Chapter 539 - 537: You’re Saying My Son Ascended to Another Place?

Chapter 539: Chapter 537: You’re Saying My Son Ascended to Another Place?

Celeste Grant murmured to herself.

"Seeing our son lying in a coffin the moment this Mysterious Ancient Mirror turned on really gave me a scare. But it’s fine as long as he’s okay." As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the Mysterious Ancient Mirror in her hand.

The scene in the Ancient Mirror was still set deep underground, in that Underpalace. Her son remained motionless inside the Ice Coffin.

The Ice Coffin was suspended in midair, bound by Cold Ice Chains. The other ends of those chains were firmly welded to the surrounding walls. The sight alone was quite eerie.

Celeste Grant frowned slightly as she watched the scene unfolding in the Ancient Mirror.

She poked Javier Sinclair’s arm with one hand and looked at him in confusion.

"Javier, what’s going on with our son? He looks like he’s fallen into a deep slumber. Most importantly, how did he even get to a place like this?"

’Her son’s complexion was healthy, his face a normal color. His aura was stable, and he really did look fine. So what kind of Cultivation method is this? Also, what is this Cunmere Realm?’

Before this, Celeste Grant had thought her son was still in the Lower Realm. But the truth was, he was neither in the Lower Realm nor in Valerium, where she was now.

Javier Sinclair’s eyes fell upon the Ancient Mirror, watching the scene displayed within. In contrast to Celeste Grant’s worry, his expression was quite calm.

He shook his head slightly and said softly, "His aura is stable; it’s only his Primordial Spirit that has fallen into a deep sleep. This Ice Coffin contains an Array left behind by The Primeval Coven. Lying inside allows one to draw upon the forces of nature for refining the primordial spirit. So, my dear, you needn’t worry. This is a fortunate opportunity for him."

Upon hearing Javier Sinclair’s explanation, Celeste Grant’s eyes lit up. "It can draw upon the forces of nature for refining the primordial spirit?" she said softly. "In that case, the boy really has stumbled upon a great opportunity." ’Anything related to the Ancient Times is never simple,’ she thought.

Aaron Sinclair was her son, so naturally, she was happy that he had such an opportunity.

"Mm," Javier Sinclair nodded slightly. His gaze fell back on the Ancient Mirror as he said in a low voice, "Our son’s body is continuously absorbing the forces of nature. From the looks of it, he’ll likely be in Cultivation there for several decades. He will wake up naturally when the time comes."

’Isn’t that just how the path of Cultivation is?’ Hearing that her son would be lying in the Ice Coffin for several decades didn’t strike Celeste Grant as particularly outrageous. Still, the thought of not seeing her son for so long made her feel a little sad. Fortunately, she had the Mysterious Ancient Mirror and could still see him.

Seeing how much she missed their son, Javier Sinclair wrapped an arm around her waist and added, "A hundred years for our son inside is equivalent to several hundred years of Cultivation outside."

Hearing this, Celeste Grant suddenly felt she could bear not seeing him after all. ’It’s a good thing that our son is growing stronger.’ Thinking this, she said, "In that case, let’s not disturb him. We’ll let our son focus on his Cultivation."

At this point, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "By the way, where is this Cunmere Realm?" She already had a guess in mind. ’Could it be that our son ascended to a different place?’ It was the only possibility she could think of.

As it turned out, she was right.

Javier Sinclair explained, "The Cunmere Realm is another Immortal Domain. It’s not part of this one."

Celeste Grant scratched her head and couldn’t help but sigh. "Ever since I started on the path of Cultivation, I’ve suddenly realized how vast the world is. The more I see, the more insignificant I feel."

Just as she was speaking, the scene in the Ancient Mirror she was holding changed.

The words "The Mortal Realm" appeared in the Ancient Mirror. At the same time, the night sky flared with brilliant light, and a golden beam shot straight toward the nation of Kelldorn.

That was...

Javier Sinclair narrowed his eyes.

’That aura... it’s our son’s.’

Before Javier Sinclair could speak, Celeste Grant, sitting beside him, couldn’t hold back. "Huh? Javier, why did the image in the Ancient Mirror change? Look, it’s the Mortal Realm. And that aura just now was our son’s. But isn’t he in the Cunmere Realm? How did he get involved with the Mortal Realm? This Mysterious Ancient Mirror is your Companion Divine Artifact—it can’t be broken, can it?"

Javier Sinclair replied, "The Mysterious Ancient Mirror is my Companion Divine Artifact. It will not break." As he spoke, he looked into the Ancient Mirror. After a slight pause, he said in a low voice, "Then there’s only one possibility."

Celeste Grant immediately asked,

"What possibility?"

Just as she was wondering, she saw Javier Sinclair’s fingers gently brush across the mirror’s surface. The next moment, her son’s figure appeared in the Ancient Mirror.

The moment she saw the figure, even Celeste Grant was stunned. The boy who appeared in the Ancient Mirror looked just like her son at seven or eight years old.

That face, and the slight twitch of his brow when he frowned—it was definitely her son.

In her memory, her son, as the Young Master of the Demonic Sects, wielded Divine Artifacts and wore Vestment Robes. Even at seven or eight, he was a presence that could make others pale with fear.

The child before them looked destitute, dressed in tattered rags. His hair was tied back with a simple strip of cloth, and his shins were bare.

"This is... my son?"

She could hardly recognize him.

She grabbed Javier Sinclair’s arm and gave it a hard pinch. "Does that hurt?"

Javier Sinclair glanced at her and grunted. Then he heard his wife start to curse. "Who set our son up? Who made him so miserable?"

Looking at the figure in the Ancient Mirror, what was there not to understand? This was a form manifested by a splinter of her son’s Primordial Spirit.

She didn’t know how this splinter of his Primordial Spirit had ended up suffering in the Mortal Realm, but it was undoubtedly her son.

This splinter of his Primordial Spirit in the Mortal Realm was a part of him. If anything happened to it and it couldn’t return to his main body, his true Primordial Spirit, currently in slumber, would suffer a devastating blow.

’Even if a splinter of my son’s Primordial Spirit had gone to the Mortal Realm and become a mortal, he shouldn’t be this destitute. Unless he doesn’t even have his previous memories. Or maybe something else happened.’

Growing worried, she urged,

"Quick, figure out what happened to him!"

Javier Sinclair nodded slightly.

"Don’t rush. Let me take a look first."

He took the Mysterious Ancient Mirror from her, gathering the Power of Laws at his fingertips. He then gently tapped the Ancient Mirror. At the same time, a series of scenes showing what had happened to his son began to play out within it.

It showed his son after he ascended to the Cunmere Realm, getting into several fights. He was seizing opportunities and snatching treasures—in short, he was never idle.

After that, her son stumbled into an Underpalace Secret Realm. There, inside the Ice Coffin, he began his Cultivation, using the forces of nature to go about refining the primordial spirit. It was when he fell into his deep slumber that the Array within the Ice Coffin affected him, causing a splinter of his Primordial Spirit to pass through the Array and fall into the Mortal Realm.

Seeing this, Celeste Grant finally understood what had happened.

"So that’s how it happened."

"Keep looking. See what happened to him after that, how he ended up in such a miserable state."
