Chapter 220
Based on Jonathan''s observation, the footprints and hoofprints here were not deliberately left behind.
Jonathan closed his eyes. He wanted to see if he could obtain some secrets from the past in an
extremely quiet state.
However, it was all in vain.
There would be residual information in the maic field after the urrences of certain things.
However, major changes had taken ce here. Thus, all maic field information had been
disrupted.
Jonathan could not feel anything, except for a slight trace of a warm aura.
It was dark and humid here. Yet, he felt a faint warm aura in the most sensitive area of his brain.
It was like the smell of chemicals in the air after a bomb explosion.
Jonathan knew that something supernatural must have happened on this Holy Boulder.
That was why there was this lingering smell.
However, Jonathan had no idea what had happened exactly.
Five minutester, Jonathan jumped down from the Holy Boulder.
He waited for a while, but he did not see Lahing back up. So he jumped down from the entrance
of the cave as well.
It was also a steep tunnel, and Jonathan slid for almost twenty meters before finallynding on the
ground.
He looked up and saw Lah, who was in a daze.
It was a narrow cave with less than ten square meters.
This cave was probably dug by the Ustranasions.
Those Ustranasions had been trying to dig for treasures here, but they had given up in the end.
It was dark, hot, humid, and musty in this cave. It looked just like an ordinary cave, and there was
nothing special about it.
Lah turned around and said to Jonathan, “There''s nothing here.” Her voice was full of
disappointment.
Jonathan looked around, not knowing what to say.
Lah said again, “Did you find anything up there?”
Jonathan replied in a deep voice, “The footprints and hoofprints on the Holy Boulder were not artificially
carved. The boulder will turn soft when there''s a change in temperature. When someone steps on it, it
feels like stepping on soft mud. Those footprints seemed to be left under that circumstance. I also felt a
faint warm aura. I think it was left over as the temperature became too high when these footprints were
created. It means that there''s a possibility that the prophet rode this boulder to listen to God''s teaching.
Even if the prophet did not listen to the teaching, something supernatural must have happened here.”
A trace of excitement finally crossed Lah''s face. “The increase in the temperature must be caused by
someone who used mana to move the boulder. But the boulder is too heavy. So when there''s friction
with the mana, there''ll be such a reaction.”
“Your analysis makes senses,” said Jonathan.
“But we still don''t have any information about the Sinai Bible. This is ourst clue. If we can''t find
anything there, what should we do next?”
“Lah, we can''t give up until the veryst moment. These few days, we''ve been taking the same
routes as the others. So we got the same information as everyone else too. In this case, we have to do
the opposite.”
Lah''s eyes lit up. “The opposite? How?”
“I once practiced a technique. When I was cultivating, I tried to dig and search for it, but it didn''t work.”
He was referring to the previous incident when he had used the technique of Requiem to find
Haemocore. At that time, he could not find Haemocore but had sensed it instead. “Then I stopped
digging, but I tried to sense it. In the end, I found what I looked for.”
“Is it the explosive power that you suddenly have?”
The memory of how Jonathan had defeated Lucio was still vivid in her mind.
A power that could let the final stage of Nascent Soul defeat the middle stage of Celestial Soul was
absolutely terrifying.
With no intention of hiding it from Lah, Jonathan said, “That''s right. People whoe here are here
to look for King Sergiu''s treasures. They oftene and go in a hurry. None of them will calm down
and feel the atmosphere and environment here. What is this ce? This is the ruins of the Sacred
Temple, which has a turbulent history. The treasures could be stolen, but the remaining spirit will not go
away. I propose we stay here for two days and see if we can find anything in silence. If we find nothing,
we''ll go to the Crying Wall and stay for two more days. If it still doesn''t work... then there''s nothing else
that I can do.”
“Okay. We''ll go with what you''ve proposed,” Lah said.
Jonathan''s words gave hope to Lah, who was initially overwhelmed by despair.
The two stayed in the cave. They found a ce and sat down against the cave wall.
Leslie, who was waiting for them up there, was probably really mad right now.
However, they did not care about him at all.
The venttion in the cave was really bad, and it was hot.
Both Jonathan and Lah were soaked in sweat.
They sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
No ordinary man could stay long and calm down in this ce.
However, Jonathan and Lah were highly cultivated. They could force themselves to calm down.
Soon, both of them entered a state of meditation and remained motionless.
At the same time, they were sweating profusely.

The scent on Lah''s body was mixed with sweat. It smelled so good that it could trigger a man''s
hormone.
The two of them would not have foul-smelling sweat because their bodies were as clear as crystal,
without any impurities.
Time ticked by.
However, Jonathan and Lah did not find anything, even in an extremely quiet state.
Two hours had passed, and the two of them looked as though they had taken a sauna in there.
It was still bearable if they were to continue searching for treasures around, but just sitting like that was
definitely a torment.
Nevertheless, Jonathan and Lah did notin a single word.
They leaned against the wall and fell asleep after a while.
At eight o''clock the next morning, they woke up, but they did not discover anything new.
Since they had decided to stay here for two days, they did not give up and continued to cultivate.
As night fell, they fell asleep again.
They started to get used to the temperature in the cave, and they stopped sweating.
They were finally at peace after a long time.
That night, when they were asleep, Jonathan had a weird dream.
He dreamed of a man who was dressed in a royal robe, wearing a crown, and in his fifties.
His face was full of beard, and his eyes were sharp.
Jonathan had an intuition that this man was King Sergiu.
Jonathan saw the Sacred Temple in his dream. The temple was intact, and its ground was as smooth
as a mirror.
King Sergiu was standing in front of the Holy Boulder, and there were several things enshrined on the
boulder. They were the Holy Chest and the Sinai Bible.
The Bible was in all ck, and it looked very ordinary.
The Holy Chest lookedmon too, and it seemed that it was made of soapwood.
Right then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.
A general in armor quickly stepped in.
He walked up to King Sergiu and knelt down on one knee. “Your Majesty, we''re going to lose the city.
The Holy Knights are about to break in. Please evacuate quickly, Your Majesty!”
King Sergiu''s eyes were cold as he said, “Say Euston, if ten days ago, I did not send the cavalry to the
stone gate to defend the southeast army but sent them to the Giant Wood Castle to attack the Holy
Knights, what would have been the oue?”
Euston was stunned for a moment. “But Your Majesty, the Holy Knights'' arrival was rather secretive this
time. We didn''t know about their n of attack at all ten days ago.”
King Sergiu looked at the Holy Chest and said, “That''s right. I knew nothing about the conspiracy of the
Holy Knights ten days ago. But now, I do. So I want to use this Holy Chest to bring us back to ten days
ago and change the oue.”
Euston was dumbfounded. “But Your Majesty, the Holy Chest is a divine item. It is amunication
tool between you and God. If you use it to change what has happened, I''m afraid there''ll be bad
consequences.”
“It''s okay. Just let me suffer all the bad consequences.” King Sergiu sounded resolute.
He then waved his hand and grabbed the Holy Chest out of thin air.
It was obvious that King Sergiu had used his mana to do that, and it was the mana of a Level Nine
Divine Master.
Then, King Sergiu used his mana to move the Holy Chest again.
The Holy Chest suddenly glowed.
The next moment, a library appeared in front of King Sergiu and Euston.
The library was full of books.
Those books were sparkling and did not look like real books.
Each book seemed to represent a year or a certain point in time.
King Sergiu found one of the books and read it aloud.
After that, he disappeared into the sparkle, and so did Euston.
Then, the scene changed.
This time, it was the old King Sergiu standing in front of the Holy Boulder, with the Sinai Bible in his
hands.
He flipped open the Sinai Bible, revealing an ordinary ck screen.
Jonathan saw nothing other than a ck screen.
Right then, King Sergiu activated his mana again.
After the ck screen received King Sergiu''s mana, it began to show pictures like a TV screen.
It was the image of a vast and starry night.
Suddenly, a light shed between King Sergiu''s eyebrows. The light connected with the ck screen,
and King Sergiu seemed to be controlled by the power of the Sinai Bible. He was obviously in pain, and
he struggled but to no avail.
In the end, King Sergiu died.
Following that, another scene appeared. The Holy Chest and the Sinai Bible were still enshrined on the
Holy Boulder, but they remained untouched.
Euston, on the other hand, started writing words on the boulder. It was ancient writing that Jonathan did
not know at all.
At that moment, Jonathan woke up with a start.
