The Legendary Man novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 Chance

As he stood on the mountaintop, Jonathan stared coolly at the bronze mirror in his hands. For some reason, it had stopped transmitting messages ever since he posed as Irving to question Sofus.

Ten minutes later, however, words finally appeared in the mirror again: None of my business. Despite the lack of a name, Jonathan knew with just one glance that it was Sofus replying.

J: Fine. But can you at least tell me what’s going on in Summerbank Abyss? Before we came in, you clearly said there wouldn’t be any dangers.

Upon seeing the words, Jonathan curled his lips into a half smile. Ah, somebody’s pretending to be me to ask these questions. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s most likely Irving. Then again, given the unique features of the mirror, who can know for sure?

Just then, lines of words showed up in the mirror again: I invited all of you to help track down my mentor, so why would I bring harm to anyone? In all honesty, Summerbank Abyss was originally a highly guarded secret of the Phoebus Sect. I’m sure you’ve all realized by now that even though the place is fraught with peril, it’s also brimming with spiritual energy.

You’ve faced many attacks from the demon beasts lurking in the abyss, but as the saying goes, the higher the risk, the higher the reward. Trust me when I say Summerbank Abyss has its fair share of magical plants. I’ve only been training for four years, yet I’ve already gone from being a mere mortal to being a Grandmaster.

That was only possible because I found a unique spiritual herb here. Of course, everyone’s free to search for the treasures hidden in this place. As for the man in black, I have no idea who he is, but rest assured that I’ll take action accordingly if I see him. Similarly, if any of you see my mentor in Summerbank Abyss, please inform me. After all, I’ve already paid everyone, so I hope you’ll put in the work and effort.

With that, the mirror fell silent. Jonathan’s frown deepened as he stared at it. Judging by how earnest the messages sounded, he was sure that Sofus had been the one replying.

However, if the latter wasn’t the man in black, then who could it be?

On the bright side, the message also revealed a lot of important information about Summerbank Abyss, including the fact that it contained some of the most magical plants in the world.

Who would’ve imagined that those plants could boost an ordinary person to the advanced phase of the Grandmaster Realm in a short span of four years? Not only would people like Lauryn want to get their hands on it, but even someone in the God Realm like Jonathan would also get tempted by it.

Unsurprisingly, that irresistible temptation had given Lauryn and the others a change of heart. Ever since the man in black showed up, they had more or less decided to beat a hasty retreat.

After all, even though they had taken Sofus’ money and promised to find his mentor, there was no way they’d risk their lives for it.

However, things were different now. If there were a secret plant that could help produce a Grandmaster in just four years, taking it out of Summerbank Abyss would undoubtedly shock the entire martial arts world.

Even if they ate the plant at their current Grandmaster cultivation level, they might very well be able to achieve a breakthrough into the God Realm!

Cultivation had always been an act that defied the laws of nature, so any breakthrough, regardless of its magnitude, would never fail to excite the cultivators.

Now that there was an advancement opportunity within their reach, why would anyone in their right mind give up on it?

Jonathan, too, was no exception as he broke into a smile.
