I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 709

It was truly a mystical place, being surrounded by mountains and a multitude of strange flowers.

Chen Hao recognized the place as soon as he set his sight on the island.

This was the Nameless Island.

It was where the Holy Water Ritual was being held.

I’m afraid that Grandfather and the rest have already entered this place.

Chen Hao was now quite familiar with how the Stone of Fate was supposed to be used.

First of all, it would search the depths of the user’s heart; whatever was in the user’s heart, or whatever things that the person dearly yearned for, they would all be automatically reflected on the screen one at a time.

As for the matters regarding Tongxin and his grandfather's Holy Water appointment, they were all starting to reveal themselves.

There was a dazzling statue of an upside-down Lady in White on Nameless Island. This only served to make Chen Hao more certain of himself—this was most definitely the Nameless Island, where the Holy Water Ritual was located.

However, there was no sight of even a single person no matter how long Chen Hao waited.

Surely it couldn’t be that Grandfather and the rest haven’t made their way to their destination yet? Chen Hao was perplexed.

He focused his attention on the statue of the Lady in White for now.

“Ziyan, what does this stone statue have in relation with you? Or maybe I should say, why did you appear on this island?” Chen Hao took this opportunity to ask her that question.

“This island is a sealed location, not too far from the Sea Palace. As for me, I was pressed down by this statue beneath the Sea Palace!” said Ziyan as she looked at the image indifferently.

“Then what about the Holy Water Ritual? Rumor has it that this place had been active since the early days. All those who were invited possessed the cultivation levels of a Grandmaster, instead of someone like those from the Gu Family of the Mystique Clans. To be honest, I’ve always had this idea on my mind, that even if there is some conspiracy regarding the League of the Sun, whoever it is that they were targeting should also be akin to those from the Mystique Clans like the Gu Family since there are certainly a lot of experts there!” exclaimed Chen Hao.

Ziyan patiently explained, “Hao, the Mystique Clans are unorthodox because they used external forces in order to alter their cultivation base. They aren’t the same as those who rightfully trained their inner energy like a Grandmaster, who relied solely on cultivation! By comparison, the Grandmasters are much stronger!”

“The existence of the Holy Water Ritual is actually due to the holy pond on this island. It is one of the entrances to the Border Realm!” said Ziyan.

“The entrance to the Border Realm? The pond of holy water that could originally grant immortality was actually a place where one could enter another realm?” Chen Hao nodded his head in understanding. “Doesn’t that mean that those who went through the Holy Water Ritual may not have perished but were taken to another realm?” The realization suddenly dawned on Chen Hao.

“Yes! At every appointed time, the Border Realm would replenish itself by introducing new blood that was well-suited in order to maintain and expand the realm! Li Ba was one of those who were introduced!” Ziyan looked at Li Ba as she spoke.

“How did that place come to exist?” Chen Hao was even more curious now.

“I’ve told you before, this Border Realm is not some separate dimension. Similarly, it belongs to the Earth, and the people of the Border Realm are also humans. If you wanted to talk about the differences between the two, then you could also say that the Border Realm is the world within the earth, and here, is the world on the outside of the earth! Some tens of millions of years ago, many devastating catastrophes had occurred within the heavens and the earth. These catastrophes that occurred one after another had ended one era after another—the Cultivation Civilization was just one of the many. After the Cultivation Civilization had undergone a few more catastrophes, the genuinely rare treasures and essence of the civilization had died out completely. In that era, also known as the final stages of the ancient civilization, the people back then managed to discover the land underneath the Earth solely due to their strong will to survive. That land underneath the earth was also known as the Border Realm!”

Ziyan continued, “They have been separated from the rest of the world since then. It was rumored that no more humans were seen on the Earth after that, because the Earth was inhabited by the strange beasts from the Cultivation Civilization. But in the end, even those strange beasts were unable to survive the heavenly tribulations. Of course, countless years later, when humanity finally resurfaced and exchanged some favors with the Border Realm, the realm specially supported a select few cultivators. Although they did not have the Foundation in their bodies, they were also able to attain a certain degree of cultivation!” Ziyan was very detailed in her explanation.

Chen Hao nodded his head. “Could the Mystique Clans possibly be traced back to this?”

Ziyan nodded her head with a smile. “Yes, correct! Actually, the Nine Doors is a chess piece that the King of Nine Doors had laid down since a very long time ago in order to prepare for your appearance!”

Chen Hao was deeply lost in his thoughts.

“Ah!” Li Mumu, Su Ruoxi and the other girls who were quietly watching the scenes on the other side suddenly let out a yell.

“Hao, look!”
