The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 6281

After a long period spent in complete darkness, while a person’s vision does not improve, their sensitivity to light can increase dramatically, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of times.

This was Balin's experience. The absence of the aurora borealis and moonlight for days had not only made him exceedingly irritable but had also allowed his eyes to slowly adjust to the profound darkness. That was why he was able to perceive the faint points of light below, just as he felt he could barely endure it any longer. If the aurora borealis had been continuously shining down, filtering through the ice and casting its dim glow, he would have been oblivious to these barely noticeable lights beneath him.

Upon confirming that it was indeed light and not merely a figment of his imagination, a rush of excitement surged through him.

However, he recalled a tale from a century ago that suggested before the end of the Dharma era, numerous exceptionally powerful cultivators existed in the world. With their extraordinary abilities, they could have certainly constructed an underground city in Antarctica.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Could these points of light below be linked to the Gate of Ascension?!"
