Chapter 1 The Sapphire Institute (Part 1)

The world's creation has always been extremely wonderful. Although the sacred mountain is surrounded by a mysterious and terrifying force, it is impossible to get involved, but when the sacred mountain is approaching, the power gradually begins to weaken, it has undergone magical changes.

The huge circle that extends thousands of miles outwards with the sacred mountain as the center has nurtured the most vibrant but also the most dangerous and terrifying wilderness forest on this ancient continent, while countless monsters that are far more powerful than other corners of the continent live here.

Eighteen rivers that originate from the depths of the sacred mountain flow through this vast land called the "Inner Ring of the sacred mountain", and flow all the way to the wider outer ring, that is, the Great Wasteland.

There, the human race that owns the holy city lives on this continent together with many once powerful tribes of the wilderness.

For the human race, the mysterious power in the inner ring of the sacred mountain is always a terrible threat, but it is particularly desirable. From a certain extent, this powerful power can even be said to be the highest goal of all dreams in the history of the human race.

The reason for this situation is that the ancestor of the human race, the legendary saint, left a strange book that wrote ten prophecies before his death. It is said that in the book called "The Mortal Scroll", the first of the ten prophecies directly stated that there is a huge secret hidden on the top of the sacred mountain. If the human race can obtain it, it will rule the entire continent and gain eternal life.

In this world, nothing can be tempted by supreme power and eternal immortality.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the increasingly powerful human race has always coveted the sacred mountain, hoping to step into it and get the treasure secrets mentioned by the saint.

However, the fact is cruel. The terrifying and powerful force on the sacred mountain is devastating to most living creatures in the world. Not to mention ordinary human races, even those who practice the most powerful witchcraft passed down from the ancestral race cannot support the sacred mountain for too long, otherwise they will soon be destroyed by that force and die tragically.

Even more than just the sacred mountain, it is in the inner ring of the sacred mountain - the place where the mysterious power has weakened a lot, it is still difficult to adapt based on the current ability of the human race.

The human race who practices witchcraft is usually called "wizards". In fact, most wizards will cause spiritual power to backfire after entering the inner ring, and then gradually fall into pain, and will eventually be burned to death by their own witchcraft power.

On the contrary, some human races who are not qualified to practice witchcraft can stay in the inner ring for a longer time as long as they are strong enough, but that's all. After a long time, everyone is still dead.

This mysterious power seems to be the natural enemy of the human race. It always cold and harshly rejects the human race's expectations for the sacred mountain and blocks the human race from the sacred mountain.

Therefore, over the years, the powerful and prosperous human race have established a majestic holy city, defeated the powerful wilderness tribes of the past, and ruled large tracts of land, but still cannot get close to the sacred mountain.

The biggest dream that has been passed down from ancient times to this day is still far away from the human race.

This painful situation continued until seventy years ago.

By chance, someone in the human race suddenly found a strange stone in the eighteen rivers flowing out of the sacred mountains. Because this stone is green in color and is as beautiful as jade, it was named Qingyu.

The special or magical thing about Qingyu is that it can almost perfectly isolate the terrifying power on the sacred mountain. In other words, as long as a house is built with Qingyu, all materials and floors are made of Qingyu, then the human race can avoid the mysterious power on the sacred mountain.

This discovery shocked the entire human race, and then, without surprise, the dream that had seemed ethereal and illusory for many years suddenly became clear in front of everyone's eyes.

Power and immortality! What else is better in this world than this?

A grand and crazy plan was quickly formulated among the powerful people of the human race!

For that dream, they wanted to build a miracle road to the sacred mountain. The plan was actually very simple. Entering the inner ring, a large green jade house would be built every five miles, just like a springboard, allowing the race to move towards the sacred mountain in their dreams at a level.

Among the human race, they called the green jade houses built in the inner ring "green jade house".

This is a medium-sized green jade house. In order to isolate the strange power outside, at night, the green jade house will completely close all doors and windows until dawn.

Yin He woke up in the darkness and felt a little frustrated.

A trace of chill came from the ground on his back, making him feel uncomfortable. He reached out and grabbed the blanket on his body tightly, and then he felt better. But the chill never disappeared, like a thin needle looming, which made him feel upset.

Yin He knew that it was the cold air emitted from the green jade. Every piece of green jade was formed after countless years of tempering and tempering among the eighteen divine rivers. They were born with this kind of cold air. The human race had no better way to do this, so they could only endure it silently.

And these uncomfortable, needle-like chilling green jades are the only safe reliance for Yin He and nearly a hundred other people in the inner ring.

Although it was still pitch black in front of me and I couldn't see my five fingers, Yin He knew that it should be early morning outside now. The morning light had just fallen on the earth surrounding the silence of the sacred mountain, and everything was awakening from the silence of the night. Of course, there were more unknown dangers that woke up at the same time.

As for why he was so upset after waking up, Yin He gradually understood the reason, because there were ninety-seven people who stayed with him in this dark green jade station for the night.

It's cold, stuffy and dark! Of course, it's not a good feeling to stay in this Qingyu Station, but Yin He has no intention of complaining about it, because just yesterday, there should be a hundred people in this Qingyu Station.

But two people died yesterday.

Among the two dead, one fell to a grass on the roadside while carrying green jade materials, and his arms were scratched by a spike on a black vine. Half an hour later, his whole body was stiffened and died; the other was working during the day, five or six feet away from Yinhe, and suddenly he was bitten into two pieces by a huge wolf-shaped monster that jumped out of the nearest woods.

Yin He saw the man's miserable howl before his death and the terrifying scene of blood spraying into the air were clearly seen by him. Until now, he seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood.

He lay quietly in the darkness, without saying a word, enduring the tolerant discomfort, waiting for the new day to begin.

Then, the day finally began.

A fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, which was a torch ignited. Then, a tall and fierce figure appeared behind the fire, striding towards the crowd lying on the ground and still sleeping, roaring loudly, kicking them with their feet, waking those who were still sleeping from their sleep.

"Get up, get up, get ready to work!" The man holding a torch roared loudly, breaking the peace in the green jade station.

Some people hummed because of the pain, but no one resisted or insulted. Most people stood up silently, sorted out their belongings, and then took out the food they carried in the package and started eating.

After a while, suddenly, a heavy sound came from the wall where Qingyu was located. Everyone in the dark looked back subconsciously, and only the rumbling sound rolled like thunder. After a moment, a bright light shone into the darkness.

It was dawn, and the captain opened the door. In the extremely dangerous place of the inner ring, the heavenly road built for the dream of the entire human race was presented to everyone. A new day began...

Yin He swallowed the last piece of dry and hard cake in his hand, silently hoping in his heart that he could spend the day safely, and then walked out with the crowd and left the only green jade house that could protect their safety.

※※※

The weather is good on this day, with blue sky and white clouds, and the breeze is refreshing. The forests and vitality are flourishing in the inner ring. There are often crisp bird songs among the plants.

Being here seems to be no different from the ordinary mountains and fields in the world, and it is a pleasant and comfortable scene.

But when this group of people walked here, they were all facing a great enemy, always doing their own things carefully and carefully looking at the quiet jungle around them from time to time.

It is not easy to build this heavenly road to the sacred mountain. In fact, it is quite difficult. Those who can enter the inner ring to build roads will not be wizards with powerful power. They do not have the qualifications to practice witchcraft, but have a strong body, and are then selected to do this extremely dangerous job.

So far, the human race has built fifteen green jade halls on this heavenly road in the inner ring, but as it deepens into the inner ring, the construction speed is getting slower and slower.

In addition to various dangers and dangers encountered, there are more and more monsters, and many accidental casualties occur from time to time, which makes transporting green jade a huge burden.

People must transport the collected green jade stones, one green jade site and one green jade site. Because of the limitation of the strange power in the inner ring, people can not work for at most six hours in a day, which is also an important reason for slowing down the speed of road construction.

The Qingyu House where Yin He is located is the thirteenth Qingyu House according to the number, which is considered to be a very deep place to enter the inner ring.
