Mystery Behind The Memory Crystal

[A major clue has been found regarding the quest {Mystery Of The Sacred Wind}]

[Quest Succession Rate has been increased]

Ethan smiled a little. But he was not completely overjoyed. He then looked at the status of the quest after asking the system to display it.

[Quest Name: Mystery Of The Sacred Wind]

[Quest Rank: SSS]

[Description: 200 Years Ago, Sacred Wind Academy Was Attacked By A Group Of Powerful and mysterious people. There is more to the story than what you heard]

[Mission: Solve the entire mystery behind the attack on the Sacred Wind Academy]

[Quest Completion Rate: 60%]

Ethan nodded his head in a little satisfaction. Previously his Quest Completion Rate was at 20%. But after understanding the mystery behind the attack that happened 200 years ago, the quest completion rate had increased to 60%. He was happy about it.

He wanted to know what happened after the current Dean Will and others left. But the crystal didn't record any further as Frank asked Will to hide it in the library and lock it until the situation is better.

But Ethan knew that the situation at the academy was definitely not looking good. Then why did the maintenance of the Library was included in the administration list? He felt some conspiracy behind all this. He wanted to know what happened later. But since this is the SSS rank mission, there is no way he could learn them that easily.

Ethan was depressed. Too many doubts arose in his mind right now. Like who is this Beautiful Woman from the Blue Ocean Sect? She is the former Sect Master of the Blue Ocean Sect. This is what he learned from Memory Crystal.

But his question is, that woman went someplace. So what exactly is that place? Even though she said that she would return, why is she taking so long? She said that she is going to a place where she would be the weakest person as soon as she enters that place. Ethan knew that this woman is the strongest person he had seen so far. So what kind of place held so many monstrous characters where every person would be stronger than her?

Even though he had too many doubts, he didn't care much about it. He never cared about anything else. All he ever wanted is just one thing. And that is to complete his quest and reap the rewards. As for worldly affairs, that was never within his dictionary.

His main question is, he found the mystery behind the war that took place 200 years ago. The mastermind behind the attack on Academy 200 years ago was actually the person called Vicious Lord. Why in the hell the system decided that the quest's completion rate is still at 60%?

'Maybe my quest will be complete only after I get into that Secret Zone mentioned by that woman and figure out the mysteries hidden in it.', Ethan thought.

But another strong doubt aroused in his mind. And that is regarding this memory crystal. In his eyes, this crystal was definitely an ordinary object. It is true that it held the memories of the founder of the Sacred Wind Academy. But the question is what exactly Frank wanted to accomplish? What was his motive?

During his death period, he asked Will to hide this memory crystal in the library and close the library until the situation gets better. If he really wanted to hide this memory crystal and was taking precautions from falling in the wrong hands, then there has to be a too much secret information hidden within it.

But no matter how meticulously he looked at the crystal from top to bottom and inch to inch, he couldn't find any clue whatsoever.

Ethan had a strong feeling that he is not able to see something despite every clue on this crystal. In this matter, he trusted his intuition. And why he trusted his intuition, there was a stupid reason behind it.

Because he read many novels where the MC would encounter similar situations. But after working for a long time, he will finally uncover the secret.

Since he was transmigrated to this cultivation world with a system within him, Ethan felt that he is the main protagonist of this story. The only difference is, this is not the story. This is the reality. So he believed that if he persisted just like the MCs in the novels, he will definitely uncover the mysteries of this memory crystal.

Ethan inspected the crystal thoroughly for another three hours. But he was about to go crazy as he didn't find any damn thing. But just as he was about to curse loudly, an idea popped up in his head.

"Heavenly Gaze Activate!", He said and activated the Heavenly Gaze. After activating the Heavenly Gaze, he looked at the memory crystal once again.

And sure enough, the Heavenly Gaze didn't let him down. He found a very tiny amount of shining markings on the crystal. It was very small and even with the Heavenly Gaze, he could barely see anything clearly.

At that time, he felt as if a huge amount of load was placed on his eyes. He couldn't afford exactly what it is. But his intuition told him that using the Heavenly Gaze for a longer period is not a good option.

During his learning period of the skill Heavenly Gaze, he learned that the activation of the skill will drain Spirit Energy. Even with a 0.9 Spirit, he couldn't keep the Heavenly Gaze for a longer period. The only way to use the Heavenly Gaze for a longer period of time is by increasing his Spirit which required Golden Points. And Golden Points were not that easily obtained.

"System! Please record the thing that was inscribed on the crystal and decode it!", He commanded. Since he can't rely on himself, he would rather leave this in the capable hands of the system. And sure enough, the system gave a positive reply to him.

[Recording Under Process]

[Recording Completed]

[The image is saved in the System database under the name Memory_Crystal_Image.jpeg]

[Decoding the image with the name Memory_Crystal_Image.jpeg started]

[Image Memory_Crystal_Image.jpeg has highly complex encryption]

[Decoding will take some time for success]

[Estimated decoding time: 72:00:00 hours]

72 hours!

This is a piece of good news. After 72 hours, he will be able to find the mystery behind that image. He is not some Bill Gates or Larry Page with a high-level IQ. Since the system is taking all the load for him, waiting for 3 days is not at all an issue.

He set the alarm for 3:00 am by asking the system. He then stretched his body lazily and slept soundlessly. He is about to leave the academy temporarily. So he decided to wake up early in the morning and leave quietly.
