Chapitre 36: Ch 36: Lion Falls (2)

Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo passed deeper into the dense forest covering the entire Mountain Range and finally arrived at the open area that existed between six mountains. Looking around, they took in the sight of a truly majestic scenery.

Before they stood a cliff. Atop the cliff was a huge lion's mouth that appeared to be made of stones. Clouds and mist swirled around it, giving the impression of a passage. A majestic waterfall was cascading down from the lion's mouth, resembling the starry river in the sky of Infinite Soul Star. Up close, its splendor was even more breathtaking.

This was the Lion Falls.

Below the falls was a vast, deep pond where the water was crystal clear. There were many young men and women in masks around.

When the three of them arrived, many eyes turned in their direction.

"Eh, Numbers 17, 18, and 19 have arrived as well. Do they not fear being killed by Number 10?"

Someone said with a disdainful look in his eyes. From his words, it can be said that Numbers 17, 18, and 19 have offended Number 10.

"These three people are really courting death. They think highly of themselves," Someone commented sarcastically as if Emrys and others were nobody in his eyes.

Emrys and the others heard their discussions and furrowed their brows.

"I think our luck was pretty bad. It seems the owner of these masks has offended someone of higher status in the Darkborne Family."

Rohan's facial expression didn't look good. Currently, he is Number 18. According to these people, they have offended Number 10. Doesn't it mean if Number 10 comes here, he will make things difficult for them in every possible way?

"Ignore them. Let's go!"

Emrys glanced at Rohan and Cairo and said. Cairo agreed with him. Then, under everyone's gaze, the three of them approached the Lion Falls.

The Lion Falls had a majestic atmosphere. One could feel the strange energy that came from the rapid flow of water from the falls. It seemed to give people a mysterious feeling.

"What kind of energy is this?"

Emrys's eyes sparkled when he felt the energy slowly wrapped around his body. He could somehow feel the energy's purity. His body let out a buzzing sound. Along with it, his body started to slightly tremble.

Startled, he subconsciously released his Soul Force. Surprisingly, the strange sound and the slight vibration stopped the instant he released the Soul Force.

"The Multicolored Orb actually responded to this power. It seems Lion Falls is truly extraordinary. I wonder who the Soul Sculptor is that created such a marvelous treasure?"

Emrys revealed an astonished expression on his face. This was the first time the Multicolored Orb has reacted this way.

Just as the strange power enveloped Emrys's body, the Multicolored Orb hidden deep within his soul stirred. It seemed to be attempting to absorb the peculiar energy. If Emrys hadn't unleashed his Soul Force, repelling the strange energy, who knows what could have happened?

"Emrys, is something wrong?"

Cairo asked when he saw Emrys's unnatural expression. Rohan also darted a confused look at him.

It turned out that Emrys was the only one who felt that peculiar energy.

It was indeed strange.

"I'm fine."

Emrys shook his head and smiled at him. Then he turned to look into the Lion Falls. Under the incomparably rapid flow of the water from the lion's mouth, twelve pillars of different sizes could be seen standing tall.

On top of nine pillars, nine individuals in masks could be seen sitting cross-legged, cultivating. Their eyes were closed and strange light was constantly being unleashed from their bodies. Waves of pure Soul Force revolved around their bodies.

Moreover, they looked very calm. It was as if they were all immersed in an incomparably profound comprehension.

As for the rest of the three pillars, they were currently empty.

The twelfth pillar, positioned at the very center, stood as the tallest among them all. In addition to the towering twelfth pillar, the other two empty pillars also surpassed the remaining nine in height.

Emrys watched the nine people in masks with keen eyes and said faintly, "This Lion Falls's water flow has a unique rhythm. This rhythm itself seemed to be carrying a kind of enchanting mystery. It is indeed an excellent treasure."

"Cairo, what's the deal with these twelve pillars? You didn't mention them when you were explaining about the Lion Falls. Moreover, why isn't anyone using the tallest three pillars?"

Emrys asked Cairo, who had a better understanding of the Lion Falls.

"The twelve pillars are for Soul Masters to use for the comprehension and cultivation purpose. As I already said before, the flow of the Lion Falls has a strange rhythm. By allowing the water of the Lion Falls to wash the body, anyone enters the state of comprehension. Not only that, the strange rhythm of the Lion Falls can be used to strengthen the Soul River and Soul Force as well, increasing cultivation easily. The further you go, the more benefit you'll obtain."

"What does it mean by going further in the Lion Falls?"

"It is by going closer to the source of the falls, that is the Lion's mouth. These pillars are supports created by the Soul Sculptor to get closer to the mouth of the Lion Falls. However, it is not that easy to climb these pillars. Due to the strange rhythm of the Lion Falls, the closer you get to the mouth of the lion, the more resistance you'll have to face. As for the twelfth pillar in the centermost position, being the tallest pillar, the pressure formed from the flowing water and its strange rhythm is extremely powerful on it. As far as I know, there were only three Silver Soul Masters in the entire Grimscar Family who were able to withstand the formidable power unleashed by the flowing water. I have no idea whether there are others after the Lion Falls was snatched by the Darkborne Family."

Cairo explained with a smile on his face.

Emrys's eyes sparkled as he listened carefully.

"I have also heard that the pressure and strange rhythm formed from the flowing water of the Lion Falls is even capable of killing a person if they are not powerful enough and try to climb the pillars."

Cairo sighed.

As he listened to Cairo, Rohan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He immediately decided not to climb the pillars. No wonder so many masked men opted to cultivate in the pond formed by Lion Falls' water instead of fighting for cultivation atop the pillars.

On the other hand, Emrys's eyes were shining, not showing a hint of fear.
