I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 708 Stone of Fate

According to Ziyan's explanation, the Foundation was the main root of cultivation; much like the source of water, it was the very core of all foundations.

If one's Foundation was destroyed, that would mean that the person would only be able to rise to a certain limited height in terms of cultivation through hard work, but never be able to reach the peak.

As for the awakening of his Foundation, in simplified terms, it simply referred to the pure Yang energy that he would obtain from his awakening of the Way of Heaven, according to Master Ghost's words. Ziyan had said that the Way of Heaven he had awakened, or in other words, his Foundation, was actually a destroyed Foundation instead.

This was the reason why his cultivation was still far from Ziyan's expectations, even though the first cycle of his powers did grant him great improvements.

"Then what should I do? Does it mean that I have already reached the ceiling of cultivation and I can't improve anymore?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"There's always a solution! The Dragon Blood Jade and the Stone of Fate can help you restore your Foundation to how it was in the beginning," said Ziyan as she looked at Chen Hao with a gentle smile on her face.

"I have the Dragon Blood Jade; it is truly mystical. As for the Stone of Fate, where should we go searching for it?" asked Chen Hao, who was surprised.

"I had originally thought that we would be wasting a lot of time searching for the Stone of Fate, but things are different now as I do believe we have already gathered together two of the most mystical things in the world," said Ziyan.

"Ziyan, are you saying that you have the Stone of Fate?" Chen Hao couldn't help but break into a grin as he spoke.

"Of course not! But we can replace the Stone of Fate in this place!"

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"No wonder Miss Ziyan had said 'this is the place' earlier. So it seems that you had already noticed that this is the place where the Stone of Fate is located!" exclaimed Chen Pingan.

"That's right. I was thinking, maybe we found this place without any hiccups because the Celestial War God was secretly extending his blessings from the shadows." There was a hint of relief in Ziyan's face as she spoke.

"In other words, the mystery that we've been cracking our heads on is about to be unraveled?" asked Chen Hao with intense concentration.

"That should be about it. We will need to wait until after we have activated the Stone of Fate to discuss further."

Ziyan pointed at the suspended platform in the air. "Hao, let's enter the platform and try to activate it together!"

With that said, she had already levitated herself up onto the platform.

Chen Hao followed suit and landed on the platform; he noticed that there were actually many fine lines spread out all over this empty and spacious platform after he set foot on it.

It seemed to be a gigantic Feng Shui compass that was being suspended in the air.

"This is the magical array that summons the Stone of Fate. A really strong and unyielding force is needed to activate it. Neither you nor I can achieve it by ourselves, but we can activate this array by working together to control the force of the Dragon Blood Jade, and direct its power to the magical array!" Ziyan explained to Chen Hao.

In the past, Chen Hao had already noticed how extraordinary the Dragon Blood Jade was. Now it seemed that the method of using it was even more peculiar. It also seemed like he wasn't able to unleash the full potential of the Dragon Blood Jade and its many powerful abilities with his current abilities.

At that moment, they concentrated their energy together, and both of them were united in their power.

Soon, Chen Hao noticed how the Dragon Blood Jade illuminated the entire array with its golden light; the originally obscure array immediately became blindingly bright. It radiated an azure glow that began moving toward the center and condensing there. Not long later, a blue crystal the size of an adult's fist appeared before them with a burst of energy.

"This is the Stone of Fate?" Chen Pingan could barely hide the amazement in his heart.

Chen Hao felt its energy from such a close distance; he was also deeply shaken.

The brilliance of the Stone of Fate gradually dimmed and as Chen Hao raised his hand, the stone slowly fell into his palm, emitting a gentle and warm energy.

"This thing is extraordinary even by just its outward appearance. I can clearly feel the great strength it possesses as I hold it in my hand! Ziyan, my family once owned the Sun Totem that could be used in divination. Does this Stone of Fate also have properties of divination?" exclaimed Chen Hao.

"Yes. However, its abilities are not only limited to divination. Now, using the Dragon Blood Jade as a medium, try to communicate with the Stone of Fate and ask the question that your heart desperately seeks the answer to. I too want to ascertain whether this Stone of Fate is really just as mystical as the rumors say!" said Ziyan.

"Okay!"

Chen Hao did just as she had told him to.

At that moment, when he shut his eyes, a stream of light passed through the Dragon Blood Jade into the Stone of Fate. After that, Chen Hao opened his eyes once more.

Just like Ziyan, he quietly anticipated any changes in the Stone of Fate.

The stillness lasted for only a moment, then the Stone of Fate began to float in his hand and emitted a bright blue light.

This burst of light made both Chen Hao and Ziyan take an involuntary step back.

Then, the blue light began forming a curtain of light before their eyes. It seemed to be some sort of screen; it was translucent, much like a mirage.

A vast ocean was being projected on the screen.

Thoroughly surprised, Chen Hao watched on silently.

The ocean was big and empty. With the tranquil night sky as its backdrop, its stillness aroused a certain wariness in people.

Some time later, a large passenger ship slowly sailed across the calm ocean under the night skies.

Two girls could clearly be seen engaged in conversation on the prestigious A Class deck of the ship as they observed the limitless night sky.

This scene was very idyllic indeed.

Yet tears clung onto the corners of Chen Hao's eyes; his heart was a delicate jumble of ups and downs.

It was on this passenger ship-and not any other random ship-where he had lost Tongxin in a strange incident. The very Tongxin that he had lost, was one of those two girls standing on that A Class deck. This was the night that Tongxin got involved in the peculiar incident!

Chen Hao felt an inexplicable sense of chaos in the depths of his heart.

Chen Hao knew that Tongxin was captured by the League of the Sun, but as for how they pulled it off, or how exactly did this shady League of the Sun come to existence in this world, these were things that Chen Hao didn't have the slightest clue about.

So at this moment, he gathered all of his attention and intently watched the scene unfold.

Very soon, changes to the scene could be observed.

A large whirlpool had formed at the front of the passenger ship amidst the continuously rolling waves.

This whirlpool was like a large mouth seeking to devour the passenger ship as it pulled the ship closer and closer.

One could certainly see that at that time, Tongxin was extremely helpless. Her classmate who was standing by her side was pushed into a state of hysteria. Tongxin tugged on her classmate's hand, trying to coax her into calming down.

Splash!

A gigantic wave was being stirred up, then, an incomparably large bronze colored spaceship emerged from the depths of the abyssal ocean.

Chen Hao was already exceptionally familiar with this ship-it belonged to the League of the Sun.

They directly swallowed up the poor passenger ship, then promptly vanished to the bottom of the ocean once more!

Chen Hao couldn't hide his agitation. Right now, he held deep hatred for the fact that he couldn't just rush into the screen, and jump in to rescue the people, not even caring if he could actually succeed in saving the people.

The image gradually became distorted due to the extreme fluctuations in Chen Hao's emotions.

"Calm down, Hao, these things have already happened a long time ago!" Ziyan gently held onto Chen Hao's palm, allowing Chen Hao to slowly regain control of his unstable emotions.

The scene continued to change.

This time, a different location was displayed.

It had morphed into a picture of a desert island...
