The Sealed Palace Makes its Move
The day before the Clan tournament, Rainer and Lerna were still training according to Wolfang's instructions.
Instead of fighting, Rainer was assimilating the spatial attribute into his astral door.After he found out that Rainer was cultivating the spatial attribute, Wolfang gave him some spatial stones that he had stored, after all, unless someone is a magical craftsman or cultivates that attribute, elementary stones are useless.
As its name suggests, elemental stones were formed in places where an element was strongly present, for example there was a high chance of finding firestones in a volcano. However, they were resources that after so many years of exploitation, its number was very reduced, making elemental stones a precious resource.
These four spatial stones indicated that throughout his life, the Ancestor had only obtained a few elemental stones!
The big clans and sects had their own mines of spiritual and elemental stones, but they would not endure indefinitely....
...
Rainer's Astral Gate was like a bottomless pit absorbing the spatial energy. He noticed how quickly his rate of assimilation increased!
"...!"
As his astral door absorbed the spatial energy, the Sealed Palace which had been still in his consciousness seemed to regain its life and charged towards his Astral Gate!
Rainer was terrified!In the end, the astral gate is the core of the cultivation of oneself!If it is destroyed, getting crippled would be the least of all your worries...
Rainer tried to slow down the Sealed Palace with his spiritual energy but it was useless, its speed did not slow down, it was increasing!It looked like a lion that had cornered its prey and jumped over it to finish it off!
"..."
Sweat covered all over Rainer's body as he trembled, his life was in danger!
Lerna, who had felt the disturbance in Rainer's spiritual energy, disappeared in a ray of light and returned to his Astral Gate to hold the intruder!
...
Regardless of the method they both employed, the Sealed Palace continued its course without a single disturbance.
The Astral Gate, which was a huge half-open white gate through which a fresh breeze seemed to flow, began to tremble at the arrival of the Sealed Palace!
*Crash*
As if it were a fragile glass, his Astral Gate was destroyed by the siege of the Sealed Palace!
*Puu!*
Blood was flowing through Rainer's mouth without control, it was his end!
"...!"
When all seemed lost, the Sealed Palace stood where the remains of Rainer's Astral Gate were lying.
After settling in, the fragments of his Astral Gate began to whirl in front of the Sealed Palace forming a new Astral Gate!
This new Astral Gate was golden like the Sealed Palace! After being reformed, the golden Astral Gate descended in front of the Palace and assumed the Gate stance of the Palace!
"Hhhuhh..."
Although confused, Rainer sighed after restoring his spiritual connection with Lerna.
"What the heck happened?"Rainer's back was soaked in sweat, his face was pale and his legs felt faint.
Feeling that everything was finally over, Rainer collapsed on the floor where he fainted.
...
In his dream, Rainer was in front of a giant golden gate, after it was opened, a huge palace appeared before his sight. The palace seemed to be bathed in gold and there were bright lights all over the place,if it weren't for the fact that there was not a single person in it, Rainer would have thought he was at the Palace of the Emperor of the entire human race!
Upon entering the golden palace, Rainer was surprised to find Jehako sitting there having a drink!
"Oh boy! What have you done? The Palace has suddenly become luxurious, it looks like my former home hehehehe..." Said Jehako as he drank what appeared to be tea.
Rainer looked at him perplexed, what the hell was Jehako doing in his dream?
"Oh this? Just think about it and it will appear! It is delicious!"He said as if he were a child eating sweets.
"Isn't this a dream? What happened here?"Asked Rainer.
"I have no idea, I felt a disturbance in the Sealed Palace and then everything became like this, I thought you would know..."
Answered Jehako.
"Your f*cking Sealed Palace almost killed me! Didn't you say it was safe? Sure my *ss!"
Shouted Rainer in anger after he almost died.
"I only told you that so you could help me..., you have to understand my pain, a thousand years confined would drive even the holiest of us mad! I'm sorry,Rainer..."
Cried Jehako as he bowed his head in apology.
After Jehako's apology, Rainer calmed down a bit, he would have done the same if he had been in his situation...
"So, what is wrong with this magical treasure?"
Asked Rainer wanting to solve the Sealed Palace mystery.
"..."
"To be honest, none of us knows it, like the Giant race, this magical treasure appeared from the heavens just like that.After a fierce battle against the Giants, we managed to take possession of it.
It wasn't until a while later that we discovered its ability to seal spirits within!We were glad to discover it, but the price to pay to seal a spirit was the spirit of whoever activated the magical treasure....
It was then when our respective races decided that our sacrifice was necessary ,so after the war,no one could deprive them of their position or status..."
Said Jehako as he showed a sorrowful expression.
"...!"
Who would have thought that the heroic sacrifice legend was actually an execution of heroes!The leaders at that moment judged that after the victory, the heroes would be a problem, so they decided to get rid of the problem by this tactic!
"It must have been hard..." Said Rainer feeling guilty of making Jehako talk about his own past.
"...Don't mind it, I was planning to tell you sooner or later..." He said as he showed a fake smile.
...
After that uncomfortable moment, Rainer told Jehako about how the Sealed Palace destroyed his Astral Gate and converted it into the main gate of the palace.
"..."
"The Sealed Palace is not something that we created, we only use it to seal the giants, that's why I cannot be of any help to you..."
What Rainer was most feared became a reality, without any information about the Sealed Palace, he would never know when such a situation could happen again!
...
When Rainer and Jehako were talking, in Guyi's kingdoms, the rulers of the races were running like headless chickens, the treasure that will allow them to rule over the giants and the whole world, had appeared once again after a thousand years!
"I must obtain it!" They thought.
...
Worried about his body, Rainer came out of his Astral Gate to check his condition.
When he opened his eyes, a sudden warning caught his attention.
