That was accurate!
Ambrose nodded silently; he agreed with Eira’s statement. Then, he watched Hacken closely
as he waited for an answer.
Hacken smiled bitterly, and he was about to speak. Buzz!
Suddenly, Coral Island trembled. Even though the frequency of the vibration was mild,
everyone felt it. It felt like an earthquake.
“Look!”
Then, someone outside shouted, and everyone looked toward the distant horizon.
Far away in the distant sky where the Nine Mainland was located, thick black fog formed in
the atmosphere like it was the end of the world.
That was the sign that the Chaotic Mountain Range was in distress.
Ambrose and Eira had no idea what it meant. They thought that it was a sign that an ancient
tomb or a treasure had emerged.
“Oh…”
However, Hacken was shaking. He walked out of the main hall slowly as he stared at the distant sky and muttered,

Chaotic Mountain Range.”
That information had been passed down from generation to generation in the Sea Mackie Clan. They were
supposed to watch out for black fog in the sky, which would mean that the Chaotic Mountain Range was in
distress.
The sign was very different from the emergence of a Grand Weapon or an ancient tomb.
‘So, this is the sign that means the Chaotic Mountain Range is in distress?’
Ambrose and the others were taken aback. They thought it was a coincidence, but they did not doubt it after
noticing Hacken’s solemn expression.
“Quickly! Go to the place where the treasure is and bring me the treasure.”
Hacken immediately summoned his people; he shouted excitedly. They needed to retrieve the treasure since
something strange had happened on the Chaotic Mountain Range. The late Emperor Xuan Yuan had given them
that instruction and the Sea Mackie Clan had to obey it.
However, no one from the Sea Mackie Clan went forward to accept the task.
Hacken felt embarrassed. The location of the treasure was on the seabed a few thousand meters below Coral
Island. Only people who were extremely familiar with the water could go all the way down to retrieve it. However,
some of the Sea Mackie Clan elites had been injured in the fight against Ambrose; they needed rest.
Ambrose stood up and said, “Shall I go get it?”
Even though Hacken did not say much, Ambrose figured that the treasure’s location must be quite dangerous.
Hence, no one from the Sea Mackie Clan dared to go.
“You?”
Hacken hesitated. The Sea Mackie Clan had guarded the treasure placed at the bottom of the sea for thousands
of years and kept the secret from outsiders. The treasure was important. How could they let an outsider
retrieve it?
Ambrose noticed that Hacken was worried, so he said with a smile, “You told us that the treasure is related to
the safety of the Nine Mainland. As a member of the nine continents, I should contribute to that.”
Heather said, “Father, why don’t we let Brother Ambrose do that? I can go with him.”
Eira was about to say something, but she held her tongue after Heather spoke first. A smile appeared on her
delicate face.
Eira had wanted to matchmake Ambrose and Heather. She was over the moon to see that the
two had the opportunity to be by themselves.

“Very well!”
Hacken nodded his approval after Heather persuaded him. “You should be careful.”
Ambrose agreed. His gaze met Heather’s, and they smiled. Ambrose was about to leave
when Hacken smiled and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? You can’t find it without this
map.”
Hacken took some fish oil and smeared it on the map.
After that, a surprising scene happened. Another pattern appeared on the sea map that
showed the route toward the seabed.
It was amazing.
Ambrose admired the wonder discreetly. The Sea Mackie Clan was smart in guarding the
secrets hidden on a sea map.
Watson, who stood by the side, looked at the map with conflicted emotions.
‘So, it turns out that I needed to use fish oil. No wonder I can’t see the secret.’
Ambrose took the sea map, jumped into the sea, and dived toward the seabed under
everyone’s gaze.
