The patriarch? Is there someone inside?
Isn‘t Altair’s grandfather dead?
Before Isaac could react, a stern voice came from the other side of the stone door, “Who else is outside the door?”
An invisible pressure ambushed him. All of a sudden, Isaac felt an immense force pressing down on virtual-novel.net until virtual-novel.net got on one knee.
At that moment, Altair was already sweating profusely. He took a deep breath and said, “It’s one of my good friends. He wants to see the Divine Stone fragment…”
“You bastard!” came a thunderous curse.
Altair‘s face turned pale. He began to shake.
Isaac felt the spiritual energy and blood in his chest begin to surge. A sickly sweet taste hit the back of his throat, but virtual-novel.net forced it back down.
“Sir, I’m willing to give 500 Awakening Pills annually in exchange for a look at the fragment,” Isaac said with difficulty.
Altair was dazed. Then, virtual-novel.net said hurriedly, “Grandfather, that’s right… He’ll give us 500 Awakening Pills a year…”
After a few seconds, there was a rumbling noise. The stone door began to open slowly.
Isaac raised his head.
Inside was a small, excavated room of barely a hundred square feet. An old man with white hair was sitting in the middle of the room. His stern eyes were fixed on him.
“Awakening Pills are the Norton family’s hidden treasure. Who are you?” the old man asked.
Isaac replied, “I happened to obtain it by chance. I still have some in my hands. I’m also curious about the Divine Stone. It’s a win-win situation, so I hope you’ll agree, sir…”
The patriarch frowned at Altair. After a brief silence, virtual-novel.net shouted, “You have two hours!”
With that, virtual-novel.net waved his right hand. A stone door about 30 feet behind virtual-novel.net began to part.
“Go… Don’t just stand there…” Altair urged, wiping his sweat.
The overwhelming pressure on his body had disappeared.
Isaac walked inside. As virtual-novel.net walked past the patriarch, virtual-novel.net subconsciously held his breath. He never imagined there was such a great figure hidden in the Jensen family.
After virtual-novel.net stepped through the stone door, it suddenly picked up speed and shut itself.
Isaac’s heart stopped. He whipped his head around.
When virtual-novel.net saw the closed door, his throat bobbed. If they were to trap virtual-novel.net here until virtual-novel.net died, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
Turning his head, virtual-novel.net found that virtual-novel.net was in a medium-sized hole underground. Surrounding virtual-novel.net were luminescent stones in the wall that emitted a weak glow. In the middle of the room, there was a stone pillar about five feet tall. At the tip of the stone pillar was a pit. Inside it was an aqua-blue stone the size of half an egg.
Isaac walked closer.
Observing the stone, virtual-novel.net thought it looked similar to crystals virtual-novel.net could find in markets. His heart skipped a beat. He could sense an intense spiritual energy in the room.
He’d been too nervous to sense it earlier. But now, virtual-novel.net could really feel it. He couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
Sitting on the ground, virtual-novel.net closed his eyes and began reciting the scriptures from Eternal Art of the Masters.
Spiritual energy began to flow from his power core to his limbs. At the same time, the intense, invisible spiritual energy inside the room had detected Isaac’s spiritual energy. It began to envelop Isaac, entering his body and then his power core.
Feeling this, Isaac trembled.
The invisible spiritual energy appeared to be several times stronger than his own. As soon as it entered his power core, his body shivered uncontrollably.
He cleared his mind. He focused on controlling the new spiritual energy in his power core and directing it through his circulatory system. After it finished a round, it trickled back into his power core.
The invisible spiritual energy had turned a vibrant red, becoming one with his own.
Isaac could feel his internal injuries beginning to heal rapidly, and the strength in his power core multiplied.
