Chapter 572: Second Exploration of the Black Pearl

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu looked at the black pearl in his hand very carefully. After much hesitation, he decided to once again explore the pearl.

He had always felt that he was an ordinary orphan. His parents might not have been able to take care of him, or was naturally weak and had illnesses. That was why he was left at the door of the orphanage.

But ever since the magical era, Lu Shu had always had one question. The origin of his training was that black pendant in his swaddling clothes back then.

Whether it was the flame in his heart, the white tree mark in the center of his palm, the celestial map, Corpsedog, Concealed Arrow, and even his system to collect distress points, it had happened all at the same time that night.

He did not know what exactly had happened. But he was sure of one thing. His circumstance was not as simple as he had thought in these 17 years of living.

This black pearl gave him not only the hope of boosting his power, but also the possibility of tracing back his past.

Perhaps by knowing the origin of his bloodline, it would allow him to understand his own background. Lu Shu was not sure, but this unknown answer made him succumb to the temptation of going back into the black pearl and clarifying his thoughts.

His magical instincts unsealed the black pearl. The next thing he knew, he was inside the thick fog.

The fog gently circulated around Lu Shu. Lu Shu looked around and realized that he was not in complete darkness. There seemed to be a faint but magnificent sliver light beyond the fog. But it was blocked by the thick black fog, causing the light to be dimmed.

The ground beneath his feet did not seem to be solid. Lu Shu squatted down and touched the ground, only to realize that it was soil.

Lu Shu’s Sun mirror appeared. He had a bad feeling about this. When he felt the texture of the soil, he knew that something was wrong. After he had taken out his Sun mirror, he confirmed one thing, not only had his magical instincts entered the black pearl, his entire body was within the pearl as well!

There was a world within the black pearl!

“You are here.” The distant voice within the black pearl echoed in the desolate land. Lu Shu guessed that this world was not very large. If it were, there would not have been an echo.

Lu Shu did his best to calm down. “Who are you?”

While Lu Shu was speaking, he used the Sun mirror to illuminate his surroundings. In an unknown environment, Lu Shu was uneasy.

The voice said, “Who I am is not important. On the contrary, I am quite curious. Why have you appeared here?”

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “I received a black pearl by chance. I used my magical instincts to get here. Who on earth are you?”

The voice was still for a moment. “What is... the black pearl?”

Lu Shu was slightly surprised. He thought that since the voice had been here for a long time, there was no reason for it to not know what the black pearl was. Why was there a strange feeling? The concentration of magical energy here was much higher than that of outside. Lu Shu could feel the flow of air.

But there was another thing that he had to know. “Last time you mentioned ‘a familiar bloodline’. Are you talking about my bloodline?”

The voice was still for a moment. “It just felt familiar. But it was a long time ago. I can no longer distinguish what exactly the bloodline is.”

Lu Shu was very disappointed. He did not expect that the answer he got would not be able to solve the doubt he had. He also had no way of confirming whether the voice really did not know, or did not want to say what it knew.

“Who on earth are you,” Lu Shu asked loudly. “In what era did you live in?”

The black fog was still for a moment, as if the voice had never spoken.

Lu Shu was puzzled. Could you not answer such a simple question? Do I have find out myself...

Lu Shu did not even know where the voice came from. He thought about it and said, “Do you want to know how to get out of here?”

This sentence was based on Lu Shu’s judgment of the situation. He suspected that the voice had been trapped in this black pearl by someone.

Suddenly, the voice sounded with emotions that Lu Shu could feel, “Yes, I want to know.”

Lu Shu nodded his head. “I want to know too.”

“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +666!”

Ming Yueye?

Lu Shu had calmed down at this point. At first, the voice had made Lu Shu guess that it was some sort of spirit. But the moment he earned distress points, Lu Shu felt that the situation was not as scary as he had initially thought. At least the voice came from a person who could provide him with distress points, right?

Lu Shu felt that from the start till now, the voice had painstakingly curated the atmosphere to make it seem like it was a strong and supernatural presence. But this facade collapsed the moment distress points were produced...

Lu Shu was even more certain that the voice was from someone who was trapped here. This made him slightly disappointed. Was the black pearl used to trap people within it? This did not make sense. How could the person not even know what they were trapped within?

“Are you still around?” Lu Shu shouted, but there was no response.

Ha ha, pretending to be mysterious here? Lu Shu decided to uncover the actual situation. Ka! The Sun mirror in Lu Shu’s hand gave off a very bright light. Before Lu Shu could react, the person said, “What is this? Turn it off, turn it off!”

“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +666!”

Crash! There was the sound of shackles. Lu Shu saw the rays from the Sun mirror passing through the fog and illuminating a face. Ming Yueye’s four limbs had been shackled to a stone wall. He could only move within a five meter radius of the wall. He sat cross-legged on the soil, using his arm to shield his eyes...

The shackles were not made of an ordinary material. Lu Shu saw dark red lines scattered across the shackles.

Lu Shu stood a safe distance away and sized up the person in front of him. He was of small build and was topless. His linen pants were worn out, most likely because of age.

His face was very thin. He was a very simple person, but Lu Shu was highly wary of him. This was not because his appearance was very fierce, but because Lu Shu could not sense any waves of energy from him.

But for someone who had been trapped in such a mysterious place and had lived for an unknown period of time, how could he emit no waves of energy?

“Who are you?” Lu Shu asked calmly.

“I am... could you move that light in your hands first,” the person said. He had been in the dark for too long. No matter how impressive he was, there was no way he could resist such a strong ray of light. The eyes would forever be one of the weakest parts of a Practitioner’s body.
