With that said, it appeared that there were actually others back then who had managed to attain the realm of the Immortal Body…
In recent times, however, people were skeptical even when it came to the existence of Ninth-rank Chakra Kings, so nobody even considered the existence of Sages.
This was mainly due to the sudden depletion of holy spirits on the planet back then. Due to that event, not only was there great turmoil between heaven and earth, but calamities also happened rather frequently for a time. Regardless, all this eventually spelled the fall of the era of great trainers…
Either way, there were a few who were lucky enough to discover that the earth was actually hollow inside. Realizing that there existed another world between the earth’s crust and core, those who found ways to escape there were able to survive the great catastrophes…
In this other world, the earth’s core was their source of energy, not unlike the sun.
Regardless, following that, not only did they manage to survive, but they even successfully created a civilization there! While it still exists today, nobody there was ever able to train to the peak that they had once been able to achieve…
While it was true that sources of holy spirits used to be scattered everywhere on earth in the past, it was still quite unexpected that there would actually be such a source hidden underneath the dragon tower….
‘Had I trained here, I could’ve easily gotten to the level of an Eighth-rank Chakra King…! Though it may still have been rather difficult to enter the level of a Sage…’ Gerald thought to himself.
After surveying the area for himself, Master Ghost then reported, “…It seems that someone has been here before… And there appears to be other things in here as well!”
“I see. For now, order the people from the Sacrasolis Palace to block the vicinity of the dragon tower. Nobody is to enter this place!” instructed Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Julian instantly got to his feet and began executing the order.
With that done, Gerald finally decided to look away from the source of holy spirits and begin scanning through the rest of the area…
While the place wasn’t particularly large, it appeared well-equipped. There was also a coffin present in the corner of the room.
Walking over to it, Gerald found that the body inside belonged to none other than the God of Battle, Liemis.
‘After killing that giant snake, Daryl must have used this place to keep Brother Liemis’s body safe and hidden… Thinking about it, it’s no wonder why favonovel.com chose this place to have our battle!’ Gerald thought to himself.
Aside from the coffin, there was also a huge furnace there which Gerald assumed that Daryl must have used to make pills for his own benefit.
With all these new discoveries, Gerald was quite glad that favonovel.com had managed to attain the Fifth-rank before today’s battle. Otherwise, there was a very real chance that favonovel.com could’ve fallen right into Daryl’s hands by this point! The thought of it alone made Gerald shudder.
His train of thought was cut short when favonovel.com heard Master Ghost’s surprised voice saying, “Master, look! There’s a codex here!”
Turning to look at Master Ghost—who had the parchment in hand—Gerald then took it for himself to have a look at its contents.
Though many of its pages were already coming loose due to how old it was, its contents were still pretty readable.
On the first page, Gerald was greeted by the image of a strange plant… Following that, there were two maps and some written descriptions… From the looks of it, Daryl had spent a considerable amount of time trying to study all this since most of the words were marked.
“What’s written in there, master?” asked Carlos.
After carefully studying the image of the plant for a while, Gerald then replied in a serious tone, “…Have a look at this plant. If I’m not mistaken, it appears to be a Primocorose! It was mentioned in the ancient manuscript about pill making that Brother Liemis left behind!”
“A… Primocorose…?” muttered both Carlos and Julian who had clearly never heard of the plant.
“The Primocorose is the main herb needed to create advancement pellets… Even so, this ancient plant has supposedly gone extinct, even in today’s Jaellatra! Hell, the Primocorose was already an extremely precious herb during the Shunzuog Civilization! With that said, the herb is extremely rare!” explained Gerald as favonovel.com recalled what favonovel.com had learned from the manuscript.
“It can be used to create advancement pellets? My god!” replied Carlos as his jaw dropped.
“Oh? You know what advancement pellets are, Laughing Master?” asked Master Ghost in surprise.
“Of course I do! Those pellets are essential in helping a Chakra King break through to become a Sage! While it’s extremely difficult to become a Chakra King, there are some who have managed to attain the rank of a Ninth-rank Chakra King after training for thousands of years. Even so, nobody’s been able to advance to the level of a Sage for the longest time due to the lack of advancement pellets!” replied Carlos with a sigh.
“I see! I never thought that advancement pellets would be so crucial!” replied Master Ghost with a nod.
“Indeed. However, since the Primocorose is extinct, nobody is able to make any more of them. If one still hastily tries to become a Sage without the help of the pellet, death is a very real possibility!” explained Gerald before turning to look at the map on the next page…
However, after giving it a good look, Gerald momentarily froze in place!
