However, that wasn’t what shocked everyone most. Oh no, their surprise stemmed from the fact that colorful lights were being emitted from within that very ravine! With such dazzling lights that lit even the darkened sky, it made everyone feel like there was treasure waiting to be uncovered down there…
However, seeing that Gerald wasn’t making a move, nobody dared to go any closer. After all, after witnessing such a deadly battle with their very own eyes, all of them were naturally concerned about whether the King of the North would end up killing them if they weren’t careful…
Daryl, on the other hand, was quickly being carried away by the other Crawfords…
When he saw the colorful lights, however, his eyes instantly widened as he shouted, “…No… No…!”
Even so, nobody appeared to hear his cries… In a way, it was almost as though he was desperately trying to stop something…
Regardless, Master Ghost slowly walked over to Gerald, looking at the ravine the entire time as he said, “Master…”
Nodding in response, Gerald then walked closer to the foot of the tower…
Looking down, he saw that a deep pit—not unlike the opening of a big well—had formed underneath the tower… The more he looked at it, the more he felt like there was some kind of underground palace underneath!
To think that the collapse of the dragon tower would reveal such a place…
“What on earth is that…?” asked the audience among themselves, unable to continue remaining patient.
Peering in to get a closer look, Gerald was able to identify that the light was coming out of a colorful pool of water located in the center of the underground palace… The palace itself appeared to be over twenty meters below ground.
Understanding that he wasn’t going to be able to get any more information if he remained up here, Gerald then leaped down together with Master Ghost and a few others.
The deeper they went, the more intense the sensation became, and all this was due to the fact that there was an abundance of holy spirits down here…
Raising an eyebrow, Gerald then began looking around… Eventually, his gaze fell on the ancient-looking and colorful pool from before.
After contemplating for a while, he eventually realized something and quickly asked, “…Say, doesn’t this pool look a lot like that source of holy spirits that Zyla had told me about before…?”
As the name implied, the source of holy spirits was capable of releasing a lot of holy spirits. In a way, it functioned similarly to a water well.
Whatever the case was, it was rumored that there was once an era of great trainers around a few hundred thousand years ago… Back then, great masters were everywhere, and many were even able to enter the realm of the Immortal Body!
When one began training, however, it was obvious that there was a great price to pay in order to climb up the other ranks.
From the time one started training, to the moment they turned into a Chakra King, the journey was never easy. Even after breaking into the levels of Sage and finally entering the legendary levels of attaining immortality, the journey would never become any less arduous…
