Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Trials of the Monument

Elara stood at the entrance of the path of wisdom, the air around her tingling with anticipation. The ancient runes on the monument glowed softly, casting an ethereal light on the path before her. The trees seemed to lean in, their branches like outstretched hands reaching for the secrets of the past.

As she stepped onto the path, the forest around her transformed. The dense foliage gave way to a vast, open space, where the ground was covered in intricate mosaics depicting scenes of ancient knowledge and wisdom. The sky above was a swirl of twilight hues, an endless expanse that seemed to bend and shift with each step she took.

The path itself was lined with ancient pillars, each etched with symbols and inscriptions in forgotten languages. At regular intervals, the path split into different directions, each route marked by an enigmatic inscription that seemed to challenge her understanding.
