Chapter 1154: That Which Separated the Two... Was Time
There were two different worlds, one beneath the lake, one above it.
The figures were still on the move. There was no sound. Everything seemed like black and white. It was hard to describe. Hard to explain.
There was a fearless wind that came from somewhere, perhaps heaven or perhaps earth, blowing across the water. It stirred the hair of the ‘four’ people. The hair danced. The water rippled. No one spoke. The Immortal Lord said nothing. Xu Qing said nothing.
Eventually, when the sun’s brightness filled the sky, illuminating everything and causing the frost to shimmer.... Atop the water, a father and son reached the middle of the lake.
Immortal Lord Aurora stopped there. “Here we are. Presumably you recognize this place?”
Actually, Xu Qing did not recognize it. But the memories of Young Lord Aurora did. Images immediately popped up in his mind. This was the Nineshores Grotto-Heaven! It was the location of Immortal Lord Nineshores’ immortal palace.... He was the Immortal Lord of the current epoch, which was going to end in a month!
Of course, it was very different from the Aurora Immortal Palace. To mortals, the Nineshores Immortal Palace looked like a frozen lake. It lay quietly up in the mountains, like an exquisite jewel nestled amongst silver cloth. The mirror-like surface of the lake reflected the surrounding snow and the clouds. And it reflected the heart.
Beneath the surface of the lake, the currents flowed, and as multicolored light shone from heaven, dream-like illusions would appear, sinking into the heart to transform into numerous secrets.
It was like Immortal Lord Nineshores’ dao.
Secrets!
All people bear secrets. And every bit of history also had secrets hidden in it. Even a mountain or a river will contain unknown things. All secrets within the Fifth Star Ring had a source that could be controlled.
