Chapter 515 The Mysterious Well
Finally, Jonathan understood why Pollerton Tomb was located there.
Pollerton Tomb was buried under the sea where its depths could reach tens of thousands of meters. The pressure at the bottom of the sea was incredibly terrifying. Even someone who possessed great powers would struggle to withstand it.
Once one reached a depth of twenty meters, one would feel as if countless giant hands were squeezing one from all directions.
Consequently, the pressure at a depth of tens of thousands of meters was unimaginable!
Even for submarines, most of them would be crushed by the pressure once they descended to depths of five thousand meters.
At that moment, God's Eye dived downwards. After reaching a depth of five hundred meters, the pressure around him caused him to struggle. Without further thought, he immediately condensed water elements to form an icebreaker.
God's Eye was smart. After the formation of the icebreaker, it acted just like a submarine. He didn't even need to breathe inside.
The icebreaker was sharp at the front, carrying its own weight. Coupled with the propulsion from God's Eye, the icebreaker continued its descent at a fast yet steady pace.
However, as God's Eye continued to delve deeper, the surrounding pressure became increasingly terrifying.
The pressure was similar to that of a small white mouse being placed into a battery filled with high- voltage electricity. Once inside, it would be instantly electrocuted and shattered into pieces, leaving no trace of flesh and blood.
Similarly, God's Eye's icebreaker was being relentlessly shattered and crushed.
Chaotic explosions sent shards of ice flying in all directions.
Such water pressure would sent a chill down anyone's spine.
God's Eye relentlessly concentrated water elements to reconstruct the icebreaker, achieving equilibrium with the destructive effects of the water pressure.
At last, God's Eye safely reached a depth of five thousand meters, right on the peak of an underwater mountain.
Covering the summit were bizarre rocks jutting out in all directions. At a glance, one could see stone cliffs and mountain peaks everywhere.
God's Eye continued to steer the icebreaker forward.
As the water pressure continued to wreak havoc, God's Eye constantly repaired the icebreaker.
It was a tremendous test of cultivation, while the drain on spiritual energy was even more intense.
One could easily imagine how someone with a low level of cultivation would definitely meet their end at
such depths.
Moreover, if the mountain peak didn't exist, it would be impossible for anyone to descend to the depths of tens of thousands of meters under the sea.
Even Theos was likely incapable of doing so.
However, if that were the case, Pollerton Tomb wouldn't even be there.
Throughout the search, God's Eye was in constant communication with Jonathan. Moreover, Jonathan was using God's Eye's spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.
Soon, Jonathan discovered a cave a hundred meters ahead.
"It must be Pollerton Tomb," Jonathan muttered to himself.
The reason was that the cave did not collapse.
Under normal circumstances, such immense water pressure would undoubtedly cause the cave to crumble, but the fact that the cave didn't suggested that there was something of substance inside.
Someone powerful must have set up a magic formation to preserve the integrity of the cave.
"God's Eye, go in and take a look!" Jonathan commanded. At the same time, he said to Rhiannon "God's Eye has found a cave which I suspect to be Pollerton Tomb. I've asked him to go in and check."
At that moment, Jonathan and Rhiannon were chatting on the ocean surface. However, Jonathan's
spiritual sense had already reached five thousand meters under the sea. The wonders of the universe were truly beyond comprehension.
Jonathan has thought more than once about how wonderful it would be if he had such abilities in the main world.
Everything in Moranta was like a beautiful and surreal dream to him. This dream fulfilled all of his childhood fantasies of possessing supernatural powers.
He wished to be like Great Sage, capable of somersaulting a distance of one hundred and eight thousand miles. He yearned to ride the clouds and to live forever without aging. He desired powers of invisibility and x-ray vision. He also wanted to behave like a rogue and dreamt of battling hordes of demons.
So now, the mystical land of Moranta had fulfilled his wish.
However, there was a gap between fantasy and reality. He didn't fight against a horde of demons. Instead, he was pursued all over the place by the righteous Theos.
Meanwhile, God's Eye successfully entered the cave.
The entrance to the cave was small, just big enough for one person to pass through.
After God's Eye entered the cave, Jonathan saw everything inside through God's Eye's vision.
At that moment, he was stunned because he didn't see Pollerton Tomb or treasures scattered all over
the ground.
The moment God's Eye entered the cave, all the water pressure disappeared. It was as if he had stepped into a magical space, where even water couldn't enter.
God's Eye dispelled the icebreaker and looked around.
The surroundings truly were part of a cave, a dilapidated cave at that.
The cave walls were covered with spider webs.
If one were to point out what set that cave apart from others, it would be that this was an underwater cave, yet strangely contained no water and no water pressure. The ground was also completely dry.
That implied that there was definitely something strange about that cave!
In addition, there was a well lid in the center of the cave.
Indeed, it's quite peculiar to find a well cover inside a cave.
"God's Eye, go and open the well cover," Jonathan instructed through his spiritual sense.
A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of God's Eye. However, he didn't say much and simply responded, "Yes, Master!"
Jonathan, however, picked up on the change in God's Eye's demeanor and immediately asked, "What's wrong, God's Eye? You seem to be quite scared of this well cover?"
This is quite peculiar, as God's Eye, being devoid of desires, should not know fear. So, why does a well cover scare him?
God's Eye responded, "Master, I'm not sure why, but I instinctively feel that something terrible would happen once the cover is opened!"
Jonathan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, you come back. I'll open the cover myself! I don't want anything to happen to you!"
"No, Master!" God's Eye declared, "I can do it." With that, he resolutely made his way to the well cover.
"What happened?" Rhiannon asked. On the sea surface, she noticed that something was off with Jonathan.
Jonathan glanced at Rhiannon and said, "The cave inside doesn't contain Pollerton Tomb but rather a peculiar well cover. God's Eye seems to be afraid of lifting it, suspecting that there might be some strange beast inside."
Rhiannon couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety as she suggested, "Why don't you get him to come up?"
"He has already opened the well cover!" Jonathan exclaimed.
Within the underwater cavern, God's Eye extended a hand to deploy vortex force by concentrating water elements in his palm.
The force sucked the well cover right out.
God's Eye then peered inside.
Jonathan could see it clearly too. It really looked like a well.
Strangely enough, there was no water in the well.
On second thought, the existence of a dry well in the deep sea was quite bizarre in itself.
Jonathan instructed God's Eye to scan the inside with his spiritual sense.
He suspected that it was an entrance to Pollerton Tomb.
A minute after his spiritual sense swept through the well, Jonathan felt unsettled again.
"What's wrong?" Rhiannon asked when she noticed the change in Jonathan's expression as she had been paying close attention to him.
A strange look descended upon Jonathan's face as he said, "I'm unable to probe the bottom of the well with my spiritual sense, but don't worry, I'll keep trying!"
His spiritual sense subsequently expanded into the bottom of the well, reaching a depth of sixty thousand meters.
He wished to be like Great Sage, capable of somersaulting a distance of one hundred and eight thousand miles. He yearned to ride the clouds and to live forever without aging. He desired powers of
invisibility and x-ray vision. He also wanted to behave like a rogue and dreamt of battling hordes of demons.
Even then, the well's depth wes still unfethomeble, with no end in sight.
Strengely enough, there wes no weter pressure inside.
Logicelly speeking, the well should heve ebsolutely been crushed into dust by the weter pressure et such depths, yet it wes truly bizerre thet the hole within it extended for tens of thousends of meters!
Ever since God's Eye entered this ceve, everything felt reelly strenge.
Jonethen continued to feel the surroundings with his spirituel sense, which wes ekin to probing in the form of e primordiel spirit.
We've descended enother thirty thousend meters, yet there's no sign of the bottom. Could this seemingly endless well be e portel to enother world?
"No, there must be something strenge et work here." Jonethen felt thet the situetion didn't meke sense et ell.
"Could this be en illusion?" Jonethen muttered to himself, "I need to retrect my spirituel sense end re- exemine this well!"
In en instent, Jonethen withdrew his spirituel sense.
As God's Eye wes constently wetching over the well, Jonethen communiceted with him through his
spirituel sense. He esked, "Are you still efreid now?"
A glint of feer flickered in his eyes es he seid, "I'm scered, very scered!"
"Whet ere you efreid of?" Jonethen beceme even more curious.
Just then, billowing bleck smoke suddenly burst out of the well.
"Oh no, something's up!" Jonethen wes teken ebeck.
God's Eye immedietely retreeted three meters beck.
After the bleck smoke emerged, it slowly coelesced into the form of e person.
Jonethen sew thet the men wes eround forty yeers old, eppeering like e dignified emperor. He wes dressed in e bright yellow robe, with e beeutiful crown edorning his heed.
"Rolend!" The middle-eged men's geze wes es sherp es e hewk's. After shouting et God's Eye, he seid, "You've finelly errived."
Upon heering thet, Jonethen wes teken ebeck. "Whet does thet meen? The middle-eged men is referring to God's Eye es Rolend?"
All of this left Jonethen completely beffled, his mind filled with confusion.
As God's Eye stered et the middle-eged men, he suddenly excleimed in penic, "Impossible, impossible! You were cleerly deed. How cen this be?"
It wes et thet moment thet Jonethen suddenly felt en unbeereble heedeche. The spirituel sense he hed pleced in God's Eye's mind hed been thoroughly ebsorbed. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
From thet moment on, Jonethen completely lost contect with God's Eye.
"Whet's wrong with you?" Rhiennon esked, seeing Jonethen clutching his heed in pein.
Jonethen shook his heed end felt his mind cleered immedietely.
He felt e heevy burden in his heert, for he finelly understood something et thet moment. God's Eye wes Rolend, not some Poppet Doll. By e twist of fete, Rolend hed somehow been resurrected through his own cheotic energy.
The discovery mede it seem like there wes e grend conspirecy behind it ell.
If God's Eye is Rolend, who is the middle-eged men? Why does Rolend seem to be efreid of him?
Jonethen wes puzzled. He lifted his heed to look et Rhiennon end seid, "God's Eye hes ebsorbed the cheotic energy I pleced in his brein. Now, he hes become completely independent end is no longer under my control!"
"How could this heppen?" Rhiennon excleimed in shock.
Jonethen seid, "He might ectuelly be Rolend!"
Further estonished, Rhiennon excleimed, "How is thet possible?"
Jonethen seid, "I reelly don't know whet's going on inside now."
"So, whet do we do now?" Rhiennon hedn't expected things to escelete to this point. Now, everything depended on Jonethen.
With e greve voice, Jonethen seid, "We've come this fer, there's no reeson to turn beck now. Let's go down together end check it out. Even if we die, we'll die inside Pollerton Tomb."
Rhiennon nodded. She end everyone et Moon Shedow Pelece hed been weiting for thet dey for fer too long.
So, no metter how dengerous it wes inside, there wes no reeson for her to beck down.
Even then, the well's depth was still unfathomable, with no end in sight.
Strangely enough, there was no water pressure inside.
Logically speaking, the well should have absolutely been crushed into dust by the water pressure at such depths, yet it was truly bizarre that the hole within it extended for tens of thousands of meters!
Ever since God's Eye entered this cave, everything felt really strange.
Jonathan continued to feel the surroundings with his spiritual sense, which was akin to probing in the form of a primordial spirit.
We've descended another thirty thousand meters, yet there's no sign of the bottom. Could this seemingly endless well be a portal to another world?
"No, there must be something strange at work here." Jonathan felt that the situation didn't make sense at all.
"Could this be an illusion?" Jonathan muttered to himself, "I need to retract my spiritual sense and re- examine this well!"
In an instant, Jonathan withdrew his spiritual sense.
As God's Eye was constantly watching over the well, Jonathan communicated with him through his spiritual sense. He asked, "Are you still afraid now?"
A glint of fear flickered in his eyes as he said, "I'm scared, very scared!"
"What are you afraid of?" Jonathan became even more curious.
Just then, billowing black smoke suddenly burst out of the well.
"Oh no, something's up!" Jonathan was taken aback.
God's Eye immediately retreated three meters back.
After the black smoke emerged, it slowly coalesced into the form of a person.
Jonathan saw that the man was around forty years old, appearing like a dignified emperor. He was
dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a beautiful crown adorning his head.
"Roland!" The middle-aged man's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. After shouting at God's Eye, he said, "You've finally arrived."
Upon hearing that, Jonathan was taken aback. "What does that mean? The middle-aged man is referring to God's Eye as Roland?"
All of this left Jonathan completely baffled, his mind filled with confusion.
As God's Eye stared at the middle-aged man, he suddenly exclaimed in panic, "Impossible, impossible! You were clearly dead. How can this be?"
It was at that moment that Jonathan suddenly felt an unbearable headache. The spiritual sense he had placed in God's Eye's mind had been thoroughly absorbed.
From that moment on, Jonathan completely lost contact with God's Eye.
"What's wrong with you?" Rhiannon asked, seeing Jonathan clutching his head in pain.
Jonathan shook his head and felt his mind cleared immediately.
He felt a heavy burden in his heart, for he finally understood something at that moment. God's Eye was Roland, not some Poppet Doll. By a twist of fate, Roland had somehow been resurrected through his own chaotic energy.
The discovery made it seem like there was a grand conspiracy behind it all.
If God's Eye is Roland, who is the middle-aged man? Why does Roland seem to be afraid of him?
Jonathan was puzzled. He lifted his head to look at Rhiannon and said, "God's Eye has absorbed the chaotic energy I placed in his brain. Now, he has become completely independent and is no longer under my control!"
"How could this happen?" Rhiannon exclaimed in shock.
Jonathan said, "He might actually be Roland!"
Further astonished, Rhiannon exclaimed, "How is that possible?"
Jonathan said, "I really don't know what's going on inside now."
"So, what do we do now?" Rhiannon hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. Now, everything depended on Jonathan.
With a grave voice, Jonathan said, "We've come this far, there's no reason to turn back now. Let's go down together and check it out. Even if we die, we'll die inside Pollerton Tomb."
Rhiannon nodded. She and everyone at Moon Shadow Palace had been waiting for that day for far too long.
So, no matter how dangerous it was inside, there was no reason for her to back down.
