Chapter 514 The Real World
In the eyes of the average person, life may simply be a hazy journey from birth to death. But Jonathan had a much deeper
understanding of the passage of time and the meaning of life. He knew that it was not easy to go through life in this world.
Life was like the morning dew, fleeting!
Once one reached the end of the road, there was no turning back. So, it was important to strive to live without any regrets.
Jonathan often wondered what it would be like a hundred years from now.
By then, he wouldn't be dead. But most of his friends around him would have aged and passed away.
That would be a truly strange experience.
Mabel once told Jonathan that she hoped to always be friends with him as they lived their lives.
That was because she had more insight. The friends and lovers around Jonathan would all age with time, but she could remain
timeless with Jonathan!
There might be separations between lovers, but close friends were like aged wine, the older they got, the more fragrant they
would become.
What Mabel had in mind was a hundred years from now, she could roam The Void with Jonathan, exploring the mysteries of the
cosmos.
In this process, if Jonathan halted his progress, Mabel's wishes would be left unfulfilled.
"Let's go!" Rhiannon said.
She suddenly spoke, pulling Jonathan's thoughts back to reality.
Jonathan looked at Rhiannon, who wore a cool and detached expression, not saying much. Jonathan couldn't decipher what she
was thinking.
However, given the circumstances, Jonathan naturally wouldn't insist on anything further.
The two of them flew forward together.
From that point, they traveled over a thousand miles, and finally, at five in the afternoon, the two of them arrived at a desolate
area of the Dead Sea.
Above the Dead Sea, the view was pretty much the same everywhere. How much variety could there be in the scenery across
the surface of the sea?
At this moment, the setting sun was ablaze. The surface of the sea was shimmering.
"Is the enchantment around here?" Jonathan couldn't help but ask Rhiannon.
Rhiannon had been quite aloof all the way, and Jonathan didn't say much either.
However, at this moment, Jonathan couldn't help but ask Rhiannon.
Rhiannon said, "I determined this location based on the direction of the sun and the latitude and longitude of the horizon. Yes,
the enchantment is in this area, but I can't be sure which specific area it is." She paused, then continued, "It has to be at
midnight, and there must be moonlight. At that time, I will take out the key of the Crown of Duality and activate it with Balanced
Duality Mantra. In this way, the enchantment will reveal itself."
Jonathan couldn't help but take a sharp breath, saying, "No wonder no one has been able to find Pollerton Tomb for so many
years. If it weren't for your insider knowledge, even if outsiders searched for a thousand, ten thousand years, they still wouldn't
be able to find it!"
Rhiannon said, "Let's find a place to rest for now. We'll make our move when night falls."
Jonathan nodded. He glanced again at the vast sea, finding it really hard to locate a place to rest!
However, this didn't deter Jonathan and Rhiannon.
Subsequently, Jonathan unleashed Ice Frost. With his formidable magic power, he turned everything within a ten-meter radius
into sheer ice.
An icy plot of land, ten meters in diameter, formed on the surface of the sea.
Jonathan and Rhiannon landed on top, then Rhiannon took out a spare bed from her storage ring and set it up, making the bed
afterward.
It was actually quite peaceful after that.
The temperature of the sea was significantly higher than that of the ice, continuously melting it. However, Jonathan immediately
asked Rhiannon for a gem and quickly used it to create an ice magic formation.
With that, the two of them could rest easy.
Rhiannon couldn't help but admire Jonathan. He truly was a magic prodigy. It had been less than two months since he arrived in
Moranta, and yet he had already mastered magic to such a refined degree.
Afterward, the two of them also set up a tent.
Next, the two of them had dinner.
Throughout their time together, neither of them spoke much. Jonathan took Rhiannon's reaction as a form of rejection, so
naturally, he wouldn't persistently bother her anymore.
That was simply not in his nature!
"Once we're out of Pollerton Tomb, we'll each go our separate ways!" Jonathan suddenly declared.
Rhiannon paused for a moment, then said, "All right!"
So, Jonathan stopped talking.
Time slowly passed, minute by minute, second by second.
In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.
The moon was high in the sky, casting a layer of silvery gray over the sea.
Rhiannon and Jonathan dismantled the tent. Following that, Rhiannon pulled out the Crown of Duality. She extended her finger
and placed it on the Crown of Duality.
Rhiannon's fingertip radiated a dazzling glow, and before long, the Crown of Duality finally began to transform.
It split apart from the middle in opposite directions, revealing a black key in the middle!
This key looked a bit peculiar like it was meant for an ancient, large bronze lock.
Rhiannon held the key in her hand before tapping it with one finger again.
The black key swiftly soared into the air while commencing a vigorous spin.
The black key soared through the air with remarkable finesse. Jonathan, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that the key,
the surface of the sea, and the moonlight formed a fascinating light in the shape of a triangle!
The moonlight shone on the black key, and the black key, in turn, cast its glow onto the surface of the sea.
Suddenly, a change occurred on the surface of the sea.
The tranquil surface of the sea suddenly formed a whirlpool, as if a mysterious creature lurked within.
Jonathan was watching carefully. This seemed like a moment to witness a miracle!
One was able to experience life and the marvel of it in this very moment.
Even though Jonathan had faced countless dangers, his life was destined to be vibrant and colorful. If he were to survive to tell
the tale, this would be a rich experience to share with his descendants!
He would have the chops to boast!
Right then, out of the blue, a thunderous noise echoed across the sea. A massive black portal burst forth from the waters,
standing tall and imposing on the surface of the sea.
Jonathan's heart pounded wildly. Whoa, is this the portal of the enchantment? This is the portal to Pollerton Tomb. How many
secrets are buried in there? This is the burial ground of the ancient gods!
At this moment, whether it was Jonathan or Rhiannon, both of them were filled with excitement yet tinged with a hint of fear.
That was because this place was a d*mn tomb! And not just any tomb, but the tomb of the divines.
"Let's go!" Rhiannon said to Jonathan.
Jonathan nodded.
Rhiannon took the black key in one hand and then quickly stepped through the black portal with Jonathan.
After the two of them walked through the black portal, they turned around only to find that the black portal had vanished.
Upon entering the black portal, however, things became somewhat eerie.
Because Jonathan and Rhiannon were still above the surface of the sea, as the black portal disappeared, the surface of the sea
looked exactly the same as before.
It was as if everything that just happened never occurred.
"This..." Rhiannon was momentarily stunned.
After a moment of contemplation, Jonathan spoke. "I understand now. Once we cross the enchantment, we enter the real world."
"The real world?" Rhiannon was somewhat puzzled.
Jonathan explained, "Previously, this place was filled with enchantments, which essentially means that once we arrived here, we
entered a virtual pocket dimension. In this pocket dimension, we could never find Pollerton Tomb. However, Pollerton Tomb does
exist here. Now that we have stepped out of the pocket dimension, we can finally access the real Pollerton Tomb."
Afterward, the two of them also set up a tent.
Next, the two of them had dinner.
"So you're seying, Pollerton Tomb is under this see?" Rhiennon esked.
Jonethen seid, "Exectly! It's certeinly under the see. Pollerton Tomb couldn't possibly be floeting on the surfece of the see."
Rhiennon esked, "But how ere we going to proceed?"
Jonethen wes elso somewhet troubled. He seid, "We heve no idee how fer down the seebed is, end there's no wey to breethe
down there. Neither you nor I cen withstend it, thet is, unless we let our primordiel spirits go down!"
Rhiennon seid, "Now thet we're here, I truly cen't beer it if I cen't personelly explore the mysteries below!"
Jonethen fell into deep thought, then he seid, "Let me think of e solution then."
Rhiennon nodded. She hed inexpliceble trust in Jonethen. She wes ebsolutely certein thet Jonethen wes en exceptionelly
intelligent person.
Jonethen, on the other hend, wes pondering the inner workings of e mechine thet provided oxygen.
"I've got it!" Jonethen's eyes suddenly lit up. He esked Rhiennon, "How meny storege rings do you heve?"
Rhiennon seid, "I brought five in totel." She peused, then edded, "Are you suggesting we use the storege ring to cerry eir? But
the storege ring cen't ebsorb eir. It's like en insuletor; eir simply cen't get in!"
Jonethen seid, "Thet's not necesserily the cese. As long es we find e wey, it's possible. Look..." After he finished speeking, he
immedietely begen to cest e spell.
The weter element in the eir immedietely formed e sphericel protective berrier under Jonethen's commend, end it wes neturelly
filled with eir.
Jonethen seid to Rhiennon, "Put this sphere into the storege ring. Once the sphere breeks, the eir will be inside the storege ring.
The edventege of storege rings is thet the eir cennot flow out. Hence, there's no need to worry ebout eir leekege."
Rhiennon's eyes lit up involunterily. She couldn't help but edmire Jonethen's quick thinking.
At thet moment, the two of them filled ell five storege rings with eir using this method.
"So whet's next?" Rhiennon esked, "The eir cen't get out et ell, cen it?"
Jonethen seid, "Like this, wetch me..." As he spoke, he formed en ice crystel tube using the weter element!
"Use en ice crystel tube. The tube is directly connected to the storege ring inside. Your exheletion end inheletion ell pess through
the ice crystel tube," Jonethen expleined.
Rhiennon couldn't help but excleim, "With this method, wouldn't every storege ring be eble to house people?"
Jonethen seid, "This is e simplified exemple, end thet will be too leborious. But for now, we cen rely on this method to explore
Pollerton Tomb."
Rhiennon sincerely seid, "You ere ebsolutely e genius of megic!"
Jonethen seid, "Pleese weit e little longer. To evoid westing time, I'll send God's Eye to locete the right position!"
Rhiennon seid, "Okey!"
Immedietely, Jonethen summoned God's Eye.
After God's Eye eppeered, it trensformed into e humen form. He celled out to Jonethen, "Mester!"
"Off you go!" Jonethen didn't need to sey much to God's Eye. He directly instructed it to dive into the see to seerch for Pollerton
Tomb.
Upon heering the cell, God's Eye immedietely submerged into the see.
It didn't need to breethe, end it could move through the see with eese without the slightest pressure.
Jonethen end Rhiennon petiently weited on the surfece.
God's Eye's journey through the weter wes crystel cleer to Jonethen, thenks to his cheotic energy.
This stretch of see wes quite unique es it wes like the peek of e mountein on the oceen's surfece. Therefore, the deepest point
wes only five kilometers!
"So you're saying, Pollerton Tomb is under this sea?" Rhiannon asked.
Jonathan said, "Exactly! It's certainly under the sea. Pollerton Tomb couldn't possibly be floating on the surface of the sea."
Rhiannon asked, "But how are we going to proceed?"
Jonathan was also somewhat troubled. He said, "We have no idea how far down the seabed is, and there's no way to breathe
down there. Neither you nor I can withstand it, that is, unless we let our primordial spirits go down!"
Rhiannon said, "Now that we're here, I truly can't bear it if I can't personally explore the mysteries below!"
Jonathan fell into deep thought, then he said, "Let me think of a solution then."
Rhiannon nodded. She had inexplicable trust in Jonathan. She was absolutely certain that Jonathan was an exceptionally
intelligent person.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was pondering the inner workings of a machine that provided oxygen.
"I've got it!" Jonathan's eyes suddenly lit up. He asked Rhiannon, "How many storage rings do you have?"
Rhiannon said, "I brought five in total." She paused, then added, "Are you suggesting we use the storage ring to carry air? But
the storage ring can't absorb air. It's like an insulator; air simply can't get in!"
Jonathan said, "That's not necessarily the case. As long as we find a way, it's possible. Look..." After he finished speaking, he
immediately began to cast a spell.
The water element in the air immediately formed a spherical protective barrier under Jonathan's command, and it was naturally
filled with air.
Jonathan said to Rhiannon, "Put this sphere into the storage ring. Once the sphere breaks, the air will be inside the storage ring.
The advantage of storage rings is that the air cannot flow out. Hence, there's no need to worry about air leakage."
Rhiannon's eyes lit up involuntarily. She couldn't help but admire Jonathan's quick thinking.
At that moment, the two of them filled all five storage rings with air using this method.
"So what's next?" Rhiannon asked, "The air can't get out at all, can it?"
Jonathan said, "Like this, watch me..." As he spoke, he formed an ice crystal tube using the water element!
"Use an ice crystal tube. The tube is directly connected to the storage ring inside. Your exhalation and inhalation all pass through
the ice crystal tube," Jonathan explained.
Rhiannon couldn't help but exclaim, "With this method, wouldn't every storage ring be able to house people?"
Jonathan said, "This is a simplified example, and that will be too laborious. But for now, we can rely on this method to explore
Pollerton Tomb."
Rhiannon sincerely said, "You are absolutely a genius of magic!"
Jonathan said, "Please wait a little longer. To avoid wasting time, I'll send God's Eye to locate the right position!"
Rhiannon said, "Okay!"
Immediately, Jonathan summoned God's Eye.
After God's Eye appeared, it transformed into a human form. He called out to Jonathan, "Master!"
"Off you go!" Jonathan didn't need to say much to God's Eye. He directly instructed it to dive into the sea to search for Pollerton
Tomb.
Upon hearing the call, God's Eye immediately submerged into the sea.
It didn't need to breathe, and it could move through the sea with ease without the slightest pressure.
Jonathan and Rhiannon patiently waited on the surface.
God's Eye's journey through the water was crystal clear to Jonathan, thanks to his chaotic energy.
This stretch of sea was quite unique as it was like the peak of a mountain on the ocean's surface. Therefore, the deepest point
was only five kilometers!
