Chapter 51- Attentive Gaze
A slight wind blew Sol’s robes and hair while he stood in front of the staircase. He was currently looking at the furthest steps he could see.
He couldn’t help but feel awe as the stairs were giving off a grand feeling.
As he was looking at it, Sol recalled a story he had read in one of the old books his Master gave him.
"The Jade Emperor ascends the Heavenly Staircase, and the path to Immortality opens. Thus, allowing mere Mortals to have a place in the Gods’ Heavenly Realm, becoming a Divine Race."
Sol muttered the short passage as he stared at the staircase.
’Perhaps they created this staircase to resemble the Heavenly Staircase in those legends? Are they saying that the Martial Alliance Academy is as great as the Heavens?’
Sol then recalled the clothes the youths from before were wearing, that had a golden dragon soaring to the heavens. He had long speculated they were disciples from the Martial Alliance Academy.
"I want a robe like that."
Sol thought the robe looked cool because of its symbolism, so he really wanted one. With eager eyes, he raised his foot and began climbing.
However, Sol’s eyes suddenly blurred. A familiar restricting feeling appeared in his chest before his vision cleared.
When Sol looked around, he saw that the mountain had disappeared, and the staircase transformed. Now it was glowing with a golden glow, while at the top there was a fog.
