Chapter 909 Arriving At The Sand Ind (Part One)


    Jimmy and Kimberley felt much better after taking the elixir that Austin had generously presented as a


    gift. It was a precious sixth level elixir. The lucky brother and sister expressed their gratitude after


    taking the medicine obediently. Then they immediately sat down on the ground and directed the elixir


    energy through concentration to those part of the body which were severely injured. A little whileter,


    they were able to recover from the fatal wounds and got rid of all their suffering.


    When both of them seemed stable, they made a move. The three of them fled the small ind and flew


    in the direction which Jimmy identified as the Sand Ind.


    Jimmy and Kimberley were young, so was Austin. Therefore, the awkwardness and silence prevailing


    earlier among them vanished soon after they began the second half of their journey.


    They had casual conversations every now and then. The boys, Jimmy and Austin, did most of the


    talking while Kimberley jumped in the discussion time to time. They were on good terms with each


    other.


    In the course of the conversation, Austin learned something more about his two new friends.


    He came to know that Jimmy and Kimberley were not only siblings, but they were also members of the


    younger generation of the famous Jin Family in the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom. What a big surprise!


    The Jin Family had held highly respectable positions in the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom for


    generations. It was a revered, and sometimes regarded as an intimidating old name.


    This time there were rumors that the residence of a mysterious ancient master was going to emerge in


    the Middle World Waters. A lot of strong, rising families had taken effective measures to hunt for


    legendary treasures. The Jin Family was one of them. Rumor also made rounds that the elders of the


    Jin Family had led a group of elite disciples and were hurrying on their way to the Middle World Waters.


    Jimmy and Kimberley told Austin how they were separated from the other family members several days


    ago and met with an ident. Before Austin made an inquiry, they confessed that they were with five


    other family disciples. And in fact, they were out on a mission to hunt sea beasts. Their elders had


    ordered them to retrieve as many beast cores as possible. But due to their pitiful looks and energy,


    apparently they failed in the task.


    Austin didn''tment, and Jimmy continued to tell him more. Right before Austin had showed up, the


    small team ran into a fierce sea beast. The sea beast looked suspiciously like a beast master and the


    young disciples were all shocked. The seven of them tried hard to defend its attack for a while but


    couldn''t avoid the brutal defeat shortly afterwards. Five Jin Family disciples were killed in the battle.


    Jimmy and Kimberley were the only ones who escaped by the skin of their teeth. Kimberley began to


    weep when Jimmy talked about the tragic that had struck them. Jimmy too stopped as he began to


    choke with emotions, like something was caught in his throat.


    Austin sighed. He felt bad for Jimmy and Kimberley and those who had passed away. The two of them


    were lucky to have survived such a brutal attack. Yet, they were unlucky to have witnessed the horrible


    death of their own blood.


    Jimmy and Kimberley wanted to return to the family base in the Middle World Waters.


    But before they could set out on their journey, a jade slip came. The jade slip was from a prestigious


    family elder, who was in-charge of the entire mission.


    The elder sent a message through the jade slip that the residence of the ancient master had already

    emerged from under the water. And the Jin Family demanded the presence of all its disciples at the


    Sand Ind. They were going to be prepared and ready in the region until they could get inside.


    Austin didn''t utter a word.


    As far as he knew, the Sand Ind was located somewhere between the Second Outer Ring waters


    and the First Outer Ring waters.


    As a matter of fact, not much distance was left.


    They could have reached the Sand Ind in almost an hour, if they could catch up with Austin''s speed.


    But Jimmy and Kimberley were slow. Austin had to control his impatience and temper to apany


    them as they kept flying slowly. He did not want anybody to see his eagerness, not even his new


    friends.


    Besides, he felt that he couldn''t fail them when they needed him the most. Jimmy and Kimberley were


    weak. It was easy for them to get in danger if they kept flying alone above the boundless sea.


    They could face trouble anytime, like the beast master which jumped out of the water a few moments


    ago or when they came across the tenth level sea beast a little while ago. Austin had been able to


    realize that Jimmy and Kimberley were not able to deal with either of those fierce creatures.


    Jimmy was simple and honest while Kimberley was gentle and refined. They impressed Austin with


    their good personalities. That was the reason why he couldn''t think of abandoning them.


    So, he stayed with them. And however it angered him, slowly they advanced forward.


    Fortunately, after flying for nearly a dozen or so tedious hours, they finally came to their destination.


    "Austin! Look! It is the Sand Ind! We''ve arrived!" Jimmy shouted with excitement.


    Jimmy and Kimberley both jumped with joy, like innocent children who had won something.


    Looking from afar, at the horizon where the water met the vast blue sky, a veryrge ind appeared in


    front of them.


    The ind was extremelyrge, with a total area of about 50, 000 to 60, 000 square meters.


    The wide ind were dotted with mountains, rivers and grasnds. The flowers grew abundantly on


    the ground. Hills were clothed with wild vegetation. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers.


    There were also several small cities and towns on the ind. Scattered around them, there were many


    peaceful viges adding to the picturesque beauty of the ind.


    It was rare to encounter such a wide ind in the middle of the sea. It made Austin feel better to see


    The ind also attracted a variety of wading birds, such as herons and egrets. There were many


    cheerful songbirds too hovering in the sky or strolling around. Looking around, Austin felt that not all


    inds were created equally. The beauty of the Sand Ind was far greater than what he had seen till


    now and it was defined by its luxuriant jungles and velvety peaks.


    But it was not only the vast territory, plentiful birds, or scenic beauty that made this ind so unique.


    There was more to it!


    It was a huge pce that towered above the peak and was floating in the sky. Magnificent rays of


    glittering light beamed from the pce. Auspicious clouds gathered around it and served as its support.


    Iparable spiritual energy enveloped the majestic building and the upturned eaves appeared


    distinctly.


    The huge pce stood in the void. The two bronze gates that were hundreds of meters high were


    closed.


    The steps that led to the gates were made of pure white jade and the handrails were made of gold. On


    the que hanging high in front of it was inscribed the name of the pce, Aigrette Pce.


    ''Isn''t it the legendary residence of the ancient master? How marvelous! The building itself is an artistic


    treasure of supernatural workmanship, ''


    Austin thought as he looked with awe at the magnificent grand pce suspended in the sky. He could


    not help but admire the pce for its beauty and extravagance.
