"Is Lawrence truly that generous?"
"The Celestial Ablution Pond can increase one's chance of making a breakthrough to royal celestial by ten percent."
"Severin has struck gold. First, he was favored by Callide, and now Lawrence is allowing him into the Celestial Ablution Pond!"
"Even Dhorfan and Amin, have never set foot in the Celestial Ablution Pond, and they're the Heaven Palace's successors! It's shocking that the Heaven Palace would grant such an opportunity to an outsider."
The true immortals in the border sea engaged in a fervent discussion. Amin, who stood nearby, wore a crestfallen expression and had a self-deprecating smile on his lips. Though he never envied Severin for his prior favor from royal celestial Callide, he was finally gripped by jealousy when Lawrence offered the spot in the Celestial Ablution Pond to Severin.
The Celestial Ablution Pond was a priceless treasure salvaged from the ancient Heaven Palace, boosting a quasi-Royal celestial's chance of ascending to royal celestial by 10 percent. The opportunity was not to be underestimated, as such a breakthrough could not be achieved by a mere feat of sheer force. Opportunity was more important than anything, and it would require an extraordinary stroke of luck and unwavering perseverance to achieve it.
Countless quasi-royal celestials in the Celestial Realm had previously attempted to transcend, but such endeavors did not end well for them. They were beaten to death, and bloodshed descended upon the Celestial Realm. Yet that opportunity was somehow presented right before Severin, and which only made Amin even more envious than ever before.
He grumbled to himself about his master granting an outsider access to the Celestial Ablution Pond while denying him. With a cold expression, Amin promptly departed from the border sea.
A sudden green glow materialized before him as he was lost in thought. Callide—adorned in billowing white robes as she was supported by auspicious clouds—addressed Severin with a smile. "Ascending to royal celestial does not hinge solely on mastering a path that you have called your own. You need to harness your past, present, and future selves too. I see that your path of attainment is a combination of space and time. Gathering all three selves might prove more difficult for you compared to ordinary people."
Sensing Callide's willingness to impart some wisdom to him, Severin grew earnest and saluted her respectfully. "I would appreciate some enlightenment from you."
Callide replied, "It is but a simple issue. The Celestial Ablution Pond mirrors past heavenly imprints, and immersing yourself in it is akin to traversing the Celestial Realm's original space. During your seclusion there, you should consume more Eighturn Golden pills..." Callide's melodic voice echoed like the ringing of the great path, leaving Severin in awe as a newfound clarity dawned upon him.
