Chapter 1686: Chapter 512: Spirit Communication Unleashes a White Crow

“Senior Clinton! Are you alright?”

Leonard Churchill looked at Elder Clinton lying unconscious on the ground, his eyes filled with deep concern and contemplation.

He had previously discovered a Forbidden Ruins Stele in the Rainbow Secret Realm and guessed that Elder Clinton would come looking for it or had already been here.

However, after soaking for several days without seeing him, just a quarter of an hour ago, the shockwaves of a battle dozens of kilometers away alerted Leonard and his two companions. That’s when a sneaky old man appeared out of nowhere.

It was Elder Clinton, who had mysteriously disappeared before.

Originally, Leonard thought that with such an elder anchoring the risks, they could afford to take more chances in the Rainbow Secret Realm.

However, the turn of events was extremely sudden.

Of course, Elder Clinton came for the Forbidden Ruins Stele.

Leonard had seen Elder Clinton read the stele in the Summer Pasture City Secret Realm and then regain his “other identity” to avert a disaster.

He initially thought that with Elder Clinton accessing his powerful other identity, their expedition to the Death Domain would be secure.

At least they would have that slim chance of survival under the elder’s protection…

But in reality, also unknown what Elder Clinton saw on the stele, he suddenly fainted on the spot while reading.

It was completely unexpected.

Beside the mist-enshrouded pool, Leonard, Sophia Jones, and Madam Mister looked at the unconscious Elder Clinton with incredibly serious expressions.

Sophia Jones slightly knitted her brows in concern and asked, “Leonard, what should we do now?”

Although the sounds of battle were still far away and the Secret Realm was vast, the three of them could hide if they tried to; at least in theory.

But they hadn’t forgotten that the Nether Peacock had said there was a terrifying “entity” within the Elemental Waterfall.

By asking this question, of course, she meant to inquire whether they should quickly leave or stay and observe the situation.

Staying put was risky.

But it also necessarily meant a chance for fortune.

This Death Domain was intertwined with the greatest secrets of this Plane, and the risks were equivalent to the fortuitous opportunities.

Much like this Moon Well.

After soaking for these few days, the three’s Elemental Affinity of their physiques had been refined to an extremely high level, in other words, their cultivation efficiencies skyrocketed by multiple times.

And the Moon had cleansed their souls, with each of them achieving tremendous improvement.

Take Leonard himself; the attributes like strength, physique, intelligence, etc., on his character panel surged by multiple degrees, and his proficiency in Divine Power increased manyfold… And keep in mind that this was not at a low-level, but at the Seventh Rank with single attributes over a thousand, a full-dimensional surge of several hundred points in attributes!

It could be said that if he didn’t consider solidifying the foundation of the Seventh Rank, just based on physical strength, he was already fairly confident he could advance to the Eighth Rank.

Never before had he gained such an increase as in these past few days.

So, this also made Leonard hesitate.

Especially after he understood the words left by Lanlingster on the stele, he felt more compelled to figure out exactly what was happening in the Death Domain.

Now, the ones engaged in fierce battle were the Three Great Outer God Sects, and their risk as bystanders wasn’t too great.

If that terrifying entity within the Elemental Waterfall were to be awakened and draw fire, it should first be aimed at those fellows.

Moreover, in Leonard’s deductions, the Three Great Sects might not necessarily be incapable of handling that entity.

In fact, they might have come specifically for it!

With this in mind, Leonard turned to Madam Mister and asked, “Madam, are there any arrangements from Old Bible?”

He had long suspected that Reuel Bible had a certain purpose in sending Madam Mister to join them from the secret passage to the sixteenth layer.

And since the map came from Dean Gustav, the Sect of Light surely knew about it too.

They even knew about the Moon Well, which meant they certainly were aware of the danger.

Yet they came anyway.

This suggested that a grand spectacle was soon to unfold.

“I don’t know either.”

Hearing Leonard’s words, Madam Mister shrugged her shoulders and explained, “The Prince only instructed me to meet up with you and find an opportunity to come down. I don’t know his arrangements.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard nodded, not feeling that Madam Mister was hiding anything.

She truly did not know.

Glancing again at the unconscious Elder Clinton on the floor, Leonard’s mind raced as he finally decided to stay and see how things would unfold.

Even though the elder was unconscious, his inherent crisis-avoidance Halo might still be of use.

With this thought, Leonard looked at Sophia Jones.

Sophia Jones understood his idea tacitly and nodded.

Without further explanation, Leonard hoisted Elder Clinton onto his shoulder.

He took another look at the Spring Water, feeling a bit regretful yet not dissatisfied.

The soaking for the past few days had already brought tremendous improvement, and they had filled many containers with the Spring Water, which was already a Big Chance.

Leonard said, “Let’s first go to the cliff we were at earlier. In case of any situation, we can immediately move up to the previous layer.”

The two women nodded.

Just then, a streak of white streaming light passed by, and a stunning figure appeared before them–it was the Nether Peacock whom they hadn’t seen for days. Clearly, she was also alarmed by the distant commotion of battle.

Different from her severely wounded state a few days ago, she now emitted a radiant glow, and her aura had strengthened significantly.

It seemed she hadn’t only recovered from her injuries but also benefited greatly from the Elemental Spring Water.

Furthermore, a faint red light shimmered at her brow.

That was the aura of the Divine Fragment.

Perhaps because her injuries were healed or due to the Divine Fragment, the previously near-fatal sorrowful expression between the Peacock’s brows had faded considerably.

Without waiting for her to speak, Leonard directly invited, “How about joining us? Once we leave the Death Domain, I can help you with my friend.”
