Chapter 138: [136] Meeting The Elders!
Time seemed to compress. What should have taken weeks of careful recuperation was happening in mere minutes thanks to the combination of the jade extract, his Regeneration ability, the Celestial Moon Necklace's healing boost, and the system's multiplication effect.
When Levi finally opened his eyes again, nearly an hour had passed. His body felt significantly better—not perfect, but functional. He could use techniques again without risking permanent crippling, though he'd need to be careful not to push too hard too soon.
He stretched experimentally, feeling the improved flexibility in his joints, the reduced pain in his muscles.

Massive walls—easily fifty meters high and covered in defensive formations that pulsed with golden light—surrounded the campus. Guard towers punctuated the walls at regular intervals, each one manned by cultivators whose auras blazed like miniature suns even from this distance.
