Chapter 590: Chapter 589: Kingston Cave

Empty, silent, it had long lost all traces of life.

When Peter Brown looked into this space, there was no sign of any living beings.

Walking inwards, Peter saw quite a few carcasses scattered around, lying in the paths.

There was no spiritual energy in this quiet space.

Is this Hayward Space?

As Peter continued to walk inside, he saw an area that stretched as far as the eye could see.

His body flashed, and Peter flew towards the front.

After observing this place for a while, Peter estimated that it covered about a thousand square kilometers. This small world was indeed vast, but it lacked spiritual energy and only had oxygen-like substances found on Earth’s surface.

There were plenty of trees and flowers, but they appeared desolate.

What exactly happened here?

Peter began to feel puzzled.

As he flew towards a large city he had seen earlier, Peter realized it was more like a residential area. The houses were ancient in design, mostly built from earth and stone. Due to the passage of time, these houses had collapsed.

The area was overgrown with vines and wild grass, a completely dilapidated place.

Walking towards what seemed to be a main hall, Peter saw grand architecture and a vast plaza.

He continued inside and found many rooms.

Entering one of the rooms, Peter saw a skeleton that had once been sitting cross-legged but was now collapsed.

He first looked around, and then his gaze fell upon a Sound Recording Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip looked ancient, placed on a table in front of the skeleton.

Had something been left behind?

Peter picked up the Jade Slip and examined it closely.

After a while, he put down the Jade Slip and sighed.

Indeed, this Sound Recording Jade Slip contained the words spoken by the skeleton.

It turned out that Emperor Huang had taken most of his people to offer sacrifices and then planned to leave Earth for the Cultivation World. This Hayward Space served as an important base for Emperor Huang, so naturally, some people needed to stay behind to guard it. This skeleton, named Jeremia Charlton, was ordered to stay here with thousands of Emperor Huang’s soldiers.

In fact, their cultivations were not very high, and their purpose of staying behind was to serve as a secret army under Emperor Huang’s control. However, after Emperor Huang’s departure, those seeking power secretly set up a Ten Fatal Array to trap them. Moreover, they used great power to cut off the spirit veins, causing the small world to lose its replenishment of spiritual energy.

As time went by, the trapped people had no way out. As they lost their spirit veins, their life spans were gradually reaching their limits.

What worried them the most was that there were no women inside; it was all army personnel, so there was no way to carry on the inheritance. In the end, even those with high cultivation died one by one. Jeremia Charlton was the last to die, and with his death, this place became utterly desolate.

So that’s what happened!

Peter could only sigh. Even the greatest could not withstand the test of time. Jeremia Charlton, who had been left behind on Earth, must have had incredible cultivation, but even so, he still perished in the flow of time.

Peter didn’t know who sealed this place with a formation. He guessed that those people either left the Earth or died.

Why did they leave the Jade Tablets behind?

Peter was puzzled again.

In a moment, Peter guessed that the people who left the Tablets might have set something deceptively confusing to mislead those who came to rescue the trapped Emperor Huang’s soldiers.

Time had passed for too long, and Peter could not infer the exact situation. All he knew was that there was no life left here now. To utilize this place, the spirit veins would have to be dredged to allow life energy to flow in once more.

This little world was a good place for Peter, mainly because of the ten spirit veins. As the veins continuously poured in spiritual energy, the surroundings would become rich in spiritual energy. Now, someone had guided the ten spirit veins into an energy source for the Ten Fatal Array. The situation was not difficult to resolve. All Peter needed to do was modify the Array, and the Spirit Veins would flow back into the small world.

With that in mind, Peter left the Small World.

After leaving, Peter looked around to make sure there were no significant issues. He then set up an ancient Illusory Tracing Array to protect the entire mountain before trying to break the Ten Fatal Array.

After completing these tasks, Peter sensed several streams of True Qi piercing through the Azure Sky, coming in his direction.

He immediately realized that these must be the people he had teleported away earlier, returning to this place.

As for these individuals, Peter did not bother with them anymore. Neither the Ten Fatal Array nor the stronger Array he had set up could be broken by them.

As the Ten Fatal Array was removed, Peter guided the ten spirit veins back into the Small World.

With the grand Array set up, Peter wasn’t worried about anyone entering. He entered the Hayward Cave once more and sensed that the spiritual energy was recovering.

Success!

Seeing the situation here, Peter decided to place his family in this location.

Subsequently, he busied himself clearing out the carcasses in the Hayward Cave, using a storage bag to collect and bury them in a suitable feng shui spot outside the Hayward Cave.

Having dealt with that, Peter focused on various aspects of the Space, planning everything in his mind.

Peter had studied various subjects, so planning was not difficult for him. After some thought, he decided to divide this place into separate garden residential areas for his family members to live in once they arrived.

Well, keeping the name Hayward Cave isn’t a good idea!

After some thought, Peter simply changed the name to Kingston Cave.

Renovating this place would require quite a lot of machinery and equipment, and Peter was ready to get started.
