In order to open this tomb, Yana had offended too many people.
Evidently, even though doing this made things faster and more convenient for her, they would bring great trouble to the Elves in the future.
It was quite likely that the academies would try to take revenge in the future.
Yana did not mind too much; after all, she was about to leave, so who could capture her?
However, the Elves left here would be doomed.
Sorcerers were not the type to just drop matters.
If they could not find Yana, they would most likely turn their sights elsewhere.
When that time came, the Elves in this region would most likely be doomed.
With the strength that Yana had displayed, as well as her identity as a Half-Elf, it was predictable that the Human Sorcerers would turn their attention to the Elves of this region.
This was why Yana had made this request.
After all, since she was going to leave, she needed someone to take care of this.
From what she could tell, Chen Heng's talent was quite good, and he would most likely become a major figure among Human Sorcerers. At the very least, becoming a true Sorcerer would be no problem for him.
Adding on the fact that he could enter this tomb, it seemed that he held some goodwill towards the Elves.
If this kind of person was willing to help the Elves in the future, it would be quite good for them.
Chen Heng was able to accurately guess what Yana was thinking.
However, he did not refuse and directly nodded and agreed.
How the future would be, he would leave that for the future.
Right now, it was best to become as strong as possible.
As for his promise with Yana…
If he could help them in passing, he would do so.
If that was not possible, they could not blame him.
Seeing Chen Heng nod, a slight smile appeared on Yana's face.
She went through her belongings before taking out a golden crystal.
"This is a Legacy Stone," she said softly as she looked at Chen Heng, "Everything you need is recorded in here."
"Many thanks."
Looking at Yana, Chen Heng nodded and did not say much else before accepting it.
"You're welcome," Yana said as she smiled, not saying much else.
After making this agreement, neither of them continued to talk, and they instead seriously studied the stone wall.
As they watched on, the runes on the stone wall began to flash with light.
Strange ripples began to appear before their eyes, looking quite fantastical.
The contents recorded on the Moon God Stone were not simple at all and seemed to contain remainders of some kind of mental will, allowing one to directly absorb the contents into their mind.
In just a short period of time, Chen Heng was able to completely memorize the contents on this stone wall.
Large amounts of information appeared in his mind.
That strange feeling felt suffocating; the massive amount of knowledge being shoved into his mind made him feel as if his head was going to explode.
The energy that the Moon God Worship contained was simply too great.
Even though Chen Heng had not started cultivating it, just the energy that it contained was shocking.
Standing there, only after a long while did Chen Heng come back to his senses, and he let out a deep sigh.
This was undoubtedly his greatest gain this time.
A high-level Meditation Technique was simply priceless.
It could even be said that even if Chen Heng died now, he would not suffer a loss.
Just this high-level Meditation Technique was enough for him to break-even.
Thinking to there, he could not help but smile.
He looked over and saw that Yana had walked in front of an altar and was thinking about something.
"What are you doing?" Chen Heng asked.
"I'm preparing to leave," Yana did not look back as she said, "Back to the place I should be."
"You didn't come from this region?" Chen Heng asked.
He had wanted to ask this question before.
This had been revealed through many of the things that Yana had said.
It was evident that this Half-Elf young woman was not a Sorcerer from this region and instead came from somewhere else.
"Mental energy."
Yana nodded, "Just like you know, this is not the only Sorcerer gathering place.
"I come from a different place, and I came here for the Moon Elf King's tomb."
"How did you come?" Chen Heng asked.
There was not just one Sorcerer gathering place; this was something that all Sorcerers who had formal training knew.
This world was very big, and there were many places covered by fog.
Those foggy places were places left behind by ancient Sorcerers' battles, and some had various historical remnants and monsters.
There were often sometimes ordinary places within those foggy regions, where remnants of Sorcerer civilizations remained.
There were many Sorcerer gathering places in this world.
Just in this region, there were quite a few of them.
It was just that as the foggy regions continuously encroached on Sorcerer gathering places, causing them to disappear.
Sometimes, the fog in some foggy regions would disappear, and the dangers and monsters hidden within would also gradually disappear.
Many of the Sorcerer historical remnants from those foggy regions would be discovered by ordinary humans, allowing them to obtain Sorcerer legacies. Those places then often became Sorcerer gathering places.
In the vast world, there were definitely Sorcerer gathering places that were bigger and more powerful than this one.
Yana evidently came from such a place.
Chen Heng could make a good guess about her identity.
What he was curious about was how she travelled through the foggy regions to reach here.
According to the historical records, the foggy regions were incredibly dangerous. There were often incredibly dangerous monsters with strange powers, which posed great threats.
Some of these monsters were feared even by true Sorcerers; if they were not careful, they would be devoured.
Yana was only a Third Rank Apprentice; how had she passed through those foggy regions?
Chen Heng felt quite curious.
Soon, Yana gave him a reply.
"It was just a coincidence."
Looking at Chen Heng, Yana shook her head and said, "I was sent through a Sorcerer Formation to here by coincidence."
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised, "You can go to other regions through Sorcerer Formations?"
"There's no need to feel so surprised," Yana said as she nodded, "Back when ancient Sorcerers were at their peak, they could even traverse to other worlds.
"If travelling to other worlds was nothing, then traveling to other regions is naturally no problem.
"However, it is a pity; that Sorcerer Formation can only be used twice."
She looked at Chen Heng as she said in pity, "Otherwise, I would have wanted to bring you to where I come from. With your talent, even if you came to my region, you would be able to become an existence who would surpass true Sorcerers. Perhaps you could become a famous figure."
"Perhaps," Chen Heng said as he smiled, "so you're going to leave now?"
"That's right." Yana nodded before stretching out her hand.
As she moved, the altar seemed to come to life.
Silver light appeared as formless ripples spread out, and soon, a silver door was created.
Chen Heng could see another place through this silver teleportation channel.
"Alright." After activating the altar, Yana stood up and looked at Chen Heng as she said, "You can return to the outer world through this teleportation channel. Don't forget our promise."
"Don't worry," Chen Heng nodded as he walked forwards.
He slowly walked towards the silver door, but just as he was about to step through, he paused and looked back.
Behind him, Yana was standing there.
She wore silver robes and stood tall and straight. Her looks were incredibly beautiful, and looking at her was very pleasant.
With the Moon God Stone's light falling on her body, she looked extraordinary and had a pure and auspicious aura.
Standing before the altar, Chen Heng gave her a deep look as if he wanted to remember her.
Following this, he walked through the teleportation channel.
In the next moment, faint ripples spread out.
As a hazy light flashed out, Chen Heng's body disappeared.
After entering the Sorcerer Formation, Chen Heng became surrounded by darkness.
When his surroundings became bright again, the scenery around him had changed.
Standing there, Chen Heng looked around.
He had returned to the forest he had been in before.
All around him were mountains, and there were very tall trees. He could occasionally hear the cries and roars of wild beasts.
Looking at the scenery, Chen Heng stared for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"I'm back…"
Looking at the cliff in front of him, he nodded.
The process had been a bit bumpy, but just like he had expected, he had made great gains this time.
He had obtained a lot of valuable information from Yana, as well as a new magic skill system. He had also obtained a high-level Meditation Technique from the Elf King's tomb.
It could be said that the gains he had made far surpassed anything he had expected.
"Different Sorcerer gathering places…"
Thinking about what Yana had said, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Only after a while did he come back to his senses and begin to walk.
He walked around the cliff, which looked the same; it still had many of the marks that Chen Heng had made.
However, the runes on the cliff had all disappeared.
Even though Chen Heng's markings were still there, the Sorcerer Formation seemed to have disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this, Chen Heng frowned.
He was certain that the Sorcerer Formation to enter the Moon Elf King's tomb had been here.
However, it was now gone and left behind no traces.
This made him feel quite surprised.
After coming out from the historical remnant, he had been hoping to be able to go in and look for opportunities after Yana had left.
After all, there were definitely many good things within that historical remnant.
Apart from perhaps having the Moon Elf King's corpse and his possessions, the Moon God Stone that contained the Moon God Worship Meditation Technique was also very good.
According to Yana, Moon God Stones were the treasure of the Moon Gods of the legends; it was something legendary even to the Elves.
Chen Heng had been hoping to be able to secretly go in and take those things out.
However, it seemed that this would not be possible.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng shook his head and felt quite disappointed.
However, this was not a big deal.
After all, he had already made great gains.
Following this, Chen Heng turned and left, and he walked for a long time.
Compared to ordinary people, his speed was very fast.
After all, he was a true Knight and a Second Rank Apprentice; his body was very strong.
The forest, which was quite difficult to traverse for ordinary people, was nothing to him.
After Yana left, the Sorcerer Formation that had obstructed his magic power was automatically undone, and he regained his ability to use magic skills.
Following this, he left the forest and entered a city.
The first thing he did was to change his clothes.
"幸好...."
He had no choice—after being kidnapped by Yana and staying in the forest for so long, his clothes were incredibly dirty and tattered.
As such, after entering the city, he got new clothes and found a place to properly rest.
Afterwards, he looked for a path to return to the Hunter's House.
"Thank goodness…"
After spending a great deal of effort, Chen Heng finally found a map and found Helo City's location.
Helo City was a few Sorcerer academies' hub, and it was a place that many Sorcerers went to.
If he could enter Helo City, he would be able to make his way back to the Hunter's House.
Relative to where he was, Helo City was not too far away.
With Chen Heng's speed, it would take at most half a month to get there.
"I wonder how things at the academy are?" Chen Heng thought to himself.
Outside, a slight breeze blew, bringing with it a trace of coldness.
Time gradually passed.
Half a month later, after some travelling, Chen Heng finally reached Helo City.
However, after entering this city, Chen Heng felt that something was off.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Compared to before, Helo City seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere.
Walking on the streets, Chen Heng could see many people hurrying about.
Sometimes, he saw some Apprentices.
"What happened here?"
Seeing this, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Looking at the people hurrying about, Chen Heng thought for a moment before walking into a small alleyway.
In the alleyway, he found some Apprentices and asked them for some information.
"It's Mogow Academy in the west," an Apprentice said softly, "It's said that Mogow Academy suddenly attacked a few places and has taken many places' resources.
"Because of Mogow's Academy's actions, a few neighboring mortal kingdoms have also begun to act and have declared war."
To the west of Helo City was Mogow Academy.
This academy's power was quite great and had intense conflict with some other academies.
This time, Mogow Academy had suddenly attacked other Academies and ignited the flames of war.
The war quickly expanded, quickly drawing in mortal kingdoms.
All Sorcerer academies had many subsidiary mortal factions attached to them.
As the war between Sorcerer factions broke out, the mortal factions under them also began to fight.
Soon, the entire regions' factions were drawn over.
In order to not be sucked into this, many Sorcerers in the north left the region.
This caused the surrounding atmosphere to become quite heavy.
Hearing this information, Chen Heng fell into his thoughts.
