The Growth of a Titan
Chapter 285- Probably Not

Chapter 285: Chapter 285- Probably Not

After the group left the stone monument, Mar-Dule was unable to contain his excitement as he turned to his father and asked.

"Dad, how are we going to enter the dimension?"

Neither Mar-Dule nor Mar-Yue had even been told much about their dimension.

Mar-Du smiled in response and suddenly stopped the yellow rune.

Everyone then watched in curiosity as he waited for the hole in the stone monument to close before forming hand seals.

"Wait, don’t tell me this stone monument is how we get into the dimension?"

Mar-Dule said with a bit of shock in his voice.

Mar-Du chuckled and then said.

"If you compare the few ancient treasures that survive till now in our Barbarian Race, this is the most valuable treasure among them, even if it doesn’t have any offensive or defensive capabilities. Well, it could be used as a one-time defensive treasure since it’s able to withstand an attack from a Spiritual Realm cultivator."

Mar-Du wore an amused expression as he said that last sentence.

After a longer string of hand seals, Mar-Du finally stopped and pointed at the stone monument.

The stone monument lit up with a familiar circular formation before a golden beam sprung forth from it and covered the group.

Sol felt the familiar feeling of being teleported and he glanced around.

The nearby trees, the stone-tiled ground, the starry night sky and the crescent moon. The scenery around him began to turn hazy and hard to see.

After a few breaths for time when the distorted scenery started to return to normal, everyone was suddenly bombarded by intense heat from all sides.

Mar-Dule yelped in shock, while Mar-Yue frowned at the sudden discomfort.

Only Sol, Abdu, and Mar-Du were relatively fine.

They were floating a few meters in the air on the yellow rune while below them was a scorched ground lacking any vegetation. A bright golden glow was seen spreading across the entire horizon several thousand meters in the distance.

Sol glanced away from the golden glow and looked up to see that the sky was completely shattered, revealing a pitch-black void that led to chaotic space.

However, he could see faint red runes flickering in the firmament, acting as a barrier to keep the chaotic space out and stabilize the dimension.

"We’re here."

Mar-Du said with a solemn expression.

Mar-Dule, being the one most affected by the heat, started to circulate his Aether Energy to protect himself. Even his protective robes were useless right now.

However, his gaze soon landed on the golden glow in the distant horizon, and after squinting his eyes, he finally realized what it was.

"This is the outer circle, right? That means that the golden light in the distance is the flames. How terrifying, we’re so far away but the heat is still so intense."

Mar-Yue suddenly added.

"You’re overlooking the fact that Father’s rune is protecting us as well, so those flames are even more terrifying than you imagine."

Mar-Dule expression went slightly pale when he heard that.

If he had entered this dimension by himself, he might have instantly burnt to ash.

Mar-Du turned to Sol and said seriously.

"If you have a way for us to get past these flames then now is the time to tell us. Even for me, it will be hard to protect you guys as time goes on."

Sol looked at the horizon and feeling his Holy Crest going crazy in his mind, he exhaled a breath of nervousness.

’I hope this works.’

Sol turned back to Mar-Du and spoke.

"Senior Mar-Du, can you promise to not reveal whatever happens in this dimension? I-"

Mar-Du raised his hand to cut off Sol before he could finish. He then smiled and said.

"Not only are you my daughter’s cultivation partner, you’re also my son’s friend. As a father, it’s in my best interest to not reveal your secrets and place them in harm’s way. As for being the Tribe Leader, not only are your talents great, but you also have two powerful individuals behind you that even I don’t dare take lightly. And that’s not to mention that Master of yours my son refuses to tell me. I assume that anyone who can take someone as talented as you as a Disciple is a great individual."

Sol smiled bitterly and he scratched his cheek before saying.

"My Master is Cheonma."

Mar-Du immediately faltered upon hearing that, and he looked at Sol with a stunned expression. He slightly turned to look at his son for confirmation, and Mar-Dule nodded solemnly.

Mar-Du’s expression changed continuously before he suddenly released a long sigh.

"Do not reveal this secret at any cost to anyone, do you hear me? If the Six Holy Sects and Five Great Clans catch wind of this, you’ll be treated as an enemy of Jianghu. Especially, the Six Holy Sects, you must be careful of them finding out."

Mar-Du looked at both Sol and Mar-Dule as the two would be in Jianghu in the coming future.

Sol and Mar-Dule nodded with serious expressions. This was something they already knew without it having to be mentioned to them.

Mar-Du sighed once more before he suddenly thought of something.

He turned to Sol to convey his thoughts, but his mouth opened and then closed. He chose not to say what was already at the tip of his tongue.

As for what he was going to ask, it was regarding the relationship between Cheonma and Young-Hwa. If Cheonma was Sol’s Master, then did Young-Hwa know that was the case when he took Sol in as a specially recruited disciple?

’The fact that Cheonma is still alive is already shocking news, but to think he would have a disciple like this and even have the gall to send him to cultivate in Jianghu. Just what was he thinking?’

However, Mar-Du immediately discarded these thoughts.

Cheonma was an old monster that led the Forgotten Sect to rise to unbelievable heights ib the past, even reaching strength equal to the Six Holy Sects. At that time the Five Great Clans were just rising to power to match the Holy Sects, but even with their strength added to the mix, it took a great deal for them to defeat the Forgotten Sect.

Just thinking about the records he had read that detail the events of those times, Mar-Du couldn’t help but have streaks of cold sweats appear on his back.

Cheonma was said to be someone from their Barbarian Race that cultivated like their Barbarian Race and those from Jianghu, but even so, would he spare them if he had killed Sol for seducing his daughter?

Probably not.
