either possessed an extraordinary treasure or had found another way inside. Whatever the answer, he certainly hadn’t been an ordinary man.
