SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 291: Signs of Inheritance ground

With a flash of blinding light, Kent felt an intense pressure closing in from all sides, his senses momentarily overwhelmed by the distortion of space.

In the next heartbeat, the sensation vanished, and he found himself standing on solid ground once more. Blinking rapidly, he took in his surroundings. Before him, in the distance, loomed a stone castle, its imposing structure a stark contrast to the barren land that stretched for miles around.

Following Jia's lead, the group stepped out of the teleportation formation, their eyes fixed on the castle entrance.

This desolate stronghold, situated on the eastern side of the Blue Planet, was one of the last bastions of the Wizard Association in these empty lands. The landscape was bleak, devoid of any greenery, a sea of cracked earth under a pale sky.

As they approached the castle entrance, wizards clad in dark robes directed everyone towards the path leading to the inheritance ground. The castle itself seemed almost abandoned, its grandeur marred by the desolation that surrounded it. There was nothing to linger for in this distorted place, so they quickly resumed their journey towards the inheritance ground awakening place.

Jia, sitting on a majestic white wolf, led the way with an air of authority and grace. Her wolf flew with a fluid elegance, its fur shimmering under the pale sunlight. Kent, along with the others, mounted their own pets and followed her. Kent's mount, a sleek Fire Kirin, moved silently, while it's fiery mane glowed.

As they soared through the air, the barren landscape below began to show signs of life. In the distance, Kent noticed other groups of people moving in the same direction, their numbers steadily increasing. The path to the inheritance ground was becoming a convergence point for many, all drawn by the desire of ancient power and secrets waiting to be awakened.

Jia felt annoyed by constant chatter of Fatty and Tata Lan with Kent. As she always moved alone, she didn't like the constant buzzing sounds and loud laughter.

The silence of the empty lands was broken only by the sound of their mounts' movements and the occasional murmur of the wind. Kent glanced around, his eyes scanning the other travelers. Surprisingly, some were on foot, their robes billowing behind them; others rode various mystical creatures, each more fantastical than the last.

"Ah, Jia," the elder greeted her with a warm, familiar smile. "It's good to see you."

"Nice to meet you, Elder Wen. My grandpa asked me to convey his wished on your promotion to head wizard rank." Jia replied, handing over her token.

"By the way, these people are with me," she said, gesturing to the group behind her.

Elder Wen nodded and began verifying the identities of Kent and Tata Lan, his eyes sharp and efficient. After a few moments, he handed each of them a token marked with the octopus symbol. "These tokens are your entry permission into the Inheritance Ground. Keep them safe," he instructed.

He then turned his gaze to Kent. "The other three members of the Eternal Sun Sect are residing in the tents on the backside. Do you wish to join them?"

"No need, Elder Wen. We will take an empty plot. I have a magic castle with me." Kent, who know that the matter of peak master Porus's should kept secret, quickly denied the elder with a smile.

Elder Wen raised an eyebrow but nodded, showing no further curiosity. "Very well. Safe stay, and be wary of the variation below ground."

With a few more words, Jia parted ways with Kent group. She moved towards the central tower, glowing with the octopus symbol, while Kent led his group in search of an empty space.
