Chapter 122: The Heart Of The World Tree
Meanwhile, Kranos was in his chambers. He stared at the twelve glowing orbs in front of him with a dazed expression; he had finally done it, he had condensed twelve orbs of mana! Kranos felt that the process was extremely difficult, and if it wasn’t for the mana stone, which had a huge amount of energy, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this in his lifetime.
At a certain point, he wanted to condense more orbs after realizing that it was beneficial to him, but he realized that after reaching the twelfth stage, his mana core had reached the limit of what it could split into; there were no longer any impurities in his mana core!
He sighed for a moment, then said, "Now for the fusion process..." Kranos was just about to begin fusing all twelve mana cores when a knock on his door interrupted his thoughts. "Kranos, are you busy?"
Kranos realized that it was Kathryn’s voice. He hesitated for a moment and was just about to tell her he was busy with something when her voice came once again. "Do you want to see the heart of the World Tree?"
"The heart of the World Tree?!" Kranos’s eyes widened slightly as he sat on his bed. His interest was immediately piqued; if he could see the heart of the tree, it would really be a fascinating sight. Hesitating for some minutes, Kranos pondered for a bit. He had been too engrossed in cultivation; taking a refreshing sight would help him calm his mind. After that, he would enter into seclusion once again until the time for getting the treasure.
After thinking for a couple of minutes, Kranos then spoke, "In that case, I will come and see the heart of the World Tree with you." After he finished speaking, he donned his silver robes and then slowly walked out of the room. His gaze met with Kathryn’s, and he realized that she was already dressed quite... beautifully.
Kranos was slightly dazed, but only for a few seconds before his expression returned to its usual calmness. He stared at Kathryn, then said, "In that case, lead the way."
Kathryn nodded, then turned around and led them towards the gate of the hall. After walking out of the hall, instead of walking in the direction which they had previously used to enter the hall, Kathryn walked slightly towards the north. Under the light green, moonlit sky, it was quite a sight.
After walking for a few meters, they entered another hall. Kranos noticed that it was centered around a giant statue. It was a statue of a lady. Kranos was stunned for a moment; the statue looked extremely lifelike!
Kathryn’s voice entered his ears. "This is the statue of the goddess that birthed the World Tree. Some say it is the true appearance of the World Tree," she introduced gently with a beautiful smile.
Kranos stared slightly at the statue in shock. He faintly felt that the statue was looking at him. He didn’t ponder it and continued to follow Kathryn. Suddenly, something caught his eye; he realized that it was a greenish portal.
