Chapter 1044 Heart of the Jungle
Leon didn\'t expect to find a Tier-6 Teleportation Array deep in the abyss. But then again, he did know what to expect from the abyss besides a Celestial Wood Spark, which he had yet to confirm.
Nevertheless, the Tier-6 Teleportation Array was damaged.
Parts of it were missing. Even so, it was mostly whole enough for Leon to recognize it as a Tier-6 Teleportation Array.
If he could advance his runic knowledge to tier 6, he reckoned he could patch up the missing pieces like putting in the last pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
"But why is this Tier-6 Teleportation Array here? And where does it lead?" Leon mumbled to himself.
Although Rainshine overheard his questions, she knew that the questions weren\'t meant for her.
Even if they were, she wasn\'t knowledgeable enough in runes to answer. As such, she kept silent and did not distract her master\'s thoughts.
Leon carefully studied the damaged Tier-6 Teleportation Array on the space debris and scanned its interior with his divine sense.
Most of the runic circles and lines engraved in the Tier-6 Teleportation Array were still too complex for him to understand.
However, he still had sufficient knowledge as a Tier-5 Runemaster to understand some parts of the Tier-6 Teleportation Array. Even so, it still took him five dozen breaths to pinpoint the spatial coordinates and figure out where the array set its destination.
"These spatial coordinates… lead straight to where the debris ring is," Leon furrowed his brows for a moment before muttering with understanding, "Makes sense…"
Although Leon wasn\'t exactly sure what it was used for, he knew that the debris ring orbiting Gaia was a megastructure built by the Nova Civilization. It was an orbital ring of sorts.
Many people might have lived on that massive orbital ring.
And given such an enormous megastructure completely looped around a giant planet like Gaia, the distance it covered was enormous.
It made sense for the Nova Civilization to build numerous Teleportation Arrays to enable their people to quickly travel to different sections of the orbital ring megastructure.
\'Transfer points!\' Leon\'s eyes brightened suddenly.
If the orbital ring had Tier-6 Teleportation Arrays for intercontinental travel, there was a chance that there may be other teleportation arrays for interplanetary and interstellar travel as well.
\'If I can find one of those interplanetary transfer points, it might be possible to leave Gaia—No! It won\'t work. Even if there\'s an interplanetary transfer point, it won\'t be able to get past the spatial lock,\' Leon suddenly thought.
Great Void Celestial Conqueror had sealed the entire planet in a powerful spatial lock.
Trying to get past such a powerful spatial lock by relying on teleportation arrays that make use of spatial power is the same as asking for death.
\'Even if the interplanetary and interstellar transfer points are still working, using any of them might just send me into the strongest part of the spatial seal. My body would be torn to shreds when that happens,\' Leon mused with a serious look.
Nevertheless, Leon was no expert in Spatial Law. Darlene would know more about it than him. He should seek her advice when he could.
Perhaps Darlene might be able to come up with a method to bypass Great Void Celestial Conqueror\'s spatial seal.
Alas, Leon did not bring Darlene with him. As such, he could only ask her later when he returns to the Human Domain.
After recording a copy of the damaged Tier-6 Teleportation Array in the Archive, Leon left the damaged Tier-6 Teleportation Array where he found it and continued to venture deeper into the abyss.
With his wood ability, the tree roots and vines slowly parted as he willed them so.
As he drew closer to the densest region of wood energy, Leon\'s divine sense picked up a green orb that was oozing with seemingly limitless wood energy.
Nevertheless, he continued to approach the green orb\'s location until he personally saw it with his own eyes.
"As I suspected, there really was a Celestial Wood Spark here," Leon\'s eyes brightened as he glanced at the Celestial Wood Spark with countless thin roots attached to it.
It was undoubtedly the heart of the jungle.
"You were searching for this thing, Master?" Rainshine asked as she glanced at the Celestial Wood Spark curiously.
However, Leon surprisingly shook his head.
He had no intention of taking the Celestial Wood Spark. If the western jungle loses the Celestial Wood Spark, it will cease to exist. And the consequences that follow after that would generate bad karma.
"No, I only came to confirm the Celestial Wood Spark\'s existence in this place. I am looking for something else; two other things, in fact."
"What things exactly, Master?"
"The first matter is to find out where all the spirit energy of the plants went, and the second matter is to learn the history behind this abyss."
Given that the plants could grow and thrive without sunlight purely due to the Celestial Wood Spark, Leon wouldn\'t be surprised if the plants don\'t produce any spirit energy.
However, the fact the plants did produce some spirit energy—only for them to be stripped away made the abyss all the more mysterious and interesting to explore.
"Is that something possible to find out simply by exploring the abyss?" Rainshine asked.
"I don\'t know," Leon casually shook his head before saying, "But if we don\'t even look, we can\'t expect to find answers, now can we?"
"That… makes a lot of sense, Master," Rainshine replied thoughtfully.
Such a deep hole like the abyss couldn\'t have existed without reason; there must be some history to it.
As Leon continued to descend down the abyss with Rainshine, they eventually made it through the sea of tree roots and vines. They were finally free of obstacles.
It was just a straight plunge of empty space from there onwards.
"Just how far does this abyss extend? It wouldn\'t extend all the way to the core, would it?" Leon wondered.
As Leon had that thought, he decided to fly over to the rocky walls and connect his consciousness to the earth to save time in his investigation.
A short while later, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
