Chapter 516 Could It Be An Illusion


    Jonathan and Rhiannon had thuse to a consensus. Subsequently, they sessfully created an ice


    crystal tube to solve the matter of their breathing. Following that, Jonathan began to gather water


    elements, crafting a massive ship of ice.


    As Jonathan''s cultivation was far more powerful than that of God''s Eye, molding the icebreaker was


    effortless for him. However, the temperature inside was extremely low, making it almost unbearable


    due to the intense cold.


    Nevertheless, that bit of suffering didn''t mean much.


    After sessfully constructing the icebreaker, the two of them dove into the sea.


    The bow of the icebreaker was as solid as a rocket''s tip, and its overall shape resembled a swordfish.


    The subsequent descent happened rapidly.


    It was a truly marvelous experience. Jonathan diving into the sea physically provided a vastly different


    sensationpared to when he apanied God''s Eye down with his spiritual sense just a while ago.


    As this was a first for Rhiannon, she couldn''t help but nce at Jonathan.


    All the wonders they encountered were the result of Jonathan''s brilliant ideas.


    Suddenly, Rhiannon deployed water elemental energy, intending tomunicate with Jonathan with


    their spiritual sense. After all, they couldn''t afford to waste the air around them.


    Jonathan immediately recognized what she was trying to do. Hence, he epted the water elemental


    energy Rhiannon had unleashed.


    In that instant, the two of them couldmunicate with each other as if they were on a phone call.


    "Jonathan, do you think we''ll die down there?" Rhiannon suddenly asked.


    "I don''t know!" Jonathan said, "Perhaps."


    "Aren''t you scared?" Rhiannon said, "You don''t seem to care much!"


    With a bitter smile, Jonathan said, "You''ve been inside my mind. You know very well that in recent


    years, I''ve faced life-and-death situations time and again. It''s somewhat numbing after a while. I now


    realize that life is short, and we should appreciate the joy in it. What if I die abruptly? By living freely


    and following my heart, I won''t have as many regrets when it happens!"


    Suddenly, Rhiannon began to understand Jonathan. Naturally, her resentment toward Jonathan


    lessened a little.


    At the very least, he wasn''t doing it on purpose. That was genuinely his approach to life.


    "If we sessfully retrieved the magic item from Pollerton Tomb this time, will you go and see Theos


    Lynn immediately?" Rhiannon asked.


    Jonathan said, "No, I still need to fullyprehend it. I must be at least seventy percent confident


    before I can act!"


    Rhiannon said, "I wish you sess!"


    She did not offer to help Jonathan because she tended to be rational at all times. She knew that the


    enemy Jonathan faced was too powerful for her. Thus, she didn''t want to get involved. She couldn''t


    allow a moment of impulsiveness to plunge the entire Moon Shadow Pce into such a vicious cycle.


    Naturally, Jonathan understood her concerns. He was a man who knew how things worked. At any


    time, no one was obligated to help another. It was certainly not a reason to feel resentful. However, if


    someone was willing to extend a hand, it would be a debt that must be etched in one''s heart forever.


    One should never take the help of others for granted. Otherwise, no one will be there to assist over


    time.


    Meanwhile, the icebreaker continued to dive, with the water pressure bing increasingly intense


    the deeper it went. The exterior of the vessel was constantly exploding, as if it was under the relentless


    bombardment of torpedoes.


    Hence, Jonathan had to tirelessly repair the icebreaker.


    Suddenly, Rhiannon asked, "Will you return to the main world after you save yourpanions?"


    Jonathan said, "Of course. I still need to find my otherpanions. After that, I''ll return to the main


    world immediately!"


    "Have you ever considered staying here?" Rhiannon asked, "If you can hold your own against Theos,


    you will naturally be one of the most powerful beings in Moranta. You''ll be able to do anything you want


    here!"


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Jonathan said, "No matter how good it is here, it''s not my home. In the


    main world, there are things I could never let go of. On the contrary, there''s nothing here for me worth


    staying back for."


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Jonathan said, "No matter how good it is here, it''s not my home. In the


    main world, there are things I could never let go of. On the contrary, there''s nothing here for me worth


    staying back for."


    The moment the words rolled off Jonathan''s tongue, Rhiannon felt an inexplicable pang in her heart.


    Surprisingly, there was even a hint of bitterness.


    "Is there truly nothing here that can make you stay?" asked Rhiannon.


    With a slight smile, Jonathan said, "I''ll think of you from time to time."


    "Does your affectione and go this swiftly?" Rhiannon asked, her voice cool and indifferent.


    Jonathan said, "Life is as fleeting as the morning dew that disappears in an instant. I prefer not to


    waste my limited energy on such pointless dilemmas."


    Rhiannon said, "All I can say is, thank goodness I never fell for you. Otherwise, it would have been the


    greatest sorrow of my life!"


    With a faint smile, Jonathan fell silent, choosing not to speak any further.


    He didn''t mean to upset Rhiannon it''s just that, but that was what he truly thought.


    Jonathan would forever hold a grudge, but when it came to love, he would never feel any regret over


    losing anyone. All because he had tried his best before...


    He would never let heartbreak bring him down, for it only upied a small part of his life.


    At that point, both of them didn''t really know what to say next to continue the conversation.


    Thus, they inadvertently chose to stay silent.


    As they ventured deeper, they were surrounded by a myriad of peculiar creatures - sharks, whales, and


    other beings of unknown origin.


    However, no creature dared to attack the icebreaker.


    Finally, after an hour, the two of them sessfully reached the peak of the underwater mountain.


    Jonathan expertly steered the icebreaker toward the cave, as if he had done it many times before.


    Before long, the two of them arrived in front of the cave.


    At that very moment, both Jonathan''s and Rhiannon''s clothes were still dry.


    Jonathan stopped repairing the icebreaker by then. Just as it was about to be crushed by the water


    pressure, he sessfully steered what remained of it into the cave.


    After entering the cave, everything became quiet.


    The ringing in their ears finally ceased. Earlier, due to the intense water pressure, they felt as if thunder


    was roaring in their ears, while their chests ached terribly. It was an incredibly ufortable sensation.


    Inside the cave, it was very dry andfortable despite the total darkness that surrounded them.


    After Jonathan dispelled the icebreaker, he cast a Fireball spell to illuminate the space they were in.


    The cave was very quiet inside. The well cover that was discarded earlier appeared to be untouched.


    At the same time, God''s Eye and the strange middle-aged man had already disappeared.


    "Is this where God''s Eye encountered the enemy?" Rhiannon asked Jonathan.


    Jonathan nodded as he replied, "That''s right!" While speaking, he arrived at the well hole to take a


    look.


    Rhiannon followed him from behind.


    The well was still shrouded in darkness. Both Rhiannon and Jonathan used their spiritual sense to


    explore it at the same time.


    Two streams of spiritual senses swiftly descended tens of thousands of meters, their speed far


    surpassing that of the physical body.


    Nevertheless, the situation remained the same as before, one simply couldn''t see the bottom.


    Rhiannon fully experienced the feeling that Jonathan had described.


    Subsequently, the two of them withdrew their spiritual senses.


    The two of them looked at each other, neither having any idea how to proceed.


    "Could it be that this isn''t Pollerton Tomb?" Rhiannon said. She stood up and looked around, trying to


    find some clues.


    With a serious tone, Jonathan said, "I''ve already used my spiritual sense to observe the surroundings,


    and there are no signs of anything suspicious around. It''s also unlikely that Pollerton Tomb is hidden


    here. It''s just that this ce feels really strange. Where does the aire from? How is the water


    pressure being held out? These are feats that you and I cannot achieve. There must be a reason why


    someone has created this strange environment here."


    Feeling that Jonathan''s words made sense, Rhiannon said, "Could there be something more to the


    cave walls than meets the eye?"


    Jonathan said, "I found nothing behind the walls. They are rock solid. This ce is just like an ordinary


    cave if we ignore the oddity of it being deep under the sea. The other strange thing is this well, could it


    possibly lead to Pollerton Tomb?"


    Rhiannon replied, "It''s unlikely. This well is so deep that you can''t even see the bottom. How could


    Pollerton Tomb possibly be in such a deep ce?"


    "Perhaps it''s a gateway that leads to another ce and this is merely the main door!" Jonathan thought


    of jumping through wormholes. We might be able to leap into another pocket dimension through this


    entrance. Perhaps, Pollerton Tomb is not at the depths of the sea at all.


    Rhiannon said, "However, when I probed downwards with my spiritual sense, I couldn''t detect an


    entrance to the enchantment."


    Jonathan suggested, "Shall we go down and take a look?" He paused, then added, "That middle-aged


    man came out from here. I''m sure there''s more to this ce than meets the eye."


    Rhiannon said, "It seems we have no other choice."


    The two of them immediately made up their minds to venture into the well.


    Right then, something strange happened.


    ck smoke billowed out from the well once again.


    Jonathan grabbed Rhiannon and instinctively stepped back. "This isn''t good. That middle-aged man is


    on his way here. God''s Eye might have been pulled in by him. He''sing for us now..."


    The two of them watched the billowing ck smoke anxiously.


    However, the ck smoke split into two streams this time.


    Next, two streams of ck smoke morphed into human forms.


    At that very moment, Jonathan''s eyes were filled with rage because he was all too familiar with one of


    them. It was none other than his biological father—Tristan Cadman!


    Tristan, dressed in white, had a stern expression on his face. Upon seeing Jonathan, a sinister glint


    shed across his eyes. "You b*stard. It turns that that you''re here. You''ve given me quite a hard time


    looking for you!"


    Jonathan''s heart pounded fiercely. "No, this can''t be right. It''s absolutely an illusion. Tristan couldn''t


    possibly be here!"


    At that moment, Jonathan confirmed his thoughts. He sneered and said, "Do you think you can fool me


    with mere illusions?"


    Meanwhile, Rhiannon''s face drastically changed. That was because the other stream of ck smoke


    had morphed into a woman.


    The woman, dressed in a vibrant red outfit, was so stunning that her beauty was unparalleled.


    She appeared to be around sixteen years old.


    Rhiannon''s delicate body began to tremble as if she was extremely afraid of the woman in red.


    "Don''t be afraid. They''re all illusions," Jonathan reassured Rhiannon.


    Right then, the woman in the red turned to Rhiannon and spoke in a seething tone. "Rhiannon, do you


    still remember me?" Her face was brimming with hatred, while her teeth were tightly clenched.

    Tears welled up in Rhiannon''s eyes. She covered her mouth and said, "Maisie, how could it be you?


    How is it possible?"


    "It was you. You deliberately let me go. You wanted me dead, so you could take over as leader!" The


    woman named Maisie Morton used Rhiannon in a resentful voice. At the same time, she turned her


    head around and said, "Look at the back of my head..."
