Chapter 129: Chapter 126- Operation Home Alone!

The bracelet clamped back onto Sol’s right ankle, allowing his hair and eyes to return to their normal color. He then gritted his teeth before he turned and took a step forward. His figure blurred as he used his Heavenly Steps to flee the ballroom in a flash.

The Nian Beast’s wailing screams could be heard as it chased after him. However, Sol comfortably increased the distance between them with his speed while the Nian Beast struggled to fit through the narrow hallways.

After running for a few minutes, Sol appeared back at the office. But he had to pause as the pathway was blocked after the Nian Beast destroyed the hallway.

"Damn, I wanted to collect the books in the office first."

Sol looked to see if he could clear the rubble and enter, but that would take a long time that he didn’t have.

’Maybe I can find them in the library. They can’t be the only copies in this entire palace.’

Sol decided to give up on these books. But even though they didn’t contain secret Martial Arts Techniques, they were still interesting. After all, they contained a forgotten history of the Easter Continent.

Those books could answer the questions he was curious about. Like what was it like back when those Immortal Deities existed? What was the structure of power on the continent like? Was the economy, and environment any different than it is now? If so, then how different?

Sol especially wanted to know how everyone went about their daily lives with these Deities lording over them. Did those Mortals know these beings existed? Did they perhaps worship them?

Overall, he just wanted to know how different a time like that was compared to now.

Though, most important of all his questions, he wanted to know how those Deities die.

But did they actually?

What really happened?

These questions made Sol feel like he was itching all over. He was too curious!

This was information maybe only the Six Holy Sects and Five Great Clans had because of how old they were, but was it as detailed as these books? After all, Sol might be the first person to read them in the past thousands of years.

With that thought, Sol ran toward one of the large arch openings and leaped through the blue barrier.

Before he could fall to his death, one of the bracelets on his leg detached and he used it as a steppingstone to redirect himself to the other side of the rubble blocking the pathway.

However, while he was outside, Sol took a quick glance at the scenery visible from this high up.

The sun had set long ago, revealing the starry night sky that seemed to blanket the earth. However, due to the rush of cold air, Sol shivered. He was practically naked due to his ruined clothes.

After landing on the other side of the rubble, Sol clamped back the bracelet onto his ankle, before quickly taking out another Alchemy Disciple robe from his storage bag to wear. When that was done, he glanced out of the palace once more.

That was because something had caught his eye.

Due to this being the Inner Court, which was deep inside the Hundred Plants and Herbs dimension, along with it being in ruins, when night fell everything was in pitch darkness.

There was no moon in the sky tonight so no light should be present.

It should be completely dark.

However, on the distant horizon, Sol could faintly see the light of a campfire.

Taking off the bracelet on his right hand, Sol used his Heavenly Eyes to see what this source of light was.

The tattoo of the sun and crescent moon faintly appeared on his forehead once more as he guided his bloodline energy into his eyes, which gained a ghostly black light.

After a few blinks, Sol’s vision enhanced, and he saw a small campfire.

Even after using his Heavenly Eyes, Sol was still unable to see the campfire clearly, it was still some distance away. But he did manage to see a faint silhouette that was being illuminated by the light of the campfire.

However, when Sol saw this faint silhouette, he audibly gasped in shock. He was that surprised.

"Brother Byeong-Ho?"

Sol knew that silhouette anywhere, that was definitely Byeong-Ho!

However, what happened next puzzled Sol.

The figure suddenly jumped up and began looking around frantically. He even had his hand on his sword that was on his waist.

"Who is that?!"

Sol heard a voice that seemed to faintly whisper in his ear from a distance away.

If everything wasn’t so silent he probably wouldn’t have heard it.

Startled by the voice, Sol instinctively spun around thinking someone was behind him. However, no one was there.

By this point, Sol was starting to get paranoid because a lot of ghostly things had been occurring around him. Maybe he was actually being haunted by ghosts. _{fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m}

Well, maybe not this time because after his initial surprise, he recognized this voice to someone very familiar.

’It sounded like Brother Byeong-Ho!’

Sol quickly turned back to look at the campfire, however, he didn’t see it light. It looked like Byeong-Ho had left.

"What was that? How was I able to hear Brother Byeong-Ho’s voice from this distance? Also, was he able to hear me as well?"

The two of them were around a hundred and fifty kilometers apart.

Previously, when his Master helped test out his Heavenly Eyes, Sol could only see about seventy kilometers away when he took off one bracelet. But now three years later that doubled.

"If it’s one hundred and fifty kilometers away, it would take me roughly a day and a half to get to that location."

Sol immediately shook his head.

As much as he wanted to see Byeong-Ho, Sol wouldn’t dare risk going outside of this safe haven since Spiritual Realm monsters were likely in abundance in the Inner Court.

But why would Byeong-Ho be in a place like this? Did he perhaps get teleported like them too? Or did he willingly come here?

Maybe Sol should help him.

Sol stood at the edge of the arch opening and thought for a moment. But soon, he looked out of the horizon and smiled.

"I’m sure Brother Byeong-Ho will be safe without my help. He’s my rival after all! I would be very disappointed if someone as great as him died like this. The heavens would be blind if they allowed that to happen. Perhaps he’s chasing his own Legacy Inheritance like I am."

That very well means he couldn’t slack off.

Sol turned and headed for Su Jin’s Mother’s room to collect those books. After that, he would head to the library.

Now that he had assimilated with most of the Legacy Rune that controls the Grand Formation that surrounds the palace, he was able to see everything inside.

Sol should have also been able to see where the Nian Beast was, but it was somehow hiding its presence from him.

"After so many years of living here, it’s not a surprise that it learned to control some parts of the Grand Formation Array, but I should be able to detect it if it tries to ambush me."

Sol clamped back the bracelet onto his wrist as he headed for the room. But he couldn’t help but glance at the bracelets for a brief moment.

It wasn’t that he was refusing to try and understand his abilities nor was he ignoring them by leaving them unsealed, but his father had placed these seals on him for a reason. A reason he thought about a lot.

After walking for a few minutes while deep in thought, Sol eventually came to the conclusion that it was either to help him slowly control his bloodline power little by little as he grows older, or it was to hide the fact that he had this bloodline.

Well, perhaps it was both.

But if the former was the case, then over time Sol would slowly learn more about his bloodline and himself like his father wanted.

For now, all he had to do was take everything in stride and not freak out about what bloodline ability will pop up in the future. Even if it was something like his hair turning a rainbow-like color, or him being able to faze through solid stone wall.

Suddenly, Sol froze in his steps because of that last thought he had. He began scratching his chin, while his eyes glowed with a peculiar light.

He was deducing a few things.

After a moment, the light faded, and his hand dropped from his chin.

Sol then grinned.

"No wonder it was unharmed from my arrows. It does make sense if I factor in an ability like that. I knew I wasn’t so weak. If I was, then I would have been training all this time for nothing. But now I need to find some way to fight it. I can’t just run away from it for an entire week. Plus, the barriers I can erect won’t last for long."

Sol thought some more before his mind wandered to Su Jin. He was able to escape from the Nian Beast all those years ago, perhaps he would know of a way to deal with it.

Sol closed his eyes and the blue rune on the back of his palm glowed a bit. Immediately, the layout of the entire palace appeared in his mind.

It was separated into the East wing and the West Wing.

If Sol wasn’t mistaken, this was the West Wing, Su Jin’s residence was on the East Wing. He lived as far away as he could from the impostor who was his Father.

Sol opened his eyes, and he decided to head there after gathering the books from the main bedroom.

There was no going around it, he had to handle the Nian Beast first before he could have the palace to himself to finish absorbing the Legacy Inheritance and read as many books as he wanted!

"Just you wait, you prolific home invader! I’ll find some way to deal with you. Has anyone ever told you before you have a problem? You need to get your own place!"

Sol clenched his fist in front of him before walking off to put his plan into action.

Operation ’Home Alone’ has officially commenced!
