The Growth of a Titan
Chapter 288- A Single Step

Chapter 288: Chapter 288- A Single Step

Mar-Du controlled the yellow tune to float towards Sol.

Mar-Dule was unable to keep calm and he blurted out.

"Sol, that’s so cool! Have you really gotten rid of those flames?"

Sol smiled and nodded. He then went to say something, but he suddenly stopped and took out his Disciple Token jade slip from his storage ring.

After reading the message that had just come in, Sol’s body jolted. A relief expression then spread across his face as he clenched his Disciple Token and placed his fist against his forehead.

"What happened?"

Sol turned to Mar-Yue and said with an excited grin.

"Brother Yoon-Jae just sent me a message. Headmaster Young-Hwa received the Deep Autumn Flower and has started curing Little Zeel’s Aether Poisoning."

Mar-Yue was happy to hear that, but she said disheartened.

"If I wasn’t trying to hide it from father by having someone discreetly leave using a slower Spirit Treasure, then it could have arrived sooner."

Sol shook his head.

"It’s okay. However..."

Looking down at the Disciple Token in his hand, Sol asked in curiosity.

"How is it possible that I can receive messages inside this dimension so easily? It wasn’t the same for the Hundred Plants and Herbs dimension."

The yellow rune reached Sol and he landed on it.

Mar-Du then explained.

"The formation covering the entire dimension was created by ancestor Mar-Tu to keep the dimension intact, as well as keep the fire from spreading outside. However, there is a similar formation that encapsulates the entire Eternal Desert that bolsters this one.

With both being connected it’s not a surprise that it’s possible to send and receive messages while inside."

"So there’s a formation covering the Eternal Desert? I didn’t sense anything."

Mar-Du suddenly smiled in amusement and then said.

"If you can sense a formation created by someone as powerful as ancestor Mar-Tu then I’ll truly become terrified of you."

Sol blushed upon hearing that, and he realized he sounded quite arrogant just now.

Of course, runes and formation created by Immortals wasn’t something he could see through with his limited knowledge. That’s even with his Heavenly Eyes activated.

Mar-Dule suddenly piped in at this moment.

"Wait, Father, then all those times you left when the Eternal Desert trembled, is it because of this formation?"

"Hm, those tremors were the formation reacting to the Divine Flames inside the dimension. Even after so long, they seemed to have a mind of their own and would flare up to complete what it was set out to do."

"What’s that?"

Mar-Yue asked, and Mar-Du slowly responded.

"Destroying our Barbarian Race, or rather, our Giant Race."

Mar-Yue and Mar-Dule couldn’t help but shiver upon hearing that. To think all those times their father left, those flames were threatening their entire Race.

Seeing that he had scared his kids, Mar-Du smiled and said.

"There’s no need to worry, with the flames now extinguished we’re no longer in constant danger. Thank you, Sol."

Mar-Du turned to Sol, who waved his hands and said.

"It was nothing, there’s no need to thank me."

Mar-Du shook his head and said solemnly.

"If you think about it, your actions today have saved our entire Barbarin Race. But not only that, it’s thanks to you and senior that we’ve obtained our Blacksmithing Legacy."

"And not to mention ancestor Mar-Tu’s bloodline!"

Mar-Dule suddenly chimed in, and Mar-Du nodded.

He was currently staring at Sol with an intense look in his eyes.

Sol was like a lucky star who had brought an overwhelming amount of good fortune to their Barbarian Race. As the Tribe Leader, Mar-Du couldn’t find the right words to express his current emotions.

However, his heart sank when he thought about how he had tried to shoo Sol away after he seduced his daughter.

Mar-Du ground his teeth. If he could, he would go back to a few hours to give his past self a couple of slaps.

’Imagine if I had really separated both of them?’

Cold sweat drenched Mar-Du’s back and he immediately shook his head to get rid of those frightening thoughts.

Sol couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and scratch his cheek when he saw Mar-Du’s strange gaze.

Seeing Sol’s awkward smile, Mar-Du realized he was acting too strange. After coughing in his fist, he smiled and said.

"If I had known it would be this easy for you to extinguish the flames then I would have teleported us to the center of the dimension rather than the outskirts. It will take a lengthy period to reach the center if we traverse the dimension like this."

Suddenly, Mar-Yue’s eyes lit up and she scooted behind her father before jumping onto his back and wrapping her hands around his neck.

Mar-Dule’s reaction was the opposite of hers, his face had gone pale before he took a step back.

"Ah, you guys can go on ahead, I’ll travel alone."

Mar-Du chuckled in amusement when he saw this before he grabbed his son just as he was about to leap off the yellow rune. He placed him under his arm before he grabbed a clueless Sol and did the same.

"Everyone ready?"

"Ready!"

Mar-Yue yelled in excitement, but Mar-Dule’s face was getting darker and darker.

Before Sol could ask what was about to happen, the yellow rune below Mar-Du started to dissipate. But just before it fully dissipated, he took a step forward.

Sol immediately felt his head spin and all his organs started to shake. That included his stomach and it churned. He had to forcefully surpass the urge to throw up.

Sol was so focused on this that he didn’t realize they had suddenly arrived on a mountain. He had managed to stop himself from throwing up, but Mar-Dule wasn’t so lucky.

Mar-Du released his son and allowed him to violently throw up off to the side.

Mar-Yue, who was completely fine, glanced at her brother and roared in laughter unfitting of a refined lady.

Mar-Dule felt extremely indignant, but he couldn’t voice it due to his constant throwing up.

Mar-Du let Sol down, and Mar-Yue paused her laughter to turn to him.

"Are you okay?"

Sol took a deep breath and nodded.

"It gets better after the first time, don’t worry."

Mar-Du said patting Sol on the back. He then glanced around to observe the surroundings.

The mountain they were on was devoid of any trees, but there was a faint feeling of the Wood Element in the surroundings. A faint layer of grass was covering the ground as well.

"We’ve already passed the first line of flames and entered the second Safe Zone, but even so the flames had burnt away any vitality in the area."

Mar-Du’s gaze was on the other mountains, and as it turns out, this mountain was in a way better condition than its neighbors. Only barren and scorched mountains were visible as far as the eye could see.

When Sol heard that they had already reached the second Safe Zone, he was so shocked his heart sped up a little.

’We traveled so far after only a single step?"
