Chapter 67: Almost Fitting
No one imagined that it would take a full two hours to descend the seemingly endless spiral staircase.
Moreover, after Liu Ji saw that strange vision, Yaine decided to discard the covertness and used the Daylight spell to illuminate the stairwell, speeding up their descent considerably.
Even so, it still took them two hours; utterly ridiculous.
When the group finally emerged at the bottom of the stairwell, they were stunned by the sight that greeted them.
This underground space was far more expansive than they had imagined.
The massive cavern housing Swirling Mire City was already impressive, but this space was nearly ten times larger.
The place where the group emerged from the stairwell was on the outermost edge of this immense cavern. In the center of the cavern stood a magnificent golden tree.
This tree was unlike anything they had ever seen; even the massive ancient tree spirits were dwarfed by it.
Golden leaves adorning the tree emitted a gentle glow, illuminating the dark underground. The entire tree seemed like it was made of precious jade, while long, golden branches hung down like threads of gold, creating an ethereal beauty.
