Chapter 687: Kinra island
There were only rumors about the event, but owing to the fact that the information hailed from beings at the Specta stage, most people around the Julandra region were inclined to think that it was anything but a rumor.
However, even the races outside the Julandra region seemed to be excited about the event because the warfares on the adjacent borders were becoming fiercer by the day.
Jason hadn’t heard a lot about the races that tried to infiltrate the Julandra region, but there were quite a few.
This indicated that the Julandra region had to have something unique like special treasures or areas with extremely high amounts of natural cultivation energies.
If Jason were honest, he had yet to read more information about the region he was inside, let alone the adjacent regions.
Nevertheless, the information about Kinra island was interesting, and he was eager to find out more about it.
As such, Jason wanted to search for information inside the auxiliary tower’s library.
The auxiliary tower appeared to be relatively unscathed, a fact which had astonished him, but at the same time, it shouldn’t have been a surprise because the materials it was made of were stronger and sturdier than those used to construct the rest of the Manor.
However, before he was even able to enter the auxiliary tower, he had already received a message from Jennifer.
Apparently, the City Lord sought him, and with that in mind, Jason decided that he might as well ask Luna about information pertaining to Kinra island.
Inside the main hall, which was still under the reconstruction process, he saw Jennifer, the City Lord, and a few beings at the Prismar stage.
Jason was familiar with some of them, which allowed him to realise that they were cadets of the Tritans’ hidden training camp.
He nodded his head, greeting them before directing his attention to the City Lord, who began to explain why had called upon them.
“Today, I asked a few of you to gather because I have both a request and an opportunity to give you all.
I want you guys to enter Kinra island after it finally resurfaces! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I can provide you.
However, in exchange, I want you to search for a specific item. If you can provide it, the finder will be rewarded very well.
Sadly, if nobody manages to procure the item, I would only complain about my misfortune….so what do you all think about my offer?”
While the others’ eyes twinkled with excitement and joy, Jason couldn’t help but be confused. Jennifer had provided him with some information about Kinra island, but he was still lacking the most basic things.
As such, he couldn’t help but ask,
“I don’t want to sound rude, but why do you want us to enter Kinra Island? Wouldn’t others at the Ascendion stage, or you be a better choice to procure that item?”
Unaware of the questioning gazes he was thrown, Jason simply looked at the City Lord, without any ill intentions.
‘Does he not know about Kinra island?’ The City Lord asked herself, only to recall that Jason didn’t belong to Manyr, let alone the Julandra region.
Because of that, she accessed her spatial ring.
Taking out a document, she used her mana to make it fly towards Jason as she said,
“The file is filled with information about Kinra island.
However, to put it into simple terms, there is a barrier, preventing everyone with a cultivation base at or above the Initial rank of the Ascendion stage from entering Kinra island!
It should have been constructed in order to prevent those who were not eligible to receive an inheritance from entering it.
Furthermore, one has to be younger than half a century, which means that the barrier restricts both high age and cultivation base.
Rumors say that the barrier also restricts someone’s talent, but that is something I cannot say for certain.
A long time ago, it was said that someone at the peak of the Specta stage wanted to enter Kinra island, but before he was even able to break through the barrier, the island began to move, vanishing in the depths of the ocean!
With that being said, it’s not that others are unable to enter it, but the moment the island moves underwater we are unable to pursue it.
Maritime beasts are simply too ferocious and there are too many of them with a high cultivation base!”
Jason just nodded his head, without saying anything, before he heard the eligibility criteria to enter Kinra island.
This made him squint his eyes before he asked,
“So…people like Jennifer will be able to enter Kinra Island…in that case, am I not too weak to enter the Land of Inheritances, if we compare my strength to Jennifer’s??”
Jason definitely wanted to enter the Island after hearing all the treasures he could find there, even more so after he learned that there was not one but multiple Ancient ruins and Inheritance sites on it.
Each of them was said to have been constructed by a being above the Specta stage, which made him curious about them.
Nevertheless, he was too weak, if people like Jennifer with combat prowess at the Ascendion stage were able to enter it.
Furthermore, the competition would definitely be fierce, which made it more unlikely for him to survive the trip, let alone receive an inheritance.
Inheritances would change the entire future of those who obtained them, possibly changing their constitution or other specific traits.
Seeing Jason’s visible dismay, the City Lord smiled slyly, knowing what Jason had on his mind as she took out several manuals that released a faint aura.
‘Heaven-ranked techniques!’ Jason thought immediately, which caused him to look at Luna in confusion.
“Because I am aware of the dangers of Kinra island having once entered it myself, I shall give all of you one Heaven’s ranked technique.
According to the provided information, it will take two months for the Island to resurface. Until that time, I want everyone to work hard and increase their strength as much as possible!
Afterward, I want my technique back, and you may retrieve it once you return from Kinra Island!”
When he heard the City Lord, Jason couldn’t help but feel enlightened, only to realise that she was trying to use the technique to bait them.
Even if they started practicing it from today, they would still not be proficient enough in it two months later. Thus, they wouldn’t require it anymore.
As such, after coming back from Kinra, they would have to return to the City Lord’s manor, under the premise that they wanted to have the technique returned.
Owing to that, it was only obvious that some cadets doubted the City Lord’s decision.
“I hope City Lord doesn’t find this question rude…but what kind of item are we even supposed to search, and what can it be used for?” One of the other cadets suddenly asked, looking skeptically at the levitating Heaven’s ranked technique.
It was odd for her to award such a valuable technique so easily. As such, the item which the City Lord was looking for, had to be extremely valuable!
Luna had already expected such a question, and without thinking too much about the suitable answer she said.
“The item I’m looking for is called Divine, or rather an Immortal Eye. In fact, it’s an orb, which you can find in every single Inheritance site, but the number of people who have acquired one of the Immortal Eyes was scarce.
As for the reason why I need the Immortal eye, I do not want to tell you. Either accept that or I won’t take you to Kinra island.
Without the help of a being at the Specta stage, you won’t be able to come even close to the island!!”
